Sounds like a good fix to me. Plants have been absorbing the sun's rays for millennium, and they take up sufficient space that a patron won't be able to displace the plant. Of course, you might need to plant quite a few plants to handle migration of the focal point, but that's a lot cheaper than attempting to redesign / retrofit the building.
You could be right, but the point that their statistics could be flawed still stands.
We've seen people equate "identity" with IP address in the past, we've seen people equate "identity" with possession of a special key. We've seen people equate "identity" with name. While all of these techniques provide some degree of usefulness, and many are enough in limited contexts, there are flaws in each one of these techniques. Without the release of how they equate "identity" with whatever technique they use; how are we to take their closed technique without questioning it in the least?
That's funny, comparing yourself to an olympic athlete to make your argument
I wear bathers (or a wetsuit, when appropriate) when I swim and cycling clothes when I ride. Never been to the Olympics though. So again: how is wearing appropriate clothing for an activity the wrong thing to do?
When you go to the Olympics, I thought you were supposed to wear an Olympic themed T-shirt and baggy shorts. To me, it sounds like this guy doesn't know how to dress appropriately in any venue.
Hack a Dell and nobody cares. Dell gets less than 1% of the news articles, I'll bet.
Hack an Apple, and you're already feeding into the just under 20% of the daily news articles. If you want to make a name for yourself, Apple is the way to go. If you do it for fun, odds are you won't be heard until you're working on an Apple product.
A plane in midair, the plane is listing slightly to the port (making the tail section appear to be slanting to the bottom of the screen). That said, it's an excellent shot if you wanted to start your own "Soviet super secret giant seaplane conspiracy theory"
Except that it isn't. The original poster is full of bull. Look at the photos to the rear, no space shuttle takes off with scaffolding welded to it's posterior. This must be a training / simulation mock-up of the real thing.
There's other hints to it being a mock-up, like the lack of full tiling.

Those who don't understand Automake are doomed to repeat the mistakes of build systems that are not designed like Automake.
The one language that actually drives all of Automake is ML. Funny it is the one language you didn't list, but you listed a bunch of the high level macro files that get expanded with ML. If you don't know sh, then you shouldn't be programming on the command line (stick to an IDE that does the compilation for you). C isn't required for any component of Automake. If you write a makefile with automake, you made a big mistake, as Automake writes the makefiles for you.
There are other systems out there which are easier to use, but there's only a handful that does things in a manner that is highly reliable and portable on many platforms. Those that do strive for such goals end up operating like Automake, but often they do so without allowing such easy access to the internal guts of what is really going on.
Yes, I like cmake too, but bashing Automake just because you don't understand it is just the computer equivalent of name-calling.
Excuse me, but DHS is larger than any three previously existing departments combined. At one time it was in danger of becoming half the executive branch's manpower. And that dept was the brainchild of the groups which still have sway over FOX News. They tell you they stand for smaller government, but they really only want to cut the regulatory agencies, and grow the others.
Drilling regulatory cuts really worked out well for us (no pun intended), and with the salmonella poisoning of Spinach, Peanuts, and Eggs in the recent three years, I would say that the FDA cuts must have worked out just as well. Bank regulatory cuts seem to have helped us tremendously, and I shudder to know what cuts we haven't heard about yet.
Perhaps FOX is just for all out unregulated economies. Maybe that's fine by you, but a truly unregulated economy works like a mugging. There's no protection for those who honor agreements under such a system, they are at a disadvantage to those who wield their money and power in unscrupulous ways.
As far as exposing myself to ideas, there's the daily drone of FOX on the lunch room TV. I would be glad to expose myself to any new ideas on FOX, but there aren't any. It's the same ideas we've heard since the late 80's.
By the way, FOX consistently rallies against the deficit, yet they rally against raising taxes. They think we can "starve" our government down to a smaller size by just denying them money. It's not a bad plan, if you are into surface level thinking. Try using their logic with your local bank concerning your mortgage; see how far it gets you.
We borrowed our deficit. The terms and agreements made to obtain that money are not going to un-write themselves because we're starving our loan repayments. In addition, if we even hint at weakening our resolve to honor those commitments, our national loan rating will slip. That will make this market crash look like peanuts as we watch the interest rate on 13 Trillion dollars hike up a percent.
You're smaller government plea falls on deaf ears when the graphs look like this. Naturally, you'll vote for the propaganda party, and I shudder to think what will happen to the debt then.
By the way, yesterday it was reported that if we just repealed all the Bush-era tax cuts, the budget would be very close to being balanced. Sure, you might call it a spend-and-tax plan, but it's better than a spend-and-borrow plan.
The Streisand effect is just an observation, not a guarantee. I'm sure there is a lot of information wrongfully suppressed because they can't jockey their way into a top alternative news story. This current DMCA take down notice isn't likely to be the only wrongfully issued one today.
The link indicates that a target is something that advances the cure. It isn't in this case, it is something that triggers the disease.
Certainly if we can trigger the disease, we can start to look at how we can prevent the disease from being triggered; but, from reading the editors "contribution", you would think they advanced the treatment side of things. They haven't (yet).
Well if you're looking for the rapport, perhaps you can't find it because it's called a report.
Let's spend a second and take a look. First link! It seems that it's not all in the weight after all. Man, it is hard to find information these days, perhaps that's why you were under this bee delusion for so long.
Can you really tell from the video you can determine how long and far he could have flown without the "flapping wings". I would like to see a comparison of this machine with an ordinary glider launched with the same altitude and speed.
Or better yet, the same glider launched with the same altitude and speed, but without the flapping.
From my looking at the videos it isn't obvious if the flapping is maintaining flight at all. This could be a glider that just happens to flap.
The frontal views use perspective to hide whether the plane's relative position to the ground is being distorted by the perspective aspects of travelling towards the camera. The video that shows the plane traveling away exaggerates the plane's descent due to a similar perspective induced distortion.
A camera consistently showing the plane from the side would be more useful, or at least a number of runs with data indicating that the plane landed a bit further down field than it did when not flapping. Not an exact way to do science, but far better than watching these two video clips.
Abbot: Who gave the still suits? Costello: Yueh gave the still suits. Abbot: No I didn't. Costello: Of course. Abbot: Of course what? Costello: Of course you didn't. Abbot: Then who did? Costello: Yueh did!
Just off the top of my head, it should provide slower air speeds without the issues of a rotary wing aircraft.
When you can't imagine an application, and you admit to being outside of your field, perhaps discretion (instead of discredit) is the best policy. I'm no aerospace engineer either, but it is easy to see how this could develop into lightweight planes with long flight times and limited ranges. Ideal for local city traffic reporting, if you think about it. Perhaps you could even put a cell phone repeater up there (by the time it is production ready).
Dude, stop propagating an urban legend originated in 1934. Nobody said that bees can't fly, they said that an airplane wing traveling at the speed of a bee can't fly. Airplane wings needed more laminar air flow to generate lift according to Bernoulli's principle, and that means more forward speed to generate the minimal air flow than a bee displays in it's forward flight.
Then the anti-science crowd then created a misinterpretation of this famous statement to read that "according to Science, bees can't fly" so it must be "God's work." Later it was softened to "According to science, bees can't fly so we don't know everything."
It doesn't take a lot of insight to imagine how flapping a wing can sustain slower air speeds than a fixed wing aircraft could sustain. But the original findings have been so misused, that using the quote is paramount to spreading anti-Science propaganda.
Amazing that one can be called a Troll for simply stating that some tasks really do take more than five minutes. I guess Rome really was built in a day.
It is a shame that this was modded as flamebait. Software development, and the sub-genre of porting, and the sub-sub-genre of resurrecting old games while porting isn't impossible, but it takes a lot more than five minutes.
One that points out the obvious shouldn't be smacked around for telling the truth. If I were to write up a new use case for the GP's existing product, would he only give it five minutes to be implemented?
That match only will happen if Jobs win over Ballmer. Im not sure if Jobs skill throwing shurikens will have a chance against Ballmer with a few chairs at hand.
A well thrown chair can block a few shurikens and still take out its target.

The whole idea in a democracy is to have visionary leader(s) elected to lead the short-sighted (generalization) masses.
Unfortunately, our leaders today are mostly controlled by short term financial interests, which brings us back to square one.
How are short-sighted masses supposed to have enough long-term vision to elect a visionary leader?
