Apparently the rolls royce engines have a remote debugging ability that was not enabled on this flight, however it was still pinging home which is how they first noticed the course change. They had disabled all the other trackers, so if the

It would be relative. The ideal is to work somewhere that pays top whack, save, then move to somewhere with lower average incomes. Tricky to do though.

Sounds like they have a disk with a large storage capacity and perhaps a slower read time and the marketing just did it's self. I would have imagined some special material that can last longer and is at lower risk from scratches...

There is a slight limitation where you async operation returns before you assign your call back. By using an object (in this case a promise) you could cache the result and make it available to anyone adding a listener in the future.

Perhaps councils will see them as a way to make money and start charging for the electricity they provide. Could be a nice little earner when they become popular.

Perhaps your council will install a EV charge point in your road if you ask them, then you can charge it for free and get a dedicated parking spot ;)

I have a car with Adaptive Cruise Control (it has a fricking radar on it's head) and it rocks for long straight roads. Add adaptive lane assist and your half way there ;)

Yeah give them all the solutions and then take them away after a day or so. If they had some complete percentage you could also reduce that once they are removed, that's an achievement loss right there.

Even better introduce restrictions after a set time limit that the user needs to pay to regain. (Just don't tell EA)

I really don't get why they have done this. Anyone care to explain how this works/will work with the whole MS purchase?

The problem I see is that all the effort I put into protecting my contacts from being shared with linkedin, it only takes 1 clueless ex-colleague or friend to do it and my details are out there.

Yes I think Halley's comet appears in the Bayeux Tapestry which I assume has been linked to an appearance in the 12th century. Better check the stitching on that to make sure it wasn't modified ;) [EDIT] Halley's comet appari

They needed to have an alternative to flash to make not implementing it viable... If they hadn't added canvas/video etc to HTML and there was no way to do half the things flash did, it would have been trumped by Android and their

That was to kill flash. Now they have video and animations sorted they don't want to eat into their native platform.

If you are talking about AIR as a web browser, then it runs webkit, so actually it was the same speed as Chrome when they both used the same runtime. Now it's outdated, so I imagine Chrome is faster.

The BBC fights hard enough to win the rights to show this content, if they didn't the content owners would go to the other channels, Sky, ITV, Channel 4, 5 or even create their own distro like HBO. People, the majority of people don&#x
