There's only been ONE hurricane to ever make landfall in the US with that low a pressure, the 1935 labor day hurricane. To put the numbers in perspective Sandy made landfall at 945mb and Katrina at 920mb.
Do NOT open the hood on an engine fire to deploy a fire extinguisher unless it has just started, spray through the front grill or from underneath. Gas, oil, and melted plastic/rubber vapors in an oxygen starved environment is the perfect recipe for a flashover.
The biggest thing we can do to help turtles is to install UV lights on commercial fishing nets to significantly reduce the bycatch rate, turtles can see into the UV spectrum but fish cannot so there is no impact on the fishermen other than a fairly minimal cost for waterproof led housings.
Youtube was the backbone for the 2010 Olympics online streaming, it used about 8Mbps for 720p and was quite usable, in fact it looked better than most of the overcompressed crap I see on TW and Comcast.
Trolling? MS makes a product in the mobile space, and has for a LONG time (see Windows CE, and CE based phones), they don't meet the definition of a patent troll in any way, shape, or form.
HP didn't want to be in the chip business, which is why they sold the IP and engineers to Intel in exchange for long term contracts to produce Itanium. I very much realize that Itanium is vastly different from either PA-RISC or Alpha, but code originally written for either could and was ported to Itanium, something which could not be easily done with x86 (remember this is pre-x64 aka AMD64). You say it was a fatal mistake, but the HP Enterprise business group still brings in billions a year more than a decade after they jettisoned the baggage of making chips, and now they get to move the customers who are still with them over to x64 which means they can stop paying Intel whatever fees they are paying to keep making new Itanium chips further reducing their overhead. As long as the cost reduction through stopping the chip business was less than the lost revenue from whatever businesses jumped ship it was a sound economic decision and based on the size and profitability of the enterprise group I'd say it was.
HP had Intel put a ton of RAS features that are needed for the Nonstop and Superdome lines into the Itanium chip, in addition it ran modified 64bit code originally targeted at Alpha, MIPS, and NonStop processors, something which couldn't be done with x86. Basically it was a way for HP to jettison all the legacy hardware from their acquisitions over the years and merge them into one "commodity" chip that they could buy from Intel.
I went with a Fractal R4, i5-3350P, 650ti DirectCU 2, SSD and Seasonic S12II 430B. The fan on the fridge in the next room is significantly louder and it's a newer fridge =)
Based on results in the database it looks like it would score around 7k, I'll gladly give up 25% performance for a machine that runs silent even while gaming =)
Is there an xserver out there for ChromeOS? One of the big limitations with running GNU/Linux chroot on Android is no GUI apps because you don't have a useful X Server on the Android side.
They are, you can get very playable framerates @1080p using a nearly passively cooled card (the next shrink will probably make it possible using a completely passive card). Hell, my new gaming rig draws under 100W while playing most games, my previous rig used over 100W just for the graphics card.
We were doing real-time ASL translation to text using the webcam on the Indy2 workstation back in 1997, success rate was about 85% and most of the misses were from hidden object problems which the Kinect does nothing to help with.
Total US foreign aid is under 1% of the federal budget, if you remove the military aid that's largely corporate welfare it's quite literally a rounding error in the scope of the federal budget. You can buy a lot of power plants for the cost of one Afghanistan or Vietnam.
Chris Urmson presented some data at this keynote, but AFAIK nothing has been published yet. Basically they showed that they stop and start more smoothly and spend less time in near-accident situations then even their professional drivers. They've logged over 300k vehicle miles with zero Google caused accidents, meanwhile MARTA has a target accident rate of 2.85 accidents per 100k miles, and wasn't able to achieve that in most of the previous 12 months!
They didn't go with opening the FEHB or any other large government option to the population because the Republicans rightfully feared that given the choice people would have picked the government option, if you have to deal with a large bureaucracy anyway why wouldn't you deal with the one with a 1.5% overhead cost instead of a 20% overhead cost?
If this doesn't end up like a typical class action suite Apple and the other big players could end up paying out Billions in damages, probably making it the most expensive lawsuit ever and making an ever so small dent in the mountains of cash they've managed to pile up.
My cable provider puts the unmolested MPEG2 stream from the local stations OTA broadcast directly into a QAM package so I get full quality HD, they also encode all their basic stations into SD digital and put those in clear QAM so you can record them with any QAM tuner. I'm not sure what they do with their other HD package since I'm too "cheap" to upgrade ($95/month is plenty for cable + internet TYVM).
I'd go with a 4250 if you have the room, slightly bigger but a better printer with lower cost per page and higher duty rating, cost will be almost the same.

We are not likely to get a fire rate per mile for gas cars under 3 years old
Ask an auto-insurance actuary, I can guarantee you they have the data or can compute it from their records, probably with a simple SQL query.

For the most part yes, or they have an HTPC\IP set top box, or a tablet, or a laptop.

Uh, root doesn't give all apps SU, only those that you setuid root with an app like SuperUser

WiFi breaking after upgrading to iOS 7 is the latest one, in fact they are actively censoring any discussion of the issue.

Ada doesn't save you from a logic bug.

Remember, these are the patent assets of the former Palm Inc. so there could be a LOT of basic smartphone patents in there..

Wait, what? Office for Mac has existing for forever and Office 365 even comes with a desktop license you can use on either PC or Mac.
