The "libraries" only ever abstract away the 3d hardware. If you limited yourself to a single kind of hardware and it was documented, you could do pretty much the same things in mostly the same space.
Detecting the radiation is trivial. Even any old digital camera sensor can do that. The trick is detecting where it came from. A regular camera uses a lens to accomplish this. However, lenses don't work on gamma rays.
It would be nice if we could just snap our fingers, and suddenly everyone would have great working conditions, and enough money to live well on.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. A society has to work its way up. And companies like Foxconn are the the forefront of that. They pay better and have better working conditions than the average. Once enough people reach a higher standard of living, they can start demanding more, and so on.
By attacking the ones that offer the better situation for workers, you are holding the entire process back.
They said they found that cable problem, but actually getting new results would require re-running the experiment with the fixed equipment, which doesn't happen overnight, so they can't just fix their result just like that.
Neutrinos do seem to have mass, and thus do not actually travel at the speed of light. However, the mass is very small (and as far as I know still unknown), which means that since they are created with fairly large energies, they immediately start moving at extremely close to the speed of light. So close that we can't tell the difference.
Because they don't abuse customers in general. They abuse sellers. The regular users who are paying are left alone, and thus the service is popular. Sellers don't really have a choice, and just have to put up with whatever bullshit PayPal comes up.
Once a fragment that small reaches the ground, it's no longer travelling at enormous speeds. The fireball is caused when the meteorite sheds most of its velocity and the energy is turned into heat. Any surviving parts will be falling at terminal velocity, which is uncomfortably high for a piece of rock, but not enormous.

These services do absolutely not make it obvious that you are telling things to the entire internet, rather than just to friends.
That's nothing but blaming the victim.
I bet it honestly never occured to the guys who did this thing that someone might use it for creepy stuff.
Yeah, no, they knew exactly what it was. Just look at the loading screen:

This has nothing to do with April fools', Slashdot is just late on the uptake as usual.
And then you get angry at them when they provide you with a way to AVOID giving them information?

You are aware that Apple is running and sponsoring some of the most popular open-source projects on the web, right? Also, that Steve Jobs is dead?
Hey, who left the door open and let in all the crazy?
They attempt suicide at Foxconn less than they do outside Foxconn. What does that tell you?
The biggest reason that overall it never has and never will work like that
How, exactly, do you imagine it happened in your own country?

And that's why they already updated the plugin system to avoid this exploit, then, is it?

And realistically, it doesn't matter how much you open up a device, you still can't tell if it is malicious or not.
Until the card itself is smart enough to handle the transaction without trusting the terminal, this is going to be insecure no matter what.
How do you know that any terminal you stick a card into is real?
Why do you think any other device you might be handed is any safer than a phone?

Apple holds a single patent on h.264 out of several hundred. It is also mostly insignificant and entirely unrelated to VP8.
These changes will occur in the next couple months
Posted over a year ago, and guess what, h.264 is still there.
Except that PNG is objectively better than GIF, while WebM is objectively worse than h.264.
That is a pretty common time for cooling down to liquid nitrogen or superconducting temperatures.
Supracooled components. I've used a gamma-ray spectrometer that took about a day to get running for this reason.
Not sure why this one would have any of those. Maybe it uses a superconductor?

Those are not RPGs, they are adventure games.
