You realize they use Imperial gallons there, right?
They're 20% larger than US gallons.
A Prius is rated at about 75mpg combined on the European rating system in Imperial gallons. Now, you may not get 75mpg, but you can easily 50% better fuel economy than you reported, and on a fuel which contains about 15% less energy (oil) per gallon.
Because it's a defense spending bill and there are massive political downsides to not signing a defense spending bill.
And besides, it was passed by a veto-proof majority so it wouldn't have made any difference if he didn't sign it, it would have been put into effect anyway after an override.
It didn't involve giving patents, but when Immersion sued Sony and MS over controller rumble, MS settled with Immersion, giving them money to fund their lawsuit against Sony on the condition that Immersion pay MS from the profits from that lawsuit and took part ownership. It was to remain confidential.
Later MS sued Immersion for not paying MS their money from the lawsuit. No honor among thieves I guess.
The old AT&T was broken up before ISDN to homes came along. It was the "baby bells" offering you ISDN. Although in my area I had DSL in 1996 or 7, I can't remember which. From a baby bell (Pac Bell).
No. That's not good fantasy at all. Give me a break. It's just the same thing as "The Fugitive".
You're watching "The Littlest Hobo" but with a succubus instead of a german shepherd.
I've been trying to watch Terra Nova to try to support some Sci-Fi, but I just can't be interested in the characters anymore. I feel I am letting the show down, but I also can't just waste my time if I don't enjoy it.
You say coal isn't more radioactive than other things. The argument isn't that it is.
The argument is that fly ash contains some radioactivity and that so much is emitted directly into the air by coal plants that the coal plants end up emitting more radioactivity than a nuclear power plant. And my understanding is the radioactivity comes from Carbon-14, so you don't need to find other elements in the ash as you seem to say you would.
You keep trying to re-frame this argument to demonize a single bit of fly ash. That's not what it is. It's a commentary on the massive amount of material that a coal plant emits that is not only directly pollutive but also slightly radioactive.
I'm talking about the registrar for the domain. You're right, Verisign "runs".com, but as far as I know, the US has not exerted control over.com domains that were with registrars that are outside the US.
The Library of Congress is allowed to nominate specific exemptions to the DMCA due to clauses in the DMCA. Jailbreaking was one of them. It was not a ruling, the Library of Congress isn't a court.
The USSR was up front about the limits it put on freedom.
No they weren't, the restrictions were enforced by fear and knocks on the door followed by disappearances. The USSR, much like China today claimed they were open and free. But woe to those who tried to test the limits of that.
Apple paid Apple Corps over half a billion dollars for the ability to get into the music business.
So AppleADay can follow the "promises are made to be broken" idea such as Apple Computer did, as long as they have enough money to settle with Apple Computer over what they did.
Do you think AppleADay has a half a billion dollars to throw around?
We have weeds that have evolved resistance to glyphosate in the wild. That is a much more impressive adaptation because glyphosate interferes with the production of key amino acids by plants.
I have an ivy plant on the side of my house that pays no heed to glyphosate and ordinary clover is barely affected too (google it if you don't believe me)
Glyphosate resistance isn't really as odd as people think it is.
You're talking about trying to mark the runway with reflected light? That is you are going to shine a laser light on the ice and the reflection off will somehow be bright enough to see at a distance?
I doubt that would work. The normal situation has lights which directly emit light.
That slot on a Polaroid camera was actually an edge connector. The flash bar was printed on a PCB and had gold trace "fingers" on a protruding section, like an ISA card. These are very cheap, as only one side of the connector even is a connector at all, the other is just a PCB. But they also aren't physically very strong and aren't good for a lot of insertion/removal cycles.
The iPod 30-pin has a metal shelled connector on both mating pieces. These are more precise, last longer and with the a latch system (present on some iPod cables, not others) physically strong. You can hang an iPod Mini easily from a latched 30-pin connector while the Polaroid flash bars fell out without even putting weight on them.
Also note Steve Jobs didn't design Apple's 30-pin connector, Donald J Novotney did.
The cores are under 100C but only as long as they spray extra amounts of water on them from above?
I think the idea of cold shutdown is the reactor is shut down and even if left alone it wouldn't overheat. But this doesn't sound like the case here.
Normally you'd shove the control rods in and slow the reactions until not enough heat is generated to overheat even without special cooling (perhaps just immersed). But the cores are too melted for that I presume. They're going to have to chip the slag into smaller pieces and physically separate them before they really start producing less heat.
You are allowed to protest pretty much anywhere if you do so peacefully. At certain big events where there is expected to be disruption and not peaceful protest (like the anti-WTO protests) there are designated free speech zones.
Yes, these free speech zones are far out of the way and not conducive to protest.
You thinking that in the US you cannot protest anywhere else would be equivalent to me looking at the Speaker's Corner article on wikipedia and concluding there is no free speech or protest legally allowed outside a few tiny regions of England.
The Dutch one is too lightweight. And having the sides fold might seem like a great idea, but when you stack 4 more containers on it and go crashing through waves, you have to start wondering if it's going to fold up when it isn't supposed to.
Also, a roll-up door on the end? You must be kidding me. What happens when the contents shift? You may end up with something leaning on the door and keeping it from rolling up or just flat out bending the door so it won't roll. The sturdy doors of a standard container (or the Indian one) are stronger and open outward so you don't have to give up space inside for the door tracks and stowage space.

You can register a .com with non-US registrars. And then your domain cannot be seized by the US government.
The US doesn't have sole jurisdiction over .com domains, only over .coms registered with US registrars.
So it is an international shared resource.
I dunno about the SSDs and such. Bulk HDDs used to be in there, so I have to imagine SSDs are now.
The data doesn't come from an Oak Ridge Labs newsletter or Alex Gabbard.

It was already published in Science magazine in 1978.
Coal plants cause more deaths due to radioactivity (statistically) than nuclear plants. Even in this year, with Fukushima blowing up.
No, per gram fly ash doesn't contain more radioactivity. But coal plants emit a lot more fly ash in a year than nuclear plants consume fuel.
You're paranoid. The DMCA allows reverse engineering for research.

Some people will start to exhibit altitude sickness even at 8,000 feet.
Even if the ports aren't the same, what's the harm in your article? I don't get the hate.
