It's estimated that now over 50% of the biomass of the world's oceans is jellyfish, in some cases completely displacing all other biosystems. One other human activity vector that has impacted jellyfish populations is shipping, transporting species globally to locations with no predators. The warming of waters by nuclear power may locally cause phenomenon which encourage jellyfish growth also. If you could avoid destroying other marine life, maybe the answer to the cooling intakes is "will it blend?".
Japan’s nuclear power plants have been under attack by jellyfish since the 1960s, with up to 150 tons per day having to be removed from the cooling system of just one power plant.
...
That’s just what happened when the Mnemiopsis jellyfish (a kind of comb jelly) invaded the Black Sea. The creatures arrived from the east coast of the US in seawater ballast (seawater a ship takes into its hold once it has discharged its cargo to retain its stability), and by the 1980s they were taking over. Prior to their arrival, Bulgaria, Romania, and Georgia had robust fisheries, with anchovies and sturgeon being important resources. As the jellyfish increased, the anchovies and other valuable fish vanished, and along with them went the sturgeon, the long-beloved source of blini toppings.
By 2002 the total weight of Mnemiopsis in the Black Sea had grown so prodigiously that it was estimated to be ten times greater than the weight of all fish caught throughout the entire world in a year. The Black Sea had become effectively jellified. Nobody knows precisely how or why the jellyfish replaced the valuable fish species, but four hypotheses have been put forward.
Speaking of Windows sounds: Ever hear a person say "h", "t", "t", "p", "colon", "backslash", "backslash",... ? It merits a face palm and a heavy sigh.

You mean did they test it on improperly calibrated monitors with blown out whites? Go to this site, and reduce your lcd contrast controls until you can see the various grays, because it looks like one would expect even on my adobeRGB wide gamut calibrated display and with Firefox color management mode turned on.

Not necessarily kill the fancy graphics, destroy the useless big pictures. I get very irritated at the wordpress blog sites that have to Google for some barely-related huge picture to stick at the top of a story; do that and you've started down the path of making Slashdot just another blog with comments. On Slashdot, the comments are the content.

Trading firms are always competing for the edge in trading speed, and have their own inter-exchange private microwave networks. Microwave beats fiber, as the speed of light through the atmosphere is nearly c vs high-speed fiber at 60% or copper at 72%. This technology has made obsolete dedicated high speed fiber lines for trading, some of which charted new paths through dense Appalachian rock to achieve the shortest distance.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Globex) already has one of the fastest links that can be constructed between it's colocation and the NASDAQ New Jersey data center.
Unparalleled Speed: Microwave connectivity provides customers the quickest market data delivery option from Carteret to Aurora – under 4.25 milliseconds (one-way) versus 6.65 milliseconds on the fastest fiber route.
What the article doesn't discuss is the exact nature of the electronic dissemination of the news. Chicago may have a time slew in it's time standard, or the release may have technically not been at precisely 2:00:00.0000000 - either could make an apparent time warp in the trade data. We would hope the article's author has done all the technical research before making an allegation that impropriety has taken place.

>>would I want to use compression at all, if my goal is speed?
Compression speeds up SSDs, pretty much universally. The speed of reading and writing to the memory cells is limited, but a 200MB/s data transfer speed becomes 300MB/s after the data is compressed/decompressed on the fly. The current generation of Intel drives do use compression in just this way to speed performance (but not to increase apparent size). I cannot see the advantage to disabling any compression as it is currently used with the present flash controller technology.
This is not "overclocking". Intel has used a very bad word to describe user configurable storage parameters, and many/.ers commenting here obviously couldn't RTFA.
I would say a poem should be chosen by astrophysicists or poets, but the whole concept is just to interest the public in something ultimately non-scientific.

It might be cheaper than printing a poem sticker, and more interesting also, to simply state that when you view the poem over your WiFi connection, you are sending electromagnetic signals out of the atmosphere, (past triads of listening satellites), and some photons of your WiFi access point's message may reach Mars if it's visible in the sky.
The forking was fixed within a few hours. Mining pools were notified of the issue and alerted to the recommendation to revert mining activity back to 0.7.x, which was a simple fix to grow a blockchain compatible with all mining pool Bitcoin versions. The majority of miners ignoring the incompatible fork (which caused a "Lock table is out of available lock entries" database error on Bitcoins compiled against certain BerkeleyDB libraries), let the new fork grow longer and all is fixed.
Almost all transactions are expected to be included in the new chain, so there is little opportunity for malfeasance. If you sent someone money for goods, your transaction sending money will likely be in both the new chain and the old.
What it means is that if you want to verify someone's work history, you call up that company, and they will give you a third-party service to call to verify employment at their company. Negotiate a huge phone tree, and you find out you have to sign up for that service in order to verify employment.
Seems like a scummy way of preventing your employees from changing jobs, getting loans, etc. by outsourcing something you should be mandated into doing to a fee-charging company.
I guess Oregon doesn't research foreign languages well, knew an Indonesian who had "CIMENG" (slang, google image search will reveal a meaning now), and "ANJING" (means dog, but it an expletive when yelled out, like "fuck!", when you are mad).
You should have a look at the website of the company actually selling the turnkey technology that is prepackaged on multiple brands of retail-oriented wi-fi routers.
Notable is that the information doesn't just stay in the store, it is collected and aggregated by the company's cloud service. Conceivably they could track your movements to and between any location using this service, with no advertising or warning of it's presence at all. It can be another Google Analytics, where the service represents itself as provided for free to stores to help market to your customers, but it is actually part of a larger data gathering campaign.
There is privacy-regulation-scale potential here, they can collect metrics that a particular user went into the mall, walked by Radio Shack, went into Bed Bath and Beyond for about 15 minutes (tap your phone here to pay...), went back into Radio Shack. Then they came back to the mall a week later, after going to the library, the mall across town, the coffee shop, in this motel in another town town, and in a hotel in Hawaii. They paid for wi-fi service in the coffee shop and in the hotel, so BTW, here is who they actually are.
>> Why didn't the owners of AFP and The Post just pay him off?
AFP didn't just not pay him off, after the photographer's agent sent take-down notices to AFP, AFP sued him. Then they sent a message over the wire service to kill all of Morel's own images, but not the identical images that had been sent out initially under the false credit.
AFP deserves even more of a serious courtroom smackdown equivalent
Here's the lore of putting a "duck" in your software development:
This started as a piece of Interplay corporate lore. It was well known that producers (a game industry position, roughly equivalent to PMs) had to make a change to everything that was done. The assumption was that subconsciously they felt that if they didn't, they weren't adding value.
The artist working on the queen animations for Battle Chess was aware of this tendency, and came up with an innovative solution. He did the animations for the queen the way that he felt would be best, with one addition: he gave the queen a pet duck. He animated this duck through all of the queen's animations, had it flapping around the corners. He also took great care to make sure that it never overlapped the "actual" animation.
Eventually, it came time for the producer to review the animation set for the queen. The producer sat down and watched all of the animations. When they were done, he turned to the artist and said, "that looks great. Just one thing - get rid of the duck."
This is on the Battle Chess Wikipedia page though:
The true story about the duck: It originated at Interplay before Battle Chess. It was a running joke that our Electronic Arts producer - who was fond of meddling while simultaneously being clueless about game design - needed to have his ego stroked by being channeled into harmless changes that made him feel empowered. There was no actual duck originally - that was just a metaphor for anything that could be used as a red herring to keep him distracted. Battle Chess never needed a duck since we jettisoned EA specifically because of the aforementioned (but not named) producer unintentionally convincing Interplay to go independent of EA (there were no outside influences to that needed subtle manipulation). But the duck lore had started and it remained something we constantly joked about and eventually began sneaking into the games. Why a duck?
