As long as you control for the vestibular response of your subjects -- or have enough to drown the effect out. Having vestibular issues isn't all that uncommon -- my daughter has been seeing an occupational therapist for just that.
Danilo Odell: Yeah, what the hell was that thing? Lieutenant Worf: Automated fire system. A force field contains the flame until the remaining oxygen has been consumed. Danilo Odell: Ah, yeah, w-what if I had been under that thing? Lieutenant Worf: You would have been standing in the fire. Danilo Odell: Yeah, well, leaving that aside for the moment, I mean, what would have happened to me? Lieutenant Worf: You would have suffocated and died. Danilo Odell: Ye-ah, sweet mercy.
The problem with Plutonium is not its radioactivity, but its toxicity. Extremely small doses are fatal. However, we are still well below that level -- as long as the workers who found it don't get thirsty.
Lovers of classical music usually take their horseless carriage to a convenient local musical emporium. A variety of cylinders are available for the various gramophones on the market. Please note that one does not actually purchase the cylinder -- one instead purchases the right to play the cylinder under certain circumstances, as laid out in the license agreement that accompanies it.
There are companies that do this professionally. It generally requires a clean room, although perhaps not as good as one required for other purposes. Also, if he has the equipment to read a platter himself (which I strongly doubt), writing should be just one more step -- mounting a write head.
Also, although I am not in Comcast's service area, if I were I don't think I would want to sign a piece of paper saying I used one or more P2P services between two dates. The MPAA and RIAA are way too aggressive to give them even a sliver of help for $16.
Once again the lawyers are the only winners. $16 is farcical, and the total $16 million is a rounding error for Comcast -- it doesn't serve as much incentive against bad behaviour in the future.
Actually at the moment things are going from green to desert. Desertification is a major problem around the world, including Africa and China, where arable land is being lost to the expansion of major deserts.
This is just like on the Flintstones, where everything is made out of stone -- because it's the Stone Age, silly! Further research will reveal the pterodactyl airplanes, I'm sure.
Why, the article might lead one to think that Codeplex was set up as an entirely self-serving initiative under Microsoft's firm control! Who could imagine such a thing?!
But for a DVD sale, they only get the money when the DVD is bought new. They don't get anything for a resale of a DVD. I think that is a much better analogy than the money for a broadcast over TV or whatever.
This is just like with a car, or some other item, where the original manufacturer gets a kickback every time it is resold because -- hey, wait, they don't get anything from it because that's a stupid idea! The original manufacturer has already sold it and given up any future interest in it for a fair price! Why the hell would the maker of a bad video game get more money every time EB manages to fob it off again on an unsuspecting customer?
The people answering the survey recognize -- apparently better than the people who looked at the results -- that every airport has some food in it, but not every airport has acceptable Wi-Fi. No one answering the survey was thinking "I'd rather starve on the net than feast without it!"
I think this definition is pretty damn useless -- how is one supposed to calculate this value for anything but trivial example cases? You would have to determine the value of each transaction, and then the 'value-add' of the network for that transaction, as determined by the user. I make 'transactions' (financial and otherwise) on the Internet all the time, and I couldn't begin to guess at useful values for these. And I'm just one of millions of such users.
Finally, how would one even begin to define 'value' for the transactions in a social network? How much (or little!) is being poked worth?!?
I was going to complain that this is not a very interesting story for 98% of Slashdot, who has never seen an XServe and is happier for it, but since the link is already slashdotted, I guess I should complain about that instead.

Can I drink it?
Hmm, my sign appears to have shifted from Leo the Lion to the Michelin Man. My birth animal remains the Mexican Jumping Bean.

That's why he said 'please'. :-)
It's always "aliens have invaded", or "nuke goes off in major city", or "Duke Nukem is still not available"...

Did kdawson worry that we might think GM executives would have to take a bath literally?

Good luck. And enjoy the speeds you have been blessed with, son.

Best of luck getting Pizza Hut to deliver past security.

The next Slashdot poll should ask which alien race is responsible for this. I'm voting for the CowboyNealiens.
Good point. My best guess would be that they are actually 1.5 TB drives. That would get the numbers about right.
And where does one get the time to read this book, exactly?
