Re:In the solar system?
Mars is smaller than Earth so you would expect larger volcanos, Venus is about the same size but does not have a moon to create tidal forces in the crust. Many of the gas giant moons have cyro-volcanos, this one is purple, but take a look at the surface and it's clear that Jupiter's moon Io could be considered one giant spherical volcano..

Re:Pay taxes so we can run our schools
Why doesn't Microsoft pay its taxes
And what taxes might they be? I read your article, it mentions none. It does mention, however:
Shifting income to low-tax jurisdictions "is not illegal," said Robert Willens, a tax and accounting expert in New York. "It behooves companies to do this."
So at least one person thinks they have to do it:
behoove (Verb) It is a duty or responsibility for someone to do something; it is incumbent on: "it behooves any coach to study his predecessors"

Summer?I live in Western Australia and it's winter here.
Later "this summer" doesn't start until December.500 miles
For those of us who dont use archaic measurements, it's 800 KM from the city of Perth, which makes it 800 KM from the closest city. If anyone is interested, here's the google maps link and it's distance to Perth, Western Australia.. There's literally nothing out there, picking up an AM radio station is difficult, making it the perfect place for a telescope.
If you truly want to get lost, you need to go somewhere like Murchison, no-one will find you. Of course just about everything there is trying to kill you, from King Brown snakes to Land Sharks and Koala Drop Bears. -

Re:I cut my teeth on that CPU
Yeah. The only thing the old core-memory processors were not so good at was dealing with excessive heat. My first computer was a Burroughs B3700 a lot like this but with a teletype master console (which Burroughs called a SPO, for Supervisor Printer Operator).
If the airconditioning broke down in the machine room, we had about 15 minutes to shut everything down before the temperature hit 50 degrees C. [OT: Why, oh why, can /. *STILL* not manage such simple things as html entities?]
The company I worked for got rid of that machine in 1978 (in favour of a Honeywell DPS7), but I remember reading in some computing magazine in 1988 that NASA (IIRC) had ordered several of these machines. I can't find any reference to it now, so that might have been shitcanned. It wasn't very long after that, in any case, that Burroughs merged with Sperry (another of my earlier platforms) to form Unisys. -

Re:Privacy?
Like every tool ever invented it's affect on society is determined by the people who wield it. There's is enough experience with CCTV now to convincingly demonstrate that they a very effective way to reduce crime or increase oppression. Banning a useful tool because it might be abused by someone never works, it's practically the definition of what it means to be a Luddite.
Let me be clear I'm not arguing for or against CCTV, if you (the royal version) have ever lived in a genuine small town then it would be clear that people knowing your every public move (and way too many private ones) is the default "human condition". Seriously, I took a Sunday afternoon bath with the wife one day, the next day the guys at work were ribbing me about it! If you were 15min late for work the boss would be knocking on your front door. And yes, we really did have kangaroos in the main street, there was one roo in particular that was know to hang out at the bar in the Mallacoota pub! Having said that there's something about living in a small town that just "feels right", assuming you that you naturally "fit in" with the people around you. -
Re:How Tragic
Wynnum is a suburb immediately south of the Caltex refinery. Parts of Wynnum are already within Caltex's major hazard zone. The new suburb proposed was was Wynnum North, basically replacing what little bit of bush and parkland is just above Wynnum with a residential development. If you look at the google maps, that bush and parkland is basically on the otherside of the road to the Caltex refinery (which may I add has had more than 1 major HF release in its history and at least one of which was fatal though that was a long time ago).
Another funny case is happening on the northside of the river. The government is proposing reclassifying half of that picture as residential. A scary thought when you see Neumans, Caltex, and BP terminals right next to each other. They clearly didn't see any pictures of the aftermath of the Buncefield explosion. It makes a mockery of the whole Industrial zoning and major hazard facility zoning system if they are just planning to house people opposite the road.

Re:Another pie-in-the-sky plan
Further than that, realize that all of this energy stored in anything "grown" is from the sun so you can put an upper-bound on maximum POSSIBLE yield by determining how much energy the Earth receives in sunlight, multiply that by the efficiency of a plant storing this into whatever the input of some "process" is and
...Sure: let's do it.
Consumption: World energy production 2009: 11M kT oil=1.1e+7 kT oil = 4.60548E+20 J
What surface of vegetation would convert (by photosynthesis) the same amount of solar energy as the one consumed?
* Solar constant: for simplified calculation, 1kW/m.
* a flat patch "stuck" to the Earth surface captures during the day only 1/PI of the incident flux (assume equatorial position; take the "cosine law" and integrate between "dawn" and "dusk". Divide by the whole duration of the day). For an year, the "effective exposure time"=365*24*3600/PI= 1e+7 "full sun seconds".
* Photosynthetic efficiency: for simplified calculation, 5%
Equivalent power needed: 4.60548E+20 J/1e+7 "full sun seconds"=4.60548E+13 W=4.60548E10 kW.Because 5% conversion efficiency, we actually need 9.211e+11 kW.
The surface needed to capture that much: 9.211E+11 m=9.211E+5 km. For comparison: Amazon jungle area=5.5e+6 km.... and you will likely realize that this is completely impossible since we are currently burning more than one day (probably some number of years) of "stored sunlight" (oil) per day just to live our current lifestyle.

Re:Impressive
Not too many pterodactyls where I worked, but the first computer I used (a Burroughs B3700) back in the '70s got the job done with less than 128K of usable (core) memory.

Result 2. The wikipedia page for Mann in gereral - it states everything it may refer to but the closest to the climate scientist is a list of people with the surname Mann.
Result 3. The wikipedia page for Thomas Mann the german novelist
Result 4. Mann Travel - Book cheap flights
Result 5. The teitter account for MANN - appears to be the rappers twitter account.
Result 6. IMDB page for Michael Mann - the writer/producer/director
Result 7. The myspace page for Mann (i also believe the rapper)
Result 8. The personal homepage of Merlin Mann (Indie Writer, Speaker, and Broadcaster)
Result 9. The facebook page for Mann (Not sure whats in it, but i doubt anything incriminating regarding the climate scientist)Under that we have Videos for man: This contains links to what look to be music videos
Then News for man: three articles related to the Port Mann Bridge.
Finally there's searches relating to Mann:

Re:We care about ad networks?
I remember altavista, I'm even old enough to have a kid who ran a BBS in the late 80's. I also remember that google had a superior search engine with superior results. Searching for code and tutorials is a snap compared to when I did my CS degree, just about every developer I know uses the net on a daily basis to answer obscure questions. In my long,long, experience I get two types of result list, the type of list you complain about is indicative of a question where nobody knows the answer (or a malware infection). The more common result list is a treasure trove of useful information. If you do this often enough you can become pretty adept at picking which results are useful (like a seagull learns to pick out edible bits at the tip).
I suspect what you are experiencing is nostalgia for the feeling of discovery that comes with youth. Doesn't have to be that way, my dad is an 80yo retired engineer and recently "discovered" python, it's kept him entertained for the last six months.

Speeding is inherently dangerous behaviour.

note:that story is for 2010, however i cannot find any instanced of deaths since then.
here's another tip for you, the fact that a something occurs in google search results does not mean that that thing happened, or perhaps i misjudged you? you have to actually look at the resuts. i looked at the results of your search and none of them showed any deaths. one of them was titled 'Borderland Beat: WikiLeaks: Mexican Informants Killed' but i'm assuming you didn't actually read it as the only deaths mentioned in it were from before the cable leaks. i'm pretty sure mexican drug cartels don't have time travel yet.

So let me drive 3 hours north of Perth, Western Australia and find that this system is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
Now, why would you want to drive 3 hours north of Perth anyway, if there are no digital TV or radio signals there? There is no need for a navigation system to get you to a place no one wants to get to. As to finding your way to towns separated by 500KM of no TV, just follow the road. There is only one between the two. "You can't get lost, from here, to there!"
Of course, Australia already has an excellent built-in Navigation System infrastructure: Aborigines. They have been wandering the continent for 10 thousands of years, and have not gotten lost there yet. So just stop and ask one for directions if you don't know the way.

I cant really see a use for this technology that GPS doesn't already fill and a huge drawback because as soon as you get to places with only one mobile phone tower or one source of TV signals (most rural towns in Oz) its fucked (the fewer sources you have for triangulation, the less accurate the result). Then we have the great wide expanse between towns which can get up to 500 KM of open road with no TV, no mobile coverage, no WiFi networks and even AM radio is spotty at best. In fact in many places the only source of radio transmissions will be from 2 way radios mounted on trucks... if there happen to be any trucks in the area.
Really this is some nice research BAe but it has no practical use outside the lab. Seeing as it's only useful within cities any commercial product will remain inferior to traditional GPS. -

Re:What a scam
"However, the content of the book (subject to copyright) is *NOT* owned by you, only licensed to you. "
No, this is a fine point but that is still not correct. You DO own the content, as well. You are just restricted by law from doing certain things with it.
Buying a book is not a "contract" between you and the author, and copyright law does not constitute a "license". You are simply enjoined from engaging in infringing activity.
You reckon?
Ok, here's a tip: open any printed book on your bookshelf (assuming you didn't drop the "dead-tree books") and read the copyright notice(s) on the first pages - usually where ISBN and other publishing info are printed.
Here's an example an example: a text which is in public domain for hundreds of years; you'll notice that, while not that extensive as an EULA, the copyright notice sound exactly like one (for this example: "Cover art, interior art and text copyright 1990 Playmore Inc. etc.
International copyright reserved in all countries. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without written permission from the publisher")1. Doesn't the above sounds to you like an "simplified but still binding EULA for books"? (as you can't reverse engineer a book or break a DRM scheme for a paper book, seems only natural to me the EULA is much simpler for a book that for a software)
2. Doesn't an EULA act as contract between the buyer and the owner of the copyright? (note that I'm not asserting that the author is the owner of the "intellectual property" that the content of the book represents). -

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1265114Decided to convert my NAS
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=hp%20microserver&hl=en&meta= into a HTPC with a slimline video card (40$) and put XBMC on it (plus XBMC remote for Android, no IR, no bluetooth required)Has been better than expected, XBMC came a long long long way since my Xbox 1.
Playback is smooth, UI is good, even installed MySQL on the little NAS and now the library can be accessed around the house easily with multiple copies of XBMC tied in to the main box.
Very good stuff.
