It is much more challenging to do tele-operated rovers on Mars and manned missions to the moon. The west has done both. Nobody else has. I do think the Chinese could beat the US back to the moon, and I hope they go full throttle towards the goal of a manned base on the moon. We need a space race to get us off this rock.
There are plenty of firsts and (in my opinion) more interesting places to go in the solar system, like Europa and other potentially life and or liquid water containing moons. It would be great to see China or India attempt missions on that level.
In Baltimore city in parts it was still alive in 2013. Wires from the house all the way to the CO 5 blocks away, all unswitched until it gets into that building. Phone service still locally active even without power. My parents gave up their landline this year and have had problems with VOIP ever since.
I do not think she should have been denied entry but I doubt it was due to some database sharing issue. She has a website with this information listed below so any agent checking on her manually could have found it.
Exactly. If this were to happen it would kill more people in a month then what we have lost to terrorism* in all time. It is far more important then terrorism.
From wikipedia: "A currency (from Middle English curraunt, meaning in circulation) in the most specific use of the word refers to money in any form when in actual use or circulation, as a medium of exchange, especially circulating paper money. This use is synonymous with banknotes, or (sometimes) with banknotes plus coins, meaning the physical tokens used for money by a government.[1][2]
A much more general use of the word currency is anything that is used in any circumstances, as a medium of exchange. In this use, "currency" is a synonym for the concept of money.[3]"
Seems to meet the definition for me, under the second paragraph.
Except that you cannot send your old iPad through the computer to another person on the other side of the planet within 10 minutes. That is what gives Bitcoin it's value.
Use Bitcoin generation as your dump load. Mining for bitcoins or alt coins can be a breakeven situation but you'll be paid more for your power then wholesale. Could be easily set up with some of the older FPGA miners and a raspberry pi that automatically starts mining when powered up.
This 'little choice' thing is untrue and bullshit yet it keeps being repeated. Ubuntu's lawyers can explicitly offer licensed use of their trademark to anyone they please with or WITHOUT fee. They could easily allow use of the shirts with an email. They could attach conditions as needed and even set it up so they can ask the user of the logo to stop at any time.
They were not at 35000 feet during most of those calls. The speed of the plane is not an issue. It is the height. With a lower height a signal can make in through the windows for more time before dropping. At a higher height the cell towers are too far away or the angle is too sharp and less signal makes it in.
With an Arduino I am sure a control system could be built inexpensively and open source, not that the company making this would like that. You would have to work around or invalidate their patent possibly depending on what they have patented.
I don't mind a little bit of 'this would not happen like that' for fun, but don't obsess over it. It was a great film, fun to watch and a little different then what we have seen recently. So the space junk would not have spread in the exact same way, but would it have been a thrill ride if we had to wait days for it to happen?
I am sure you are using a knock off USB power adapter to run your Pi. The Raspberry Pi's I am running have not crashed over long periods of time. Some generic USB power adapters put out huge amounts of noise and are not regulated well.
Ring Ring. Tesla is rolling cars off the line at that rate now though just barely as of this month. The model S (unlike the roadster) is produced on an assembly line fully qualifying for the term 'mass production'.
Good point except the article finds Apples greatest competitor to be worse. Also part of the test that hurt the new iPhones score is the 'slide' test which is totally irrelevant as almost everyone has these phones in cases which reduce sliding to almost nothing. I have owned every iPhone, put every one in a case and never broke them even after 5 foot falls onto concrete. I do not even use those super heavy duty cases like the Otterbox, just a simple rubber sleeve.
Apple will have most of the iPhones in the first world on IOS 7 within a month. Something like that just does not happen EVER with Android. There may be older devices out there but they are no longer with primary users and driving the IOS market and apps. Apple devs will just keep moving forward to the latest version as most customers do leaving no effective fragmentation in the market.
The adoption rate of IOS 7 is already past 35% in ONE WEEK. Android will be lucky to have over 35% on the latest version ever.
Android gizmos have average build quality, good specs, lower quality software and poor long term support. Apple iPhones have better build quality, good specs, higher quality software and excellent long term support. Apple takes usually years to 'orphan' an older device. IOS 7 runs on iPhone 4, while that device is only three years old, in the Android world getting a 3 year old device to run the latest version of Android usually does not happen.
We brought back samples from the moon, if this stuff is floating around all of the time out in space just waiting to land, why did we not find anything in the moon samples? The stuff was obviously thrown up from the ground if it is organic, one cannot assume just from the height that it had to be from space.
I agree, but that is a separate issue. I want an effective USA carrier blacklist as well, but unless you get every carrier in the world involved stolen phones will gravitate to where they can be used.
I have no problem with that, but FORCING them to do that is not necessary if unlocking on ones own (including using exploits) is legal. People will gravitate to both unlocking friendly carriers and phones that are readily unlock-able. Customers have a choice of a subsidized phone or not and can decide depending on their circumstances what is best for them.
While I would not call them friendly, AT&T has unlocked every phone I have asked them to in the past four years after 1 year of contract is done.
Just make unlocking phones legal under all circumstances. We already know the 'unintended consequences' of that. Making unlocking always legal gives us a market based approach versus a legislative approach and if done correctly (yea right) the law could be made simpler not more complex then current law.

Then it was not POTS. POTS has no batteries on poles or boxes, just at the central office. The batteries at the central office run for days.

In the CONTEXT of automobile collisions and accidents it certainly is high speed.

One Hitachi 42" plasma. Going for 6 years. Makes too much heat though.
