Let alone they don't have the EPA breathing down their necks to deal with the toxic crap that is a byproduct of solar panel manufacturing. I am sure if the US didn't have to worry about ensuring this stuff didn't get into the environment everybody would have solar panels on everything
I don't have the points, somebody mod this up!
It is as though the whole Cadmium-children's necklaces thing was just a bad dream! They are manufacturing a lot of solar panels and wind turbines, my hat is off to them. The byproducts of such manufacturing (and the industries busily manufacturing them) are often much less than 'green.'
But they know that the west is buying this stuff up like candy.
The Chinese are excellent businessmen, and that isn't said as an insult. I admire their ability to think in terms of generations of sustainable output and make business decisions accordingly.

Can I, after shelling out 50 bucks, play it multiple times through and still enjoy it?
This is one area where the original Deus Ex really excelled.
From how the TFA reads, the rooms were reserved, and paid-for, in advance by the attendees. Upon their removal, it does not sound as though there was any refund for the remainder of their stay. If there was no cite-able misconduct from the attendees, the hotels are setting themselves up for some annoying legal activity. I say 'annoying' because I am sure a Vegas hotel can pony up much nicer attorneys than a small tech start-up.
Anyone know how this material responds to lasers? If it doesn't break, it might be a useful way of preventing resources on the ground from being "painted" by a laser (and subsequently bombed).
I know we're not supposed to feed the trolls but...
If the dog detects 'fear response' you'll just be pulled aside for further examination. No bombs? You're in good shape!
Dogs make me uncomfortable, but I'd rather walk by a guy with a dog than bombard myself with radiation, any day.
It gave me a chuckle to see this story immediately above yet another article on the rapidly diminishing number of IPv4 addresses, and the doom awaiting us when they run out.
Like others have pointed out, I was totally unaware of the movie (and hadn't thought of Zelda for months) until this story came out. I have to wonder if maybe Nintendo is smarter than we're giving them credit for being.
I am certainly going to hunt down a rogue copy of this forbidden film, and dust off my old Zelda games.
When is Nintendo releasing the next Zelda game?
After observing my father (and others, anecdotally) wrestle with Time Warner, it seems as though they are hellbent on putting themselves out of business.
My parents had a rather expensive package from Time Warner, the quality of service was inconsistent for their cable, internet, and phone service.
I had them look into DSL.
Shocked at the price difference for comparable service, my dad gave Time Warner a call.
The customer service rep offered to cancel my father's service, which my father gladly accepted. There was no effort to even keep him as a customer. I know CS reps have a script from which they operate, but you'd think that Time Warner would have one written out for "customer just realized they were getting dicked and would like a better deal," because I have witnessed many people abandoning Time Warner for crap like this.
My parents are now piss-pleased DSL customers.
I've got the lowest grade DSL, but for what I pay for service, I couldn't even get in the door with Time Warner.
A client with a recurring virus infection had a recurring pornogrophy habit. I don't mind return customers, but my aim is to teach them enough to not need me that often. I finally pointed out to him where all the viruses were coming from, and recommended safer surfing habits.
For a short while I worked at a school in the same capacity. A coworker brought a box to me saying it just stopped working. It wouldn't turn on.
I opened up the case and saw pc133 memory crammed into a pc2700 slot. Only after pointing that out did she 'fess up to trying to upgrade it herself.
No, it didn't work after the stick of pc133 was removed, the mobo itself was damaged during insertion.
There was a similar incident with a Frap spilled "near" a keyboard (stuck keys do so many wondrous things!).
Some of the "technology" discussion is VERY dated (the book was published in 1968), covering things like magnetic drums and punchcards.
BUT, The rest of the information covering logic gates and binary math takes the reader down to the fundamentals of the fundamentals.
The means to spoofing one's variety of e-identities (including MAC, IP, Useragent) are light years ahead of the means of tracking use!
The RIAA could demand some draconian cerberos system, but I doubt that rendering large campus networks unusable will garner them any support from the already annoyed campus IT admins.
Anyway, much like the AV companies vs virus-writers, this battle is an entirely defensive one.
It's nice to see something logical leaking out of the judicial system, however.
(Preface: Math is fun.)
It is financially rewarding to _really_ learn math. some punk middling by in "physics for people who don't like physics 101" will probably not do well.
I'm studying engineering. Engineers get paid well.
A friend of mine took a ton of math, got a job writing code for AT&T, he's not getting paid like an NFL quarterback, but he's plenty comfortable.
Someone can teach math their entire life. A math teacher likely understands compound interest, and will invest accordingly.
What's the career span of an NFL quarterback (and how likely is it that they'll blow it all MC-Hammer style)?
How many of us have felt isolated when our cell phone breaks? Almost like having a limb amputated.
How much more powerful will the sense of isolation and incompleteness be (for the soldier) if the stream of psychic chatter ceases? Say, if the apparatus gets damaged or fails.
The potential consequences are particularly frightening if this were to happen in the heat of a firefight.
Psych evals and screening will have to be much more thorough to prevent the enlistment of soldiers prone to getting psychic-cabin-fever.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to see a link between this effort and IPv6. Tracing back to a device becomes much easier when dynamic IP addressing is no longer necessary.
I imagine that, at some point, much like digital TV broadcast, IPv6 will be thrust upon us.
As far as I'm concerned it is much easier to abandon television, than any of the potentially networked devices of tomorrow.
As insane as it may seem, it would not surprise me if Time Warner were doing just that. They have been losing customers hand-over-fist here in San Antonio...and it almost seems as though they're are dead set on driving away as many subscribers as possible.
I.E. my parents' last phone call with a Time Warner representative ended with the representative threatening to send a technician out to cut off their service. My father (a TWC customer for many years) had called to ask about any comparable packages that TW may have had to AT&T's U-Verse.
As you can imagine, my parents' are now AT&T customers.
My wife and I have been using AT&T's services for about year now as well.

Let n = required access to internet (so constant access = n->infiniti)
f(n) = 1/((e^n)^n)

I also think the low-tech solution used by Israel for keeping airports safe needs to be re-examined.

I am shocked that this wasn't modded up. Seriously.
No, when reality is politically incorrect, you bury it. Just imagine if the ACLU sued life, the universe, and everything...

What makes this particularly funny is that it's mostly true.
