The VTOL variant of the F35 was bound to have problems, who's crazy enough to think it would be easy to build a drive shaft capable of those kind of forces (I know I laughed when they announced the design). Besides the Brits changed their order to the F35C in October.
Plus it's a bit cursed being the last lead of a carrier battle group to lose a ship (HMS Sheffield, HMS Ardent, HMS Antelope, HMS Coventry and MV Atlantic Conveyor)
Exactly, I don't think body building has much to do with being a good soldier in the modern era, being smart and trainable is infinity more important. There are obviously exceptions like being able to carry a large number of rounds for something like the SAW but those can be mostly be overcome with improved technology (see Bigdog robot pack mule).
The big one that comes to mind is the susceptibility to disease due to lack of genetic diversity. All it takes is one mutation in some common disease, and not only is your herd / crop wiped out, but so is everyone's who bought the same clones.
Welcome to modern farming, witness the Cavendish banana, Haas avocado, Russet potato, Heavea rubber tree, and countless other varieties that are produced well in excess of 50% of worldwide consumption in their category. It's here today with cloning.
No, they are being cloned from the same sample that Dolly was cloned from. Since the DNA won't be exactly the same as the cell that was used to create Dolly I would say sisters is the most appropriate, unless they used DNA polymerase on the original cell and these are being created from that same cell's mass copied DNA in which case they are simply identical clones of the Dolly line =)
It will be soon in the US as well, the new ADA rules for websites go into affect March 15th 2011. link Of course the ADA website has most everything rules related in both HTML and PDF format so they obviously don't have a problem with PDF =)
The major problem with adoption is probably that most of the people running jobs on SC's are scientists not computer scientists. They use large piles of ancient, well tested libraries and only tweak small parts of the code that are specific to their problem. This means that most of those libraries will need to be ported to OpenCL and CUDA before adoption really picks up.
If you fire up nmap on my network you're caught in minutes (we physically located the pen testers inside of 15 minutes last time they came onsite for an unannounced test). Also the idea behind this is that you give the device to someone in IT to demo, that means it will likely get its MAC added to the switch. In security paranoid places all outbound traffic has to go through a proxy and there's little chance a printer would be allowed through that =)
There have been chunks of hollywood movies and full episodes of tv shows (including House) shot with the Canon 5D mk ii and that's 38Mbps including uncompressed audio (1.5-2.3Mbps depending on if it's 16 bit or 24bit) so I would say your claim is false.
Nikon's D7000 does 1080p30 at 26.56Mbps which is 9.56GB/hour, if you can fill a 2TB flash card with video doing anything productive you must be shooting an entire nature documentary on one card without offloading the video (bad idea!). Heck even raw 1080p30 video would only be ~.5TB/hour. You're right though that large format backs could eat through it fairly quickly shooting RAW.
We used 8 IP's in our block just to setup MS universal access gateway to allow secure access to OWA and some file shares (yeah I know, real efficient but hey there's no additional recurring charges and it just works with Win 7 no additional software to mess with).
I believe the problem was that some OS's preferred AAAA results even if they didn't have a working connected IPv6 address and hence the user got black holed from the site or majorly long delays for the connection to time out. According to Googles numbers ~.1% of internet users have broken dual stacks vs.26% have working IPv6 connections. There's also an average increase of ~150ms for a dual stacked host that connects to the IPv6 address. linky
Last time I looked the smallest block for an ASN was also a/24 so I'm not sure why you would necessarily want your own block that was smaller. Of course IANA and RIPE may have changed policies since I last looked into it as well.
salesforce.com is the biggest cloud player by far and they handle stuff that's about as valuable as any other confidential information a company has so I don't see why not. HIPAA compliance might be tough to achieve but all the other major regulations are already covered (PCI-DSS, SOX, etc).
He got a 2 week timeout for being reported for copyright infringement which is standard practice for YouTube. I haven't seen an explanation yet as to why he got removed from Google News but I doubt it has anything to do with any Google/US Government conspiracy like he claims.
I wonder what it costs to train, equip, feed, and transport a soldier, oh yeah a hell of a lot more than this weapon system so if it saves a few lives it pays for itself very quickly. That's the thing with having a professional standing army, it's really, really expensive even when they guys are just sitting around but replacing them when they start dying is insanely expensive.
This does that by making it less likely that the squad will have to use overwhelming fire like indirect strikes to take out the bad guy and thus should reduce unnecessary casualties. It will not eliminate civilian deaths, nothing can do that (Saddam and the Taliban were both pretty good at killing their own people in case you forgot), but more precise weapons are definitely one way to improve the badguy:civilian ratio.
The M79 rounds don't have time delay or range delay fuses, they are strictly impact triggered. Time delay is nice for when you want to shoot through a window or soft wall and have the round explode IN the room, range delay is nice for when you have someone hiding behind a fortified wall or in a foxhole and wish the round to explode over their head killing them despite any amount of intervening armor.
Exactly, when Fleet Boston was taken over by BoA I had my ACH payment scheduled, they sent me emails with confirmation numbers showing they were withdrawing the payments from my checking account but it never went through. After two months of this I got a notice of non-payment and assessed all sorts of fees, I called in and explained the situation and they told me they could take care of it right away through an e-check but there would be a $45 fee. I quietly explained that there would be no fee and furthermore there would be no late fees or interest either or they would never collect the debt and would hear from my attorney for fraud. Large banks have the resources and personnel to do things right, when they don't it's their own damn fault and they should bear all the responsibility, blaming the victim of the cockup is just insane.

Most of the stuff I've ever downloaded from my government are standardized forms that need to be consistent.
Selecting Text when viewing a PDF on my Blackberry works ~90% of the time though complex tables like a bill of sale can get munged.

Yeah, 3G/4G wouldn't be detected.
Oh, you are evil. I had the ethernet and wifi attacks foiled but a passive tap on the ethernet and 3G upload would be all but impossible to detect.
On the hidden wireless interface our Cisco WLAN controllers would detect it as a rogue AP.
