That’s not the point. If you patent it, you make that process public. That’s the intention behind patents. They were supposed to give inventors an incentive to publish how their inventions work while still protecting them.
No, it did not. Falcon 9 (the rocket) was – more specifically, the second stage – Dragon (the spaceship) was not. That’s not exactly rocket science but people still get it wrong all the time. (During the post-launch press conference a journalist asking questions about it got it wrong.)
What this means is that the remains were put into orbit around the Earth but they will re-enter the atmosphere and burn up. (I was actually looking around when the second stage will do that or whether it already did but couldn't find anything.)
Cute how you think feminism doesn’t have a problem with fixed gender roles (i.e. cutting hair is a woman’s job). Also note that many typical women’s jobs are low paying and low status†. How deluded can one person be?

† Yes, there are exceptions to this. But they are just that: exceptions.
There is no one right way of doing this. I just went to my magazine shelf and grabbed as many different magazines as I could.
Der Spiegel(1) (Germany’s most widely read news magazine) nearly always puts authors’ names at the end of articles.
brand eins (2, a German business magazine) puts the names of authors, illustrators and photographers right at the start of articles.
11Freunde (3, a German magazine about soccer culture) also puts authors’ names right at the start, as does Slanted (4, a typography magazine) and the German Wired (5).
So bylines are pretty common, but not everyone uses them. Putting names at the end of articles seems perfectly acceptable, also.
I think the incentives are pretty clear: fame, status and the ability to do something with your life (instead of being stuck on Earth).
Oh, and we are talking about a hypothetical situation in which money still plays a role. Having barely enough income to lead a dignified life (that should be the standard anyway, no human should be homeless or have to starve, no matter whether they work or not – but currently we try to achieve that with a complicated patchwork, at least in Europe) is not the best experience. There are tons of incentives to do more. Making more money would give you a lot more freedom to do things.
Also, why would you sit at home and watch TV when you could work on robots?
No matter what, a divorce will never leave him not incredibly rich. He might care about something that’s not mere property (like always keeping control over Facebook until he decides he doesn’t want to anymore), but as long as we are talking about mere property, the amount should make it easier.
Can someone please explain the whole story from the start? I do not understand anything.
5by5 has an app, only recently released. Why would there be another one? Is the app 5by5 has the same as this Mule one? What is this Mule thing? Is it completely new?
Take a look at the Cinema Display. Thunderbolt is Apple’s docking station replacement. That’s its purpose and it’s awesome. They are pushing Thunderbolt because it’s a perfect solution for a problem Apple has had for a long time. You have to be blind to Apple’s ecosystem to not see that.
They are not pushing it to replace USB3. That doesn’t even make sense. When Ivy Bridge MacBooks ship without USB3 you can claim that. No second earlier.
Yes, Apple is, like Intel, not enthusiastic about USB3. They don’t think it’s so important to move super fast. It’s just not top-priority. They will add it when it doesn’t cost them much and doesn’t add constraints to their design. But they are not stupid enough to believe that Thunderbolt could replace USB. Both technologies complement each other.
Intel doesn't support USB3 yet. USB3 devices aren't even yet widespread. Since space is at a premium in the Airs, Apple obviously doesn't add an extra USB3 chip in them just to support what still is a niche feature.
Ivy Bridge does bring USB3 support. If the next generation of MacBooks (coming this summer) doesn't support USB3 you get to make your claim that Apple is trying to force Thunderbolt as a mass market technology. But no second earlier.
That’s not really what I meant. Most people do not know what algorithms are in the first place. That’s what you have to teach. You would tell them that some of the most common tasks are searching and sorting, for example, and then show different ways of doing it. It’s not about picking out the best algorithm, it’s about showing which types of problems are usually solved with algorithms and also explaining some of them, maybe also in a second step how those algorithms can be combined to solve more practical and complex problems.
That way people learn what’s possible. But you are of course right, in most cases even a naive implementation is better than manual labor.
Playing mere music files is simple enough. I think mobile Safari can handle that.
