The bill authorizes: “That $75,000,000 shall be for pre-formulation and/or formulation activities for a mission that meets the science goals outlined for the Jupiter Europa mission in the most recent planetary decadal survey” – H.R. 933, p. 64
Also, reading the summary, I stumbled across this gem in the bill (now law), funding for "former Soviet Union cooperative threat reduction".
In the article, it says he complied with the legal threat and that is pretty much the end of the story. They have not been taken to court. All else in the article is just publicity for the company.
That being said, I don't see why they need to focus on campuses at all, except it's a good market for delivery & cell phone usage. There is no need for a lawsuit and they already stopped delivering food associated to Brown.
I agree, but you shouldn't have to paste the summaries. Are you getting the link "Click for a FREE PREVIEW of the decrypted version of this story!", which should show you the summary below it after clicking?
I have never heard of this device before, and doing a quick search online, I was unable to find details about it. Who manufacturers it? What are the restrictions for purchasing it?
Can you explain how your legal department operates within Intellectual Ventures? How many lawyers, what kind of lawsuits to pursue, patenting process, etc.
"The U.S. Supreme Court will review genomic patent rights in an upcoming hearing on April 15. At issue is the right of a molecular diagnostic company to claim patents not only on two key breast and ovarian cancer genes — BRCA1 and BRCA2 — but also on any small sequence of code within BRCA1, including a striking patent for only 15 nucleotides. "...
"This means if the Supreme Court upholds the current scope of the patents, no physician or researcher can study the DNA of these genes from their patients, and no diagnostic test or drug can be developed based on any of these genes without infringing a patent," says Dr. Mason.
* Personally I believe the supreme court will throw out these patents.
If you have a decent hosting company, they'll do this for you. Mine will send out alerts if a popular CMS install has a known hole in it, and require people to upgrade the software.
You are probably correct, the military satellites have a ton of data, but it never hurts to have another. In addition, this data will be released to the public: "data from OLI and TIRS will be processed and added to the Landsat Data Archive at the Earth Resources Observation and Science Center in South Dakota, where it will be distributed for free over the Internet."
The reason it is unprofitable is because China is flooding the market with panels that cost less than the production cost. If China was punished for its behavior, these companies would be able to compete and stay in business.
"European makers of solar energy have accused low cost Asian competitors, especially manufacturers from China, of creating the trouble for their western peers, partly by flooding the market with products at prices far below production costs."

Fair enough, but I do not like using my mod points to mod people down, but will if it is off-topic, etc. It seems like a waste of mod points to deal with this spammer, who posts the same EXACT spam on every article. I like the idea of having a lower than -1 rating. I'll scroll through -1 occasionally to see if the rating was justified, but this spammer would be modded down to oblivion every time.
That's not 100% true. I've done adword campaigns through Google (and other sites) and was able to track the return on investment from different ads & clicks.
Can someone explain to me why advertisers would want to pay for bogus clicks? How does this money get laundered to hide the trojan creator and also defraud the advertiser?
"We are in a magnetic region unlike any we've been in before -- about 10 times more intense than before the termination shock -- but the magnetic field data show no indication we're in interstellar space," said Leonard Burlaga, a Voyager magnetometer team member based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "The magnetic field data turned out to be the key to pinpointing when we crossed the termination shock. And we expect these data will tell us when we first reach interstellar space."
I think you just described my level of math knowledge as well. I was trying to understand this explanation of Weil conjectures and couldn't make it past the first paragraph without being lost.
They are only using integer coordinates. I do not know the math well, but I suspect that is why it is finite. Also, there are different sizes of infinity. For example, the "number set of all numbers" versus the "number set of all positive odd number integers".
From the article: "The Weil conjectures concern the points on algebraic varieties that have integer coordinates (in the case of the circle, x and y must be whole numbers). The number of such solutions — typically, there are only finitely many — can be calculated from a formula called the zeta function."
To be fair, you are quoting the summary and that is not said on the project's main website. However, they do say:
" Its DNA has already been sequenced... The genomes of the two birds will be compared in close detail, to determine which differences are most crucial. Then the data and analysis goes to George Church’s lab at Harvard’s Wyss Institute to begin the process of converting the viable band-tailed DNA into viable passenger pigeon DNA... There are some 1,500 preserved specimens with extractable DNA."

How about some tech news. To summarize the 'article', it's a parody of hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.

This article doesn't have a pop-up ad.
Just because the paperwork is long does not mean the patented idea has any real innovation.
For example, Halliburton patenting the patenting process: Patent Acquisition and Assertion by a (Non-Inventor) First Party Against a Second Party

While I commend this action, I am afraid that share holders may be upset with twitter taking a $50 million hit for their morals.

I'm curious, what do you plug into your backpack when you're out hiking?
