Actually, they DID discover a new life form.......they discovered an existing organism that can use arsenic in its DNA and RNA rather than the phorphorus other life on earth uses.
Oh, like finding them marching around with little signs reading "Hell No We Don't Glow!" wasn't a dead giveaway...
That's great, but if memory and I/O speeds don't keep up, the extra FLOPS are becoming more and more worthless....
Well, THAT'S why it's so important to do things that were previously thought to be impossible. Once we finally get small scale time travel going we can write memory values before the calculation is actually performed! Slow I/O? No problem as the information arrives before it is sent... so it's always on time for the super fast processor to make the next calculation and send the result back in time to the slower I/O and memory! I don't know why but I get this vision of a heat sink that looks like a 12 acre lake...
Yeah. Just the other day I saw a job advertised where experience with Windows Vista was required to get the job, but nothing was said about being expected to work with Vista.
That's just a check to make sure the applicant is a glutton for punishment...
Oh come on! We should at least hear her belt out a bit of "Stop! In The Name Of Love" first... Seriously, going against the wishes of Big Media is going against the wishes of big political contributors... as long as money buys votes it will also influence the make up of SCOTUS.
OK, how about hunting for the blind? See the Class "C" hunting permits link on this page. Sorry the actual application file (not this link) is a PDF, but just knowing you could get a permit to shoot at stuff while legally blind WAY outweighs alternate input methods for web forms or TTY for call centers.... because there are no bullets flying around in the latter examples.
My kingdom for a mod point... but alas I have none... Oh, no kingdom either... Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up there. You are being kind saying that trying to sue someone sans lawyer is at best naive. Judges used to be... (drum roll)... LAWYERS!!!
...I think that what MS is offering is the ability for app developers to develop good looking, functional applications in a very short amount of time using skills they largely already have. The amount of tie-in to the data across the platform is from what I've read and seen, unsurpassed at this point. That's why with very little fanfare, I did a look at the apps available for WP7, and they are really nice, and I haven't found one that is as low quality as what I regularly see on the Android marketplace.
If they only sold 40,000 on the first day, that could add up to a lot of phones... I wouldn't mind selling even 20,000 of something a day. You give that a six month run, you get 3,600,000 units. Kind of dwarfs a million and a half G1 Android phones in six months.
Well, just because it's non reactive does not mean it's OK in the small sacs (alveoli) of the lung. At about 200 micrometers across, the alveoli make a very good trap for non-dissoluble particulates... and particulates do damage. No data on inhaled gold does not make it OK. Putting anything but air in your lungs will have some consequences.
Plus, people being what they are we would get to a point where someone would want to burn the leaves to recover the gold, messing up the whole CO2 bonus.
Even if it is a replacement, we're still years behind where we would be if the hicks didn't insist that we throw out the unused embryos. The reality is that we've got plenty of embryonic stem cells available without creating any more. Which really ought to be where the morals come into it. As it stands we're destroying the extra stem cells from IVF instead of using them because the right won't allow scientists to use them.
Yes, because research is only done in the USA, no one else has the will or facilities to do any experiments.
Exactly like I get an "invite" from Facebook every time someone with my email address in their contacts allows fB to parse their address book? I opt out every time but it happens a couple times a year anyway. And what really pisses me off is at the bottom of each invite is a list of all the other fB users that I "might know"... based on fB finding my address in an imported contact list for each of them... now, I don't have an fB account so why are they correlating people that have my email address on an ongoing basis? Once they have sent out invites, why is fB keeping the information from the imported contacts? And how do I get them to delete (i.e. not retain) my email address when I'm not a member...
Why stop with the windows? Auto bodies normally have a "clear coat" over the pigmented layer, so why not have the entire vehicle surface act as a collector?
IIRC, in some ads MS ran a few years back, they touted Forefront as one of the only security solutions which offered guaranteed protection against zombies.
I agree, once you put a recipe out there anyone can and will cook it, even for profit. There are reportedly kitchen spy's that get a job just to steal secret recipes.
But that's not the same thing as republishing something that was published for profit, whether the profit was in advertising clicks or book royalties does not matter.
I agree that a list of ingredients and instructions does not seem to rise to the level of creativity one would expect from a book or even an article... If however you have had a really good meal you have to admit there is much creativity in the creation of dishes. This is even more evident if you have also had a really bad meal...
In the end it comes down to you creating a food dish, publishing the process to create said food dish, and deriving income from publishing your creation. Copyright does not prevent someone from preparing the dish... even if they sell it (restaurants steal from each other all the time). But once someone endeavors to derive income by republishing the copyrighted information I feel they are out of bounds.
Maybe, but the copyrighted recipe of the cake is the truth... As I'm sure the Recipe Industry Association of America will soon be communicating to Cooks Source Magazine.

They always go in threes. First LN, now IK. Who's #3?

Based on historical evidence, we as a planet do not have that kind of luck...

That can be a hella expensive form of storage. Both maintenance and upgrade costs will just kill you.
Not to mention where we once had to fear strong magnetic fields, we will now freak up over a can of Lysol...
Well, U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent in the end, but it was after Tesla had passed away... and it was to nullify a lawsuit against the US for Marconi.
This is just a corporation using it's political connections in order to save huge amounts on shipping costs.

In china you can hire professional mourners for funerals, so I wonder if you can hire professional hunger strikers.
Sure you can, but try to avoid the ones with the "Will Hunger Strike For Food" signs...
