This seems to be counterintuitive. Bright lights cause pupils to contract, increasing the depth of field and reducing the work that the ciliary (focusing) muscles have to do. The more work these muscles have to do, the stronger they get and the more they flex the lens, keeping it pliable.
In times past, the best test for visual acuity was the ability to resolve double stars.
To add to all of this, NASA is taking on a large part of the responsibility for "systems integration" for SLS/Orion. This is where major cost overruns originate. And when Boeing has a cost plus contract, every requirements clarification NASA produces represents a change order Boeing can bill for.
This is the wet dream of every government contractor.
What will a locked secure boot loader (as opposed to one where UEFI can be switched off) do to the trade-in value for a used system?
Microsoft prohibited disabling UEFI Secure Boot on ARM devices back when Windows 8 support for them came out. And from what I have heard, this is one reason that old ARM hardware has a near zero value on the used equipment market. Meanwhile, x86 stuff still has a second life and some value.
Something to think about when selecting a Windows 10 system.
It's a play on the China Syndrome. If a reactor core were to melt straight through the earth from Fukushima, it would come out somewhere near Uruguay.
Of course, the China Syndrome is pure fiction and inaccurate as well. If a reatcor core melted straight through the earth from anywhere in the USA, it wouldn't come out anywhere near China. In fact, the Three Mile Island core would have come through very close to the final resting place of MH370.
It also works for the target demographic of the terrorist organizations' recruiting drives. People already in these groups will find a way around the blocks. But the advertising campaign is aimed at new recruits who are not yet motivated to set up routes around the blocks. That's why ISIS got their panties in a bunch over Twitter account suspensions. Not because they use Twitter internally, but that's how they reach out to kids.
And this is a really good reason to tread very carefully when blocking porn or other marginally acceptable sites. Once you get people to install and configure TOR, VPNs, etc. to visit such sites just for entertainment, it becomes much easier to just hop over to ISIS' dark network link.
... some vendor built a router or server up to the point of generating the public/private key pair, tested it, saved the image and started copying it to production units.
telling NASA they should turn a blind eye to the environment of our own planet is insanity.
Why? That's what NOAA is supposed to be doing. If I were elected philosopher-king of NASA, I'd be more then happy to tell the climatologists to take their politics next door. We'll be more then happy to put a satellite up for you. But that's about the extent of it.
And then there's the USGS. And a bunch of other agencies all poking and prodding the planet. It's really starting to look like everyone is having their funding held up pending the publication of a pro-AGW study. And that's a part of what makes the associated politics stink like hell.
Are you going to police China too? Russia? India? Pakistan?
You forgot Israel.
India, Pakistan and Israel are non-signatories of the NPT. Fine. If India and Pakistan want to point missiles at each other, that's their business. But if Israel won't sign and then they get their panties in a bunch over someone else getting the bomb, the most I think we owe them is STFU. Getting them to sign is the least I think we should expect in exchange for our political support.
What the courts stated was that corporations are just groups of people, and that they should not lose rights for simply being in a group.
I have no problem with that. I just don't like the idea of extending the limited financial liability of a corporation to other activities (possibly illegal) that groups of people might engage in.

Or at least go outside and masturbate.

If you want to discuss this with me further, I'll be staying in the garage for the next few weeks.
Does moss count?
France isn't part of NATO
Wut?
Without using the phrase "how hard can it be".
We prefer the term AI Complete.
My 35 year old car just looked back at me and said, "Dude! What?"

Hmm.....

Thank you, Slashdot!
Due to your inability to support HTML5 video properly, I didn't lose the minutes that others are complaining about.
"Space Yeast" ... I wonder if the loaf of bread made from it will be stretchy, invisible, turn into rock, or catch on fire?
Sentient.
This.
It took years for building and fire codes to overrule homeowners association rules that required wood shake roofs in high risk fire zones.
Popcorn.
Similar mistake have been made before.

I expect that an operator's manual might find its way out of a local police department and over to Wikileaks in the near future.

P240, P241. Whatever it takes.
It's right next to the one about corporations are people too. Courts just love to make stuff up.
How is it heated? What is the primary fuel source for its electricity?
They could save quite a bit of energy by moving somewhere with a warmer climate. Somalia comes to mind.
