Yes, but 20 degrees is not perpendicular. David_Hart claimed the wind needs to blow perpendicular to the direction of travel, and the people who actually made the thing said it needs to be at an angle of at least 20 degrees.
The only serious problem I can see is this scenario:
- conventional processors stop improving much - people buy processors less often because they're not getting better - some processor makers go out of business due to reduced demand
Then when the industry picks back up again, there are fewer competitors. I have no idea how likely that all is though.
I think I'm missing something about your proposal. It seems to me the two main problems with scientific publications in question here are publications that don't really do peer review, and peer reviewers who sign off on a submission without really giving it a thorough examination. How does "checking blockchains" solve either of those problems?
How does blockchain help? Unscrupulous publications presumably would not use it. The good ones are already requiring work to be reviewed before it is accepted.
I knew a relative of his (also named Farnsworth) and it turns out they have the same hairstyle. Kind of a resemblance in facial features too if my memory is serving accurately.
No, but I believe his company was the first to use a moving assembly line to mass produce cars. Apparently Olds was the first to mass produce a car, with a stationary assembly line.
Surely they can figure out a way to have the bearings and such not exposed to salt water spray. Not to say they'll be zero maintenance, but that just seems like a solvable problem.
Or you could actually read the article and see that it's because better materials, higher cost of fuel, and greater pressure on emissions are starting to make it an attractive proposition.
That being said, it still needs a steady 20+ knot wind blowing perpendicular to the line of travel....
That statement contradicts the article:
"Rotor sails are generally effective if the wind is moving faster than 18 kilometers per hour—roughly 10 knots—and is blowing across the ship’s bow at an angle of at least 20. Ships often encounter such conditions on northern Pacific and northern Atlantic shipping routes..."
Well if you read the article (ridiculous, I know)...

Transition to what? We're maybe OK for the next 10 or 20 years, maybe even more. If computers start doing the jobs of engineers, doctors, programmers, lawyers, and robot technicians (and have already taken over much of transportation, warehousing, retail stocking, food service, construction, emergency services, military) what is it these millions of people are going to transition to? There's this idea that because every revolution in the past has led to more new jobs created than old jobs destroyed that it will happen that way every time. But if robots become about as capable at most tasks as a human, both physically and mentally, there's no reason to think that will be the case.
Robots will (and do) create wealth all right. And the wealthy are getting better and better at making sure increases in wealth go to them and only them.
You don't find it plausible BSD users are less than 1 in 20,000? I've never met one or seen it, and don't even recall anyone ever mentioning it outside of places like slashdot. There could still be 10 thousand or so in the US at that percentage.
The sale of that phone wouldn't count in desktop sales numbers though. And if surveyed, not everyone who used a phone in that way would report using a "desktop computer" or "PC" - maybe hardly anyone would.
Oh cool, I thought they went to standard candy bar with the 4. Yeah my Droid 3 had micro HDMI too, that was pretty cool though I didn't use it often. I don't miss a swappable battery at all - yet. The problem is when the battery degrades enough to be annoying, I have to get a new phone or try to pry this one apart and probably break it, and then get a new phone. I would definitely enjoy a hardware keyboard again.

Your analogy is right on, but tell me it's a waste of energy to produce this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ;-)

That's correct. Tizen however is not based on Android.

most americans in no way believe he invented the car
I hope you're right, but I am not so confident of that. These are the same people who think Europe is a country.

Second, Google's tried the 3rd party vendor route and gotten %%%% products out of it
Hey, you be nice to my phone!
Unless Samsung takes a page out of the same book and creates their own OS dev team and branches Android into their own offering.
Not Android, but Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

That's more like it!
I insist you cease being so reasonable and gracious. This is the internet!
What does this case have to do with copyright or the DMCA?
Maybe you should stop reading articles posted to science.slashdot.org, because none of those will be about things being built in a factory.
Or you could actually read the article and see that it's because better materials, higher cost of fuel, and greater pressure on emissions are starting to make it an attractive proposition.

Forget natural disasters, I'm going to where they only have earthquakes and landslides! ;-)

(since we're not discussing whether Android should be called GNU/Android)
If we followed Stallman's advice, it would be Android/Linux! (that's Stallman who goes on about GNU/Linux, right?)
