I thought it was kind of chunky just walking normally and might be supported by the umbilicus but once the guy starting shoving it sideways I got chills. It recovered just like an animal would. Very impressive.
As far as I can tell, we're hard-wired to derive pleasure from independence and self-reliance, probably because it's an advantageous trait in evolutionary terms.
Although this is exactly how I feel about myself, I've mostly found the complete opposite of most people. It probably depends on the person and the situation though. My parents are super DIY'ers for home repairs/improvements but when it comes to technology they just flat out refuse to learn how to do things themselves. They'd rather rely on me to "just fix it."
Article says they eliminated possible sources for error but doesn't list them. Every scientific paper I've ever wrote had a section you had to list possible venues for errors in your experiment. I don't doubt they did, but I'd like to know what they were. I can't even get all my clocks in my apt to sync up to my computer or at work or to the tv or anything else. I imagine it's really hard to do this with two remote locations unless the clocks were perfectly synced in person and then transported to the different research stations. Otherwise, if they eliminated all possible known error sources could this have been a spacetime bend? We already know that matter/gravity bends spacetime. Perhaps there was a varying gravity density between the two stations? I know neutrinos rarely interact with matter but are they affected by gravity like photons are?
I know there will be a few "who cares?" and "why are we bothering?"... If it's in orbit it will come back around again. Much like how we need to track all satellites around Earth to prevent collisions, and asteroids/comets that may be on a trajectory towards Earth, we'll need to track this object as well. Who knows when and where it might collide with something in the future.
Which is why you don't test the soil for microbes right where the lander put its wheels... The entire rest of the planet is still a viable target for research. Anything that isn't buried beneath the regolith pushed by the wheels will die from UV exposure. Blown away/exposed by wind? UV exposure. This is seriously a non-threat. As long as you don't sample from wheel treads and the rover was properly sterilized it'll be fine. (not to mention any microbes you find should be tested in comparison to those of earth origin. It's highly unlikely that you'll find an identical strain of organism on Mars as found on Earth.)
I never said it didn't have piracy on it. But it does have legitimate users from legitimate companies with legitimately free software uploading to it as well. My point was pertaining to that topic. Reasons why legitimate traffic would or would not go to the new website verses the old Pirate Bay.
People (legitimate uploads at least) put their files on Pirate Bay because it offloads the server work and increases their customer base. Almost like free advertising for their software. You go to TPB, see what files are popular and download them. You might download software you could never have heard of since you have no other contact with that company. Can't go download something from a website you never heard of. And since it was torrents, popular files you could get in no time vs going to the company's main website for a direct download which could take way longer if they didn't invest in their servers/connections. Going rapidshare style almost blows the whole point of going to TPB.
Maybe my friends are just alcoholics but after every 5-6 person LAN party I had, my apartment looked like I had a 50 person frat party. Not sure this would be much of a problem.
Why have extra jacks on the devices to begin with? Some phones I've had in the past used the usb port for a earpiece. Why not just do that instead of having the 3.5mm port to begin with? Hell, make a cheapo adapter that extends the usb port with a 3.5mm port that splits off of it for legacy support/the headphones of your choice. That way you can charge and listen to headphones at the same time like you can currently with the two separate ports.
A.) What could I possibly want to delete from my computer that I would actively want to share with anyone? (ie. to my benefit) B.) Can you imagine the number of copies of "New Folder" and "untitled folder" there would be in there?
We're extending our Whispersync technology so that you get to keep and access all of your notes and highlighted content in the Amazon Cloud, available anytime, anywhere – even after a rental expires.
Then immediately after.
If you choose to rent again or buy at a later time, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced.
Well, which is it? These seem to be mutually exclusive conditions. Either you can access your notes "anytime, anywhere" when your rental has expired or you can only access them after you have given them more money again.
analyzed lung tissue samples from the dead monkeys and identified a never-before-seen adenovirus, which they named titi monkey adenovirus (TMAdV), or "T-virus."
It seems counter intuitive at first but it makes sense. If you want the people in power to take your privacy seriously, you have to make them feel as insecure in their privacy as the rest of us are. By exposing them, it puts them in the same boat as us, and thus maybe they'll start to take security and privacy seriously.
It'll let me know what bars NEVER to go to. Also, isn't this like a blatant rip off of some episode of that show where the main character reads micro-facial expressions to tell when people are lying? (which was a blatant parallel to facebook/Zuckerberg)

They're called "Tostitos."
"Its too expensive".... and yet in real terms music has never been cheaper
I'd love to know where you buy your music from. I haven't seen a price change in albums since CDs first came out.
It becomes eztv.eu?
