Couldn't a spybot just land on a powerline and get power from induction? Or how about eating something that doesn't move around as much as a fly, like grass or tree sap? Better yet, why stop to power up at all--just use direct solar energy either photovoltaicly or by embedding chloroplasts directly in the vehicle.
I can see claiming that the public wants big cars and trucks. I can't see claiming that they want them to be gas guzzlers. If two vehicles are in all respects identical but one of them uses half the gas, people will flock to that one.
Do you ever eat "iron-fortified" cereal? Those metal shavings combine with oxygen in the air in an exothermic reaction. Guess you'll have to stay away from cornflakes from now on.
The bird-call effect, which resembles the warble of the Mexican quetzal bird, a sacred animal in Mayan culture, was first recognized by California-based acoustic engineer David Lubman in 1998.
Our users are the admins of their machines. They can load whatever software they want...
That's the only way to run a network of computer-savvy users. Imagine a metalworking shop that wouldn't let the machinists adjust their own wrenches. You'd have to put a call-ticket in to "Tool Technology Support" and after a few hours (if you are lucky) or days (if you aren't) some kid comes over who doesn't know anything and tries to adjust your hammer.
1) Fossil fuels have huge investment, economies of scale and infrastructure already, which bring prices down. As sustainable energy gets more popular, it will get even cheaper.
2) Nobody ever factors in the cost of cleanup (at best) or total extinction (at worst) into the cost of fossil fuels. If you add the cost of removing the byproducts and side-effects to each column, sustainable energy pulls way ahead.
Not that I expect the current administration to do anything about it.
Children shouldn't memorize things but they also shouldn't be taught only how to add up a grocery bill. They should be taught to *understand numbers*.
I have a 5 year old who can do math quite a bit beyond his age. Part of it is that he is (IMHO) gifted and loves numbers. The other part is that I'm teaching him that equations are statements about something, just like sentences are. Numbers mean things. When you want to add 14 and 16, ask yourself what those numbers are--it's 2 10s, a 4 and a 6. A 4 and a 6 are 10, so you have 3 10s--30!
Once they understand math then memorization is just a convenience thing and they can find practical uses by themselves.
It's clearly an artifact. If the flash at the end of the streak was something "out there", it would have to have either hit the water or the light. The after pic shows no waves and the pole is unharmed--there's no even any "smoke" left. It's hard to judge how much time has passed, but it can't have been more than a few seconds. (On the far right is a speeding motorboat and he only gets a little ways between each frame.) With no fragments or smoke just a moment later, it has to be an artifact of some kind.
Inflated self-importance. For instance, if my manager is the "assistant project manager" at a "small software company", he's basically nobody and better remember it.
You've quoted your own link wrong. Between January and November 2004, Mozilla went from 8.2% to 18.6%. That's a jump of over 10 points. Most of that came from IE, which went from a combined IE5/6 total of 84.1% to 74.1% in the same period.
I don't see how. They adjust the payoff so that even with perfect play the house comes out ahead. They'd have to or they'd lose money on average. Bots might cause a reduction in profits, though.

How is this "story" not an ad? And from a once-respected Open Source community member. *cough*sellout*cough*

it doesn't even cover the facts. The other rover isn't getting cleaned.

I do not think that means what you think that means.

Both actions make GPS harder to use as a weapon by our enemies.

Could you please educate us on exactly where Bush is going to get more troops without a draft?

So what elegant, simple and fast parent language is Heron an ugly, error-prone and hard-to-learn bastardization of?

Look at the before and after and there's nothing. Can't be smoke.
I'm guessing that "flash" is just a specular from the light.

And it would only have one leaf.

Audible or visible? How about "backups" of Star Wars, with all the writing at the beginning, or ASCII versions of movies? Legible?

At last we will see what happens when immovable object and irresistable force a huge file and the Slashdot Effect meet.
This guy is just scared for his job and spreading FUD.
So....why did you post it to Slashdot?
The "airwaves" are no more public than land is and we sell that all the time.
