NO. For God's sake will people stop making this mistake.
Voltage multiplied by current in Amps equals VA, not Watts. If you want watts, you have to multiply Voltage in Volts, Current in Amps, and the cosine of the angle between them (which is more commonly known as the power factor.
Today's B-52 only vaguely resembles the original version of itself. The original B-52 flew on hydraulic systems controlled by mechanical computers, on inputs from pilots reading analog gauges.
Today's B-52 has been retrofitted with the most advanced fly-by-wire control systems, avionics, engines, radars, communications, and ordnance delivery systems money can buy - all of which can be obtained from multiple sources, which is why it can still be built for $70M, as opposed to the no-bid, single source, $3B B-2.
About the only thing it has in common with its ancestors is that it's still a tin can with 8 scrolls that can rain fire and death from 40,000 feet.
They can come out with as many "hardcore" boards as they want, and that will do nothing to change the fact that the Z77 chipset only adds 8 PCI-e lanes.
One nice RAID controller and you're done. Thanks a lot, Intel.
Consensus is the new science, and as long as the majority of people in the room agree that something is the way they think it ought to be (rather than the way it really is), that is what gets signed off on as fact, damn the evidence against it.
NBC didn't just make a "slip of the edit wheel." This was a willful act of defamation designed for the express purpose of both defaming Mr. Zimmerman's character, and tampering with potential jurors to create a predisposition towards guilt.
It's not a horrifying ruling because the summary is completely inaccurate and misleading.
The SCOTUS ruled that a prison's blanket policy of strip searching all inmates on intake did not violate the petitioner's rights, because safety within the prison was the greater public interest.
It has nothing to do with "strip searching for any arrestable offense." It's "strip searching on intake to a prison."
Also note that "prison" and "jail" are two different things. This man was taken to a high security prison because the fines they thought he owed were for, among other things, a violent weapon offense.
SCOTUS ruled in this case that the petitioners rights were not violated by the prison's blanket policy of strip-searching all inmates on intake.
The petitioner was arrested on an outstanding warrants for fines that he had already paid. During his wrongful arrest, he was transported to two different prisons where he was strip searched as a matter of prison policy. The petitioner contended that, because he had committed no crime and was not under suspicion thereof, that his rights were violated. SCOTUS upheld that prison safety was the greater interest when the blanket policy is to strip search all inmates to prevent the introduction of weapons.
The petitioner should have sued on grounds of wrongful arrest, not unlawful search.
Is it your belief that people have a right to a checking account, a computer, and Internet access? How about a right to a car? Or a beach house? How about a right to have a million dollars?

I would not say my trust in science has dwindled at all. I trust science very much.
The problem is that ACTUAL SCIENCE has decreased significantly since the 1970's. Consensus has become the new Science, but consensus is not science. I do not trust consensus. I trust science.
I think that's a little different. They're not patenting a law of nature. They're patenting a change they made to it.
I attended a seminar on the safety of GM corn at Clemson University (a well known agricultural university near me) a while back. The guy had obviously done his homework and demonstrated convincingly that we have nothing to fear from GM corn. But, there is still a problem, and that is how to maintain disease and pest resistance.
It was quite informative, and I'll try to sum it up, but it has been a while. Basically, GM corn growers are required to maintain a certain acreage of non-GM corn to breed non-resistant bugs into the population. If you only have GM corn, the bugs will develop resistance, and the GM corn becomes useless. The idea is to pollute the gene pool of the bugs with non-resistant code from these adjacent non-GM fields. The problem arises when farmers don't want to have lower-yielding acreage, and do not plant the non-GM buffer. The gene pool then purifies with resistant code and the pests become immune to the corn quite quickly.
This method and process is what Monsanto patented. They didn't patent "The Corn Gene." They just patented "We made these changes to the corn gene to kill these bugs." Where they turn into a bunch of unconscionable shitheads is when they start suing non-GM growers out of existence because of pollen pollution from nearby GM crops that contaminates their fields.

VA = V*A
Watts = V*A*PF

Because 4,294,967,296 addresses ought to be enough for everybody,.
I've never seen that word before...
An American court judge's ruling means precisely DICK in Germany...

What a waste of time.
... yet we know exactly what capabilities it has, what they'll use it for, and even the layout of the buildings.
That's because science is no longer science.

Hope this helps.
That is not what SCOTUS ruled at all.

I'd be more worried about people using Facebook to stay on top of your children.

I don't even want to think about how this is going to turn out.
I've tried a number of different tablets and none comes close to a legal pad and my trusty Clickster mechanical pencil.
For the first time in my adult life, I am truly ashamed to be an American.
Consensus seems to be the new science. The world is the way you think it ought to be, not the way it is. And so on...

I wonder if Darl McBride is working there now.
