Modern jukeboxes automatically increase their library over the internet, as new songs come out.
While songs can be removed, for some regulars, hearing that new [insert top-40 band-du-jour] song once is too many, and most often the management doesn't even know which new songs are added, at least without looking regularly.
Most commercial bar-jukeboxes today have a remote control behind the bar
Waitstaff are able to de-prioritize a song that the regulars don't like, if some random joe walked in off the street and played something not to their liking
Some bars don't really care; but if you're the type of bar where your 'regulars' are 95% of your patrons, you cater to them and let some things slide (like backbones)
Smaller stars (like Sol) generally output much more heat, so the habitable zone due is much farther away from the edge of the start than for a larger, cooler star (from TFA).
As such, once you get out to the right distance (for Sol, it's between the outside of Venus' orbit to the inside of Mars' orbit, right about where we are), tidal forces from the primary no longer have the same warming effect that could boil away the oceans.
Remember, our tides come from our satellite (luna), and it doesn't exert enough force on us to mess up the Earth's core (just move our oceans around a bit)
Kinect detects the position of objects, while this system can only detect movement.
Not necessarily.
If two slightly different frequencies are used (one from each stereo speaker), then with some complex math and comparisons against previous frames a simulated environment can be built with only one microphone.
It may need to be calibrated each use (as different laptops have speakers/microphones in different physical locations across different models), but it can be approximated.
Then I'd really want to see one inspired by ':'...antigravity isn't easy:)
That problem can be solved much easier than a working antigravity solution (which would most likely require considerable amounts of power to maintain a 1G acceleration away from the planet, while maintaining slightly higher than surface rotational acceleration)
They could simply connect the upper and lower portions of the building via a set of poles in the 4th dimension.
Windows 7 Professional already burns iso images. Home / Home Premium, etc. do not. Obviously, we don't want home users downloading Linux and burning the.iso easily. We don't have to worry about the professionals, as they already have Linux.

Home-premium does allow burning of.ISO files (and some similar images) direct-to-disc.
I just did it last night, burning a SSD firmware updater to disc when Alcohol failed to finalize on W7x64-HP
Can these programs mirror the contents of one USB: drive to the other USB: drive? It's a pain trying to copy-and-paste files in drive 1 to the backup drive 2. THX.:-)
Hmm, rocky outcroppings, howling winds... throw in a horde of pillaging vikings and a volcano or two, and you've got the perfect setting for a heavy metal music video!
Which part exactly? The part where he actually shows the footage, or the part where he presses a button and automagically hacks into the TVs in the courtroom?
With recent internet and wifi-connected TVs being released by many major manufacturers? Both
But don't worry, the Earth is guaranteed to get nuked someday. For example, when the sun expands to cover the earth's orbit.
Unless we develop a way to launch our Earth out of Sol's orbit and go on an intergalactic joyride, perhaps dragging some mini-suns or additional planets with us?
I had my bank card frauded a few times, and my bank put me on the top of the list for the "new" chip-enhanced debit-cards.
My Debit card was chipped before my credit card, and I cancel any sale at a retailer that still wants to swipe my card and simply walk away.
So, all these pulsars (like everything else in the universe) are always in motion...
It's hard, but that is why there is that lousy accuracy of 5-10 km.
5-10km isn't all that lousy, when you're trying to find your position within light-seconds of the nearest major celestial body. This would give you about 3/10000, or 0.0000003% margin of error to avoid running into that star/planet/signularity
For avoiding space-dust and the like you wouldn't need this (you could use radar, or something similar)
Surprising the probes made it anywhere, the Russians used robots to probe Chernobyl, and aide the clean up, but the radiation was so high it destroyed the electronics, admittedly todays equipment is though out and designed for this. So either this is media or Japan anti-nuclear hype, or Tepco still has no idea what is going on.
TFA states that they can't send robots in for very long before the electronics get messed, and that's why they have to develop stronger robots, radiation-hardened and whatnot
I remember reading somewhere several years ago about a German navy sub that collided with the coast of Norway, but I'm having trouble finding a link to that one...

Can you give us a car-analogy for that?
According to Google; 150 000 mi = 241 401.6 kilometers
According to Wikipedia; A new-style VW beetle is 4.129m (4129mm)
A bit of calculation shows that this Google Autonomous Car has driven the length of about 58.5 million VW beetles

Just in time for Season 4
In the /. editors' defense it was several hours ago and the new boss is that dude from Memento.
Should he have remembered this post, then, and not posted the "original" story?
Which part exactly? The part where he actually shows the footage, or the part where he presses a button and automagically hacks into the TVs in the courtroom?

And toast.
Yeah, Toast!

We apologise for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.
When asked, leaders of the legislature said "Yeah, we know its unconstitutional, but tomorrow we're making the Constitution illegal."
Perfect!
They'll be violating their own law, as I'm sure someone would be offended by that, and themselves will be sent to prison.
+1 this

Whoa, we need a Venn diagram here.

Yo, dawg...

'They shouldn't oughta said that. About Godzilla. They shouldn't oughta laughed. We had our earthquakes here, you didn't laugh at us.'
So, when will we be hearing the bang from the supernova?
That depends on what you go back in time and fill space with, through which the sounds created by the supernova can propagate
Mentioning Nazis isn't a Godwin, dammit. You have to make a comparison to Nazis.
And there we go, pop-culture law-nazi....
That said- just about all countries have thier idiosyncracies... ... admittedly America has more than most.
Not more idiosyncracies; just less "syncracies"...

I believe it was in Stephenson's Cryptonomicon
And all humor begins with not taking things too seriously.
Not all humor
In direct contrast to your statement, I often find my self laughing at people taking things too seriously.
