Is your car's speedometer an "accurate scientific instrument"? How about the gas pedal, and its linkage? How about your foot: the bones, tendons, and muscles? Expecting a driver to maintain an exact speed to the MPH, much less the km/h, is stupid.
What I meant was, in the context of the law, you cannot challenge the reading on the device. Legally it is defined as absolutely correct. Doesn't matter if you think you were doing 40 in a 60 zone. If the radar or laser says you were doing 61, then the law says the radar is correct. Arguments that the device was wrong are simply not allowed in court.
Your speedo is not considered a scientific instrument, and they don't care what it was reading. It's your job to stay under the limit by enough that variation in speed doesn't take you over. They even run ad campaigns encouraging people to drive 5km/h under the limit.
It's not an evil genius type muhaha plan to suppress cures. It's just a bias in where they direct their research funds. A treatment that looks like it will manage a condition and make a large profit will get the hundreds of millions spent on it to get it through the regulatory process. Something that looks like one-shot cure that will only make a small (or no) profit simply won't be invested in.
In Victoria (AU) it's an absolute limit. 1 km/h over the limit is fined. And you can't really challenge in court, because the law specifically defines the cameras / radars / lasers etc. as "accurate scientific instruments". Any contrary evidence as to speed is over-ruled.
5400mAh @ 14.8 volts.
It's about the same mAh capacity, but three or four times the voltage of most tablet batteries, giving it much more energy storage. I agree that they do try to hide the range stats though.
When I did (university level) chemistry, we were told that bases were actually more dangerous to your eyes than equally strong acids. The caustic solution will form a scale on the surface of the eye, and continue to damage the cornea underneath whereas acids will wash out with water. (Although I guess this only applies if you have the chance to wash it out.) The real reason for the fear of acids over bases is all the movies where the bad guys throw acid in someones face, and that it is easier to get hold of really strong acids than strong bases.
revolvers generally rely on a heavy trigger pull (at least for the first shot) as the safety.
I've seen this in a couple of comments. What constitutes a first shot for these pistols? Or more exactly, what resets the heavy trigger pull for the first shot? Because if it is something like reloading, I can see somebody having to use it (probably a stressful situation) and then putting it down or away leaving a semi-loaded gun in an easy to fire condition.
Australia has this with a 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax) on just about everything. Local retailers complained they were losing business to overseas businesses and wanted it enforced on all imports. The tax office looked into it and concluded it was not worth the effort of enforcing it on shipments worth less than $1000, so individually imported items less than that are not GST'ed. * If it wasn't worth it for our tax office, I don't think it would be worth it for yours.
*This is basically for personal use. If you make a habit of shipping $990 worth at a time for resale, they will come after you with steel-capped boots.
They should head back to being thin clients on a server running a bunch of virtuals - one per kid. Easier deployment. Easier monitoring. Central backup. Lets the kids customise their setup and then log in anywhere and get their machine. Should cut power bills too.
It's not a matter of whether you have ever heard of it. That's would be an insane standard. The test for jury duty is whether the court believes you can put aside what you may have heard and objectively consider only the evidence presented at trial.

Combine the two. Put your self-firing gun on the roof of your self-driving car, and send it off after your ex.
With a pain in all the diodes down its left side.

Assuming you're talking about the human race, it's currently somewhere between 5 and 10 percent.

Oh the irony. Or did you mean, "safely pull over and stop, and then use my smartphone to call down a drone strike" ?

Is it science every time a redneck says "Hold my beer and watch this."?
Sometimes it's science, sometimes it's just messing around.
And sometimes it's evolution.
So you can print out emails to fax them to other people of course.
It's not Susan you need, it's a box of chocolates.

Wow. With grammar like that you should submit the story to slashdot.
Not quite. Long term, the potassium/sodium ratio is important.
Table salt is pure sodium chloride, the isotonic drinks have potassium in there too.

Every other slashdot poster is truncated at 20 or 30 lines with a "read the rest of this comment" link.
Why aren't this troll's posts truncated?

Americans hold the people of every other country to be responsible for their politicians. Why shouldn't America be held to the same standard?
This is Freeman Dyson. Look up the original Orion rocket. The nuclear power plant is not bolted on top of a firecracker.
Is that a blue bag on the ground behind him?
Logging. Logging could go very wrong.
The chance of dying in a car accident are much higher than that.
in the US : approx 350M people / over 30K deaths/year = on the order of 1 in 10,000.
