They have to justify the money they are given somehow. If they just said it was 'common stuff' they wouldn't get anything. Kinda like global warming people. (Oh, now I've done it.)
So I guess there's no question that we know every detail of what happens as a star is collapsing and that the photons didn't just take longer than we think they should to make their way out? And, also, wasn't this optical photons they were looking for? What if there was a brightening, but below the threshold of the detectors? If it's radio/X-rays/etc. then see the first sentence.
We're going to need a computer to figure that all out.:) Thanks for the info. I guess I'd better go find something to read on the subject. It all, literally, boggles the mind. Did that nematodes brain actually only have a couple/few dozen neurons?
So you mean it might be safe to poke one button on a coke machine and purchase a Coke again without worrying about Amazon's lawyers showing up behind you? Whoa!
The NSA was pissed, because all of the Chinese espionage traffic was slowing down their espionage traffic, and with everyone only getting an equal slice of the bandwidth...well Holder had to to something.
Now I AM going to buy all the books and read them after the TV thing is over. I hope just about all "modern" word processor writers just felt a slap in the face, although part of it must be the users fault too.:)

Right. "Oh what a wonderful world" it would be if all the power you needed was "free", but with the number of people we have, and will have, that's never going to happen, and if it ever does it's not going to happen anytime soon. Plus, now there are lawsuits against wind farms, because they are killing eagles. We need a good ol' fashioned plague. What was the number of people needed to populate another planet (an article a few weeks ago)? 10,000 to 40,000? Sounds good to me.
Once I drink all of the contents and eat the bottle I have to get another bottle to wash down the first one, then after I drink all of that one and eat the bottle I have to get another one to wash that bottle down with, then...
Did they ever figure out why the orbit of Neptune is "wrong"? They were looking for, again, Planet X, and discovered Pluto, but it wasn't large enough to affect Neptune's orbit. (or is it 'effect'?)
Yeah, I didn't quite grasp the big deal of it until the Volvo video. It's a nice way to keep the user interface from being crap, like it is on my Toyota. It'll be familiar and make some sense -- as long as it all doesn't look like iOS7 (just had to throw that in:). The watch thing? Agree. Meh. Oh wait...maybe you'll be able to check your vitals on you iOS In The Car display after an accident before they get the jaws of life fired up.
"When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind. I don't consider the bloody ROI," said Cook. THAT's why their stuff is the most expensive. Now I get it...I think. We had a guy in the office go blind in just a matter of a couple of weeks (blood supply to the optic nerves just went away) a couple months ago and Apple's accessibility crap sucks. All of us trying to set up stuff so he could see things on the screen as it was happening were really surprised at how worthless it all was.

Where's the seismometer? Three would have been nice. It could have dropped them off at three different places.
Or they could already come programmed from a "trusted" factory. It's not like that hasn't happened before. Yikes!
The movie 2001? They land on the moon and descend into a pit.

Oops...read the article. 302 neurons. They were not looking at all of them.

Do neurons just fire or not fire in a binary fashion, or are there different levels/voltages of on and off?

If only we could shut down Eric's like they did Rick's.

How much social injury does having no electricity cause?
Yeah, but isn't it going to take like 10^500 (or is it 10^800?) years for all of the baryons to fizzle out? Rats. More code to write.
Does this mean I don't have to worry about Tuesday January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC anymore? What's the new date/time when things will crash and burn?
Someone should buy a copy for Apple, Inc., iOS division, and probably OSX division in the future.

That's it. Just the subject. Wait...Apple could use that if they ever come out with an iWatch.
Well, they've got that sailboat to support. Those things suck up a lot of time (and money).
