I know very little about aviation design, other than the vacuum effect of wings. I'm curious why these solar powered electric planes are glider design rather than flying wing design? It would seem you could get more useful cargo space for batteries and significantly more lift surface.
Printing from these things is fine and dandy, but I really need to send a fax from one. That's a technology we just can't live without.

This is so much better than 3D technology. It's even better than high definition video. This is actually the process of creating better images. I am actually really excited about this!
A) People skills. You HAVE to be able to work with other people. There is nothing in 'information technology' that does not require you to operate in a collective. The point of IT is making hardware and software communicate to allow people to communicate. This starts with people communicating without technology or with prior technology and most certainly includes you. The people hiring you to provide IT services require that you are capable of communicating well with them and with others associated to the project. This is not language alone. It includes understanding, compassion, and the ability to stand your ground when you know you are right.
B) The skill of acquiring new information, knowledge, abilities and skills that pertain to completing the task at hand. Staying relevant is what keeps a person or business alive.
What people need to change is their accusatory nature, not their name. If someone can't let go of something I did when I was 17 years old now that I'm in my 30s then fuck them. I don't need them in my life anyway.
I wouldn't go so far as to say I was ever severe, but I definitely had a real tough time until I began taking medication in grade school - tantrums and depression and such. I was well aware of what was happening and that it was actually a good thing for me. But I also didn't like the concept of needing drugs to be 'normal'. It never sat well with me. So some days I would take my medicine and some days I wouldn't. Over time I learned what it took for me to be able to perform my daily tasks to completion and be happy with my work. Before high school I had stopped taking it completely, though probably should have kept with it in some milder form.
I'm still rather easily distracted, and sometimes have trouble getting things done, but I'm pretty smart, fun, and have a pretty kick ass job. You are aware he's a smart kid, but I bet he's got a lot more to show, if he can just learn to control his thoughts long enough to invent the next multi-billion dollar product, or cure world problems.
A: [in form of a question] Is it in anyway a part of the internet, including being on your own computer in your own home, which is connected to the internet? If yes, then no.
Hell, even if I don't have a Facebook account and someone takes a pictures of me and uploads it to Facebook and tags it with my name then the internet knows what I look like. Privacy is a joke.
On the other hand, perhaps there's a market in creating false identities for people as a false data internet flood. As a business they would sign up for popular social networks with your name and upload a variety of pictures claiming to be you, with routine updates about things you're not actually doing. They could use their client list to 'friend' each other and build a nice false society. If someone on the internet ever posted true or factual information or pictures about you it would be considered less reliable due to the voluminous FUD being provided by the company hired to provide false information, and therefor discarded.
I don't know about merging stop and yield signs, but red lights should be treated as stop signs. I would venture a guess that many people run red lights because they know if they stop they'll be sitting there an aggravatingly long time. But if they can stop at a red light, look left and right, then go, they'll probably be more willing to stop rather than punch it.
Except that they dumb down the curriculum and give enough class / course options that anyone should be able to get at least a B in their selected or assigned courses, if they apply themselves AT ALL.
Well, whether or not they're connected, your recorded lack of payment on rented movies could show up on a credit score which the telco referenced as reason for you to not pay telephone bills and denied your application.
I think the zero legal music / tv / movie files can be attributed to those types of files that are legal to distribute are usually just done so by http or ftp servers. They don't get put into a torrent type download system.
I'm not surprised that 4% of the files were being downloaded by 80% of the community. I bet the #1 file was being downloaded by more than 50% of the community. Individuals can, and often do, download more than one file at a time.
A lot of people are commenting that it's not worth it to use as a computing device. I'm not sure I completely agree, but lets say for a moment that they're right.
What do you do with that industrial strength case?
That thing is a serious piece of metal. And there's a LOT of it.
What happened to cellphones with protruding antenna? Other than having it jab me in the crotch when I put the phone in my pocket I never had an issue with such a phone.
Most modern blenders have protective lockouts so that the blade won't spin if the pitcher is not attached. Though you could still reach down inside the pitcher to destroy your hand at least the kitchen wouldn't get as bloody. The iPhone 4 offers no such protection.
Get all the mad you want - it won't do any good. They're providing a service that you can't get anywhere else and people are paying their prices so they have no reason to change.
DSLR does not mean "detachable lens". It means "Digital Single Lens Reflex", or "digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera".
In fact, it has nothing to do with detachable lenses. That is a completely different technology, which just happens to be commonly (but not universally) paired with (D)SLR hardware. Nor is the mechanical mirror or pentaprism contained in the lens. The SLR mechanism(s) are in the camera body, which clearly do not exist in the iPhone nor the mount that the phone and lens(es) are attached to.
What this device provides is simply detachable lenses for the iPhone camera system. Detachable lens camera systems have been available for non-SLR cameras for quite some time.
This horribly wrong use of technical terms really should not be showing up on the site that proclaims itself as "news for nerds, stuff that matters".
That's cool and all, but what I really want is a way to block certain sites and content from search results and "delink" them from pages. For Google it would be a maintained list of -site: switches, and for general sites it would be the removal of the anchor tag when targeting a site in the same list of sites. Probably a Grease Monkey script would be the easiest route, but I'm better at making Slashdot comments than I am at making scripts, so here I am.
Why do they use bars at all? Why don't they use numbers? I suspect it has something to do with early phones and a little dedicated LCD space of bars was cheaper than a full numerical display, but we're well beyond that now.

I love new features! I love new features with an off switch even more!

I for one ... am scared! This shit is nightmare inducing! Kill it with fire!

Some peace of mind for you ...

Most people I hear from really enjoy working for Microsoft. It's their customers who are angry with them :)

Sheeple.

And as my failing memory serves, the signal was consistently better.

Supply. Demand.

I guess it was a bit poopy.
One of the greatest episodes of any show ever.
