I wouldn't be so sure. Spy tech evolves pretty fast. I don't see any reason someone would want to use a 20 year old camera in orbit, difficult to reach and not designed for reuse, instead of launching a new one that's better. Any money you save on not launching a new satellite is spent on your repair mission instead, and it's a lot more effort to end up with something less capable.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to "collect" a satellite? Sure' we've gotten quite good at rendezvousing with a specific object in a single orbit, but once you're there, it's incredibly difficult to dismantle and reuse materials. We have plenty of expertise in manipulating things that were designed to be repaired, and even in improvising repairs that weren't expected, but to build something new from old parts and materials would be something else entirely.
Plus, even if you had some incredible repair/recycle mission worked out, all you've done is removed one single piece of space junk. Moving on to another would likely require a large change in your orbit, at which point your fuel margin vanishes quickly. Thus, you'd need nearly as many launches as there are satellites already up there to get everything. Good luck finding the funds and manpower.
If you read between the lines, it seems likely they actually had other attacks planned in Boston, and decided on New York after the realizing the FBI was close to IDing them. Otherwise they would have skipped town long before those pictures were released. Your point obviously still stands, though.
It's funny. Here in Boston a lot of buzz seems to be around people waking up to the fact that the answer to these sorts of attacks is to go on with life and not be terrorized. Too bad Bloomberg hasn't gotten that memo.
I agree. Imagine someone stalking ex-girlfriends using omnipresent publicly-accessible cameras. Or planning a robbery with a partner monitoring cameras to tip him off when the police are responding. Maybe your workplace has someone checking cameras and asking why you went out to lunch after calling in sick. The correct response to Big Brother is not to give him more siblings.
If ICANN were actually managing this crap sanely it wouldn't be that hard to share. No reason that conservation.amazon and shopping.amazon couldn't both exist under different ownership.
Because neutrinos don't interact much, there are very few ways for them to release their kinetic energy, even when there is a lot of it.
Neutral refers to the fact that neutrinos don't interact electromagnetically. They also don't interact via the strong force, and gravitational interaction of anything on this scale is negligible (although neutrinos are believed to have very small but nonzero masses). That leaves only weak nuclear interactions, which happened to occur twice in this detector.
If antimatter galaxies were common, then we'd see collisions between matter and anti-matter galaxies which would be radically different and more energetic than the collisions we do see.
Sure, but that's not relevant. We have chosen to label the stuff that dominates our universe as matter because it's what we saw first. Ultimately though it's just a name. We could call them this-matter and that-matter and the physics wouldn't change.
If there were large pockets of matter and anti-matter in different places, then there would be boundaries between them where annihilations are frequent. We observe no such boundaries.
So thank a private business for the initial video of the suspects, and thank an "ordinary" citizen for the observation that led to the second suspect's capture.
Of course, also thank the FBI for identifying the suspects (rather than the misidentification by private citizens and some news organizations), and all the law enforcement officers putting their lives on the line today.
Actually my recollection is that he often deliberately bets against his favored hypotheses so that in case he's wrong he still gets some reward. Hedging his bets with the universe, as it were.
I don't know for sure on cell service, but there's a whole lot of other outdated information in that article. Specifically, the fire at the jfk library is now known to be unrelated, and law enforcement officials have stated that no undetonated devices were found.
The counterargument to that is the danger of increasing uniformity. If everyone is using the same algorithms then they're all sensitive to the same potential biases and mistakes, whereas individual recruiters' biases will tend to cancel each other out over the population of a large company. If all companies were using the same algorithms, then any mistakes in the algorithm would mean that certain people might not be able to find a job anywhere.

A light mist on earth hits pretty hard at 34,000 MPH. All you're doing is adding more debris and exacerbating the problem.

Still not as bad as the Quirky post from yesterday.

You obviously don't know many people under 30
Sounds great to me!

Humans use their noodles to make robots that make noodles used by humans.
I think that was his brother, and he was diced, not squished. I don't have a pun for that though.
That's why it's so nice when they air the press conferences with government and law enforcement officials who know what's going on.

I always find these stories really confusing. Weston was the next town over.

Exactly! Wait for the first adopters, or "gamma testers", to demonstrate that something is actually safe to use.
