Attach a solar panel to a actively cooled compartment (mini-fridge or otherwise), and store your devices there. More complicated solutions include aerogel insulation and a battery to store extra charge.
Shouldn't be an issue, because if the sun isn't shining it probably isn't going to be as hot.
I'm more surprised that they own the IP in the first place. It's been 75 years since The Hobbit's release, the author is dead, and it's owned by some mega company?
Everything that's wrong with the IP system is right here.
Creationism doesn't always explain the diversity of life, it explains the origin of life (and the Universe). Evolution does not, at all.
Instead, it explains the diversity of life. Like why there are drug resistant strains of MRSA or why flowers produce nectar. A creationist may explain that, "God created them that way," but that's not necessarily the case. The god in question could be deistic, or theistic with minimal interference. He could have only created the first self-replicating molecule (also not evolution's realm) or created everything as it was yesterday, and we're none the wiser.
Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?
The medical community has known for some time that marijuana has adverse effects. For one reason or another, the pot smoking community seems to get all defensive and denies all allegations backed by science almost as fiercely as denial of global warming or evolution.
It would be nice to see more studies like this and see if these results can be replicated.
Lance is (or was) doping. Every top athlete is doping. Bolt, Phelps; they're dopers too (and I don't mean marijuana). That's just what it takes to be at that level unless you're a genetic freak.
Good genes and a great training/diet program can only take someone so far. There's a limit to how far the body can go before it starts to break down. Overuse injuries like tendinosis or rhabdomyolysis can and will occur if someone works too hard. And that's just what it takes to achieve that level of near superhuman ability: by working too hard. Forget anabolic steroids, that's rookie stuff. We're talking about chemicals that improve the body's ability to bounce back and keeps it from grinding to a halt from overuse.
And detection? Forget about it. There are more ways to hide doping than there are ways to discover it, and there is a lot of money being put into hiding it -- far more than is being put into detection. You'll be able to catch the guys that can't afford to hide it, but not the guys that really dish out the cash.
As far as Lance is concerned, don't strip his titles because some people have said he's been doping. That's hearsay bullshit, and not how justice works. Either get the proof -- REAL evidence -- or shut up and go back to whatever hole you climbed out of. The laughable part about them is that he actually went through 500 drug tests and came back clean. If you know someone is doping and able to hide it what do you think they're going to do once you start jamming drug tests down their throat? You think they're going to keep on with their same regimen? It's like having the police search a pothead's house a few hundred times and hoping this time they got careless. Come on, someone needs to get a thinking cap.
These royalties go to the correct respective artists/labels based on the actual songs. The media middleman does not deserve any profit or credit, as it is not the middleman's work that the consumers actually want.
Actually, the original map to do it was for Starcraft and called Aeon of Strife. It spawned an entire genre (called AoS) which spans popular titles like Smite, League of Legends, and Heroes of Newerth. And now Blizzard DotA and DotA 2. This may have never come to pass if some people sat down and made the first DotA with no monetary compensation. The entire industry is profiting from the work of a few modders.
Or I must be since I make maps and mods for video games. We are basically level and game designers (mostly amateur) who have a real passion for creating content and perhaps more importantly, creating good content. We're basically like a whole team of content designers that don't actually ask for anything in return but a handful of tools to help us do it. That's a small price to pay for the huge amount of content we can really churn out, note that the competitive maps that really made Starcraft what it is today were designed by us, not Blizzard.
Oh, and I'm skinny, live on the ground floor, and don't receive one cent from my parents.
You should watch some videos of people who have been to North Korea and video taped some of it. There's also a documentary about the more underground life.
It's absolutely terrible. I'd say it's like 1984, but at least in 1984 they had chocolate.
When OnLive first came out and said they could do this there was a shitstorm of, "it's scam, this is impossible." I was one of the few that told this vocal majority sit down and wait to see what they had to offer before they go making stupid unsubstantiated claims. Once the service arrived for people to play the naysayers were wrong, it did work. Not without some technical issues, but OnLive was working hard to solve them (like wireless networks).
What OnLive did was downright bloody incredible. They really pushed the limits of internet and business to try to make this a reality. Now you didn't have to have a top of the line PC to play games at a respectable FPS, you could just use OnLive. Not only this, but they began their game library began to expand and get quite a few respectable titles, and even managed to come out with a low monthly access fee for what turned out to be a pretty extensive list of games, considering what they were doing. This was, as I had believed, an incredible solution to piracy and hardware challenges at the same time.
So why am I hearing a bunch of crap about the latency and video compression? Stuff that, in my experience, really didn't seem to affect me -- the latency was something you just kinda got used to. All I hear is a bunch of bigots unwilling to admit that this company did something innovative and did it pretty damn well.
It makes me think when car phones came out a bunch of people complained about how it couldn't work/everywhere/ and with perfect quality. Do us a favor and come down from your pompous pedestal and maybe actually see that the company accomplished quite a bit.

I'd be more interested in how you know that statistic, frankly.
Middle East, eh?

But clearly they need those nuclear power plants to power all of those computers.
Where did I say I was "anti-pot"?
All I care about is good science.
Okay well here's the problem with that.

Bill Nye said kids shouldn't be taught that certain scientific theories are wrong. He never even said creationism, once.
This headline is just sensationalist garbage.
No.
You don't understand what you're talking about.

But of course, that's all lies and false propaganda right?
Marijuana addiction does exist in heavy users.
In a stroke of irony, Scientific American just posted an article on "digital natives" found here.
Now, who hasn't done their research?

That's melatonin not melanin. Melatonin regulated sleep.
How many of those people believe in an eternal afterlife?
I'm satisfied living forever. And then I get to choose my lifespan.
Is that what I said?
Flawless reading there.
Alexander Graham Bell called, he wants Apple to quit using his idea.

Oh you're right, people shouldn't know what their government is up to. What ever was I thinking?
They're not shutting down. Service isn't even going down.
