I never got that goddamned babelfish! I've still got the Atari in the attic, I should fire it up and find the walkthrough on teh intarwarbs so I can finish it just out of spite!
solar is also nuclear power. They just located the solar system's central fusion reactor 93 million miles away.
hmmmm, I would claim all power eventually comes from nuclear sources, but then you brought up tidal. That's just extracting existing potential energy, but damn if I can explain where it came from originally...
Google has said in the past that they use an empirical, incremental approach to UI design where user actions are studied and these guide decisions
I have google set as my home page, and the first thing I did when I got to work was search for what is this shite, Bing?! So, google reverting to a lightweight UI -- that was my idea!
great, another 50MB of bloat on top of the 95MB they currently cram down your throat and insist on updating daily. With their own proprietary update scheduler. For something that requires maybe 20K of actual code, if any.
Do you realize what kind of political fallout BP would receive if they were actually wasting time trying to salvage the well?
"absolutely none at all?"
Obviously you haven't been paying attention to the masses not paying attention to the media not paying attention to this issues that I consider to be mission-cricital.
My prognostication is that this will be safely forgotten by 95% of the population three weeks after it is "resolved" and the media moves on to the next shiny thing. (Well, except for shrimp lovers and when the next hurricane comes up the gulf...)

At this point in time, I'd question whether they would fund anti matter weapons research. Tactically, do we really need a bigger boom than a nuke?
How else are they going to blow up the moon?!
Why not a high alt blimp? The military already uses them for refueling stations.
say what, now?

The story's about LASERs , not La za rs One's a source of coherent photons and one's got a record for pandering to alienz.
thanks for the link!
FYI - the Glomar Challenger and the car from "Doppleganger" also in that issue.
But I like them!
Guess I'll have to develop a taste for oil company executives.

I've read that these systems are accessible from the internet so that support staff can remotely diagnose problems.
No fatalities as a result, but slipshod documentation & maintenance is probably a bigger problem : http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/11/05/1632204/Computer-Failure-Causes-Gridlock-In-MD-County?art_pos=1
