The talus slopes that it has to traverse to get back out are covered with the little hematite 'blueberries.' Its wheels will just slip and slide. It's like driving on ball bearings. You can check in but you can't check out.
No, but publication of your image without consent is, for example, forbidden in France. Do newspapers in France get permission from all the recognizible people in the crowd when they publish a picture of someone else? Do they have permission from President Bush to publish his photo? Do the people in the crowd at a sports event sign waivers when it is televised?
It is not a matter of what is sensitive or not, it is a matter of respect of the person, that has a right to choose whether they want to be seen by possible millions on a google picture or not. It is a matter of "what is sensitive or not" as that is what the inroductory paragraph to this story claims makes the difference between requiring explicit consent or simple notification. And it strongly implies that Google will need explicit consent to publish their public street photos -- which is not true.
You appearance on the street does not constitute "sensitive personal data" no matter where you are and what you are being photographed in front of. This is an overly alarmist article more suited for the frothing-at-the-mouth types over at Digg than here at Slashdot.
How is this patent different from the 411 operator asking you "city please?" before looking up your search for let's say, Luigi's Pizza, in the city you state rather than wasting her time looking up numbers for Luigi's Pizza in all of the US? Wasn't that a geo-coded search of a networked computer database?
Unfortunately, according to their own patent laws, they can't patent the AK-47.
Since it's been in production for over 50 years, it's certainly not "novel." Here is a link to a 2005 patent (RO117647) at the European Patent Office from Russia which as far as I can tell simply describes the working of an automatic weapon. I far as I can tell, there's nothing novel in it for 2005. It might have been novel in 1905, but 100 years later, I can't see what is patentable.
I don't think there is any way to get hundreds of feet of rope inside of a container a few inches around. You can do it easily. You create the web strings from two liquids like this:
This is the really outrageous part of the story and I'm amazed that it took this long for someone to point it out. Surely the SEC would be interested in a brokerage house being involved in a "pump-and-dump" scheme.
Doesn't this mean that the universe may be much older than we can currently detect in that there may be a lot more of it out there beyond our current event horizon which drops off at about 13.7 billion years? Maybe it is 20 or 30 billion years old but we can only detect it to the 13.7 billion year line.
I sure wish Google Earth had a way to adjust the brightness/contrast of individual tiles or maybe the view window. Some areas are very dim and need brightness/contrast adjustments.
The King family has long held and defended the rights to the "I have a dream" speech that Dr King gave on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. You can't reproduce that speech without obtaining permission and paying a royalty event though it was broadcast live on CBS and is an important part of American political history.
Don't forget that the Native Americans who were forceably taken off their land at gunpoint in Georgia and Alabama, had their land stolen, and were deported to wasteland in Oklahoma sued President Jackson in court saying that his action was grossly illegal and unconstitutional (it was). The US Supreme Court agreed and decided the case in the favor of the Native Americans and against the Jackson adminstration. Jackson just ignored them. He bragged: "(Chief Justice) John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."
What other president's administration has called the Geneva Convention "Quaint" and "Obsolete"? You are distorting the AG's comments. He didn't call the whole of the Geneva Convention "Quaint" and "Obsolete". He said the provisions of it that require POWs to be supplied with sports equipment and special work-out clothes and be paid a monthly stipend to purchase small personal supplies "quaint" and "obsolete" if applied to Al Qaeda prisoners.
$2 gets you a pound I posted this elsewhere, but it's worth a repeat (with a correction to the date) just to show you how ignorant you are (best case) or how you are trying to spin information that you know misleading to make a political point (worst case).
- In Jan 1977 when Jimmy Carter took office in Jan 1977 a British Pound went for $1.72.
- When he left office in Jan 1981 it took $2.42 to get a Pound!
- On the first day of Reagan's second term in Jan 1985 it was $1.11 to the Pound. I don't see how a $2.00 Pound makes Bush worse than Carter in that regard.
Dont forget: (sung to the tune of ""He's got the whole world in his hands") We get twoooo dollars... to the pound... And when Jimmy Carter took office in Jan 1977 a British Pound went for $1.72. When he left office in Jan 1980 it took $2.42 to get a Pound! On the first day of Reagan's second term in Jan 1985 it was $1.11 to the Pound. I don't see how a $2.00 Pound makes Bush worse than Carter.
The Red Square has been imaged thousands of times by hundreds of instruments over the past decade. The square *is there*. You are confusing the "Red Rectangle Nebula" which has been imaged hundreds of times over the past decade with the newly-discovered "Red Square Nebula" which this article is about.
It is most devinitly NOT a lens artifact, look at the other stars Indeed, look at the other stars. At the edges of the photo they are all oval-shaped pointing towards the center. That implies there is something wrong with the imaging.
It's an artifact of the imaging process. Notice how the stars in the corners of the image are all oval-shaped with the major axis of the ellipse pointing exactly towards the "artifact" (not a square nebula) at the center.
Which is why the scene in the bar in Desperado was so cool when the guns kept running out of ammo or were empty when picked up. Finally, it was realistic to some degree. Good God, did I just use the word 'realistic' to describe "Desperado?"

When will we see this technique used to cool the CPUs in gaming machines?
Don't forget that streets at night are always wet. Always. Even in lengthy tunnels where no rain can get (i.e. Back to the Future Part II).
