All they really need is to alter a few words in sentences depending on who is accessing the document.
I wonder which thread this article came from and who is going to be nailed to the barn door for it.
I seriously wonder at the sense of telling people you are going to do something - this just forewarns them, if you are going to leak, put the words together by your own interpretation. But if the whole concept of the potential leak is bollox then even scrambling a few words won't be enough to hide where the leak comes from.
and according to my sources, NASA have developed a new balloon using nanotubes capable of entering Low Earth Orbit! Zowie!!!
Currently the finding of the Higgs particle is just that it confirms that the theories are correct and that a new platform has been established. This means that they will continue the same track.
But I don't think that this will cause new ways to blow things up - you may need something bigger than the CERN accelerator to make things happen.
But if someone later determines that this wasn't the Higgs particle but another unpredicted particle type then the current model will fall and some new model has to be created.
Atomic bombs are soooo 1960's - the modern way to wipe out humanity is with bio-engineering of custom plagues.
Honestly. The hype on this Higgs-Boson quest is reaching nauseating levels. It's cool, but what of it? Will it give us world peace? Will it deliver flying cars? What about donuts? Doesn't anyone think about donuts anymore?!?
they were using Windows 95 to control the display?
I think even Microsoft will avoid direct blame in this one. Expect 11 months of finger pointing, half-assed investigation, incriminations, recriminations, punishment of the innocent and promotion of non-participants.
Any accountant want to explain exactly what "wrote off" means?
Granted a unit might not be making as much profit as desired, but does this mean they gutted the whole thing, sold the desks, and gave the chairs to Steve Ballmer?
They're devaluing their initial investment.. as a result of, once again, not having a clue what they are doing.
If Microsoft hadn't a near monopoly (at one time) their repeated failures would harbinge writing down their core business and eventually failing.
Sorry, 'bug'? Isn't that a bit like saying a behavioural 'bug' caused Facebook to kick my grandmother in the shin? (Which I don't doubt they would do if there was money in it.)
I'm under the impression it was originally planned to replace all your contacts email addresses with the new and improved friendxyz@facebook.com email addresses.. so they can, you know, route all of your email and use it for harvesting yet more information from you.
Maybe I am being overly optimistic, but 14.2cm in 80 years doesn't exactly seem so bad (or even 32.2cm for that matter). Surely cities that are going to be effected will have ample time to relocate those in "danger".
Too right. Let's move them into the last Indian reservations.
Exactly where would you propose we move tens of millions of people? Not only Florida and low areas of the Eastern Seaboard, but gulf coast and low lands of Texas, right up to Houston are at risk.

Not only is there no evidence that these meters are harmful, but the effect of radio frequency exposure upon living tissue (approximatly none) is well-studied and understood. These radiophobes have about as much scientific respectability as the anti-vaxers, homeopaths and creationists. They are a parody of science.
Welllll.. dang
So what am I now to do with 300,000 square yards of aluminum foil?
Over the past few years we really have seen the collapse of "convergence." Instead of one thing that does everything, companies have been more apt to sell us a Katamari Damacy-esque ball of appliances that talk to each other over protocols, collaborating with dumb devices, providing redundant services to smart ones, cacheing, mirroring, and smarting-up things that everyone thought would be wholly replaced.
One the one hand, no one company or consortium was ever able to get in a position where they could make a play to replace so many things at once with one thing. In the other, miniaturization hasn't lead to a world with few, small, expensive, super-powerful devices that do everything, but to many, tiny, cheap, marginally smart devices, tailored to specific ends.
I actually prefer establishing the level of competency of each device I carry - GPSr has to be near best in class (of consumer oriented), phone can be dumb as a rock, I only make calls (sometimes even take calls) and camera has to suit what I'm shooting - if I require so-so, I take the Olympus FE-47, if they have to be great or require telephote, I take the DSLR. If I wanted best in class of everything, well, the prices would be astounding.
just a sec, I just read the news on my Canon 7D mk II and need to make a phone call on it.
I get mocked when I show up with my magical Backpack o' Holding (it weighs 2 lbs, add 5 lbs of stuff and it magically weighs 15 lbs all together) with a camera, a phone, a GPSr, a dozen charged and ready NiMH cells, and get the old "Ho ho ho, still lugging around a lot of individual dedicated devices, rather than an all-in-one whizzy iDoodad"
Well, with this Google is going back in my direction so the clod is on the other hopper now!

My reality is a wonderful reality, care to visit?
Not really. With an ego that size it's probably pretty cramped in there.
Not only that, it's full of his relatives .. you've heard of his Theory of Relatives, right?

Personally I would love to have some Higgs sprinkles, for a more weighty donut that fills me up too.
Have you considered Lard Lad? He's the Bottom Line in Donuts!
I get my Hoverboard that's been long overdue!

We will find a way to blow stuff up with it. It's humanity's specialty, after all.
More likely it'll feature in some diet pharma ploy - Reduce Your Mass With New Higgs-Boson Removing Creme!
The way you float around the room, I'd say you've lost a few Higgs-Bosons, Honey!

They're as good at positioning and marketing in the mobile information technology market as Microsoft is in the on-line advertising market.

Time to unload all that beachfront property. 32cm is like, over 12 inches. That's gonna be noticeable.
A-ha! I own the property just behind yours! I'm that much closer to having beachfront property!
I once opened a fortune cookie to read: You'll make your home in the mountains and by the sea.
I didn't realize it meant at the same time.
Serves you right. You let all those New Yorkers in and bad things happen....
Hope all those gators can adapt to a life at sea...
Imagine the frist time you meet someone in a nightclub with leds under their skin...

I don't understand how a Nexus Q is going to replace all of those (or even any) devices that you listed. ?
Don't you see? It adds to them!
... it requires another Android device (phone or tablet, say) as a remote control.
I could through my head back and cackle with insane glee. As a matter of fact, I think I will! >=)
One device to rule them all.
