You do realize that Americans engineered many parts of the LHC right? Including some of the accelerator magnets and parts of the detectors? This has nothing to do with nationality, probably just technological advancement that happened in the 10-15 years between projects.
The app just collects publicly posted information about DUI checkpoints. It could be easily replicated in a for pay website which uses the browser API to grab GPS coordinates and fetch the relevant information. What happens then, are we going to come up with a mobile application website list?
His point is that the research field has been doing this (3D reconstruction with range sensors) for years, so long in fact they have created nice open source solutions for it. The tech news sphere, and most hobbyist it seams, are completely ignorant of this.
Not only is it trivial, it doesn't even run any optimizations passes over the resulting point cloud in order to reduce error and produce nice surfaces. This process is very similar to the work done here except the resulting solution will be quicker because you already have some decent depth information for the points.
No, midrange laptops use to come with 1400x1050 displays, I have one and it rocks. All of these displays that are only 900 high including uber expensive macbook pros are lame.
It is fully capable of snake like gates, but since it can grip and move a little different then a snake they are experimenting with other gates to see what is effective. If rolling up the tree is optimal for their snake like robot why not do it?
You, me, and pretty much every other engineer in existence shares this feeling. At its peak during Apollo NASA funding was 8 times the current $17 billion rate and I think it was worth it. You want more scientists and engineers here in the US, land a man on Mars. By the time we do it, I am pretty sure the world wide audience will be billions of people, easily toping the 15% who watched the Apollo landings.
It's also possible our "conventional" science and industrial means will extend to the point at which can build ships large enough and with enough fuel to make the journey's the hard way: sublight travel. Either putting people in suspended animation, having people that live for 100's of years, creating a self sustaining colony on the ship while it travels, etc. Heck, even with our current tech we could do this, it would just require a tremendous fraction of the earth's resources, mainly because its so hard to get into orbit.
I always liked Earthsiege 2 because I felt it was even more focused on building your mech, and piloting it. Much less like a shooters with robot, and more like a "Mech Sim". Also as the campaign progressed you assembled you built new stronger mechs from the scrap captured, it was sweet.
The most expensive hotels, are the ones most likely to have for-pay wifi. At rates of like $10-$15 an order of magnitude more expensive then a wireless or landline connection for your house.
Does anyone know a good pre-pade type 3G data provider?
This guy shopped around stolen property to find the highest bidder after making a feeble attempt to "return" it. I don't have much sympathy for whatever happens to the guy.
You aren't only paying for that 45 minutes you are paying for the assurance that you didn't miss anything or make any mistakes in the calculations. If you have a medium complexity return TurboTax can auto-import all of W-2's and 1099's and do all the calculations for you. For some people that assurance is worth it.
Sounds like you need to manage your funds a little better by creating a budget and work with your wife to stick to it. Also by paying off your loans as slowly as possibly you are loosing out in the long run. The faster you pay them off, the less interest you pay and the lower your total payout will be.
But in this case you are just using the legal system in the worst possible way: To screw someone out of a legitimate outcome. If you were fighting an illegal ticket, or something the company legitimately did wrong it would make more sense.
Billions of dollars of finely crafted hardware will just gather dust in a museum or rust in an outside rocket yard. Its what happened to perfectly functional Apollo hardware, its what will happen to the shuttles.
How did you learn of the device? Do you know its power output? Radio drops off really fast, so it's completely possible that its signal strength is less in your apartment then all of your neighbors WiFi.
What is important for construction is the load before the metal begins to yield. If the material yields very early, it doesn't matter how well it snaps back into shape, because it you won't actually be able to build a structure out of the stuff. Just look at some plastics, they are very springy, but try make anything out of the them, and the entire structure starts to flex and sway.
Short version: A material actually needs some stiffness to be practical

Yep, it's not exactly an AI break through but it's really cool to see a practical application of machine learning in the consumer arena.

It's not a body cavity search.
This is the guy that made google-maps as well, it is quite a loss.

Quick! Someone tell the puppeteers, before they run into *another* exploding galaxy.
Cisco IOS seems to return decent results for me. I am pretty sure people who use that OS have enough google foo to filter out iPhone results.
Engadget. It's the classier, more popular version of Gizmodo.
What about the Mac in 1984, with its mouse driven GUI? Even Windows 7 borrows quite a bit from Mac OS X.

Yes but the Woz case is possible bug in the cruise control software, not the accelerator.
