As the article explains, and a sibling post to yours elaborates, these were the mechanisms that go inside the housing on the tip of the missile, although it's not clear exactly what was in them when they were shipped. Whether missile engineers and crews use "nose cone" to refer to the housing, the innards (as is the case here) or to the combination of the two, I have no idea.
In layman's terms, as I said, these are much closer to a "nose cone" than to what the OP probably envisioned when he read "fuse". (Yes, it should be "fuze". For consistency with TFA, I used the spelling they chose.) It is absolutely nothing like the thing that goes under your dashboard.
If I'm understanding TFA correctly, the "fuse" is what a layman would consider the nose cone, or at least the body of the cone. It's not like a fuse you change in your fusebox or under your dashboard.
Sorry, here's the first entry in the DailyWTF series. Be sure to read through to the part where the business plan evolves to strapping a laptop, solar cell and satellite dish to a donkey and sending it through rural India!
I hope this works better than Houston's attempt to create their own office suite, the only notable result of which was a full week of Daily WTF stories on its creation.
Groklaw's PJ notes that verification remains problematical, and "...the bottom line to me is that a process that worked perfectly well when folks all trusted each other falls into chaos when there are allegations of dirty tricks or undue pressure.
The screeching mob at Groklaw seems to be under the impression that, because until this standard came up for approval they thought "ISO" was just some setting on their CD burning software, this is the first time there's ever been controversy over one of their decisions. In fact, it's not the case that all their previous standards were reached by everyone hugging each other.
1) Paul's position is rather helpful compared to the Green Party, where the Massachusetts party actively supports the Khartoum government against Darfur!
2) That said, I don't understand why you're a "devoted fan" of the rest of the Libertarian platform but are so upset that he's taking a perfectly consistent position on this issue.
So what if the IP came from China? Are there not a billion people there, who probably do have computers with default exploitable installations of Linux or Windows that could be used to launch attacks elsewhere?
Exploitable installations of Linux?!? Unpossible!
Anyway, I don't think anyone is claiming that the FBI is taking these claims seriously, least of all the link, which doesn't even mention the FBI. Allyn Brooks-LaSure is free to float any wild theories he wants, but I'd be amazed if it were anything but some idiot script kiddie who was responsible.
But I look forward to a day when engineering, science, and humanities majors can put aside their differences, come together in a spirit of unity, and make fun of business majors.
You might want to flip through a finance text before sneering too much at business majors...
My comparison was between the capacity for making (or even appreciating) art between yer average Maths/Science/Engineering student and the average media studies one.
Again, I'm curious to learn how you determined that so conclusively.
I was careful to talk about 'his average student'. I've no doubt that there are true, budding auteur-geniuses among the media studies students. But the majority, in my experience, are not destined to make great art.
I still don't understand why you're so convinced the average CS major could be making great art. The only argument anyone seems to be making for that claim is that James Cameron has an engineering degree (which isn't even true) and that therefore every Java-mangling halfwit could also make Titanic.
Also, one writes "book reports" in fifth grade, not in any semi-respectable university. One gets the impression Aaron Rowe never actually took a humanities class beyond perhaps the most ludicrous one he could find to satisfy a requirement. Does he think English majors make dioramas, also?
I had a journal entry about Vancouver's nastiness after a business trip there a few years ago. I can't say I'm that regretful that the junkie who threw a syringe (with needle!) at me isn't going to be getting free WiFi.
Your grasp of astronomical chronology far exceeds mine, then. I'm not a Christian and have no interest in the holiday per se, but thought this article was a fascinating piece of science history, and certainly learned more science from the underlying astronomy and the computation thereof than I would have gotten from any ten Roland Piquepaille rehashings of press releases he doesn't understand.
Exactly. Who would possibly want this -- do I want the channel changing when my wife walks in the room and in front of the couch?
If they simply must market such a technology, at least put a biometric device on the remote. That would have to work better than some mysterious body shape recognition, give them the same marketing information and I can still watch Sanford and Son reruns in my underwear.
But anyone who wants to disapprove of OOXML had better dot every 'i' and cross every 't' if they want their vote to count, if past behavior is any indication.
If spelling counts, the open-source side is pretty much doomed. You might as well have CmdrTaco start drafting a concession speech right now.
I think the 40 or 50 refers to the iPhone deal, whereas the one linked here is about the ownership one. The whole thing seems like speculation, though.
The two articles seem to agree, or at least not disagree: the iPhone-only service would be subscription-based, while the iPod/iPhone would be ownership with DRM'd files.
(I will commend you for having read two articles, which is two more than any other posters seem to have looked at!)
I love Python, but it doesn't really serve as a good example for this discussion because of what another commenter refers to as "half-arsed support for a load of different paradigms". If you want to stretch your mind with immersion in a different way of doing things, Python's collection of diverse best practices isn't an efficient way to do it.
There is know need/point in wasting money in some ego race...
I'd read your previous comment comparing US education to "a supper massive black hole", considered suggesting that you leave advocacy of the British system to one of your fellow countrymen, and decided not to bother. You've left me no choice, though.

Hey, it's that guy from Afghanistan! What's Jon Katz up to these days?

This is Taiwan, not the PRC. They make the computers around which your nerdly life revolves.

So, properly this would make Penn "neoconservative".

There, now it's an official Science article.
Maybe you and the young female executive with the Air could do one of those "I'm a Mac...And I'm a PC" commercials.

Your link is completely mistaken. Gleevec is a great drug, but it absolutely does not "fix DNA". Wikipedia explains its mechanism correctly.
