The galaxy tab has a dramatically different aspect ratio.
Depends on how you hold it.
I suspect shenanigans. Obviously the person holding them up wanted the other guy to get the answer wrong or he wouldn't have done such an obvious ploy.
Well rehearsed viewing angles to hide the aspect ratio? Covering up the logos? Maybe they found out he's short sighted and doesn't wear his glasses in court.
Who can say what massive CO2 blasts into the atmosphere do? Pretty good bet the sky isn't falling over it tho.
I can!
Up to a point it makes the plants grow faster and increases the amount of algae in the sea.
After that it produces a warming effect called the "Greenhouse Effect". This has been known for over a hundred years and even Mythbusters have reproduced it.
What you're really doing is betting that the Earth has some as-yet-unknown magic trick to make it all vanish.
I like the old school thinking that the Earth has changed over time and continues to do so in spite of the money we throw at environmental research.
True... but the thing to remember is that it doesn't change without a reason as most anti-AGW thinkers seem to imply.
Most of the big changes seem to be down to changes in atmospheric composition and we're busy changing the composition.
After watching the arguments for 15 years I don't think the human race will do a damn thing about it. Doing something would require a change in lifestyle which people will resist down to the last bullet even if leads to long-term improvements. The USA is particularly guilty of this because it produces most of the CO2 and has the most bullets.
When the shit finally hits the fan there will be a massive effort to geoengineer the planet to fix things. This will lead to plenty of instability and extreme weather. Most of this will hit the USA (it has big oceans on both sides), karma will be served.
Solutions? Most of the CO2 comes from electricity generation (ie. coal/gas) so nuclear power is the best bet. See other threads for discussion of this.
Conversion efficiency is low (an engineer can only eat so much pizza) and there's some leakage (most of the toys an an engineer is tempted by are made overseas).
Nope, it's mostly a PR circus for the masses - just like those F22 fighters, etc.
Even on Slashdot, which you'd think would have a more enlighted audience, you have people going on and on about how it's shameful that we don't have an Apollo-style program
Don't get your hopes up too high for Slashdot readers. A few days ago there was one about an eight-year old math prodigy who builds DNA analyzers out of LEGO and what to do with him. The most common suggestions were to make sure he plays plenty of sports and maybe join the boy scouts.
* Realistically,m how many jobs can NASA create? * How much does it cost to create each of those jobs? (NASA doesn't do cheap stuff) * What's the intersection between "people who are qualified to work for NASA" and "people who are having trouble finding work"?
The summary doesn't tell us the slightest thing about the job or the work environment?
eg.
* How many programmers work there? * What sort of software is it? * Is the software any good (despite all the 'missing' programming practices) or is it worthy of a Daily WTF article?
I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions below but they're all posting in ignorance. There's simply not enough information up there to form an opinion.
Also on how many people work there. If there's only two programmers then there's might not be much need for source code control, etc. (although there's three people now so it might be time to start...)
Ignore all the naysayers - there's simply not enough info in that summary to make the kind of calls they're making.
Hint: Might be a good idea to include some actual info next time.

If you're a US citizen your income is subject to US taxation even if you live/work overseas.

Why aren't corporations subject to the same laws as individual citizens?
Windows autorun strikes again. To nobody's great surprise.
Whoah, dude. You can quote Dilbert back to 1993?
Of course...all the coal and oil was once CO2 in the air.
I can also find sea fossils thousands of feet up in the mountains. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to go back to that point in history.
I don't think he really intends to build this. It's more of a study into the reliability of wireless controls.
I assume the reason they don't close these tax loopholes is because they're the same loopholes used by senators, congressmen, etc.
The fever's about the the same ... it's just that Apple fans get out of the house more often.
I don't know why people feel it's necessary to go to the Covent Garden Apple Store and queue overnight (or longer).
So they can say they've done it...?
Yep. He came to Campus Party here in Spain last year and had plenty of time for everybody. He's a totally cool guy.
"Brakes". The word you're trying to write is "brakes".

In the US they have to pay the Apple tax for having an i in the name.
Obama's looking worse and worse with every day that passes.

You think this is about jobs?
Please ponder the following:
* Realistically,m how many jobs can NASA create?
* How much does it cost to create each of those jobs? (NASA doesn't do cheap stuff)
* What's the intersection between "people who are qualified to work for NASA" and "people who are having trouble finding work"?

What if they're paying a fortune?
What, no "beowolf cluster" joke yet?
I don't think written porn is illegal in the UK...just explicit images of erections, penetrations and ejaculations.
Let's see: On the hand you've got a huge, government-funded agency with hundreds of people working with fancy equipment, etc. trying to prove a case.
On the other you've got ... whatever the defendant can afford to pay.
Are you surprised they go for loopholes rather than trying to prove their innocence via facts/evidence?
