Not necessarily. Even without accurate airspeed readings, the pilots should have still been able to maintain safe airspeed by setting the engines to a specific power output and trimming to a specific angle of attack. Probably pilot error (i.e. being distracted with alarms and not remembering to adjust throttle and angle....) but without that box it's hard to really know.
If you want to know why smart phones are $600+ a pop, crap like this is why. The patent arsenals these companies amass are there to destroy competition and nothing else.
Not the root cause for $600 smartphones. Really, it's to pay all those lawyers to defend and prosecute those patents. I hate lawyers, until I love them.
Terrible article. They don't even mention the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is perfectly capable of producing a +9 quake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_subduction_zone
It was a recurring dream actually. And strangely enough....this dream was also shared by some of my colleagues. It was difficult to make out at first, but after a while the dream became increasingly lucid. But in the end, all I could really make out was the front of a church and a voice saying "this is not dream" and "you are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing". There was also something about "one nine nine nine". Oh yeah, there was also a scary dude in the doorway.
I played with one at Best Buy the other day, and I have to say it really wasn't that bad (I think it was a Samsung or LG). The responsiveness of the touch screen was on par with my iPhone, nothing like the sluggish POS android phones I've tried (maybe I haven't tried the right one???). The large text spilling over to the next "page" is a bit annoying, but nothing deal breaking. The aggregation of social apps into the "tiles" is a little strange for me, but I can see how someone heavily invested in multiple forms of social networking apps may like this approach. I can only assume that Nokia hardware would be better than the WP7 phone I tried, so what's the deal?
With my pre-unibody Macbook Pro, I get 12 hours of battery life. How, you ask? I carry a couple of spare batteries in my laptop bag. Now my flights overseas don't require me to say "oh well, i might as well get wasted" halfway through the flight
Jobs' obsession with form in this case seriously compromises function. He seems to also be quite obsessed with thinness. I really like the new MBPs, but I just can't get over the battery thing.
Wow...I'm old. And games were MUCH harder back then. No youtube tips. No cheats. I remember the Zelda cartridge was one of the first (if not THE first) to have a battery built into it to save your game state (no more stupid passwords!). I checked mine about 5 years ago and it still had juice....I wonder....

Secondly, the early reports are that the suspect is hispanic and shoutted something in another language (presumabbly spanish if they are hispanic) before the shooting.
Ahhh, the "some say" technique. Do you work for Fox News? Can you provide a link, I haven't heard this.
If the statisticians at my company are any clue, misuse of p-values to conclude significance of effects is the most enraging thing that can happen to a statistician.
I'm talking serious rage and fear for my life. These guys are f-ing crazy.

Pretty typical for aviation and maritime communication of how many (live) people are on the vessel. Not sure how it originated though...
Am I moving at 0.90c or does that seem like it just happened yesterday?
Most likely photons and other various bosons
Never slime a guy with a positron collider
And never cross the streams. Or was it don't feed them after midnight? Fuck!
Sounds like an upcoming xkcd strip.
Really lucky.
My colleague's broke when it fell off her desk.
She dropped it wrong.
Ok. getting old.

...to picture # 3, you can see one of the cables says "to NSA". They really are pulling out all the stops to compete with AT&T.

Was it the wanking banana?
Anyone have a link?
It's amazing how much you can cram into a Twitter post with Japanese (or any Kanji-based language for that matter...)
And who are they after?
but some are useful

No, I believe the law states "anything that can be written in 100 lines of Perl can be written in 1 line of Python"
HAHAHA! Wow, it doesn't take much these days to induce laughter. At least I WTFV

As a 0.0000014% owner of Apple, Inc., i'm going to have to agree with you. I have fought hard for my little nibble of the pie crumb.
Ha! Big emphatic HA!
You must not have Asian in-laws. Your strategy would bring me nothing but pain and suffering.
Nope. Sorry. Not this time.
