ok, i simply did not believe the article was about wireless power. if that were the case, i would not be expecting that kind of announcement to come bundled in a new product article. It belongs in a science publication. as you said, it probably doesnt exist. I dont believe it exists either.
of course we do know about wireless power via solar panels, but this is something of a different order.
Like wise dude, read more carefully. These are not just hunks of plastic - they DO have a battery - just not a bulky one (as power requirements have been reduced). They will also have capacitive screens and likely a speaker. They will charge off a base station that does not require it to be plugged in. I understand that this same base station is where the processing will be.
agreed, we, the populous of slashdot are indeed responsible to make these remarks and be bothered by the incorrect usage of scientific words. Why? because we f'n care: that is why. That is what makes us different than the folks that would be bored reading a site where the nitty gritty is debated to exhaustion. lets not take our charge lightly nor give up in the face of shit media outlets.
I haven't heard of too many "earth shattering" breakthroughs...
Ironic pun is ironic. I think the research being done on the ISS is to further our abilities in space vs. on earth. For example measuring half life's / radiation to see if there is a difference when in space might yield a different decision on what type of fuel is usable for spaceships.
The race is exciting, but we still need a pit crew.
Yes, but the pit crew needs trained for the space race:( my pun isnt as good as yours, tho)
thats great for the handful of games that have local multiplayer. but unfortunately that feature has also been stripped from many many games where we have every right to expect it (Skate 3 is the title that I found to be grievously offending - I returned it and still play Skate 2 often for local mulitplayer)
Progress should be reported to the user in outline format. Give the user the list of tasks that the computer is working on, show progress in each task. This is much more informative, and as a user - i'd feel more intimate with the process and in turn more trusting. also this might allow me to troubleshoot things that are moving slowly. some games are great at this, i've never seen it in an OS though.
exactly why we need a small army of people doing exactly this to a multitude of sites on a regular basis. It will become abundantly clear that the DMCA take down process is flawed and is doing more harm than good.
This is actually scientifically not true. Caffeine affects us by blocking the chemicals that make us tired. As a result we are not only feeling more awake, but actually are more awake. The crash that occurs is because the chemicals that have been blocked thus far, are in a waiting pattern until their blockage disappears after which they flood the receptors. I do agree though, there is a good amount for false positive when it comes to perceived performance though.
That would fall under the category of Plausible Deniability and is a very valid defense if you were taken to court. What you point out is actually a really good reason to keep your network open (but, if you are smart, quite controlled).

There is probably no one else in the entire world having as much fun as Putin. I, for one, am genuinely jealous of that lucky bastard

In short, there are aspects of Islam very much compatible with the degenerate aspects of the secular-progressive culture
I'd love to see you turn that microscope on Catholicism.

i'm being very serious here
AC is right

You mean Peoples' Champion? Because that is what it sounds like you are saying to me.

you can do CGI essentially realtime
So, wth have video games been doing thus far?

Kari Byron!!? I seeded all over the place
yes. it is called ad revenue, its been a working business model for decades before the internet.
im sorry but SMBC is not oblig. (get off my lawn!)
there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.
binary is the lower limit for everything in the entire universe, everything still seems to work just fine though.
what does Goodwin the thread mean?
