they also freak out when the toilet doesn't flush, the lights don't work and the heater is broken.... - services need to work and they don't care who fixes them - but they need fixing.
Because there is not much difference between IT and the plumber or the electrician - they are all just responsible for keeping the infrastructure running. and like the plumber they are also not central to the core business of the organisation - they just provide required services to it. In my experience they are more interested in their own issues than helping the core business of the company and giving the best solutions to the business units who generate revenue. Too often the CEO/CFO has to tell the CIO that his people need to get on board where the company is going.
the chinese track is shorter at the station, but the the shuttle sits on the train it self, not to a second track, so it is secure to train. If there is going to be a delay that will unfortunately force the main trian to slow down - so it will work anyway.
LOL, I am not an American, and I am not in the way of progress, and I don't care about lawsuits. I like the Chinese idea, and it is progressively better than the British idea. I just don't like the idea of walking from one speeding train to another speeding train that is on a DIFFERENT track. The Chinese idea is simpler, safer, more flexible (easy to add many stations) and uses far less real estate.
The British idea is terrifying. What if you are too slow or someone puts their foot into the gap, or if there is a stone or wobble on the neighbouring track?
The Chinese idea is much nicer.
or the effect is perhaps about spooky (copyright Einstein) neutrino generation at a distance" or "generation nanoseconds ago with some Heisenberg borrowed time" kind of effect. The original article explicitly mentions the supernova. This basically excludes the neutrinos travelling at the speed of light over galactic time and distances. But something could be happening over the nanosecond range, and that would be interesting. So please don't take your supernova results and skeptically throw out the baby with the bathwater..
Wrong! You will need much less front light than back light to see things. You need back light ALL THE TIME. You only need front light WHEN IT IS DARK.
These devices will probably have away to produce some "side light" so you can read in the dark
sure there are difference, but they had NO communication with home for years on end, not like these twitterers who were only a short time away.
I am just saying there is something we can learn from history - some things have certainly been done before - or early 20th century antarctic explorers locked up in ice or blizzards for more than a year.
yes, but in the past, if they failed they died alone and silently. In the future, if anyone dies, we will all be watching it in realtime-d/c. And noone wants to watch others die tragically.
Blackberry usage there is very high because you could buy a blackberry easily at any supermarket checkout because the telcos were pushing it hard, and because everyone knew that Blackberry Messaging was "uncrackable", and so people felt safer from being watched. There are MANY foreigners working there and 11% of mobile phone users where using blackberries to communicate - it was also a cheap and secure way to communicate back to family and friends in India.
Also remember that Dubai was where the whole fuss started about Blackberry Messaging being accessible by the authorities started after the killing of Hamas' Mahmoud al-Mabhouh where allegedly the killers used blackberries to communicate with each other.
You are right the the increase of surface gravity is only 25% for a planet 5 times Earth's weight and twice it's radius, but it is not a place to support life....
The Earth's mean density=5.15 g/cm^3
Iron has a density =7.87 g/cm^3
The Earth's inner core of 1200 km is mostly iron with a density near 12 g/cm^3, so that tells you the type of pressure the iron is under. density of Earth's layers
Most rocks have a density < 3 g/cm^3
so I think "your" planet, which has a density of 3.219g/cm^3, has most of it's upper layers far LIGHTER than rock, and that is probably not a place life could form or grow, unless it is a water-world (what else is liquid or low density in the habitable zone?) with incredibly immense ocean depths.
ah no, there is still more amazing hydro potential www.aqualibre.at which could generate 2 TWh/year in just Austrian rivers, keeping out of shipping lanes.
There are still great simple ideas out there to be had.
The greenies now go laughing to the next polls, and 5 years later someone else will go laughing to the polls when personal electricity bills get too expensive and nuclear is sold as "cheaper".
Modern democratic politics is pathetic. Politicians are not interested in change, improvements or ideals - they do whatever wins them polls and votes and gives them airtime - so they can retire out of politics, famous and into a lucrative private sector career.
I was telephoned by a serious, global headhunter who had simply typed my profession and city into LinkedIn - It was a real IT job with >100k$ salary behind it.
I don't want to touch my profile in LinkedIn because 100 people will get an email saying "X has a new position" or "X has joined group Y", or "X is organizing a trip to Y via Z".
Turkey had softporn after midnight on free-to-air TV channels in the early 90's. Konya was the center of fundamentalism back then and had the largest porn sales, overtly on the streets. Porn and Islam go so well together, especially with all that suppressed sexuality. At least they could say they are just practicing for their heavenly virgins.
I doubt the Vatican is any different, with its suppressed sexuality.

18th century sailing to south pacific and back was essentially no different and they were gone 7 years or more.

Yes, if they keep looking they will eventually find the DNA of our beloved overlords.
Why so many balloons, why not 3 or four balloons tethered by a cable at 10,000 m. Or not even tethered at all??

I am stunned to hear that Linux support is worse than Windows. I hate the mouse and am a Windows user.
That thing uses a Nitrogen scrubber to improve Oxygen concentration. By cycling the air pressure in chambers filled with a gas absorbing substance, atmospheric oxygen can be concentrated to 95% purity from http://www.cambridge-design.co.uk/uncategorized/bbc-report-on-cdps-lightweight-oxygen-concentrator/ Consumption of that "substance" needs to be included in the calculation of mpg.
Can someone tell us what this "substance" is?
I wish my laptop booted as fast as his computer!

They are hurting the planet by burning kilowatts for nothing.
