Because if you are really trying to solve AGW, well, there is nothing to solve, because we are not going to stop catastrophic warming. I mean, years ago they were saying we have just just 3 years to save the planet, and such like, and yet a decade later we are still trying to get the world to agree to some such. Add up the calories, it doesn't matter if you "must do something" or "must make a start" or "head in the right direction"... we will not get there, the warming is locked in, and the amount we can reduce it by is negligible at this point.
The idea is to stop *further* warming other than what is locked in. And yes we can make a huge difference.
"Are you suggesting that you lie to your boss and take sick time when you're not sick?"
And what if you are sick and it's an ailment that the sensors don't pick up, that could be very awkward and end up with your boss calling you a liar and telling you to get to work when you really are ill.
"Any router that is easily p0wned should be banned."
This isn't necessarily known until the vulnerability is found, are routers to be banned on the basis of whether they have the latest firmware update? If you ban a router that doesn't have the latest firmware update then it's potentially much harder to then download the firmware update.
What would an ISP do, disconnect all of it's customers the moment a vulnerability is found in their routers? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
If the vulnerability is in a IOT-device then how does the user know when said device is banned, are they supposed to check a register of thousands of banned devices every day?
" President-elect makes spelling error in belligerent tweet
China says negotiations âbetween two militariesâ(TM) are ongoing President-elect Donald Trump has risked further inflaming US relations with China, after he used Twitter on Saturday to accuse China of an âoeunpresidented [sic] actâ in its seizing of an unmanned American submarine this week."
Is it wrong I'm suspicious as to the actual nature of this drone?
I find it odd that the US govt has got it's feathers ruffled, if it was just an unmanned 'weather drone' then why kick up such a big fuss? Also, is this the Obama administrations way of provoking Trump in to saying / tweeting new stupid things about China?
The question is how much of that $2 billion loss is investment into long term company infrastructure and investment into expanding into new markets and how much of if is annual costs. The article doesn't seem to answer that question.
Wrong again, people have literally died in the UK after not being able to get benefits. THEY DID DIE because they weren't getting a wage and you can't just demand a job it doesn't work that way and you know it so why the bullshit?
I was under the impression that Uber cabs turns a profit, it certainly should do when they take a 30% cut and do very little beyond supply and app and take the money, customer service from uber is dismal - they don't spend much money on it. Then billions they lose is loss-leading in new countries AFAIK, I expect the share-holders understand that.

That was my thought, they could sell half at auction and sets of cheap tickets could go into a raffle for people who want a chance at cheap tickets. Also, I fail to see how ticket-master can't spot individuals buying large quantities of tickets, surely it should be obvious when 1 buyer tries to buy dozens of tickets that they are for resale. I don't think they care.
gah, I thought fuel cells held enough hydrogen to do the job. Still I don't see why trucks can't carry hydrogen containers.. but they don't make sense unless they are more energy dense / cheaper than batteries in this case. Upside of hydrogen is it could be created from renewable energy when that energy is in over-supply and cheap.
1. And? You forgot the minus signs for F and C. 2. Are you telling me they can't put it in a tank designed to store liquid hydrogen? 3. OK. 4. So what, it's not like having a 4x bigger tank is a problem, or by factor of 4 did you mean 1000x as it could be read.
Your post seems to be trying to say it's not possible without actually having any good reasons why.
I expect they do have some clout what with that $11+ billion a year profits to spend. I doubt they'd bother trying to stop a common cold cure by this method though unless they could find side-affects with the cure.

Note the area required is smaller now because the technology has improved and there's still lots of potential for further improvements.

Fallacies. More than one.
Like hacking into one pc and saying 'hi' causing their firm to have to spend 2 million upgrading all their pcs security.... or sharing 20 tunes.
Except that Google, Apple, MS et al might have to fix the vulnerabilities if this info is released which it probably will be.

I RTFA and it's very light on details. You basically have to guess that:
1. The researchers used an expensive 'digital camera' with a good optical zoom.
2. The lighting is just right.
3. They zoomed in on the fingerprints.
Otherwise the GP post is right, this really wouldn't apply to 99.999+% of photos taken.
Or, take a picture of something from 3meters away and see what you get when you load that image onto a computer and zoom in to it.
Movies DRM'd? Need internet connection to watch?

Well, that didn't take long...

Article is wrong, rebooting does not fix the issue.
The question is how much of that $2 billion loss is investment into long term company infrastructure and investment into expanding into new markets and how much of if is annual costs. The article doesn't seem to answer that question.

Like Microsoft was?
Wrong. Very wrong.
Jobs don't grow on trees, if you voluntarily quit your job then the benefits system can decide not to give you any money for 6 months.
So how are you going to eat? That is pretty much being forced to work in your current job.

I guess that's why they don't use tanks and use fuel cells instead then.

Fair enough, but I just don't think colds are worth immunising against and they might have health benefits.

And that'd be far worse than having a cold. Colds aren't such a bad thing (flu different).
