When those super-bright LEDs were invented a few years ago they were "cool". Since every manufacturer wants their product to be "cool", and more is obviously better...
I like this trend. If a device wants to consume 0 power on standby then it finally means that they'll stop putting those damn blue LEDs on everything electronic. Then I could have a dark bedroom at night without the use of electrical tape.
If wikipedia is to be trusted, an average lightning strike transfers 5 coulombs of charge. So, you "only" need a 5000 picofarad capacitor... (that can charge to 1,000,000,000 volts)
Actually the capacitor would begin with 0 volts, and a large charging rate (measured in amps). As the voltage of the capacitor approaches the voltage of the power supply, the amps fall off exponentially
In my experiance, I am more distracted by people in the car because I tend to look at them when we are talking. With a phone, there is not the tendency.
In that case, you would want to set up jammers over the entire city that emit short bursts of jamming at random intervals. That would signifiganly reduce the effectiveness of the IEDs because then the people setting them up could no longer control when they would detonate.
For several years prior to his wife's disappearance, he's been very strapped for money. He basically bankrupted himself to keep paying the russian programmers who were working on the reiser4 file system. His wife or friend may or may not have been involved in his money problems.
There is nothing wrong with capturing escaped murders. The problem is a lack of results with respect to the claimed purpose of the system.
You may think that solving a few cold cases here and there justifies the loss of civil liberties and expansion of government power that created this story, but I doubt you will find universal consensus for that view.
At 64 she remains perfectly capable of killing her new husband, so her danger to society is hardly reduced.
Correct, but was this danger to society great enough to justify all the new government powers that have been set up after 2001? If this is the best the DHS can do, then where does that put the cost to benefit ratio?
Of course they aren't, they were all killed off in the Pirates & Ninjas war. God was pretty pathetic with only a little fire and brimstone before he was spent. Santa Claus fired present after present into the onslaught of ninjas while Darth Vader screamed "Noooooooooooo!"

Is there really more than about 3 people in the world that actually have a working SELinux system? That they use on a day-to-day basis?
I'd feel a lot safer if I could ever get selinux to work...
Are you 100% sure?
He collected some static charge, but nowhere near the level of a lightning bolt

Design a dielectric that can withstand about a billion volts, and I'm sure someone will buy it.
Actually the capacitor would begin with 0 volts, and a large charging rate (measured in amps). As the voltage of the capacitor approaches the voltage of the power supply, the amps fall off exponentially
7560 amps average. The initial charge rate would be signifigantly larger.
Your opinion might change if you experience hot stuff again the next time you use the restroom.
... yes, if you could build a capacitor that would survive a direct lightning strike...

So how is talking on a phone more distracting than talking to a passenger in the car? Espscially with bluetooth headsets and voice dialing?

The country is now safe from terrorist grandmothers!
We learned one way that doesn't work to prove the hypothesis. Sometimes you have to take what you can get with science.
