No it would not. I would give you a false sense of security. That is an enormous area that is virtually uncontrolled at present. All you need is dozen infected people to wander into some major city at the border of the quarantine region and it's all over.
Nobody has enough military forces to cover that much ground.
Wave generators rely on bolting something down to the seafloor for stability and using the wave energy to push something back and forth. On a deep ocean drilling platform, you typically won't have the organized wave activity found on the coast where the slope of the seafloor guides the waves.
You still have the current (in some places)which could be used to drive a turbine but the big problem is that the energy density isn't all that high. That means you have to capture a wide area of wave or current. Which means big things. Big things in the ocean mean big costs, both in construction and maintenance. The ocean is a mean and nasty environment. WD-40 can only go so far.
It is this. EMAIL IS NOT SECURE. No matter who starts it or finishes it.
If you are using email to do anything but send words of affection to your legally bound, opposite sex, partner (or recipes to anyone), you're doing it wrong.
Its a simple bash command to fix this: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "['more_suggestions-amazon.scope', 'more_suggestions-u1ms.scope', 'more_suggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope', 'more_suggestions-ebay.scope', 'more_suggestions-ubuntushop.scope', 'more_suggestions-skimlinks.scope']"
Simple.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
It IS overblown. But then again, so is pretty much everything around here.
It IS important to render garments and gnash teeth over stuff like this. Else Apple (and others) will try this again. Besides, what else are we going to do here? Solve the major problems of the world?
Apple gets nailed because it's a walled garden and the user is insulated from making choices. Apple gets nailed because they didn't give the user a choice.
They just call global warming skeptics "deniers and "morons," because it's so much easier than trying to explain why why there's been no warming for 19 years, in violation of all global warming models.
Global warming is no longer theory, it's a religion, as well a mechanism for the transnational left to transfer power and money from individuals to national and transnational governments.
Global warming no longer has anything to do with science; it's a faith-based doctrine.
It most certainly is so much easier to call you a denier and a moron because we have gone over this little issue about 10E4 times and you still hold on to your infantile view of the process (study of short term temperature fluctuations either prove or invalidate anthropomorphic climate change (ACC)). The data behind ACC is robust and, unfortunately for you, complex.
IF you inadvertently live in a "danger" zone THEN you should plan on moving sometime in the next 200-300 years just to be safe.
If you are really risk adverse, change the eval period from 10k years to 100k years and relocate at least half the distance to your desired position in the next 50 years.
Ah, Mr. Long, glad to know you're on Slashdot. You should get an account, I'm sure you would entertain us with your meaningful and expressive comments.
Oh, you aren't trapped. You simply have failed to recognize this as a sign from St. Jobs that your tithing is becoming a bit stingy for a fine, upstanding member of the Cult of Apple.
Free yourself from your shackles! Bask in the Glorious Light of a Retina Display (on certain models), of towers that can be confused with an ashtray, of connectors used by no one else on the planet. Of operating systems with the lifespan of a midge fly.
Or, you can be doomed forever in the Pit of Financial Sobriety.
IIRC they were laser sintering some exhaust nozzles. So yes, it is a technology that can be added to our bag of Homo Industrialis tricks. No, it's not going to replace much in the manufacturing sector anytime soon.

He really needs to cut out the bath salts. That's nasty stuff - you can tell.
Not at all. That's because we don't have teams dedicated to study tropical diseases or virology or epidemics or anything like that ....
Nope. Go read this fine article.
It is quite a bit more complex.
Please do do not move.
Place your hands on the monitor.
The SWAT team will be at your door shortly.

Turns out that "War" is a bad descriptor. How about "Global Viral Change"?
No it would not. I would give you a false sense of security. That is an enormous area that is virtually uncontrolled at present. All you need is dozen infected people to wander into some major city at the border of the quarantine region and it's all over.

Just use the extra electricity to power giant air conditioners to counteract global warming.
See, that was easy. Just start thinking in terms of larger systems.
No, you just got all confused because of the Hocus Pocus sprouted by the OP.

On the Internet, nobody knows if you're a dog?
(Why do you know this?)
They fixed that little problem long ago. They flew for many years with the modified doors and hydraulic system.
You haven't complained about Unicode or beta recently.
Show me another MILF with an IQ of 80 who has inculcated herself as one of the highest paid cheerleaders of all time.
That's amazing.
It's also depressing, but you didn't ask about that.
Critical thinking skills aren't that hard to pick up on the side while you're earning a STEM degree ...
You must be new here.

Remember the bit about email being a postcard?

Pretty high flying if you ask me.

I suppose it sucks to be Apple.
All the way to the bank.
Yep, Robert Heinlein meets Barney.

I thought they already announced it. Even added a free cell phone radio!

The choice is yours. Upgrade or die.
