One would hope that they would be intelligent about it and only use the stuff on "abandoned luggage" they find about the airport to determine whether or not to call in the bomb squad. Of course this would require prudence and an ounce of sense from the TSA - I wouldn't count on it. In fact I bet this is used in the most inconvenient, ridiculous, and stupid manner possible. Like perhaps aerosolizing the stuff all about and making everyone walk under a black light so as to maximize the time it takes to get from a ticket counter to a plane.
The polymer is able to show the difference between nitrate esters, such as trinitroglycerin, and nitroaromatic explosives, such as TNT. Apparently the esters glow green under UV whilst the TNT will glow blue. Meanwhile I guess my awesome UV Blue Reflective Luggage is no longer of much use. One would hope this will reduce false positives, but i just fertilized my lawn so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
It doesn't make any sense to me to allow any remote access to critical control systems like those described. Why would they want to use anything besides a local network?
On control systems networks, firewalls were bypassed or inadequately configured, passwords were not effectively implemented, logging of certain activity was limited, configuration management policies for control systems software were not consistently implemented, and servers and workstations lacked key patches and effective virus protection. In addition, physical security at multiple locations did not sufficiently protect critical control systems. Ok the physical protections is an issue, but people in charge of major control systems for power generation should be on site - there is no reason to connect these boxes to the wider internet - a local network should be completely sufficient for their needs.
I suspect even if it did it would be a cold day in hell before MS files suit against the suppliers which are the sole reason MS has been able to maintain a monopoly this long.
I suppose they could, but many folks are going to want to work in AutoCad without an internet connection. It would make a little more sense to stick a license on every box of software - and on install associate it with a user account. Even that though probably isn't optimal - considering many companies just have a license server for such programs.
This card isn't particularly useful on its own, but if you want to write graphics card drivers - It sounds like the bees knees. You don't have to go out and buy 10 different cards, cause you can just emulate the suckers on the FPGA - write and verify your driver and move on.
It would appear they caught the error and then proceeded to do jack about it:
after a computer coding error was corrected, their ratings should have been up to four notches lower. Now why exactly didn't they immediately act to correct the error? So even if everyone else was just hopping on the good news bandwagon, there was serious fraud here on the part of moody's
The astronomer was looking at another supernova very close to the one in question - the number i read was 8 seconds after the start (of X-ray emissions) of the new supernova - they started getting data. Indeed they got really lucky here. On a completely unrelated note Have you ever seen a supernova blow up? No, but if its anything like my old chevy nova it will light up the night sky
What? Men finally have an excuse to go to the bathroom in groups too now! Also -
equipment privilege. Hey, don't get me wrong - I love my equipment (often) but since 49% of people have one - i'd hardly call it a privilege.
500x more power - essentially that requires a tremendously larger amount of power. Even with the best phased array bad ass military style antennas you arent going to get this sort of a power increase - you gotta put more out of the antenna at the source - which means you are lifting honking huge freaking batteries up into space and you are gonna have to stick some mad solar panels on the sucka too. PS. I completely agree with the sentiment in your last sentence. - with that money you could probably mount a significant effort toward eliminating malaria in subtropical/tropical areas of the world, saving millions of children. Or you could provide an absurd amount of aid to prevent water born diseases in the 3rd world - or you could mount a tremendous anti-hunger campaign. Bottom line - bigger batteries on a satellite are more important to the people in charge.
Galileo is going at 2 frequencies 1164 to 1214 MHz and 1563 to 1591 MHz. While it looks like (the civilian part) of this version is just centered at the (L2 = 1227.60 MHz) & (L5 = 1176.45 MHz) - so the 1164-1214 civilian GPS units for Galileo should work with the civilian bands for these satellites too. As for the military stuff.... well I couldn't say.
brains in management. This AC would be the prime example of an oxymoron. - While im here it was NGS not NVS (Northrop Grumman) FTFA which I clearly did not read until just now
The loss is Boeing's fourth straight in three months on a US defense contract valued at more than $500 million. Boeing lost to Northrop Grumman on a $US35 billion Air Force refueling tanker aircraft contest in February and a $US3.74 billion Navy unmanned spyplane order in April. Lockheed beat Boeing for a $US766 million radio contract in March. Northrop's partner on the tanker contract is the parent of Toulouse, France-based Airbus, Boeing's only bigger rival in commercial planes.
Probably just to combat the claim some who do this deplorable atrocity would put forth - "i just altered an image which wasn't bad". On a completely unrelated note - what exactly is the 1 billion going toward? 250 new hires - and
beefing up personnel, equipment, and educational programs designed to combat Internet crimes against children; and for creating new forensics laboratories if the attorney general deems it necessary to deal with a "backlog" of online child exploitation cases. that costs a billion dollars? 250 new hires and some new equipment? On the plus side of this - I hope at least some of that money is going toward computer image learning programs. Image recognition could get a long way with even a small portion of that sort of money.

No way - definitely cookie crunch.

pfttt... directions are for wussies anyway!
this is a new marketing strategy - you don't even have to have anything to market! just get people to stand in line!

Seriously - lost the in air refueler contract to Airbus (or NVS or whoever)- lost this contract to Lockhead - What is the deal?
you know, congress did have a closed session yesterday - I can only imagine what they were doing in there.
I was thinking more along the lines of honesty in government - you know what with the congressional pages running around the hill
My initial reading of the title left off the "Fight" part - anyone else?
I'm illiterate you insensitive clod!
Bender you cant vote?
Nope -
Oh because your a machine?
No - because i'm a convicted felon
ohhh..
Picking on the illiterate in written form? Seriously? How can they retort!
