"The amazing material is soft and malleable like putty, but the substance becomes solid instantly after impact."
-It's useless it if it turns solid AFTER impact. The article states that it turns solid DURING impact. "AFTER" and "DURING" are two different things.
Either way, I'd like to know what happens when it is subjected to the prolonged temperatures of systems in the field. Will it it keep its intended state and shape, or will it ooze out all over the place?
All of our equipment was 1950's and '60's era stuff (remembering the labels when I was in grammar school in the early '90's):
-It was more reliable: Didn't break down, except for the occasional burned-out lightbulb. -More durable: Made of steel. You could treat it very roughly and it didn't break. -Easier to use: No passwords, fumbling with the network, dead/broken remote controls, plugging in cables (Just one POWER plug), just to use an overhead projector. -More economical: An overhead bulb is LOADS cheaper than a new digital projector bulb. And the whole unit is cheaper to replace.
Most of the technology in schools today is full of fancy bells and whistles that do largely the same thing, with few improvements over the old RELIABLE equipment that schools used to have.
ALOT of the equipment we had was made by Eiki, and it was SOLID, unlike the fancy crap they make nowadays. The tech schools have now offers a questionable advantage over the amount of time and work it purports to save.
A LITTLE OFF-TOPIC BUT: Does anybody here remember the smell of the Ditto machine? Ahhhhh..... They days.....
Union: 'Too Much' work is *ANY* work that is performed off the clock, and/or is needed to finish the job on-time.
Personally, I HATE unions. I have had to work for them and they yell at you for stepping out of line even an inch. I used to work at a place where I was forbidden to touch or have any kind of contact with boxes while we were on break. Kind of ironic that an organization that prides itself on individuality would be so authoritarian towards their forced membership in their policies. We had MANY draconian rules that bordered on ridiculous.
Personally, if I have had to work off the clock, I've been generously compensated for my troubles. Working off the clock may not always come with money attached, but you can earn extra 'credit' with your employer by demonstrating a strong work ethic (or lack of social life) which pays off in performance reviews.
What a pussy! He's 25 AND lives at home with his MOM? He wouldn't come out of his room? AND he thinks he's 'cool' because he can make prank phone calls? What a fucking weenie!
Let me see if I get it right. Malik:
Is 25 years old,
Lives at home with his mom,
Stays in his blacked out bedroom,
Hides in his bedroom when reporters knock on his door like a little pussy,
And gets his jollies making prank calls.
This neutered "guy" is the personification of "pussy", "coward", and "retard".
Ah..... The Idea Hamsters at Crapple have given birth to a new public-relations crapplet.
Next thing you know, we'll be getting warnings from apple to the tune of:

Honestly, how on Earth could Apple try to get away with something so stupid?
The Touchy-Feely Liberals would have you believe that the police will always be there in time to protect you and catch the criminals that victimize you.
I lived in Utah for a year or two during high school and remember back in 1998-99 where people were breaking into DMVs and stealing cameras, printers, and paper because they couldn't replicate the holograms and stuff. I suppose now that technology has advanced that criminals are able to replicate the holograms and stuff on their own without having to steal supplies.
I've worked at a couple of bars here in the US and we scanned ids. But, the scanners we used were small, portable handheld units that just read the magstripe to see in the data contained in the magstripe matched the information printed on the front of the card. The only contact with the outside world that the unit had was the tiny AC power cord used to charge the batteries.
I can see the benefits of scanning cards, as it is very easy to duplicate DLs. However, I don't see how you need to completely read someone's info and feed it into an online database just to check their age.
In the US, if a counterfeit ID that can fool any reasonable person is used to illegally purchase alcohol, and the bar serves the alcohol, the person who made the purchase is held fully accountable, and not the bar. This protects bars from having to worry about every single ID being counterfeit, as counterfeiters are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
I think the system of electronic scanners that just verify magstripe data with printed data on the front of the card is sufficient, since a counterfeit card that looks legit AND fools scanners will also fool any resonable person.
I don't see where Little Brother Canada thinks that everybody should have to punch in to a database whenever they want to go out for a night on the town.
As long as they did away with the hand-holding that was pervasive in Vista, im sure Win7 will be much better.
The problem with Vista was all of the BLOAT and EYE CANDY. Having to click through a bunch of selection menus in Vista just to do what took 1-2 clicks in XP was, and still is, ridiculous.
"The reason Carter did that is to limit reprocessing in _other_ countries"
-----No, he limited it in the U.S. Other nations, like France, use breeder reactors to recycle their waste. The international part is not an international ban, but he did ban it in the U.S. separately.
The concern was that someone might steal it from the reprocessing plants, as if they couldn't steal it from other sources. Jiimmy Carter's actions aren't going to stop any rogue nation from getting plutonium or building their own reactors. All Carter did was remove a very powerful menas of managing nuclear waste.
It's great to hear about someone finally building another nuclear plant in stead of another coal- or gas-fired plant. Here in the People's Republik of Kalifornia, nuclear power is verboten, and mentioning it will get your ass drummed out of town by "newspaper scientists" and politicians who allow themselves to be led around by the nose by environmentalists who wouldn't know a rational thought if it bit them on the nose.
However, unless this is a PBMR, the problem is only half-finished. Nuclear wast cannot be stored for the thousands or millions of years that it would need to decay to a safe level. The solution would be to use a breeder reactor to efficiently reprocess the waste fuel, instead of simply storing it underground. This would reduce the amount of raw fuel production that would be needed, and would greatly reduce the quantity of radioactive waste, which could be separated into usable isotopes. Apparently, Jimmy Carted, despite his nuclear degrees, thought that it would be better just to let waste accumulate in huge quantities underground, instead of *RECYCLING* it back into usable nuclear fuel, and caved into the demands of the Greens and banned breeder reactor construction.
Here in the People's Republik of Kalifornia, Greens attack every form of power generation, except, for some reason, gas turbines.
1. Solar - Uses up too much valuable land, not efficient enough for the energy demands of the state. Extremely expensive and not useful on cloudy days. Technology not advanced enough. 2. Wind - Indefinite moratorium in CA, because the places windy enough to make them efficient are in the flight paths of birds. Banned in Altamont, CA, the windiest place on the planet. 3. Nuclear - "Sen." Feinstein has vowed to oppose any form of nuclear power. Not going to happen in CA. Feinstein refuses to educate herself on PBMRs, and instead listens to lobbyists. 4. Geothermal - Not efficient enough due to too few suitable locations (Many in open spaces and parks).
Rep. Ellen Tauscher, a Democrat from Kalifornia, is one of the few Democrats to actually see the advantages of nuclear power generation over those who remain blinded by politics. Although a democrat, I still have to give her serious props in her position on nuclear power.
"NASA management has stated that their computer models predict a safe outcome."
-In retrospect, NASA also predicted the safe outcome of the last Challenger launch.
"It's time they you take off your Engineering hats and start putting on your Management hats."
- Famous last words. Unfortunately, with the current disagreement brewing, I think someone at NASA must have uttered those very same words, not knowing what trouble they can cause.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think NASA has all the elements for the Perfect Storm:
1. Underfunded, 2. Overzealous and overbearing management, 3. Overconfidence, 4. Massively complex, high-risk mechanical systems, 5. Career managers making critical decisions, instead of career engineers, 6. Over-valued managers, 7. Under-valued engineers.
Ever notice how when something goes wrong at NASA, it almost always results in a massive, explosive failure, along with several deaths?
Oh well. This conflict will give the networks something to scruitinze instead of endless "specials" on the life and death of some freaky-deeky nutjob pop singer.
.....And yet, FOX slaughters yet another potential cash cow.
Honestly, what is with companies that take great ideas and totally ruin them in the name of "improving" them?
I could talk about such epic fuck-ups ad nauseum, but I'll limit my post to.....
FUCK THAT. Futurama will lose the vast majority of what it has built up over the years because those asinine morons at the network can't realize a potential major cash source.
Good job FOX. You are about to destroy something very valuable.
1) The more technologically advanced and/or complex a system is, the easier it will be to defeat or break.
2) As information retained by technological systems increases, the less information is retained by humans, thus progressively minimizing the need for a human working knowledge.
3) "Advanced" doesn't necessarily mean advanced.
Who needs to:
1) Learn how to read a map if you can use your GPS? 2) Learn how to spell, if you have spell-check? 3) Learn proper grammar, if you have grammar-check? 4) Learn penmanship, if you type instead of write? 5) Learn Morse code, if your cell phone cannot get a signal?
Unfortunately, people have become so reliant on technology that they have made themselves completely vulnerable to the most simplest of problems, particularly #1 above, which could be the difference between life and death if the GPS unit is damaged or the batteries are dead. Number 4 is becoming an increasing problem, since pharmacists are increasingly misreading prescriptions because the handwriting of the doctor that wrote them is so bad that they dispense the wrong compound, with disasterous results.).
Consider learning Morse code: If you are in a situation where you need it, like boating or hiking, chances are VERY good that your cell phone won't get a signal, and a 50 cent mirror or $2.50 flashlight will get a distress message out better. Even with a radio, basic radio operation skills are far more helpful that being able to text, since cell reception is not as widespread, powerful, or reaching as a signal from a radio.
Skills that are not dependent on technology are vital. Society has become reliant on technologies and gadgets that were intended to *aid* in accomplishing tasks, and not intended to completely replace hard skills.
If you need to live your life surrounded by gadgets, gizmos, and the latest tech, chances are you are already diminishing your capability to adapt and function should something happen and they stop working.
FTFA: "Wu also doubted that MySpace provided sufficient notice to members to hold them responsible. If a user didn't read the terms of service, the judge asked prosecutor Krause, could they still be charged with violating them?"
-Yes. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". Someone should have asked the judge if was familiar with that saying. Someone should rub his face in his own ignorance. MySpace *DOES* give sufficient notice, and you have to make the conscious effort to click a small box stating affirming that you agree. Wheather or not someone actually reads the whole thing is the responsibility of the user, NOT the provider.
FTFA: "To convict Drew of the felonies, prosecutors would have needed to prove two things: that Drew accessed MySpace "without authorization," and did it for the purpose of committing a tortious act -- in this case, to intentionally cause harm to Megan Meier."
-How on Earth could these two things be so hard to prove?
1. Drew violated the terms of her useage agreement by using it with malicious intent. You do not have authorization to access sites with a ToS if you violate the ToS. MySpace granted permission for Drew yto use the site in accordance with the ToS. Since she did not abide by the ToS, she did not have the legal right or authority to access MySpace. Technically, she did "hack", but not in the sense that SlashDot readers are used to, she just used it without authorization. Technically hacking. PROVEN.
2. She created a fake account, created a false identity, and used that false identity to harass another person. PROVEN.
Someone hang this bitch out to dry with the dipshit judge, who thinks he can rewrite the law.
This idea is the perfect example of how a politician would execute the perfect political suicide.
This is simply a huge waste of money, as it has absolutely no chace of passing. This wouold be the perfect way o piss off the American people, an nobody wants to pay the government every single time they pull out of their driveway.
Plus, given the "Hacker Ethic" of gearheads, it'll be no time at all before someone figures out how to cheat the system.

I'm not the smartest man in the world, BUT.....
How can the city effectively "sell" or "license" public property without asking for a vote/measure/ordinance/etc?
The money will disappear faster than a punch bowl full of painkillers at a celebrity bachelorette party.....
Any hillbilly with a cutting torch can do it for less, and more efficiently.
Kinda ironic how this study was released at the same time the brouhaha surrounding Nationalized Health Care and "Death Panels" is going on.....
BTW..... Am I the *only* one making Soylent Green jokes about the whole Health Care thing???

Pointless calibration.
So, they just calibrated their instruments to detect massive urbanization, a huge population, and massive amounts of water?!
They should be calibrating for FAR weaker readings, unless they expect to find a civilization just as obvious as ours.
Heck, all they would have needed to do is walk outside, or at least calibrate their instruments to detect far FAR less of what they are looking for.
An appropriate response to Apple would be:
-----
"To whom it may concern,
Please review the following points:
1. We do not, and will not, agree to the terms you requested we agree to as a condition of receiving a refund for your defective product which exploded.
2. You will refund to us the amount that we paid for the product.
