Yes Mr Pizza, "This cannot work. Case closed." is exactly what I read from a comment like that. When someone makes a comment about how the experiment can't possibly work because it might be affected by the gravity, it tells me instantly that the poster knows absolutely nothing about the scientific method and that they believe that building a device that partially matches the reality of earth and will be verified against a model with parameters that take that into account is useless.
It is exactly the same as the idiot posters about the neutrino speed discrepancy who said that the scientists obviously didn't measure the distance right or something equally idiotic.
People who post comments like that are irreparable and I made the decision long ago to actively ignore them since it was taking too much energy to try and get a clue into their thick skulls about how science actually works.
Why is asking here different from asking on IRC or the Python forums? At least here, the people who don't agree with the party line can air their comments.
Either he should be asking questions on a public forum or he shouldn't. Once he made the decision to go to the public forums, he is perfectly entitled to ask on Slashdot as much as on the Python forums. And I guess he'd get the vitriol on either of them.
It is useful because it will eliminate a possible source of interference at the Karoo site that isn't present at the Australian site without shutting cellular phones down over a too-wide area.
And do I sense hostility for our country getting the SKA or are you merely annoyed at having to convince the ignorant of its obvious benefits?
The root cause of the problem is that cellular phones are about the only reliable communications method used by the farmers near the proposed site. Use of phones on the site itself isn't a problem as the operational rules would forbid it, but the towers needed to support the farmers would interfere.
By creating an antenna that can blackout a narrow sector - the site - while not affecting signal strength for the farmers, they eliminate the issue of interference without forcing the farmers to lose reliable communications.
It's because it doesn't actually work that way. DMCA doesn't violate due process as described because the person receiving the notice has the right to respond and then the case has to go to court and the interoperability/reverse engineering case will be made.
There is the risk of expensive litigation stopping small players from fighting the case, but even without the DMCA, the big company still has that ability to try and outspend the small chap.
Erroneus is in error. DMCA takedown notice gets issued by Skype, developer issue counter-notice as allowed in the DMCA and then it has to go to court or be dropped. If the hosting provider doesn't restore after the counter-notice or Skype keeps issuing takedowns and not react to counter-notices by either taking to court or dropping the claim, they are in violation of the DMCA.
Looks more like "Yes, you can patent the treatments you invent, as with all drugs, but you cannot patent the method of research itself just because it is hard and need special equipment instead of a lab rat and a scalpal."
I think the thesis of the article is that because Arduino and other prototyping boards are so cheap, products based on these chips will become more widespread and popular. Once they are out there, reverse-engineering them will be easier because you can get the same hardware that was used to develop them.
The same is true for any FPGA or microcontroller, but since some of them had exorbitant costs for the development environment, the average man in the street will not really be able to hack their way through them.
You also have to take into account the amount of energy taken to make the ceramic floor tile that this replaces. It probably won't zero out the stainless steel energy, but grinding clay and baking it in a kiln uses some energy.
For those of us who don't like sport and don't like subsidizing those who do, this is a win. For a sport fan, it's a good way to part him from his money.
And you know what, these new 5 segment SRBs are being designed by the people who have spent decades working on solid rockets. And after 3 test burns, they are happy with the design and the geometry.
ATK does not only make SRBs for the shuttle, they make them for Trident missiles and other systems. You want an SRB, you go to ATK. Otherwise it's like going to a CPU fabricator for a new GPU instead of NVidia or ATI.
From TFA, The Y dwarf approximately nine light-years away, WISE 1541-2250, may become the seventh closest star system, bumping Ross 154 back to eighth
Alpha Centauri is a single star system and this Y dwarf survey was out to 40 light-years. Ross 154 is 9.6 light-years and they think WISE 1541-2250 is just over 9.
Lessee, Chinese government citizens' annual loyalty test results for 3 years, Indian government election results tally for 1 election, Facebook's wall. CitiBank's payoff records.
You will be surprised how fast 2 billion records gather when you've got a large enough client base.
There are also silent install switches and configuration file switches for the official installer executable that will allow a custom install without end-user interaction.
Since California was Spanish and then Mexican before becoming American long after the War of Independence, the writ of the English courts have never run in those parts.

If it's spider-like critters that look like rocks, I'll literally scream
For boots and skirts. Come back and enjoy Crucible man, we'll happily play with you.

Except it was Joe Wilson, not Joe Barton.

HMA is intended to get past corporate firewalls for blocked sites like Facebook and so on. It certainly ain't a TOR or similar.
Right here, http://europa.eu/about-eu/countries/index_en.htm, is listed member states of the EU, on their website. And guess who's there.

Except for Gibson having to pay twice for the ebony. Their suppliers didn't say, "Oh, your government has seized your wood, you don't owe us anymore."

Must have set the phone one on my old Nokia then, when I gave it to my mom, she was asked for my PIN and I wasn't asked on the new phone.
