Avoiding at all costs a cure when you need treatment is not a good idea. Even if some of the side effects you cite are really irksome, most of the time the benefits of a treatment greatly offset these inconveniences.
You should not be too quick to dismiss our high vernier acuity. It is the main mechanism behind the aliasing effect. The difference is not so much in rounded objects than in slightly slanted ones. I still see plenty of aliasing on slow moving scenes on my 1080p 32" TV, and my eyes are very average. Look at the geometrical objects with high contrast... painted stripes on a track, edges of some buildings... And if you happen to play videogames, it's even more noticeable, as scenes are unnaturally geometrical, sharp, in focus and with a low motion blur.
Your comment is very interesting, because I think it reflects that for some matters, the USA are really unlike any other place. I've made a few times road trips in the US - and I found them really tedious and a chore. And it's not that I don't like to drive - but I can hardly see the pleasure of driving for several hours on a mostly straight road - I'd rather take a high-speed train if it's for watching the scenery. Yet, you're talking about your trip as an adventure, and I don't doubt at all that you really consider it to be a pleasant moment with your family. With that being said, I think it's easy to see why EV will have a hard time in the US market. But bear in mind that there are many other places in the world where they might be much more suited to the people expectations.
Actually, when the pitot tubes of AF447 froze up, the computed and indicated speed fell down. They went back up to correct values when the tubes unfroze. You can check the relevant figure on page 89 of the BEA report.
Well, I can only advise you to read more carefully the investigation report (which was made by the BEA, not the FAA).
The airspeed indicator gave wrong information for 61 seconds at most.The others indicators (such as pitch indicator) were functioning correctly, yet it was the inappropriate control inputs of the pilot flying that directly put the aircraft into a stall. The stall warning sounded continuously for more than 54 seconds, yet nobody in the cockpit voiced the possibility of a stall. The main problem was that the crew in the cockpit was deeply confused... probably overloaded with information they couldn't prioritize, and discarded (consciously or inconsciously) the warnings presented by the aircraft systems. Saying that they "followed the computer instructions" is a deeply flawed way of describing the situation.
Working in the aerospace industry, I'd be interested to see your factual records. When you bring up a "disputed" subject backed up by "factual records", it would be nice to actually reference those records (and not anecdotal records).
Wow. The US are really like nowhere else.
Anyway, in Europe, this scooter is one of the most popular cycle models in Europe. And regardless of your tastes in transportation method, Domino's will provide the scooters.
In France the line is very easy to draw between a religion and a cult. A cult is an organization which engages in brainwashing, isolates individuals from their peers, then take advantage of their vulnerability to collect huge amounts of money from them. The fact that they make up things or not, or that they are founded on sound facts or not are totally irrelevant to the matter. It's actually written in the summary... Scientology was convicted because it took advantage of vulnerable followers, not because they invented a religion. Nobody is going to go against pastafaris in France.
It's a return to the economy. This means that it does not necessarily returns in the pockets of the people who funded it. I'm not sure private capitalists would be very interested in this.
You know, research has shown repeatedly than the identification cues that animals are using vary widely from species to species. This is why animals are sometimes tricked by very crude lures by our standards - and sometimes are not tricked by who look like a very realistic lure to us. Hell, the baby gull parents can be readily replaced by a red spot...
If you look at the picture of the drone linked in your second article, for a human it hardly looks like a live bird on close examination. However, for a hawk viewing the drone from far away, its flapping wings might be enough to trigger an attack.
The bottom line is that we are not yet living in a world in which a live animal is indistinguishable from a robot. And if you look more closely at what happened in this story, this is not at all about a stork being mistaken with a high-tech robot probe, but about the beacon it carried being mistaken with a spying device.
Anyway, what is ridiculous in this story is that the stork was kept caged for days when it could have been released much more quickly after a rapid check. But of course, the administration is not always very efficient in handling these matters... At least, let's hope it was well cared for.
How can you advocate such behavior ? Of course it is irritating to drive behind someone who drives slowly, but that is why overtaking is legal. They may have very good reasons to drive slowly, the first of all being bad drivers who are uncomfortable at a higher speed. It might be a very bad idea to force them to go faster.
You should still be careful with fish, depending on where you live. Those 784,430,000,000,000,000.00 tons of water are already so much polluted with mercury that it might be safe to limit your fish intake. See for example this study.
It is unknown how much information the French gave about the Exocet missile and how effective the jamming was, especially given that there has been two other British ships killed by Exocets missiles after the Sheffield. However, what is very well known is that once the war started, there was a world-wide cooperation between the French and the British to prevent the Argentinians from procuring additional Exocet missiles from every weapon market, effectively leaving them with a very limited supply of Exocets. There were a lot of behind-the-scenes negotiations (sometimes quite rough) between the French and the British to make this happen.
I do not know what they did for this particular trip. However, the procedure for most of its sorties in Europe was to have the aircraft batteries charge on the ground from its solar panels, prior to take-off. For instance, for its demonstration at the 2011 Paris Air Show which took place on Saturday morning, they left the plane in the sun on Friday.
High speed trains run on dedicated railways. There is no freight or commuter trains that need to go out of the way. I believe this would be the same for this idea.
There is supposed to be an important new feature in Firefox 21 (which was not talked about in the summary): h.264 playback with system codecs enabled by default. It is present in Firefox 20, but needed to be enabled manually through about:config.
Instead of doing forensics analysis, you might want to RTFA. The image is a reconstruction. It's a montage of other pictures. Of course, you are going to find a lot of discrepancies....
Just because their first attempt resulted in an object not reaching a stable orbit doesn't mean the design is *incapable* of it.
The orbit of the satellite seems rather stable so far. The spacecraft itself may or may not have a functional attitude control system, but that's another story. Of course, as often, the slashdot article about it was rather misleading.

This book is from 2009. Unless it was very foreshadowing, it is hard to think that it can refer to events that happened in 2012.

That's how all terminals work in Europe. You see the amount while you enter your PIN.

And to elaborate a bit of the "very limited supply" of Exocet missiles the Argentinians had, we are talking about a total number of 5 or so.
It is unknown how much information the French gave about the Exocet missile and how effective the jamming was, especially given that there has been two other British ships killed by Exocets missiles after the Sheffield. However, what is very well known is that once the war started, there was a world-wide cooperation between the French and the British to prevent the Argentinians from procuring additional Exocet missiles from every weapon market, effectively leaving them with a very limited supply of Exocets.

Optronics are also a prime targets for lasers.
Using literally in that case is a common hyperbole.

Barely readable ? You probably read a bad translation of it.

We are probably talking about a wrist watch kind of device, for which a smartphone is hardly a replacement.
