Isn't there a big empty space down the left side of most pages? What is the difference between it being blank or there being an advertisement there.
I'll bet you have a Google branded plush pony in your bed and the shirt you're wearing says either 'Izod' or 'Brawndo".
It's annoying, that's what. Even the modest, quiet, well bred Google ads of distant history are annoying. Blank space is a critically important design concept as well.
Yes, advertising can be done such that it's minimally invasive, but it's invasive nonetheless.
That's what I'd like to know. I had no idea one could eat bone. Is it ground to a powder first, and then water added? Sounds like a good way to get lots of calcium.
The phone system has one enormous advantage - person to person contact (as opposed to point to point). If you're out on a ship in the middle of the ocean, you can use an HF radio to contact someone almost anywhere in the world. Sometimes. However, both parties have to have similar equipment which requires a modicum of training to use. The 'old' way was marine mobile radio - you contact a marine operator via HF radio and they patched you into the phone system. That was still expensive, didn't always work and not very private.
The Inmarsat (Warning - Stupid Flash site) system works pretty well and has taken over marine mobile communications. It's still rather expensive but people running boats are used to that. Remember the usual working analogy to sailing - standing in a cold shower ripping up hundred dollar bills. If you're financial case is built on people like that, you're halfway there without lifting a finger.
Or perhaps most of Alaska and the pristine, beery vastness of Canada. If you take the entire North American continent, the area of land without cell phone coverage likely exceeds the covered area. The big difference is going to be human population density.
But there's a lot of land out there that is covered with trees, desert and critters and without a cell tower in hundreds of square miles.
They have them. But they're big and clunky. They're typically tied to one carrier and if you're the kind of person that, for example, goes all over the place - cell phones have issues. It isn't a seamless solution.
The people doing the satellite phones should just stick up some cell phone masts in signal black spots and offer to rent service to all the other networks.
The vast majority of Alaska and Northern Canada would like to have a little chat with you.
Amateur radio operators use this as well as other forms of ionosphere bouncing. But meteor burst ground stations typically require some heft, at least a 2 - 3 foot antenna and a 12 V battery. The whole idea with sat phones is you have something smaller that isn't as fiddly as a typical long distance radio setup. Hell, you could just use HAM radio if you just want to talk to somebody in particular.
I once took out most of the internal network of a major hospital by innocently tugging on some duct tape while waiting for a Novel server to reboot. But I think we're not supposed to talk about those sorts of 'solutions'.
Yes, however it still suffers from the same issue as most of the other 'gene' or 'cell' therapies for diabetes: You are using someone or something elses insulin producing cells to make insulin.
That means that your immune system isn't going to like it much. What one needs is a system that takes your very own testicular cells and creates beta (insulin secreting) cells. I'm sure that's what they're trying to get at but I detect a potential problem with the practical application of the technology.
Whoever is playing around with our minds, I would really appreciate if you would stop. Nearly 96 hours after it hits YouTube and not more than a couple of tweets about a DVD / high def torrent / whathaveyou.
It isn't polite to do that. It's not nice. Have you no shame?
Been there, done that. I heard them talk about it, but I don't see a place on the screen where I can call with my VISA card. One of those places where OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY.
According to TFA (which I just read) it WAS part of policy (after a bunch of worms) then it got dropped because it was hard to move data around (duh) and now it's back again with the acknowledgment that it's going to be harder to move data around. (duh).
So I still don't get it - somebody finds something on SIPRNET. The copy it to a USB drive and give it to somebody else off the secured network, then plug it back into the 'secured' network again next week when the newest bunch of porn shows up? Sounds most secure.
Maybe they just ought tweet everything. At least the 140 character limit should slow people down a bit.
The current technology allows anybody with a couple of grand and a fair bit of time build fairly complex stuff. The major impediment is a rather limited set of materials that are 'easy' to work with. Using other materials (like Stainless Steel) takes much more work).
I don't think you will see devices that can scan a complex object and then 'print it out' without much in the way of user knowledge and intervention. The actual machining aspect is only a small part of this. For your application, there are a bunch of devices that can do the job today. Heck, you can even upload your designs to a number of small run fab shops for very reasonable prices.
Extruder technology is going to be limited to stuff that you can melt or liquify. I doubt anybody has extrudable aluminum as of yet.
1. Find the 3D representation of the little plastic part or
2. Create the 3D representation of the little plastic part
4. Find something on the order of the correct plastic - since it was likely a mass molded part in the first place, you would have to find a plastic that had something similar to the mechanical properties of the original but was machinable
5.Set up your machine
6. Run the parts through the cycle a few times (or a hundred times depending how good a machinist your are or are not)
7.Shut the machine down, clean up, install part
8. Repeat the whole cycle when you figure out you neglected to add the little plastic tab that broke off in the first place thus starting this whole commotion.
Just buy the damn part or use duct tape... People have had DIY 3 axis machines for years with CNC capability (See weird w's post above). Sherline Tools sells the canonical setup. Cost you about $1000 but you will spend many more hours and dollars learning how to use it. Even with CNC, there is an art to figuring out how to cut something complex out of a block of material.
So I don't think bringing the costs down to $400 is going to make much of a difference. It will still take lots of time and effort and the couple of hundred dollars a dremel tool based rig is going to save isn't going to get you anywhere.

No, no, no. Wrong Democratic.
This just proves that reality has a conservative bias - no Democratic black holes? Then, by God, it's Republican's bringing light to the world!
Really quite a simple concept. Just as you would expect.

What does this even mean??
All your base (instincts) belong to us?

Bone meal. Soup is good food.

Google needs a "Google nihilist expert" system: A totally blank screen that only accepts PERL syntax.

Invest in mortgage derivatives. Then you can avoid this whole complex mess.
WTF is the difference between "cloud computer services" and "a VMWare instance on a suitably redundant infrastructure with a reputable hosting firm"?

Not a problem. We need a smiley tag or something. Maybe blinkies.

If that were a troll, your nose would have fallen off.
Simply an expression of delight and awe that we've put that thing together.
Back into the basement, son. Come on out when you're feeling better.
Help! Help!
I'm being repressed!
I don't care.
Total. Nerd. Porn.

I don't get it. No access to removable drives is part of Paranoia 101. I guess I'll just have to RTFA.
Hope that helps.
Self healing perhaps but I would not bet anything on the replicating part.
Parthenogenesis hasn't been shown to work in anything more advanced than a frog, but there is hope yet.
