Lots....
Note, I'm not just talking about Manhattan (where contrary to mythology, lots of people have cars), but the whole NYC metro area (where even more people have cars)
And thats really just an example, the only point I was trying to make was that trumpeting some use-case where an electric vehicle "won't work" as rationale as why they aren't viable is bunk.. There are myriads of vehicle use-cases where they will work, and work well.
That's wonderful bunch of anecdotes, but it doesn't really invalidate the case for the electric vehicle.
There are more people in NYC metro area (NYC, northern new Jersey, eastern CT) then there are in Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Idaho, and Alaska combined....
Like diabetes, eh? Any reasonable evidence to back that up?, i.e. data that shows that a diet with GM based foods will cause diabetes, where the equivalent diet, with non-GM based food, would not? I find that really hard to believe given that something like HFCS is defined at the molecular level, and is not going to be any different sourced from GM or non-GM
Or is that one of those special Fox News "I can make any kind of unsupported BS assertion I want, as long as I phrase it in the form of a question" type statement.
Clueless (about this), not a troll, I truly just don't know.
If I have flash plugins installed, but not acrobat, and I did my browsing in an account without admin privileges, how vulnerable would I have been? If you can't answer, perhaps you are clueless as well?
What was the impact of this on an (otherwise) fully patched ubuntu machine, running flash, but not acrobat(not installed), in a non-admin account.
I have used my ubuntu machine at home to look at several questionable flash based websites in the last few weeks and want to know if I should format and re-install
Orbital physics tells us that a launch point near the equator, going west, is the most efficient location.
But after that, I guess it couldn't hurt Not a physicist, but I think the forces at work here are of such a low order that a million other factors would probably be more important for factoring in a new launch location (weather wind, etc).
No, the effect on water pressure would be minuscule
and your depth gauges probably measure depth via pressure and not the absolute distance between your position and the the surface?(pretty sure that's how that works), so it would be inherently self-calibrating
Did the decision yesterday really say that? I'm just asking, because all I saw was 500MHZ additional to wireless services, but they didn't say where those 500Mhz were coming from. I assumed it would be carved out of sub 5Ghz spectrum, but not the UHF TV band
Huge implications if this can be approved for human use.
Getting something to anchor postively to the remaining bone and go through the skin, yet be sealed, so its not a huge source of infection would be a big big deal.
Getting a prosthesis to properly fit into a stump has always been hard, and expensive, and doesn't even work that great when its executed perfectly.
It often also being a source of lifelong discomfort, skin irritation, and annoyance.
What I'd envision is a permanent bone-interface protruding and few inches or so, with a strong locking mechanical interface on the other side, so that the user can tailor the prosthesis to the occasion
the result is everything becomes about making profit now instead of building long-term stability
well yes and no
There are a lot of not-as-smart-as-they-think-they-are douchebags engaging in this kind of activity, their effect on the rest of us is debatable
But, there are still the Warren Buffet types out there, who actually care enough to do the homework, assess the underlying value, and the long term prospects of their investments
Guess who is richer?, this is not a coincidence...
We now have common USB peripherals, and even docking stations!
If you can make back to the early 90s be sure to sell all of your IBM stock, take a second mortgage on your house and buy up all of the Microsoft stock you can, also this coffee shop company out of Seattle, I know it sounds ridiculous, but trust me...
Oh, and sell it all and buy Gold in late 99, trust me..
I agree this is cool, but I don't know if the radio relay is commercially viable (perhaps in emergency and military situations but not in "normal" times")
A single high altitude airship, it has been proposed, hovering around 60K (feasible but expensive) feet just inland of NYC would have line of sight over the entire NYC, Connecticut, Rhode Island Northern New Jersey, and Philadelphia metropolitan areas
Sounds great, but nobody has ever made the dollars and cents work out when compared with terrestrial towers and services like directTV
As a user of Ubuntu 10.04, am I at risk over this? My installation has flash, but not adobe's reader software.
I do all of my browsing in a restricted account (no admin/install privileges). So am I at "risk", if so how significant, and what can I do about it (accepting that I still want to look at videos and such online)?
Yes tough guy, there's a law, probably a few of Newton's laws actually:
The ones that would govern the interaction of your skull, with one/several small pieces of supersonic flying lead are what comes to mind
If you don't like this (and I don't either), vote democrat, keep voting democrat, and when scalia/thomas/roberts/alito finally kick off, we can replace them with judges that actually respect the fourth and fifth ammendments...
Fail on that: Malwarebytes and MSE both can find Aleuron.h file, indicative of a particular flavor of root kit. They both find it, but they cannot remove it.
I googled around and the consensus was, "eh, just rebuild"
Also cars built in from the late 90s forward are a LOT safer than cars from the early 90s and before
side impact beams and airbags have helped, but they come at a weight penality
Also, consumer tastes, spurred on by the automotive press IMHO has changed a lot. 30 years ago, a family sedan with a 160HP engine that went 0-60 in 9 seconds would be considered adequate, if not sport for its class. Now, that rating would universally be considered "sluggish" and underpowered...

Right, because you will die quietly in your sleep, of nothing...
I submitted an article recently about that very thing: C02 + Solar Power = Petrol or petrol like substance. (in theory at least) http://www.hindustantimes.com/Soon-you-can-fill-your-car-with-petrol-made-from-CO2/Article1-567293.aspx

The algorithm must change upon moving your finger
Seriously this whopper might be too big for even the Jobs' reality distortion force-field to overcome...
Thank you for the kind explanation
I still don't understand why I was modded down to troll, twice
my question wasn't intended to offend/inflame anyone, but apparently it did

Latitude is the most important factor.
Orbital physics tells us that a launch point near the equator, going west, is the most efficient location.

Was there additional info published?
Push em out of that juicy 420-450mhz slice o' spectrum.
Ok, I'm just trollin.. leave the ham's alone...
The through-the-skin interface is the real story

Hmm, I had my suspicions the Germans were up to no good.
Now the Russians are in on it too
how the hell am I supposed to tinfoil my entire property?

I'm still confused/scared about all of this
As a user of Ubuntu 10.04, am I at risk over this? My installation has flash, but not adobe's reader software.
I do all of my browsing in a restricted account (no admin/install privileges).
So am I at "risk", if so how significant, and what can I do about it (accepting that I still want to look at videos and such online)?
gotta think somebody is working on this
once economies of scale kick in, could it give tape a run for its money?
just askin?
I give fox news about a day, to come up with story that implies that this means that Obama is wreckless, hates America, etc...
surely with a headline as stupid as what I came up with
I wouldn't mind being a doctor, although I'm sure I'd need to refresh myself on the latest technologies...
