Well not checking your math, but the Tesla demonstrates 200mi+ on a single charge, so your 30mi should fit well within that.
Besides, wouldn't it be great to drive to work, come out to drive home and find you now have a full 'tank' because it recharged by solar? THAT is what the gas companies are afraid of.
Instead of pushing opinion as fact, lets find out the facts and form opinion from it.
The car data recorders show that at no time did the cars run out of fuel or suffer a breakdown. But the show claims they lost power and showed the car being pushed back for refueling. The fact is they lied. The failures were staged but portrayed as real.
This is right up there with NBC Dateline staging a truck explosion when trying to show the dangers of side saddle gas tanks. Top Gear should be sued and be forced to place a disclaimer on all future shows stating something like "These tests are dramatizations for entertainment purposes only".
Yea, I downloaded DirectX once and not only did it give me terrible performance and poor rendering, but it loaded a backdoor on my computer which was used for cyber attacks. It also stole my credit card information. Once I loaded OpenGL everything was fixed and is now working like a charm!
Whoops I was looking at the map listed in the article, and the closest reading to Fukushima was in Tohuku university which is about 20km or so away. That reading was 0.18 microSv per hour, which would be 3.2 years for a single CT scan equivalent.
So the link you gave shows radiation averaging 200 microSv per hour. A CT scan is about 5000 microSv, so it would take 25 hours of constant exposure to get a single CT scan. So the other analysis seems correct for right next to the gate.
But lets put those numbers into perspective. Standing outside in the sun at sea level, your exposure is approximately 0.03 micro SV/h. If you take a commercial jet flight, that climbs to about 10 micro SV/h. So even 20km away from the accident site you are still well under what you would get on a flight, which no one thinks twice about.
For crying out loud - why dont you go down to your local bank and ask for a tour of their money printing facilities. Let me know when they start laughing at you.
Seriously, while this is going to be useful in some cases, it's just going give a whole group of people license to freak out. Or worse, try to be socially active to "clean up" the world of all radiation.
Actually I was worried about the radiation until I looked at the actual radiation numbers and realized that if I stood in Fukushima next to the reactor for 3.2 YEARS, I would get the same level of radiation as a SINGLE CT scan.
This is not a worry. Nuclear power still remains the safest source of power in the world.
Ben Bernanke is chair of the federal reserve - a government entity. It's not a bank that anyone can just go to. You're confusing banking system with bank.
I read it and it doesn't apply. Banks don't have the right to print money, and no one needs to print money to cover an electronic transaction. It just shows your ignorance of the topic you are responding to.
I see where your error is. Someone should've explained to you that the word intangible is the exact opposite of the word physical
Do you actually think that when your employer deposits money into your account of when you pay a bill from your account online that there is actual physical money being moved from one location to another? Hate to break it to you but those days are long over and it's all electronic now.
Truthfully both approaches are valuable, and we would be a poorer planet without either of these men
Without Edison there would have been a lot less tortured puppies, cats horses and elephants.. Edison arguably invented very little, instead taking the inventions of people who worked for him and claiming then as his own.
It's not the same as manufacturing. Effort to create the chips (virtual currency) was made once - and that developer got paid long ago. This guy was sentenced for taking copies of an intangible item.
So if I hack into a bank and change the database to report that I have a million dollars in my account, are you saying that because this as an intangible electronic change that nothing illegal was done until I try and convert that into physical cash?
Actually I'm Canadian and my constitutional rights apply universally everywhere, not just in certain areas. The charter of rights and freedoms gives me freedom of religion (among other things) everywhere in Canada. I assumed the US constitution applied similarly.
I agree - why is this needed? Isn't this already protected constitutionally under freedom of religion?
I have to hand it to the Republicans though. They have people brainwashed into believing they are for small government then pull shit like this adding more and more regulations when none are needed.
If somebody can't feed their families by writing free software, they should do something else.
Nonfree software is unethical so they shouldn't write that.
So basically you are advocating working for the greater good with no pay, so a socialist software state where you dont get paid for software (and indeed cannot get paid) and are just provided for. No thanks you Marxist pig.
Position tracking is one thing. But a cell being able to eavesdrop on you even while turned off is another.
They are just using the microphone as 'roving bug'. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the type of software that is on the phone, open or closed. The government also has had the ability to read what you type on a computer basically ever since computers came out decades ago, unless you shield your keyboard, wire and computer case in tinfoil. No one ever freaks out over that, nor is any sane person worried because generally the *government doesn't care what you are doing - you are not that important!!*.
I think you have got just as much chance of getting everyone to understand coding, as you do for everyone to understand how a combustion engine, microwave, nuclear reactor or quantum mechanics work - absolutely none. Most people just dont have the aptitude for those areas.
Conclusions:
- The iPhone antenna is worse than that particular HTC
- Blocking radio signals is hard.
If a metal part of the phone touches the metal tin, you didn't make a Faraday cage you made an ugly antenna. That or the metal tin wasn't actually metal.
But there are many powerful interests which would have interest in tracking and eavesdropping on him, so his argument is sound.
The guy is a crackpot - a flippin LOON fer crying out loud. Why would anyone care what he says anymore than the mental patient downtown on the corner with tinfoil on his head screaming that the government is infiltrated by aliens and is scanning his brain? The man should be committed.
But your point of view leads to the more worrying conclusion that, because most people lack the talent or the courage to take a stand, it shouldn't matter that those who do make a difference may be prevented from doing so. Essentially, you're scared of freedom and you resent those who want to enjoy it.
Thats not the conclusion at all. The conclusion is that his point of view is from a sane individual, representing the vast majority of the population that realize personal privacy does not have to cross over into delusional paranoia like RMSs view.
I'm probably slightly more interesting than the average lady or gent. I know for certain by questions I've been asked at US immigration that at least someone's paying attention to what I'm doing.
Purely megalomaniacal delusions of self importance mixed with paranoia.
Actually the US has a concept of 'temporary insanity' which lets you off of the crime but does not require you to submit to a psychiatric institution. Canada does not.
You don't need to be in Lagrange to be in a stable co-orbit. Look up the moons of Saturn. There are three pairs of moons that share the same orbit and only two of these are in a Lagrangian orbit. If this happens in our solar system, it is likely a relatively common occurrence in other solar systems.
The only way for companies that make thinks like whac a mole to make money is to contract hire the programmer, probably the lowest bidder for the job. They would not have a programmer on staff. They would then hire back the programmer when they needed someone to diagnose the issue. Hence the situation where they had to hire him back to figure out what was wrong with the machines. There is no point to having a single full time programmer let alone a team that would perform a code review.

Remember, requiring people to purchase health insurance of some sort so they aren't a drain on the system: Big Government
I don't see why - it's still private run health care.

Oh please - closed source software is not the same as illegal drugs. Get a grip

A fourier cage? What, is it going to decompose the phone into a representation of its frequency content?

That's ok that Canada is on the list. The US is on Canada's list of countries harboring war criminals (Bush).

Nice code reviews. Way to go whac-a-mole!!!
Code review for whac a mole?? Are you serious?
The only way for companies that make thinks like whac a mole to make money is to contract hire the programmer, probably the lowest bidder for the job. They would not have a programmer on staff. They would then hire back the programmer when they needed someone to diagnose the issue. Hence the situation where they had to hire him back to figure out what was wrong with the machines.
