...or... quantum computing?!... or... Getting software developers to cut the bloat-ware BS and get serious about EFFICIENT, bug-free, secure apps, that allow faster performance?!
I can think of a few features that you could use! Yet, since you are among the very few that need them, I'll just suggest you go looking for the plugins!
Oh, and something else (likely already being considered): It seems that any brute-force launch from an asteroid could change it's orbit. Let's hope we are smart enough to accurately determine when and where to hit the launch button!
Considering the presumed way that asteroids formed, it seems unlikely that veins of anything formed in them. The veins of precious and rare metals here on earth happened, primarily, as a result of our molten core. Asteroids, in general, lack such a hi-temp oven, or strong gravity, to allow metals to coagulate into veins. HOWEVER, the detector seems it'd be a great tool to have - in general. Go team go!
For those that cannot see the point: It seems that MOST folks would immediately nuke all ISIS they can find. That MIGHT work - if we could be sure we get them all. Yet, we are likely not going to get them all, and may in fact 'feed the fire' and cause more factions against (us). It may be that ISIS are people too, that MAY be misled or misguided. There is more than one way to eradicate a deadly disease besides all-out mass violence.
Mr. Kimmel is actually correct: ISIS is NOT necessarily evil; albeit it certainly seems they do relatively evil things - from OUR perspective. ANY intelligent human can see that Mr. Kimmel's remark reflects that understanding the deeper MO of ISIS as being reactionary for their cause seems an important consideration in getting to an effective mitigation for ultimately ending the violence. I get nearly nowhere when I yell at my subordinates (i.e. proverbially cut off their heads). I get MUCH further when I take the time to understand my subordinates' mistake and work to show them a more effective and mutually beneficial resolution (i.e. explain the part they apparently misunderstood). (I guess I am luck that I have friends that do this for me!)
"Leaving" for the (stars) seems to be an issue related to both biological and robotic astronauts. It is the logistics of the actual travel that is concerning - food, environmental needs, psychology, physiology,... Robots eat very little, seldom complain or get emotional, can tolerate wider temperature fluctuations, can tolerate little to no atmosphere, can tolerate higher levels of radiation, can go longer without exercise, create less waste (poop and pee), and likely live longer. Further, it seems that with the ever-increasing improvements in battery technology, recharging via solar or other means would potentially extend a robots' reach much further than mortal men. Meanwhile, we can work on: 1st) FTL communications to communicate with those robots in a more timely manner; and 2nd) FTL transportation technologies so we can get there and back quicker!
GOOD ONE - I like it! BTW: Do I need permission to quote you and/or the parent comment for this reply?! Or, will you be pursuing a copyright suit against me?
Further: It is possible for cloud companies to cooperate with government requests for info, where your own servers COULD be configured to protect against that. It is prudent to never trust any cloud service with sacred data!
I just moved from an address where I was finally getting a handle on the junk mail is was getting. It had been a nightmare! Junk mail would find it's way into my mailbox yet the truly important stuff would get lost or delayed! Perhaps this is a result of the specific postal office for that address - bad local management, et al...
HOWEVER - since I invoked permanent forwarding to my new address, I am getting deluged with junk mail again! Obviously, the default is for the USPS to opt-in my 'new' address to every junk mail service they can sell my address to. I vehemently object! I want a say in that! The default SHOULD be to be opt-ed out, with a option to opt-in when I file for the forwarding. Does this not seem like the sensible, logical thing to do 'by the people, for the people'? As opposed to 'by non-human entities, too the people'!
My point is that privacy has been abused ever since constitutional rights have been getting abused. And now it is merely standard practice. It is now up to you, the individual, to protect your self; because our corporate government is failing to do so.
Seems scary to consider that if, in fact, (we) may be wrong about global warming, i.e. polar ice is not doing what is forecast; then we ought to just plain stop messing with stuff. What's confusing are the conflicting data. How can we voting lay-persons make any decisions when the data are potentially invalid? Man-oh-man! Let's get it together, people. I bust my ass to be sure things are correct! How about ALL the other "qualified" reporting scientists do the same?!
Like (nearly) all biz plans, the goal is to keep increasing revenue for the company. This is just another cog in that machine that Apple wants to take advantage of. Whether it is a good thing or not is relative, and debatable.
What my neighbor likes or dislikes, may not necessarily coincide with my preferences. I have seen panned movies that were great, and highly rated movies sucked. If the ratings system in place now were less subjective, rather than objective (with the object being to accurately reflect quality of the acting, directing, writing (and storyline), and editing), I might lend some credence to a rating. Even so, ratings can mislead. How about replacing ratings with ACCURATE TRAILERS!
Well, yeeeaaahhh! And, Microsoft should be held accountable, and PAY for repairs! If this were enforced, it is very likely these "mistakes" would not occur!
i.e. If WE the people allow corporations to make "mistakes" w/o repercussions, then WE the people get what we deserve! I'd rather not be one of these peoples!
Relative to cleaner electric vehicles, it is apparently hard to build clean fossil fuel vehicles. Thus, society has even more reason to migrate to electric. DUH!

Consider that there is another article in this very Slashdot digest about an Alzheimer's drug that has anti-aging effects!
Agreed - never say never! A child that hasn't been taught that it cannot be done usually figures out a way!

Have the guards spot and shoot any drones they see! It's target practice. I shoot any near my castle!

Isn't that the inverse thing: DOT Road Crew work harder the harder (brighter) you watch them!

Hey. If "suggesting something for you to buy" is not advertising, then killing an idiot is NOT murder, yet merely cleaning the gene pool! RIGHT?!
