I'd like to see this system implemented in The States. It basically circumvents the school yard bully from stealing lunch money from would-be victims.
When I was bullied, my lunch money was never the target. It was always my pride they were after. Teach your kid to have pride that's not dependent on the views of others and suddenly bullies stop being a problem.
I love seeing these breakthroughs! But it's time to start making some jumps in the real world applications. I would pay $5k right now to get get rid of my presbyopia and myopia, hell, maybe even $10k if I had a guarantee of 20-30 yrs (free updates).
When the medical industry has a product that's along the lines of "Take this if you want to live" It's generally $10k per year after their marketing and product development gets hold of it. Take a look at AZT in the 1980s for example.
Since HP is apparently paying every tech news site include Slashdot not to mention their recent court ruling, I'll just leave this here:
"Hewlett-Packard and three subsidiaries pleaded guilty Thursday to paying bribes to foreign officials in Russia, Mexico and Poland and agreed to pay $108 million in criminal and regulatory penalties. For over 10 years Hewlett-Packard kept 2 sets of books to track slush-funds they used to bribe government officials for favorable contracts."
I agree with you. And given that they're making a card game all they need for a working prototype is a printer. I don't see what the problem is. In fact, there are plenty of websites you can go to and have professional cards/boards, etc made... One example I've used: https://www.thegamecrafter.com...
If you don't have any sort of demo, you haven't put in enough work to get my money.
So two stations that were previously using 6 MHz bandwidth each, will now share one channel, presumably using 3 MHz each.... and so each will have a 50% drop in picture quality. How is this a good thing for the consumer?
Unplug your DSL router/Cable modem over night. Someone else should get your IP in that time and you should get a new one when you wake up and turn it back on. Unless you have a static IP, in which case this is a terrible idea.
It's a bad sign when these types of reports no longer invoke any sort of shock. It's a part of "Americana" now.
I'm shocked every time.
People choose apathy as a defense mechanism. "I always knew the government was doing this." "This is what I told you all along" etc... You predicted it so it's not so bad? Screw that, this is shameful and a sad point in American history. It's sad that the people doing this don't even realize future generations will look back on them like we now look back on McCarthy, Stalin, Nixon, etc... They bring shame on themselves and our country.
Nice job linking to an "Blog" that was quite literally cut and pasted from a legit article: phys.org/news/2014-09-solid-previously-unsolvable-problems.html
Expect the one posted here to get a DMCA request in short order. Looking at their other "Blogs" it appears this entire site is nothing but cut and pasted stories from various science sites.
So what? Crazy people do crazy stuff... Get him some psychological help. I don't see this as something you should be put in prison for. There is very little that you can do online that I'd say is worthy of jail time. Maybe if you hacked a reactor or something...
Just about everything that is bad for you today is being negated a few years later. Can't find the link today, but at one point "research" showed that jeans were responsible for higher risk of cancer. So I will just continue to live my life and enjoy it to the fullest. If something kills me, at least I had a good time.
You're not reading research. You're reading news articles. There are unscrupulous "journalists" out there that spend all day scanning research journals for studies they can turn into shocking stories to get clicks.
The author of this article is Mandy Oaklander. Could she possibly be one of these bad journalists? I don't know... Lets look at the titles of her other articles and find out: The Link Between Sunny Days and Suicide Eating Fish May Save Your Hearing Prediabetes Increases Cancer Risk By 15% Sleeping On Animal Fur Can Lower Asthma Risk Your Home Is Covered In Bacteria How Instant Noodles Can Hurt Your Heart ...certainly seems alarmist and ridiculous to me.
There are decades of research that have gone into linking salt to high blood pressure. Could that be wrong? Sure... but this is one study, by one group. Give it a year before you start downing bags full of pretzels.
If you doubt the scientific consensus on climate change at this point you're just an ideolog that will argue your political point until the house burns down around you.
It is getting warmer. Man is responsible. We can't do anything about it. The last point is just as much of a fact as the first two. So you better start living in the real world, rather than the fantasy world you seem to inhabit.
We can do something about it. Many would like you to believe that it's this vast incurable problem. You can't expect everyone in America to stop driving or buy new cars overnight. I used to think that to. But the majority of the worlds pollution comes from Power plants and Shipping. There are only a few dozen huge container ships in the world that are producing more pollution than all the cars combine. We could build more nuclear power plants while we wait for Solar to mature. We could force those transport vessels to use cleaner fuels. They could do that without modification even!
There are, in fact, things we could do. So lets do them.
Yes! All that record breaking cold and snow this summer currently being reported by The Weather Channel is a myth. They just made it up. It can't be snowing its still summer.
That's a foolish example. This is about a change in the climate, not about local weather patterns. Global CO2 rise will affect the planet Globally by increasing temperature. In your home town it might get colder, in sothern Africa it might get hotter. The point is that the climate is changing because of our activity. Predicting how the climate will change in Charleston on January 28th as a result is nearly impossible. Predicting how it will change Globally over a period of 10yrs as a result isn't all that hard.
It's like in my job. We've got records that come in and go. We hire 20% more people... how many more records will we have next Tuesday because of those employees? I've no idea... How many more tickets will we have on average over the next year? 20% See the difference?
Well, RT is about as reliable as Fox News. If you assume that everything said is complete lies and the few things that are true are extremely skewed then you are pretty close to the truth. With that said, the US embargo against Cuba has not exactly been beneficial to either of the nations. All this time since the cold war could have been spent bringing Cuba closer to the US. Just opening up a bit with regards to trading would have done a lot. A better Cuban economy would benefit the US (How about cheap manufacturing on Cuba instead of in China?) and having a trading partner that close instead of a potential enemy there is a pretty nice deal. In my opinion the stance US has towards Cuba is pretty retarded.
Yea, no... Fox news is an independent news outlet that plays to a point of view held by a large number of Americans. They tell people what they want to hear. Which is bad but...
RT is controlled directly by Putin. It's a propaganda outlet and designed to tell people what Putin wants them to hear. That's entirely different. A good US example would be Voice of America. That's our state owned propaganda network.
"Astronomers can calculate quite accurately how much lithium they expect to find in the early Universe," can they? How do they know it's accurate? What control values are they using?
It's not entirely semantic, either; it goes on to say, "But the numbers don't match."
So how is that "quite accurate"?
You're being a pedant.
Let me rephrase for you: Using our current model of the big bang, scientists come up with 3x as much lithium as is measured. Therefor the model likely needs adjusting or there is something about the post big-bang that we do not quite understand.
By accurate they mean this measurement directly contradicts the model. There is no way for an error in the calculation to account for the difference.

No, its about teachers having no friggen clue what their job is. What better life lesson is there than "Lose your money, you don't eat."?
So, what you're saying is, Lucas is making the new Star Trek films?

Really? Not in the visual cortex of the brain? It's actually done in the retina itself?
That's the point they were making, yes.
I'm starting to see why they didn't meet their kickstarter goals... lol

When I click the link about the ruling I get taken to an article about Wire-Free laptops...
Someone should support the courts technical support. They HAVE to respond after all.
In practice, the regulars are such pretentious dicks everyone else leaves and all the channels are now ghost towns.

Perhaps this was all intentional... "Use the surface, just make sure they call it an iPad!"

Bury: place (a dead body) in the earth, in a tomb, or in the sea, typically with funeral rites.

So you used dishonest sales tactics, and then got angry when someone called you on it? Cry me a river.
