I can give you an answer, but it'll have to take less than three minutes to explain. More than three minutes gets rounded to six minutes, a billable tenth of an hour.
I just looked at the company's website. There, they do call them protons: "In PIE, high-energy protons (or hydrogen ions) are embedded into 'donor' wafers", where PIE means "Proton Induced Exfoliation".
Why do Android upgrades take so long? You're kidding, right? Probably not... about the time that Android 4.0 came out, there was an article about Android 2.3 being "long in the tooth". I bought my Android 2.1 phone in June 2010. Android 2.2 had just come out, but the only things that the 2.2 phones offered over 2.1 were built-in wifi sharing (didn't need), 4G (not available within 300 miles of my home), and a front-facing camera -- and I wasn't going to spend an extra $100 for the front-facing camera. Since then, Android 2.3 came out (December 2010), then 3.0 (February 2011), 3.1 (May), 3.2 (July), and 4.0 (October). Looking back, 2.1 came out in January 2010, and 2.0 in October 2009. Ignoring the tablet-only 3.x, that's still five versions in two years! Even the ten month wait from 2.3 to 4.0 is hardly an eon.
As long as we're picking holes in the hypothesis that you can correlate the success of a language to the quantity of it's inventor's facial hair, I don't think I've seen any pictures of Grace Hopper with a noticeable beard.
My son had no difficulty remembering his password at age 6. His password is the name of a piece of decoration next to the computer desk. I won't tell you what it actually is (duh!), but let's suppose it was a cactus - then his password is "cactus". Obviously that won't survive a dictionary attack, but that machine'll refuse any attempts to connect remotely.

Good afternoon,
> I don't get to see many movies with a 4 month old in the house, > but I managed to escape to see Cloverfield
Here's the trick my wife and I used for our "dates" when our son was younger - one of us would drop the other off to watch the movie and then go shopping for a couple of hours with child in tow. Then back to the theater where we'd do a hot driver swap, and the first to watch the movie then shopping for a couple of hours with child in tow. Then back to the theater to pick up the other, and we head off to dinner to discuss the movie. We took turns being first.
From the article: "The AMS is an automated device with a specific set of scientific tasks."
Would someone please explain to me why this device must be attached to the space station? (Other than that it was built to be attached to the space station.) It seems to me that such an instrument could've been placed on its own dedicated satellite.
Or is this a case of "we'll get funding for this if we hitch it to the best funding-horse around"?
There appears to be an implicit assumption in your line of reasoning, and that would be MY first point of disagreement:
0. It is the government's responsibility to protect the health of citizens and residents, even protecting them from their own judgement.
As a matter of personal philosophy, people who are assumed to be capable of making informed decisions have a fundamental right to make bad decisions (subject to the limitation that those bad decisions don't harm others). This re-frames the question to: are people under 18 capable of making informed decisions about smoking?
ID isn't science. Personally, I have no problem with it being taught in a philosophy class, though apparently others do when it's a philosophy class in a government-funded high school.
Looking back on it, of *course* he's stuck in a time-warp. We could infer from H.M.'s experience that the temporal lobes are responsible for our progression forward through time.
It seems obvious in hindsight that temporal lobes would be responsible for temporal mechanics.

Yup -- I'm making sure that my son learns good sportsmanship as he learns chess. For example, I'll tolerate some mild trash-talk and boasting during the game, but if he ever gets mean about it, I'll warn him to be nice. Second offense and I get up and walk away from the game. I also insist on shaking hands after each game. With him only 6 years old, we're still working on getting him not to pout when he loses a game.

My son took up chess in November. To help him remember the moves I drew the possible moves for each piece on a sheet from engineering pad. We saw a set like that in a nearby store shortly before he got interested but couldn't find it again before he grew out of the need for that a couple of weeks later. We since picked up a couple of "Chess Teacher" sets for $5 each on after-Christmas discount and donated them to his school. The sets we found had hollow plastic pieces that squeeze-fit into the bases. If the child doesn't need the help, the bases can be removed.

I think they're calling them hydrogen ions to clarify where the hydrogen bubbles come from.
Personally, I'd guess that a turn signal will convince the AI to allow an intentional lane change.
I am shocked --SHOCKED!-- to learn that I something on the internet might be incorrect.

Alas, we have no way to conduct servicing missions to maintain HST. Sooner or later, it will have to be decommissioned.
Did anyone else notice that the EEG machine used to measure the ability to ignore noises was muted?
They did what it generally sounds like you plan to do. Of course, the differences are hardware vs software, and 30-some years.

When 800 years old you have reached, a grumpy old muppet you will be. Deter others from training you will attempt. Rely on the old standbys you will.
