Just because harvesting of RF energy is a legitimate field does not mean that this product is genuine.
Or to give you a car analogy, just because internal combustion engines are used to drive cars does not mean that you can run a 4 litre V8 engine at full power and get 100 miles to the gallon.
Libertarian market driven approaches of 'perfectly informed' customers having access to 'flexible supply' are only workable on paper.
I think that the obvious rebuttal of this Libertarian argument is GM and the ignition switch issue(*). When companies have all the power to disseminate information about their products there can never be an informed customer.
* Or the Ford Pinto where the cost of law suits was balanced against the cost of fixing an issue.
There was a story last week about how extroverts would be the worst possible people to have along on a multi-month trip to mars in a very small spaceship. That is something that introverts are better suited for doing.
From Washington Post: Native Americans have won at this stage before, in 1999.
I heard discussion on the radio today, that while the 1999 action went one way, that there has been a change in public perception and that doesn't mean it will go the same way again this time.
Of course I was also listening to a talk radio guy who was claiming that this case is all about the government in Washington deliberately creating a mini-crisis in order to deflect public attention away from the real issues in DC. Seriously.
A few weeks ago a couple of characters in Doonesbury were looking for a new slogan for their company. Their choice was: "Don't be Google". This stuff just adds more weight to their decision.
All over the country? The Barcade website lists 3 locations. NY, Philly and New Joisy. So has the country reverted to the original colonies, or do you mean "Barcade like" locations?
Why the fuck the TFS quotes a source from Phys.org, when you can straight to QUT and get THEIR press release Super bananas – world first human trial (which has a lot more detail)
once you start adding sweeteners and dairy products
Americans don't add dairy products. Instead they add this thing called "creamer" for which I have no idea how it relates to a cow.
Plus, given that the nostalgic view that Americans as a culture have with regards to coffee revolves around brownish sludge in a piece of glassware that wouldn't look out of place in a laboratory; I'm not even sure they're starting with coffee.
Feedfliks was more useful. For example, you could see which movies were going to expire and when, which might influence which movies you watch first. Then Netflix took the expiration dates away.
I never heard of FeedFliks, so I went and looked at it. And then wondered why do I need someone else to tell me about how I use Netflix? Or to tell my friends what I like watching?
Reagan delivered his end and then fixes promised never happened.
Tricked or not, Reagan must have thought at the time that giving amnesty was a reasonable thing to do. You don't bargain a point that is abhorrent to your core beliefs.
What with the insane situation we have at the border right now...
Say what you will about our immigration policy... say what you will about the politics... it looks very bad for people supporting amnesty right now simply because there looks to be a free for all at the border.
The ironic thing is that on Brat's website he lauds Reagan - a president who signed into law amnesty for about 3 million illegals.
Because, as it so happens, Golden Age is not to her taste. Now, did you have anything useful to add? No? Then kindly STFU.
So the relationship is superfluous to question. But we don't/can't know that from your submission. Thus you WILL get a bunch of replies saying ask your partner, and given that the question reads like a relationship advice request ("what can I do to understand my partners interests?") you will get a bunch of replies like the OP, especially given that/. is slowly dying (and I bet net craft can confirm it) and people are trying to hold onto the tech side of things rather than the crap(*) that is being promulgated as submissions.
* Not saying that your submission is crap, just that it is badly worded (especially for this audience.)
If Snowden is a "whistleblower", why did he release so much material about things the NSA does which are not illegal?
So what are you insinuating here? That because he released non-ilegal things that Snowden was not a whistle blower? And therefore he should be prosecuted?
That line of thinking smells a lot like a logical fallacy.
And anyway, did Snowden release the documents himself, or was it the journalists that he passed them on to?
My unlocked, prepaid, 6 year old RAZR works perfectly well as a cell phone all over the world (with local SIM). And I don't have to worry about roaming charges or data plans.
Australia also has a significantly higher cost of living and a significantly higher average wage in most industries than the USA. It's not fair to compare them side by side without taking this into account.
I'm not going to deny that, but what I was trying to highlight is that minimum wage/unemployment rate is not a direct causation.
Slashdot Mirror
ok, WHY is it disingenuous? What about their claims don't make sense then? They plan to make a product that is clearly possible, so why is it a scam?
Take a look at the google doc. It has a lot of technical information as to why the claims of *this* kickstarter project are suspect.

So don't be Google!
Barcade is wildly successful all over the country

Isn't the banana population under serious threat because of monoculture?
That maybe so in western culture, but somehow I don't think that the banana being used here "The Highland or East African cooking banana" is affected.

Arch Linux does not provide the proper mission critical robustness and quality assurance. There's a reason why RHEL does not target the bleeding edge.
And do you know what else it doesn't do? It doesn't allow you to play buzzword bingo!

GoDaddy should stick to their core competency of strippers, pole dancing and parties(*) rather than this internet thing.
* Well thats the impression I get from their ads.

Given that lots of animals are sensitive to magnetic fields, this would also seem to explain them reacting prior to earthquakes.
