Let's see, 4/3 times pi times 75' cubed... 1,767,146 cubic feet of asteroid. At 62.42 pounds per cubic foot at STP, that much water would weigh 110,305,245 pounds. The asteroid density is probably considerably higher.
But even if it isn't, anything weighing 110 million pounds, hitting the Earth at 26 MPH, would saturate pretty much every seismograph on the planet. Sure, some of the material will burn off in the atmosphere, but Earth's gravity will compensate for the lost mass via acceleration.
The GPL only requires that you make available the original source, and your changes to it, to anyone who receives the executable form from you, and you must make them available without restriction as to how they are used. If you don't publish the executable, there is no requirement to publish source and changes.
"An outside observer"? That would explain how you presume to sit there in judgment of us who have to live with the Community Organizer's capricious policies, foisted upon us by his choicest advisers who have never had private-sector jobs in their lives. The inconsistency of those policies is clearly not leading us out of the tar pits, but rather burying us in them even more.
That is not what he said, and I doubt it's what he meant. With the OtherOS option, there was a lot less need/desire to crack it. Once Sony started assuming their customers were criminals, that's when everything went to hell.
Yes it is. The 2 data lines carry the same bits, using opposite voltages to minimize EMF interference, both outgoing and incoming. Logically, it's still only one bit at a time. Find the connector diagrams to see how that works.
It all comes down to the perception of a "hostile work environment". Notice I used the term perception, because it isn't about what someone actually does, it's about how it makes someone else feel.
So if some women's studies minor takes offense at a memo a guy wrote about how to date a geek-grrl, that guy had better be prepared with a swift, logical, and pointed defense. Otherwise, he's guilty until proven innocent.
The First Sale Doctrine has been revoked. Sure, some may claim it was "only" for DVD's, but unless there is some push-back in the courts very soon, companies will expand it to cover, oh, pretty much every gadget in your life.
What Intel did was find the maximum spec at which a chip WOULD work, then sell it as the next spec down (to add some extra margin of error). The practice on Intel chips first came to public awareness with 80386SX vs DX (16- or 32-bit) and i486 SX vs DX (FPU disabled or enabled).
If you want the pocket knife with a built-in compass, pay for the one that has a compass in it.
Uh, he did. The problem is that the compass is covered with opaque plastic, with a little note on it: "If you wish to have this cover removed, please contact your retailer for price quote."
If you want a car analogy: This is like a car that advertises for $22,000, but won't go over 35 MPH unless you pay an additional $3,000 to have the dealer install a jumper across two contacts on the car's on-board computer.
If you're concerned about Google eavesdropping on your browsing habits, you might try the SRWare Iron browser instead. It's Chrome minus the snooping built-ins.
In 1998, I bought a second-hand Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom for US$10. The gameplay and graphics quality were fantastic, and I was particularly impressed with the producers' investment in the game.
But there was one thing I couldn't get past: the warzone aspect. At the time, a dear friend of mine was in the Bosnia combat zone, and every time I tried to play WC4, I couldn't help but think about her and what she was experiencing. I wanted to enjoy WC4, honestly, but after about 5 minutes I just couldn't, knowing that my friend was in mortal danger for real. It got to the point that I ejected the CD, wrote off the $10 as a bad investment, and flung it across the room.
In the hands of a skilled person, including a skilled spy, anything can be useful for any purpose. Even a common orange has its place in a spy's toolkit. Do you really think that's chewing gum in his mouth?
Every tool has uses that conformists never ponder. Critical thinkers are already ahead of the curve of every government. Of course, no government is willing to admit it (out loud).
The radius of a silicon atom is 111 to 210 picometers, depending on the measurement context. (Check Wikipedia to see what I mean.) That means 5nm is somewhere between 23 and 45 silicon atoms wide.
True enough, but coal is hardly the only source of electricity. Natural gas, water, windmill, solar, and nuclear are also on the grid, and of those, only natural gas puts out CO2.
The real measure of a car's operating cost (even taking into account CO2 emissions--more on that in a bit) is the cost per mile. However, since that is usually in the too-small-to-be-meaningful range, let's assume a typical fill-up, or charge-up, will take a car 400 miles tops. That seems to be the typical range the engineers design a tank for.
(Side note: I'm not counting driver's insurance, since that cost is incurred before a driving pattern can be observed. Life's surprises can alter those calculations too much for my purposes here.)
Okay, my Taurus gets about 25 miles per gallon. A low-ball gas price around here is US$2.50/gal. Figuring that (cost per gal)/(miles per gal) gives cost per mile, that means it costs about $0.10 per mile. Over 400 miles, that's $40. Therefore, the fuel cost per 400 miles is (cost per gal) * 16.
My last car was a Honda Civic CRX, that got 42 mpg typically. Its fuel cost per 400 miles came to roughly (cost per gal) * 9.5.
Now, take a look at an electric car. My current cost for electricity is $0.06/kWh. To cost the same $40 as gasoline at $2.50/gal, and get the same 400 miles (giving the same $0.10 cost per mile), the car would need to consume 667 kWh.
The Chevy Volt's charge-per-distance figures come in at 25 kWh/100 miles. At $0.06/kWh, 400 miles would cost $6.00.
Once you find a place to plug it in. And assuming you never go farther than 40 miles between charges.
I said I would consider the CO2 emissions, and I will. The fact is, the central generation points are better maintained, and much more efficient, than the millions of vehicles' emission points. Putting those millions of vehicles onto the grid would do wonders for reducing CO2 emission.
The judge knows full well, if he authorizes a fishing expedition against Michael Mann, he'll have the wrath of the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, et al., directed against him, with the full complicity of the current administration, especially after they worked so hard to ignore the story, or bury it as deep as possible. After all, we can't allow facts to interfere with such a ripe target for government intervention, can we? Never mind so many other such expeditions which were cheered by the Fifth Column journos, when their enemies were the ones being investigated.

Mine would fit on a 16G flash drive.
If JPL didn't care about who a job candidate slept with 20 years ago, that job candidate would be a lot less likely to become a blackmail target.

Not the contents of the leak, but simply calling it a "leak". Releasing this information is probably deliberate, not inadvertent.
It's a tried-and-true way to generate buzz, and it's been around a lot longer than Twitter and Facebook.

I can explain it in two words: Nuclear Iran. Russia has been instrumental in making that happen.
How "naimina" fits into that, I don't know.
