This is a terrible example of science working, if you're trying to portray science as useful. All this is, is a set of data, that according to our current scientific theories shows a very high probability that there exists a planet 600 light years away that stands a good chance of having liquid water.
When we land there and find that there is indeed such a planet, that's when we say: "Take that oh deniers of the science. It works bitches,"
If you're trying to show that science works, stick with examples where science has made seemingly outlandish predictions that later turned out to be true. Like the relativistic effects that need to be dealt with for GPS to work. Or go with the daily grind of science that is pumping out useful technologies in the form of airplanes, computers, plastics, and medicine.
If you're wearing a pair of polarized sunglasses, it's always good for a couple seconds of entertainment to sit there and look like an idiot tilting your head back and forth watching an LCD screen flip back and forth between normal and all black as the polarization lines up / goes perpendicular to the monitor's.
It helps that a new LE1700 cost $2,500. The others barely crack $1000. Motion can afford to spend the extra money on the view anywhere screen, insane ruggedness, etc... The battery life on a new battery isn't bad, but yeah, they get pretty terrible when you buy off ebay.
No, in this case, "10 times" had nothing to do with multiplication. It's simply a statement of the number of instances on which they reduced the recharge time. "On last tuesday, we reduced the the recharge time by 1%. On wednesday, we got an extra 1%. We did that up to 8 more times (we lost count, but that's the upper bound)"
I didn't used to reecord lectures, but OneNote now has the ability to search through audio and sync audio with notes, so I can re-listen to a specific part without having to skip back and forth trying to find it.
Get Microsoft OneNote - it has some crazy fuzzy search ability that lets it search through handwriting, text, and audio without converting the analog sources to text first. Since it doesn't first convert to text, it doesn't commit to a single representation of audio, and just searches by sound, so you don't have the issues of badly converted audio. It just lets you jump to the point(s) in the recording that match sound-wise. It also keeps track of when you take written / typed notes vs. the audio recording, so you can follow the lecture with your notes.
Then go get a MotionComputing tablet off of e-bay. They are WAYY to expensive to buy new ($2500+), but they are awesome, and can be bought off ebay for $300. Something like the LE1700 - get the detachable keyboard too if you're likely to want that. Or else, find one of the fujitsu or acer tablets. All these tablets have wacom digitizers, with a pressure sensitive pen, a right-click button on the pen, and the ability to hover, so interfaces work as well as they do with a mouse.
No, but if you have a secure channel to get the one time pad to both parties, why not just use that to transmit the data you want to send. And if you don't have a secure channel to get the one time pad to both parties, then it becomes useless.
The only time that a one-time pad works, is if you have a secure channel at one point in time, but need to send the data at a later time over an unsecure channel. So if you want to start going to your bank in person once a month to pick up a DVD worth of random data for the convenience of being able to do your online banking, then it might be possible.
Does this apply to docx files, or just doc/docm files? The newer word version have removed macro functionality from the docx files, and require you to use docm files for any of that. 2007/2010 also refuse to run macros on any kind of files from non-trusted locations. Or is this an old-fashioned exploit that relies on a buffer overflow or such in a non-macro document?
I once booted DOS 5.0 on 640K of RAM, ran full-screen games on it, loaded WordPerfect no problem, connected to the local BBS, no problem. Didn't even need a pagefile.sys for any of that..
Like to see Windows XP do that.
What's your point.. an old OS runs on old hardware.
You're not being forced. You're certainly allowed to not consume content on any website that chooses to add facebook/twitter/google tracking... If you dislike it that much, contact the content provider and let them know. Websites add these since people sharing links on fb, etc.. can be a major source of incoming traffic. If they thought that the links might be a net loss in traffic, they'd be gone in a second. It just takes enough people to complain.
This could be usefull in low-light situations where you don't have a tripod, but yeah, it's not adding in any new information, it's just better organizing the data that's been captured. Also, I doubt it would be able to do anything for a specific subject that was moving during the shot, rather than the camera.
Whatever idiot moderated this informative should go look for a sale on a new hyperbole detector. There's roughly that many people above 68N, and there's a city of nearly 1,000,000 north of 52N. The general point is valid though - the parts of Canada affected by this are expansive and barely populated.
Because as soon as you get fiber to the North, you're done? Nunavut has a land area bigger than Alaska and 1/20th the population. The largest town is only 7,000 people. The rest are spread across dozens of tiny communities across the north.
Well, at least on windows 7, I can verify that hitting and typing mstsc and hitting enter starts Remote Desktop client, inetmgr start IIS Manager, eventvwr and cmd also work as expected. I have yet to miss run since upgrading from XP, since if there's an exe on the %path% with the name you typed in, it will be the first item in the search list.
Umm... <win-R> - the same as in Windows 7, where there's also no run command.
If you're wanting the little search box that vista and windows 7 have, then that behavior is unchanged. Just hit the windows key (or ctrl-esc) and start typing.
Metro apps can be written in native C++,.NET, or HTML5/JS. So, porting the guts of just about any app to metro is trivial. I've been working on the developer preview with our application, and the integration with the old code is trivially easy. It's the writing of a new interface that poses difficulty. I could see photoshop moving its browser to Metro, or Autocad providing a metro-style viewer - a full screen touch-based Autocad viewer could be pretty cool on a tablet actually.
That's the key right there. With virtualization software in the state that it is now, why would you run POSIX applications shoe-horned into windows, when you can have a proper POSIX system running in a VM.
Then either spend a stack of money to get am x86 tablet that does have an 8 hour battery life, or find the developer of the app you want to run, and ask if they can compile it with the/ARM switch turned on.
If your so concerned about having an 8-hour tablet that runs your desktop software, then those are really your only choices. An iPad / Android / WebOS / Chrome tablet won't do it.
Close- basically it's just saying Microsoft is making its mobile shell like the iPhone in not supporting Flash, whilst every system that has Windows 8 will be able to click/tap a button and switch to a full browser with a less mobile-friendly battery usage and user interface.

They didn't - it's just a full-screen start menu that happens to be able to run apps.

I think I saw something like that on Ducktales.
Surround this with one of those sound-wave invisibility metamaterials, and the earthquake can just pass around it, without affecting it.

the Nook tries booting from the SD card first before booting from internal storage
Yay for boot-sector viruses!

OEMs don't need this to lock in hardware, they can do this just fine with regular BIOS.

As a licensed mathematician, I'm going to have to call foul on that. Leave the factoring to us. Union duties and such...
I propose "re-developing"
