88 MPH = necessary momentum to breach the replusive event horizon
How do I know the event horizon is replusive?
Doc Brown goes to great lenghts to avoid changing the time line
Since anything from the future can change the time line, everything that comes through must be accounted for and returned before being noticed by anyone.
If the event horizon was easy to pass through, anything near the car at the event horizon could pass through, 1985 rubbish floating around, germs, people or animals etc
Since, for example, no 1985 coke can was ever found in 1955 we know nothing else passed through the horizon on at least 12 time travel trips shown in the 3 films (although not all the trips were future -> past)
Therefore anything which wasn't either in the car or physically attached to the outside car went couldn't go through and so there must be some minimum force needed to push through the horizon.
Individuals might actually benefit: If vat-grown meat could be made cheaper than existing mass production, the only use for cows would be in producing organic-branded products.
I myself switched to being largely veggie due to this issue a few years back. I haven't given up meat completely but my intake has been cut by 5/7th.
What I have found since doing it is that I feel healthier and I don't seem to crave meet as much. My original plan was to cut out meet during the week and allow myself what ever I fancied at the weekend simply because it was easier to track that way intake that way. However 2 years on and I don't always eat meet every weekend, not to say I couldn't eat meat more often I just don't miss it as much as I thought I would.
I don't think humans need anyway near as much meat as we consume in the western world. Prehaps simply reducing intake would be enough.
Current food yields in the western world are produced through the use of Fossil Fuels, both as a fuel source and as a chemical source for Fertizilers and pest/herb-icides.
Peak oil is going to change argicultural yields and affordability.
It's a bit of a straw man arguement, because we aren't simply going switch to vat grown meat overnight, so we aren't going to need to suddenly dump millions of cattle into an enviroment they aren't equiped to deal with.
It will be a gradual thing, with less and and less cattle being bred each year as the quantity of vat meat increases (if it ever gets accepted of course).
Ultimately it may mean the extinction of whole breeds, but I don't think individuals will suffer any more than they already do under intensive farming methods.
How many stories have there been where photographers have been arrested because they have a DSL camera taking pictures of landmarks.
The RC doesn't have to be a weapon, it could just be about large scale surveillance either before an attack or during one of those armed gang rampage attacks which seem to be becoming more popular compared to just a suicide bomb.
It doesn't even have to be terrorist, good old fashioned bank robbers would kill (hopefully not literaly) to get that sort of intel during a robbery.
I suspect the uncanny valley response in humans is an early warning system against communicable illnesses, we react adversely to anything which doesn't quite fit into the way a person is meant to look or behave both of which could indicate infection before more overt signals can be seen such as more obvious skin discolouration, sweating, physical reactions such as coughing and sneezing etc.
If my suspicion is correct then the only other animals which would experience a strong uncanny valley effect would need to be
a) Heavily Influenced by the Visual Sense
b) Social Animals where communicable disease represents a serious threat
Any animal which can rely heavily on another sense to identify potential illness, smell being the most obvious one, probably doesn't need uncanny valley response because they would have more direct evidence of illness.
Do you seriously think that any anti-net neutrality legislation would be rubber-stamped if even 1000 people gathered outside of the capital and refused to leave until their voices were heard? 10,000? 100,000? A million?
I'm not a USian, but based on our UK goverments approach to demostrations, peaceful or violent rioting. Yes, Yes I do.
If you're peaceful you are easy to ignore, if you are violent you have to be ignored because otherwise the government is seen to negioated with violent protestors which will just encourage more violence in future. Nice little Catch-22.
That wouldn't have helped here, my understanding is that the password were hashed but not salted. So once the hackers had downloaded the hashed password all they had to do was compare the resulting hash strings with a database with precompiled password hashes (Lookup Rainbow Tables).
For example, using MD5 hashing. password always comes out as 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 so if you ever see that string in a password file, you know the user password = password.
The way around this is to salt the hash with a second string, known only by the website authentication function so that the password has become MD5(salt value + password) rather than just MD5(password). This creates unique strings which are much longer than can feasibly attacked by a Rainbow Table.
it seems to me it may be a short-lived attack. It's sort of dependent on how many people just *happen* to leave their internet browsers open on just the right page for long periods of time. How many would that be?
Since the attack is being run by the top level page, and the page the user is looking at is in an iframe, wouldn't following most links in the iframe loaded page just load the new page in the iframe as well. i.e. the frameset page is still in the background running the attack even after the user has moved away from the original URL shorten link.
To break out of it, the user would have to either type an address in the address bar, or follow a bookmark, or restart the browser.
Men with good relationships in childhood and young adulthood did better in almost every facet of their lives than did those with poor relationships: income, social status, marital status, health, etc. etc.
From the effciency/cost argument. I think they are arguing that with enough of these things buzzing around, you don't need such a massive road network. People always forget about the cost of building and maintaining roads because the cost is largely externalised to the user, most roads are paid for with tax of some sort or other and so is free at the point of use, but it's still a massive cost and environmentally damaging.
A large number of small airports would just need the few hundred meters of runway and a road leading from the port to the town.
I don't know whether that financially makes sense given you wouldn't be able to completely give up on the road network to allow for intercity heavy freight, you would only be able to reduce the capacity by removing the large number of commuter vehicles.
These things wouldn't need TSA, they are planned to be fully automous vehicles, assigned a route by central computer so that it doesn't intersect any other flight path, it's not like they are going to have a flight stick in the central console that you can assume manual control over. Even if you can find a way of directly controlling the flight of the plane, I suspect it would be trival to have a remote override to kill the engines and deploy the parachute.
If you cannot control the vehicle, can't hurt anyone else because of the low number of people on board and a fairly obvious way for a remote controller to completely disable the plane even if you do somehow control the plane, why would you need TSA at all?
My Blacklist is not only about protecting myself from problems in the future.
It's also about not wanting to give money in the present for companies who have proven themselves untrustworthy in the past.
Its a form of punishment, the only tool I legally have to hit them with (as small as that hit will be). Maybe I could buy a secondhand reader when my current reader (Cybook Gen3) finally dies, hopefully many years from now.
Isn't the only way to load your own books onto a kindle via the kindle web interface. If they have to load it onto your device then they would be able to remove it as well.
I don't know, Amazon are a recent addition to my blacklist, but Sony has been on that list for a long time because of the CD root kit fiasco.
It prevented me from buying a PS3 a few years ago.
Does Sony deserve a second chance if their ebook readers are more open?

oops, it's just the stylesheet that needs javascript, I guess the site was just being slashdotted.
Wow, a site which doesn't load anything without javascript being enabled. It's been a while since I saw one of those.

Heavy metals are heavy. toxic chemicals are so much lighter.

Thats right, but that means that you no longer expect the Spanish Inquistion.....

as opposed to needing road into every driveway?
No, you can download the books for use in Offline readers, once you have, there is no mechanism for pulling them back.

Perhaps the end credits should say "4 Animators were killed making this film, and 1 suffered really nasty RSI in his index finger."
This is the first Slashdot headline that actually made me laugh out loud,.
Isn't that what mass disobience is, only without the violent overtones as espoused by Gandi?
