Thank goodness! I can finally doff my ear plugs and ear muffs any time I'm around one. Good indeed to learn that they are quieter. That is certainly a relief. I guess those mufflers that took up a whole side pod on the GTP cars was completely unnecessary!
Two hundred years ago, the young U. S. was fighting sea pirates. To my knowledge, the U. S. did not determine which countries all the pirates were from and declare war on those countries (at least during the first years). They just reasoned who were the bad guys and sunk their ships.
Today, it might be argued that the U. S. is fighting African-Embassy/discotheque/shoe/airplane pirates and sometimes sea pirates. How does one declare war against a convoy of cars? Or a training camp?
There might be precedent for chasing after bad guys (of course it is more simple when it is on the high seas), and if an American is hanging out with the bad guys, he gets hurt.
Can today's drone wars be compared to the classic pirate days? No answer here, but there might be a slight resemblance.
Thank you. It makes some sense to park a laptop in the sun to top off the battery, but heavy charging should be done from cells on the roof of your home or automobile. Then take the laptop to the shade where it makes sense to use it.
I am all for an epaper option for those times when you want to read text in the sunshine, but then a solar-powered tablet-ereader would seem more plausible to manufacture and use.
But your first post got Score:1 and your second got Score:2. I think the day is about here when the long running two-million monkey experiment that is slashdot.org will be shut down.
Oh, and thank you, Dr. Einstein, for thinking about this stuff and putting it in a form that could be challenged experimentally.
Are there articles from nine, four, three, two, and one years ago predicting this breakthrough? To someone not in the business, this seems to have come out of the blue--already in production by the time the news breaks. How long have they been working on this?
When it comes time to design the plug, they should make sure it's non-tapered so that it has to be perfectly lined up to go in the socket. It should also be perfectly symmetrical so it takes ten minutes get it in the socket correctly.

Thank you, jd! Maybe the phone's owner saw therecent article about how the new CEO favored printers.
Okay, everyone call Apple and say you found this funny looking iPhone in a bar....

Thank you for bringing this up (and thank you AC for your take, too).
I would have had more sympathy if you were connected from Mars over dialup.
Last time I was in Canada, there was apparently a law that fruits and vegetable prices had to be displayed in $Can / lb.
The Umatilla Chemical Depot is about empty of nerve gas. Maybe they should store nuclear waste.
Sometimes 140 characters is enough! (hint)
There are a billion reasons.

Some libraries have closed stacks and offsite storage, so perusing the entire collection is already impossible in some cases.
does that mean all the others have to follow?
Reminds me a bit of the case of the Ferarri 250 that was really an MG.

Intel's 3D Transistors One Step Closer to Reality Posted by ScuttleMonkey on 15:15 Monday 12 June 2006 from the closing-your-leaks dept. http://slashdot.org/story/06/06/12/224207/Intels-3D-Transistors-One-Step-Closer-to-Reality
Answering myself: The idea started in 2002.
