I think you'll find a lot of people really don't mind those ads, because they're games in a games platform in an application where you buy and play games. Often the adds are for ridiculously marked down rates, which the user is happy to be informed of, especially if you're a college student on a budget and that triple A title you couldn't afford 6 months ago is 60% off.
It's also one click to get rid of and nobody has Steam, plays games through Steam and frequently launches Steam that doesn't buy games through Steam.
The energy of a photon at any given frequency is constant. That means that every gamma ray on earth is more energetic than any X-Ray in space. To describe the temperature of a photon is meaningless and gives the false impression that temperature can vary for a given fixed frequency of light. When describing EM Radiation it makes much more sense to consider the energy of the photons in eV or to describe the entire energy amount of a discharge in joules.
The attributing of temperature of light was the author's way of making the article more exciting when it really added no information and gave false impression that a given frequency of light changes it's energy state.
No, people who post Betteridge's law of headlines also fall into the category of drivel spewing morons. But they're certainly the most irritating and conceited.
It will still be just as much or as little a toy as any android tablet or iPad. Touch screens are low bandwidth input devices and the smaller screens means less information than a laptop or desktop can comfortably display. Most work done nowadays is already webbased and the main argument for netbooks just before tablets came out for the most part was that a phone couldn't run x86 apps. Nowadays if you have a web browser and at least 3g or wifi you are a business capable device. Go ask RIM how the business customer oriented approach worked out.
Now we have a windows tablet that has none of the App store or Play store catalog and isn't bring any of window's own advantage, it's massive catalog of 3rd party proprietary x86 applications. Windows has never been a "good" OS it has for the most part been a tolerated OS due to the immense amount of software it gives you access to. Windows RT seriously has nothing going for it over iOS or Android.
I wish Liberterarians would get some real friends so they'd stop posting their drivel on the internet for attention. You guys should arrange a meetup or something, get it all out of your system and stop shoehorning your idiotic philosophy into every single god damn slashdot submission.
If I remember correctly, physical media like DVD disks and Blu Ray players use a proprietary file format. If you want to be able to play a DVD you need to use a device designed for it. That device requires a licensing fee to not be infringing on the patents. What this means is if you don't follow the DRM built into the media to a T, then you are either in breach of your licensing agreement or are likely to be sued for patent infringement.
This doesn't apply to 3D printing as far as I can tell. All the parts are super generic, the firmware is custom built, the materials are non-patentable. I can imagine some patents creeping in as someone finds a way to alternate materials on an extruder and be able to print a form factor battery or a means of fabricating and printing resistors, capacitors and logic gates from raw materials. My hope is that the hobbyist market and academic circles can stay far enough ahead for a while to be able get all the basics for circuit fabrication under whatever license or patent is the most appropriate to keep it open to everyone, because that's where the real fun starts.
I don't think either are complex enough or traceable enough to regulate. This stuff is like anyone being able to build their own motherboard component by component to get around export control, just export the base components and build it yourself. Each piece of technology in the printer is so generic that no individual piece looks like it can be practically regulated.
If 3D printers become regulated such that it is illegal to own a 3D printer without DRM.
The technology is being designed, improved and assembled by amateurs. There are opensource file formats and 3D modeling software to design and input with. The most complex components can be sold separately and the technology is not so delicate that you can regulate the whole product with patents and only deliver the finished product to the user like with a blu ray player.
This is going to be as difficult to enforce as stopping people from hand drawing Mickey Mouse. This is going to be more difficult than stopping me from printing any copyrighted photo I want to off of a regular old printer on propriety firmware with proprietary drivers on my PC.
Yeah cause god forbid we perform research and discover practices that can cause harm to our children that isn't obvious and then take measures to protect against it. But Government so fuck it, go have fun with you lead painted chew toys little Tommy.
The PC still exists for 2 reasons. Interface and processing power. Lugging around a full qwerty keyboard, mouse and 2 24+ inch monitors is not practical. Having a portable unit is also far more expensive, technologically challenging to produce, and difficult to power.
When the ergonomics of a truly efficient gesture based interface, based on more subtle movements no greater than what you do with a mouse and keyboard instead of exaggerated imprecise arm waving, a set of eye wear or other output mechanism that gives the output bandwidth of two large monitors and a way to fit more processing more than the most power PC's to date into a case the size of a phone and power them, then the desktop pc will die. Alternatively access to enough bandwidth to offload all processing requirements to a server with a thin client like device on hand at a very low latency will also achieve the same goal.
People need to get to work and people tend to drop things like air conditioning and most energy usage after going out to eat and new appliances vehicles etc. The overall effect is that what people tend to cut first during a recession are large purchases, like a new refrigerator/washer/dryer/car that would have been more efficient than the one they're now keeping. The old vehicles/appliances continue to put out a higher amount of CO2 and there is a noticeable delay in the decline of production after demand for a product has gone down, meaning that the CO2 from manufacturing is still present for a time.
The notion that CO2 emissions would drop significantly during a recession doesn't really make a lot of sense to me to be honest. When you look at it on the micro scale instead of the macro scale it's hard to identify changes in behaviour that would result in a large decrease in CO2 production.
True but so is most the lager people in Europe drink. Beer is pretty good everywhere, but the most mass marketable and mass produceable is awful. and you're only going to see the beers that other countries produce in mass quantities and export. It's one of those rare cases where your lawn is always greener than your neighbor's.
Newer smaller computer is faster than older larger computer! Some didn't think it possible, one of those people submitted the article under the false impression that anyone gave a fuck.
Touchscreens offer a smaller form factor at the cost of precision and input complexity. It essentially is for a device with very low input bandwidth which is why tablets are excellent for consumption of media, something that requires little input to navigate and then the majority of the activity is absorbing information. This is the same trade off you make with your phone but to a lesser extent.
This is why the desktop computer is not going to go away anytime soon. The input method and display for a computer dictates it's form factor, a lot of netbook manufacturers even scaled up their models after realizing that going below a certain size harmed the display and input method too much. Until we make some huge breakthroughs in input methods the form factor of an ideal keyboard and mouse layout is going to be larger than we'd like to consider portable and thus there is no reason to not have a powerful non portable computing device that can be made at lower cost as a primary work tool if your job does not require you to be mobile.
If the price per 32 ounces of syrup is $14.50 then that's $58 per gallon. Take about 10% off and round down for a bulk price of around $50 per gallon. That's 25,000 gallons (over 200,000 pounds in weight, an empty semi truck and trailer weighs 30,000 pounds and it would take 2-4 to haul it.) of syrup per million dollars. Where do you take that kind of volume?
You can't sell it all at once without it being found out and it's not exactly inconspicuous. You need to get another company to take it to hide the volume by mixing it in with a legally obtained supply, you need to smuggle it out of the country and sell it off in another market, or it could be the owners themselves in some sort of insurance job. I'm hoping what it actually is is the worlds biggest moonshining operation, Breaking Bad Canadian style. That would be awesome.
There is a clear distinction between challenging an established theory with well reasoned evidence and being a fucking moron. It's also quite another thing to make up complete bullshit that is contradicted by pretty much every field of science that can be backed up with practical applications of the findings of those fields. Don't pretend any brand of creationism is doing anything other than making shit up to fit their preconceived notions. Science is the exact opposite, developing a theory that fits the evidence presented, not the other way around.
Lack of evidence of absence is not evidence and puts us no closer to validating the laws. There is also the fact the risk to reward ratio for such a crime are so astoundingly awful that no one in their right mind would do it.

X-Rays have no temperature, they are EM radiation, not matter.

No but every study looking into voter fraud showing it as a non issue probably means it's a non issue.
