I am curious as to foundries radiating their wafers to shorten the life of their products.
I think you misunderstood the phrase "introduce recombination centers to kill the lifetime". The lifetime being referred to is the lifetime of excess electrons/holes. So it's about speeding the devices up, not about making them fail at some time in the future.
Going for any nib size other than 1.5 gives you the bizarre error message: "This product is no longer in stock with these options but is available with others with those attributes but is available with others".
As per Ask Slashdot tradition, I assert that every single one of the submitter's requirements is wrong, and he really needs one of these.
Yes, curiosity was cool, but it wasn't new. It wasn't groundbreaking research and technology.
Unlike Beagle 2? (I'm British so maybe I'm allowed to joke about this!)
If you are not inspired by spacecraft currently exploring Mercury, Mars, and Saturn, and spacecraft on the way to Pluto, Ceres and Jupiter, then you may be an expensive person to please.
The solution is to make you purchase your half pound of sugar in 3 cups. If making giving yourself diabetes slightly inconvenient is "government tyranny" then we probably need more of it.

Here's a great New Yorker article about why the law will probably work very well.
The James Web Space Telescope will also reside in the Earth-Moon L2 point, and AFAIK it will transmit data directly to Earth, so communication from/to L2 should not be an issue.
Great, I learn German. That'll help me for the one week of my life that I ever spend visiting in Germany. How is it going to help me in Japan, China, Mexico, Spain, Canada, France, Norway, Iceland, Russia, Sweden or any other place?
It would help you a lot. You'd have a better understanding of what it's like to get by in a country without anyone knowing your language. You'd be grateful when people speak their language slowly and clearly and try and help you. Best of all, you can relate much better to the Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Spanish, etc. people you meet in your own country.
There are other nice things too. You'd have the experience of the first joke you "get" in a foreign language. The fact that you understand it makes even the crappiest "knock, knock" joke awesomely funny. And for your example specifically: "No one who speaks German could be an evil man".
The calculation shows how long it might take to use up one eighth of the possible space. Our grandchildren can always change the policies at that stage. It depends what you mean by "efficiency", but it takes a lot of effort to run out when giving out/48s to end users and businesses.
No, it's a hallmark of the bored with too much free time. If you had an employee who spent most of their time recategorizing rather than coming up with something new, would you consider them intelligent? You'd probably think they were lazy or incompetent.
The implication here is that people just got bored and changed things, but really it's just like the planet-to-asteroid naming change in the 1800s. People find a new planet (Ceres/Pluto), and after a while find a whole lot of similar objects. You probably don't want to learn a whole lot of asteroid or KBO names.
Added to this, our notions of Pluto have gradually dwindled from a huge pitch-dark planet, able to perturb the mighty Neptune in its orbit, down to a small bright billiard ball with a gravitational pull only slightly bigger than that of yo' mama.
There are probably a handful of sites - Google, MSN, Facebook, etc - that practically all of those people will access. Why not ask those companies to post some information about how to check if you're infected and/or how to fix the infection? It seems like this thing could be fixed pretty easily if you had the biggest sites on the Internet on board.
People don't trust an email from "teh FBI" but they sure as hell trust what comes up on the Google or Facebook home page.
Or is it unthinkable to ask the biggest players on the Internet to be good net citizens and help out a little bit for the good of everybody?
I say, old bean, this isn't a British word at all. Some American chappie called David X. Cohen came up with this word for "The Simpsons", which is apparently a very popular animated show.
What are the two factors that make telephone companies stupid, evil and bureaucratic? Billing and regulation. With Facebook, Gmail, Flickr, etc., we've lucked into a world with no billing (advertising pays), and not too much regulation.
snydeq's proposal seems to open the way to a world where the money flow takes on a life of its own (huge departments keeping track of who gets what), with an inevitable regulatory tidal wave sweeping in soon after the first agreement is signed.
What would be scary is how little I may be valued. I'm not buying a car soon, I can't drink alcohol, and I am socially inept with zero spending on Cialis. It seems like the MLB should stop me watching the World Series for free.
- the value of gold is stable, and the goods priced in gold are either keeping their price or their prices are falling
You avoided the question about the 1980s. Someone who bought 1oz of gold for 850USD in 1980 and sold it for 300USD in 2000 could look at the cost of candy bars or Big Macs and would not ascribe gold's price decrease to massive dollar deflation in that period. There had been a speculative increase in the gold price prior to 1980 and this graph suggests that the same thing is happening again. Perhaps "irrational exuberance" on the part of gold buyers?
When cycling home I was passed by a driver texting on her phone. A few hundred yards later there was an intersection with a long red light and I asked her to keep her eyes on the road. She carried on texting and had to make an effort to look up every so often to check if the light was still red. Presumably she was texting "lol cyclist tld me to stp". It seemed like an accident waiting to happen.

Because the little thing was bored and thus well on its way to nerd status (if not already there).
Worst trimester ever!
But of course!

Popularize is the meaning the GP probably intended (I hope!).

No, the James Webb Space Telescope will be at the Earth-Sun L2 point.
Google also sometimes cannot find things that I am pretty sure should be easy to find.

I totally agree. The adafruit site is a very good place to get ideas, and there are some great Adafruit videos on YouTube.
PS: "Getting Started with Arduino", by Massimo Banzi is very good for people with less experience, though this doesn't apply to the poster's friend.
Come to think of it, I don't really think IPv6 is going to fare any better if efficiency is not enforced.
The short answer is we have 16 billion billion networks (with many hosts on each), compared to 4 billion unique host addresses.
The longer answer (from someone at HE who has done the math): http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2012-July/050298.html

Inflammable and non-inflammable are correct. Flammable and non-flammable are incorrect.
The only thing worse than a negative is negating a negative. My feeble mind is only capable of processing "non-inflammable" on the slow path.
Hi, Dr Nick!
Inflammable means "capable of being inflamed" (i.e. to be set on fire). It's not a negative.
"reefmadness" and "nocrustaceannocry" are great tags. Thank you someone out there!

That's hardly a story to inspire one to something more repairable, which also means self-dissabemly is more possible also by the device when dropped.
Did you reassemble this sentence after dropping it on the floor?

Correction. I see that you did answer the question about the 1980s. Paul Volcker had more influence than "intrinsic value" for a couple of decades.
