Only if there is no scrubber at the power plant. Modern coal power plants are quite clean.
Clean coal is a myth. That radioactive (and mercury, lead, arsenic, thallium and other toxic material containing) fly ash the scrubbers capture still has to go somewhere, and scrubbers are not 100% efficient. What happens with the waste? It sits outside in large piles, until their containment pond fails and wipes out the nearest town and seriously pollutes the nearby water source.
At least nuclear plants keep their spent fuel waste inside and rarely have accidents (Note this is the Largest ash spill, there have been many others), especially caused by something as rare as rain and cold temps. This also does not take into account accidents, health complications, or environmental impact related to mining the stuff.
I personally believe its our constant exposure to dihydrogen monoxide. Its particularly nasty when inhaled in liquid form. Its also to blame for this whole disaster to begin with!
They provide SIP service, starting at per use only (about $3 if you dont use it) and up to full unlimited international. My old cellphone is now a sip line fwd'd to my work cell phone. That way if/when I have to change jobs, I still have my old # and can at least use it on my computers via sip clients.
With a wifi sip phone, you can input your SIP account info and anywhere you have internets via WiFi, you have fone. If you want, you could get a mifi + usb data card to do the wifi bits. I have a cradlepoint PHS300 (courtesy a Woot! BOC) that works awesome, just plug in my Blackberry and I dont have to deal with the crappy bbdesktop or Sprint software.
The company that got the fine turns around and challenges the Government's right to meddle with private businesses, and gets the penalty eliminated while saying the USDH doesnt have the authority to fine people.... I swear, if we have Departments setup to regulate businesses, what good does it do to not allow them to actually enforce their regulations???
Yes, because only a terrorist would do that, so you would be arrested on the spot if you tried to use it!! Yeh, sure your "friend" gave it to you, or you got it from selling stuff at a "yard sale", thats just terrorist speak for fellow terrorist and Arms Sale!
Also one of the first I got with my NES (for xmass), along with the 3pack cartridge of Super Mario, Duck Hunt and Track Meet (yeh, had the powerpad combo pack). Still have it all here, except the powerpad, right under the PS1 (most modern console I have). Grew up playing neighbor's 2600 until I got the NES.

Newsflash: SF Bay area has had transponder based tolls since 2000 (see FasTrak). They still have cash lanes for those of us that dont drive over the bridges enough to justify getting the thing (it requires you to associate a debit card/account for reloading, and have a minimum balance in your fastrak account at all times (ie: money sitting in an account not getting interest), and for tourists and others in rental cars or whoever else is driving through without the box.
What TFA is about (going from the newspaper article I read about it this morning, not TFA) is getting completely rid of the toll collectors and toll booths and just billing everyone by license plate.... which doesnt work for new car tags, rentals, people borrowing/stealing someone else's car or altering their tags, or out-of-state travelers driving through (I doubt they have authority to track down their address from the other state's DOT for billing). I agree with the motion, need to move to fully automated booths, but mailing bills is not the answer. Put up kiosks that take bills, coins, or credit card swipes, they would work faster than the toll booth operators we have now, that sometimes will let you sit there while they count out bills and swap stacks around before taking your exact change...
Whats not mentioned is the other bay area bridges, the golden gate is only the most famous of them. The oakland/bay bridge (the one that collapsed in the Loma Prieta quake), San Mateo hwy 92 bridge (once the longest bridge in the world, now 25th), Dumbarton, and Richmond bridges are also toll, and will also probably see the same elimination of toll booth operators.
Like others have said, this is easily preventable. HTTPS. Make the http login page redirect to https, and make pages default to https and no more login stealing-by-snooping (firesheep) will work. As is, you can login via https, but all the links on the page are http. VERY annoying.
Yes, https increases CPU and bandwidth, but if you also include the benefits: reduction in staff, support, bandwidth, cpu, etc currently wasted trying to fix the resulting stolen/hijacked accounts, it would come out ahead, probably way ahead.

I gave up on Bing for most searches when it repeatedly failed to find a Microsoft Knowledge base article about a fairly common problem, that was quickly returned as the top hit on google.
The one somewhat useful feature is its travel section, comparing and attempting to predict airfare. It gives a much cleaner and featureful interface than Orbitz/travelocity/expedia/etc (even though it also launches them for comparison). The price predictor thing is only somewhat accurate though, if you know what tickets to your destination generally go for, its easy to buy them when they hit the right price without bothering with it.
Think I have them zipped up on a floppy somewhere, probably 2 floppies actually (5 and 6 were WAY larger than the others). Will have to go dig out a drive and see if they rotted too much to recover.
Ahhh keen.. wasted so much time in the drafting lab in HS playing keen (and then wolfenstein 3d, and Doom) instead of autocad...
With kids making autonomous turrets out of paintball guns, legos and Nerf Guns, I no longer see these as new or special. I would be extremely surprised if they were not in wide use in some form already (ie: auto-hunt, but wait for human confirmation of target before firing), with many more functions than just machine gun (missiles, grenades, laser targeter, etc)
YOU CAN'T RESELL E-TEXTS. When I was in college I used to buy books for about $50 used, get my work out of it, and then sell it for $40 at the end of semester. NET COST: $10.
Now this e-text idea will prevent us from doing that. It will end-up costing MORE not less.
...until profs realized they could bump the version numbers of the text, change a few $variables in the problem sets so the answers would be a little different, and force more books to be bought ( which meant more $$ into the prof's pocket, since they typically wrote the book). Then your $90 calclueless book became a $90 monitor stand, since its out of date and no bookstore would buy it back.
Mojave is an interesting/strange place to visit. Driving through there you can (could) see the planes lined up in the graveyard. The roads around it are setup kinda strange, and its got large fully gridded out sections of land complete with roads and street names, but nothing actually there. I wonder if Scaled composites ramping things up or the airport becoming the space port made them clean up the boneyard, the google maps satellite view now shows only a handful of jets, most look flight ready, the fields are mostly empty and you can see where most of the stuff was parked. Not the same as when I drove through about 3 years ago...

Possible automotive applications include adaptive lane-changing and adaptive cruise
How does being the "strongest/fastest/most dextrous" humanoid robot assist with such things vs a computer + servo on the automotive controls?
And wtf does this even mean:
“It allows us to do work and do it safely.side by side with astronauts or with workers here on Earth,”
TFA is confusing and very poorly written. It touts one thing, but then hints at completely different things.
