I've always wondered why we put proprietary/critical design/ect. stuff on systems connected to the the internet in any way shape or form. If that design is critical to your future business why not keep it on a completely closed internal network?
...and drop your cable or dish. I estimate that is the money saved over the last 14 years I've lived without either service. For the cost of cable we can enjoy an additional night out with the family each week.
Actually, they know the that the autopilot disengaged due to the pitot tubes from error code data that was transmitted from the plane to a satellite then to Air Bus before the crash. What they did not have was other telemetry like, power settings, speed, positions of the control surfaces.
A> Hey why are you sitting on the ceiling?
B> I’ve lost the faith.
A> In God?
B> No, gravityI just can not accept it’s existence - it fails upon recursive logic. So how do you stay so grounded?
A> I believe in turtles.
"The scientific teams are "very, very close to proving there is or has been life [on Mars]," said David McKay, chief of astrobiology at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, in a Spaceflight Now interview."
Shouldn't the conclusion follow from the experiment or data?
Wow...I need more coffee, now I see all my typographical errors after I posted...Does Azimov have any short stories on rediscovering the English language! Sheesh!
My first though when I saw this was an Azimov short "the Felling of Power":
"[after the rediscovery the humans can do math in there heads]...And I see something even beyond this. It may be fantastic now, a mere dream, but in the future I see the manned missile!"
There was an instant murmur from the audience.
The general drove on. "At the present time, our chief bottleneck is the fact that missiles are limited in intelligence. The computer controlling them can only be so large, and for that reason they can meet the changing nature of antimissile defenses in a unsatisfactory way. Few missiles, if any, accomplish their goal, and missile warfare is coming to a dead end; for the enemy , fortunately as well as for ourselves.
"On the other hand, a missile with a man or two within, controlling flight by graphitics, would be lighter, more mobile, more intelligent. It would give us a lead that might well mean the margin of victory. Besides which, gentlemen, the exigencies of war compel us to remember one thing. A man is much more dispensable than a computer. Manned missiles could be launched in numbers and under circumstances that no good general would care to undertake as far as computer-directed missiles are concerned-"
Why is it we are appalled at the Chinese Government's heavy handed censorship yet every capitalist business participates in a similar use of an asymmetry of information? You don't know what I do therefore you pay me to for access/product/whatever and I don't know what you know so the same applies in reverse!
Yes, I prefer that I have as free access to as much information as possible.
Let's RTFA a bit: "'Based on our calculations, it appears that some buckyballs are capable of holding volumes of hydrogen so dense as to be almost metallic,' said lead researcher Boris Yakobson"..."If a feasible way to produce hydrogen-filled buckyballs is developed, Yakobson said, it might be possible to store them as a powder."
What a difference one word can make in a summary. News flash, "Miss Universe can have sex with Slashdot users! According to simulations conducted with fold-out pictures in Randy's basement..um...research center"
The simulation work is pretty cool, the headline and summary can and does mislead the reader.
Why are you flaming the author? Yes I RTFA. Taking an essay by a brilliant and insightful person then writing down how those insights translate to your specific situation is a self educational process and can lengthen the retention of the lessons learned (Hmm..sound familiar...some classic petegogy here). It is a personal blog and the author is summarizing the lessons he takes away from the Feynman report, the author is not trying to garner coattail genius status.
Various degrees of learning and retention can be achieved through both writen and verbal communication.
Everyone is so focused on Google spectrum chatter they forget that the minimum but of 4.6 billion is not an astronomical sum with respect to current corporate conditions. You don't go to an auction and blab about what your willing to pay for the item of interest - all your competitors now have some critical information on what you are willing to pay. Who may be lurking in the shadows that could also purchase the spectrum space? Let the conspiracies start: Microsoft, GE, Exxon-Mobile, Apple, Hedge Fund companies, Lockheed, McDonald-Douglas, Motorola...
I bet there are may players we are not discussing that are holding their cards close.
O.k. I agree it is not an either-or proposition. Gehry and the Bigbox example are on the polar extremes with respect to architecture. Gehry has a cohort of structural engineers who do computer simulations of his designs to make sure they will not fail due to stress such as high winds or occupation by humans, etc. His buildings are sculptures first then sculptures second, and if you can make use of the building that's a bonus!
This is just my opinion....MIT wanted an architect who's design philosophy parallels MIT's institutional values, that is, very forward thinking far beyond mundane pragmatism. But the sword has two edges, they got very unique building which leaks! Cheers.
If you want art you get art. If you want a higly functional building that will have minimal maintance and which can be expanded or repurposed as the furture dictates you can hardly beat a bix box building. MIT chose art.
If you live your life righteously said humor should roll off your back like water on a duck. If you live your life self righteously then such humor will enrage you. If I'm misreading you then my heartfelt apologies to you. Good day.

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting down.

"Several Chinese research groups quickly found related materials...."
Were those Chinese researh groups at US univeristies or actually in China?
I work in a metallurgical research lab. We have lots of Molybdenum - but things seem pretty lifeless around here!

Toyota Robot edges out John Edwards and is in a dead heat with Clinton and Obama with potential Iowa Caucus voters.
Another poll indicates 100% support from electronic voting machines in all states.

In a side note: both students were offered jobs in H.Clinton's voter registration drive. Diebold is offering voting machine programing internships...

Vegans are starving in droves after learning that plants have human altruism.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
