At least that's all I can think of. Anybody else?
I know some of these take up negligible market share, but I would still like to see their market share lumped together.
When I first read the headline, I was hoping this was an announcement of a music store. While integrating a music player into the system is interesting, I really hope they do go that far. A lot of people making the move from OS X to Linux find themselves at a loss when it comes to finding a comprehensive music store alternative. If not DRM laden, such a thing could be a huge win in Linux.
I have had a growing suspicion that has reached a level of almost certainty that the worlds first world and self-aware AI will be borne from technologies developed for data mining and advertising applications.
When people opposed to religion "single out" Christianity, they really do mean all of the above and more. It's not bias so much as just being easier to generalize by citing the dominate religion as a blanket for all of them rather than specify each and every one every time. This is with respect to situations where someone specifically cites a religion with intent of focusing on that religion. The worlds religions are very different and can only be discussed disassembled in depth one at a time.
It's a matter of civility. I treat most Christians with respect, but I don't respect their beliefs. I have Christian friends who treat me with respect, but I know they don't have respect for the Atheist philosophy that guides much of who I am as a free thinker - or respect for free thought at all for that matter. However, if they are ever up for having "the talk", I am happy to corrupt their beliefs with a dose of reality. Likewise, they can try similar on me. Although it rarely comes to that either way.
About a year ago I purchased a Photon Q for much the same reasons as the person who posted the original comment. I was extremely weary of the non-removable battery. A year later and it is still the most solid phone I have ever had. Also, the keyboard is a full five rows and one of, if not the best keyboard I have ever used on a phone.
I'm sure you could flesh it out more with your families in home experience, in regards to the various bandwidth related applications and device we use these days. It's great that it reminded you love the internet, but a little content on why could have helped. Google Fiber is a month or two away from me. When I get it, can I post the same article with Kansas City related news links and get on the front page too?
I have hit 10GB of memory usage with Chrome. I use it due to its many advantages for my work, but before I upped my RAM to 12GB Chrome would elegantly crash once it started scraping swap space. The logic behind the trade-off needs further consideration. Regardless, I still use it.
Does Chrome still spawn a new instance of itself for every tab you have open and every extension you have running? I like Chrome and I use it, but I upped my system to 12GB ram in order to use it to the extent that I need to. I realize that they do this so if one tab crashes, it doesn't take down the whole system. But the only thing that makes Chrome unstable in the first place is this behavior. Don't believe me? run this command:
Now start opening more tabs with content and run the command again. Open more tabs and run it again. Memory usage sky rockets. Now try the same command but replace chrome with firefox, midori, or whatever else you have. Big difference.
Why do I have the feeling modding isn't going to go my way with this post. Oh well.
I would say this discussion fits in well with the frequent discussions we have about the alleged impending death of the desktop computer. Consider the argument that PC's which were brand new around 2007/2008 are still so overpowered for most needs that this is the cause of declining PC sales. Now consider that much less expensive than Intel, yet also brand spanking new AMD chips are practically supercomputers compared to chips from that era. If my 2008 PC is still really fast, but I want to upgrade anyway, why pay the Intel premium (outside of some ultra-demanding professional use) when I can save so much and still have a computer that will be faster than I need for years to come. That's AMD's advantage in this game. I currently have a quad core 3 GHZ AMD system with GPU disabled in favor of a low cost NVIDIA card and it's great. I am waiting till next fall for the price to plummet on current 8 core 4 GHZ AMD chips for my next upgrade. And even then it will be just for the hell of it, not need.
Now we just need a practical, ecologically friendly way of storing, long term, the excess energy that has nowhere to go. It's great that this much wind energy can be generated under unusual conditions, it would be better if we would store the large quantities that no doubt went to waste for want of adequate storage technology.
Sham or not, the studies Mars One must engage in to at least look credible do represent real science. Whether or not they plan on actually getting people to Mars (I'm betting not) the ideas they are forced to approach could potentially serve as real foundation and R&D time saver for actually getting there someday.
If you want to live 100 years ago, fine. But let the rest of the world move forward. Also, his low end 3d printer... came off of a shelf. If the problem can be solved with something better, let it be solved with something better. By starting this process, it can only become better and cheaper. I would like to see your cost sheets showing that it is cheaper to build these in other countries with cheaper, and heavier, materials and then ship them over without leaving them practical means to make more. They don't have these "off the shelf" materials over there is the first place. Sending a box off lightweight raw materials makes infinitely more sense on so many levels. You really don't get it do you?
Yes, I'm a jerk because I proposed something 10x cheaper
Yes you are. To make matters worse you are a short-sited jerk. Self-aggrandizing videos... oh geez, I have been tricked into replying to a troll. No wonder you are posting AC. Say all you want, I am done with you.
I don't think the idea is that Sudanese will be forking over $100 for an artificial limb. This is a charitable cause. If you watch the video closely, enough raw material was unloaded to make at least 1,000 and they were left with the manufacturing means and training to make more. The article states that they are currently making about one per week. I don't think anyone over there has the money for this, which brings it back to a charitable cause.
You did read the article and watch the video, right?
When the $100 figure is cited, they are not saying that the Sudanese will be forking over that sum, they are saying that at that price point, they can be provided as a charitable cause. Considering this guy was able to raise the money to do this in the first place, I am sure there is material resupply money at hand.
It was only detected by gravitational wobble. Prior to that psuedo-exoplanets had been discovered but they involved non-solar system type objects such as pulsars. After the 1995 discovery, scientists slowly made more discoveries based on planetary wobble. At that time, the ability to take pictures like what we have seen in this article seemed farther flung into the future than we are now - if possible at all. But science is persistent and new technologies were developed fast. Now here we are imaging planets as they orbit their stars and the technology to image them continues to accelerate and advance at breakneck speed. If the development of scientific instruments were a race, planet finding and the LHC would at least be neck and neck if not having planet find slightly in the lead. There is preliminary work going on that promises views of extrasolar planets at resolutions as high as viewing the moons of the outer planets with our best telescopes - some say it may be possible to image planets with the resolution of looking back at the Earth from the moon. Is there no obstacle to discovery science cannot overcome? Time will tell. These new ultra-resolution planet find tools are hoped to be developed and ready by 2025, When I consider how far we have come and fast fast, I am inclined to believe we may actually get those images in that timeframe - despite how far fetched that kind of resolution may seem today.
I never envisioned that the universe was literally like a rubber sheet or any object creating an indentation in a material due to its weight. But I still get the basic idea. That's the point, it communicates the basic idea in a way the average people can comprehend. Besides, most people are now exposed to this example through a computer rendered simulation, not a rubber sheet.
I know there are innumerable phenomenon in the universe yet to be discovered that occur naturally, and I know planet hunting is new, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if some of the more odd phenomena, especially gravitational, will one day be classified as enormous engineering efforts. Maybe we have found aliens several times over, only we can't currently comprehend that we have.
I read the summary three times in disbelief that it is actually on the front page. Every so often something pops on on Slashdot's front page that doesn't belong, sometimes it really bad. This. takes. the. cake.
It reads like a quickly drafted, brief email where one associate is casually bouncing something off another, or even a scam email. We are not here to do market research for someone that can't do it themselves. Is this a personal favor for someone, Roblimo? Please don't abuse Slashdot like this in the future.
You all can mod me down all you want. This is bullshit.
It's been proposed. Supercomputer simulations show that attempting to poke in a relief valve would give the existing pressure a channel to explode though with full force. Just because super volcanoes may not require a trigger does not mean that one cannot be triggered.
I recently brought an early revision WRT54G out of retirement after a newer router failed. Although I did recently re-decommission it, it still worked fantastically well for the modes it supports. For anyone who missed the party:

In the world of Open Source, I would also like to see the sum total of Open Source web servers VS. IIS:
Nginx http://www.nginx.org/ ( really popular and at least this is in one of the graphs)
Lighttpd http://www.lighttpd.net/ (personally, I have found many reasons use this one in the past and I'm sure I will again)
Cherokee http://www.cherokee-project.co... (yet to explore past a basic setup)
Roxen Webserver http://www.roxen.com/products/... (Still need to take for a spin)
And then special purpose web servers.
HTTP Explorer http://http-explorer.sourcefor...
HFS HTTP File Server http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/
At least that's all I can think of. Anybody else?

I only agree with you after watching the Chiefs blow a 28 point lead against the Colts, keeping them out of the playoffs. Maybe next year.

Not remotely. But I still use Chrome due to its advantages for my work. Hence the 12GB of memory. And yes, I have compared them all.

The first exoplanet found orbiting a main sequence star was discovered on 6 October 1995, around 51 Pegasi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/51_Pegasi
