When I first heard of SSDs, there was a small company that most users seemed to really like and the customer service was pretty good, I bought one of their products and liked it. They were really pushing into the SSD space. Thinking that SSDs would catch on, I invested almost 100k into that company. Over time, customer service started to get worse, product quality declined, and eventually it was found out the fucking CEO was cooking the books and fled to Panama (he's currently under SEC investigation). So I lost all that money. Thanks OCZ. Even when 'right' about the technology catching on, regular people can't win in the market.
But that only uses up monitoring time/processing cyxles to decrypt ca videos. throwing in keyphrase like dirty bomb and random names from the top 10 most wanted terrorists would require follow up by real people, and once the volume of followup work was overwhelmingly large (not enough TLA analysts to keep up with it all), the entire effort would be pointless.
Someone should make an app that generates long messages of random terror-keywords and then spam these messages as email around to other users with the same app, some unencrypted, encrypting some of it with weak encryption, and some with strong encryption. This will make the signal to noise ratio too low for the government to effectively monitor electronic communications.
Everyone I know is using their fancy 1W+ to tap out morse code and binary versions of the voyager plaque at this part of the sky. Mfers going to think a disco hit them in 95 years!
Ratings and reviews of all sorts favor things with broad appeal, but those aren't necessarily the 'best'. I would love a rating method that points out the 'love it or hate it' place that has a bunch of 10/10 reviews but an average of 5/10 because half the people hate it. I may hate it too, but there's a chance I love it, and love it more than the 8/10 place that everyone really likes but no one says, oh wow, that changed my life.
One argument against driverless cars I often hear is that it will never happen because the liability is too great - ie. if someone ran over a baby in a Google car, Google would get sued into oblivion.
I think the obvious answer to this is that Google would insure all of it's cars. There is no doubt that driverless cars will be safer, so google could require that to use their driverless car you must have insurance through Google, at comparable rates to other insurance companies. Since Googles car's will be involved in far fewer accidents, the consumer will be paying the same, but Google will be paying out less, so for the odd freak accident, the higher payout due to 'oh nohs teh ebil Google killed my babby!' will be covered because of the lower rate of accidents.
Seriously, unless these earthquakes are causing damage, what's the issue with fracking causing earthquakes? It's interesting science I guess, but to suggest that it should impact energy policy? This study is for earthquakes M>3, when damage in the US isn't likely until M>5.
A lot of the resistance to the idea of automated vehicles is 'who is responsible if there is an accident'. If one ever does get in an incident, especially the first couple of times, I expect the payouts to be higher than for an equivalent human-caused incident.
I think it is easy to measure the safety performance of driverless cars, and I expect that it is better than regular drivers, and will improve. That means that insurance for driverless cars should be cheaper than for human drivers. So Google should offer to insure all their driverless vehicles, and because those vehicles are safer, they will come out ahead.
Just as heroin was developed to get soldiers off morphine, you need to get your friend on something stronger than pirates. The only thing stronger than pirates? Ninjas.
In my college chemistry class we were making some glassware, and after heating the glass in the bunsen burner until soft, I was ready to blow the shape I needed. Before raising the glass tube to my mouth, someone asked me a question, I answered, and in my distraction I lost track of which end of the tube I was going to blow on. Luckily when I put the hot end of the tube in my mouth the glass was so hot the Leidenfrost effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect saved me initially, and instant cauterization limited the damage. It hurt bad though, and I never made that mistake again!
If you have a google account and you have search history turned on, it will start personalizing your search results. The links you click on more will start coming up higher in the search results. You can view this in your account settings. Wikipedia has also crept up much higher for me. I compare my google results to my roomates computer for the exact same search, and wiki is always at the top for mine, but not for his.
If they develope a way to vote securely and legitimately online, why bother with representatives at all? At that point, let direct democracy rule, and let every person vote on every bill, law etc.
Yes CPT is through the school, but for a summer internship you can use CPT, and you can still be paid and get class credit at the same time. For example, I worked at a company this summer, got paid, and received class credit, using CPT. The university just creates a course called 'summer internship' and the requirements of the course are that you... do a summer internship. I still have 12 months of OPT. You are right that doing 12 months of CPT would remove the OPT, but since there are only 3 summers before you graduate, unless you have 4 month long summers, that is unlikely to happen.
No, the 3 month summer internships count as curricular practical training (CPT). In most cases, that does not take away from the 12 month optional practical training (OPT) that you receive after you graduate.

Its two guys arguing over whether the atari 400 supported 8kb, with copious references to pinout diagrams, memory adressing, and original users manuals cited from memory, for example,
"What Atari and everyone else found out was they could map 16kB directly from just the left cartridge slot. That made the right cart slot obsolete. Gee, on page 103 of Mapping the Atari, it says "It is possible to have 16K cartridges on the Atari by either combining both slots using two 8K cartridges or simply having one with large enough ROM chips and using one slot. In this case, the entire area from 32768 to 49151 ($8000 to $BFFF) would be used as cartridge ROM." And I thought this was self-explanatory"
I spent the first 50 years of my life recording, but now I decided to watch what I recorded... I'll be a hundred before I get to do anything except watch myself! But I'm just dying to see how it will end!
Foreigners can't really fill out FAFSA even for private student loans. I tried for example. It asked me what US taxes my parents filed. There is no option for 'none', even though my family does not live in the US and has thus never filed US taxes.
This is for the online version of the form, and it would not let me go to the next page without filling something in. I did not want to fill in incorrect information so I was never able to complete the form.
I have outside scholarships covering my tuition and expenses, so I am lucky in that I only missed out on a few thousand extra dollars spending money, not money I actually needed.
Our chemistry teacher let us put the photo developing stuff (AgN03?)on our skin to show us how it would stain black when we exposed it to the sunlight... he told us afterwards that it would take a good long time to come off.

No Gorgon ($55 billion) or Kashagan ($116 billion)? Oil megaprojects have already surpassed this
