Since one of the drawbacks to wind power is variability, would there be any advantage to using electrical heating in place of solar for these CO (or H2) generators? Maybe to smooth out electrical production peaks? I've heard of electrolysis being proposed as a way of collecting and storing wind power, but would this be competitive?
A lot of Americans might not realize Canada is a separate country. All it would take to start a conflict is for someone to claim Canada is breaking away. Half the US would figure if we went to war to prevent the Confederacy from leaving, we should do the same with Canada.
I can remember as a little kid in the 70's, sitting in the back of the car in traffic on LA freeways with lots of time to look around, noticing that the traffic jam moved like a wave, but backwards. The first time I heard it was true was around the time of the article you linked (can't remember the source). It was really cool learning why it happened, solving one of the great mysteries of life to me.
But in practice, wrong. Transparency should be maximized, with the recognition it can't be 100%. The government has your tax records, it playing with the data, but I'd be reluctant to say that your tax records should be public. Same with nuclear launch codes and all sorts of other stuff that might be better kept confidential. Now your point was more about what they are doing, not information. But the distinction could be blurred.
Is there a good definition of what should be confidential and how to keep the line from getting moved inappropriately or blurred. Probably not. But we should at least recognize there is a line.
Good post, but I do have to laugh at a bit of irony. It seems that for proof that this isn't discussed on Slashdot, you put it on Slashdot.
Then again, I wouldn't call this anti-government. Facts don't have perspective and aren't anti anything. So maybe the irony is it isn't ironic? Ah, my head is spinning.
Yes, but sit back and enjoy as everyone talks about monopolies, lack of competition, etc. As I understand it, the law actually does the opposite. Now the phone company can start to roll out tv services. Yes, there is a plan by some to use this law to do just that.
For one answer, lets look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb972745.aspx
Next to nothing there. No surprise. They talk about updates offering improvements, then say SP1 is another mechanism. Meaning not the same as the updates? Recent reports say performance and compatibility aren't part of the mix, so we can hope it's reliability. Oh yeah, and hardware. Ok, they address customer feedback, but they don't say they made improvements, just addressed them. "Yes, I understand your pain. But we're a monopoly so too bad" is addressing a problem.
I would try to take that a little bit more literally. Until they know what it means, they are only suggesting it could be an environment change. Maybe more evidence supporting global warming, maybe even against, maybe something we humans are entirely unaware of. Effect from ozone layer, who knows. Or it might just be a normal phenomena. That's what scientists do: figure this stuff out. Until then, your tirade towards these guys is a bit premature.
Are you saying that these are talents jews have, including yourself and Jesus? Cool! By converting to judaism, can others get these talents, or does it only pass from the mother? Right now all I can do is turn wine into water. That's what I love about diversity: you get to learn all sorts of interesting things about other cultures and races. I wonder what other powers people are keeping secret...
I think the code to be most proud of is when it's written to work with limited resources. Who isn't impressed by the assembly coders who crammed fast, fully functioning programs into some minuscule space? Sadly, fast processors and gobs of memory have made things too easy. Now you don't have to think several steps ahead. It's still possible to be proud of inventing new algorithms (i.e. shaders, bittorrent, etc). But the programs themselves are much more pedestrian.
Surviving the kick is kind of cool. But I'll be really impressed when it can avoid the kick. When that day comes, I sincerely hope they top it off by having the robot hurl insults back. "Too slow, loser!"
Decrying the use of punctuation in weird looking ways on Slashdot is kind of ironic. I'd wager that the semicolon key on half the Slashdot readers keyboards is faded either from programing or chat room emoticons.
Fair enough point about the booze. Family history there has made me very cautious about drinking irrespective of any other substance abuse. But that same family history reflects empirical data that most folks like to ignore: The correlation between alcohol and drugs is smaller than the correlation between pot and other drugs.
Don't get me wrong, I actually don't think alcohol or weed are in and of themselves that bad. I can even support decriminalization (as opposed to legalization) in some circumstances. I just don't buy the "legalize drugs and problems will go away" argument for specific reasons. I find it interesting that promoting legalizing is noted as insightful, but someone noting a specific personal counterexample is called flamebait. I wonder if it was from calling bullshit on a popular concept or potentially tarnishing the reputation of potheads....

Or even more better: Hillary is actually a Republican. Best way to make sure a Republican wins is to have both presidential candidates be Republican.
Because they can charge more for delivering the same thing.
So you're asking what percentage of idiots are stupid? I'd guess there's a good correlation there.

Mach 6 is closer to 4,000 mph (at around 100,000 ft) http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/atmosphere/q0112.shtml

If you figure out how to define them, you probably aren't human. Or seriously mistaken and about to be told so in detail.
The rules for right-of-way at a triangle are obtusely specified in drivers manuals that I've seen.
One of those standards being light. It seems like most standards, it was interpreted in incompatible ways to create incompatible flashing lights.
As big as it was, it still kept saying the answer was 1.05. Luckily the solution scales well.

I think it falls under the "It's my ball, and I'm going home" set of rules.

You joke, but chances are some scientist will think to check the iron content of various parts of the fossil for just that answer.
Don't know about the DNA, but the collagen from a T. Rex was similar to chicken. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/04/070412-dino-tissues.html
