They claimed they needed to limit usage on their network, so they throttled users. What they forgot was the part where they're supposed to compensate the affected users for this.
All chemicals destined for the lab have insane warning labels. Buy some cleaned sand from a chemical supply company (used for filtration). It's off a beach somewhere but you'd think it was a bottle of plague-infested death shards. They just slap the same FUD warning label on everything just because it's going in a lab. You never know when something is contaminated by the reagent next to it on the shelf but it's still pretty over-the-top.
When wireless charging takes off this is exactly what's going to happen. Sony will have a standard, Apple will have a standard, and everything else will use the agreed on open standard.
I live in Alberta and we're having the same problem with this kind of derp in regards to WiFi and power lines. Is there a Canadian movement I can join against this nonsense? The only people that seem to be somewhat organized are the tinfoil hatters.
$250,000 is not big, even for some individuals around here. (I wish I were one of them) Simply being the worlds largest x doesn't mean it's all XTREME!!!
The comedy network website hosts the show in Canada. It is extremely difficult to find though. You have to type in Daily Show and Canada into a search engine. It is stupid that they have different websites for different countries but is it really that big of a deal in this case?
Informative? How about flamebait. This is simply not true. Absolutely insanely pure water is just water. Your body doesn't react to a 0.0001% difference in dissolved solids. After a microsecond in your mouth the water is far from pure.
Are you kidding? Really? I must know. I know people will go for oxygenated water and such so someone thinking that they can't drink pure water wouldn't surprise me. It'd upset me though to know there are such stupid people out there.
They can't simulate everything a real mission involves. I'm shocked. Remember that this is just research and practice. We have actual spaceflights to study the fear aspects, and the zero gravity. You just have to simulate what you can. I've flown certified flight simulators before and even though it didn't simulate real turbulence, or knowing that I could crash the plane and then go have lunch doesn't mean it wasn't valuable experience. Not being at real risk is the whole point.
Just how hard is it to put a radiation symbol right side up? What a good way to destroy the credibility of your journalism by implying that you've done so little research into this that you don't even know what the symbol for radiation is, let alone what radiation and radioactivity are.
The state of Apple in 10 years will be determined by many things, and imagining how things would have gone if Steve Jobs had survived is simply an exercise in religion. What would Steve do? What would Jesus do? How about looking at the real world instead.

The Real Job Threat
·
· Score: 1
Pay will only scale properly with productivity when you pay people based on output, regardless of how many hours they took. It's not as easy to manage because hours are so easy to count compared with actual output. People who do jobs quickly are often seen as not working hard, and those who struggle all day to do simple tasks are seen as workaholics, going above and beyond for the company. It drives me nuts.
Personally I don't want to go around the paywall. If I see a paywall, I don't want to visit the site. If they want me to go somewhere elso for my news then I'll go somewhere else for my news. I'm certainly not going to give them money when their site is already filled with ads.
Switch? I've been using it for a decade. I still love it when I'm showing somebody something on my computer and they watch me type. They look all confused. Wait a second, you didn't hit Ctrl-F!
I've been reading more about MSL in the last few hours and I see that it doesn't use solar panels. Good. Not removing dust from the MER's solar panels was a mistake in hindsight. No question. They designed for a 90 d mission, but the mission changed. If every system had started to fail at the 90 d mark it really would have sucked, and they'd use the same tired excuse of "but we designed strictly to the mission parameters." It costs a fortune to send these to Mars so longevity is crucial, and the power source is absolutely critical to the mission. Got to think ahead and plan for a future change in the mission requirements - even after you've landed the thing.
Please tell me they have a way of getting dust off the solar panels. Every time I read about dust buildup on Spirit and Opportunity's solar panels causing problems all I could think of was why didn't they install some type of simple vibration mechanism or air jet or any number of possible solutions.
Since everybody's doing firmware upgrades for devices such as mp3 players and optical drives it isn't a big shock that major chip makers are getting into it. I probably don't understand operating systems enough but I still have to ask why this isn't dealt with in driver updates? Anyway, doesn't look like a big deal to me and very few people are going to go through with this. I never saw anything that said you had to pay for this upgrade.
Great. So if I toss my phone to someone it'll react like it's going to hit the ground. And, in the unlikely event that it just deploys spontaneously I don't want an airbag up against my ear.

By explaining the joke to everyone you have made it much funnier. Keep up the good work.

No, that was the power button. They wanted to remove it because turning the device might expose users to a security risk.
This rate of change in the janitorial industry is unprecedented.

Only someone doped up on some serious drugs could come up with Tom Bombadil - the Jar Jar Binks of literature.
You are no disgrace.

Hopefully we can stop paying people hourly but rather by productivity.

When gasoline engines were invented the same arguments applied. Controlled explosions, OMG!!!! Give new technology some time to advance.
