Agreed. Finding new antibiotics only postpones the problem. We can take steps now to alleviate it, like banning antibiotic soap and restricting the use of antibiotics currently in use. Bacteria make up well over 99% of the biomass of the planet. A war on them isn't one we can win.
That's about as ironic as meeting the man of your dreams then meeting his beautiful wife. He drove dangerous cars and died doing it. Big fucking surprise.
My slashdot sig was once, "2010: The Year of Linux on the Phone". That year saw many new phones running Android and a few other Linux OSs, remarkable advancement from Android 1.5 to 2.2, and a huge increase in Android users and percentage of smart phones. Android is now past 80% of smartphones and climbing. I used to have an Android decal on my car, but I took it off because it was too mainstream. It was like saying I supported computers. I hope we have more competitors in this space, like Sailfish, but we are way past the year of Linux in your pocket.
I feel the politicians and bureaucrats in NSA and other intelligence agencies violating our 4th amendment and other rights are the ones committing treason, not those blowing the whistle. But obviously YMMV.
Remember the article yesterday about US officials fearing another 2 years' worth of releases? It means there are people well aware of more things not yet released. This is just the beginning.
I know who the Winklevoss twins are, and that they are referred to in the plural as the Winklevi, a funny play on Latin male second declension (alumnus, alumni). The GP used Winklevii (with two i's at the end for some reason) in the singular. That's the fucked up Latin part.
I love how the fantastic article has both global satellite navigation system and global navigation satellite system. If I weren't such a grammar nazi, I might be able to actually read an article. Dammit, I just split an infinitive!
Against stationary targets maybe, or if the UAV is moving towards you. If it's moving quickly tangentially to you, good luck. Also, UAV's come in many sizes and shapes. Unless you know for sure either its altitude or size, you won't know where to aim. As in, "Is that a small UAV at 150 feet, a medium UAV at 500 feet, or a large UAV at a 1,000 feet?"

I'm not sure about your reading either. It never said Shanghai is a country.
Yeah, I guess if you're uploading lots of selfies while browsing a store, you might want to trade your privacy for much better up speed.
Whose who would exchange privacy for a little internet access deserve neither.

Or phones and tablets with Android.
That graph includes tablets; I was referring to just phones, being that the subject was on pockets.

Correct!
It's never too late to imagine beowullf clusters!

What's a Winklevii? It's fucked up Latin like this that keeps me up at night.
Slashdot is a news aggregator, in case you're new here. It's always somewhere else first.
Yeah, just drive run a crossover cable to Wikipedia's server room!
So did he. It was full of nothing.
Did you miss the part about training more? It's pretty much the whole summary.
Does it involve being able to repel firepower of that magnitude?

Screw that. I want a life-size Argentinasaurus!

Newsflash, you're still using Ubuntu!
It may not be as easy as you think to shoot and hit a small moving target hundreds of feet in the air.
Yeah, and my BIC pen melts so easily when I throw it in the blast furnace. Lousy engineers.
