That's kind of like saying the victim of a firey car crash died of heart failure, when the real reason was that they were burnt to a crisp. Sure, their heart stopped at some point, but I'd say the flesh melting from their entire body may have been a contributing factor.
Assuming, of course, that heart failure wasn't the factor that caused them to get into a firey car crash.
To play ridiculous devil's advocate, you know when you are in sunlight and how bright it is.
Therefore, you know the sun emits light and heat, and that's all you can conclude without further analysis.
I honestly believe if you asked a random sample of the population, they'd be agog at the revelation that the Sun emits radiation. (These people would also likely sign a petition banning dihydrogen monoxide.)
Apple is actually a top 10 company in terms of revenue.
Revenue != profits.
Nintendo has rarely been a non-profitable company. There was like, one quarter during the Gamecube era they didn't turn a profit, and maybe one or two quarters recently.
I'd rather make a profit on low revenue than make a high revenue but be in the red.
but other than nintendo's own games no other developer has gotten it halfway right.
Meaning no other developer has bothered to take the time to learn how to code for it.
Nintendo makes *incredible* use of the motion control. Stands to reason that any other developer could too. I'd imagine you'd have an argument if even Nintendo's own attempts were awful, but that point doesn't exactly hold water.
But would those 1000 robots still perform better? I doubt it. Robots, while excellent at performing P equations, they can't do NP as well.
They can't go "oh, that rock looks interesting over there, let's check it out." As far as remote control, it's a 20-40 minute round trip. Can't make snap decisions.
It is very difficult for me to argue against 'cheaper' and 'safer' when it comes to robots, but you've still got a long way to convince me that they do a 'better' job.
Robots do their job well but they can do only a miniscule fraction of what a trained geologist could do in the same time. At best, robots are adequate, and that's limited to their mission objectives.
Maybe in the ISS it's worth it, but not for Moon/Mars missions since robots should be able to do a better (can stay there for years making a huge collection of rocks) and cheaper job.
"Can," assuming, you know, dust devils consistantly clean off the solar panels, don't crash on landing, don't get stuck in dust a mear half inch thick, don't get buried under a sheet of ice, and are free of mechanical defects.
Humans were able to bring back hundreds of pounds of moon rocks. How much have Mars landers been able to bring back? Heck, how much have moon landers been able to bring back (hint: this one's a non-zero answer)?
I sure hope this restaurant goes out of business soon, that's about the most non businessman-like stance I've ever seen taken in a restaurant.
And yet it seems to be doing just fine. In fact, it's a perfect business model: you find a clientele and provide what they want. It might be a small clientele, but it's a small place too.
I'd wager it's too much a hassle to make sure the garnishes are customized for each diner. I never could get used to the ginger and only use normally about half the given wasabi.
I don't know about 'lower quality.' Anything can fail (especially when you shove methane in there and blow it up...)
However I'm not trying to be an apologist: we do know they didn't pay attention to failure warnings, mucked up procedures, didn't have redundant blow out preventers, and didn't have acoustic shutoffs (the last item Norway has required since 1993).
If BP was sued for the same percentage of punitive damages that individual pirates are sued for, they'd have to invent a new prefix to stand for all the zeros, because I don't think centillion would cut it.

Were you to clarify that 1. That's not a -recent- finding and 2. UV is radiation, few would remain astonished.
I'm pretty sure 'UV = radiation' would astonish people.
Radiation is associated with things like Chernobyl. Hiroshima. Yucca Mountain. Blinky, the three eyed fish on The Simpsons. Bad things, in essence.
That radiation is simply a massive umbrella with a wide spectrum is a fact lost on people.

Not really. States can add to Federal regulations, they just can't take away from them. (I.e., CA's clean air laws are much stricter than the EPA's.)

More international than a UN peacekeeping force at least. Zing.
So...the Japanese and Europeans have NOT built modules attached to it?

I think any competent adult could figure out how to solve the problem if your excuse were true.
First, we'll have to find a competent adult...

And I think you'd consider that unfair too.
Hence why I said that the word 'autism' needs to be quantified.
Getting a splinter in your calf and getting your kneecap smashed inside out with a tire iron are both "leg injuries."
I would consider 'imploded kneecap autism' crippling, but not 'splinter autism.'
"Autism" is hardly crippling without quantifiers given how broadly it's defined and diagnosed these days.
Hyperbole only serves a purpose when the point is accurate.
It won't take 3 minutes, or even a notable length of time longer because the Minicar was *lighter* than the Honda the engine came out of.
The technical term for that sort of exaggeration is known as "bullshit."

I'm still somewhat amused by people who bought a gaming console and expected to treat it as a personal computer...
You weren't paying attention to Sony's ad campaign, were you? Heck, I think the only thing they did NOT advertize the PS3 could do was...play games.
50% Hurr hurr they said 80 meters in the summary!
50% The pixels are broken.
I guess it'll take a while for the intelligent posters to come up with any decent feedback on this technology...
For a prototype, though, this is pretty smurfing impressive.
