Problem with that argument is that in order to so, a totally digital audio reproduction path is needed, with digital all the way to the voice coil or peizo plate in the speaker. Video can be replaced since digital LCD panels can use proprietary drivers to switch individual pixels and capturing that requires capturing the light and colour from each pixel element. Until someone can invent a non-electrially driven sound element, capturing that single electrical signal is a simple task, even if it means sacrificing a pair of Beatz (oh the Horror!!!)
We fell into the thousand separator trap. The 1,142 million is actually 1142 million or 1.142 billion. The article has the non-separator number which is more globally recognized.
It would appear so, unless by a slim-to-none the editors of the submission stuffed up and it should be 1.1 million as given in the summary itself. </sarcasm> My kingdom for a good Slashdot editor.
South African here, we actually dismantled our nuclear weapons program well before apartheid ended in 1994, it was only announced then once the international inspectors were allowed in. I think the end of the program started in 1988 and took two years to complete.
Officially it was ended to build peace and stability in the region after the end of the Angolan war, but there are whispers in the air that it was done to prevent the ANC from getting their hands on WMDs and possibly selling them on to the highest bidder.
Bell 206 BIII chopper, pilot plus 4 passengers with a Rolls Royce Allison turbine engine. According to the specs, it can take 4 passengers 100 miles in 50 minutes at a fuel usage of around 40 gallons.
Compare that to a VW Bluemotion with a claimed efficiency of 60 mpg, and a probable real world traffic efficiency of 45 mpg. So real world 100 mile journey would be say 2.2 gallons and a 110 minute journey. If each passenger in the chopper did the journey seperately, then you're still only looking at 10 gallons of fuel compared to the 40 gallons for the Bell.
And that doesn't take into account the capital cost of a $400000 chopper versus a $40000 car.
It's a vulnerability created by the intense desire to have an app control the switch via a remote server. For whatever brain-damaged reason, the app can't talk straight to the device, it has to go via the manufacturer's servers, and they do it via unencrypted channels that can be sniffed.
That's what is going to kill us all, IoT devices that in order to switch on something, or change a pretty colour or anything, have to go to the bloody cloud to do it.
Volvo is the confident one, they had a truck fleet drive itself across Europe a couple of months back. I suspect they are getting ahead of Google and the rest quietly and carefully in that laid-back Swedish way.
Don't know about the unsafe part, but the decision to dump the pool was partly made to allow the judges and spectators to see the synchronized swimmers in action.
The evidence for the Higgs Boson didn't disappear, it was possible evidence for a heavier particle than Higgs that has been shown to be a statistical fluke.
You know your apartment isn't sealed? Otherwise you'd be dead from oxygen deprivation. CFCs doesn't settle onto the walls and floors, it remains in the air inside the apartment which then makes its way outside when you open doors, windows etc later.
I would say there's a difference between the two comments, directed attack against an individual versus a general attack, and one that is read as a joke these days, against the GOP as a whole.
What would be telling is if you posted something like "DEM party is a communist miser bastard party." and see what that gets you.
Or try "Trump deserves prison for stealing from college students.".
Gotta align the statements to claim the difference in behavior. I suspect the same reactions from the same sites as you got will happen, but who knows.
The delay is caused by the NSA chap having to log off so you aren't suspicious about the mouse moving by itself. Normally they can see you coming into the room, but that depends on whether you have your webcam taped over.
The missing mass is at a galactic level, not at the universe level. Stars in the galaxies, including our own, are moving too fast in their orbits around the galactic core to not shoot off into the space between galaxies if only visible matter is assumed to account for the gravity of each galaxy holding the stars in their orbits.
Other than the gravitation of each galaxy required to be 1000% of what the visible matter contributes, nothing we do to the existing formulas for gravity can account for it without changing the entire dynamics of the universe to something that doesn't match the observations.
The source for the missing 90% gravity isn't visible as stars, dust, planets, gas etc and we've coined the term dark matter as a category to describe this source.
These new dim galaxies cannot contribute to the dark matter as it is required in the structure of all galaxies. It might assist with understanding inflation as that is a universe-wide effect.
Drones like the S1000 from DJI are 4kg body weight with max TOW of 11kg. That's like being hit by two candian geese. Not all of the drones out there are the 2 pound toys and it's the big ones that are the risks.
Now you know better. Next time you can finish that cup of coffee and the BLT before going to sort out the problem. It will still be well within the new BT-defined brief outage and nobody can complain at you.
Dear Mr Old and Obnoxious astronomer, please take note that tele doesn't refer to the visible spectrum of light, nor does it refer to electromagnetic radiation. It is a prefix coming from the Greek word tele meaning far.
The second part of the word, scope, is derived from the Latin and Greek words scopium and skopein meaning to look at
So the combined word telescope means to look at far/distant, nothing more, nothing less, and that is why we have optical telescopes (for optical distant viewing), radio telescopes (for distant radio viewing) and so forth.
So while you are correct that MeerKAT is a radio interferometer, as is any observing system using multiple imagers, it is a telescope as it is looking at distant objects.
The IP68 specification describes an 8 for water penetration resistance as being able to take submersion in between 1m and 10m water depth (depth to be specified by the manufacturer) for 30 minutes. Samsung specifies 5 feet in their documentation.
There is one possible problem with the Consumer Reports test, they talk about pressurizing a water tank to 2.12 PSI to simulate 5 foot of water. The issue arises if they are measuring the pressure of the air being used to pressurize the tank and not the resultant pressure at bottom of the tank.
If the tank is 1 foot deep and you pressurize the surface to 2.12 PSI, then the resultant pressure will be equivalent to the 1 foot actual depth plus the 5 foot simulated depth because the static head pressure is still present unless you're in zero g.
If they aren't measuring the pressure from the bottom of the tank, then they've tested the phone beyond the rated depth.
The idea isn't for the chickens to be eaten, it's to bootstrap a chicken farm for the person in their local area. So you'd probably get 10 hens and 2 cocks and some training on how to feed and farm them for meat, how to get the hens fertilized and laying, then how to hatch and raise the chicks. It's an attempt to get a self-sufficient cycle going. How good an idea or how feasible it might be is left to your discernment.

Five-nines on the Florida count is 59.63 votes, not 3000. The deciding margin was on the 5.9 million votes in Florida, not the entire country.
Cylinders always did.

But when I experiment with fire, I get called a pyromaniac and an arsonist and have to run from police. It is discrimination I tell ya.
BAH HUMBUG!!

News24 in South Africa had the official peroxide explanation on the 14th already. http://www.sport24.co.za/OtherSport/Olympics2016/rio-diving-pool-drained-of-green-water-20160814
If the bottom end of Africa had it then, then the world had it.

Well since you're supposed to get wiser with age, does this accelerate the wising-up process?
