Never mind the lettuce, what about the cows? How will cows stand up to low gravity?
The more important question is can they jump hard enough to achieve escape velocity. There's no point in bringing any animal to the moon if it can head back to earth under its own power.
The ISS is currently screwed because they can't get a single bolt to turn and are paralysed with indecision:
They stretched the space walk an extra hour and forty five minutes to try and fix the bolt. Nothing they tried worked, so NASA told the astronauts to strap the box down and leave it for the next scheduled spacewalk.
I'm not sure how you took those facts and ended up at "paralysed with indecision."
They have malware because they're heavy uses of American Software.
Stuxnet came first and it was highly targeted at specific hardware configurations that would only be found in Iranian nuclear facilities.
I don't think it would have mattered what software the Iranians had installed, since the (alleged) American/Israeli coders had all the time in the world to replicate the setup and probe for exploits.
The problem isn't American software, it's that flaws will creep into the most carefully crafted code. Even the OSS theory that 'given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow' hasn't prevented exploits from lingering in Linux code for years.
tldr version: They have malware because people are trying to hack them.
I don't foresee a future where the infrastructure can match demand. As capacity grows, people will demand more data services from more mobile devices and saturate the capacity unless pricing prevents them from doing so, and prices in a free market would normally be be set such that they fall a short of saturation.
It's possible the free de-dup program was trying to do that. Best case scenarios would put your hash time at 1.5~6 hours (100 MB/s to 25 MB/s) for 4.9 TB
But millions of small files are the absolute worst case scenario. God help you if there's any defragmentation.
2) Because it's easy to accidentally make poison if you don't do it just right (by brewing a high quantity of methanol or other non-edible alcohols instead of ethanol).
When you're distilling, there are three ways to poison yourself 1. Using a car radiator held together with lead solder in your cooling loop 2. Not throwing away enough of the heads or tails of your distilling run 3. Cutting the hooch with lye, antifreeze, etc because you're cheap and want to kill your customers.
When you're making vodka or grain alcohol, you throw away most of the heads/tails. But when you're making anything with flavor, you have to keep some of the nasty stuff, because that's where the flavors are.
I've met plenty of Muslims who pray 5 times a day and then go out drinking at night. Some of them actually felt bad about their hypocrisy./the conspiracy minded would probably argue that Obama is drinking alcohol in order to trick the American people
I wouldn't be so quick to call his comment rational. Or at least not the part about oil, unless global commerce is also fueled by maple syrup.
Nobody keeps strategic oil reserves "to stabilize the price so people keep buying the stuff instead of switching to something else" They keep them so that the country doesn't grind to a halt the next time there's a significant supply disruption.
AMD and nVidia put the secret sauce in their drivers. Otherwise there wouldn't be much of a benefit from soft/hardmodding a gaming card into a commercial card that sells for 2x to 5x as much.
There are religious fundamentalists, both in the USA and Africa, who are against this. And even if you could get programs started, there are significant cultural hurdles to overcome before anyone will actually use birth control.
No, if we, as natural animals, cause the extinction of another species it is because it was unfit to survive and should be left extinct. Human beings are not outside nature and its methods of determining which species are worthy of survival.
Tell that to the North Atlantic Cod Or the Southern Atlantic Jack Mackerel Or the Atlanto-Scandian Herring Or the California Sardine Or the Pacific Yellowtail Flounder Or about 20 other species of fish who have been driven to the brink of extinction by overfishing
It's one thing to drive a species to extinction by accident, it's entirely another thing to do it on purpose, out of naked greed.
Personally I do also believe we are at a defining moment in the modern computing industry
There have been many "defining" moments in modern computer history. What's so defining about this particular moment with its clone army of touchscreen phones?
so even if this lawsuit may end up being of little to no importance the close attention is warranted.
This lawsuit is important becase two 800 lb gorillas went nuclear with injunctions instead of settling with the usual cross licensing agreement. Which is to say, why they are fighting is less important than the fact that they are fighting. Apple injunction hearing against Samsung phones set for Dec. 6
Hopefully we don't have any more articles about the case until then.
If your company didn't need Java to interact with internal or client/vendor/etc websites, you probably shouldn't have it installed in the first place. Firewalls and antivirus scanners are nice, but reducing the attack surface is better.
I kid you not, the copy file progress dialog in Windows 8 is a thing of beauty. If you havenâ(TM)t seen it in action, and you are a fan of cool user interfaces, you owe it to yourself. To say I am impressed with what the team at Microsoft has accomplished would be a massive understatement.
So I take this to mean that MS did not fix the dialog's 5000% difference between guesstimated time and actual transfer time?
âoeWe immediately removed the alleged offending links to content that could be [connected to] the two companies and replied to FACT assuring them of our cooperation in the matter, but asking them to point out examples of potentially offending links,â a UKNova admin told us.
âoeALL links or access to content provided by UKNova are infringing, unless you can prove that you have obtained explicit permission from the copyright holder for that content,â was FACTâ(TM)s response.
If copyrighted content from only two Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) members was being shared, where does FACT get off telling UKNova that everything is assumed to be infringing? I mean, that's a lovely assumption, but unless FACT can show it represents the interests of those copyright holders, they have no standing to do anything against UKNova. Or is that not how the law works in the UK?
Capitalism has nothing to do with this. Greed, corruption, monopoly, and cronyism are not part of capitalism. Not even close.

In fact, real capitalism cannot exist in an atmosphere that is so rife with these things.
Everything that happened before America's trust busting era would suggest otherwise. I'm also calling a No True Scotsman foul.
There's a huge gap between what you want capitalism to be and what it actually has been and currently is. Heck, we haven't even had a purely capitalist economy in the USA for over a century, and the capitalists still manage to crater the economy every few decades.

The comments are by far the best part of that blog post.
"Perhaps not quite the right time to be trying an upsell, guys â¦"
Mark my words: someday a book will be nominated for the Hugo awards,
and the antagonist of that book will be a company named Ustream.

It's fundamentally a problem with not validating inputs. Without getting too technical...
Problem 1: Browsers try real hard to be clever and interpret maltagged/malformed content instead of validating inputs.
Problem 2: There are a lot of checks in most browsers against 'cross site scripting', which is fundamentally a problem of not validating inputs.
/don't forget to validate your outputs either.
I wonder if the Geek.net overlords have implemented unicode support at SourceForge or Think Geek.
