"Sigh. There's so much wrong with your post it's not even funny"
Well, that's okay, as you're so out of touch with reality in regards to bandwidth-sucking TYPICAL 'normal user' activities that your own post is completely wrong as well. Learn what HD VIDEO ON YOUTUBE/NETFLIX/VIMEO is capable of doing bandwidth-wise. Oh that's just normal stuff. Now pop on Facebook/Myspace/G+/searching/probably torrenting a couple movies at the same time (everyone fucking knows about the piratebay now) And don't forget that quite often you're doing one pipeline to a whole family, which can EASILY wipe out a 100mbit downlink (I do it with myself and my fiance alone.)
" You are completely and utterly wrong, and clearly ignorant about how Box.com works"
Welcome to your own stupidity. Mr. I'm going to keep sensitive fucking information unencrypted on the cloud.
You should get out of the Tech game. The fact your slashdot UID is 7 digits long (not to mention nearly in the 3 million range) pretty much shows what you know - nothing.
We tried 'cloud' tech with WYSE back in the 90s. Guess what failed fucking miserably back then?
"Until an antitoxin is available, the sequence of this new neurotoxin will not be published,"
So we're going to keep this secret so we can capitalize on it for patent purposes.
"Those studying botulin toxins need to know about this discovery, but given the molecular biology tools available to people, publishing the sequence (or making samples of the organism available) would be asking for potentially major trouble."
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. The people that could actually do anything about this have the equipment the bad people don't usually fucking have, and could create a working antitoxin far faster than the idiot bad guys could weaponize the toxin.
AND IT'S FUCKING BOTULISM. Unless this toxin is somehow made as an airborne weapon, your only real chance of getting this shit into your system is eating contaminated food.
I can read between lines. I'm a working scientist. The whole tone of the response is pure cover ass for the scientific community playing with the DHS.
" In fact both mini and micro USB are bad designs, they do not sit firmly in the socket"
I'm not seeing any wiggle here on my Pantech or ZTE Score phones. Pretty fucking solid.
"micro USB connectors have a tendency to break off the little plastic contact plate inside the socket"
Quit trying to insert it from an angle like every moron does.
"There is nothing more annoying than to have an expensive USB device bricked by a broken micro USB socket or getting a brand new USB drive that you can hardly touch during a data transfer for fear of the connection breaking thanks to a crappy connector."
Wow, must be total bliss to not know how to use a soldering iron or reflow air gun for 10 seconds to replace a broken jack. Turn your geek card in.
"There are actually devices with micro USB sockets that are so crappy you can push the micro USB connector into them up-side-down"
Those aren't following proper specification, then. Kodak is especially guilty of crap like this.
"Design a "mobile USB" standard, that is durable, orients either way,"
And totally ignore physics with regards to how DC voltage works and increase complexity with the need for polarity rectification either built into the devices or built into the cable. Gotcha.
That was more of an accident than military funded. Sulphur got dropped on some hot rubber and it was found to be tougher. From there, military went in, but the patent was well before the military (before the civil war, IIRC) thought about getting involved.
"You might have missed the "people without the resources to defend themselves" part"
You might have missed the 'prior legal precedent' part. Bigger corps have successfully defended themselves and made that established. There's no going against it. That means the smaler person without the moeny to defend themselves simply points to that for defense.
Slashdot Mirror
"If you easily cap out a 100mbit pipe, then you are in a very small percentile of internet users. "
Go tell that to the millions of regular people worldwide using Camfrog.
Back to your cave, child.
" ISP's are asking you to pay $4+/MBit/s and getting away with it."
Pssssht. I'm paying less than $1 per megabit. 100 mbit line for 80 a month.
As someone that's got the certification plus chemistry experience, your MSDS means jack shit in the face of established reality.

Go back to failing.
"In a datacenter you do not buy per MB"
" offer a 1 Gbps dedicated line with a 100TB monthly transfer limit for $200/month"
Sounds like paying per MB to me, and the only real kicker is how fucking fast you can get it.
"For the Model S lithium-ion battery, it was correct to apply water"
As someone certified for Class D and E fires (metal and radioactive, respectively) - WRONG MOVE.
" There was no proximate ignition source - maybe some static electricity in the lab."
Likely because hydrogen and a few isotopes of it self-heat when they expand. Doubt it was static that ignited your fuel.
You have not participated in the study on this site that measured comment quality and overall intelligence of the posts made, correlated with UIDs.
Once you hit the million mark, it's roughly a 40 point IQ drop.

Moron.
" Plants get carbon out of the air,"
Not entirely. The roots do intake raw elemental carbon as well, and this was proven by putting carbon nanotubes into soil mixes.

Missing critical information? Can't reproduce results? Toss it the fuck away. This will teach them to not be in bed with the government.
" Also ROM based games can have bit rot"
Oh jesus here we go with this nonsense term. It's called transistor failure, for fuck's sake.
He will NEVER build a perfect SNES emulator.
And here's why.
You're not gong to emulate how the movement of electrons changes with temperature increase/decrease of the actual silicon.
Perfect emulation, my ass. Impossible.
You lack knowledge of anything, specifically specifications.
Continue being an idiot, and a coward without a name.
Sure you can mirror it on the other side, but now you've introduced added design complexity.
You've gone off-spec from the standard if you've done that.

From what I saw in the portal 2 demo there appeared to be some sort of 'swipe inertial motion' going on.
Might take just a tiny bit of getting used to, but this could actually work.
I'm actually impressed.
So just send the signal over HDMI and send the audio over RCA. PS3 lets you do that.
" I don't know why the article says "starting this November""
All that University education and you can't see through some deceptive marketing?
I fear for the future of education.
" Vulcanized rubber"
That was more of an accident than military funded. Sulphur got dropped on some hot rubber and it was found to be tougher. From there, military went in, but the patent was well before the military (before the civil war, IIRC) thought about getting involved.
I went when you could actually FLY, from Huntsville to Macon. It counts towards your pilot license as well.
All you get now is simulated crap.
