Got a reference for that? Five seconds of googling gets you a page describing canon's CR2 format, updated for the 6D and 5D mark III.
Canon also continues to send me updates for their free SDK that allows control of the camera through the USB port.
Also, Nikon ELECTRONIC Format files only encrypt the white balance information. It's a dick move, no question, but it's not really a show stopper. White balance metadata is of limited use in RAW files anyway.
Sorry, that's not always true. An excellent counter example is the US health care system versus virtually all (perhaps all) of the other modern western semi-public systems.

63Ni is also a beta decay process. Don't swallow it and you'll be fine.
You're right that very short half lives aren't a problem because you just have to wait, and long ones aren't so bad because it means the isotope isn't very radioactive, but you also have to consider the type of decay. Beta decay means that you end up with an electron getting shot out of the nucleus. Electrons are technically ionizing radiation but they're very effectively stopped by pretty much anything so you can literally shield the source effectively with a piece of paper. Or skin.
That is a giant pile of bull. A soldier who fires upon civilians is responsible for their deaths. The enemy who hides among them is in the wrong, and perhaps should be treated differently if he is captured, but that does not exculpate the one who fired.
You're a scary person, with a completely out of whack set of morals. But the really scary thing is that many Americans, including so many in your government, agree with you.
You know, if you made a habit of attacking them from out of nowhere, any place, any time, particularly with the threat of massive collateral damage, the fear alone would probably be even more effective than the actual killing! You could achieve your political aims through... terror!
When you burn stuff you get a lot of stray heat, random bits of stuff going up with all the hot air, etc.
This controlled oxidization process gives you fairly pure CO2 rising off the top and most of the heat concentrated in the iron beads, which you can then remove from the reactor and suck the heat out of. The CO2 without all the crud in it is easier to capture. Plus the reactor is sealed, except for the gas removal. You don't need to be spraying air (which is mostly nitrogen) into it, which makes capturing the CO2 much simpler.
Grad students frequently describe themselves as sweat shop workers or early industrial revolution coal shovellers working at the furnaces, but these guys actually do!
No, it's CO2. Carbon (in the form of coal) is what you started with.
CO2 is a gas at regular temperatures, which is kind of awkward for burying it. There ARE things you can do with it though, if you happen to have it concentrated and contained.
Real estate transactions are very real but when they're too good to be true and you're not allowed to look too closely at the details, you laugh at them.
IF it works as described it should produce 59Cu, which beta decays into 59Ni in about a minute, which beta decays into Co over tens of thousands of years. Both decays are beta so could be shielded with a piece of paper. And the second happens so slowly that it's essentially stable, particularly in the amounts that would be produced in one of these reactors.
You wouldn't want to eat the waste products, but the metal poisoning would probably get you before the betas.
Here in socialist Canada that's exactly what they do. 5 cents is the normal charge per bag. We were a little shocked on a trip to Florida last January when we bought groceries at a Wal-Mart and each item was essentially bagged individually.
Assuming 3.5 million tons of bags per year, 10% of which make it into the ocean, that's 0.35 million tons per year of plastic. The deepwater horizon spill is estimated at about 780,000 m^3. 0.35 million tons of plastic would be roughly 400,000 m^3. So say about half a deepwater horizon. Per year.
To reach most people you'd have to learn Javascript, WebGL and Three.js/Scene.js for Chrome/Firefox, then you'd have to learn actionscript + flash for the microsofties, then learn objective c for the apple fanboyz, then learn Java to write a native app for Android.
You could do all of that and get crappy 3D (except for maybe the last one), or you could just write something in OpenGL and compile and run it anywhere you want natively. If there was a demand you could even skip the compiling (there are JIT OpenGL compilers). Why must we shoehorn every last thing onto a platform that was meant to display text?
I'm not a lawyer, but I can't imagine on what grounds you'd sue someone who did exactly what you explicitly gave them permission to do. Are you thinking libel? That only applies if you write something about someone. There are laws preventing me from writing something and putting your name on it, but in this case YOU wrote it, and YOU put your name on it (then gave me permission to modify it, so long as I left your name on it).
IANAL so it's quite possible I'm wrong, but my amateur impression is that a judge would laugh you out of court with the advice that you pick a better copyright license next time. And that impression is based pretty much entirely on the "people" side of judges not liking their time wasted.
A) not many people pay full retail for office. B) lots of those downloads will be repeats or people who didn't keep using it. And will miss any larger organizations that download once and install many times.
100k + downloads is impressive. The dollar figure is just make up marketing.
Sure. North Korean military targets in the countryside that were big enough, hard enough or important enough to make it worthwhile, including their launch and nuclear facilities, would likely be hit with tactical nukes. Anything close to a population centre would probably get pounded flat with conventional weapons.
Using nukes doesn't have to mean exterminating cities. The sophisticated nuclear powers have generally designed their arsenals for military targets.
That's highly unlikely. Populated areas are pretty sparse, where the planet is concerned. And downrange of North Korea is the Pacific Ocean. If they were extraordinarily unlucky they might drop something on Japan, which is also mostly rural or undeveloped.
It's not like countries haven't dropped space debris on others before.
Riiight. The US has been invading or otherwise compromising countries' sovereignty right and left for the last forty years. Iraq and Afghanistan are just two big, recent, ongoing examples.
Regardless of whether you think it's justified or not (and some are pretty hard to justify, such as Iran in the 70s), the OP is spot on - if you're a country the US doesn't like your choice is pretty much between developing nukes and doing whatever the US tells you to.
Yes, computer programming should be a program you take at a tech school, but since many US schools don't even seem to have software engineering programs, first things first hey?
The polytechnics in the area I did my undergrad have a bunch of certificates for things like "Java Development" and "Web Development."
That old adage is awesome. It shows exactly who knows something about teaching, and who doesn't.
Teachers have always been the best of the best. That drill sergeant in boot camp? He didn't get there by being a screwup. The master carpenter taking on apprentices and journeymen? He's not the guy who keeps hitting his thumb with the hammer. Your professor at a decent university? Not the guy who couldn't hack it in the real world (most of my professors in science and engineering were highly sought after as consultants).
So by citing that old adage you've thoughtfully demonstrated you really don't know anything about teaching. Including the appropriate role of the latest whiz bang technology in it.

If you can't figure out how to have employees securely VPN in then you shouldn't be running any sort of Internet company.
If you feel the need to use the word "synergy" you've already lost.

No. Diamonds are made from what you start with - carbon.

I'm not sure why they're researching public health issues, but I think you answered the question about why they're using questionable statistics.

I've never seen a worthwhile use of clickers. I've been asked to use them and refused. They're gimmicks. Teaching isn't an opinion poll.
