You seem to have missed reading the word 'observed' in your reply to the poster above. You cannot see air, you cannot see dark matter. Directly. (dark matter does not interact with matter via the Electromagnetic Force). But through measuring its other effects on matter, we can infer its existence. Kind of like air. (please note the use of the word 'kind' in the previous sentence)
The poster above was making the point that we cannot see air through the visible spectrum that our eyes detect. He made this point to show the similarity to how we can detect ( but cannot see ), dark matter.
That is the reason you could not make sense of his post. Now that the word 'observed' has been pointed out to you, everything will now become clear to you.
What I love about Android and OSS in general is that we are free to change it as we see fit. If somebody comes up with a fresh new idea of how to make something as complex as a smartphone OS easy and intuitive to use, then there is nothing stopping them making it. Just keep well away from other companies patents.
Modify iOS? Hell no, Apple Legal would utterly destroy you.
My mistake, I missed a zero. Funny how many different numbers I see flying around for how old humans are, yet everyone's up in arms about a simple oversight.
Hi there, you must be new to Slashdot. Welcome to Slashdot.
Poor Google? How about poor Canadian WWW, almost every website that's hosted in Canada has at least one hyperlink to an external site, the contents of which are copyrighted.
"Explain to them what a rem is, and how the sun gives you more radiation in a day than most people will experience, with the exception of medical imaging devices and flying on high-altitude airplanes, throughout their lives."
ahhhhh....cant get my head around this one.
So youre telling me that if i spend a day outside in the sun, ill receive more radiation than most people will experience in their lives.
So most people in the world gets less than one days sunshine throughout their entire lives? ummm......no Or is there something special about whoever reads your comment that causes them to get more solar radiation in a day than the combined radiation of an entire persons life?
Neither the tsunami nor the earthquake were unprecedented, they have happened in Japan for a very long time, and they have known the real risks for a long time.
Theres a reason the word tsunami is Japanese.
Poor design is still poor design. They sure as hell wont make that mistake again, so there is a silver lining to this.
I NASA has the code base pretty well covered, you need to deal with the ~20 min light speed time delay, which increasingly requires more autonomy from the rover to make exploration more efficient time-wise.
But wouldnt it be nice just to tell a robot to dig a hole of blah dimensions, place dirt at blah, come back the next day and find it done.
Yes, that would be the group of people who are trying to get rid of wifi because they believe that wifi harms them. That belief is false. Hence my statement about not caving in and allowing wifi to be abolished based purely upon a false belief.
The iPhone is a good phone, so are a few Android phones.
The fanbois show their true colours when they cannot accept any other phone or brand is as good as theirs. They also do when they go on and on and on about how crap all the other phones are and how wonderful theirs is.
Reality, as always, is usually smack down the middle.
Actually, not all studies are created equal, but what we *do* know is that there are more *quality* studies showing that it is harmless at the power levels in use today, than there are *quality* studies showing harmful effects.

What missing link?
I have done the research to answer those questions. And I found no reason to question the results of the investigation by the 'experts'.
No conspiracy is required to explain what happened on 9/11, only science and engineering.
But since you posted that as an AC, why are you still not talking about it?
I think its down to the fact that people have not yet sorted out whether Gingerism is a bad thing or not.
Is it un-ethical to commit Gingerism? Or even immoral?
To be honest, I really dont know, I havent thought about it deeply enough.
We need more debate on the subject, and need to reach a consensus.
Two words mate: Libel Laws.
If you live in the UK, be afraid of what you say in public. Be very afraid. One wrong word, and you are screwed.
"Back then Microsoft was using their shear size to dominate other companies"
Now the shoe is on the other foot. I remember reading back in those years, that Apple would make a worse Microsoft than Microsoft.
Whoever said that was a bloody psychic.
I see the experts were Confounded.
Does anybody know if they were also Baffled, or Stumped? It would also be good to know if they were also left Scratching Their Heads?
Oh yeah, were they Dumbfounded too?

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. But it is not magic.
Moral of the story?
There is no such thing as magic.

or what, coz im just not getting this.
"I know of at least a dozen times where someone has started to build a new nuclear reactor since 1978, but it never made it through the process."
WTF? who in their right mind would start construction of a multi billion dollar plant BEFORE the approval was complete?

OCR what? Its the 21st century, authors don't write books using typewriters anymore.
They haven't for many decades.
Im happy to inform you that yes, you are in fact the only one who thought of that.
Here's a cookie.
And him being MORMON affects the story or writing how?

geez, dont you guys take that bible stuff a little bit too seriously?
Its not all purely literal truth you know ( there is no such thing as magic )
We dont realistically run out, the number of combinations is mind boggling.

Sigh...potential long term effects are known. There are not any.
Their belief is irrational. It goes against the majority of evidence concerning low power radio waves effects on human tissue.
Weve had radio for what, over a hundred years now? Weve had 2GHz+ radio for how many decades?
Is that not long term enough?
