Once they've finished throwing the book at this kid, someone ought to look at getting him into a decent technical school. Maybe, in a decade, he can replace the retarded engineers.
He's just as "retarded" as the engineers if he indeed did not stop to think of the consequences (derailing of trams) of his hack. Granted, it might well be that with a bit of proper training he'll pay much more attention to the effects of solutions, and end up being the better engineer.
I'm sure it's a pet fave of yours, but why might it be better for high school students who don't know much about engineering in the first place?
FIRST team do a new robot every year. Makes it easier for students to get in to. FIRST has the coordination for over a thousand teams to compete in roughly 40 regional competitions. FIRST robots are barely autonomous... generally the first 15 seconds of every game has been the autonomous mode. The rest is been teleoperated. FIRST provides teams with a starting kit for each year's robot, and standardizes key components, such as the motors. This fosters a community of sharing how-to info in using and troubleshooting most of the robot.
Ultimately, FIRST robots aren't very complex (though they can be for a team with a lot of support and organization). A bipedal soccer playing autonomous robot is a lot more complex of a project that I would have been willing to jump into in high school.
I personally found the Facebook group that sprung up supporting Stephen Colbert's presidential candidacy to be, mayhaps not strange, but certainly "rad," and a bit outrageous. It gained 1 million group members in under 10 days (and peaked at 1.5 million around the time that Colbert called it quits).
I admittedly skimmed your post. The part that stuck out at me was the fact that you dislike the downloads box, which I presume is the window listing downloads. I disabled that with said addon. As for the other problem, no idea:/
You can click and drag a webpage to the bookmarks toolbar... (though this functionality doesn't seem to exist in additional bookmark toolbars added by addons.)
I only learned this a few weeks ago as I was looking into the idea of an internship or similar in Germany along nuclear lines... It was a surprise of sorts.
I haven't actually read much about it other than wiki, and verifying it with some people in RL.
Germany does have the fact that currently the government is on track to phase out all of it's nuclear reactors within the next few decades. There are those who'd love to reverse that direction (and a couple of people in the US nuclear industry that I've talked to have said this reverse of policy is almost inevitable). There's certainly a source for bias. How strong? I don't personally know.
I'm not a beta player, and those people are/were under rather heavy NDAs, from what I hear. The demo of the game was released a few days ago, and *that* does indeed have ads in it. (I only noticed an NVidia ad)
I had multiple opportunities and experiences in early elementary school (mid 90s), but the only thing I remember about it these days is that the mascot was a turtle and drew stuff with commands that I could never remember. Nor do I know of anyone personally who would be likely to recall more than that.
In part, I got screwed over by most classes requiring new editions (and not being familiar with the fact that they rarely change much between editions).
I sell my books though, which nicely offsets what I shell out.
College books are not cheap, however. [/payed $450 this semester]
An alternative would be review guides such as those for AP tests. Those are far cheaper, though they may or may not explain the concepts. If it's review you seek, then a college textbook is overkill.
I use just a bluetooth mouse for my everyday computing.
My Logitech V270 occasionally stops working. The most efficient solution I've found has been to toggle my Dell laptop's bluetooth via the wireless hotkey (Fn + F2 for me), pause, turn off mouse, turn on bluetooth, pause, turn on mouse.
The fact that it occurs both with and without Logitech's Setpoint software indicates that it's either a hardware problem or bluetooth stack problem. And it's not just me, it's a common complaint on Logitech's forum that has gone unanswered.
I'm pretty sure that's not the first either, even though that article says the same thing: "First application in 30 years."
I attended a lecture (by someone from Westinghouse, I believe) through my school's nuclear engineering department in early 2007. One of the things shown in the presentation was a timetable of quite a few new reactors plans being prepared/applied for. It might well be that the application was the penultimate step (approval is last) on this timetable. Regardless, there is a lot of expansion of nuclear energy in the near future.
Here's hoping. Frequent restarts of things on my computer make me furious. I can't imagine why anyone would tolerate such things.
I tolerate it with an extension that provides a restart button on the toolbar. There are several such extensions. It's also useful for when one wants to quickly restart after installing/enabling/disabling an add-on/theme.
And of course, said extensions reload Firefox with the windows/tabs you had open.

Download Statusbar FTW.
(AKA I agree, and here's how I get around it)
Lightning might not be the best calendar utility out there, but why should NASA ban it completely?

Brings a tear to my eye.
Might I wager "aerial?"
Maybe these damn typos are intentional by submitters. It can't be that hard at all, seeing how lax the editors are.

It's not kilowatts per hour... it's kilowatt-hours.
Essentially, it's joules per hour instead of joules per second.
Oh no, a bit of legal costs!
What I love about this case is that the reimbursement was completely in line with damages. None of that hundreds of thousands of dollars (euros) crap.

Was it really that influential?

Apparently it's also equal to 5000 DVD-ROMs.

Any real nerd can measure data in CDs and DVDs. You fail

... but I went ahead and verified with a pixel color id program (ColorPix) that they are the same color.
This is not the first recent one.

That's one example.

Indeed, it's the fastest torrent I've ever had (avg. .5MB/s... Though I don't download much, and I don't tend download super-"popular" stuff.
What the hell kind of spelling mistake is that? A typo?
Link's details look very good to me. *shrug*
Damnit though, I'm a Firefox person.
The first time my eyes skimmed this, I thought I read that it had landed. Bummer. Biggest trial is still yet to come, imo.
