Sounds like they were the target of 60 Minutes, Dateline, NYTimes, LATimes, etc. etc.
Funny how they have compunction about doing these things to people they are looking to publish a hit piece on but if someone turns the tables, they are "Shocked!"
Yeah. Ted Kennedy is a Republican. That's right. He's also a qualified Water Safety Instructor and certified in First Aid. Oh...and don't forget a highly skilled driver and a spokesman for some hugely successful weight loss scheme.
It is a Private institution; they own the computers and the network. If they want to block stuff, it's their prerogative. If it is enough of an impediment to learning, students and teachers will go elsewhere.
I suspect these laws are not being applied to everyone, otherwise a large number of Imams and other radical Islam devotees would be in jail. Inciting hatred and violence for them is a reflex.
...is that Science is as rife with corruption and politics as is government.
Some people would have the public believe that the Science establishment is a utopia of fact and reason, free of arbitrary influence or with decisions based on personal like or dislikes, or beliefs.
The real fact of the matter is that just like in government, if you are not in agreement with the majority, you are punished. Your career can be ruined, grants evaporate, and getting published is close to impossible. What's worse, just being mistaken in your conclusions, or methods can send perfectly respectable "Scientists" into exile for years.
I don't know that anyone should be eager to exchange one set of close minded, money grubbing, empire building fools for slightly better educated close minded, money grubbing, empire building fools.
...have spy satellites. That's why operations at some U.S. military installations are restricted to night, or, to times when their satellites are not overhead.
On a separate note, it would be a shame to let the lack of "clean" generation of electricity impede the creative use of systems that employ electricity. It would become a chicken or the egg scenario. If someone does come up with a way to store that much power and can take a charge as fast as the story indicates, then you can bet someone will come up with a way to safely deliver that charge.
"Didn't Maryland just a bit too quick to adopt electronic voting" "Doesn't the computer at your desk ever freeze up on you?" "But surely people in your office have had that experience?"
These are combative, accusatory, and ineffective questions which is typical of today's media.
How about this... "In hindsight and in view of all of the reported problems with electronic voting, do you think Maryland made the right decision to adopt electronic voting when it did?"
The reporter had an agenda. And TFA reveals no clues as to whether it is an opinion piece or straight reporting. Either way, it revealed no new information and as far as news goes was totally useless.
Under what circumstances could legitimate civil or criminal action be initiated against RIAA for abusing the legal process? Legitimate meaning having a good chances of success.
They are electric motors attached to ducted fan assemblies.
In the RC propulsion industry, they have highly optimized the electric motors and the blade designs to produce the most amount of thrust on the smallest amount of power, since these are battery powered.
Of course, HP is modifying the fan design to optimize the pressure which is apparently different from thrust.
BTW, they do actually have small, gas turbines (small as in less than 12" long) that work just like a large gas turbine. They can power model planes to very high speeds. They don't see much use due to the extreme heat they put out and the cost. If you crash you jet into just about anything, you are almost guaranteed to have a fire.
If two people have 1 meg connections, and they exchange a file, the exchange should take place at 1 meg rate, all conditions being perfect.
If a company buys bandwidth to accommodate 100 people downloading content a 1 meg each (the speed the customers paid for), and can deliver the data to the ISP at that rate, then each customer, given perfect conditions, should be able to receive the content at a 1 meg rate.
Any slowdown in delivery could actually be considered to be stealing of bandwidth by the provider and/or carriers.
There are some people who say there is no global warming.
Then there are those that say there is Global Warming and that we need to understand it completly, which means more research and calm, rational, scientific debate that includes all resaonable opinions.
Then there are those who say there is Global warming now, that it will kill us all soon, and if you don't agree, you are stupid, a stooge of industry, on someone's payroll, or just plain evil. Oh, and that it's all the fault of the U.S. and President Bush.

What crap.
I don't know that what has gone on here on Slashdot can be called debating. More like shouting down and name calling.

If he were around today, he would be considered a "jingoist pro-war politician". Oh, one more thing, he launched the Manhattan Project.

So I guess Apple will again be out of business by the end of the year. I bet they get tired of packing and unpacking.

Or, you could just get out of CA...worked for me!
I'm sure that will change their minds. You should teach a course in debate!
Can we say "nucelar"?

Thanks Mods. I can die happy now.
Now, how come I don't get an Insightful when I call people idiots?
Not that anyone is going to be reading this post since it's so late, but...
Any social commentary by Rolling Stones magazine is about as balanced and objective as Pravda.
Anything by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is about as rational as..as...well, he's about as irrational as they come.
And as for the election...democrats invented election fraud.

Someone will figure a way to link it to Global Warming.
We can't have facts that disagree with the GWReligion mucking things up now can we?

It would seem to me that perhaps by buying up these patents, they are protecting themselves from a Blackberry type debacle.

CBS...now there's an authoritative and non-baised source.
Funny how they can always talk to these gagged scientists.
Wouldn't it be funny to install SETI At Home on this?
