Round and cartridge are synonyms. A revolver and a Glock in the same caliber are both going to use cartridge style ammunition, often called rounds. You're thinking of bullet and cartridge/round which people always mix up.
Having the chargemaster is still nearly worthless because you can't predict which of the redundant codes your hospital will use to calculate the bill or even which procedures they will charge you for. One hospital will bill your for every glove they use and another will bill you some flat rate for supplies. Even if you hold insurance negotiations constant you can't do an apples to apples comparison between two hospital billings just based on how their chargemasters compare. It's such a fucked industry for the consumer.
I guess you've never been the Japan. It's not universal but it is a very frequent habit for standers to stay to one side and walkers to freely use the other. They're not particularly wide and I'm an Amerifat but still manage not to clog up the escalator like a double-handrail-holding can't-fucking-balance jackass.
What are you doing touching the rails anyway--you want to pick up the latest cold or flu going around?
I had a similar experience growing up next to a eucalyptus grove right in the middle of the migration path. In the morning the trees would come alive as tens of thousands of butterflies began beating their wing to wake up, then as the sun's rays hit they would disperse into the air and fill the grove with twirling, beating butterflies. The weaker ones would be dead and dying on the ground and others would float all around from the canopy to the floor--it's impossible to convey the experience in words but it's something you will never forget.
You are simply misinformed. While forest management is a contentious issue in California it did not play a significant role in the Tubbs fire that wiped out part of Santa Rosa or the Camp Fire that erased Paradise.
Years of drought, 200 days since the last rain, hurricane force winds, and improper brush clearing by PG&E around power lines are all significant factors in these fires.
The only kind of management you could do is remove the forests entirely and replace them with sand or concrete. The forest management strategy of the early 20th century was in error and was long-since corrected. These fires are not the result of too much accumulated brush because fires weren't allowed to burn half a century ago.
Does she think that terrorists hop on planes and then live-blog their intentions dead-tree? What sense would that make?
Maybe she thinks that terrorists board the plane first and then work out the physics required to sabotage the flight en-route.
Or does she think that math itself can be used to control airplanes from the passenger seat?
I guess this is the increasingly less rare intersection of ignorance, abject stupidity, and irrational paranoia. I'd be pretty angry with this passenger for being so stupid, let alone delaying the flight and wasting fuel.
What a retarded piece of contemporary fluff bullshit. Surely people of the past thought the same thing about horseless carriages, pocket watches and clocks accurate enough for navigation, the compass, the sextant, cargo ships, railroads, TNT, the fucking wheel, portable fire sticks, airplanes, radio, all sorts of farming equipment, the telegraph and the telephone, operational amplifiers, general purpose computers, vacuum tubes, semiconductors, etc. etc.
The iPhone is just a polished consumer device that presents a variety of previously existing technologies in an appealing way to technopeasant masses. In no way do high volume sales translate to relevant influence on humanity. Go research Tulip Mania and I'm sure TIME would have presented the tulip as one of the most influential investment strategies of all time.
In reality this meaningless shit will be forgotten about in 5 generations, just like TIME and all the other dinosaurs that failed to make the leap from dead-tree media to the Internet.
If you seriously want to argue that these things are flying around in class G airspace then let me come back by informing you that there is a large TFR to the surface during firefighter operations and they are busting that TFR. It is not a free-for-all just because it's close to the ground.
I really like my Dell M4800 Core-i7 4800MQ (quad-core) laptop. It is very powerful both in terms of CPU performance and graphics performance. It has been a very good engineering workstation and has no trouble decoding 1080p video and running FSX with all the detail turned up to max.
Whatever you do, don't waste money on a cheapo big-box bottom-dollar consumer laptop.
This is the first I've ever heard of either of these accounts and after glancing at them I still fail to see why anyone would give a crap? It's like staring at a random word generator. Neither intriguing nor captivating. Giving them a day of fame here is a waste of my time and undeserved food for their troll of a project.
I read the article. The impression I got was that it will still take the same time today that it would have taken yesterday to break encryption, but it turns out that the metric used to demonstrate an algorithm's effectiveness at hiding information was inadequate for electronic communication. In a nutshell, the latest math explains that most encryption systems are vulnerable to side-channel attacks, even if you might not have realized it. But side-channel attacks have been employed for a long time, so those who do security already knew this anecdotally.
Once the idea is tested and youâ(TM)re comfortable with the design, you can add type annotations.
I've been doing this with comments since 1999 and it works great! Of course I still haven't gotten around to that final step of going back and adding all those comments but I love the flexibility!
Unless you like bugs, type-checking is a good thing. Lack of type enforcement encourages what -- lack of forethought?
The flies in my part of California don't bounce off the walls. WTF? Sure, they fly back and forth and in circles, but bouncing off the walls as a form of navigation? I have my doubts as to whether this was truly nature-inspired.
This phenomenon and all the proposed solutions (tarpitting, port knocking, fail2ban, rate limiting) are old news. This whole headline is old news. I've seen coordinated distributed robo-worm port scans and brute force attacks on every service of every port of my servers since ages ago. Fail2ban ultimately does nothing since the source IPs switch every few seconds to a random country. All it ever did was eventually lock myself out for 20 minutes when I typo'd a password.
The only real solution (which we can't implement) is to shut down the bot nets and disconnect infected hosts.
There's no uC or accelerometer visible in the cube, let alone a cellular radio to send the text message. This is either a complete hoax or at the very least it is misleading in that it doesn't describe the electronics outside of the cube that do the real work (over a nearly line-of-sight IR link).
Reading the summary, I thought: "Open the gate and let loose the quackery!"
Inviting EVERY random idea seems more like desperation than progress. For this to ever be effective, they'll need to filter out the previously debunked nonsense.
They actually teach Engrish instead of English in Japanese public schools, which perpetuates the problem. Your anecdote is sadly one of so many... I forget her name, but there was a well-known native English foreign exchange student in Japan who had English class with them and the teacher would "correct" her English until she spoke Engrish....

From their website photos I'm guessing sizeof(micArray)/sizeof(micArray[0]) == 1.

Be sure to get the thermostat's consent before changing the set temperature. Not doing so may be more than just sexist...

Probably to check for ricin and anthrax.

Meh.
There are 1,008 in-state power plants in California, 2 of which are nuclear (though one of them is offline this year).
Are you just completely ignorant or what? Apparently you know how to use a computer but still haven't figured out Google yet.
Reading the summary, I thought: "Open the gate and let loose the quackery!"
Inviting EVERY random idea seems more like desperation than progress. For this to ever be effective, they'll need to filter out the previously debunked nonsense.
Is it really altruism if you're doing it because you figure you'll be dead before you suffer any ill effects? Seems clearly rational to me.
This message is encoded using the English alphabet, but it is not encrypted.

Except that there is a very slight pitch accent that can help distinguish ambiguous words like hashi and hana... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pitch_accent
But yes, it's infinitely more reliable if you rely on kanji instead.
Bzzzzzt! (That's my bullshit-buzzer). They don't read the bible. They go to church to have it read to them and interpreted for them.
