Actually, I wonder if the temperature could change the outcome. Obviously frozen blood would result in a draw, but I wonder if certain people's blood carries an advantage at lower temperatures and vice versa.
But, it says it happened 5.6 miles from the transmitter, it almost certainly means the article is completely confused. Which if true, means GPS IS NOT BEING JAMMED. PERIOD. For them to be that close to a transmitter means they are in space, which simply isn't likely. Likely, they are talking about WAAS, which is not GPS in of itself.
They were talking about distance from the (simulated) Lightsquared 4G transmitter, not the GPS satellites. Airplanes are very often within 5.6 miles of a cell tower, and with "40,000 high-power transmitters close to the GPS frequency, across the United States," you can bet that airplanes will routinely be much closer to the real transmitters (especially near cities/airports).
Airplanes (commercial and private) utilize GPS for navigation -- and according to TFA, one such device experienced "Loss of Fix in Open Sky" 5.6 miles from the transmitter.
Now try to make them last through a couple years of normal use without errors.
Are you using them for swap space?
I think many people would define "normal use" as filling up the card (pictures, video) followed by downloading the contents to a computer. Erase, repeat. With that sort of usage pattern, I've never had any problems.
I wonder if people have a different definition of what it means to curse at a computer. Personally, I don't often swear at my computer per se, but I do direct my curses to stupid websites, Flash, broken packages, etc. I think I'd only consider it swearing at my computer proper if I have an issue with the hardware (though I might consider cursing at bootloaders or drivers to be cursing "at my computer").
I had a take-home final where the prof basically said, "you can consult with any inanimate object to help with this final." Someone said, "so, we can use the internet, but not a dog?" at which point the prof said, "well, unless your dog has a decent grasp of quantum mechanics, I don't think the dog would help anyway."
It was an interesting strategy, and I actually learned a lot by reading through relevant papers. So long as the problems are obscure enough, there's really no way you can cheat (aside from working off of other students) -- at best you can find a paper which steers you in the right direction, and that's a Good Thing in terms of finishing the final and learning...win-win, in my opinion.
Seems to me that a reasonable strategy would be to use a date-based version (I'm not an Ubuntu fanboy, but I think their numerical version system is fairly intelligent).
In this way, the version number could be an apples-apples comparison across browsers. It does make radical new features somewhat less obvious, I guess, as the "major version number" would likely just be the year.
"The policy is said to only affect the top 5% of data users on the network."
So, if every data customer bands together and chips in an additional ~5.3% of their plan to buy "dummy" plans, they can then set up these 5% of phones to waste ungodly amounts of bandwidth, guaranteeing that these dummy plans get throttled, thereby saving the remaining real users from experiencing any throttling.
My only problem with this is relying on connectivity to use a piece of software that doesn't require online functionality, for example a unit converter...
Well, units can change with time (especially if you count currency as a unit).
Not to mention that catapults are all but medieval.
I'd say that launching rotten tomatoes in a catapult would be mid-evil. Launching pillows would be low-evil, and launching nails and rocks hi-evil. But that's just me.
Your friends with somebody who you don't really know (like an ex-classmate) and therefore forget their name when the photo is shown to you.
I'm sure they could show pictures based on activity. Do you write on this person's wall often? Do you comment on their photos, etc.? If so, then there's a reasonable chance that you know what the person looks like.

Convergence and focus are not linked. If they were, then one-eyed people would be unable to focus.
This seems wrong on a number of levels...not the least of which is that there's a huge difference between disagreement (focus depth disagreeing with convergence depth) and lack of information (convergence depth unavailable). Would you find it easier to walk in the dark, or walk (eyes open) with inverted vision?

Having a cellphone in your watch that lasts all week without charging will be very handy.
Actually, I think it would be very wristy.
I'll be here all week!

But I've heard the controllers have awesome force-feedback.

Or Slackware math (source page.)
For the record, I'm not hating on Slack -- I used it on my ancient (even at the time) laptop all through college, and it never let me down.

Seriously, is this actually an improvement?
And when the guy holding it gets bored, reception in the nearest pub probably becomes fantastic!
Are the coordinates available? I'd enjoy seeing the primary source, such as it is.

I'm sure that's not a ToS violation...

Not a problem for my Vic 20 or my Linux powered Acer Aspire REVO Nettop.
Fullscreen flash, on the other hand, probably is ;)
Uh the question is hypothetical, so your point is exactly what?
Probably that the new /. hogs bandwidth...
In addition, the VW is quite complex even when it comes to a simple oil or a timing belt change.
Don't know about the timing chain, but the fan belt seems easy enough to change...

It's great to see diesel-electric hybrid technology reach the consumer market so quickly!
In all seriousness though, this is very neat stuff (and I'm sure someone will point out how my submarine reference is totally inapplicable...).
Buy a CB radio ;)
