It would not remain in orbit but could rise to about 150km (94 miles) before a parachute-assisted descent to Earth. That's just above the Karman Line.
And it's important to note that bragging in the Middle East is often like the threat-display behavior of elephants -- lots of posturing. Recent memory should provide some guidance and experience here!!
Better yet... Enable a guest login on your new Mac and, with the aid of its wireless capabilities and nifty built-in camera, have it send you (running in the background of course) the IP address and snap shots of the user... Probably wouldn't be too difficult.
Not really. Although an average is a statistic, it only shows central tendancy of a distribution and indicates nothing about the variance of the distribution. A statistical comparison implies that the averages were compared using some defined distribution to test some null hypothesis. I'm not seeing that here.
I interned at a major hybrid seed (as in corn seed) company for a year. The security didn't might if you hid your badge because its passive transducer allowed them to track every doorway you passed through.
Yes, maybe. I know they serve different markets. One is a scientific journal and the other is a popular science mag. But that's my point. New Scientist can puff up its feathers and claim they are the watchdog of the big science journals, get a lot of press over it and improve their subscriptions.
The title for this post is misleading. The paper has not been recalled. Some of the data are in despute and it reads as though there will be some corrections posted by Nature. But if you had read the paper to the end you would have noticed that Nature is still deciding on the paper.
Oh, and might New Scientist have anything to gain by overhyping a technical error in a Nature paper... hmmm?

A symphony of small violins for your sympathy.
You know, FYI, I did search for this before posting. I typed "single pixel camera" in the search bar at the top of this page. You would think that such a phrase would find previous articles (and give them a high score) if the title of the article is, "single pixel camera" or even "single-pixel camera". I don't have time to contribute to patching Slashcode. But, it is kind of annoying to volunteer my time to contribute to the/.timesink and have the article posted and then have the "dupe catchers" flame up when I did what should have been sufficient to catch a previous post! Do not email me about this dupe as they suggest, I did my part to prevent it! Besides, if you consider the number of posts this dupe has received discussing the topic, maybe it needed to be brought up again.
To add to your comment...
Viruses can't reproduce, they can only replicate. Complexity aside, this key characteristic separates viruses from eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Maybe it seems like an arbitrary line to draw for living or non-living, but it's convenient enough for me at the moment. It also avoids a chain of "is this alive" questions to roll through prions and viroids and the like.
I'm a graduate student. If I actually had one million dollars (assuming taxes paid), not just assets, I think I could find a way to live very comfortably on its compound interest!

I'm with you on this. It's also important to remember it is winter, the atmosphere is cold above O'Hare International, and ice crystals are able to do interesting things with light from the sun alone.
My point was that the exchanges are based in areas that would see the changes first and therefore the effects would be apparent and actionable. I wasn't implying that the exchange itself would be physically flooded by water.
Maybe, but it might be relevant to worry about where the oil comes from and considering that, how sustainable our oil consumption is with our current sources. I think the issue is a little more than just being carbon neutral. As far as climate change is concerned, I'm not convinced that the markets will do anything fast enough to buffer the expense of many large cities dealing with rising water levels. Maybe it's fortunated that the largest stock exchanges exist in areas predicted to be affected by increasing water levels. Not saying that I have the answers, just expressing my doubt that the free market is offing real solutions here.
Some of the legal/cultural regulations regarding photos and video of others is also interesting. In East Africa it is expected that you pay anyone included in your shot at the time of the photo. For example, I have some great video of a very young Maasai boy leading a herd of about 150 goats across the scrubland of northern Tanzania. I guess my tripod (and the tall pale guy behind it) was pretty conspicuous because he headed straight towards me, seeing me from about 300 meters out. He approached me very curiously and politely, but he was also there to collect his payment. I twisted the viewscreen around on the videocam and we shared some moments smiling at the camera smiling back at us and gave him 5 USD and we parted ways. Even if they are not the focus of your composition you can get some pretty nasty looks from some otherwise cheery folks if you snap and run. However, it is difficult to show the diversity and richness of a Maasai market area without snapping a shot of a few hundred people and it's unwise to go around handing out money in such places.
So I guess the point is just that the new game has less realism than America's Army. Since AA does have weapon jams and more learned enemies. Ok, onto more pressing news...

N-isopropylacrylamide is the main compound here. Anyone who has run an acrylamide gel knows that this stuff (and its derivatives) can be very dangerous (note the NFPA label)!
The robots have a high pitched and annoying sound! Consider my hearing checked!!

2010 is the next solar maximum! Who wants to place bets that the nav circuits on this thing get scrambled on its way back!?

I have a TI-92. It does not have an IR switch, but it does have one serial port and one IO port. And it is stupid big!
His link followed to a page on African elephants. The largest of the elephants.
Yeah yeah. Sure it was. lol

"Did they blow anything up?", my wife asks. No? Well then, move along, nothing to see here!

Good point. I suppose the AI is learning habit more than word definitions.
However, since Wikipedia is not the model of truth hopefully they are going to perform crosschecks with other sources? Or maybe they will just use peer reviewed pages or "feature articles"? Still, cross-checks with additional online encyclopedias would be a good idea.
I'm with you on this. It's also important to remember it is winter, the atmosphere is cold above O'Hare International, and ice crystals are able to do interesting things with light from the sun alone.
