The DHS had the authority to hold the boat the minute it arrived on US soil, for customs clearance. That's why Arrington had to sign the paperwork: to get it released.
The next consideration is "What is real? What is happening?" For NASA Langley, the epiphany moment on LENR was the publication of the Widom-Larsen Weak Interaction LENR Theory. It is currently under study and experimental verification (or not) at Langley.
Yet their crap has never been foreshadowed by explicit comments to the contrary. If there's one thing that Sony is good at, it's ensuring that ideas that go against the customer's interest are a surprise to the customer.
I have a hypothesis that NASA's at a disadvantage because the components of any manned mission have to be reusable parts of a larger-scale human space exploration strategy. They could go to the moon relatively easily back in the '60s because there was no "after Apollo". If the objective at the time had been to establish a permanent station orbiting Earth, then go to the moon, then establish a moon base etc. etc. then I dare say it would've taken longer to achieve any one step.
Put another way, it's easier to climb a mountain than establish a home there.
Fortunately it's not a race and I'd happily see NASA work on the longer-term stuff and let other people get the "firsts".
No doubt "online codes" will continue into the next gen. In hindisight it's obvious that Sony's patent was about removing the code-entry step in favour of just ticking a box.
The context is, "if you buy a physical copy of a game, you expect it to work in whatever console you put it into", to which their answer was in the affirmative.
It's clear that the PS4 is aimed at addressing many of the disadvantages of downloaded games (streaming full games to try them out, being able to play games before they finish downloading, etc.). If you can get people predominantly downloading games you obviate the second-hand games problem.
(But not reselling digital games, although Valve's legal team are hard at work to hobble that.)
It's a reaction and a purported mechanism that have been floating around in cold fusion circles for quite a while. It shouldn't be surprising that scam artists, deluded tinkerers, or serious researchers have all considered it.
If that's accurate then either he's putting it forward as an "earliest possible" estimate to build hype, or he sorely overestimates people's ability to put up with bare minimum living conditions.
I do not think that the crew would be psychologically capable of performing mission-critical functions outside of the first month. Spam in a can.
Batteries generate current, this reaction generates heat, so you couldn't use them directly. Although it would certainly be convenient to just charge up a bunch of old NiMH cells, then use them as "fuel rods".
They also know that if you have to write down the name you're more likely to remember the brand. There's a lot of research right now in working around people's wonderful capacity to tune out commercials.
(I think I saw a Microsoft patent for Kinect-based ads where you could skip the ad, but only by saying the product's name (or whatever).)
Yes, NASA Langley Research Centre, those famous cranks. While I really don't think it's true, it's certainly newsworthy that a NASA group of all people are proposing it.
Yes, I'd be up for a No-Holds-Barred Man's Hubris Wrestling Championship. Especially the tag team rounds. Can a polar bear and a brown bear set aside their infamous salmon grudge to take down The Undertaker?!
DO NOT eat the booster. The signal is too clear. So clear. Too clear. I lost mine in a bag of chips and I didn't realise I had swallowed it until I started communing with other people's body thetans.
Many people use the analogue leads to hook the console up to a stereo system or headphones that don't have an optical socket. I think Sony's been shipping HDMI cables in the box for a while now.
Don't get your hopes up, while they're PC components it's a console architecture, and it'd take quite some wrangling to get PC applications (even games) running on it. PC games expect to have seperate graphics and main RAM for instance.
For the same reason that the world MMA champion doesn't go around picking fights with enraged crocodiles: being the best of your species doesn't mean you're invincible. In this case, you want to avoid surface to air missiles.

The DHS had the authority to hold the boat the minute it arrived on US soil, for customs clearance. That's why Arrington had to sign the paperwork: to get it released.
And if the customs agent doesn't have the authority to amend the paperwork then and there, what happens?
It sounds like the boat was already being held, and simply wasn't released.
Wouldn't they just ship nickel hydride in bulk?
(It's just a shame this doesn't actually work.)
Actually, if you read the source articles:

Because it doesn't follow from "Sony did this bad thing once" that "the malevolent theory I have about Sony is true".
The context is, "if you buy a physical copy of a game, you expect it to work in whatever console you put it into", to which their answer was in the affirmative.
How do you remove not blocking second hand games? How do you retroactively make a conventional Blu-Ray disk turn into one where resale is prohibited?

What happens when you decide to visit the Great Lakes? You break out the SCUBA gear?

What a wonderful counterpoint to the article. If I had mod points I would give them to you.

Or go to Europe, where phone unlocking is almost without exception available from your own network provider for a token fee.
