There actually are two obvious sources of power that you could render hydrogen while driving. The first, and probably most obvious is a solar panel on the roof of the vehicle. The obvious limitation here is that it doesn't work in the dark, but on a nice bright day, perhaps it would be useful. Additionally, this might allow you to "refill" while away from the vehicle.
The other option is the generation of power through energy recovery when braking. Of course, this is of almost no practical use on open roadway, but in city driving could recover quite a bit of energy, and is standard equipment for most hybrids, as I recall.
My guess would be the familiar bystander effect which some of the other comments have touched on, but not named explicitly. Obviously, the most well known case of bystander effect was the New York City murder of Kitty Genovese where dozens of individuals heard her screaming while being murder but no one bothered to call the police.
People frequently come up with excusses why they won't do a given altruistic activity, and one of the frequent reasons is that someone else will do it for them. Giving blood, money, or even your time are someone elses problem.
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is upset by a rapid intake of water.
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by a very rapid intake of water.
Hmm, you might actually be correct about that, although I will point out that doing so outside of the US is illegal regardless of intent. I think this is probably a more the more appropriate law for your example. So (standard disclaimer applies, ie. IANAL) as long as you make no attempt to actual pass these off as geniune (regardless of whether you receive any compensation) it appears to be legal. In the gentleman's case, I would probably argue that indeed he was passing them off as geniune, although probably without full regard to the consequences. A nice watermark on them still would have been a good idea.
Regardless, you are correct about the counterfeiting being legal.
Actually it is. Despite that, I agree with you, the problem is not the fact that money is being reproduced, but that it is being used illegally. However, there is also a long history of counterfeiting being used to reduce the value of money. With that in mind, it is legal to reproduce a dollar bill, provided that the reproduction is sufficiently larger or smaller. I believe the proportion was 50% or 150% normal size.
The gentleman being investigated by the TSA probably should have included a "This is a illegal reproduction" as text, as a watermark, or something else included in the image. At least then he would of had plausible deniability.
OMG! That is too funny. As another poster already noted, the problem is that I ran the setup command from the cdrom directory. When I try to unmount it, it fails because I am inside the mount point.
We're at a CO2 level even highter that what we had during the height of the ice age, yet the arctic glaciers that swept through all of Europe and North America somehow are not advancing on us at the alarming rate they should be?
Of course not. CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas, and an increase in it's concentration causes more sunlight to be reflected back to the surface of the Earth rather than sent out into space, thereby raising the temperature. The 200ppm concentration of CO2 was measured from the last Ice Age. Their data shows a positive correlation between CO2 concentration and temperature, or in simpler terms: as CO2 concentrations increase, temperatures have also increased.
I think it would be extremely easy actually, at least with the punch card type of voting machines. All that someone would have to do is swap out the sheet that displays the candidates and the hole to punch signifying a vote for that candidate. The paper trail would show that the voter selected the candidate, and if you only altered one of the 20 machines in a precinct, who would know. Following the election swap back to the original and nobody is the wiser.
Car manufacturers do do (haha) this. I know at least the Mazda RX-8 with an automatic transmission has been throttled back significantly.
Wish I could find a better link, but this should work.
A survey is a study. However, any college student that has taken a research methods class would tell you that reliability of a survey is quite low compared to other studies. It is therefore, a much less desireable study to run. Both point #1 and #2 are valid for all surveys, which leads to the reliability issues. What might be more interesting to know would be whether ESA(?) ended up selecting customers that they knew had good Linux experiencees.
One thing to keep in mind however, is that humans are stupid. I say this because although it might be simple to criticize this study for being unreliable and possibily inaccurate, it samples real people and their opinions. This is important because HOW these people feel about a product is going to usually lead to it being choosen, or not. A study that watched outages, kept accurate accounts of downtime, patch time, etc... would be the real proof, but if someone feels that a product was inferior, they are ultimately going to get rid of it, regardless of real proof.
Unstructured information management (UIM) applications are software systems that analyze unstructured information (text, audio, video, images, etc.) to discover, organize, and deliver relevant knowledge to the user. In analyzing unstructured information, UIM applications make use of a variety of analysis technologies, including statistical and rule-based Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR), machine learning, and ontologies. IBM's UIMA is an architectural and software framework that supports creation, discovery, composition, and deployment of a broad range of analysis capabilities and the linking of them to structured information services, such as databases or search engines. The UIMA framework provides a run-time environment in which developers can plug in and run their UIMA component implementations, along with other independently-developed components, and with which they can build and deploy UIM applications. The framework is not specific to any IDE or platform.
It's also making a big assumption that the white hat found the bug first. If a black hat has already found the bug and is exploiting it, then the white hat not reporting the bug is just giving the black hat more time to exploit.
I'm not sure what the penalty is for destroying evidence (accidentally laundry mishap should do it)... but I'm sure I'm guessing that it's a hell of a lot less than the $300 million and 5 years in jail that they'll try to pin these guys with.
Encrypted filesystem would be a better idea. You get your password/private key put onto a usb thumb drive that you have on your keychain. Everything works if you have the keychain in your usb port at boot. If not... it doesn't boot.
For starters because most of the life threatening asteroids that we see usually end up being discovered as they fly by us. It seems that most of the time we find out about the asteroids after they have just passed dangerously close to us, or when they are so close we would be screwed.
I would say that it would be more useful to start at the beginning of the problem and search the sky for these first... but I think most of that money was probably redirected to Mars.
This should really surprise anyone. She's #8 on the MS political contributions list. In fact, 7 of the top 8 are from Washington. But in at #2 is everyones friend, Dubya.
If you read the article you'd see that they only looked for 4 common spyware programs. That's the reason there are only 1 in 20.
They also mentioned that college students are more computer literate, and therefore less likely to install spyware. I call bullshit. I've seen enough college students to know they are just as dumb as everybody else out there.

Yeah I have a lot of trouble with multiple CD game installs too.
/cdrom /cdrom /cdrom
mount
cd

umount
WTF! The cdrom is not busy you lying piece of crap! Eject you SOB!
Actually, dopamine doesn't pass through the blood/brain barrier, so it would have to shoot you up with l-dopa.

Fairly easy to do too.
I'm thinking the movie for 'Pong' might be a little more exciting. All those special effects and graphics would make an awesome movie.

Quite simply: When there is a contract.
