Funny thing, I thought America LEAD the world. Or at least we used too. Time to start pushing the private sector to create the solutions we're going to need.
And that takes 'regulation' to force change ahead of where it would naturally happen.
It can't. It doesn't have the soil to do so without massive fertilizer injections, which are bad for the environment.
'We' may be able to adapt, but without plants and animals to support us we're pretty well screwed. Just look at the bee colony collapses, now scale up to global and you've got a serious food problem on your hands.
The 'propulsion' system is meters below the surface so it acts like an drogue slowing the craft down. It won't be blown with the wind.
I'm sure during a storm it moves multiple miles from initial position, but when you're 100-200 miles offshore that's not going to be an issue. After the storm passes it, it resumes moving about normally.
Or, you just send up a balloon with the data attached. Even multiple balloons for continued research. Or just a few hundred feet of cable. It isn't meant to last forever.
Communications are the easiest part of the issue. Robots climbing down walls and roving about what is likely a very unstable surface is monstrously hard. Especially if there's monsters!
The first one is the legal definition - which is all that matters.
In common language usage, yes 'stealing' can mean many things. Such cross action labeling is used when you want to impart the seriousness of taking something physical on to the significantly less important transfer of ideas or other non-tangible concepts.
The problem is the "Guilty until proven innocent" take on the stuff I do by legally. Why am I not allowed to copy it however I see fit? I bought it, and by 'it' I mean a license to use it, so I can use it wherever I like.
And if you want to argue I need a new license for every different 'use' of it, well you'll find most people won't agree with you when you explain that...
Check his wikipedia page, they show his ability to process oxygen being significantly higher than most people. Not highest ever, even among cyclists, but right up there at the top.
Being able to process oxygen better is one hell of an advantage in anything, let alone an endurance event like the TDF.
That's not the way it works. The fat cells still exist, they just aren't 'fat', etc. (massively simplified) When you get liposuction, they remove said fat cells and then the fat can't grow back in that region as well, because the cells are simply gone.
I was a wrestler in HS and college, I know plenty about losing weight and being very low on the fat % scale. And guess what, now in middle age, I've got my round midsection donut to prove those fat cells never left.
Hell even with this extra weight, I still don't frigging float! Sink like a rock.
Actually likely not. Lance actually is physically superior to most other people. He processes oxygen better than others by a large margin. Not the best ever, but way above others.
In peak condition his resting heart rate was 32 beats/minute. HALF of normal people in very good shape.
Now couple that with a very nasty cancer treatment that spread to his brain, lungs and abdomen. What sort of pain and suffering do you go through dealing with that? I'd bet he's dealt with more pain than most of his competitors every have or will.
So in a race where oxygen and pain tolerance are prime candidates for winners, on both counts he's significantly better than most people including most other cyclists. Fair bet he smokes them drugs or not.
No he didn't. DOPING is the taking something because it's a masking agent for a, wait for it, 'performance enchancing drug. So that it doesn't look like you've taken the enhancing drug.
They can catch the enhancements easy as pie, that's why 'doping' exists to mask the enchancements. So no, he's never 'doped'. He has admittedly taking enhancement products as part of his cancer treatment.
These would be the same priests who were highly enamored of the school bus of little boys or just the ones that helped hide the priests who were highly enamored of little boys?;-)
It isn't guaranteed of course, it was more a play on the 'impossibility' comment by the OP I responded too:)

So you're argument is that its 'hard'?

the growing belt to expand northward

No, they already have one...the Beijing Beltway
It doesn't just go in circles though correct? It's remotely controllable as to direction isn't it?
;-)
I suspect that in a hurricane, wind affected or not, it's gonna move off station...at lease a bit

Well the headline of TFA is...wait for it.... "Hurricane Isaac 2012: Wave Glider Robot ‘Alex’ Helps Forecast Path, Track and Trajectory of Storm:"
/. didn't do anything other than report the story as written.
The 'summary' here is basically the first few paragraphs of the article as well.
Or drive the few women in tech far far away....
So with pair programming, does the timeout for posting here get shortened?

Wouldn't an inflatable type air craft be perfect for that scenario?
The caves are 10 meters or more deep...

Well played. Well played.

i.e. it's used for effect, rather than substance.
If you want to be taken seriously, try using actual descriptions that match what you're talking about. Otherwise you're just another AC troll....
Warrant based on what? You need something to get the process started.

It's not called stealing. It is called infringement, but it isn't stealing by *any* definition.
Ah, I misread your post, I thought you meant him losing his fat through his exercising. Cancer treatments definitely kill things ;-)

In many cases one needs to go with the flow, and choose your battles wisely.
Cool, when do I get to choose skin color? Some battles can't be avoided. Something about sacrificing liberty for security....

BIG difference.
