What exactly is the point of MicroSIM anyway? To make it easier to lose?
As you can see from the pictures, a regular SIM card wastes several mm^2 of space. Apple used the extra space to implement awesomeness and a fancyfier.
Just like that? The entire agricultural system that struggles to feed the more than 6 billion humans will just be tweaked a little bit and everything goes on just as before?
Yes.
And you'd better not ask for more evidence than that! Because khallow said so!
I want the data actually used.. which means the data post-adjustment (because thats what climate scientists use).. and then I want those adjustments explained and justified in detail, and the adjustments verified.. which means also having the data pre-adjustment.
Until I have that, I cannot verify jack shit.
Are you actually going to do the verification? I suppose you'd want the data from the LHC next, so you can verify whatever conclusions people will make on that before you'll believe it.

Ok, moderators. What part of the above quote requires insight?
Nothing of note. If they pull out publicly, they will continue to work with the Chinese through third parties. Shareholders don't give a damn about human rights or free speech. They just want their money.
Seems to me this is what needs to change. So far they've used arguments such as "it's just business", and "free market", but shareholders are (or should be) moral and ethical human beings. At the end of the day greed will get us all into trouble.
In theory the black hole can start from the mass of an atom and increase in mass to the mass of the Earth (plus us of course).
What theory is that? IANAP but as far as I know Hawking radiation is inversely proportional to the mass of the black hole. For the kinds of masses we're talking about at the LHC the black hole would dissipate very quickly.
And if the theory suggests that it is possible, why haven't we seen one yet coming from cosmic background radiation?
Film--a piece of thin cellulose or plastic, that may contain pictures. Once upon a time, all motion pictures were films, because that's all there was.
You forgot to say 'has vastly superior resolution to a digital movie'
The resolution may have been higher, but that doesn't mean it looks "sharper". Production quality and optics make a big difference. Just look at the difference between big and small budget Hollywood movies of the sixties and seventies.
Who could have possibly predicted that accepting hundreds of billions of dollars from governments over the last couple of decades could have somehow politicized Science?

For some reason people have a very romantic view of what it means to be a scientist. They seem to think that the scientists just pocket the money they get. All of it goes to research, i.e. salaries for post-docs, phd students, etc. (of the not Ferrari-driving nor private jet flying kind), equipment, and conference expenses. And it is expensive do to science.
But until you see scientists buying private jets, yachts and arrive at the university in Bugatti Veyrons, I suggest you calm down.
Remember that you can't compare symmetric and asymmetric schemes like that. Usually, in symmetric schemes the bits refer to the length of the password, where in asymmetric schemes it refers to the size of the prime numbers involved. For instance it took a good amount of time to break 64-bit DES at distributed.net, but a 663 bit prime number has been factorized using a general purpose algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA#Integer_factorization_and_RSA_problem).
That would be a 663 bit NUMBER. Even I can factorize prime numbers:P
3. If you can, use public key authentication. Let’s see them brute-force a 2048 bit key!

Also, if Anthropogenic Global Warming were true, why hasn't recorded human history, vis-a-vis, the last 1,000 years or so, shown a consistent increase in global temperatures? It would be very easy to conclude that humans have been burning more wood over the prior year for the duration of their history (beginning prior to the last millennium) and that CO2 would also have been increasing year over year as well. But, there was a mini-ice age in the last millennium. That doesn't compute.
Here a simple answer: because you don't understand the exponential function and what variance is.

Now it has a legitimate page because of the controversy and the /. entry.

I don't think you need to worry for them. Now they'll only be making profits. Not obscene profits.
...metric, please.

He said that it would enable MPs to better communicate with their constituents and keep track of what they want.
So, how fat a pipe do you need for that? 100 Mb/s? 1 Gb/s?

I have a few questions.
1) Are you a very good programmer; and a good statistician?
2) Are you a climate researcher?
3) Did the reviewers, who reviewed said work, make errors?
4) If yes to all of the above, why haven't you published an article describing said errors?

Peer-review, people.

Or better yet. Let's absolve them of any regulation, since they're an American company. Wouldn't want to hurt them patriotic feelings.
...for analyzing the quality of massive amounts of data...
I have an algorithm that does that in O(1):
return "Not the best quality, but pretty good.";
Maybe you get a Schrodinger's black hole - it may or may not be there until you open the lid.
No, no, no. It's both there AND not there until you open the lid.
USPS.
They are more reliable. And you'll probably get your message through faster.

One would think the scientists are at least as worried about their lives as they are about their livelihood.
Can you imagine them saying "Let's destroy the planet so that we can get this grant."?
Doesn't really make any sense.
leaf springs work very well on trucks

Einstein had a theory about changing mass...are they saying they might have licked the problem of relativity?!
What problem? Unification with quantum mechanics?
