Oh come on, they made a camera immune to slingshots, spray paint, chewing gum on the lens, Vaseline on the lens, a bag placed over the camera, a piece of aluminum foil wrapped around it... not to mention a thousand other things including just being stolen... yes, they could use the other cameras to defend each other... but no, then you can't watch the crowd.
The small relative cost and the ability to operate multiple vehicles with minimal personnel and infrastructure will enable small fleets of gliders to study and map the dynamic (temporal and spatial) features of subsurface coastal waters around the clock and around the calendar.

You know, I never thought about it that way but you are probably right. I probably don't use MORE O2 in an hour, I just use a richer mixture. My problem is not getting O2 into my system, it's getting the CO2 out. I need more O2 in order to oxygenate every possible red blood cell because they don't get scrubbed of CO2 properly... but kilo per kilo I should be using the same overall amount of O2 as anyone else. Nice point, thanks!
I don't know about the consumption level of this battery, but my O2 concentrator (>97% pure O2) runs at 3 liters a minute output. I realize I don't use 100% of the output, but I'll bet it's sucking a lot more oxygen out of the air than one of these batteries could... and no one has passed out at my place yet. Would I run it in a sealed room? No. But I would not use lead/acid batteries or a gas flame in a sealed room either.
On the upside, if everyone could see what you looked like naked then just maybe we could gain some headway into stopping the obesity trend in America.
Only to the degree that most of the people watching the scanners would no longer have an appetite... of course the few that did like it would be really disturbing... Oh, look at the cottage cheese thighs on that one! Work It, Baby!
Yup, and it can't be that simple... he would hit the ground, then a large rock would land on top of him, THEN the thing would explode. What I like is that each event has it's own little puff of dust and "POW" sound. Such are the burdens of being a "super genius"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPYAsbOpTtQ&NR=1
No, I would think "Insurance Company Icon"... but then I would think of how they have been portrayed in insurance commercials as quick to take offense, fussy, and sensitive... and I would think "Sexually ambiguous Insurance Company Icon". In any case I would not consider cooking them unless we had already cooked all the overweight people, and that group would include me so I guess in the end I won't have any problem with it at all.
It seems odd. Google has to pay for the privilege of sending them traffic.
It's more like "Google has to pay for the privilege of displaying content creators freshly created content next to Google ads." Without the content creators, Google has little to offer. I use Google as my homepage, and most of the time I can just read the headlines to know what is going on... I click on less than 10% of the stories. But without those results, Google has nothing to sell, no reason for my eyes to ever visit their news page. I look for Google to have more problems in the future as content creators become more desperate to monetize their work. What I fear is a guild system that ends up being something like ASCAP & BMI http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/the+difference+between+ascap+and+bmi.
Last small drive I took apart, the platter (haven't seen a two platter 20G in awhile) was a metalized glass like substance that broke very easily. If that is the case powder it and flush the powder. If it really is metal take a propane torch to it and make it glow, I seem to remember that magnets hate getting hot to that level. Oh, also toss the (cooled) remains in the trash at a busy McDonald's, sans fingerprints. And yes, I do take drives apart every chance I get, got to love those fingernail breaking neodymium magnets...
Could be, it moves files just fine... but I bought it JUST because it said this feature (ReadyBoost) was supported. I don't run Vista, but I end up supporting it for friends that were dumb enough to buy a computer without asking me about it first. And no, none of them are geeky enough to want to run another OS, but many of them have stayed with XP so I only deal with two or three Vista boxes. One realtor got so pissed he GAVE me his Vista box and bought a used XP machine. That box is sitting on the floor by my bench, unplugged.
Well, if Radio Shack (I know, but I live in the sticks) is selling knock-offs then I'm screwed... but the package looks real, complete with the Tux logo and about a dozen others. Also, if that had been the case you would think SanDisk tech support would have said SOMETHING, ANYTHING. The form you have to fill out gets model and serial numbers so if it was fake I would hope they could pass along a clue... smoke signals, something.
I used to love SanDisk (paid over $100 for my first 2gig stick), but the last one I bought, a Micro Cruzer 8Gb does not perform up to specs. I bought it to use the (heavily advertised) ReadyBoost feature on my friends Vista machine... Vista says no way (yes, I tried reformatting, both NTFS and FAT32)... and yes, I have seen flash drives pass the hardware test on that box. I have gotten zero reply from tech support. If you go to the forums you can see it's a common problem with the units, yet they continue to sell them as ReadyBoost capable. There is a registry hack that I will try next time I have the machine on the bench, but I'm warning all my friends off SanDisk as much for the total lack of support response as for the failure to perform as advertised... How do you find out if there are enough effected products to warrant a recall or class action suit?
What I find baffling is that Goofy is a dog, and Pluto is a dog. But Goofy wears clothes, drives, and talks - and Pluto just runs around, barks and wags his tail.
You know, that's not very far out there when you are talking about this group. Years ago when Minnie started acting strange, many thought she had had a psychotic break, some said that she was just plain crazy... In the end, it turned out she was just fu*king Goofy...
The researchers say that, if (big if) the material can be produced in large quantities...
OK, so what do they consider a large quantity? A cubic inch of this stuff will weigh in at over 4703 pounds, so you're gonna need a hefty set of waldos just to move the stuff around. Get enough of it together and you should be able to start doing "stupid gravity tricks"... if it doesn't sink through the floor first.
If you can prove something was stolen from you, you can get it back or get compensated for it's value most of the time... the operative word is "prove". This is why it's important to mark your stuff in a manner most thieves will miss... like writing your name on the top of an ATX power supply before you install it. On laptops the inside of the RAM cover plate AND under the battery are both good. This also helps keep your stuff out of police auctions.
Just because you claim not to have known something was stolen does not allow you to keep the item, and if it can be shown you either have it or converted (sold or traded) it then you are on the hook for it, regardless of what you knew at the time.
If you make it into a MySpace style survey (mix in questions about favorite color and second letter of last name, etc.), not only will they answer you, they will forward it to everyone they know... and most of those people will also reply.
Well, US minimum wage was RAISED to $1.30 in February 1969, so $6.00 p/h (4.61 times that minimum wage) would look like about $30.20 p/h (4.61 times current minimum wage) now. So, yes, that was pretty fair money at that point in time.
Google applied for a trademark for Android in October of 2007, but had that application denied in February of 2008.
Regardless of if I have heard of Android Data, Google knew about them because of the denied trademark. Google also knew the USPTO said its decision was final. So, like all the big players they just kept trying to find a way to break the rules or break the opposition. In our system that often involves some campaign contributions leading to some phone calls being made... business as usual.
Google deserves to take it in the shorts on this one, but I doubt that they will.
I just did a fresh install of XP SP1 (adding SP2 & 3 myself) on a system last night and I have run Windows update several times. Once I was current, IE8 did show up as a critical update, but with it's own install routine (just like IE7 did). I was asked in the first dialog if I wanted to help improve IE8 by sending data back to MS. On this opening dialog of the install routine was a "Do Not Install" button. The next page of the dialog was the click through license, which I also could have rejected. After rebooting the system my default browser was still FF, not the new IE8. Once I ran IE8 there was a first run wizard and the third page of that was "Choose Your Settings" and IF I selected "Express Settings" there was a list of things that would be done, one of those was make IE8 my default browser, another was something called "Smart Filter". This option was not selected by default, neither was the "Custom Settings" option. I chose the custom settings and one of those was to change my default browser. Again, NOTHING was selected by default, there was no "click through", I had to make a choice in order to proceed. Did they want to be my default, yes, but the options were not forced on me, preselected or concealed in a sneaky manner, it was all spelled out in plain simple language. The only way to get your browser switched against your will is to ignore the short list of things that will be done in the "Express Settings" option.
I'll continue to use FF as my browser, but I know my phone will start ringing soon and I want to be ready for questions from my non-geek friends, so I'll take the new browser on my personal system and see what the new features are. As for the headline of this article, it does not match up with my two experiences in the last 24 hours. Maybe I'll set up another XP box and let the browser get pushed to me via automatic updates, but I bet the install routine is the same...

This only works if the people tolerate it.

I think Tubal-Cain's choice of the spelling on the word implies its disambiguation.
Or it's a typo.
God I hope so. I find the concept of implied disambiguation to be somewhat ambiguous... and that makes my head hurt...
This is a good way to look at the big picture:

Now why something is critical as wifi has to exist with stupid consumer shit is the real crux of the issue ...
It's because electromagnetic radiation wants to be free, whether it contains information or not! I think these devices should just keep stepping up the power until they get the signal they want. Wouldn't it be great to have your coffee rewarmed by an incoming file attachment? Send out an mp3 of a bear attack to the baby monitor next door? And, after a few years of "The 2.4 War"©, no one would have to worry about having kids anyway!
The above comment contains attempts at humor, I would in no way advocate a simulated bear attack on a child... bees, maybe....
The person from whom it was stolen can still hold the thief liable for damages, but can't get their original goods back.
A little googling brings up a lot of sites to dispute that claim:

Just to make sure I was remembering correctly I ran Windows Update on another system this morning, and got the same exact experience.
