A really interesting example is Curtiss-Wright. Yes the Curtiss-Wright that was merger of the companies started by Glenn Curtiss and the company started by the Wright Brothers. They are still around http://www.curtisswright.com/h....
Wow.... Maybe you should develop a sense of humor... You have just proven a point. I just can not say anything so silly that the internet will not provide me a fool that will take it seriously.
Sorry but if you actually do understand that such a tweet would be found by many people to be insulting makes one question your social skills. I also think he is jerk for demoting Pluto. He is also wrong about that for the simple reason that if clearing your orbit is a requirement then Neptune is also not a planet since it has not cleared its orbit of Pluto.
You like many people confuse fact and opinion. Your opinion is not in anyway a fact. His statement can in fact be proven false because not everyone in the US celebrates Christmas at all so the claim that the US did x is in fact false since it is an all inclusive statment.
What is funny is so many people will just not get it. It doesn't matter if he is right which he isn't since that day means different things to different people. He has just alienated a large number of people for no good reason. His tweet will change no a single mind. All it will do is get praises from his fans. That is not good science, education. or frankly good manners.
If I go to a local restaurant site that does not take orders and it is not running SSL just how is it insecure? It is like a warning that a public park is insecure because it doesn't have a burglar alarm. Also just because a site uses ssl does not mean that it is malware free or that it has not been hacked and all the user data taken.
When is a false sense of security a good thing? And please do not tell me that I should worry about the NSA knowing that I was looking at restaurants.
"Fortunately, most open minded people are willing to accept a vast amount of statistical evidence as proof." Then get back to me when your sample size is much larger... Talk about your dumb analogies. BTW you are totally wrong. By the 1980s tobacco smoke had been studied and found to be full of known cancerogenic compounds. They did have mass spectrometers in the 1980s after all.
You like most people are confusing weather with climate. A single drought can not be attributed to climate change it would take a lot more data aka many decades of data.
" but that didn't prevent climate researchers from claiming Katrina-level events will drastically increase in frequency" I think you are confusing advocates with researchers. Fear sells after all.
What is so annoying is that most climate change advocates are as clueless about climate as those that deny climate change. Every hot summer, warm winter, flood, drought or hurricane is proof... No it is weather. So when you have a slow hurricane season, a drought ends, or an extremely cold winter you have proof that climate change is not happening. No it is just weather people...
The arrogant ignorance of the clueless climate change advocates do more harm than can imagined.
I tired this as well. The issue is that most IDEs are designed to work with wide monitors. Also 1080 across is just not enough. Now if I had 1920x1400 that would rock.
I hate the over use of drones but RC aircraft do fall out of the sky. What people don't get is that RC aircraft can be pretty big and dangerous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... People already fly jet RC aircraft that fly at well over 100 mph and mass over 50lbs. Yes they can kill people which is why they have rules.
You are right that most "drones" are not large or fast but they can be. Maybe a rule of under 5 lbs and under 20 mph for unregulated drones is in order.
As someone living in south florida I can tell you that heat is not valuable.
You are sort of right but it is temperature differential that is valuable not just heat. In Alaska or Northern Canada 40c water has some value. In Phoenix it is useless most of the year. Now if you can get CPUs that are happy at 200c you now have some valuable temperature differential
If the Republic falls then the restrictions on the military acting like a police force will fall. Your automatic weapon will be of little use facing an M1A1 or an Apache. You logic is flawed and your insults are meaningless. You live in fear and terror that is self inflicted.
This is without a doubt Politics. I have turned off Politics from Slashdot not because I have no interest in things political but because Slashdot is flat out terrible at politics.
Well I would say they have a good chance. The US started on the Saturn V in 1962 first flight 1967 so just five years. The Saturn V was designed using pencils and slide rules. Today China has PCs "and better" and CAD/CAM.
I am actually a US citizen. I have no problem with limits on civilian full auto weapons. In a democratic society the weapon that defends our freedom is the ballot box and not an automatic weapon.
You can own a machine gun you just have pay for a special license. And no tanks were transferred so you are happy now.
As to your statement that you must equal weapons for the general population and the police is not true unless you consider Sweden and Norway police states. It is an absolute statement with no proof.
Simple answer is birds. Fish tend to release lots of eggs into the water. Some stick to legs and feathers of water birds. When the birds land in body of water that has no fish those eggs have a very good chance of hatching and growing to full size. Repeat.
Not a single tank was sold to the police. I also did not see a single machine gun offered to police. Automatic weapons yes but not a single machine gun that I saw. Also no the police and population do not have to work under the same rules! Show me that in law. Show that to me in a nation on earth. And sometimes you do not have time get the FBI to a location.. It is called Military surplus. Many of the items are offered for less than value of the metal in them. So your local police get a mine resistant truck that has a lot of armor and can be used for cover in a shootout or during a hurricane for SnR.

We still have Geko... And the very idea that any company is worse than Microsoft.... What has happened to Slashdot.
Funny but you do know that your reaction made the parents post's point.

What about when it misinforms?
If I go to a local restaurant site that does not take orders and it is not running SSL just how is it insecure?
It is like a warning that a public park is insecure because it doesn't have a burglar alarm.

Exactly NASA is caught between a rock and a hard space.
They keep having projects started then stopped. The X-33 is a great example.

You are correct but the city has to post it and how legal they are is another question.
Because my office gave me two 1080p monitors and we are not allowed to bring in our own stuff.
I tired this as well. The issue is that most IDEs are designed to work with wide monitors.
Also 1080 across is just not enough. Now if I had 1920x1400 that would rock.

The M60 would be a machine gun but I did not see any distributed.

Only if you are stating that President Obama is irresponsible. He could change all this with executive orders but doesn't.
