Americans aren't stupid. If we have to fight our own army, then we'll probably be building bombs and such. An EE and a Chem Eng could wreck a lot of havok if they worked together.
Well considering that the holes are the size of water molecules, I think it would be safe to say that bacteria and viruses would not fit. It would be like trying to force a tennis ball through a hole in a pasta strainer.
There is unrest on the Internet. Several thousand users have declared their intentions to leave the Republic.
This Seperatist movement, inspired by the mysterious DuQu, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the Internet...
...But I didn't realize it until I left.
Half of all the youtube videos I try to watch are blocked for one reason or another, Hulu, Netflix, and my Amazon Instant accounts were all out of commission, and iTunes was pretty much my last resort to stream content. I hate iTunes. I also hate trying to stream videos I own on Amazon through a proxy. Suddenly BitTorrent looks mighty friendly to a boredom-induced insanity.
What kind of home network is this and what can you do with all these servers? Is he talking about installing ethernet jacks into all of his rooms? What is the server rack for? Don't the ethernet cables need to all go to a switch or router?
The guy wants 5 million dollars because his daughter spent $200? If I had done that I would've lost use of the iPhone and would have to mow lots of lawns to pay them back. Whatever happened to parenting?
Or perhaps one of the parents caught wind that Orson Scott Card is Mormon and different and therefore evil.
My thoughts exactly as soon as I read the article. They'd better pull Brandon Sanderson from the shelves too, just to be safe.
This 1000-mile long passenger-safe rail gun which has to be vacuum-sealed with one-way vents will be cheaper than conventional rockets in the long run? I wonder what the initial cost for this structure would be... probably more than the combined net worth of all the countries on earth.
So why do publishers constantly treat their customers like a piece of shit and why does the average consumer accept it?
Publishers treat consumers like crap because they really only care about the consumer's wallet, not the consumer. They will push the consumer's pocketbook until the consumer starts complaining, then back off ever so slightly. The average consumer accepts it because it requires (in their mind) too much effort to attempt to change the way things are going. It's easier to just shell out $50 and play the game you want to play, even if it uses DRM.
From what I understand, ice cubes floating in a glass of water will not change the level of water when they melt. Call me when the ice on Antarctica will start melting at an accelerated rate.
How do we know it isn't possible to store a bit in fewer than 12 atoms? I'm not seeing how that "solved" anything, only that they proved it was possible to store a bit with as few as 12 atoms.
I want to develop a board game with a rule set that is simple but allows for unique gameplay and complex strategies to be developed (think chess). In your opinion, at what point does a game become too complex for casual play and start to be for dedicated gamers only (i.e at what point does chess become starcraft)?
You could always buy a laptop lock and tether it to a fixed piece of metal in the car. The thief would then either have to break the laptop or bring along bolt cutters. Why bring along your laptop, though, if you're just going to leave it in the car?

Woah... Byuu's a slashdotter too! You're my hero. Someday, I'll make an ARM-optimized SNES emulator and you'll be my inspiration.

If the Iranians want a different government then it is up to them to make one.
Easier said than done. It's a repressive regime... meaning death to dissenters.
I hope we'll see each other again... sometime...

We're a heck of a lot better at writing secure code than the other animals
Perhaps God once was as we are now?

Why can't you scan people twice at two different angles (a la mugshots)? Then any weapons strapped to the side of the person will be revealed.
That's amazing!
Sign me up, I'll just start using firefox

$99 annual developer's fee later *cough*xcode*cough*
Right, like you said, and insignificant amount.

Wait, Myspace still exists?!?

This could have a deep impact on our current understanding of ice.
