Any electronic clock (or mechanical clock) is a potential bomb trigger be it a cell phone or wrist watch. The only thing that makes it a bomb is explosives. From the picture nothing even remotely looked like it could be explosive. It is just circuit boards and wires.
The only person that acted appropriately was the teacher that took it away and shoved it in a desk (he was being disruptive with it).
What no push for teacher education? If there is nothing that looks like explosives there is no reason to think its a bomb.
Of course this might make teachers look stupid and Obama doesn't want to offend the teachers union.
Looks like some idiot an Gizmag was talked into doing an article by some hair brained inventor again. Neither party understands physics so they both think its great. As mentioned a few times here by others before me that firing a bullet into another ball isn't going to increase its knock down power (Conservation of momentum). The stupidity from there grows by training a law enforcement officer to use the gun as a first resort instead of a last one. Also for when lethal force is called for it means that the officer will have one less effective bullet and their follow up shots will be done with them dealing with the recoil from their first useless shot.
Bad idea all around!
Nuclear reactors don't need water. You can build liquid metal cooled reactors. Metallic sodium is one such metal used.
Although some reactors have been built with liquid metal cooling, nearly all have been experimental reactors only. However, even in liquid metal cooled reactors, generally the turbine that actually generates the electricity is driven using a steam cycle (which uses water). So technically a nuclear reactor doesn't need water, but generally you want electricity out such a reactor (unless you are using it simply to generate transuranic elements)...
you can use the mercury vapor cycle or even a boiling sodium vapor cycle with a turbine. Both have a thermal efficiency advantage over steam cycle. Further more you can use either of those cycles in combination with a steam cycle thus creating a binary cycle that has a thermal efficiency above 50%.
It will take a president with balls! One who will go back to the policy of "Mess with us and we will nuke your ass!". Then there won't be a need for surveillance.
Some people are bypassing some emissions controls to get better mileage. Some techniques are ease to reverse for emissions checks like a BB in the vacuum line that opens the EGR valve on a diesel.
How so? ARM processors are quite plentiful and support several operating systems already. Perhaps you're just not very familiar with them. Not to worry. There's plenty of material available.
I've designed embedded computers and written boot rom code and ported kernels to arm and other processors. While arm has a more intelligent design to it than an x86 its still far behind other processors with its 16 registers (MIPS,PowerPC,etc have 32 plus a few dedicated ones). It also lacks in the fact that it must have its address space split in half to support I/O. The only thing arm does well is conserve power.
So in order for a website to remain free for the users use, they will need to post more advertisements to make up for it.
If you don't like advertising on you favorite site. Then you better find them a business model where they can keep running (as it isn't free for them) and feed their family's.
Otherwise just suck it up as the cost of having free access to their data.
I oppose personal targeted adds and tracking adds. Click bot networks defeat this ad model. Positioned adds on articles that people who might buy a product based on the fact that a certain demographic reads these type of articles I have no problem with and in fact encourages production of good articles to attract adds and readers.
No, the privacy implications of this are downright creepy. Because the most unsettling thing is governments and corporations feel they have a right to this information.
And, it's not like you can opt out.. unless you simply don't fly.
And, then what does Cisco et al do with this information? Oh, right, sell it for profit.
Assholes.
They
A) Already know you have a flight booked
B) Already know where you are going.
C) When you check in, they know you are there.
If you want privacy of how long you are waiting in line. Don't broadcast your location over the air waves with a transmitter.
The laws of physics are the same as they were 5 years ago. The farther you multipath the more you multipath. The more you multipath the more multipath fading sets in. Each reflection causes a loss in signal strength. Unless they want to set up cell towers every 100 meters its not going to work.

Its not that its achievable its whether its feasible or reasonable.(which it isn't)

Just using the internet gathers intel for them
And rent is like $3000 a month for a studio apartment
On the bright side, the House votes 239-186 in favor of repealing ObamaCare. :)

Thanks Obama and Obamacare!
So if 9/11 style threats against theaters will stop a movie from being released, Why the hell didn't someone think of that when Twilight was released?
Damn, I thought it was a game! I was thinking I could go hang with Gopher and Isaac at the lido deck lounge then try to bag Julie the cruise director.
On the plus side ARM might manage to surpass AMD in IPC but they re-hired the K8 guy, so it looks like that plan might be in the shitter.
Keep in mind that while arm may have just beat AMD in IPC. The number of instructions it takes to do something with ARM is higher than it is on an x86

It means its still ARM based and thus it sucks!
Ross Perot is awesome! Damn shame that Clinton got elected.
You forgot the destroyed Ozone layer due to hydrogen leakage.
My 555 timer based cure for cancer should have won. Go ahead and call me a sore loser.
The states don't want to give up the money they make off of drunk drivers. It won't happen.
A bit????
