How much may some of our "safe" foods degrade our environment? An almost empty coffee cup with a cigarette butt in it may be an attractive and deadly nuisance to a bee. WOW, what a sweet buzz! Where was I? The odor might get them rejected at the entrance to the hive. Multiply that by the daily output of all the little corner stores and gas stations. Some may develop a tolerance for nicotine and be real grouchy until their first cup every day.
Is it not true that development and delivery effort hit the fan when Netezza changed the computational platform on the drones from IBM to Intel processor architecture to save money?
It should be quite easy to fart rainbows if the positions of the light source, observer and Steve's sphincter are in proper alignment. Have a bag of burritos handy in case there is a need for re-takes. This could be modeled with any reasonable ray-tracing program or the like. I want to see the first free iDevice app with this graphic. To be fair, an Adobe representative should be present to indicate the relative position of the observer. YouTube will gladly convert the display format to Flash for the X.264 impaired.
"But to have a single, double clickable.app that runs on 4 platforms (PPC, Intel / 32, 64bit), naively."
Any app I write has to run on ALL unsophisticated and unsuspecting CPUs from a brief non-debounced contact closure, beginning with the Motorola 6800.;)
I've been thinking a lot about several varieties of aerogel products lately. Aerogel is 95% air and is hydrophobic, yet will absorb light oils. To the extent that it can de-homogenize oil and water suspensions, it would be useful as a separating agent. Oil-saturated aerogel should be lighter than water and rise to the top. This would also facilitate centrifugal separation of oil-laden mud. The oils can then be removed from the aerogel with moderate heat. Then you get to recycle both the aerogel and the oil. I'd be surprised if there are no patents covering this.
It doesn't take much speed for an easily re-positionable factory-worker robot to be demonstrably more effective than a stationary robot for many simple tasks outside the reach of the stationary robot. Being slightly slower than a healthy human's capability to dodge harm is advantageous as well. This is a shrewd development for a large manufacturing entity that desperately needs economic agility. A workforce like this could be fabulously competitive. It could release many souls from a life of menial labor and foster effective learning and dreaming. Look at humanity. Our greatest potential remains to be realized.
Unemployment statistics are a bad joke. Humanity is over-employed through artificial economics. Because of this, many noble things remain undone.
The obvious sudden mental incapacitation is all that is required to confirm that the lady at hand has achieved her desired effect. You must be able to recover quickly. After the initial contact, it rapidly ceases to be desirable response.
I can count to numbers higher than five with one hand by using a natural positional representation. With two hands, I can count from 0 to 1023. The "thumbian issues" had to be resolved via an agreed upon convention very early on. Alas, my toes are insufficiently agile to permit me to easily reach 1,048,575. (Incidentally, the fox at the next table just caused my sign bit to become set.) FWIW, that is not a gesture of disrespect that I am displaying. It is unambiguously the number FOUR. On the other hand, it would be 128, and together they would represent 132 (the number of columns on a page of greenbar paper).
Context is everything. Some words have been overloaded. Learn what they are and move on. Consider "moment". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment
Ambiguity is as intolerable as intolerance itself, and disambiguation comes in many guises. In some situations, the type of a variable is not known until "execution time". Dismiss my diatribe if you will. I'm just an aging manipulator of symbols that switched to using Macs when Apple switched to using BSD.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?...|......
Any currently supported Windows OS platform would probably suffer from timeouts breaking everything in this environment. I bet the Dell SuperBungler can't launch a million Windows VMs whiile using Microsoft's virtualization products on such a pitiful platform with fewer than 5000 CPUs. My bullshit detector just vibrated it's way off my desk. WTF?
Doesn't anybody encrypt things they store in public places?
I use NSA facilities for write-only archives. If my data is genuinely important, they will flag it and notify me. Could anything be more convenient?
Knowing the name of the agency and the building would make it easier for reporters to pursue the truth about who did the editing and why. You can't question a suspect until you obtain knowledge about their current location and their presence at the place and time of the incident being investigated.
It's not about computer security. It's about government agency PR and legal liability.
4/1000 of a second may indeed be sufficiently brief to be unobservable, especially if this is done a 1 second or greater intervals. It's likely that the same brief activation period is achievable on other platforms because the underlying hardware is so similar. Big Bot-herder is watching...
It seems that iPhoto was used to take the picture, thus providing the on-screen countdown and flash. My question is, what is the minimum time that the camera can be activated via device driver calls? If it is 1/100 second or less, the brief flash of the LED might go unnoticed.

This subject line says it all when it comes to efficiently placing things in low earth orbit.

Maybe they'll get some angel funding from Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis.

Yes, and those things owned by you are Chriss rather than Chris's. Possession is 9/10 of the law. Chris is.
