I mean, it doesn't have any authentication or authorization methods at all. What's wrong with these Europeans? It's not my fault they didn't guard their router configs...
My understand is, that at least in Cambridge, Verizon doesn't want to pay to support public access television. Comcast already pays lots of $$ to CCTV (hence their nice shiny offices in a nice new building). Not sure I blame them. But this deadlock has gone on for over a decade. It's time it was broken, and FiOS arrive in the city.
If these cold be produced in large quantities and were cheap enough, I wonder how well we could progress in the creation of antimatter. If we could do so, and could improve the penning trap so that the antimatter could be kept for a long time, then many problems with space travel would be solved.
It is not the drug (desomorphine) that kills, it is the impurities, mostly silica put into the codeine pills to poison people who try to make illicit drugs out of them. It is the government that is killing people by requiring these adulterants.
It's not the Internet without the USA. Sure, take and do what you want, filter all and so forth, but once you disconnect the USA, in its entirety, from your little country's network then it is not the Internet. I am not saying this to condone or damn NSA surveillance; I am just stating the facts.
thank you for pointing this out. too many wymmyn want to use this incident as ammunition in their war against men, truth be damned (yeah I have been to Salem many times and survived the tourist trap to find the history).
assuming every person executed for witchcraft at the time is a popular historical mistake. At least four of the victims were men. That doesn't give me much confidence in the rest of the article.
Please don't. The world has enough crap code as it is. Unless your code is GOOD, keep it to yourself. You may think 'well, it may be bad, but someone will find a use for it' - but the very existence of bad code to solve a problem can keep goo code form evolving, as people adopt the crap. Please, fix your code before posting it for public consumption. If you can't, then find someone who can or mark it as 'crap code please fix - do not deploy!'. People will respect your for your honesty.
...would be funny if any of these positions actually went to native Bostonians. But they won't; no doubt they'll be mostly MIT/Harvard/BU students and alumni from all over the world. And none of them will be older than 30 years.
yes, you are right. We need lots of energy in forms easy to utilize it, where and when we want them, and the ability to do with without incurring great expense is difficult. Nuclear-electric provides this. Other solutions, not so well.
100 mSv is the lowest dose linked to an increased risk of cancer (source: http://xkcd.com/radiation/). I imagine the risk would be much less when iodine supplements are taken. Since the Japanese are a generally cautious people, I expect this was the case.
I am confused - did the upside-down sensors cause the other problems as well, such as the early disconnect of wiring, or are these all separate failures? If it's the latter, there needs to be some serious effort made to improve the design and construction.
Nowhere do I see mention of these arduinos being special, radiation-hardened versions. Nowhere, is there mention about extended temperature range, vibration, etc. These are all important if the mission is expected to succeed. Sure, it might be reasonable to expect a certain fatality rate among a flock of launched devices, and do cost accounting to figure out what tradeoffs can be made. I find it difficult, however, to believe that the current cost of launch, by weight, is lower than the cost of providing reliable hardware.
This is not meant to slight Arduino. I think it's great, but it's made to be a low-cost solution for instances where there is not much demand for reliability, and certainly not for such places where there is a demand for reliability under difficult circumstances. This project is a mistake, a waste of money, and courting disaster. I wish that all of those who had senior authority to approve this project to get fired, and to spend some time in hell (Hell is pretty bad. So, on the scale of things, about twenty minutes should do).
There's the whole problem of what is 'nature' and what 'use' means. Is not man a part of nature? Are we not just clever monkeys? The only thing outside of nature is the supernatural, but last I checked, neither gods nor ghosts were making much of anything.
life-friendly chemistry. WTF does that mean? "nontoxic and water-based" - ok, so now it's all about what solvents are involved? Water is a great solvent, but right now I am enjoying it mixed with some ethanol. Than you, yeasts. Yeast is natural, right?
What is the matter with high heat? Are you afraid of fire, Ms Benyus? I think you are. Fire from coal is pretty intimidating, for sure, but also very useful. Coal, iron, and steam changed the world but people like Benyus probably don't think it was for the better. You worship the sun, the wind, the moon. You don't want to think about the fire from the earth, the fire beneath the earth, energy that comes from other tan your god, Sol. You don't like coal, or petroleum, or nuclear power. But you won't tell yourself why. You just don't think they're 'natural'.

yeah, it's 1/3 the size of a 9mm bullet.

There Internet (Arpanet) existed before WWW. WWW is a subset of the Internet.

Living in Massachusetts, I can tell you that Mass Hysteria is a very real disease.

Earth is in imminent danger from it and we can blast it to bits
Forced gender change is debasement, mutilation, and torture of the highest degree.
Animals are now obsolete. The plants can kill us off now, watch our for your cucumbers and geraniums.
Or is this BrownTooth?
product, I meant, not produce!
Actually, I worked for a company that did speech recognition as part of its produce many years ago. The found the hardest accent was Indian.

They give you a piece of paper with a block dot on it.

I wish there was a 'like' button here.
I'd mod you up.
