Yeah, with a little elbow grease and a 4600 pound, 4 kilowatt magnet. Which most of us have lying around at home. Beat your SUV into a core and wrap all the cable from your speaker system around it, and there you go, two tonne multi-kilowatt magnet.
If memory serves power dissipation has a formula on the order of I2R, I being current in amps and R being resistance in ohms. So, if you had a chip that ran on 1,000 volts at 30ma instead of the usual 1 volt and ~30 amps wouldn't it be just as efficient as a 0.3volt chip running at (and I'm guessing here because tfa doesn't mention current) 1 amp or maybe even less?
It comes with the territory. If you are a cop people will be more likely to see you with fear and disdain. They will be more likely to slander you. They will probably act aggressively towards you. That's why you get a bullet-resistant vest, a gun, and, among other things, benefits galore. It doesn't make up for it, but it's what you signed up for, and if you can't take it you can take your skillset elsewhere.
Being a, "robot" in most circles doesn't require autonomy. In common usage the term has grown to include automata, remote-control devices, and anything that can appear to operate in a robotic capacity.
Just ask the right linux users. Pretty much everyone I know games to some degree. Methinks this is just a slashvertisment probing for a sensitive issue to encompass.
I've seen a few simillar systems in nearby municipalities and they most certianly do have someone watching the monitors 24/7. It's even a service from the local security companies to have your home cameras added to the monitor bank. I'm pretty sure they'll do the same thing here, if only to make people feel their tax dollars are at work. It doesnt seem reasonable to expend the resources to put in a surveillance system only to not look at it.
Since you're redesigning the system so that it only functions with approval from HQ, could you also set it up to blur the features of students who's parents haven't filled out the appropriate release forms? I'm think a lot of parents, given the choice, wouldn't want their children getting that sort of extra attention in school.
TFA doesn't once mention recording. Wouldn't that mean that the video isn't admissable as evidence and thus, unless the crime's still being perpetrated when the police get there, useless for most situations?
Which bible were you reading? The interpretations I've read say that as long as you know you're sinning it's a sin. In the case of using proprietary software I'd go one further. As long as you're causing the proprietor to profit it is a sin. Whether you wish him to profit or not has no bearing upon whether or not he actually profits if you've already given him your money.
Do you realize how hard it would be to wait on that line without once thinking about how to defeat the, "security" in place or the possible results? Worse yet they could give this technology to traffic cops...
You're thinking of the warp scale. The richter scale goes up past ten, it's just that, being a logarithmic scale, getting up to and beyond ten would require energy on a scale not often discussed outside of astronomy or science fiction.
I'd guess the same thing that happens when any other lane of traffice is closed by a disabled vehicle: people will get annoyed. If you open the shoulder up to traffic it won't be like it is now with one or two morons doing 90 on it while everybody else clucks their collective tongue and waits for aforementioned morons to smack the guard rail. The new lane will receive its share of traffic plodding along at the same pace as all the others. That pace will just be a little tiny bit faster.
It's a good idea on paper, but it would only work if each individual teacher - or at least the principal who reviewed his/her lesson plan - was capable of determining what is and isn't scientific.
The govt. would benefit from an ignorant unproductive populace. The only people who'd benefit from an informed productive populace would be said populace... and everybody outside of Iran.

That's the first time that's ever made sense to me. That's gottah count for something.
Maybe so, but it weren't broke until Google, "fixed" it.

Indeed, Is or will there be a 2:53:58 am in the evening? (oh, and it should be 2:6:53.58 in the morning)
I would think that they'd be sitting their cackling madly, "We will soon have a patent on that..."

1997 called, it wants its caveat back.

Apple's greatest virtue is that it's not microsoft. It doesn't have any other ethical merit I'm aware of, but for many people that's enough.

Rule #7: A thing with a smaller version of itself is cute.
That's the theory. Most of the debris is low enough its orbits will decay, but the leftover stuff would form a ring as time approached infinity.

I dunno, did it look like it was about to go nova any time in the near future 6500 years ago?

Well, it's an understandable mistake. They're, "Breaking" the flow of traffic, after all.
