Everyone bashes conservatives on science ignorance or bias. As you pointed out the libertarian slashdoters have their version of junk science. Whenever I post a list of leftist junk science I get bashed too. All parties need to be more open minded and enlightened.
The created a new class of genetically gifted in society. This caused class tension with the ordinaries and defectives.
Unlike GATTACA, rapid testing would mean everyone is analyzed and databsed at birth or before. Then just rapid sub-testing of a few markers culd match the database instead full resequencing every identity check.
I heard a Stanford linguistics professor John McWhorter suggest that stong verbs in Germanic languages were like semetic verbs: vowels shifts indicate tense and case. He goes a step further and suggests an intermingling of the two cultures sometime around split of germanic from Indo-European. Lots of wild ideas out there.
I thought the slow adoption of Windows 7 was one of the motives for Windows 8. The other motive for Windows 8 was univification with mobile platforms, rplacing Windows CE. Poor Windows 7 sales was the reason the long time Windows manager was retired.
Since the peak in 2005. The US should reach the Kyoto treaty goal of 1988 CO2 emission levels in 2014. It is almost there now.
Most of the US reduction was accidental due huge discoveries of cheap natural gas. That has replaces a quarter of more dirty coal production, with much more to come. As Obama vehicle emission laws take effect, CO2 will fall even more.
The hope is that China imitates the US and switches to methane energy production too. China has TWICE the methane resources of the US, but has barely started producing it.
Largest eruption of 20th cenutry 20 years ago. We may not want too many of these eruptions closely spacing in a row. It could greatly reduce agricultural for several years. And maybe trgiger a mini-cie age.
I've been observing developments at SIGGRAPH for over a decade. Fanstastic stuff! It used to cost over $50K to build a wall (16) of old-style video cameras with computers to process the images.
All this from asking the "what if" question: "what could you see if you had more than two eyes?" i.e. a wall or hypercube of arbitrary close eyes. Some very interesting answers in the SIGGRAPH papers. Some answers not at all expected.
They began as an wallisze array of video cameras a decade ago. But people learned you can get similar results with an array of special lenses on to a single large camera with a lot of computer postprocessing. The array of lenses looks like an insect eye.
> Did I say that? Once again, your own baggage.
You certainly did by claiming the peak was already reached in 2008.
I had to correct your grossly inaccurate statements at least twice today.
The MIT circuit design course was like drinking from a firehose, i.e. MIT-pace. You have to be motivated to keep up and spend lots of time on it. I took it as a MIT student and the surrounding college environment helped a lot with self-discipline. Most of Cousera's courses will not be as intense as this, but they are still college-level courses.
The USGS and several major oil companies estimate peak oil from conventional resources during the 2030s. Tight reservoir production released by fraking may add another decade. (Fracking has only been done in 10% of the world so far.) Vast methane hydrates offshore may add a couple more decades. (Only Japan has tried to produce these.) It merely a matter of sometime THIS century, not easy to pin down. The hope is this will buy time to develop non-carbon energy. A lot of clever ideas have been proposed here n Slashdot, but cannot economically compete with abundant methane yet.
Ther have been Cassandras who claimed "peak oil" since the 1860s, and always "next year" since then. But theiy are not very good geoscientists.
As the latest, greatest new tech advance. I almost threw up. I dont think working all night or long days in a row is going to solve a lot of problems. Just Because Zuckerberg does it and Zuckerberg is rich doesnt mean its a good business model.
This was the title of a story during the height of the dot.com era. When there appears to be a shortage of programmers all kind of strange things happen. Code Academy and data mining are among them.
We did that in the college research game. A prototype was already done before we applied for a grant. We used the money to perfect the old project and start a new secret project. Nothing succeeds like existing success.
Both clean and not clean. The are the fast growing enery users in the world. They will soon going into fracking with twice as much tight gas as the US.

If you dont to participate and pay for the benefits of socitey, that is fine for me. Just dont freeload off me.

I cant believe Seager and Howard dont know this. I think the journalist must mistinerpreted their paper.

You have a huge electro-chemical generator just millmeters from the glasses.
People have also made mechanical power sources from footsteps or pedometer pendulums. Remember self-winding watches?
No serious industry person thinks it is due to limits on production capacity. Upcoming years will tell.

Ultracold so it doesnt hit the container quickly. Made at CERN too.
The web didnt really take off in the USA until he developed two decent browswers- Mosaic and Netscape. I used Mosaic in 1993.
You have to have a cash register, clerk, physical visit to bank, tabulation, possibly armoured service.
I thought the first customer launch would be in 2011. Between the recession and perfection where human life is involved they took longer.
I know someone who took the oreintation course in 2010. They put you in a similator so you you know how violent certain parts of the ride will be.

you can if you have an ebook app and tablet, but not a browser.

Most comapnies can only afford to support the two most recent/ppoular releases.
