heart disease isn't contagious. Also if you take care of yourself (or if you're young) heart disease has little to no risk for you. Also heart disease doesn't make you bleed out from every orifice in your body. Also heart disease doesn't trash every organ in your body, just the heart. Need I go on?
Vladimir Putin announced on Russian Times that he will jump from the Mir space station at an altitude of 300,000 kilometers to celebrate the upcoming 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad.
In this case we have a full blown Ebola outbreak and the fucking retarded administration wants to keep open transport because they're afraid it would look like discrimination.
didnt RTFA but seriously? Google car can't recognize a red light??
I would've thought some of the better Slashdotters could write software that recognizes a traffic light from a camera feed, let alone the geniuses at Google.
presumably these drones make so much electricity during the day from solar panels that they store the surplus into batteries, and run off the batteries at night.
Only problem I see is that both solar panels and lithium batteries weight too much and don't generate/store enough juice. So all this is just pipe dreaming until some super breakthroughs happen. Which might be never.
The only thing responsible for a "lack of women coders" is that fewer women than men are interested in software development as a career path. So what? I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why this is a problem
It's a problem for career feminists only. Well actually it's not so much a problem as it is a job. Feminists get outraged and demand justice, it's what they do. When there is no injustice to be found, they create one.
the computer establishment was shown as Big Brother and all the tech workers were depicted as mindless slaves. All shown in dull black and white footage.
Then comes running a feisty young woman in colorful athletic clothes. She hurls a hammer and destroys the system. Lesson: girls hate computers and break them!
Where is it illegal? Certainly not the US. Social Conservatives argued that federal funds were not to be used on embryonic research. That's not making it illegal. It was only illegal to create, grow and harvest embryos for the purpose of research - that's not the same thing as making it *illegal*.
If you say "Gov't has decided to not fund project X"... yawn, boring. Not newsworthy.
Better to say "Gov't BANS X and makes it ILLEGAL to study X" (with a tiny disclaimer at the bottom saying "while using federal funds"). Now it sounds like gov't is teh evil, spawning much outrage.
I'd like to know about the plastic barrels, chambers, firing pins and other sundry parts designed to handle existing ammunition. Is there a printable plastic that is strong and light enough to print a firearm that can be fired more than once without using ANY metal?
No. But a single-use firearm can still be useful. Watch the movie "In the Line of Fire" (1993) with Clint Eastwood. Assassin makes a dual barrel polymer handgun and he gets off 2 shots at the President. He would've succeeded had Clint Eastwood not jumped in front of the target and blocked the bullets.
For ammo and springs he still had to use regular metal parts, so he hid them in a keychain and walked through the metal detector without them.
Is that really true? How can 40% of your entire country's population have their identities stolen and still have a functioning economy? Man those Koreans are really tough.
Didn't RTFA but I wonder if their reliance on IE6 and ActiveX had anything to do with this...
Creating this kind of curved spacetime in the lab won't reveal any new physics but it will allow researchers to study the behavior of existing laws under these conditions for the first time. That's not been possible even in theory because the equations that describe these behaviors are so complex that they can only be solved in the simplest circumstances.
Are they talking about general relativity equations?
I'm sorry but NASA is a bloated bureaucracy. Just throwing money at it and letting it do whatever it wants would be a horrible idea.
However NASA did pretty good recently with the fixed-price contracts to private companies (SpaceX) for specific targets. We need more of these. Kill the cost plus defense industry contracts, kill the SLS and everyone connected with that clusterfuck, completely neuter Congress so that indivdual congresscritters looking for pork barrel have no influence on any project whatsoever.
But since it's eeevil nuclear power (and fission at that), it will never get built in the US. But hopefully in the future China or some other country not under the thumb of enviro-liberals will step up and build it.
It's just a lame attempt by a leftist nutter to shift blame onto the evil Republicans. A crazy doomsday prepper holed up in a mountain cabin is just about the last person on earth you need to worry about in an Ebola outbreak.
Also note how he tries to deflect Ebola responsibility to the Texas governor. As if Rick Perry had any power over CDC or US customs and immigration.
Sorry dude, you can try to make it Rickbola all you want, but Obola is what's gonna stick because the responsibility lies with him.
If it's a regular job and not research, I'd say don't bring it up. Even if your patent has nothing to do with this company's business, they might think you'll bail out of the job as soon as you make $$$ from your patent.
Or if your patent is still pending, they might think you'll spend more time trying to get your patent awarded. Basically another distraction. Kind of like how employers disfavor workers with young children.
Nah, aliens don't use fusion. Too primitive. The Area 51 stuff was all antimatter annihilation.
They reverse engineered antimatter generators back in the 60s, but it wasn't very useful without the element 115 fuel so they never bothered to build one. What use is a car if gasoline is not available on your planet, right?
If Lockheed makes fusion work then kudos to them. It's all human ingenuity. All earth tech!
I really don't understand why even presumably scientifically literate people buy into this doomsday idea. Assuming technology does not advance and this Lockheed fusion reactor comes to nothing, you're proposing that the human race will not survive to the year 2100?
How exactly will this come about? Global warming kills all humans on the planet? Fighting over dwindling oil results in nuclear war?
Stone-age humans survived disasters worse than these. Now please explain to me how 7 billion modern humans spread out into every corner of the globe all die with no survivors. And don't say Greenpeace told me so.

What you're describing is Obola.

Both Ted Kennedy and Tony Stewart have killed more Americans than Ebola.

*asks the magic 8 ball*
All signs point to Yes.
Sounds like something to do with medicine and pharmacy.
Yeah I know RTFA TL;DR yada yada
So just a mesh network with multipath capability then?
don't forget the interplanetary capability!
cos she has no sperm.
(and no I'm not kidding, they tested your sperm to see if you qualified as part of Project Mercury)
Congratulation !
If you analyse
Difficult this program,
We would
Teach you

We don't have to wait 10 years for Lockheed to make the fusion reactor work. Fission rockets are plenty powerful, enough to rule the solar system.
Plus there's always the chance that Lockheed fusion turns out to be a dead end and we're left with nothing.
Behold, the gaseous core nuclear thermal rocket, Liberty ship
3,060 ISP
1,000 ton payload to LEO
But since it's eeevil nuclear power (and fission at that), it will never get built in the US. But hopefully in the future China or some other country not under the thumb of enviro-liberals will step up and build it.
seems a better prospect than a Shazam or Aquaman movie.
Yes it would be.

Kind of like a flu vaccine that give you... the flu
and what job position are you interviewing for?
If it's a regular job and not research, I'd say don't bring it up. Even if your patent has nothing to do with this company's business, they might think you'll bail out of the job as soon as you make $$$ from your patent.

By "we" I assume you mean the human race?
