While you're likely not going to die from inhaling mercury vapor, it IS more likely to cause severe central nervous system reaction than exposure to the liquid mercury found in a thermometer. And this really ignores the fact that the actual reduction in energy used is almost completely negated from the production and clean-up costs. Throwing one of these bulbs out causes way more pollution to the environment than an incandescent. Can't just look at the power savings during use and make that the only comparison.
Unless those criminals now have to cancel there internet because they can't afford the extra 15 cents! I wonder if free internet access will now be free plus tax??
Video shows almost unrecognizable piece of tinfoil moving up and down a little with part of it always conveniently enough off camera to make you wonder if it was really floating at all....
Slashdot moderation provides the utopian method for making all information available while providing the facility for anyone to set their own threshold for what information they will actually see. Slashdot will be looked at by future generations and they will say "There is an information source that was ahead of its time!" Then they'll accidentally set their mod threshold to -1 and will immediately dig up Taco's corpse and beat it with a stick.
I think he expected it to be in the $200 range from the article. I took that to mean either his normal AT&T bill was that much or that based on the amount of data usage (maybe not an unlimited data plan) he expected the $200+ bill.
The real issue is that they had the onboard cell tower going which overrode the local tower.
Is there a reliable way to track your own bandwidth usage? Similar to tracking minute usage on cell phones?
My concern is that I just got Netflix and have been going gang busters watching all sorts of stuff on Watch It Now. I'd want to know if my 3+hours of streaming a night will catch up with me.
You somewhat lose the urban assault strategy style game play when people can run at Mach 5, wall jump up a 3 story building, and then immediately slide crouched 40 yards executing a perfect headshot with a pistol.
I love Urban Terror, but it is definitely not a strategy-heavy FPS.
Alright, so I'll amend the analogy to include helping it out of the crystalis and spreading its wings for it. Then, just for good measure, I'll have a little boy come along and stomp on the butterfly because he thought it was gross.
Please define a natural temptation versus a societal temptation with regards to what can or cannot be forcibly removed by governmental influence. If pontiff decides that sheep are too big a temptation, he can have all sheep killed. If he decides knotholes in trees are too big a temptation, all trees can be felled. Too much visually sacriligious material in the environment, gouge everyone's eyes out, mutilate their eardrums and hobble them. The mind wanders to evil thoughts? Then everyone must be put in a permanent vegetative state lest they blasphemy through thought...
And because it's used primarily as a religious analogy, this may not be scientifically accurate, but what I was told when I first heard it was that the act of "struggling" to emerge from the crystalis is what helped form the wings (through fluid stored in the body being squeezed out into the wings). The wings, therefore, won't work, which surely isn't epistemological, but definitely would have a negative impact on their overall life expectancy.
Islam has various doctrines that are meant to be trials for those who subscribe to that faith. Ramadan is meant to teach patience and improve ones ability to resist temptation. If those temptations are removed by theocratic/governmental policing, the whole point is lost. Yes, a person may not have access to one area of temptation and therefore won't succumb because there's nothing to succumb to, but just like a butterfly emerging from the cocoon; if you see it struggle and decide to help it out, it won't have the ability to survive on its own later. If a muslim never even has the opportunity to face temptation because they are shielded from it at every turn, then on the likely chance that in their adult life they suddenly have multiple temptations blinding-siding them, they will have no internal facility to deal with it other than to cave in.
I think the "Islam is evil" thing you're so sure is going to happen is because of how evil the intentions the governmental bodies that try to enforce it are. This is why separation church and state is so important in this respect. It was huge in christianity during the crusades. Fortunately many have seen the light and no longer impose faith as a law.
I'd just want them de-barked. Yes, big dog barks can become annoying to over time, but with a small dog the bark is ear piercingly deadly right from the get go. I have a "small" dog (westie) and he only has the ability to bark still because I'm so fond of him now. He didn't bark at ALL for the first month we had him. I was worried for him, but then he finally started and I was momentarily relieved. Then I had to teach him the command "NO BARK!" Gah...YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP
If only the feature could possibly live up to its potential...so far all I see are quoted people taking the opportunity to get more of the spotlight on whatever area of expertise they were interviewed for, rather than as a way to clarify a misquote. Getting everybody who was quoted and giving them a chance to say whether they were quoted accurately, and if not, what was misquoted would be great. Just having them expound on whatever book they're selling or wax poetic about something barely related to their quote is next to useless.
Slashdot does a good job of aggregating IT-related stories in a place where IT-related people can discuss them. But general public being solicited for comments/debate on any given article's content...zzzzzz. sounds great on paper, but sifting through the thousands of "First post" type posts to then have to sift through the "You're gay" type posts to find the one thoughtful response that cover a key issue addressed in the attached article doesn't sound very fun to me. I'd rather just bring it up at the water cooler.
IPv8 has the speed and power of a big block v8 in it, I'm pretty sure it can go faster. But seriously, I was mostly just building off of the bait and switch "exaflood" as a scare tactic for net-neutrality and drawing a similarity to the scare tactics to switch to IPv6. While IPv4 truly will run out of space "soon" the scare mongering to get people to switch has been similar:)

And it's almost certainly a violation of policy for you to post this policy as you're immediately degrading said policy's ability to provide security.
Hopefully he's very high 6 figures otherwise he's just a 40K a year worker who does a buttload of overtime.
Which would also solve the problem of having human pilots since they'd all be blind...

You expected different working at Apple?
Possibly, but the solar storm monitoring wouldn't be as effective.
Service guarantees citizenship!
That's the only part of that post that sounded a little bit exaggerated?
ZOMFG but the aggregated content is devoid of any uber-ad-filled content!!!
I doubt he could negotiate swinging frmo trees in the dark while drunk off his ass to get to the bathroom though.
Poo throwing was an early test of their launch vehicle.
And who has money on the OS not working right afterwards?
