I think it's not about the stopping environment change. I think what needs to be done is PREPARE for environment change. We can't control the environment - no matter how hard we try. The environment has always been changing. It's silly to think that we can control the Earth's climate...
Heh, I just looked on bash, and I saw that exact quote under the "latest" section. (http://www.bash.org/?766211) Looks like somebody stole your funny post.
That radiation will 'red shift" to longer and longer frequencies, eventually becoming undetectable within our galaxy. Krauss said, "We literally will have no way to detect this radiation." How will the redshift increase? How far a wave travels doesn't affect how long its wavelength is. An increase in how redshifted galaxies are would require the galaxies to accelerate away from each other, but how could they? There is no force which allows them to accelerate. There is only gravity which slows them down.
Perhaps those lines have more to do with the camera taking the photo than the screen itself? Whenever I see images of monitors they always have lines across them.
As someone with a green heart i ask the public : WHO is subverting the debate ? WHY does Green HAS TO SHOUT so loud ? Because some don't buy into the media hype.
Precisely how is liberty being destroyed at all? This entire alarmist attitude is futile anyway - people will eventually accept these drones just as we accept security cameras today (even ones with facial recognition ones, gasp).
Why the massive opposition of development in technologies? This is only a step forward. It will allow us to track criminals (yes, criminals, not normal law abiding citizens)far more easily. It will cost less as it is more automated. Embrace it, don't opposite it.
The real solution is to simply test the users ability to spot a phising attack before letting them using an online bank. For example, the test might consist of questions asking "is this the official website or a fake one?" with images etc. If they fail the test, they are not allowed. They must pass the test (this means taking the test however many times) to be given the authorization to use the online bank. And voila, problem solved.
Oh please. You are incredibly naive to think that these cards could become even a hundredth of the popularity of pokemon cards. Pokemon became insanely popular (but has dropped of slightly now). That's why your son knows what the cards may be.
Do you think that any teener would find it cool to have these cards? Take a moment to think about which teenagers it would appeal to. That's right - it would appeal to those who thoroughly enjoy chemistry and hence know a lot about chemistry already. It will not attract those struggling with the subject. The idea will not work...
Instead of trying to change the definition of broadband, why not just aim for whatever number of households with 2 Mbps or more? And then have the FCC sate how many households have 2 Mbps or more?
That allows a user to place their finger below the item they wish to choose so that they can see the item, rather than hiding it with their finger" Would the user not have already decided to press whichever button? When pressing something, I don't need to see what I am pressing as I have already decided what to press.
The only thing setting it so a user must press below a button will do is create confusion.
I'm sorry, but why is it referred to as an "Alien World"? Using the term "alien world" is somewhat confusing given the context of new research about planets...
What happened to grammar? If it was about Americans, would it read "Skynet Means More Bandwidth for American"? I wouldn't have a problem with it if it said "the British", but that is not the case. It just reads as though the last part of the sentence (which would have been 'forces') has been sliced off.
I think the real question here is why people believe that blame has any significance. It is irrelevant who's fault any given event is. However, it is relevant to look at the data of the event, determine whether it had a bad effect and, most importantly, learn how to prevent it from happening again if it did have a bad effect.
In some cases, it may indeed be prevented from occurring again due a being sued (the person or persons would then take more care about not causing it to occur again as it causes financial damage). But it certainly isn't true in all cases.
The person which the event caused damage should NOT depend on suing the person. Instead, insurance should have been taken. Insurance should pay for the damage done. If one didn't take insurance, one shouldn't expect to receive any money for the event.
It is only a human irrationality which makes people think "Person X did damage, therefore person X should pay for that damage!" - there really is no logic behind it. Open your eyes.
That's useful, because the poll sample will be completely unbiased!
The fact is that Blu-ray will win due to the PS3 and the general superiority of the technology. Attributing ones dislike of one company involved with the technology (Sony) to ones judgment of whether it will fail or not is inappropriate. I think the main reason Slashdot users believe that Blu-ray will lose is because Sony has had a dislikable record with rootkits amongst exploding batteries so, obviously, Blu-ray will lose the format war.
I wouldn't be surprised if the challenge was illegal too. IANAL, but isn't putting a reward on comitting a crime seen as inciting crime? I'm pretty sure that I'd end up in lots of trouble if I said "$10,000 says you can't rob that guys house" and the person accepted the challenge then was caught.

Why not make it just the same weight so it can withstand massive amounts of punishment? Was the old Kevlar just too heavy to use properly?
I agree 150% with you.

There is no need? Exactly what has Microsoft censored recently?

Stiill?
Sorry.
I read the title as "Robotic Arm Fails in Grasping After Stroke".
Attack it's weak spot for massive damage.
Common sense in a courtroom? Now thats an oxymoron.

Haven't you heard of the the butterfly effect?
