I'm thinking of making some crack brownies that are delicious and unlike pot brownies--which have pot in them and are therefore dangerous--have crack in them.
Reuters explains how the National Science Foundation's Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) program is funding research used to implement real life crimes in a CSI-like game.
So, by shooting someone in the game, they'll end up actually shooting someone in real life? That sounds like an awful idea.
If you define "failure" as "X % of the LEDs fail", then 38K hours sounds perfectly reasonable for a bulb made of seven one-watt LEDs. That said, I have no idea how many LEDs are in this thing.
The only sad part is that our sick society is in such denial about the inevitability of death that he was forced to choose such a gruesome method rather than having the option of something more peaceful.
Being a man of quite some means, so to speak, it's pretty naive to think he couldn't have just hopped a plane to say, Oregon, and offed himself there neatly and legally. He blew his head off with a shotgun because that's the way he wanted to go out, clearly.
Actually, intercourse is considered uncouth by Britons. Hence, they all adopt, but rarely stop to question where the babies come from in the first place. Curious, isn't it?
Yeah, but then the polygamous moon colonists would start becoming all libertarian and such, stage a revolution, and hurl rocks down at Earth as makeshift WMDs. No thank you!
CDs already write way more redundant information than simple parity. In fact, the Reed-Solomon codes they use can perfectly recover errors where 4000 consecutive bits are obliterated (say, by a centimeter-long scratch). It's interesting stuff for sure.
That said, writing extra redundant data can't hurt, except for the loss in storage space.
I know there must be a good, albeit esoteric explanation for this, but the economics behind this decision are baffling to me. One would think that if Pandora had a profitable business model, then profit and listeners' usage of their service should be positively correlated; i.e., the more I listen, the more profit Pandora makes from advertising. However, if they're encouraging people to use the service less, the obvious explanation would be that usage and profit are negatively correlated; i.e., Pandora would be hemorraging money.
It's as if Sony were to suddenly decide to cap the number of PS3's you can buy to limit their losses...
I bike commute in a major US city, and I have to say that maybe 50% of cyclists are doing it wrong; i.e., they ride as far as possible to the right of the road, where they'll eventually have an unlucky day and slam into a car door at 25 mph. Or, they'll get sideswiped by a car that passes a little too close, and end up crashing in the middle of traffic.
I cannot stress enough, that if there is no bike lane, a cyclist must be far enough into the lane that neither of these scenarios are possible, for his/her own safety. In a narrow lane, that means riding in the center of the lane. With multiple lanes, don't feel bad about doing this at all--cars can safely pass you in the other lane. On a narrow, single lane road, a cyclist still needs to take the lane to be safe. However, the cyclist should also avoid these roads at all cost (unless they can keep up with traffic), and pull over if necessary to let a stack of cars pass.
Don't forget the fact that the car commuters are far more likely to become obese and thereby a burden on healthcare systems, at the expense of everyone else. Oh, and there's pollution. And braindead urban planning that makes it impossible to get anywhere without a car. And drunk driving. And gruesome car accidents...
Unfortunately, looks like they still haven't fixed bug 1040, or even upgraded its priority from 'minor.' The gist of it is, do not even think about touching anything in the GUI relating to the 'snapshot' feature, unless you really, absolutely, positively understand what you're doing. The wording is very confusing, and can easily lead to data loss scenarios. Unfortunately, since this is a human interface flaw, and not a programming error, it seems like it's not really being taken seriously. In my mind, sadly, this is exactly the sort of macho hacker mentality that keeps OSS from mainstream acceptance.

With all the misinformation in this thread, Schroedinger's cat is rolling over in its grave... with probability one half.
When was the last time you read an article that included a direct quote?
About a minute ago, when I RTFA. Ok, fine, I didn't read it. But I did skim it over just to spite you.
I'm sorry, but no discussion of the merits of World Net Daily is complete without mentioning their six-part series on how soy is making your kids gay.

Singapore, for one, is known to execute people for smuggling far less harmful substances.
Isn't this a bit like creating a device that captures the 'waste cold' of a refrigerator?

Hello, new way to spend my weekends! See, this is why I read /.
Simple. Wait 'til it RROD's, hit up that class action suit, then... Profit!
