Why mod this up? It is an uniformed post from someone trying to push their own project.
If the parent read TFA then they would have realized that Rockbox has got results from the initial days of when it was on the Archos Jukebox players, and for most players is ahead of the proprietary firmware (especially for those who are fans of open standards such as ogg). Rockbox is sufficiently mature that support for it is a factor when I'm looking at mp3 players.
"A safe cracker would be able, for a brief time, to enter a scene, open the safe, remove its contents, close the door and exit the scene, whilst the record of a surveillance camera apparently showed that the safe door was closed all the time,"
So it's a way of hiding something in time, without anyone really knowing anything is being hidden.
I liked it most and played it most before any of the grinding! I've tolerated it since then, but with each new patch things seem to be getting more and more towards grind/pay.
You may be understimating just how long the grinding will take. 200 hours to get a random hat, of which there are 5, sound good to you? That's a lot of play time to get the one you want.
Well I guess I will not be playing TF2 again. Despite the 'it's optional defence' some of the items will give advantages. You can still get them all randomly, so it's a choice of grind or pay up. I think I'll do neither.
I did not know that. However at least this user-friendly extension from the EFF will hopefully be a better solution for less technically inclined people, and be able to raise awareness of the difference between using http and https.
Oh wow, this is awesome. I've used greasemonkey scripts with facebook but it's pretty ugly, seems to load the http page before the https page. This sounds perfect.
Here's the link https://www.eff.org/files/https-everywhere-latest.xpi which is missing from TFS.
The only thing I want to know is whether or not there are going to be some candidates standing for the pirate party in the general election, and if so in what seats? It'd be interesting to see how well they do.
Nothing in the article or summary said the temperature was important. Temperature is a bit more of an abstract concept in this type of experiment, as the overall energy is small (kettle boiling energies). For fusion however it's temperature x density x volume that's the important thing, and laser fusion achieves very high densities.
The important points were that a) this is a record laser energy and b) the absorption in the holhraum from the laser was 95%, much higher than was expected. This means gain in a target (ignition) is looking very likely.
Of course laser fusion can't provide a sustained burn for seconds, that's not how it works! Your car engine doesn't burn fuel in a sustained way, but it does a pretty good job of providing enough average power right?
The key point here it's a step towards getting gain in a fusion plasma. And hopefully in 2010. The earliest a tokamak is likely to achieve the same is 2020. The steps towards a powerplant are different for tokamaks and lasers, but high rep-rate lasers exist and projects like HiPER will look to address these issues.
No, for fusion Deuterium and Tritium are used (heavy isotopes of Hydrogen). This is the only 'nuclear' material needed, and this is exactly what NIF will use.
Slashdot Mirror
Welcome to 2012 graphical calculators, nice of you to finally join us!
Wouldn't you be concerned if the vendor of the OS you're dependent on suddenly comes along and decides to push their own store with it?
Ahem. And Ubuntu seems to be the preferred target by Valve. So why does it matter that Windows 8 has an app store if Ubuntu has one too?
In the time taken to reply to me you could have found the relevant bit in the article and understood what they have claimed to achieved...
TFA is about use gold nanoparticles for delivery of any drug. What you have linked to is completely different, using the gold itself as a treatment.

Damn it, that's the way round I intended!
I never say the complete opposite of what I mean.
Why not use probability average American will get killed in a car accident divided by probability they will be killed by a terrorist.
It gives a useful comparison, is verifiable and makes the danger level obvious to all.
Noun/Adjective inversion win!

But the appeal of games is they're not like real life. A game that emulated real life would be pretty boring (see also: The Sims).

It's simply amazing that they thought charging more for items than the game itself could make sense.
By 2020, nobody shall be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo
But what about those outside the Volvo?
Maybe you should stop using analogies that over-simplify things then? Oh wait, this is slashdot.

The FoI act allows to charge for formatting and delivery of the data, though it should only be the actual costs incurred.

Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Some was willing to pay a million dollars, therefore that's what it's worth.
