As with most (all?) engineered wood products - what about when it gets wet?
From TFA:
Swelling introduces a large number of nano-defects in the cellulose structure. Although there is little swelling of a single CNC, water can penetrate into amorphous cellulose with ease, pushing apart the individual cellulose molecules in those regions. In addition, the bonds and interfaces between neighboring CNC will be disrupted, thereby significantly reducing the strength of any material reinforced with CNCs. To make matters worse, water can move easily over the surface/interfaces of the CNCs, thereby allowing water to penetrate far into a composite containing CNCs.
They suggest painting it. To be honest, I'm a skeptic. We wore body armor during my time in Iraq, and the abuse that our gear received cannot be overstated. Rain, heat, jumping over walls, dealing with mud. No thanks, I'll stick with Kevlar.
The access codes are just one part of a bigger problem: textbook prices. For one class this semester, I was able to purchase a Kindle, the $50 lighted Kindle case, and the Kindle version of the textbook for a combined cost that is less than the price of the hardcover textbook.
Also - it wouldn't be such an obvious scam if you could purchase only the access code and acquire your book from the secondary market. In all instances that I've seen, the access codes come only with new books.
I'm always tempted to blame the professors for choosing course materials like this; however, on more than one occasion I've heard professors complaining about pressure to switch to the latest edition. Pressure from whom? I have no idea...
I have an old laptop with a large external hard drive, running iTunes, hooked into my home audio setup. The laptop itself is tucked away out of view but always left on with iTunes up.
My iPhone 3G is a dedicated iTunes remote. If I have guests over (or even if it's just me), I pick up the remote and pick a song, change the song, adjust the volume.
I'll concur regarding the Samsung ML-2851ND. If you're only printing ~2000 pages per year, you won't need much more than this. This printer can be had for $150-$200 and a 5000-page toner is $100. These are great prices for a networked duplexing laser printer, and I like it better than the low-end HP offerings (2015, 2035, etc).
As much as I'd like to push out firefox for my users, I have many users in a domain environment with mapped applications directory; firefox is simply unmanageable in this environment.
Of all the improvements they are making in firefox, they are ignoring a potentially very large audience by not including some way to manage the browser in a corporate environment.
Not to mention Sharepoint integration, or lack thereof. This is a #1 sticking point for us.
I now use Chrome at home and at work almost exclusively.
-It's extremely fast when loading. -If one tab crashes the rest of my browser doesn't go down with it - I know everyone's been to the buggy flash site that brings the world down -Tab support is amazing - dragging tabs in and out of windows. -It's clean - there's not a lot of junk cluttering up my toolbars. It feels as though I get more relevant information on the screen.
Use it for one full day and you won't go back - outstanding for a first-release beta. It took Firefox 3 until nearly the final release to get this kind of stability.
There are a few things to be desired: -Shortcuts for going to alternate TLD's from the address bar (e.g. ctrl+shift+enter for.org, shift+enter for.net). This is an excellent feature of Firefox. -Livetitle -- love to see what the woot is! -A way to go to your home page aside from alt+home
This isn't evolutionary adaptation - it's much more simple than that. If you start killing all of the lizards with long legs, the ones with short legs are going to mate and have offspring with short legs. There is nothing new or "adapted." Also, if the short-legged ones get away and the long-legged ones don't, isn't that going to inherently affect how many have long legs and how many have short, by proportion?
Fortres 101 is a good program they used to use when I was in high school. Easy to configure and lots of options on what you want restricted. You can really lock down pretty much whatever you want. Also looking on their website they have educational pricing.

We don't experience this problem *now* merely because we don't have any structure that tall, but if something of this magnitude was built, wouldn't the earths rotation have some sort of effect on this?

$5.8m may be "peanuts" (and I am well aware of the fact).... but if it were that simple.... why don't I have bullets? Why is the kevlar helmet I wear to combat the same one marines wore twenty-five years ago?
It's a political playground much larger than I can try to imagine...I'm just asking the simple question of where our priorities are.
I'm a grunt in the USMC (former computer geek...who would have figured?) Anyways... I'm about to go *back* to Iraq in September. The high brass has some f*ed up priorities some times.... the army has $5.8mil to contract out *research* to some company for technology what.... 10-15 years away at the minimum? Meanwhile the Marine Corps is scraping nickles and dimes to get us basic equipment the army has had for most of a decade. Hell, when we go to the field to train, we often have to yell "bang! bang!" because we don't get enough (or any) blank rounds for training. Imagine if they took just ONE Osprey off the project..... maybe then I wouldn't have a hand-me-down-from-the-army m16a2 (does the army use them anymore?)
Right now any attempted hack on Government systems would be considered illegal and bad. As soon as you open the floodgates for "white hat" hackers to help you, a) it becomes much more difficult to discern between "good" and "bad" traffic (meaning some people would be out to help you, some would be out to hurt you) and b) it would bring much more attention to hacking your network in general. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have 100(arbitrary) people trying to hack our government than 1 million people trying to hack our government -- the chance for success is much greater (yes, those numbers are made up and exaggerated). The only time I can see something like this being effective is when the system being attacked is either a honeypot (see above) or..... ? You're forgetting that telling people to hack the government isn't just telling someone to hack any old computer -- success is potential disaster.
It's not Intel's fault, it's the fault of HP and Gateway for loading their PC's full of crap bloatware. Anyways, this case is almost as dumb as all of those people suing Al Quaeda...
I'll second that.... I was expecting some dumb american version that plays mp3s and dances or something stupid, but it seems as if their "smart" appliances will actually have legitimate uses and seem quite innovative. I just wonder how long a) it will take for these to seep into US/European markets or b) US/European manufacturers and engineers to get the same mindset for useful devices........ I'm counting on the former =P
This task would be pretty herculean =P It's not just a matter of modifying software (like the DC hack) but actually modifying the hardware. Most good switches have layer3 capability already, for configuration and such, but you'd need to insert some sort of module with the stuff you need. Also, since switches segment networks, you'd need to hook the device to *every* port of the switch. You'd also be in the realm of simulating MAC addresses and all of that stuff. Switches are layer2 devices, all of this other networking stuff is layer3 and up. Basically, hooking up a dreamcast would be much easier.

My favorite part about the internet at this time was the high level of reliabNO CARRIER
The numbers speak for themselves:
Chrome release: September 2008
Chrome market share; Dec 2009: 4.63%
Chrome market share; Feb 12011: 10.7%
Android release: September 2008
Android smartphone market share; Q1 2010: 9%
Android smartphone market share; Q4 2010: 33%
This is not the job or purpose of the federal government.
So does this means the libs are admitting that the surge worked?
You're missing the point; once these devices become compromised your internet activity is at risk, whether you have a router or not.
Poisoning DNS, routing tables, etc. This stuff is bad news.
I'll concur regarding the Samsung ML-2851ND. If you're only printing ~2000 pages per year, you won't need much more than this. This printer can be had for $150-$200 and a 5000-page toner is $100.
