Or you haven't been keeping up. According to various sources (so who really knows), the drone is supposed to go to level flight if it loses control signals, try to figure out where home is and then fly back.
In any event, it's supposed to try to land safely as opposed to destruct or crash. That may have allowed Iranians / Talibans / Islamic Aliens to find the plane, put it on a truck and and make all manner of manly tales of derring do surround it's capture.
I would imagine that folks are re thinking the logic of letting it stay in one piece after control is lost.
Roughly the same cost as an F-15. Cheaper than an F-22 (around 200 million a pop depending on how you count things) and about what a hit movie brings in on midnight showings. (Just for some perspective).
China is one of the largest CO2 polluters in the world. Traveling wave reactors are known to be incredibly clean and safe. If you give the Chinese abundant safe and clean energy, this is going to really help the global warming problem.
Traveling wave reactors aren't known to be anything. No one has built one.
Don't count your little Godzillas until they've hatched.
Well if you want to put the situation into perspective, Voyager one has been going on for 34 years and has YET to leave the solar system. Another 10 years and it will find itself on the threshold of interstellar space. And then no more power it will go dead. Think about it, 47 years in space and it will barely have reached the begining of interstellar space. Half the lifetime of a human being (more or less) and our fastest spacecraft is still right by our home. If this doesn't drive home just how far we are from really reaching into space nothing will.
"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..." (HHGG)
TFAuthors didn't think so. The logic being that these sticks would more likely end up in the dump than on somebody elses computer and that the malware on the sticks was 'generic zombie stuff' (zombies are generic these days?).
Not a particularly tight argument, but there you have it.....
Chain shot damages sails primarily, you need grape shot to damage the opponent's crew. Yes, I do get all my historical knowledge from Sid Meier games, why do you ask?
Just depends on how you aim the cannon. A pair of 3 pound iron balls connected to two feet of iron chain moving a couple of hundred feet per second hitting your person will likely make your day go downhill very fast. But chain was primarily used to disable the ship. Disabling humans was a happy secondary effect.
I do research in textual web mining and from time to time I have other researchers ask me for my collections which I spider myself from copyrighted web sources. While my work is purely academic, I am covered by fair use. But since US intellectual property laws are obtuse and overbearing (imho), I cannot take the risk of sharing my collections with others for fear of running afoul of copyright law (since I can't control what is done with the collection once it is out of my hands and how do I know they would use it in a manner consistent with fair use). So it may be more than an unwillingness out of statistical fudging and more an unwillingness to become a target of copyright lawyers.
Why would that be an issue? The onus would be on the people you share the data with it do keep it in the fair use domain. An analogy would be a professor quoting some copyrighted text in a syllabus and then saying she couldn't give a copy of the syllabus to another professor (or student) because she can't control what they do with it.
It is very difficult to make a man understand something when his job depends on not understanding it. If psychology research were made to adhere to any kind of stringent scientific standard, there would be no psychology research.
Sounds like you have some issues with authority. Would you like to discuss it?
Philistine. Some of us have memories. Motor memories of good keyboards. Computers and keyboards that were sturdy enough to use as defensive weapons. Batteries available anywhere.
This. An updated 100, call it a Model 1000. The same keyboard (perhaps a little quieter - I don't have any of those little rubber bands they use on braces anymore). Maybe a bit more screen and of course modern communications gear. Use AA's. It can be about the same size, perhaps a little thinner but not much.
Use if for text. Text. Text. Not everything else on the planet.
Of course, it would never fly - there would be too much pressure to make it another iPad / netbook and they would ruin the utility of it for text input.
Still have mine. Have to put some batteries in it one day and see if it fires up. 300 Baud. College girls. Ah, the memories.
You and I will walk down the street. You have your netbook, I'll have an iPad. Then we'll time who can check their stocks and email, or pull up the local map for directions the quickest. Perhaps we'll watch some videos.
And I'm driving my 3/4 ton pickup. You're both toast.
Nah, that laptop doesn't look at all like a MBP - the power button has a blue LED. Jobs would have never let them do that. White or green maybe but not blue.
(Actually does look exactly like a black keyboard MBP otherwise).
Design Patent is more like copyright then a 'real' patent.
You have to copy pretty much everything to get into trouble. And that Samsung did. They could have used a rectangular case with rounded corners, a dark black bezel with two silver or tastefully grey lines running through the bezel and put the speakers on the side - they would have been fine.
Greenpeace will never be satisfied until the all energy resources are eliminated.
That would shut them up. But Greenpeace does occasionally make valid points. If a bunch of leftist yahoo girls can breach reactor security, then somebody is doing something very, very wrong.
Yes, nuclear power can be done safely and maybe even economically. No, it doesn't look like anybody but the US Navy is actually doing it right.
That is the big problem with nuclear power. It COULD be done safely. It hasn't been and likely won't be because it's expensive.

And this is why Microsoft is the winner in the Enterprise space. Enterprise customers like consistency.
Those are quite small improvements. Not enough to warrant a new version. Maybe microsoft is following firefox's version numbering for windows?
They could number the next version of Windows with a 98 - that would put them in front of Firefox AND Google and Apple combined!
Can we have a contest for what the 'badge' looks like?
Please?
In other news.
A new release of Windows is going to be released later than originally planned.
This is really turning out to be a slow news day, isn't it?
You seem kinda riled up about this. Like you actually did buy an IDC report once ...
That wasn't a cannonball. That was one of my testicles.
Ouch! My Balls!

Their premiums are definitely going to go up after this accident.
And perhaps a few extra clauses like "no more cannons".
Until Apple patents their own "iSpear". Unfortunately for them, they won't be very effective as the spear tips will have rounded edges.
You just have to hold them correctly.

Just don't believe anything.

How does lack of adornment qualify as an identifying mark?
You don't, by any chance, happen to develop TV remotes, do you?

Gotta give Greenpeace credit for having balls.
Ever been to a Greenpeace function? Most of them don't. **
