radius of the earth is 6400km, so it will be at ten times the radius of the earth. It will experiance an acceleration from the earth of about 0.1m/s^2. In those few hours it will be greater than 13th magnitude it's velocity will change by about 1km/s or ~30000km/h from the force of the earth alone.
20cents per kWh, one kilowatt used for one hour, whereas this is $1 per watt of capacity, i.e $1 will allow you to generate 1watt, which will generate 1kWh in 1000hrs.
This is something we are told about just about any mineral resource, and usually once it gets short, we manage to find a new resource, obviously this cant happen forever, but running out mightnt be an issue for a while. Also it means this technology isnt going to be cost effective for long using the current materials.
Unless you can give me a link/phone number where i could immediately, as in NOW, purchase solar power at $1/W, this is a useless announcement. Additionally, the areticle says manufacturing costs are past $1/W, which is not the same as the cost to the end user.
We can only perceive a tiny slive of the EM spectrum, but we've built telescopes capable of maping the night sky from the radio of the CMB to the high energy gamma ray bursts, and everything in between
I find it sadly amusing that copyright and similar concepts has gotten so far that there should be countries in which it is not possible to waive elements of it
in theory this is what the politicians are for, we elect them so that they can say, 'we were chosen by the people, so any action we take is that which the people want' which saves having 65M people argueing over what to do, but they do still get a say by informing their MP of their ideas/opinions etc which the MP then takes into account when s/he goes off to visit parliment.
Of course this is all in theory...and we all know how it rerally works out
there are loads of acronyms with many meanings, and with almost all of them the meaning is left unambiguous by the context. If you cant figure it out from the context, then it's probably not of importance to you.
Including operating systems, when all those linux geeks get the dominance over microsoft they seem so keen to advocate, they wont be using a lack of virii as a selling point any more
im guessing they are worried about victims being traced by their numbers if they call up the abusive partners, but then why are they even calling them... so your point still stands in my view. If you have to hide your number you are likely up to no good, why not just make it illegal to hide your caller id
When uploading pictures to facebook, the uploader requires the copyright holders permission, if they are pictures you took, then you could tell facebook to take them down
is this really the most important part of the stimulus in relation to tech, R+D, and similar things, how about a break down of all the ways it's going to affect anything that is 'stuff that matters' to nerds. I dont mean this as a troll, i would genuinely like to see a full list, new age batteries sound good, but cant be the only thing.
This false fact cycle has been done plenty of times before. There was one recently-ish regarding a football team in some european championship, a british paper included a very silly false fact from wikipedia (something about the fans wearing wellies on their heads or something along those lines) and in a similar way, the cycle was closed. I cant remember the exact details, im sure someone will follow with a link
1234567890 is some arbitrary decimal string, if you wished to note a notable number, why not one which is 2^N, for something so entirely based within computers, it seems much more sensible to think in binary than some decimal number which happens to look a little pretty

Then all we need to do is master interstella travel !

try lesbos, a greek island where the name actually came from
are they expecting another even better/worse one after this?
I think the bigger challenge will be in getting mere mortals to have a $400 toy budget to afford the SSD

How many more things need be integrated to the cloud before we start to blur the edges into thin clients (in a good way).
if hulu are asking to be removed, then it sounds like hulu have stopped supporting boxee, rather than boxee no longer supporting hulu
