Probably a combination of less than North American standard of hygiene, as well as sheer probability. Pick a random person on Earth to infect with a zombie virus. 1/6th chance you'll end up with a mainland Chinese zombie.
Stop using that story! NASA never spent millions developing a space pen, and the Russians never used pencils. NASA might be stupid, but not that stupid, and the Russians are cheap enough to do something that stupid. Break the tip and your screwed. Not to mention wood and graphite catch fire. Both space agencies were happy to use grease pencils for quite a while. The Space Pen that is use now was developed independently by a independent inventor/businessman. Only after making that did NASA end up using some of the pens.
The severe punishment is only suppose to happen when by exercising your freedom of speech, you have significantly interfered with the freedom/lives of another. Thus laws on slander and libel. This is really just the same with all freedoms. You are free to use them as long as you do not hinder the freedom of others in the process.
If they can build drones from old computer and car parts, what use is there in banning/making them illegal? If the task drones are used for are illegal, why bother making drones illegal? It won't stop them, you don't need 'drones are illegal' as a reason to condemn such an attack. This would be akin (but not exactly the same) to some chap back in 1920 going "Oh wait. That whole thing with tanks? Bad idea. It sounds great to save the lives of soldiers. But what happens when they get tanks too? Better ban them! Those damn krauts might be able to retask automotive industry to make these things!" (and yes... I know Germany actually WAS banned from having tanks. Look what good that actually did).
"Normal" movies (as in stuff actually shot with a camera) will already have blurring in the frames. This lets them get away with 24fps. If you watch a highspeed camera that has had enough frames dropped so that it appears realtime at 24fps, you would be baffled by a) the lack of blurring, and b) the jumpyness of the movement. When you render your frames, you have to play much faster than 24 fps (i think 50 is acceptable), or render blurring into your frames.
The article never says cause, always link (which could be either correlation or causation). Article also says that the gene in question regulates something about vasopressin receptors in the brain, so vasopressin's effects on the rest of the body can be ignored. The hormone in question also governs aggression, aspects of social interaction, as well as (suspected) the bond making ability between humans (love, if you will). I see some link/relation between these and ruthlessness. It's fine to criticize the press for dumbing down science. But pick the right articles to criticize. Just as slashdot is not one homogeneous body of people unable to hold contradicting opinions, the press is not one homogeneous body of people unable to write to different levels of competent and accuracy. This might not be the best article/research, but they're pretty good.
Unmanned and autonomous mean different things. Unmanned can be remote controlled, autonomous must be completely self contained. In other words, autonomous is a subset of unmanned.
Before everyone starts smarting at this thing 'predicting' natural disasters, please read the summary carefully (I know your not going to read the article). The math and system is designed to help deal with natural disasters that do happen (like optimizing your relief delivery path, plotting the best places to contain/fight a forest fire, etc etc). It is also used to evaluate how best, and how well current resources could be used in a natural disaster by predicting (yes, there is it, a prediction) most likely challenges, problems, scale and the like. I think it's useful. <p> The new thing with this apparently is that they're using a new mathematical model that previously was too computationally expensive to do on a large scale. Computers are powerful enough to use these models now.
Completely true. A galley slave really wouldn't care. Which is why the Greek States by and large didn't use slaves. Almost all oarsmen were freemen, and they had to be somewhat professional. Athens (for example) built its wealth and its 'empire' on its navy, and thus there was a sense of pride in serving the navy. Not to mention, when you have 170 oarsmen, they have to work as a coherent team. Getting 170 slaves who really don't want to be there to work properly would be detrimental. In cases where slaves were pressed into service (in emergencies or what not) they were sometimes rewarded with freedom after serving.
There IS a video comparison in TFA. Your right, it isn't as bad as the captures make it out to be. But its still very noticeably. Sudden movements, fast brightness changes and other stuff all cause the video to block up a bit.
Ironically the single biggest Egyptian boat ever discovered was a funeral boat that had been completely dismantled for easy storage to the after life. They even left instructions on the pieces on how to put it back together. Imagine the Enterprise (CVN not NCC) taken apart and left as lego in a ditch.
I don't know. I have sympatico. Im using an ancient bitcomet client, and I don't think I have any spoofing going on. It's 7:33pm right now and I have two torrents going at 60kb/s each. I've had single torrents pull off >180kb/s for hours straight between 6 and midnight. Maybe it's because I throttle my own upload in my client (capped at 30kb/s up), but that throttling really hasn't hit me. At least not in the way you describe.
Easter is given an exact date in Jewish calender with is a lunar calender. That in itself creates part of the drift. Then theres the fact that the Church wanted Easter to always be on a Sunday, so you get even more craziness there. After a while I think they just completely decoupled it from Passover and the Jewish calender completely, and implimented the current rules.
Maybe Jesus and the money lenders? To be honest, it really is a stretch, but if Jesus can beat up some money changers and scatter their flock to keep the temple 'free', then I guess that means there are times when violence and being nasty is needed. *shrug* I've always had it explained that the New Testament is about Jesus spreading the love of god and fellow man, while the Old Testament is about God kicking ass. And that Deuteronomy is like the black sheep of the bible. If there's a general rule somewhere in the bible, Deuteronomy will tell you to break it when you are discovered raping an unmarried woman or something.
Don't know if your trolling or not. But theres a reason why the Christian Holy Bible has both books in there. They are both relavent. Less you want to argue that the Ten Commandments should never ever be cited by Christians when talking about Christianity. Or that Genesis doesn't pertain to Christians at all.
Downtown Toronto can be annoying as hell. My school has a wifi network setup, but we're also close enough to uoft campus to get some of their networks, and our building is split, so the we have yet another network originating from inside our building (which we can't use but our computers will still connect to), and then we have onezone access point right in front of the building. Our school's signal is usually strong enough to stay on the top of list of access points... but whenever you walk into a deadspot, all of the sudden your internet dies as windows tries connecting to 4 different networks.
Wouldn't that run into some problems with reproduction? This is why photocopying and book and then selling the photocopy isn't allowed, or why the DVDs on sale in Chinatown for 3 bucks are illegal.
Read the summary. All this lets them do is get a warrant to raid/search your house and computer. If you really did accidentally click on those ads, then your computer/house should be clean. They can't arrest you. It'll be a bitch, but they can't arrest you.
Can't you still use them for prosthetics? For at least some of the simplier joints, I can see it working. You just have to reverse everything, so your bicep now opens your elbow, and your tricep closes it. But I agree, I would be much better if they figured out 'real muscle'.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't gas turbines effectively work as an on and off engine? From what I remember about the M1 Abrams (powered by a gas turbine), its fuel consumption is pretty much the same from idle to max speed, making it far more efficient going 70mph than diseal tanks, but utterly crap the rest of the time. It's the reason why they installed an alternate powerpack to provide power to onboard electronics while the gas turbine was off. Also, I have a feeling the exhaust would be killer in a city.

They'll probably hate you when they say all that stuff in class and get this stern look from the teacher.

You don't want the springs in the magazine to rust. Your bullets might be fine, but the moment your springs start rusting, you're kind of screwed.

Yeah. But which Christmas? Dec 25 or Jan 7?
