Sounds more like a "group of finance officers" are trying to boost corporate revenue by using that old trick again. "Our old software has been compromised! Upgrade to the latest version of __________ to stay secure! As a loyal customer, here's a 20% off coupon code that we didn't accidentally print out and include in our retail box."
It does go to prove that the system is working. If it can't detect terrestrial signals, then it certainly isn't going to detect extraterrestrial signals.
But if Peter Parker doesn't get the bite, someone else will, and then we won't have Spiderman. We'll have Silkwormman. And that just sounds disgusting.
And that would also explain the premise of Star Trek IV. Harpoons being the only effective hunting weapon brought into space probably detracted from interest in more traditional hunting tools and the eventual extinction of whales. It might also explain why tractor beam technology is as effective as it is in the Star Trek saga.
= Na'vi modeling you next bra/swimsuit purchase? If it hasn't happened already, I can certainly see the clothing industry tailoring to the CG box office to make some advertising money, and not just in toony screen prints. Wait for some CG in-real-life movies to come about and you could definitely see this coming. Heck, the Japanese youth already like to dress up/act like their favorite Anime characters.
when they play it on the TVGuide channel. Beside that, I'd be happy to disavow such a thing. Doctor Who is strictly a product of Great Britain, and it should stay that. I'm an American, and I know absolutely that Hollywood would turn such a franchise into an oozing pile of PC trash.
In most cases, and I'm sure there's exceptions, when a PhD refers to a "punch in the face", it's usually meant metaphorically. You know, returning an insult such as, "So what you're saying is, you don't trust educational systems at technical universities like MIT or RPI, or certification boards like CompTIA capable of weeding out good minds from poor ones."
Like some of my PhD friends have told me, putting a technical quiz in front of well educated and experienced job candidate is a great way to insult them, and is deserving of a good punch in the face.
What you get from a quiz is a candidate who is intelligent enough to write a program that is plain to the interviewer. That is, it is neither a wise answer nor a clever one. It is simply an explainable one, and it is usually the explainable ones that show up in "For Dummies" books and have no practical value. You could be interviewing Einstein who would give you an answer that breaks ground in uncharted territory, but you wouldn't hire him because your mind couldn't comprehend his explanations. You could be interviewing Jesus, but his wise answers would be so over your head that you'd not hire him because you couldn't grasp how many risks were calculated in giving you those answers.
Am I the only person that thought this looked a bit like the SAL 9000 (From 2010)? Anyway, my curiosity is whether this thermostat takes humidity into account. The same temperature will feel different based on a few factors, and even if you attempt to perfect a basic thermostat, it's not going to make you comfortable half the time because the actual conditions don't reflect the temperature that is sensed.
Didn't you know? Lisp came about much the same way the Queen's English came about in Great Britain. Soon after, everyone was mandated to take a course on Lisp, further separating us from those people who argue against it's usefulness in the computing world.
Laceration without foreign body of left cheek and temporomandibular area, initial encounter; Laceration without foreign body of left eyelid and periocular area, initial encounter; Laceration without foreign body of left hand, initial encounter;... I mean, *face palm*.
So what you're saying is that I'd be wasting my time reading this article and we still have an effective shortage of engineers because our engineers are not motivated to do engineering, don't have jobs available to them, or found other jobs that pay better than their engineering field. I think I've heard this before. Sounds like we have an incentive problem.
I'm beginning to think this whole HP TouchPad sell-off is just a marketing ploy to get people to group-think and buy up every available unit as the price grows, due to demand, beyond the original value of the product, where people then get into an availability craze, and thus HP swamps the populous with an extreme number of TouchPads with users who want apps for their WebOS, and so HP expands their app store and makes billions.
Start collecting them. Learn about the interests of those other John Smiths of the world. Then call them up someday or have a visit with then and amaze them with your psychic abilities.
Sell them to Wikileaks as flack against corporations. Might turn into something.
Print them out and mail them to their original recipients. They'll get real peeved to think their paperless preferences are broken.
Cancel the services and say someone fraudulently signed up for something using your information. That's bound to turn their heads.
dooms day predictions for the next 30 years. The real Christ won't be able to use his Godly powers until the patent runs out or until he pays a license fee. So unless he's planning a rapture sometime soon, I guess we can relax until the end of epoch time.
Just be sure you don't have the Global Thermonuclear War program running at the same time. If the computer wanted to win at GTW, losing at GTST may suffice as a good tactical maneuver.

just time-shifted. Get your facts straight, DW fans!
By that logic, I guess I should start putting that on my resume: over 20 years of experience beating on it, usage remains fresh.

I venture they use the radioactivity as a clock chip. Sounds like it has a pretty good half-life.
And to top it all off, don't all federal agents wear inconspicuous polarized sunglasses anyway? It's the MIBs, uh, here come the MIBs.

National Security Theatre Company. André de Lorde would be proud.

Does anyone know how far away they previously thought this start was? And when do I get my cryo-chamber?

No thanks. I hear those Egyptian curses are nasty, and are acquired by simply reading something or breaking a seal.
But I swear I didn't share any of my legally obtained music before I deleted it.
