Yeah, and they didn't need to import talent to figure this out.
Some guy at MIT published a paper a few years back indicating that people driving like assholes in Boston creates traffic waves which increases congestion by NN % where NN is some large number.
I need to journey down to Mordor once in a while, and I'll tell you - using a turn signal on the highway near Boston is considered a sign of weakness that needs to be punished by the herd.
Oh, but IBM was twenty years late and fifty gazillion dollars over on the air traffic control system, so let's ask them to consult on a far more complex system.
I didn't learn from TFAs what Mozilla's commitment is to this. It seems like a good idea, but Mozilla has such a long history of abandoning really good ideas when they turn out not to be easy.
.Scarcity of oil creates price signals that are fed back into (capitalist) society in a feedback loop.
The trick seems to be timing. At this point, real estate in Dallas being bought with a 30-year mortgage ought to have water cost factored into the price. AFAICT, it doesn't yet. Maybe 10 years out it will, but that's not usually how property is financed.
I dunno, maybe they'll build an 80' pipeline from the Great Lakes. Probably cheaper than the collective depreciation on all the property in Texas, but if that's the case, how much of the wealth is illusory?
Gunk can get stuck in the holes and it has to be washed off, which requires a fair amount of work because I have to break the interaction between the gunk and the surface. That's your macroscopic intuition about how filters and such work.
I think people may be basing their assumptions on typical RO membranes, which are microscopic in function and do get gunked up and need to be replaced. In fact, that's next on my project list for the kitchen, after I get done wasting time on/.;)
If others have found a way to abundance of energy, we won't need graphene to desalinate water.
You'd still want both. If you need a given volume of water, you either need a process that's 1000x faster or 1000x the infrastructure. Infrastructure isn't cheap, no matter how much energy you have.
That wouldn't be huge, that would be disruptive.
Perhaps you've noticed the power structure doing less than the minimum it can excuse as valid in this area?

Much of the southern United States will be uninhabitable within our lifetimes if they do not secure another source of fresh water
yet if you mention this to people who live there they go absolutely bonkers denial on you. I guess I'm not speaking about the small minority who will profit from doing the math.
On an embedded system, you'll be saving 5-10% memory usage by only supporting X32 and not X64. It may be worth it...
Yeah, this was my thought as well. x86 just doesn't seem to happen much in the embedded space, but I guess somewhere there is an embedded x86 vendor running millions of units (perhaps the contributor).
I doubt it's the +10% memory size that's keeping vendors away from x86, though.
the article specifically mentions that military GPS signals are encrypted
Nobody really thinks they broke the encrypted GPS. They think they jammed all signals to the drone and then fed them a spoofed GPS signal for the failsafe 'return to base' condition. Since the signals were jammed, the remote destruct instruction couldn't get through. Who wants to be the guy who is disarming the self-destruct on the drone while the signal jammer is still running?
Of course, all this is fairly impressive for people who live in sand huts and spend their days searching for muddy water.
The one big redeeming feature of PHP is you set up a single DB server (or even multimaster) plus multiple webservers, and bam! You're sharing objects/sessions among the webservers.
Can you link the popular solution here? Is it serializing sessions on every transaction?
While this radar is probably too big to put in a fighter
But not a Navy ship. Which is also likely to have directed energy weapons in the near future too.
Since an enemy sailor on deck has a larger RADAR profile than a raindrop, being one within visible range of one of these US Navy ships will be very bad for your health. With just a little bit of automation, a 'killall' command takes on new meaning.
... what the best way will be, any anybody who professes omniscience on this is lying to you. We'll have to experiment to find the best solution.
If you're in the US, ask your legislators to support a short act to make such experiments legal. Right now, trying to figure this out is a good way to land in prison.
there is little shared memory for the bloated, buggy mess that was Mac OS 6-9.
bloated? Until recently I had a G3 that would boot both. OS9 started in about 10 seconds - OSX took about 2 minutes. OS9 was comfortable inside 16MB. OSX preferred about a quarter gig on that system. Everything about the UI was much faster on OS9.
Rail against its non-modern architecture all you want, but it doesn't make sense to call it 'bloated'.
In any case, if Assange wants to avoid extradition to the US, Sweden is a hell of a lot safer for him than the UK! The UK government hands over anyone and everyone if the US shows as much as a passing interest in prosecuting. Our government doesn't even ask for evidence!
The UK's extradition treaty does not have the temporary surrender ('conditional release') clause. The UK's judicial review process, while far from perfect, has a number of practical review mechanisms. The nearest equivalent case, of Gary McKinnon - a UK citizen who has been charged for hacking US military systems - has been opposed in the courts for 8 years.
On the other hand, Sweden will not extradite anyone for political crimes or where the death penalty may be applied.
Sweden has in the recent past violated international treaties in relation to surrendering foreign nationals into US custody to be interrogated and tortured (case of extraordinary rendition, Agiza v. Sweden at the European Court of Human Rights). Furthermore, Amnesty International and the UN Committee against Torture criticised Sweden because it rendered two refugees to the CIA who were then tortured under the Egyptian regime of Hosni Mubarak. (A documentary with the testimony of tortured refugees who had been granted asylum and then rendered to the CIA by Sweden was aired on Swedish television on 5 October 2011.
As per GPLv3: canonical needs to provide some way so an end user can sign his/her new custom version of GRUB2 to replace the original own.
Well, this makes the most sense. Boot once with a GPLv2 bootloader, to (bootstrap the bootstrapping?) and then sign and install with the user's keys. This will be the most trustworthy approach, as long as the user keeps his system secure (imagining the rootkit that finds the user keys, suckers the passphrase out of the user, and installs its own bootloader - remote but possible).
People who don't care at all about that could continue to use the GPLv2 bootloader.

Trying to manufacture controversy and thus get pageviews.
Anybody who posts topical responses here is just going to encourage future 'stories' of the same type.
Control yourselves, folks - don't be a puppet.

not disagreeing with your assessment, but:

I think people may be basing their assumptions on typical RO membranes, which are microscopic in function and do get gunked up and need to be replaced. In fact, that's next on my project list for the kitchen, after I get done wasting time on /. ;)

The timing was coincident with localtime leap-second, anyway (system clock is UTC). After rebooting the machine things look fine.
I gave up spamfighting as a hobby
All but a few noble souls have. The rest who run mailservers set up spamassassin to auto-update rules and go on to other tasks.
I'm not getting how that's not language-agnostic...

Flash is being ostracized from the net too quickly, before mature tools to replace it are ready
It'll be a bit rough for a year or two, but now it'll happen in a year or two, instead of five or ten.
I'm just really surprised Adobe is doing this.
Raise your hand if you want "social media" mixed with your TV watching experience. *crickets*
Facebook wall activity: "Charles is watching Gilmore Girls on CWTV."
That's backwards. It's "Bill is watching videos his friends posted to Facebook. Hasn't watched TV in ages."
I just hope that Google doesn't blame being made in the USA for its eventual failure in the market.
Yeah, that's exactly what seems likely. :(

The Iranians were VERY careful not to show the underside of the drone, which is the part most likely to sustain crash damage.
Right. Common wisdom is that they screwed up the altitude calculation on the spoofed GPS signal.

he just stole* the information from a /. post.
Was the Slashdot poster an expert on the religious writings of Saxony in 774, or did he Google it (too?)?
The Christ from the mythology was born in "the year 1 after Christ". Funny.
Or, according to historians, more likely 7 years 'before Christ'.
Actually, I'm not sure if Yoshua of Nazereth was was 'the Christ' until about 26 'after Christ'. Some theologian will have to help out there.
Oh, the Causality!
