If each panel was a square meter, that's 193 square miles of solar panels.
Hillary is talking about solar panels from Solyndra. They take up very little space . . . because they don't exist at all.
Instead of making promises about the number of solar panels, Hillary should be talking about how much power will be produced by them. In relation to how much power that comes from other sources.
In California recently, firefighting aircraft were grounded due to a bunch of "Dorks with Drones" that were flying haphazardly over the fire. Just check Google News with "California fire drone".
And just how do you know that for sure? Serious, professional government intelligence services don't brag about successful hacking by posting about it on Facebook. Only kiddies do that.
So we have no way of knowing if Hilary had any top secret (or above!) information on that mail server, or if it made it into the hands of the intelligence services of foreign, hostile governments.
World honey prices, like world diamond prices, are kept artificially high by a South African monopoly. For diamonds, the monopoly company is called de Beers. For honey, the monopoly company is called de Bees.
I don't think that's a very good idea. If Slashdotters already have thin skin, in space, we will end up with no skin at all. Then we would look very creepy.
But then again, we probably look very creepy to with skin anyway.
Surely this device has nothing whatsoever to do with a mass-spec?
It doesn't matter. Package it up to look like a Star Trek Tricorder, and sell them at Star Trek conventions. They will be an instant hit. Trekkies will have a hoot and a half running around scanning each other.
Maybe I should buy a whistle and re-badge it as a "sonic screwdriver"?
That would sell well at Dr. Who conventions. Maybe Vikorinox could bring out a Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver Swiss Army Knife . . . ?
There are better ways to relax than sticking me full of needles.
I dunno. I'm thinking that acupuncture is kinda sorta an S&M type thing. The "S" folks relax by sticking needles into other folks. The "M" folks relax by getting needles stuck into them.
Not my scene, but if it works for both, it sounds like a Win/Win situation.
Does Obamacare cover acupuncture? If so, the government might be sponsoring sexual S&M hanky-panky . . . I'd pay mucho dollares to see the US presidential candidates comment on this. It would be a hoot and a half!
You may not want to think about it, but you are going to die sometime. That's it. A lot of people are afraid of death. I have no fear of death, because I know it is inevitable. The philosopher Thomas Nagel wrote in his work "Mortal Questions" that death, was a part of living. So you should view death as "completing the totality of your existence".
Maybe a better example for nerds, I'm watching "Space:1999" right now on broadcast TV . . . dubbed in German! Anyway, for some reason, a planet of folks become immortal. They have some kind of cell regeneration that makes them live forever. Their society degenerates and becomes corrupt. Because death gives life a meaning. Without the thought of death, living has no meaning.
These morbid jokes about Truck Factor or Bus Factor in no means devalue the worth of life. They are simply us looking into the future, and tapping on a subject, that most of us would rather avoid thinking about.
Hey, cut these folks some slack. They are darned brave individuals, who fly on birth flights of new space technology. It's "The Right Stuff" . . . um, stuff.
I'll buy any one of them a beer any day . . . and throw in dinner, as well.
Slashdot Mirror
"White House Resolution 455"
I found "White House Resolution 451" more interesting . . . this proposed burning all the books in the Library of Congress to generate electricity.
Just because Manhattan isn't underwater doesn't mean we don't measure and observe it.
Manhattan will never be under water. Wall Street will always get yet another bailout.
500 Quatloos on the Übercomers!
Unfortunately, no one here is old enough to get that joke . . .
I'm kind of wondering where they would all go.

Well, now you've done it. You've attracted attention from the Secretive Service by using the words "Obama" and "assassinate".
Wait, I used them . . . !
Bacon Mountain Dew
I'd drown in it.
Clinton wasn't hacked

What about Al Haig? I thought he was in charge
He thought he was in charge, too. And he said so.
But he wasn't.
So it could breathe fire, as well? It sounds like they have not found a snake, but a fire-breathing dragon!
I would find sports in general much more exciting if drug use were mandatory.
Hmmm . . . The phrase "Criminal Drug Evasion" pops into my mind . . . THX-1138

Tip the veal, try the waitress . . .
I think the whole 192.168.X.X net should be taken down. I've noticed a lot of suspicious activity there . . .

. . . but does it come with Monster Cables . . . ? Audiophiles really can hear the difference, even if it is only in their own minds . . .

I wish them the best of luck on their flights!
. . . and soon we'll have captains marrying captains, lieutenants marrying lieutenants, sergeants marrying sergeants . . .
It will be marriage, all the way down.
This was covered in a 70's horror filmed called "Willard": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Oh, you just can't beat those classics . . .
That would be new one. Usually when an executive makes a bad decision, the executive responds by laying off a bunch of little folks.
So, wait . . . does this new movie have a line where Han Solo says to Jar Jar, "I am your father" . . . ?
Or is it the other way around, and Jar Jar says to Han Solo, "I am your father" . . . ?
I guess there still are a lot of plot twists and storyline shifts that they can milk out of this franchise.
When I was a kid, all we had for visualizations was a milk carton and a candle.
Luxury! When I was a lad, we lived in a milk carton by the side of the road.
With no candle, either!
When I was a lad, living in a paper bag at the side of the road, this was the real deal concerning Giant Robots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
. . . in the US, this was aired on UHF TV stations as: Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot.
