Only on Slashdot does an AC get modded Informative for pointing out that the LHC is in Europe.
Well, at least American know roughly where is Europe. Imagine, if it would have pointed out that the LHC is at the frontier France+Swiss...

Depending on the resistivity of the antenna, its length is N / 10^12 meters (or *3 in feet). For radio N is ~100. Thus a 100 nm length for a THz frequency.
Google plays a dangerous game. Ads competitors may call for "unfair competition", as their pages rate are going to be decreased by the Google algorithm.
In the future, Google may have to prove in front of a court that the algorithm is fair - maybe having experts from external companies doing the audit, taking the risk to give away the most protected program at Google: the heart of the algorithm.
Nevertheless an important issue is addressed here.
Software comes with the usual THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" disclaimer. Of course, when it comes to safety / security / health... one may want to get more than a disclaimer. But there are also (and still) devices where the poor programming (especially in the algorithms / intuitiveness departments) appears to be annoying for the user, while the device cannot be upgraded / updated (washing machines, pocket translaters, microwave, hi-fi...).
Maybe. The thing is no one knows for sure the effects of GM on human bodies, animal bodies, plant bodies and Evolution in general, over a long period of time.
Marie Curie discovered the radium (1898) and died of its poisoning (1934), unknown at the time.
Time will tell.
Retrospectively,
- in the eighties AIDS was said to be cured by 2000
- in the seventies nuclear plants were created, expecting all the technical uncertainties to be solved by 2000
not mentioning studies, novels, sci-fi movies that made an unsuccessful attempt to describe a world in a 30~50 years future
And they want to predict the world in 100 years from now?
BIND 9 was an almost total rewrite because BIND 8 was a horrible codebase, and in turn BIND 8 was an almost total rewrite because BIND 4 was so bad. So what makes them think BIND 10 will succeed?
Seriously, how the server is intended to be handled? Via the command prompt, and its clumsy, counter intuitive, error prone and awkward commands / bat language?
This is not a flamebait: coming from the unix shells, this is the impression I got during my work with command prompt and.bat.
Indeed, we need that. We need an important person, someone like Mr Bloomberg, to spend a year learning how to program, and in the end, realize
- that it was not as easy as expected
- what is our (real programmers) daily work like
This is what the political circle lacks anyway. Having a basic idea of what is our life, our real problems and constraints, in the real and concrete professional world.
A number of users reported that after installing Symantec anti-viruses their system was slower, could detect false-positives, or worse, hang.
So in a way, the "scareware" is not totally wrong, as it warns about a degraded system - which may well be the case after the full product is installed.
Slashdot Mirror
...the easier it is to promise
ACTA was signed by the US months ago. They were trying to pile SOPA on top of it.

I would like to know how the Fukushima 50 are doing
Fukushima 15 are (still) living a happy life with their family
Fukushima 25 are (still) living, at the hospital
what's supposed to be a stable, reliable release
Yeah I hope gnome 3 will still be available as an alternative
Europe is broke
This is a mistake to make an association between an economic failure (Spain) and the Linux choice.

you must go to iOS 5.0.1 RIGHT NOW and jailbreak or you won't get another chance until 5.1 is hacked
You could also keep 5.0.1 for as long as necessary, reject the 5.1 upgrade, and jailbreak when you wish. No hurry.

Despite the blurry images, one can appreciate the interior design and decoration. It didn't change much since my last visit.
The SOPA subject came on several occasions, and was discussed copiously here on /..
Adding another SOPA story would do better than a blackout.

Let me guess... Because BIND 9 is an awful code?
Exciting to think that LibreOffice has quite so much room for improvement
Sorry but removing the dead code is not really "room for improvement". It's rather "fix a code that lack(ed) a proper project management".

he was retired and had to have been at least 70, but he was brilliant and his analytical skills don't seem to have declined at all
The ability to learn new concepts is what is declining the more.
A not that brief history of time.
