Well, there's always the Planck length, as as the ultimate size limitation.
Unless we find out a way of storing stuff on a place directly accesible but not physically close in 3d space. Either by new means of comunication or by new means of accessing an additional dimension.
Specifically, four of the patents - 521,015, D522,011, D547,763 and D581,422 - relate to "portions of a gaming controller", another two, D563,480 and D565,668 cover a "portion of a gaming input device having an illuminated region"
the infringement of four of its patents for Xbox game controllers.
I've used Composition C4 many of times in my Army career. I know first hand that you can drop, bump, hammer, shoot, and light on fire an M112 block of C4 without detonation.
First hand?
You dropped, bumped, hammered, shot and lit a C4 block?
But almost all of the "lost" warheads from USAF are in the ocean, where they can do no harm.
Well, as other people are already addressing the possibility of a terrorist organization finding and activating the lost warheads I'll just comment on another, even more dangerous, possibility.
it's not the tobacco since a lot of smart people smoke cigars. it's the extras like uranium, polonium and hundreds of other chemicals that the tobacco companies spray on cigarretes that are really bad for you
And it's not just a health problem. Enemy countries are actively buying American tobacco to extract the uranium to make explosive devices with it.
And, even knowing that, tobacco companies continue to use the uranium aditives because they don't want to lose the massive sells to those enemy countries.
If I were to fight the "dangers" an unsupervised 9 year old can find on the web I'd clearly start by how he uses a particular function in a particular website./sarcasm
It's frightening to think that someone can publicly say such idiocies and journalists (or whoever hears him first) won't directly laugh in his face and call him names.
The aliens were the ships. What we thought were the aliens were the ship's parasites. Having discovered a planet that cleans them of parasites, the aliens come en masse to be cleaned. The earth fight endless "alien" hordes, never understanding we've become a galactic "spa" for the aliens.
Independence Day 3:
The aliens finally aknowledge the existance of the parasite cleaners who call themselves "hunams". They decide that the "hunams" are Earth's parasites and, fearing contagion, declare the solar system a bio-hazard zone and nuke it from galactical orbit.
We'd probably do a better job in reducing "dangerousness" by making the penalty for repeated speeding and reckless driving something more serious than it is. Maybe death
Doesn't work.
The penalty for driving drunk is often death and some people don't seem to mind much.
Your options have some problems. But don't worry, I have the solution for all of them.
A - As it is right now, your vote won't change anything: To make your vote count, kill everyone else. B - You don't have enough money to run for office: Steal some millions of dollars. C - They're more than you, to quench your rebellion: See A.
There can be two types of people. The math nerd (high math skills), and the programming geek. A combination of these would be great, but, who do you think would make it in the LONG RUN?
...wherein one or more motions meet, exceeds or else, none or more thresholds; sensing some, or no, motion of said device or a different one in a direction to another direction.

That reply is a dupe. We saw it at 06:02PM.

So it's more like 2.5D, I still feel ripped off!
I suggest not watching Fury of Titans on a 3D cinema, then.

I read that as "MS and Apple rumble into the middle ages".
I did have time to imagine computer managed fortresses, before reading the rest of the news.
Yes, it was a sad disappointment.
That's actually very easy, and happens naturally all the time. [...] Fusing atoms, now that's difficult.
Yeah, we all know fusion never happens naturally.
You'd need like a ridiculously hot place.
And a lot of distance safety rules, which boil down to if you're not walking far enough to get sweaty, its probably not safe enough.
Which, in Slashdot terms, means you can pretty much survive any detonation at about ten paces.

That sounds like an amazing drinking game.
Oh, well if Nature does it, it must be easy.
And healthy!
Try our new, 100% natural, splitting uranium body lotion!

I always thought Time was the 4th dimension...
I always thought the 4th dimension was ROCK!
But I guess time is ok too.
Or PASTA!
Ok, ok. Time's fine.
and somehow Neo's got to be able to take the stand in order to expose the truth
I don't think we're talking about the same Neo.
Leave it at "...and somehow Neo's got to be able to stand".
You know, for inanimate objects, standing is already quite a feat.
P.S.: I was going to suggest "...be able to transmit some information". But that could be solved by writing on his face.

A page must be created right now to prepare the bets and polls on which page will be blocked first.
One wonders how much BMW paid to have "the Mini Cooper" used to describe this thing... :)
Two libraries of Congress.
And a ping-pong ball.
DWARF FORTRESS!
To both your friends.
All else is inferior gaming.

/. is starting to resemble Digg more and more every day.
Man, you truly must be the last person on earth to learn they merged more than four months ago already.
You did doubt for a second, didn't you?
Can I make a phone call with it yet?
That's exactly what I asked when they tried to sell me those new extra light italian leather shoes.
do I have the level of understanding with all of Kelper's Laws and bits to change them to what I want for my game? Nope.
You needed to change that bit for your game?

The first who marries the CEO's daughter.
