In most states you can't take a large lottery prize anonymously, which he should have known.
True, but I believe there are tricks around that. A competent lawyer can create a trust and the trustee collects and manages the winnings on your behalf.
And it ignores that a lot of their stockpiles are many decades old.
That's right. When NK conducted a surprise attack on the island of Yeonpyeong in 2010, of the 170 rounds fired, only 80 hit the island -- and twenty of those failed to detonate. Where the 60 did detonate suggested NK had outdated maps, but that's a different problem.
The only deterrent they have is being able to strike South Korea with thousands of conventional artillery pieces. Seoul is close enough to the border that it would be devastated by such a barrage.
Everyone keeps saying that, but it's not really true. The outskirts of Soul are within range of their 170mm Koksan, but that's only if they fire Soviet-era rocket assisted projectiles from as close as the DMZ. And if the shit does hit the fan, good luck deploying them there. The gun itself is unwieldy and can only fire one to two rounds every five minutes.
What pisses me off is when dealing with a copy of Windows that hasn't had sticky keys disabled. Real fun when playing a game that makes use of the SHIFT key.
What next, will the search box be made 90% translucent and float around your screen?
Probably not, but I wouldn't put it past them to display a "Search Bing!" link under the field as you type.
Or a better idea.... As you type your search, a sponsored advertisement appears under the field... "This search has been brought to you by Pepsi". That would be so awesome.
Not necessarily. Just wondering how an unmanned spacecraft would compensate for gravitational anomalies, but I get what you're saying.
Why would you look for a planet?
What can I say, some of us like the great outdoors. Living in space would mean a limited environment by comparison; the novelty would wear out (personally speaking, of course).
As a side note, your post reminded me of something... How do mission planners take into account solar systems with unknown number of planetary bodies with varying masses? I mean, we have our solar system pretty well figured out in that we can slingshot probes off of planets. Granted, they're going much slower than what's proposed here, but the effects of passing near an unexpected planet the size of Jupiter could cause problems with navigation, would it not?
We're in an era where moderate politics is a vacuum waiting to be filled. Probably not a good time to do anything in haste. Besides, the U.S. has adversaries who would just love to partner up with Turkey if it means an opportunity to destabilize relations in the west. So humiliating Turkey by kicking them out of NATO would absolutely backfire. Not to mention Turkey is a supplier of the F-35 center fuselage and committed to buying 116 of the aircraft... An arrangement that would get awkward pretty quick.
The only thing Washington and Brussels can do is sit on their hands and maybe raise concern every now and then. The rest is up to the Turkish people.
While I wouldn't rule that out, superMHL, which was announced over a year ago, can handle the bandwidth requirements. Lattice Semiconductor already has superMHL products ready for next-gen A/V receivers, and you may see it in graphics cards as early as 2018.
I should further add, given the enormous pressure Musk must be under (SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity, etc.), I'm surprised the man hasn't gone complete bat-shit crazy. So for anyone waiting for Musk to blame aliens, just give him more time.
When Musk tweeted earlier, "particularly trying to understand the quieter bang sound a few seconds before the fireball goes off", I was kinda hoping he wasn't implying something.
Wikipedia says H2 2017 for Cannonlake, but my gut says that's too soon for actual product. 10nm would be nice to have in a laptop, but for the desktop?? If someone requires 4K hardware acceleration, don't most discrete GPUs do that today?
The people behind this technology (and autopilot), given where they work, probably can't fathom why anyone would live in your climate. Your snow issues are an edge case. SORRY!;)
psst... hey, phantomfive, I don't think you're supposed to openly disagree about this stuff. The really smart people are now in charge. You don't want to wind up in a re-education camp, do ya?

This car is not in production. It might be in a few years.
Actually, it's the production model (not a concept) and it goes on sale late spring of 2018.

You don't understand posts like that because you're a mature responsible adult who isn't putting yourself first.
They can't compete with scratch and sniff magazines!

This whole internet thing has been fun and all, but can we please go back to pen and paper? Thx.
There must be a new HDMI version in the works

8K120+HDR is something like 15 GB/s (capital "B"). Anandtech reported that it has eight DisplayPort cables feeding it.

A bit anti-climatic for a main character's fate, but could be useful in an alternate ending re-release.

Hybrid solution, though not something I'd want to sign up for...
So Small Britain, or the United Kingdom of England and Wales, will leave the EU.
Throw "Engales" and "Wangland" into the mix and put it up for an Internet vote.
Did encrypting it raise suspicion in countries like China?
