As a New Zealander I cant say that I am very happy with this decision. I think that an exemption must be made for hands free kits for these phones/satnavs. The rest of the new law was banning talking on a cellphone or txting while driving a vehicle, is commendable, but common sense needs to bear with laws like these.
RoHS? Nowhere in the article does it say that lead free solder is the cause. The 'yellow light' failure rate for the PS3 is less than 0.5%, no different from leaded solder.
What evidence do you have that the failure is caused directly by RoHS compliant manufacturing techniques?
Remeber that mass causes a curvature in spacetime ( General Relativity ), so inside the event horizion, spacetime is curved in on itself so much that light cannot escape, as all possible directions inside the event horizion point towards the center. While a 'calculated' escape velocity inside the event horizion may turn out to be a speed higher than lightspeed, no matter can ever reach that speed.
As far as we can tell, gravity moves at the speed of light, so therefore gravitational waves will have a speed limit of lightspeed.
Well there you go, if Hell Bell is using it, then people who are not are just fools!
But, not to insult your obviously incredible intellect ( judging from your scornful post ), ever thought that maybe ( just *maybe* ) X-Plane doesnt fit their needs exactly?
Im not surprised that you have seen Barbie Jeeps bigger than that car. In America, there are only two sizes of anything available. "Huge", and "way over the top freaking enormous". Heck, even the size of the American model of Human is following that trend.
"The solution to criminals with guns is citizens with guns." And right there, that comment fully sums up the stereotype the rest of the world sees about US gun laws/ideals.
Why is there an assumption that if something is built for military intelligence, its therefore part of a huge government conspiracy to spy on you? Hearing this all the time is getting old hat...and a tin foil covered one at that...
Well, when your grid ( and im assuming the US one ) is running right to its limits, something needs to be done. You have no real room for failure, look at the last chain reaction of outages there were. Increasing capacity of the grid will increase efficiency (to a point of course). But you gain from less losses, and increased reliability...how much did the last major grid outage cost you, as a country?
The electrical grid is a critical piece of infrastructure for any economy. If you dont invest in it correctly, it will come round and bite you in the proverbial.
I think the idea is to build facilities that produce nothing but "liquid wood", so it is a non issue for paper mills. If it can be worked out, and produce proper "consumer friendly" replacements to currently used plastics, then its nothing but a win-win situation. No extra CO2 is being released into the atmosphere, compared to plastic, whatever its eventual fate.
On a side note, people here comment that trees rotting releases CO2 into the atmosphere..while true on a small level, most of it ends locked up into biomass...and at geological timescales, into oil...
This is great outreach material for the general public, something that most people would actually find interesting if it was used by the media. If they haven't already, this stuff should be in the public domain, perfect for Broadcasters and Doco people.
Youre missing one major thing AC...unlike 'God', we have this thing called empirical evidence. The 'Faith' he was talking about is faith that the scientists know what they are talking about...something that *can* be tested and proved/disproved. With religious faith, its simply beleiving something that cannot be proven, simply based upon human wishes, hopes, dreams, tradition, magic and superstition.
The atmosphere is way way too thin for that to be practical. It should be pretty obvious that if there was an easier and more reliable method of landing a 900kg rover, NASA would have gone with that.
NASA engineers are somewhat of an intelligent bunch methinks...
yes, it is definitely possible to 'deplete' a geothermal resource, but it will recover given enough time ( lots of time ). For example the Wairakei geothermal field here in New Zealand has depleted somewhat because they oversized the geothermal plant when it was built and it has been running for 60 years! ( but we forgive them, it was built in 1958, and it is the second oldest geothermal power plant in the world ). The wikipedia article on geothermal power describes depletion in more detail
well if you RTFA you would have seen that it can read those signals, the reviewers just didnt master them enough within the time they had the unit for.

This law needs amendment.
RoHS? Nowhere in the article does it say that lead free solder is the cause. The 'yellow light' failure rate for the PS3 is less than 0.5%, no different from leaded solder.

This looks like your standard Straw-Man fallacy.
No, not quite.

Oh noes! his analysis wasnt biologically perfect, therefore everything else he has stated is instantly rendered completely and utterly wrong!
See what you did there ACoward? yup, a nice big fat logical fallacy, thats what you did.
Works fine for me.

An electron *IS* infinitely small...it has zero ( mathematically zero ) size...its a point particle.

Who says its just an engineering exercise, in america they dont solder, they 'sodder', so it may excite more than just certain geeks.
At the risk of suggesting illegality. Linear Amplification. ( for the receive end )

yeah right, as if there is no legitimate use of BT, you fucking lowlife piece of shit.
Hacking reality? That sound like Engineering to me.
