First all media companies hype Apple ipads and ignore everything else in their reporting, hoping to finally lock in the user and get their piece of the cake without directly telling the user how much money they want, and completely forget how Apple fucks the users, and the the very same companies suddenly discover that Apple wants a larger piece of the cake.
Yes, dear Journalists, publishers etc. If you let yourself lock in to a single platform which sometimes is incompatible by definition to the knees of a single vendor who is famous for ignoring the economic interests of the rest of the companies producing sth for the platform, something bad will happen.
There was epub available. If enough companiess would have explained to apple that thats the format they will be delivering, respectively html5, Apples would have had a problem.
As a matter of fact, RSFQ id being tested right now for space constrained situations for transceivers. And it may pay off at some point to replace parts of conventional cell base stations by RSFQ ADCs.
I understand them and appreciate it. If you put some code out which has something fundamental unsettled (e.g. a phone functionality for something which may be used for mobile phones), then you are not only encouraging fragmentation but enforcing it. Because the manufacturers will enter a race to have "the first android 3.0 phones" (while i personally find 2.2/2.3 quite ok for phones), and then the developers will probably even have different APIs for different manufacturers.
Open source does not mean that you publish everything you are doing all the time, but open source means that you publish the steps which make sense as open source. As long as they dont claim that, everybody can decide if he/she likes to buy a closed source product or not.
i have to say that the article is interesting, but as far as i understand the fuel in the different reactors is different and has undergone a quite different history.
The data and evaluation seems a little weak to me in that respect.
Excuse me. Sure, i trust free web-services, who aehem usually are programmed in the cheapest way to get salting right. Such a thing has never happened before that IDs could be guessed.
Let me say it like this: if you dont want that people access it, then enrcypt it and dont put it to a free filehoster.
Maybe. maybe not. But don't forget that such a situation would have potential for disinformation. The most elegant solution would have been to take everybody in the house as prisoner into some secret prison and not disclosing what has happened and wait for intelligence information. Nobody could have asked questions. A lot of time to confuse him and the others there a little and wait what happens.
I don't judge the morality or ethics of all of this, but I suspect this was the plan. It could be the crash of the helicopter left no transport capacities or time.
Donate to the international red cross. i am sure they already spent some resources in Japan. If you donate then they can prepare for the next disaster.
Well, well. I am a scientist and i never encounter truth in my experiments. Truth is not a scientific category. The only scientific categories are: falsified theories, which result in hypotheses, which result in non-falsified theories until they are falsified on a more general base than the previous assumption and refined. The scientific progress is a circle. once you figure out something and model it, you can go to the limits of the model and refine the model to include the new boundaries of your experiments.
In that sense: Scientists did not "make up dark matter because some euquations demand it" but dark matter is one hypothesis on which currently theories are explored in order to explain why the experimental observations deviate from the earlier predictions. Which is what has happened to Heinrich Hertz or Max Planck. Once your description fits the world well enough to describe it in the known limit, you will find something strange.
Funny. you know what would be the quickest way to kill the iranian nuclear program? offer any high-level researcher there who want to live in los Alamos a free 1Milliondollar budget per year. Would cost nearly nothing in comparison to the instabilioty created by the nuclear weapons in the region, provide valuable information and kill the program there off.
I am not hurt. I did not buy a PS3 as a Linux system and gaming machine at the same time. Whoever did so is stupid. One thing i have learned in my life: If you are the smaller customer group affecting the larger customer group in any way, you lose if your interests collide. Never rely on a technical solution under these circumstances, and if you do, reserve the resources to dedicate duplicate resources in some way. Thats it. Don't buy consumer lines if you want to use something professionally unless you have a alternate source for it. Nevertheless, i think the customers should get some refund.
I am a very happy user of a Sony Reader running under linux and and i dont feel restricted or something.
The world honors if the mobile phones and the computer they play farmville on and let facebook fuck them in respect to their privacy for saving a few dollars per month. Whoever is best in making these work cheaply wins. The sales number indicate that everybody - even the most convinced labor union members - in the US and also in Europe buys whatever is cheapest.
I point out that up to now the production is in China. If the climate becomes to hostile for scientists in the US, the percentage of the well educated which will go there from the rest of the world to there will drop. That is happening right now and unless the trend reverses, there will be a problem.
China is right now investing an incredible amount of money in science. And an incredible amount of money in infrastructure. They have achieved an incredible progress in the last 40years, even if there seem to be some disturbances sometimes.
I can only say that i am ashamed of the West, who just managed to demonstrate its moral corruptness in norther Africa, and is discussing if it is ok again to torture people. We censor science and we track everybody, and most people are dumb enough to even allow this to companies.
Congratulations. If i look China is moving forward in average (it has a long way to go still, as even the Chinese government admits) and it seems the west is moving backwards.
I am sad to see this, because (being a European) i have always admired the US for their strong personal freedom and for a reason in politics unknown in Europe. The culture of political discussion in the US was inspiring for me when i listened to it twenty years ago, and it still is if you listen somewhat besides the area where Palin et al. are fighting. I don't care if the foreign politics was Macchiavellian, because it made sense. It was no accident that the scientists moved from Europe, and later, Asia, to the US fleeing the totalitarian regimes and helped to build the current success. Reverse it, drive the Elites away (and history shows they are the first to go) and this will add to the trouble.
The less scientists there are on the world, the higher my salary. Please go on teaching your students that scientific theories are stories about how it could be, without making any testable predictions.
That strategy and mind-set will be very helpful when doing fault-finding in semiconductors. In case the fault rate goes to high, please don't look for testable reasons, but invent a story how a higher intelligence planned out that a race condition or some glitch on the laptop sold to a specific customer is the will of god. The claim that it is very unlikely that a complex processor exists by coincidence and declare any working processor to be the work of a higher intelligence. Don't forget, you cant loose this argument - you cant be proven wrong, unless the stupid guy who tests one process gas after the other for purity - he is wrong all the time.
The fundamental difference between evolution and ID is that evolution tells me what should happen if i put bacteria in a nutrient and change the nutrient compostion slowly over 100000 generations of bacteria. ID doesn't.
Why does everybody collect and store all these data centrally?
Just store it locally, on the playstation, electronically signed and encrypted in a way that the customer has to enter a passphrase to decrypt it when its really needed. make the "it is needed" message also necessarily signed by an independent system with no other function. Let this system do a statistic. trigger an alarm if the number of signatures per minute is deviating significantly from the expected number.
a) yes it is hard to make a proper (*) file system "driver"
b) its not getting easier by the file-system being closed source
(*) proper here means: will under no circumstances behave in a way that you loose data trough silent corruption, as opposed to: will not normally loose data obviously after using if for a few hours.
I would say: the bandwidth you need grows proportionally with the amount of data you transfer. maybe thats the reason. i imagine you can send the most important telemetry data every 10sec using a rate of 300bps but to record pilot and copilot in high quality i think you will need 100 times more. if you have to use SW or satellite, you will be limited.
The function of a peer review is *not* to examine for intentional deception. This can not be done, since i could fake measurements, down to the device level. There have been examples of people having a black box, attached to measurement equipment, and everything was all right, just that in the black box there was an electronic circuit faking the desired behavior of a physical device seemingly attached to it, instead of the black box just being the biasing/preamplifier/signal preconditioning circuit, as originally claimed by the investivators.
What a good peer review should do is: Make sure that the experiment is consistently described and can be reproduced in another lab - or not, which was uncovered the black box fake mentioned above. In the case of the forgeries of samples collected in nature or biological samples this would obviously involve a description at which places and with which procedures dating was performed, and access to the original samples, as far as possible.
However we should mention that not all cases of this are discussed in public. Sometimes articles are plainly retracted by the authors for "experimental error" with a certain fraction of the science field knowing what was happening, but fearing for a loss of reputation because a possible flagship experiment is not available any more instead of a boost of reputation because the proper scientific culture of the field.
As an agnostic academic: How can you, probably without verifying his academic record a priory assume that a chair of a department is an idiot? just because he observes something in his faculty and obviously did not walk around enough on the campus to see other faculties have progressed faster does not make him an idiot.

And i love programmers how manage to encapsulate good ideas in a way that they are not harmful.
Pulse tube coolers are not terribly expensive and they are off the shelf components: http://www.oxinst.com/products/low-temperature/pulse-tube-coolers/single-stage-tube/Pages/single-stage-pulse-tube-cooler.aspx

1. there is a logic which is nearly fast enough. It's called RSFQ, but interfacing it to graphene may be difficult.
2. with RSFQ ADCs.
If its about analog mixing, you could use bolometer mixers, interfacing to RSFQ circuits.

you should not compare the life of the soldier to the life of bin Laden but to the lives which could have been saved by interrogating him.

Sony is running most new consumer devices under linux. For none besides the playstation anything was revoked.

Well to be honest *I* would not mind to enter a password one per month to legitimate payments if that keeps my data safe.
