Microsoft saved $12 going with DDR3. Granted this is much less than they expected, but they still saved money. So why is the XBone $100 *more*? The Kinect. The Kinect is what is killing them.
Because building plumbing is built on the assumption that street water pressure levels are a certain figure. Decrease the water pressure and you find you have a lot of buildings in which the top floor doesn't get less water--it gets *no* water.
He should have loaded the stolen GCHQ data files onto an Android and fired them into space in an escape pod. I'm sure he'd have been arrested for that, but it's also likely that someone would try and rescue him.
Well, that gives a whole new meaning to Time To Live...
Ah, so now instead of squinting at tiny buttons...

A New Car UI

· Score: 1
...you have to search for where the UI has moved the control *this* time. Or cope with having hit the wrong control because the UI guessed wrong about which control you wanted. Much better, I'm sure.
Might work, too. There's been some signs that China may be getting a little tired of the shit North Korea is constantly stirring up. Not that China isn't above that sort of thing themselves (airspace over the Senkakus, anyone?), but North Korea's antics aren't getting them anything but pain.
Sounds to me like a somewhat garbled rendering of Velikovsky's crackpot theories. Venus, incidentally, does not have a retrograde orbit; it orbits the Sun in the same direction as every other planet. It does have a retrograde *rotation*: unlike the other planets, it rotates in the oppposite direction from its orbit.
Being horrified by NAT is all well and good, but the fact is, ISPs look at the horrible bandaids that work 80% of the time and say, "Good enough. Now I don't have to rebuild my entire infrastructure for IPv6." You may want something that works 100% of the time, but the people who own the equipment don't want to *pay* for something that works 100% of the time.
Are you/the article saying that it is possible to have a single connection to your ISP, but for every computer, fridge, toaster, TV, etc. to have its own global IP address?
Yes, that is exactly how IPv6 is supposed to work.
Your ISP can give you a block of dynamic/static IP addresses, which your router assigns instead of 192.168.1.X?
Possibly, but not necessarily even that. You could be set up to simply automatically generate IPv6 addresses from your MACs, and the ISP doesn't even explicitly grant you an address block.
The original is a science documentary from over forty years ago. It holds up astonishingly well, but an update to the current state of the art is undoubtedly called for. The problem is, that's not the only change they'll make.
Because Lord knows, if you're not being presented with a change of subject every 30 seconds, you'll get bored. Of all the things I'm afraid of with a new Cosmos, this ranks first. There's no chance it will have the majestic pace of the original.
You laugh, but yes, those are used as actual arguments. The fact that the universe seems to have a finite resolution is seen as particularly significant.
I can understand that this is too expensive over long distances, but in cities and small towns?
In cities and small towns...it can be even more expensive. Digging things up to lay power lines is expensive anywhere, and it only gets worse if you have to do it somewhere that already built up. And instead of losing power to snow, you get to lose power to floods, to faulty cabling (tougher to inspect power cables underground), to some idiot with a backhoe...

Of course they don't. The police do that. The NSA just requests the records when they need them.

There's lots more, but that'll do for starters.

Actually, in case of famine, meat's generally the first thing to go. Meat is expensive, vegetables are cheap.

Trurl and Klapaucius will arrive shortly.

So how, exactly, are you proposing to represent a 128-bit value in a format that only accomodates 40 bits?

Funny you should ask that. I have Cosmos on DVD and I'm currently rewatching it right now. Great stuff.
On the other hand, this might well fit in a ration pack, and really would be handy for defending your beef stew...
Or maybe it's all just A Bunch of Rocks.

No, I get the impression that there are a lot of people making a living by peddling the impression that our civilization is doomed.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have done one for Physics.
That rather depends on the school's admittance policies, doesn't it?
It's #1 in PageRank and Katz's index, #3 in Indegree centrality, What the hell is it? I went there, and I *still* don't know what it is.
