"Because finding thousands of suitable sites is easy." The find millions of suitable sites for Power poles and Cable TV boxes. I think they will have zero problems with this.
You think the dock is cluttered but the Windows task-bar is the epitome of awesome? what drugs are you taking? The Windows and all linux variants of the taskbar is a cluster turd of clutter. Yes the Dock is cluttered a bit, but no where near as cluttered as the mess that windows and Linux has going on.
" hydrogen pretty much spontaneously combusts in air, and does so rather explosively. "
Where did you get your chemistry education from? Because I want to go and smack your instructor really hard in the nuts.
Hydrogen takes a large amount of added energy to combine with oxygen to create an exothermic reaction (yes kids, a match is a LOT of energy). Saying that it will start spontaneous combustion with air is Todd Akin levels of stupidity.
Large scale is very dumb. Make 25KW units and put thousands of them across the city. Cheaper, easier, and reliability of the grid goes up dramatically.
Some of his designs are scary dangerous. I saw his 80mpg pontiac fiero, heating the gasoline that hot is insanely dangerous. It works but jeebus man that is some really scary tech considering how half assed low quality they build cars now days.
" Some, though, have called the carrier a 21st-century version of a battleship — high on looks and weapons but vulnerable to modern weapons."
Sorry but battleships like the IOWA are immune to all modern weapons other than a space based particle beam or a Nuclear weapon. Even the most feared" Exocet missile will do no damage to the IOWA and it's almost 13 inch thick steel armor.
"The Iowas' armor scheme was modeled on that of the preceding South Dakota class, and designed to give a zone of immunity against fire from 16-inch/45-caliber guns between 18,000 and 30,000 yards (16,000 and 27,000 m) away. The magazines and engine rooms were protected by an armored belt 12.2 inches (310 mm) thick, which sloped to give an effective vertical thickness of 13.5 inches (340 mm). Their armor was not sufficient to protect against guns equivalent to their own 16-inch/50-caliber guns" What is shot out of the big guns is far FAR more powerful than any anti ship missle in the US or any other fleet's armory.
Upgrade a battleship with modern anti aircraft systems and a single IOWA class battleship would utterly destroy most nations entire navy fleet before it was taken down. Unless Japan brings back the Yamato, that one was HUGE with 46cm guns that was basically shooting a school bus full of explosives at the enemy.
Honestly, if the real core of Slashdot still existed, they could fork and probably retain 50% of the membership. I'm betting they all have "non compete" clauses that were attached to a hefty payout though....
I work for people that will pay $23,000 for a TV set. They paid $19,000 for their 12 room whole house audio amp. I am guessing that the author of the article is some young kid that knows nothing at all about electronics in general and is far too young to realize there is a HUGE market for very high end anything. Look up the price for a Sub-Zero fridge or a Viking Range some time to find out what rich people are buying. One of my clients has a $6500 gas grill on his deck.
a $900 64gig 3G iPad is nothing to them. The Crestron Remote I just sold them for their living room AV gear was $1100.00
This right here shows you to be a complete and utter liar. Please make your decisions based on facts and not the made up bullshit that comes out og Rush Limbaughs face anus,.
Otterbox case and save the $9.99 a month in a savings account, oh and being responsible and not breaking my phone or being dumb and putting it in my back pocket.
"Regardless, cultural norms (and quasi-taboos) that we broadly hold today would be challenged. Sustaining a village of 300-800 mixed age individuals in frontier conditions is vastly different than growing an outpost for a couple dozen adult professional pioneers from a modular deployment.
Fundamental values... the essence of law itself would be unlike anything we know in civil society today."
most of those "cultural norms and taboos" are not from people or science, but from religion. Hell it spills over today into other religions. Talk to any pagans and you will find that most are against poly and are stout monogamous. Why are they adopting a catholic requirement? It's not a christian one, and certainly not a Pagan one, the bible says a man can have many wives, it was the early catholic church that put a stop to that.
Just be sure to not bring along the more controlling and hateful religions or any of it's teachings, and I think a remote colony would do just fine.
"That doesn't seem quite right. Like if I jump up and down enough, regularly, while flapping my arms, eventually things will work out and I'll fly? No, there are things missing there that time and repetition won't solve."
Yet it does not stop the fools that believe that "trickle down" economics will save us all.
Cheap is not the issue. each satellite launch can cost $90 bajillion dollars, but if it will turn a handsome profit, they will be launched. You think that DISH and SIRIUS/XM put their birds up there because they were told how cheap it was?
If we spent only 10% of the Military budget on NASA, we would see most of science fiction become a reality within only 2 generations (If physics plays nicely) Instead we dont even spend the amount of money used by the military to air condition tents on NASA. We value killing people far more than advancing technology.
and if the phones allowed ad-blocking, your data use will drop significantly.
I'm fine with ad's in a unlimited ecosystem. but in a bandwidth limited, receiver pays, system? Screw all ad's. It's why I jailbroke my iphone and installed an ad blocker, and my android phone also had ad blocking added to it.
iPhone 5 us usb 3.0 usb 3.0 DOES NOT HAVE A STANDARD MINI CONNECTOR.
Or would you rather they made it a slow turd like all the phones with usb 2.0 I certianly dont want a super slow usb 2.0 to copy my 64 gig of video and audio files over. or to extract the video recorded at 1080p.
The next google Nexus phone will not have a mini usb connector on it, will you go all frothing at the mouth at google?
The great part about standards, there are thousands to choose from.
Samsung can get HDMI video out that usb port, yet LG doesnt, they put that craptastic second connector on there. Then Motorola does something completely different. Show me ANYONE that follows a standard.
Please show me how to airplay a power point to the projector from wifi, and do the same with an android tablet and an android phone all to the same hardware. Apple owns the board room for wireless and easy presentation control. I have installed more apple TV units in board rooms and had IT departments whine at me in the past 3 months than I have installed android based anything in the past 5 years.
you guys that are on a hell bent apple hate rage have no clue. the rich guys all use apple, they all like apple and that is who apple cares most about. And you will see more and more of it showing up in corporate use because it "just works"(tm) and works very well.
you should be pissed at microsoft and google for not even offering anything to compete.

Too bad you cant cement one on yourself. Damn them and their anti-heatsink technology!

They can ban it for the muggles, but all my ham gear will receive anything and does not have any channels blocked out.

Just to be sure there is not bias.
Plus do they have any examples to show to the class that backs up their claims?

You can stream 1080p video over bluetooth?
Oh wait you CANT... sorry kiddie, try again :-)
