Months to years. It's a feature and a bug. The idea is to make both the satellite and launch cost low enough to where they are essentially disposable. This has some advantages - you don't have to have a sat that stores fuel for a decade and where you have to have overly redundant systems to ensure the thing stays up long enough to make money. But - you have to be able to build them and launch them quick and cheap.
Now, where on this spectrum of things does SpaceX fall?
"Tech companies, including Salesforce.com, as well as foundations and community groups, are expected to pitch in funding and other technical support to create the new coursework, equip schools and train staff to teach it."
At least they're pretty transparent about it.
Now, one question for you Bay Area folks - Is there any linkage between the folks on the school board and the nice people on whatever city commission that decided that cell phones cause cancer? I'd love to see a meeting with both groups.
Two groups of crazies enter, six leave (this is San Francisco, after all).
For photography it has it's uses. Not enough to make most people bump up (the better gamut is more of a draw). My next monitors will be 4K, but I'm not tossing out my two year old screens just yet.
No, we don't do that. At least not any more. Most places have figured out the ins and outs of HIPAA by now. And no, your spouse cannot access your records without permission - that is by design. You can give your spouse permission but you can also block it. Think about it - that's the way you would like the default.
This isn't a HIPAA issue at all. It's a technology problem and, FWIW, I'm not so sure it's as big a problem as TFA would have you believe. I've yet to see a PACS run on WIndows 2000 (certainly 'most of them' do not')- they're typically Linux these days. None of the ones I've seen have non password protected access. I'm sure there are some little ones that are running something obscure like Windows CE but again, TFA gives one example and then conflates it to a general issue. Sounds a bit like FUD to me. The example of the open PCA pump is real enough - we covered it not too long ago - but again, pics or it didn't happen. Sure it CAN happen and it's a vector that needs to be considered.
And, amazingly enough, the marketing literature even agrees with you. Their secret sauce is the packaging - getting it to slip over an AA cell so it can be used anywhere.
They even point out that most battery powered devices actually have this circuit built into them. The batterizer just adjusts the parameters differently - optimizing battery life over perhaps some battery longevity factors and the inability to use an internal battery meter to gauge capacity.
Your question is answered several times in the article. Well designed devices probably DO use a DC-DC boost converter, but they design a cutoff at around 1V to avoid damaging rechargeable batteries. This also means the batteriser will probably not produce significant gains in those devices because the devices -don't- stop working at 1.3V (under load) as claimed by batteriser.
That, and the fact that this device kills the battery meter. Your gizmo's internal battery meter is going to read 100% right up until the point it reads zero.
I am sure Apple has consulted with lawyers much smarter and more knowledgeable than you to determine their legal risk. For one thing, a brief perusal of the Wikipedia article on US antitrust and the Sherman Act would show you how wrong you are.
Actually A&M is a great STEMI University (albeit with it's main campus in the Middle of Fucking Nowhere). Excellent engineering, math, biology faculty and a world renown oceanography department. Socially it's a bit on the odd side, but you're either there to study, play football or learn how to shoot people.
the only thing that you can criticize Paulson over is that he likes to keep his strategies close to his chest.
He had his own company with investors that specifically had to toe the line when it came to Paulson's strategies. A lot of them bailed. He really made out by the skin of his teeth since timing was everything (he had enormous notes due with not all that much capital). He is under absolutely no onus to 'tell everybody' his investment strategies.
BTW, he did alert the SEC because he felt the banks were pulling an egregiously illegal stunt (basically they were making money out of thin air). The SEC didn't have the smarts nor the political will to figure it out.
He IS NOT the 'architect behind the subprime mortgages'. He saw that the banks were creating an unholy, likely illegal (but the SEC didn't appear to care EVEN THOUGH HE WENT TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCUSS WHAT WAS GOING ON) and then basically decided to short them. He took enormous risks doing so. The only con were the big banks who blissfully didn't care what the hell they were packaging up as long as they could sell it.
There are a number of books on the subject. The big banks carefully held the wool over their eyes. They reaped billions and got their wrists slapped.
Paulson isn't exactly a 'nice' guy. They don't make them on Wall Street, but he worked legally within the system. The banks, arguably not so much.
Two weeks ago, vets were forced to euthanize the promising gray thoroughbred filly, Eight Belles, when she collapsed on the track after completing the race at Churchill Downs, suffering from two shattered ankles in her front legs.
That happened in 2008!
This is Slashdot. TIme is variant. And a lot slower than everywhere else.
We do that and the article won't be posted on Slashdot until six months after the thing starts up. This gives us some time to get the dupe ready on a timely basis.
Saying no to google is like saying no to a card catalog. That's all Google (search) is - a way to look information up. Determining how to find information is a very useful skill.
And I raise Rule 34 here.
Google is nothing like the card catalogs I was raised with. My head asplode.

How about Iceland? Lots of privacy, and plenty of cooling for data centers... Either way, when exports become hard, companies can just leave.
Why not Iceland?
Too many damned diacritical marks for one thing.

Well that's not kosher.

The Southern Reach Trilogy (Annihilation, Authority, Acceptance) is pretty good. Not space monsters or aliens, but well written and entertaining.
Or the thread (as in 'thread from the sky', not this kind of thread) in the Anne McCaffery Pern novels.

I should think working with worms would be easier. IIRC all you have to do is cut them in half and they regenerate.
Think about that next time you take the time out of your busy day to vote.
Actually, pretty much anything that Slashdot pans seems to make it big.
The iPod, Windows, Bill Gates, the iPhone, the iPad, the iWatch.
We like Nokia, Blackberry and god help us, Windows phone.
There is a lesson here....

Can you try a car analogy please?

Are there any links to actual technical details regarding the hack.
Umm. Citizen. That's not a particularly fruitful line of inquiry, if you catch my drift.
It's fucked up system. Just less fucked up than others we've figured out.
And no, 'scientists' would make lousy laws. Look how they've screwed up thermodynamics. Lord, what a mess that's created.
And how the hell could you fix the spelling errors?
Sigh.
Yeah, the idea of using DNA to 'store' information for multi millennial time frames seems weird. The stuff mutates and degrades.
OTOH, if your storing Brittney Spears and Justin Bieber, this might well be a feature, not a bug.
