What a moronic story. It makes no sense whatsoever to whomever knows anything about data, security or whatever. Dozens of stories get rejected from./ every day. How the F**K this gets approved speaks very lowly of./ quality control.
The impact factor of Physics Letters B is a mere 3.5. Not a high-profile journal by any means. This is a place where somewhat interesting results are published, not a place where one of the most important particle physics discoveries of the last decades should be published (Phys. Rev. Letters, Nature, Science, would come to mind as high-profile journals). This is a definite red herring.
The point is that the slower car's driver is ALSO USING HIS/HER BRAIN. I can tell you I never felt safer than driving in the autobahns in Germany and Austria (my poor VW Golf rented from Prague was not able to go more than 140-160 km/h, and I overpassed some cars and was overpassed by others, all in all everyone was pretty careful). I stand by my statements:)
I've driven in the autobahn in Germany and in Austria. Some of them aren't that different than the typical US interestate, in fact I would even say that most interstates are actually better with wider lanes, more gentle curves and longer acceleration in-ramps compared to the autobahns I've driven in. Cars were not significantly newer/better either. The ONLY significant difference is that people actually use their BRAINS while driving in the autobahn. Specifically: you drive in the lane that corresponds to your speed, and pull to the right IMMEDIATELY after overpassing (because the BMW coming behind is coming pretty fast). Drivers going 200 km/h are extra careful, and assume that someone may pull in front of them to overpass another car. All in all, it is the fact that they are using the most important safety device, the BRAIN, rather than trusting some gizmo (technology, anti-lock brakes, etc) to keep them safe.
It has been 100% clear that the only promises that hold are those in which both parties have an permanent interest, i.e., you need a service and they want your money... not once, but continuously, like in every month. Ceasing their incentive to offer the service any company will find a way to get out of the deal no matter what has been promised. Simple enough? Sure you can sue, and probably will get your $$. Most people won't bother. Damage to their reputation?? Who the heck remembers what joyent is never mind who will remember in 2 months? Got it yet?
"It feels like Apple has run out of ideas. Or worse, that Apple is too afraid to implement new concepts, fearing it will kill the company's golden goose. "

Unless you have a radar wavelength smaller than the size of a raindrop (\lambda 0.5 mm seems far-fetched), then you CANNOT SPOT INDIVIDUAL RAINDROPS. Furthermore, to achieve the kind of ANGULAR RESOLUTION required, would necessitate a HUGE-sized dish given that roughly speaking the diffracion limit is \Delta \theta ~ \frac{\lambda}{D}, where D = diameter of the dish. What the article says is that you can understand the size and distribution of MANY small raindrops in a cloud, which presumably before you could not. I am amazed how little basic physics/.-tters seem to know.
But this is PRECISELY the point. They can leverage Office. I have an ipad2, and the lack of office compatibility (the iwork suite is cheap and a joke) is an issue; and so is the lack of a good digitizer pen. Pity they will not include the digitizing pen on the lighter model (the heavier model looks like a no-go to me).
I am as anti-republican as it gets, and the TSA was Dubya's creation... But NOW, the buck stops at Obama and it is time to end the excuses. The TSA is a criminal organization that depends on the executive. Either dismantle it, make it work as it should (oxymoron for the TSA?), or it is your fault, Mr. President. Unfortunately this is the most common thing with Obama: every nasty thing that came from Dubya is still in place (illegal detentions in Guantanamo, illegal occupation of Afghanistan, the molesters at the TSA, the economics team, the economics policies, the tax breaks for the rich, everything!). So, what is the difference between Obama and Dubya? The color of the skin and empty talk.
Mod parent up. It is really a very big design flaw (on purpose?) of ios and android. Should not be up to the apps to decide whether they can access private data.
And does a tremendously crappy job at it. Screws-up the fonts, lots of other things too. Moreover, it is not just that things are visualized incorrectly, they are also corrupted in the original file.
the batteries that last "up to 5 hours" (which is basically a guarantee that they will not last over 5 hours, and is consistent with lasting 5 minutes). All companies are committing fraud.

Will the cray2 blend as well as the ipad2?

Point 1 maybe... point 2??? "different quality of life" is that a new euphemism for the racial profiling, bigotry and racism of AZ? Thanks but I pass.
I must be new to chemistry, never heard of HO_2 before...
Evidently posting anything anti-apple in this forum gets the fanboys fuming. Modded to "Troll"??? /. has become full of really stup*d fanboys.
"It feels like Apple has run out of ideas. Or worse, that Apple is too afraid to implement new concepts, fearing it will kill the company's golden goose. "
You will need to open it exactly 1 time. I couldn't care less. /. is getting saturated with dumb dumb dumb articles.
And I thought the anthrax scare was back... Oh, well, read on.
Yep, I always get my greeks and romans mixed-up... Thanks!

Thirded.
I doubt I will be able to see the difference... :)

If lack of intelligence is a genetic trait, we will see evolution at its best. Those people will cease to exist with time...
And I read "suck" and then later on "Granted you can blow $100k on a mill if you really wanted to"... Somehow I read MILF :)

Republicans are evil. Unfortunately the democrats are just plain incompetent. Sigh!
