It's not the bridge as much as the district that's running a deficit. The bridge tolls help to subsidize public transit (buses and ferries), so I imagine that's the reason they're losing money.
Not only that, but this paper seems to assume a fiber optic cable exists that runs straight from one exchange to the other. In reality, depending on where the relevant cables are and how the traffic is routed, a very different set of locations are optimal.
Yes, but the F1 car also costs many millions of dollars. I don't think it's as easy as you make it seem, especially for a car they want to sell for $20k.
Big advantages for me outside of isolating crashes:
1. Isolating misbehaving webpages from the rest of the browser. In Firefox, runaway Javascript on one tab can slow down or freeze other tabs or the whole browser.
2. Solve the memory leak from fragmentation problem. Closing tabs in Firefox often doesn't decrease the amount of memory consumed.
Agreed. They are working on multiprocess, it's called Electrolysis. It's very quiet, so I imagine they're behind schedule. It's also my impression that it's a very small team.
Amen. Life in the 50's and 60's was awesome. The Vietnam War was great. So was keeping blacks from voting, and women in the kitchen. McCarthyism, also wonderful.
Companies were so good then. Like the tobacco industry. They made such great products, and did so much for the community. No bullshit at all.
Or, you know, you could fill the freighter with cheap fertilizer and diesel, and run it into the Brooklyn Bridge or the Statue of Liberty. Why use such a complicated attack when a much simpler one is just as effective?
Not an expert, but from what I've seen (on shows like World's Toughest Fixes, etc.), modern steam turbines are very sensitive to impurities. Even the size of water droplets matters. Running seawater vapor through one would probably not work without a redesign.
The real question for me is, are these things less susceptible to gummi / jello fingers than 2D scanners? Seems like they would be equally susceptible, and therefore equally weak as a door lock.
It's not broken. Your certificate isn't signed by a trusted CA, so it isn't trustworthy. No user should ever encounter a self-signed certificate going to their bank, so the warning is flashy. Just confirm the exception and get on with your work.
If 9/11 has taught us anything, it's that a lot of damage can be done with very basic tools. It's a lot easier to have some guy with a truck-load of fertilizer park next to a substation than it is to find or train someone to hack into that power grid.
Sure, networks should be more secure, but there's almost always an easier way in meat-space.
All my underseas cable knowledge comes from Neal Stephenson's article, but I imagine there's quite a bit of slack built into these cables. They have to pull them to the surface to repair them, so there's at least enough for that.
High-speed rail lines are usually dedicated lines, with no grade crossings and better isolation. Certainly this is the case with the Shinkansen, not sure about the TGV. In any case, don't expect to be able to run other traffic on a high-speed line.

And where is Bell Labs now? Exactly.
The German project is for hand shredded papers. Reconstructing machine cross-cut shredded papers is a vastly more difficult problem.
Except that any router passing your packets might choose to re-fragment or recombine your packets, destroying your message.
Wholly metric, eh? What are your speed limits defined in? MPH. What do you report your weight in? Stone. What do you buy your beer in? Pints.
Sorry, until you've fully converted to metric your argument is a bit hollow.
He was already pretty rich when he left Microsoft and founded Valve with his own money.

Rose colored glasses much?
Yes, but the iPhone jailbreak: a PDF vulnerability that lead to arbitrary code execution. Preview.app may not be as safe as you think.
Please name the trend-setting new products created at Microsoft before Ballmer took the helm. I can only think of one: Microsoft Bob.

Print and web aren't the only two ways to get news. You may have heard of television and radio.
The last thirty years?
Ever heard of William Randolph Hearst? Yellow Journalism? The Spanish-American War? That's 1898.
Give me a break. Twas ever thus.

The Las Vegas Monorail is privately-owned. No tax dollars wasted.
