"Zarf" is the proper name for those little paper jackets at Starbucks that you slip onto your coffee cup to prevent it from burning your fingers. Most of the baristas don't even know that.
4. At the end of the game, the losing player waves a white flag and then goes on strike. 5. The winning player is hauled before a commission which makes him/her apologize for exercising 'privilege'.
Then there's argumentum ad pomum, by which your opponent has to be a zombified fan of a company so charismatic that it doesn't have to pay him anything.
That's an exceedingly worst-case assumption, but let's say that's really all the time we have left. That's plenty of time to get not just off this rock, but out of this solar system.
You said it - anti-science "new age" types. The people who for years have been proud of blocking every engineering project. Now they are turning on science itself.
The real significance of this discovery is not just that the system is Earthlike, but that it has been stable for two billion years longer than our own. That's time for a lot of local technology to happen. Once they get the Thirty Meter Telescope built on Gran Canaria or whatever other decent location is not infested by liberals, systems like this will be prime candidates for high-res observation.
Sorry about your bridge being the one in Desert Center, CA. I've heard that a new span will be opening soon near the Chicago Loop, at Gangland Station. Put in for it now.
Those nice interface special effects also demand too much of the crappy little Lower Slobbovian PCs that so many people try to shoehorn Windows into. To get their treasured student copy of Word 2007 to come up before Tuesday, they have to rummage through Control Panel for ways of turning the special effects off.
In my IT business, there is an effect I see all the time. Any change to a familiar interface, even a clear improvement, brings forth a certain cohort of users who insist that their favorite product has been ruined forever.
But because it's a Microsoft product, it will be too riddled with bugs and viruses to work as intended. A woman who has this implanted will shoot out babies like a Pez dispenser.
I wouldn't trust Skype AI to tackle anything like this since the time I wanted to change the credit card I had my World Subscription attached to The Payment Methods page on the site lets you add a card, but you can't delete an old card and you can't tell it which payment method to use. You just have to hope it picks the right one.
As sharks move onto social media, what about the Facebook requirement for use of real names? Dating sites will require that they be honest about reporting weight in their profiles, with any documented bad habits ("Eats surfers").
Because archaeology is not a high-cost science, we could do a lot of basic research for not much money. It just takes a focusing of interest, raised by questions like this one. My local area (rural northern Arizona) contains several hundred ruin sites, both cliff dwellings and pit houses, representing a rich culture that in approximately 1200 simply vanished. No one really knows why. It established relations sufficiently distant that red macaw feathers have been found among their trade goods. We need to do more digging.
Okay, people can register DNA samples with 123andme.com and be entered into their genetic database. When you log into a site that uses this API, racist or otherwise, what quick way is there to authenticate? Touch the tip of your tongue to a sensor? This could be a surefire way to identify an individual, so long as the sensor had a threshold test that would prevent people from using the edge of someone's water glass to log in.
The plaid patterns on the surface you're talking about are JPG compression artifacts. NH will spend the next several weeks sending JPGs. Once we have a "safe copy" in lossy format, it will start transmitting lossless RAW images. This will take months. Such a strategy assures maximum data return if a mechanical failure terminates the mission.

I think that instead of a tile bag, the Chinese use a cement mixer.

If you really had one of those, you wouldn't be spending time on Slashdot.
Actually, qi is just the generic Chinese/Japanese word for energy. Electricity is den-ki, or "lightning energy."

Let's just write automatic updates at each startup into the standard, and Adobe will be on board.
And while you're at it, check local car washes to see if the receipts match up with the observable customer traffic.

Heavy metal poisoning for us, maybe, but the presence of heavy metals means more industrial options for a species evolved to live there.

"I wonder how much Microsoft paid to Dice"
Had the review been unfavorable, who would you claim is the conspirator?
I'm getting really tired of argumentum ad monsantium, the logical fallacy that any position opposing mine has to be shilling for someone.
It won't be the Whole Foods crowd that will have a field day with this story, but the conspiracy theorists.
If this device actually works, another application I could envision would be amateur prospecting. But smartphones know your location, so same problem.

The IBM 1410? But that was at U of California. In my first production environment, I had stepped up to an IBM 360/50.
That's the Android equivalent to pen and ink.
