No, you're missing the point. This thing is not even intended to generate energy but merely to study confined plasmas. Not the "best" by any potential for energy generation as things are at the present. What idiot wrote this summary, our fusion plants, if we *ever* have them, won't run on ordinary hydrogen as the sun does, the fuel in the sun hardly reacts at all. A cubic meter of the sun's core only has the energy output of a candle (though the sun has many such cubic meters!)
so hardly any phones; Verizon would more likely be severing someone's emergency comm than preventing any fire. And Samsung is legally liable by contracts with Verizon, that's SOP for any carrier reselling phones. Verizon is making correct business decision.
a company devoid of the technology and money it would take to make a manned Mars mission says the mission is delayed. Nothing was delayed, that company is not going to Mars in 2031, even a global superpower pouring hundreds of billions won't go there within two decades, technological impossibility. I'm all for colony on Mars, but that will be by USA or China and in 40+ years, that's reality.
cut the crap. it's not a gift at all, they gave their employees nothing. and note well the executives did get their multi-million dollar bonuses. think about what message that gives.
no, not when there are 35 reported fires out of 3 million phones sold. Get some perspective, it's a very unlikely thing and more of those phones will be used for some other emergency this holiday season.
There are planes not under TSA though; I don't see any phone carrier having liability, the contracts with Samsung are already in place to protect Verizon from that.
but Boeing would gladly made the rockets for a Mars mission, or even be the primary contractor for such...as long as there was a paying customer. Of course that's a big difference from being a "Mars starup" looking for investors
Neither one was significant enough in this election to affect result. The huge cesspools of fraud like Chicago didn't matter as clinton took those places anyway, meanwhile she lost electoral college representation which is the only thing that matters.
Samsung will be at fault. Bricked phones can still catch fire for weeks after this disabling update. Removing a customer's emergency comm would make verizon liable.
Three dozen fire incidents is essentially zero anyway, not a high risk
wrong. most phones won't catch fire, hardly any of them have. Those that do, liability is on Samsung. Cutting off someone's emergency comm makes Verizon liable.
Obama runs his mouth or takes pointless actions such as these do give appearance of "doing something."
He's mostly a disappointment, thought he'd accomplish certain things but instead gives us Republican healthcare plan that further fluffs up big insurance and big pharmy and big healthcare chain, fraud and scam energy company support, making Bush/Cheney wiretaps and violation of privacy even worse....disgusting.
No, Trump won majority of Electoral College representatives, who probably will vote for him. Your millions voted for the losing candidate.
The only real discrepancies are from cities known for voting fraud and letting illegals vote; however even though Clinton had the majority in such places the Electoral College did its job and protected us from that particular criminal with no regard for rule of law.
We'll see how Trump regards law in federal office soon.
I'm sure the Jurssaic-era Park would be a disaster, dinosaurs squawking and dropping feathers and poop everywhere. Changing square miles of newspaper every few days is a hassle.
Didn't even know Epson was still in business, all printers I've used in the last 15 years were HP, Canon, Ricoh, Xerox, or Kyrocera. Or were one of those with say "Dell" slapped onto case.
How about you Epson weirdos buy a mainstream printer?
Slashdot Mirror
this is merely a plasma confinement testing machine, it will consume immense amount of energy and produce nothing.
no fusion plant on earth will use ordinary hydrogen as a fuel as the sun does, that produces far far too little energy for a given volume of fuel
fusion is no closer because of 7-x than it was before it was built
what marketing droid wrote the moronic summary?
There is fusion without neutrons but the temperature requirements even higher

Nope law doesn't work that way, Verizon has contract that Samsung is liable for any and all
irrelevant to point. No gifts were given to employees, yet executives got their bonuses.

wrong, bad for Alphabet. They gave their employees nothing for Christmas. Employees appreciate a company that appreciates them.
Get your head screwed on, this isn't "due dillegence" as the phones can still catch fire for weeks.
No, Verizon not liable, contracts in place with Samsung and other phone providers make them not Verizon liable for anything the phone does.
only 35 reported fires out of 3 million phones, those phones are MUCH more likely to be used for emergency comm than to catch fire.
Verizon made correct business decision, good thing most slashdotters don't run a business.

Your provably false statement about a person who "won by millions"?
No, you are ignorant. Elections in the USA don't work the way you imagine they do.

By count of filers? And we'd rather the government default on its debt than to have buyers of bonds? It's a non-issue.
To me Apple is the "blows the fuck up" laptop company of 2006-2008, expanding into phone market I see
yeah forgot "Brother" in that list, but really that's it, 99% of global printer market in a nutshell

Did not mean to imply the fiber was going directly to the homes, but it was being laid for telco data distribution. I have pictures
