All appeals are paid for, SCO can sue until the SCOTUS tells them to get lost. Even if the bankruptcy court now moves them to chapter 7, some mystery buyer can still pay $1 for the rights to the lawsuit, and pursue it as successor in interest. The fat lady is hoarse from all the singing she's done in this case.
It really has to hurry up to do that, 100 ps doesn't give you much time to do anything. Plus,with energy in greater energy out, you can't get a bigger explosion than the one you created to create the particles to begin with.
In case the annihilation of two strange atoms should destroy earth, please give yourself a Noble price on the way out.
As someone who's been playing a PvE MMO at the high level for close to 10 years, I wonder why all the PvP games out there have come and gone, each attracting THE CROWD to see it walk away due to perceived imbalances. The nice thing about a well made PvE game is that nearly everyone gets to contribute, so figuring out a raid with your 50 closest buddies over months usually takes more attention span that you can get from the average high school kid. PvE nearly always has a "flavor of the month", so you're never really happy with your class/spec/faction.
Unfortunately, the right to demand a jury trial is with BOTH the plaintiff and the defendant. All the defendant can hope for is to succeed with a summary judgement motion to dismiss, but if the judge finds that there's a chance that there is something like electromagnetic allergy, that's a disputed fact to be decided by a jury if requested.
Having tried to break down the material in the 787, I can tell you that's one tough material. Compared to the 1/8th inch thick aluminum most planes are made off, I think it's a step in the right direction. And since the wings didn't fall off in flight it looks like they got the issues with the wingbox figured out by now.
Not to mention the possibility of mischief, as easily as I can sign as Mickey Mouse on the ballot I can have the head of the local ACLU chapter sign the pro-death penalty petition and the Baptist minister the pro-gay rights one.
Unfortunately, we can't check the fine print on the unknown retailers website. They might have a "we publish all reviews unless they contain unverified claims that expose us to liability for publishing them" clause, allowing them to pull all negative posts unless they come with a signed statement by the manufacturer verifying the problem. Retail ratings are highly open to astroturfing and slandering the competition, so I can see where a company might just take out all negative reviews to be on the safe site.
It also makes sense from a business point of view, you might be on their site buying product A because they have the best price, but the alternative product B is the daily special at Newegg, and they lose the sale if you don't buy A based on a bad review.
It's a great finding, but unfortunately, making nanotubes is a HIGHLY energy intensive process, and you will still need some form of substrate to connect these - most likely silicone. To really utilize this effect they have to find that you can get the effect from a macroscopic sheet of woven or non-woven CNTs, or they have to learn how to grow the tubes from one electrode to the other, which isn't trivial.
It's a MS Product. It will be hacked and jailbroken by the time the product introduction presentation is over, just because it's there. At that point, MS will see the advantages of getting some cut from an app store compared to getting nothing from freely available downloads. I'd expect the ZuneHD1.1 before the Xmas rush.
I fail to see the novelty of this, it's another little incremental improvement in AFM resulution. They were able to image benzene rings with AFM 20 years ago; I remember in grad school one of the guys showing a video of them actually making a lot of substituted rings rearrange their layers on command, like a row of soldiers.
There was that beautiful standard model of a big bang. Then we learned about galactic rotation, and added dark matter. Then we learned about expansion, and tossed in inflation and dark energy. Then we learned about the missing gravity waves. What will we add next?
The difference is - Autobahn and inspections. Few German cars of the time made it much past 100k miles due to the tough inspections making continued maintenance uneconomical. And every car driven at 75 mph max should get to 200k.
Little anecdote to the German diesel engines: The reason diesels were so popular at the time in Germany (leading to better technology due to large demand) as the right of agricultural businesses to buy untaxed diesel for "stationary engine purposes". Every farm had its little diesel pump, which naturally was used to fill the diesel car as well as the legitimate generators etc.
This clientele was also more interested in longevity, not power, leading to the infamous 200D Mercedes diesels of that era, which were gutless to the extreme, compared to the gasoline versions. I can confirm the longevity, I went through college in a Rabbit diesel, bought at 100k miles, sold at 150k miles, and it was still running at 180k miles when I last heard about it.
Naturally, to get to the dimensions of current electronics, you'd have to come up with a way to put down an optical fiber using some form of deposition effect, and then figure out how to couple your wave efficiently into the fiber, and convert it back at the destination. Followed by the problem of still being limited by light speed which lets your signal propagate about 6 cm per cycle on a 5 GHz chip. What quickly brings you back to a high speed fiber optical network to transmit large amounts of data, but not to a faster chip which has to rapidly exchange small strings of data preferable in a symmetric fashion.
I thought a monthly company bbq, with the HDs added to the coals after the wieners are done, would be a cost efficient AND popular disposal method. For extra bang, drop the hot drives into cold water.
In Soviet Union, you are being walked away....
All this assumes the authors voluntarily left the network alone, it's also quite feasible that one of the 5 million "pwned" took decisive action, or that they just got pulled over with 2 pounds of weed and are taking an extended state sponsored vacation.
Odd, the article would be much more fitting if it would ask for the end of LaTex, since the best part of LaTex was making beautiful printed documents. Word per se can't hold a candle in that respect, but the whole office suite, with the ability to have integrated excel parts to edit a graph on the fly, and then powerpoint the essentials, is pretty unbeatable as a package. As for the old "it's too expensive" argument, the real cost is in support and training, not in initial licensing cost. As such, converting a MS shop into an OO shop is just as expensive as keeping MS and buying upgrades every 5 - 10 years.
Personally I'm holding back on putting the 100k down on the Tesla 2020 with 220 cylinder fusion engine. But I wouldn't claim a University of Wikipedia education to condemn a new idea; I wouldn't want to make a statement on the workability without a Ph.D. in high energy physics myself. Compared to the billions spent on the confined plasma schemes, pulse set-ups are cheap to implement and see if you get excess neutrons or not. The one thing we learned from the cold fusion disaster, the claims don't last long if looked at seriously.
I thought that's the beauty of open source, everyone can make their own public branches, and the users are free to adopt whichever they choose. In contrast to us MS drones, who have all the choices in the world, as long as it's black. And this from a guy who once was happy getting a box of 20 Windows Me licenses, at least all of his machines were now running the same crap.
Flashback to 1985...
I never got to the last level (probably because missions were broken in my version), and we even shared one character in the end to get more playtime on one toon.
The other series I'd like to see again would be Panzergeneral. I liked turn-based games, less stress, more challenge.
For every developer trying to make dynamic content one way there's 10,000 users with other ideas. Unless the "dynamic" is highly limited, users WILL find a way to send it of course. Best example, EQ's Sleeper. Unkillable mob, only awakens once per server, 100 times the hitpoints of a normal boss, death touches players. No way to kill, unless of course you get 300 people with 8 h of time to just grind it out. The first developer to notice what was going on reset the event at 5% because the players HAD to be cheating (they allowed it later).
Actually, your typical soda bottle IS recycled back into bottles, the PET it's made from is much to expensive to not reclaim.
For someone in the recycling industry, electronics recycling has become politically desirable but economically it's gone down the drain. When we started investigating reclamation of material from electronics in the early nineties, most of the electronics were literal gold mines, after evaporating off the plastic and separating off the metals you had a sand with 1% gold in some cases. That process paid for itself and was profitable if you got the scale, without dumping fees. Nowadays, the precious metal content has dropped so far to require dumping fees to make it work, and that only if you don't live in CA (where you can't do it period due to environmental regulations).
What you see today is mainly recovery of the metal content, and the rest gets dumped into the landfill, or is "stored" until the right technology becomes available (or better until someone pays you to make the pile of scrap disappear).

Finland was part of Russia until 1917, he might also decent a Finnish emigrant from Russia.
