most office drones don't have a clue about proper data management.
I used to have the same rant until I realized the office drone thing was the cure, not the problem. Ignorance is bliss. Seriously, how many times do you have to see an Access database go down in flames before you say maybe spreadsheets aren't so bad after all. Of course now I'm sitting at my desk waiting for the boss to complain that his system is low on resources now that he has merged all his spreadsheets for the last 5 years. This may be a sequel to the BOFH !
Lots of people use recycle bins, then the county's budget gets cut and they throw the stuff in the landfill anyway. Individuals are smart. Crowds are dumb.
17,000 patents should even things out enough to force the big players to negotiate and co-operate
The advent of IPv6 allows the requisite number of phone home patent chips to allow auto-negotiation of any lawsuits that may come about from now on. But to limit the number of complaints about patents on Slashdot, I suggest we set an arbitrary limit on the number of patents allowed to exist at any one time. I think 640K ought to be enough for everybody.
Apparently, neither do you.
Because her salary is 2x her boss. Which is my point. If she had a clue she could learn from her boss, so could a lot of Americans.
Exec's don't switch to $1 till their pension/social security requirements have been met and their stocks start paying dividends. Ask Warren Buffetts secretary what part she doesn't understand.
The equinox happens twice a year and refers to the exact time when the sun crosses the celestial equator, causing day and night to be of equal length.
It has nothing to do with global warming
3 extra years warranty 2/5. So you would expect to pay 40% more.
2 extra years warranty 3/5. So you would expect to pay 60% more.
So if you were just buying a warranty alone the price would be worth it especially since the summary states you're only paying 30%-40% more. Add the fact that your buying from a top quality manufacturer is just icing on the cake. Note the fact that HDD manfs have cut their standard warranty to 1 year, should show you what crap they are producing these days. Swapping hardware takes minutes, restoring data takes lots of hours.
Oh, did I neglect to mention photobiology/optoelectronic R&D is my job?
Yes, you did. Then you realize this process the article describes is about as sensible as manufacturing vitamin D by extracting it from Humans standing in sunlight (regular or otherwise). I'll take your figures for the efficiency since your the expert, but -
The article quotes "electrical power density of 81uW/cm2". If they doubled the efficiency it still wouldn't be worth it. Did I neglect to mention I can do math?
If you consider times scales, I don't think that is likely at all. We pretty much know how to make a space wheel now. Gene manipulation to that degree is a hundred years away. My observation still stands - Humans tend to change their environment rather than adapt to it. Although I concede in 100 years that may change radically.
I'm not sure what percentage of the time the crew would need to wear these suits to prevent atrophy. I am sure it will be more than they are willing to put up with. We are going to have to come up with solutions on a much grander scale to change the environment, not adapt to it. It's how we humans have taken over the planet and how we will take over space. But we won't do it till we spend a lot more time on earth doing the grunt work (engineering and thinking) instead of spending billions on half baked manned missions to nowhere worthwhile.
Observe him doing what? Killing people? Damn! I knew that was gonna happen! Saying your going to kill someone is a crime. Saying your going to kill someone and possessing a written plan to carry it out is a more serious crime - Besides, being stupid in the commission of a crime, should carry an additional penalty.

NONE. I know no one reads the articles anymore, didn't you read the headline?
We have that. We call them nations. They don't play well together for any length of time.
In this nation we obey the second law of thermodynamics.
Now get off my lawn - (i'm getting cold standing here yelling at you)
hence the ice. thanks captain.
FTFY.
Please see if you can fog a mirror before you type, otherwise it appears as gibberish.
He meant "they"
I dunno, I guess I could start by reading the article. (It has pictures too)
is too important to be left to chance."

Only if people stop burying it in landfills.
OTOH Most of what we know about ancient people is by digging through their trash.

If I were them ...
If they were you, I suppose they would sit around all night and post on Slashdot. ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Facebook.

they don't use meta moderation?
ok so my math sucks- bit you know what i meant.
