It seems that not only the bands, but the managers of the bands want the music to be heard through any means, with a chance of being bought; rather than going through the normal channels. The RIAA is being fought from the inside and out!
I see what you did there...
Except when trolling you should not use a insult that is in the motto of the site.
I am pretty sure that getting modded funny does not affect karma. (I maybe wrong)
The 'self-healing' rubber will not as strong as regular rubber, due to the fact, as you pointed out, that they are removing the ionic and covalent bonding between the molecules. The summary of this article is very bad though... It makes it out that they have removed all covalent and ionic bonding although that can not be the case, because that is what makes up a molecule and distinguishes it from other materials. The must have made the rubber in such a way that the molecules do not bond together making poly-molecules (as in PVC which turns vinyl chloride from a material that has no strength as a gas, into the very useful material we are all familiar with) but rather individual molecules that have many hydrogen dipoles that make it stick together. The effect is very similar to water, which has has a good bit of hydrogen bonding going on and keep water as a liquid up to 100 degrees celsius when many other molecules that size will be gases even at extremely low temperatures. Hydrogen bonding is very easily broken and reformed, partly do to how weak it is in comparison to other forms of bonding, but it works very well for this type of application.
In a free-market world with supply and demand determining costs, it makes sense that digital information that is in infinite supply will cost nothing. The things that are listed in TFA are things that can not be distributed infinitely and thus help guide artists and software providers toward adding valuable content that customers will pay for. Maybe sometime soon we will see less lawsuits and more content.
Colonel Campbell: You have to insert the three different PAL cards to disable Metal Gear, Snake.
Snake: But I only have one card.
Otacon: Its a temperature based mechanism, you have to insert the card at room temperature, and at a hot and a cold temperature.
Snake: How does that help secure Metal Gear?
Otacon: Don't you read slashdot? Newb...
There are indeed some advantages to direct current. Most electronics use direct current and have to convert from ac to dc between the device and the outlet, this causes some inefficiencies. The main problem with dc current is that it can not be transmitted over long distances without a lot of power loss, which is why our grid is in ac, despite the fact that everything runs on dc. If you had an in-house generator then dc power might be the way to go.
If using unsecured wifi without permission is illegal, then the law is completely unenforceable. In modern residential areas it is not uncommon to be able to access around 10 connections, many of which are unsecured. Regular people do not care which access point they are connected to. Computers will usually pick the strongest unsecured signal (barring that the computer in question is not defaulted to the owner's wifi) making many homeowners in neighborhoods accidentally break the law. Laws like this need to be better examined before the are enacted.
watch out for people. Keep an eye on your fellow Americans and do your duty to the Government. Do not trust anyone, not even your loved ones! In fact, the terrorists will probably dress up like someone you love, just to make it worse when they kill you. They are everywhere, they even play baseball. Do your part and report non-baseball activities to your local authorities right away.
'Solid state pretty much puts hybrid in an obsolete class right now.' Call me when either the capacity or price of solid state drives comes close with those obsolete drives, then we will compare...
The article make the assumption that everything is moving from a local desktop computer on to the internet. It is the same with all of those webOS people. There is a time and place for both local and remote services on computers. The WGA has to be remote because windows is cracked so easily on a local scale (not that WGA poses to much of an obstacle). Things like google documents is useful for having a decentralized work environment for papers and makes collaboration easy. However, that does not make office suites extinct...it is simple another option; and since when are more options a bad thing?
From the Article...
"When we went to high school, we majored in boys," I just wish we could all just go back to the well rounded American education in one simple gender. These kids have to be kids while they can; then decide to learn about more genders when they are good and ready.

Sounds like they are launching a new apple product to bring fine design into your death experience.
my comment is both here and not here simutaniously?

How dare they use my user id in this manner!
It sounds just like slashdot...
only with professional editing.
Organic molecules are typically defined as any carbon compound that is not CO2.
Things such as methane (CH4) are organic molecules.

for the unfortunate translations of the Epic of Gilgamesh that rival the hilarity of the google translation of the japanese amazon site.
What is next, an animated goatse reminding us of the horrors that are to be found on the internet?
