This is a good watch, although it is not in relation to the shadow detection of insects. It is discussing the laser based insect control but it is still frequency based for identification:
For years now we have heard that the high diesel emissions requirements here in the states have been preventing the direct importing of the plentiful European diesel cars. I've heard that the diesel emissions are a large contributer to this smog, particularly NOx.
Does not change my opinion that we need more diesels on the road.
By all means increase speed, however if gains can be made on power consumption, connection latency, call clarity, cost of implementation, ect. I would suspect these items would be more beneficial than raw speed increases. Particularly with the internet of things concept, if it can cost pennies and miliamps to connect your toaster to the internet wirelessly then lets connect everything.
My experience is that low end hardware is painful on Android, with memory being the largest issue. All web browsers on my work phone with 512mb ram crash after a handful of tabs are open (ironically, the no longer developed Opera mobile copes the best).
The issue for me is that it isn't even branded yet. If it felt like the original Opera I would give it a chance, but so many features are missing I am still using 12.
Meanwhile, on my work phone (Android 2.3 , 1.4GHz processor and 512 MB ram) Opera Mobile is the only browser that does not crash when multiple tabs are open. WebKit is fast, but Opera wins when it comes to memory.
Govt should TAX the bulbs they want people not to use. Revenues can go directly to environmental work to offset the inefficiencies, and you do not need to find money from somewhere else for a subsidy.
I would prefer to see it ported to Nexus devices, as it appears that they are the standard for development operating systems. Ubuntu's phone's demo has been on the Nexus 4, and I believe there has been similar efforts with FirefoxOS.
Plus, I want a reason to buy the Nexus 5.
If you are a student or unemployed (or lie) you can use any of Autodesk's software for free. Personally I have trouble thinking in meshes, I learned parasolids from my intro CAD courses and when I try Blender or 3dsMax I get mad at the logic behind them.
One thing you have not mentioned is if you have CAM software. I am not satisfied with free CAM solutions, and if you do need to buy CAM software you may want to consider BobCAD, which is affordable for the hobbyst but can make cutterpaths also.
I'm writing my thesis in LyX as I post, and it is a very good option for writing a technical paper. However, the posted article is dealing with collaboration tools, which is something the LyX team has been striving for (it tracks changes currently), but is still lacking. When the installation requires MikTex or Texlive it is a large program and difficult to encourage new users to join in.
I am finishing my master's thesis and have used Gnumeric for all of my work, it is an effective spreadsheet although it is missing some features from Excel (to the frustration of my advisor).
The plugins are written in Python, and while I have not used them extensively they seem to be quite powerful compared to creating Excel macros.
In college (2009) in my house of 10 we had a private server for TF2, file serving, the likes. We were spending 100 USD a month on the Internet business connection, and whenever I tried to pull a file remotely the connection would grind to a halt or I would need to throttle back to pitiful speeds. I still have the server box, and keep thinking of putting it back online, but to have any decent connection I just cannot afford it in my new apartment.
Floater holidays would have the same issue with the days between Christmas and New Year - You don't have the time off, but unofficially you are expected to take it off.
I know that it isn't true in all cases, but I have seen a number of cases where you just cannot do any work on those days because no one is in the office. An even more extreme case is the Friday after Thanksgiving, when security had the day off so engineering couldn't enter the building.

We should build a dino-chicken right now! Just not one that weighs 250kg.

I don't know about the DRM server bit, even with disks games still require DRM servers.

Not to steal the OP's thunder, but I use Jitsi for multi-platform video chat. jitsi.org
Somehow Gecko missed the copy paste bus. Still only two big players (I love Dillo, but it is missing a few features)
Considering how closely tied Blink KHTML and WebKit are the choices are quite limited.

I believe there is a documentary on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancelled_(South_Park)

I think I've seen these circular farms before... that is right, they are in Arizona: https://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=32.930174,+-111.924419&num=1&t=h&vpsrc=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&z=13&iwloc=A
I was looking to purchase some TSLA, here is my opportunity.

He did a TED Talk on the Chickenosaurus which is pretty entertaining

Easter is not a federal holiday. I have not received Easter off of work yet.
This is why I would like to see some money go towards Sage, allowing it to better replace Matlab in the future.
For me it is XBMC in addition to emulators. I want to play Mario Kart on my television again, but my SNES is long gone.
