I agree. Why put ypur stuff in an area prone to flooding and terrorist attack? Why not locate someplace like, I dunno, Kansas and have the benefit of an area that is way more stable than Manhattan. As long as the Wicked Witch of the West doesnt't come calling, you're fine. Even then, to my knowledge Kansas is not really prone to geophysical instability to prevent locating sub-surface.
No, that was where Picard PREVENTED the start of life, because he was jumping through Q's hoops, then he realized it and stopped the stuff that was making the anomaly.
Which is the fact that humans shouldn't be allowed to drive. Clearly they are too fallible.
I am a professional driver, which does not necessarily make me better than all of you, just the ones who do idiotic things (like pass me on a double yellow and cut me off to take an exit).
"We have access to virtually every kind of information. I found your name on the passenger list of the [plane] that crashed."
Arthur was astonished.
"You mean they knew about the crash?"
"Well, of course they knew. You don't have a whole [airplane disappear into the Atlantic] without someone knowing about it.'
"But you mean, they knew where it had happened? They knew I'd survived?'
"Yes."
"But nobody's ever been to look or search or rescue. There's been absolutely nothing."
"Well there wouldn't be. It's a whole complicated [airliner manufacturing] thing. They just bury the whole thing. Pretend it never happened. The [airliner] business is completely screwy now. You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for [airliner manufacturing] company directors?'
"Really?" said Arthur. "No I didn't. For what offence?'
Trillian frowned.
"What do you mean, offence?"
"I see."
I say that people are the problem. If people were courteous enough to follow the Stop Sign rule and not get angry and impatient then we would not need traffic lights. Traffic lights in turn cause the problem of the backups you just described, because of the lag of one driver hesitating and starting the positive feedback loop.

But anyway, if you're stupid enough to rob a bank or whatever and then update your facebook or twitter status "i just robbed a bank lol" then you deserve whats coming. I only bother with facebook about once every two weeks, and I find twitter to be absolutely useless.
Why not put one into an unmanned high orbit that will be stable for the next 500 years? Classify it as an orbiting Time Capsule. To be opened 2510. No quibbling over who gets it, etc etc.
Well, depends on the quality of the video. If we assume that video is 30 frames a second, that would make 30,000 words a second and 1,800,000 words a minute. A full length movie at this rate (assuming 1.5 hours) 162,000,000 words, plus dialog.
This is of course high-quality video, but its pretty amazing how quickly that adds up.
So what would happen if we used these superconductors as traces on say a motherboard?
Would it be faster/better?
We could just build it to put into a chest freezer. Also handy for cooling off the beer quickly.
So what TFA says is that electric trains are only green if the power is generated by non-fossil fuels. Take for example the Portland MAX, whose power is generated by wind farms. (at least they pay for their power to be generated by a wind farm.) This makes the MAX WAAAY green.

Am I the only one who finds it irritating that everyone is calling it "Superstorm Sandy"? It was a HURRICANE. Let's call it what it really was!

Isnt the new D1X building in Oregon going to be a 22nm fab? I'm pretty sure it is, but I cant remember

... How many are left? You cant crumple them unless it is over 85% of their customer base I'd say.

At least they aren't blaming Harry Potter for children converting to Wicca or trying to practice witchcraft, and that it is a tool of Satan.

...Like in 1986 when it took radiation alarms going off in fucking SWEDEN before they admitted that they had literally nuked a city or two...
You could just get a magical eye like Mad-Eye Moody....
Crybaby, cry, make your mother sigh...

If it's called Ruby on Rails, and this company is EngineYard, are they going to make program trains?!
I think it would also cause local geological disturbances (read: earthquakes etc) and is done too much, possibly affect plate tectonics as a whole.
should be the you-must-construct-additional-pylons department...

i take it nobody got the 2001 reference...pity.
Aren't there enough satellites up that we wouldn't need undersea cables anyway?
Thats it, I'm building a Faraday cage around my house. Try sniffing my emissions through THAT. Try hacking my wifi through THAT.
