You put up posters encouraging random people to track a paranoid mentally ill person? Did you not think that might have harmed his mental health to see those posters of himself and have people pointing him out to their friends without under

Journal publishers are little more than "pdf middle men". They offer less value than scribd, which is saying something.

I kept reading on the topic, the paper in question quotes papers from a leader in the field, A.R.Jensen, from 1980,1987,1998,2006 and 2011 but decides to skip over a 2002 paper by him, GALTON’S LEGACY TO RESEARCH ON INTELLIGENCE, which says

I have access to the paper, it's a shame that's still a problem with journals (the journal I am connected to, although I don't work in psychology, is open so the movement is slowly prevailing). So they argue that in the Victorian era people

You are just assuming there is some contractual tethering ban. It's a data SIM designed to go in a usb 3G modem or a tablet. There's no contractual agreement between Google selling an independent computer and a telco in central Europe as fa

"Not just hackers and rogues", well it was billed as a premium device with the full Android experience. It's a data SIM specifically for use as a modem SIM not as a phone, so while I understand they want to do that I don't see why Google

How would they know, and how would they reach into the device and make the menu options disappear permanently? My answer to Veus has the rest of my thoughts on that.

If that's the case, I am not sure it is unless you have a link or reference, why is a computer bought specifically outside of a contract obeying these directives? Imagine the reaction if Apple or Microsoft sold a computer which "obeyed ISP

Be careful to check that this new Nexus 7 doesn't have any features disabled before you buy one. The tethering is entirely disabled on on my Nexus 7 3G, bought outside of any contract or carrier, as it is for everyone else (search for "Nexu

The only upside you seem to have there is the hardware itself, and that updating whichever OS (you don't specify) was harder before. It's not like I don't have ssh here on my Ubuntu machine (similar model Thinkpad to yours), I don't see why

Isn't there substantial evidence that Goldman Sachs were telling clients to make investments into areas they were themselves betting against? I am not sure if they are the best people to use as support for any economic argument, but especia

Nexus 7 3G bought outright entirely separately to any plan or network carrier. Tethering is entirely disabled and many forums confirm this. And while I theoretically could I am not going to install a "cracked" version of Android from a l33t

I can get the same functionality in terms of hardware at the more or less same cost, certainly not $1000 more as you claim. A 1.7gighz ARM or the other versions aren't more powerful than a 1.6gighz or higher Atom processor at the same price

I really loathe these app popups, unless you are doing some serious processing like a for a game there is almost no reason for an app. It breaks the power of a browser to have multiple documents and it breaks urls and linking to content. An

I don't see the point in using a crippled operating system when it will prevent you from quickly editing a low res screen cast or editing an image in the GIMP. Machines in that price range have enough performance to do some of these tasks e

Thanks for the knee-jerk anti-British rant, and I am very well aware of Yes Minister as well, but I was actually referring to this case.[1] [1] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17706290

You mean like the traditional Croatian wine Prosek being banned from sale because it sounds too similar to prosecco which was developed long after (and they are different types of wine).[1] Or the feta cheese I buy from Germany that can't c

The flipside of this are things like the banana regulation, more commonly known as Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94.[1] I believe it's now rescinded under ridicule but there are people who try to deny it even existed. It's well worth r

My main objection to it is that this rebranding of statistics (and machine learning I suppose) obscures the deep political connection statistics has[1] and in so doing obscures the fact it's going to have major political ramifications acros

While it's true in his category of "PhD's that work" the most useful degree is Computer Science as it's closest to "data scientist" of all the available PhDs you still need domain knowledge to apply it. So while it's no coincidence that Phy

It would certainly be useful to have all elite interactions (not the content) available in real-time to link with a revision controlled legal system. I.e. you could follow particular clauses in laws back to particular legislators, even in t

I have the Fredrik, it's a great desk. I combined it with a nice adjustable mesh bar stool to regularly go from sitting to standing. I also have a thinkpad style keyboard, and therefore no mouse, so it's extremely minimalist. I just need a
