When I tried saying "What is the weather in Sydney" I got an answer saying that the functionality is coming soon and to try Accuweather instead. Why not just pipe that request to Google and return the text at the top?
There is media (but not public?) outcry over the Pasadena, CA police switch from analog radio that can be picked up by scanners to encrypted digital radio that cannot.
Am i the only person who realizes that they left out the word "yet" in that sentence.
It should be easy to harvest it; you just stop the planet's spin and then... Oh, you don't know how to do that? And your species is dependent on the planet's magnetic field because you can't stand up to much radiation? Well then you can't harvest that current... We Q could do it, but don't need any puny electricity.
You are no longer a member of the Continuum. Your superiors have decided to punish you!
So does this mean people will start taking Immanuel Velikovsky seriously? I mean people aside from James Hogan?
Naa...
Despite this popularity, overwhelming rejection of its thesis by the scientific community forced Macmillan to stop publishing it and to transfer the book to Doubleday within two months, and that pretty much puts "Paid" to that
Personally, if I just invented some free energy source I would release all the plans for the benefit of the world and put all my resources into proving the concept for scientific verification.
Bwahahahahahahaha, stop me before I wet my pants, Puhleeeze!
I also thought (and I could be wrong) that one of the reasons going to the doctor can be much more expensive in the US is because they get deals to prescribe certain branded medications.
That happens with cheaper doctors too. Drug companies offer doctors incentives to prescribe medications (i.e. free pens, gadgets, equipment, pads, pre-printed prescription blanks, etc.) but that doesn't raise the cost to the patient (except if they have to pay cash for their meds instead of having some sort of insurance).
Couple of years back, I was in the market for a flat screen TV/Monitor combo, and being of the techie/anal retentive sort that I am did my research. Vizio was cheaper, and to my eyes, as good as my sons' Sony, etc., TVs. So good, in fact I bought another, and recommended Vizio to another relative in the flat screen market. She bought 4 in total.
You are now being sued by Alice Walker, Oprah Winfrey, Harpo Productions, et al for the similarity of your reply to "The Color Purple". Cease and desist.
Since the late 1990s, Kodak has struggled financially as a result of the decline in sales of photographic film, and 2007 was the most recent year in which the company made a profit.
In the late 2000s, Kodak also turned to aggressive patent litigation in order to generate revenue. As of late-2011, Kodak was reportedly exploring the sale or licensing of its vast portfolio of patents in order to stave off bankruptcy but recent reports indicate that the situation is so grim that it may be unavoidable.
Sad when the maker of buggy whips sues maker of tires because of patent infringement. Sometimes they just can't change and need to get out of the way.
If you read that link too you'll see some US doctors are making their prices comprable to other countries which again makes it more attractive.
Question is why? I can't speak about the rest of the country, only NY City, because that's where I lived and practiced Pharmacy most of my life, but there is a very large Indian professional population there because they could make much more money in the US than in their native country. There are some blocks in the borough of Queens that have only Indian born Doctors for miles and miles. Maybe they have decided to cut prices to beat the competition.
Walk, or ride a bike. Lots of people do it. It's the newest thing, and all the "cool" kids are doing it. (snark controls back to maximum)
Seriously, I live in the central highlands of Mexico where the average income is ~ 4,000 MXN/month ( around $295 USD) and gasoline, although less expensive than in the US is still expensive. Everybody, old ladies to kids, either walks, takes a bus, rides a bike, or has a small displacement scooter or motorcycle.
I myself have both a car and scooter and use the scooter or car only when I need it. Most times I just walk, and most daily needs are met within a 5-10 minute walking distance, and my income is 10 times that of a normal Mexican. BTW, Since moving here a year ago, I've lost almost 40 Lbs. of ugly fat.
The question of whether to buy a hybrid or not really depends more on where they are going to be driven the most. If purchasing a car that is going to see mostly stop and go city traffic, then the hybrids would be the better buy, because that is what they are specifically designed for. If most of the driving is going to be on the highway, then the diesel offerings come out on top. If fuel mileage is of no concern and the environmental impact of the vehicle is the main concern, then the best choice would be a hybrid.
"Highest mileage cars" do not necessarily translate to "most fuel efficient cars". Maybe someone smart will come out with a diesel-electric hybrid (in development for Armed forces and large trucks) , combining the best of both worlds until battery technology catches up with demand.

"some" being the operative word there. "some" means not a hell of a lot
Not only is it not dark, I think I can see Syd Barrett.

Does that mean that we'll go back to having gasoline actually be real, 100% honest-to-God gasoline too?
Yes, and my friend Jim won't be able to brag any more about how the government is paying him NOT to grow corn so that they can shore up the prices.

I seriously wonder what would happen if the US got nukes launched at it though
Buy my book coming out on Amazon next month to find out. (Hint:most countries in South America become Super Powers)

Not everybody who's into tech has money, dude.

Good and cheap sometimes is just good, period.

If you can't buy it, it's kinda nonsensical to say it has a $100 price. It doesn't have a price at all.
must be priceless
Don't want to be mean but I think it would be really really really cool if they find plenty of radiation.
Don't get your hopes up, all it probably means is that someone's brother-in-law makes dosimeters.
So right, yet you post as an AC. Live in Texas, do you?
And yet they have such forward thinking laws such as giving creationism equal footing in schools with evolution.
lately, everything our "leaders" do sucks
"Lately" ? Pretty much ever since Eisenhower warned against the "military-industrial complex" in the 1950s.

out of all the solar systems out there, do any of you really believe that life only exists here? To me that's just being naive.
How many stars can there be named Sol?
Just one, and he's from the lower East side in Manhattan, or is that Saul? I forget.
Asserting certainty for a fact for which you have zero evidence and you're calling other people naive.
Slashdot never ceases to amuse.
