You know, I was speaking to my colleagues just the other day, "I wish I could do more with my emails." I've always found macros in Word documents such a liberating tool in my life and now, Google has empowered me with AMP! Now I can combine my insipid, pointless emails will all kinds of useless, dynamic crap as well.
Why large swathes of the desert? What about all the roof space in cities? Say a 3kw system per house, millions of houses means gigawatts of power. Industrial roofing, malls, office blocks, you could build a superstructure over car parks to support panels, all that is a very large space.
A spokesperson for Springer Nature, which publishes more than 3,000 journals, said the plan "potentially undermines the whole research publishing system."
The reason Microsoft received few *federal* penalties was because the Bush administration withdrew from the prosecution and settled: United States v. Microsoft Corp. Many states did impose penalties separately.
Refraction networking certainly makes it very difficult but not impossible to intercept comms. Would it not be possible to 'mandate' the use of a govt-sponsored root certificate on browsers? They could then do man-in-the-middle decryption at the router level. This would require a massive effort, but then the Great Firewall is pretty massive.
I had one of those - the 1KB model. It has a 20 char, 1 line LED screen, a 20 char thermal printer and a small keyboard attached with a ribbon cable. My engineer uncle gave it to me. Got a print out of the assembler for adventure, the early cave garme, and typed it in (no cassette storage).
It isn't so much about a new power plant, it is the cost of another interconnector to the eastern states. There are currently two and the system wasn't stable when one was taken out by tornadoes (or maintenance). Another one comes in at AU$500 million to $1 billion at the cheapest.
Sure, most people learn, but what he is saying is that some percentage do not learn and that is enough to allow a security breach. No matter how small a percentage - all it takes is one. We had such a person - time and again they would click on malware links, after warnings, explanations, etc. One day their spouse emailed them saying there was thus and such a phishing email out and not to click on it (I guess this happened at home as well), and still they clicked on it. Fortunately, they left to plague some other company when they were pressured too much. Sure, an egregious example, but there is always someone that makes this mistake.
The summary says Langdon has patented a 'new strain' he has been growing for the past 15 years. The strains aren't new in the plant breeding sense, they are existing natural strains of the seaweed grown in isolation, here is the patent. I fail to see what is patentable here; just a description of various naturally occurring strains of dulse and their comparative growth rates. So, if I were to collect the seaweed from the Pacific coast and 'isolate' the same strains, I'd be infringing a patent? What a joke.
You shouldn't feel guilt about thwarting Google displaying the ads.
You should maybe feel a teensy bit of guilt over the fact that you are using an ad-supported site which derives its revenue from displaying Google ads to its visitors, in lieu of a subscription fee.
Google should maybe feel a teensy bit of guilt over the fact that it is using government infrastructure and services which derive from tax imposed on corporations [and citizens], in lieu of a subscription fee.
I remember when I was a kid we had two basset hounds, mother and son. The son wasn't too bright. They would both get a bone, the mother would eat hers quickly and the son would doddle. She would then rush at the gate, barking furiously (at no one). The son would run up and start barking too. The mum would then double back and get his bone.
Fair enough, she wasn't using sonar but it was "competitive interference among individuals of the same species."
Not the point. Nothing to do with competition. With competition there would more likely be provision for people with low paying jobs or none through lower prices.
Why aren't they going after terrorists? We all need to sacrifice to defeat terrorism, and if it means compromised systems and stripped bank accounts, well, that is the price we all have to pay.
OK, I'll bite - so just because other countries abuse people's rights, that makes the abuse of the US courts and government OK? The point is: most other countries abusing such rights don't hypocritically pretend to be "the land of the free." Except the UK, of course. Once this may have been true for the US but that time has long gone.

Yes, but the "in layman's terms" statements themselves could be construed as deceptive/misleading. I don't know that there is an escape from this.

Uh, GMO: Genetically Modified Organism. Meat is not an organism. There is no genetic manipulation required in tissue culture. Does that help?
Why don't they just dehydrate the bottled water. Saves a lot on shipping...
So, how much more heat does a wind turbine create compared with say the wind blasting against a rock face?
uh, that would be the point...

OK, so governors sign orders barring interference in network traffic. So what happens if the carriers call their bluff and do it anyway?

doesn't duckduckgo use bing as its backend search engine?
So, a business is going to survive the loss of 30-90 days of work?

yeah, I find myself saying "du -sk /var/log/* | sort -n | tail -20" all the time now....

So, Elsevier has an astroturf program?

And, yes, Snowden is a patriot.

malwarebytes (imply that they) reported this on 30 August. Did they report it to Google?
Nearly 3 weeks till it was shutdown on the 19th. That's a hell of a lot of malware getting dished out.

That is fine once or twice but you can't keep bothering them. Also some can be pretty unreliable ;-)
