Please explain how one of those could destroy all evidence of satellites in orbit. A meteore might be huge for the surface of the Earth, but at 35,786 km it would merely be a blip. The other causes of mass extinction have even less influence.
An interesting point. However, given the action of plate tectonics and erosion causing the extreme remodeling of the earth in the last 65 million years, it's possible that intelligent, even technologically advanced, dinosaurs could have existed, yet all traces have been erased by natural processes. That's not even a hypothesis, nor is it even science, as the idea isn't falsifiable. However, it is just as valid a conjecture as any that posit the existence (or non-existence) of extra-solar intelligent life.
No, if they existed, their geostationary satellites would be visible above the Indian ocean (stable point for those due to Earth gravity). Decay of those orbits is very, very, slow. Even if destroyed my micrometeorites, sufficients small parts should have remained. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
The linux runs in a chroot inside ChromeOS. So, you use a tab of the browser to start your linux, then use the F keys to switch to it, and back. In other words, you need to see linux as an application you run inside ChromeOS, not as a different installed OS. Files are stored in the Downloads folder, and go to your google drive like that via the ChromeOS file manager.

However the Fiat starts at $32K which almost $10K less than the BMW. Making a car light without other sacrifices does require more expensive materials, so I would expect more from the BMW than the Fiat, and evidently it delivers.
The Fiat boss also said they loose some 5000 on every car sold, which is the reason they are only sold in California as a 'compliance car'. BMW on the other hand sees this as a real product
Over my entire life I have perhaps read 3 books twice. Silmarillion is one of them. You can dream away and fill in the story as much as you like. The only book I know that could be turned into 12 movies, that is for sure.
To them it probably sounds like asking a socialist party from Europe to write an article that gets applauded by Fox News. I suffered through enough Bible classes to find the appropriate quote (from parable of the sower):
They could ask Gerard Shroeder though. Would that count?
He said: "The UK has a veto vote, so the changes of Schotland becoming a member are up to the remaining UK". He hence evaluated the chance of the EU to allow Schotland in very poor. That is, the UK is part of the EU and would not allow Schotland in.
This is a very, very important point to make, and he was right to make it. Cyprus is also blocking Turkey, Greece Macedonia,...
As a variant to this, we redid the drawdio in another form factor, and now want to put it in our own sub 1000$/year online shop. Are you really just ok with this?
Actually, if you read LF, you would see that indeed, those 3 write most of the articles. A 4th one also quit, but can't join Voice till January due to some contract clause.
Other good articles typically are from independents. If you look on the idiegogo page, you will see they also need a budget for such articles, based on a fixed fee per page.
So you are anticipating the company that took away a highly touted software feature (the "Other OS" feature) via a required system update (as in required if you ever wanted to play another game on your system) is going to add new capabilities to the PS4 that they went to special effort to prevent upon launch?
On a completely unrelated note, I have this really great bridge that I need to sell for a bargain basement price. Are you interested?
Nowhere did I say I would buy the PS4, so no, not interested in your bridge either. I might buy it though begin 2016 or so. I understand this might be hard for you, but try to put yourself in the mind of Sony. Who is using DLNA? Is Sony, apart from selling the PS4, earning money with that? Would it have much impact on selling the PS4? Can we make deals with netflix, local cable companies,...., to offer movies for rent? Can our televisions not do DLNA directly? Hey, yeah, who knew, our televesions do that http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/lcd-television/benefits/article/id/1237477951736, why would the PS4 be needed for an extra bridge?
Sony is a consumer electronics company. What they are doing does not seem to go counter to that.
Did you notice Sony will only let you watch streamed Video and Music sold to you by them?
No DLNA support
No USB support
No using a PS4 for home media
I've been called a paid Sony Shill on these forums, and I'm now saying that the XBox is the best all-round device for the next generation.
I used PS3 for streaming over DLNA. Now I use a dedicated tool that gives me actual freedom. I bought the PS3 because of those possibilities, that is true, but now that I used it, I would hope the PS4 is just really good at games. Sony-non-gaming only wants cinavia and other crap to add on those things.
As to the PS4, as all these things are essentially just software, I'm personally convinced they will add them eventually, after trying an itunes approach or collaboration with a specific provider per country via an app. If those fail, they will/can add them.
Looking at HD content on my 10+ year old Panasonic plasma (yes, no hdmi, that was not out yet). Still looks great... and better than the LCDs of that time. How it looks was the reason to buy it.
This is actually one of the few electronics products in my house I've been really satisfied with. Customers like me would buy LED now though. If you are BMW, you need to move with the best products in class: aluminium, electronic car,... . Plasme could never shift to the lower segment as LCD had that well covered for less price.
Peer review for articles also is failing. You need to publish and write project proposals, so time for review is much more limited than it used to be. Hence you will start to trust derivations/leaps more, instead of recalculating/checking. In the end, more bad articles filter through.
Personally, I haven't done a review during the last year. Not having job certainty is not a good motivator to spend time on things which are important but have zero impact on your job possibilities.
The adoption rate of Windows Phone is actually growing at a faster rate than Android (and certainly Apple), right now.
...but growing slower, that is simply how maths works. In fact the reason for the quick Microsoft sale is because of shrinking Windows Phone Sales this quarter, as indicated in this article, and its limited success has been at the bottom end whatever you think of that.
Yes, and people say that it does great in Mexico, however, Nokia - Symbian drops more than WP8 goes up, so Nokia is loosing mindshare, even if WP8 does great.
Japan can produce 9 tonnes of weapon grade plutonium a year (approx some 2000 bombs), or enough to nuke all of China. They have sattellite launching capabilities, so need not make new rockets. Thinking Japan cannot bomb China given a 4 month lead is wrong. All China can do is attempt a surprise attack. Japan has several spy satellites though...
All this just to say that the Japanese politicians have not been utter fools believing in love and world peace,
now there's plenty of printers that offer the exact same(and better) makerbot experience but cost 1000 bucks less than makerbots offerings.
To earn that informative tag, you really should give some links for that. I've seen cheap chinese makerbot replicator rip offs, but those don't give confidence. Personally I'm happy of my replicator. I keep using replicatorg for printing though, that new makerbot software has nice features, but doesn't give me the quality prints I want.
Problem with 2 and 3 is that you need to walk there and wait. To move a print job from a printer to another one would often also have the same problem.
The wage cost is quite high here, and people are busy, busy, busy. Walking and waiting is not high on the list of things to do.
2) They use their printers for non-work related uses. We can audit the departmental stuff, not so for the personal stuff.
You have to remember that universities operate rather differently from companies.
What nice view you have of us. We print on our own printer because:
1) the big printer is busy again printing some courses and you need it now
2) it's confidential
3) the big printer is too far or needs a special code against your department
Moreover, if you don't give them their printer or cartridge, it's not as if they don't have the budget to buy it on own costs. If your Dean cuts costs, just tell everyone the personal printer is on own expenses, many unis work like that. Uni's are not like companies because although cash flow comes from external parts, many profs have their own cash flows via grants, and because many unis are run by the profs. Could be different for you off course.
About personal stuff, I see a lot of it on the big copier/printer too, it's not like people around here are ashamed to do that. The copier has better print quality apparently.
And how important was the moon? Some arguments have held that not only the existence of the moon, but the way that it was captured is crucial. (Note that it stabilizes the Earth's axial tilt.)
So, while I find the Fermi Paradox troubling, I don't find it insoluble.
Interesting point. But from a sample of one, one cannot do science. As the planet formation models from before the exoplanet discoveries show, one cannot do viable science based on a sample of one.
Here is how it will work: we will be able to detect spectra of planets within the next 50 years. Based on that, live will be found on many, few, or none. Based on that the models will be adapted, and all nerds on/. in 2060 will fail to understand how we in 2013 did not see how it all really worked, as it's so obvious.
And yet no serious climate researcher has been able to show any actual causal relationship between Sandy or any other storm and global warming. Why do you trot it out?
But statistically it fits the expected trend. They do agree on that. A storm like Sandy could occur 100 years ago. Nevertheless, researcher agree that stroms in the future will keep on getting stronger on average (increased ocean temp,...) in that area. In how far they were right will be clear in 50 to 100 years or so. I assume you want to wait and see? It's up to the rulers to plan and prepare.
Why the windows logo on it? Is that some sort of requirement to get OS discounts? Would be nicer with Dell logo there, and no dell logo at the left top....
Slashdot Mirror
The PLA is no good though. Great for decorative things, but if you actually want to do prototyping of engineering stuff, you want ABS.
Because we obviously never have extinction-level events that could destroy everything in orbit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event

Yeah. I have. It's better than everything else on the market.
No it's not. The version without the ribbon was better. At least for me.
I take offence to 'Every man and his dog seems to own one.' Are you stating that I'm neither a man nor a dog? What does that make me?
