Is they bring near unlimited liquidity to the market. They also don't move valuation, and they only compete against themselves to make the market more liquid thus reducing the actual profits they are "siphoning off the top". It's a race to the bottom alright, the bottom of HFT profits. Or do you'll believe that if they achieve another few order of magnitude of frequency, suddenly they'll drain the entire market of all it's value in a single day?
1) The object's mass

3) The error bounds on the measurement.
Without any of this, I have no idea if this is shocking news, or merely expected. And I'm on slash dot, while it might be contained within the article, I don't come here to RTFA.
Rename it "Fuck you, Holywood". I'm Serious. People will come because they hate the big establishment, it'll become a tourist attraction, and all the regulars will keep coming, and they get to stick it to the assholes.
People like steam because it's NOT gamestop. Steam evolved as a response to everything that was wrong with gamestop. Buying a new storefront isn't going to change the problems with gamestop, it's only going to ruin the storefront.
By that definition then this car is then slower than a speeding car, so long as this car is parked at some point in time. I don't think that's a wise interpretation. Especially when MOST bullets are MUCH faster than the stated theoretical speed of this car.
There is NOTHING hard about keeping up with technology in a workforce. At the low end are drafters who make around 35,000$ per year in salary alone. A brand power desktop every year would cost the company only 2,000$, thats less than 6% of the salary cost (probably under 3% of the actual total overhead cost) of the employee. If an average engineer makes 75,000$ that translates to 2.7% of his pay. These figures are absolutely inconsequential. The problem lies entirely with management that believes they are "saving" a little money by making a 75,000$ engineer work on a 15" screen on a computer that's 5 years old.
On the other hand, how much pollution would it generate to bring those products in on more smaller ships or on trucks through a series of tubes in the ocean.
So you mean like some kind of internet for the ocean?
The 2Ghz link is nice for being unaffected by weather, however you're going to need a very large dish or a huge SSPA/HPA to get enough output. Remembering that beam width varies linearly with frequency, a ~40Ghz Ka band is going to start at 13dB more gain from a similar dish verses a low end S band signal. One of the reasons it takes such a huge dish on the satellite. Now, my quick math is putting an 18m beamwidth at only.58 degrees at 2ghz. That's hardly enough to cover all of America, and in fact the 3dB beam would only be 220 miles across. Something with the math just doesn't add up.
There are providers of content parallel to and just as easily accessible by the consumer as Apple.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with your points. While yes it is easy for someone to create content, that is not the issue. Creating content for a palm pilot over 10 years ago had a very low entry barrier. However where apple differs is in the critical mass of it's app store. The app store solves the distribution problems that plagued the palm pilot. Developers can get their product in front of millions of people, make it easily search able, allows for easy and convenient purchasing, and apple takes care of all of it, for a fee of course. Starting a new app store requires tying it to a popular device and that is a huge barrier in and of its self.
However, what many people seem to forget is when at least 3 sigma of people buy an iPhone, they just want a device to go in their pocket, make calls, have a GPS map, a camera and go grab an app to play a game or do whatever it is they want. They bought that phone so they didn't have to go trolling through the interwebs looking for some off the wall app and hope and pray it doesn't have Trojans, key loggers, or even porn. Right wrong or indifferent that's what most people want from their phone.
As a result, apple starts censorship out of request by it's citizenry. And that's when it gets scary. The citizens of iPhone nation have asked for it's government to take care of telling it what is acceptable and not. They ask apple to filter out the "bad" stuff for them. It's a scary Orwellian world that is quickly approaching and the majority is HAPPY to see it coming.
My contract is coming up and I look toward my next phone. I can get a power user phone like the Android or I could get the new iPhone. One will come with a learning curve, cautious work to vet anything I put on it; however my reward is a very powerful tool in my pocket. Or I could buy an iPhone and know "it'll just work". After all, it's just a phone. I still don't know if I'll climb the mountain or slide down its slope. I do know that the slope is most definitely slick.
Assuming this is true, unless you actually know if you are a "head flipper" or a "tail flipper" (assuming of course you allways start with the same orientation) as long as the distribution of "head and tail flippers" is the same, the randomness of a random person flipping a coin stays intact.
Seriously. If you want to home brew fine, there is NOTHING stopping you from buying a second console to homebrew on as long as you keep it off THEIR network. Microsoft wants to have a service that is run on "secure" Xboxs to prevent hackers, cheaters, and pirates. This is something that is in YOUR interest, unless you think C.S. 1.6 was fun when some guy (not you) is running with the knife speed hack. This is also something you agreed to.
However, you KNOWINGLY (or should have known) violated a written contract with Microsoft. What's next, are you going to complain when the bank reposess your house because you don't pay? You have a contract, you violated the contract, Microsoft is taking steps that YOU AGREED IT COULD TAKE when you signed the contract. Even this law firm knows there isn't a case here, however they are now using YOU to get loads of free advertising. Wake up, grow up, or shut up. Pick one.
Umm... This week by beating innocent civilains I have caught 5 MAJOR terroist plans. Just trust me on this one.
How can you possibly take an unverifiable statement made by a party that serves that party's interest at face value?

At 1100 years old, I would surely hope this had fallen into public domain.
Just because you prefer 45 ACP doesn't mean everyone does. A 9mm would have done just as good of a job.

The first post. I didn't invent it, but I did get here first.
Well said sir, Well said.
Does your thumb drive need power to store stuff? Kindles are not typical devices. They're designed from the ground up to be battery minimalists.

500 18m dishes all on one satellite? How do you plan to launch said satellite?

I'm still forced on IE5 you insenstive clod!
Perhaps you should have built your building with asbestos and then you wouldn't have fire problems?
I think I need some more coffee this afternoon. :(
0.07$ to 0.70$ is 10 times or 1000%. It is not 11% no matter how good your accounts are at hiding numbers.
