A collision could cut the tether and wreck the space elevator. Not to mention hurling whomever/whatever is the payload into space with the force of the largest man-made slingshot.
It's likely that the new charge storage system won't simply be a drop in replacement for your current batteries. It will probably require new control and charging electronics. This isn't just a battery, it delivers varying amounts of voltage depending on it's charge.
I can't imagine fliers will go for that. Sometimes to be blazingly efficient we have to sacrifice a little bit of comfort, don't we? This brings to mind a certain distro where everything is "optimized" for "speed". Hmm.
I think its funny that telcos don't guarantee full availability of phone service in a certain area. For example if my whole neighborhood picked up the phone at the same time some people wouldn't be able to get through, telcos aren't required to have a line for each person at the same time.
Its funny actually, in the SIFT algorithm (detects scale invariant keypoints in an image, used for panorama stitching, computer vision, etc), it uses a Gaussian blur as part of the detection process. It uses multiple levels to better find invariant keypoints. While havening the unblurred image certainly helps, its not necessary.
Gates said students will want to try Microsoft's tools because they're more powerful than the open-source combination of Linux-based operating systems, the Apache Web server, the MySQL database and the PHP scripting language used to make complex Web sites. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA. Where did you guys get this guy he's funny!
I think this is actually true in some cases. I once worked on some 2.4ghz radios from a certain vendor, and if you forgot the admin password you could expose them to the net and they could "unlock" them (YIKESOMG). They also had a version where you gave them the MAC of the radio and they gave you a special "unlock" password over the phone. Yea. It wasn't even random either, it was an english word iirc. The world of proprietary network gear = ugh. I prefer building them myself using Soekris or similar.
I agree completely. I would rather have the computer do the stuff in software as well, proprietary encryption is like proprietary hardware raid, its just Not Safe(TM).
...until your pop bottle takes out communications for half the world.
Seriously though, is there some sort of space-object database that people have to register or check with when they send things to space? I mean everyone should be aloud to launch things into space...but they should make sure they don't blow a hole in someones space station.
Its not like "any other Web content provider". Google does not provide content. It provides links to content created by others, that's its job and its doing it very well.

Is that your Silicon Resonating or are you just happy to see me?
World of Chorecraft!
Yea, its ActiveXploit at work :/

No, but we can (and will) compare watts to power!

How can a programming library look like crap? Oohhh, you must be talking about the default theme you didn't bother to change, gotcha.

Or, as they say, there is no such thing as a patent without a troll.
It's only for autoupdate and installing automatically downloaded updates.
Because, then you have X "wasted" satellites in orbit...only one is being used at a given time. Its silly not to make it geosync.
It might be fine for learning the new layout, but apparently actually typing on these is a pain.
Hey, if the tech industry keeps this kind of thing up, we might see a demo of Duke Nukem forever soon!
...they just throttle them into oblivion.
I've been using something like this for awhile, its called "dd" (run as root for extra goodness).

Its not the same thing. We're talking about encryption in the device (apparently), so its done before it hits the computer.
