Incorrect. Communism only "works" when it is implemented perfectly. Anything short of perfect ends in collapse. Free markets work proportionally to how strongly the principles are followed. Free markets don't require perfect implementation. If they did, the US never would have advanced from colonial backwater to industrial superpower over the fifty years following the end of Reconstruction, which is the period that was the closest to a perfect free market that any modern society has produced, but was still quite far away from the ideal, with institutional racism everywhere, and massive government intervention in the markets with the founding of the central bank in 1913.
They were able to receive the video feed two years ago. The same video feed received by the controllers. This means they had access to a data line going to the controller. In two years, they were able to exploit this widely known vulnerability to install a keylogger on the control station. What will happen in two more years, with all of the information gathered from there?
All because they are so stupid they can't even encrypt their damn signal.
Also note that you can't hack a TV station via a TV feed because they are BROADCASTING, not receiving. However, you could probably hack an unprotected computer using a digital tuner to receive that data over the air. That is likely what happened here.
These drones are so vulnerable, their use in combat is totally laughable. Iraqi insurgents could intercept their communications with $26 software! Two years ago! Their shit is apparently totally unencrypted, and as such, has now been exploited to the point where they are now able to infiltrate the control software.
Next thing you know, these guys will turn the whole damn fleet of drones against us. Just what I wanted my tax dollars going toward, free fucking aerial suicide bombers for al Qaeda, drug cartels, and script kiddies.
No, it captures heat by increasing electron mobility through the aromatic p-orbitals that pervade the entire sheet. That is, it converts heat into electron flow, ie electricity, without damaging the substrate.
It sounds like they had to treat different sections of it to produce a gradient of some sort.
If the treatment is simple enough, then probably, yes.
I wish they would put out some actual numbers, like how much current and amperage they got off of how big a "panel" in sunlight, or a wavelength response study. They said that even IR made a response. That might well mean that you could harness HEAT. If that turned out to be the case, then this would be huge. As it is, it might be huge anyways.
This isn't Sid Meyer, this is real life. You have many people working on many different methods, and the best one wins out. You don't know what will work and what won't before-hand.
As in climate science, anyone who believed that there are particles that can exceed the speed of light is a "relativity denier". The AC above is merely pointing out the hypocrisy that we are allowed to question relativity, something that has been exhaustively studied for decades by people who WANTED to disprove it (and thus get a Nobel Prize), but we can't question Climate science, where everyone tries to prove that the AGW hypothesis is true (and thus get more grant funding).
Color me confused, but ALL exothermic reactions create radiation. You are going to need to be a little more specific on the type of radiation you are expecting. Not all nuclear reactions produce all kinds of radiation, and the point of cold fusion is that a catalyst is used which allows only one type of fusion to occur. This isn't a high energy reaction where atoms are fusing willy-nilly. Only one type of fusion will occur here, producing only the types of radiation that that fusion produces.
What does congress shutting off sources of bank funds, resulting in new fees have to do with the free market?
What does banking in general have to do with the free market? In a free market, all the big banks would have failed, and the invisible hand would have redistributed their resources to other financial institutions that did a better job of risk management.
Learn the difference between fascism and free market economic systems. Knowing the difference might just save your life one day.
Actually, bitchslapped by the very visible hand of the government. Wrap everything in red tape to the point that it costs ten times more to have the same standard of living as even the highly corrupt India, then complain when marginal jobs move overseas, and finally blame it all on the free market.
The reason you can see the hand in those comics is because it is the hand of fascism, not the invisible hand of the free market. America gave up any claim to having a free market when they implemented a central bank.
A new species of monkey was recently discovered in Papua New Guinea, along with a new species of large cat, IIRC. There are certainly strange things to be discovered out there.
I don't see a tribe of Neanderthals being among them, though. There is little reason for a hominid to live in such a harsh climate, and they would have interacted and, as we have found out recently, interbred with humans until they were fully hybridized.
If there is a Yeti, the likelihood of it being a hominid is close to zero. Much more likely is that it is a new species of ape or even bear.
Exactly, they have plenty of money the way there are plenty of cookies in the cookie jar. Mama put a bunch in, and only took a couple out, but if you open it up and look, all there are are IOUs in there (ie they bought US treasuries, meaning the money was put into the central fund and spent, and now taxpayers have to pay to keep Social Security going in real time).
If a private company had done such a thing, the whole board would be under the jail.

He died and was resurrected three days later, to bring us the glory of graphene materials.

You say that, but all I ever get when I post physical chemistry arguments is people spitting in my face.
You forgot the hydrogen.

Uhhh, it's called hydrolysis. This is not a scientific mystery.
Iron is not involved in this process. It goes from nickel to copper.

Sounds perfect for a probe so close to the sun.
Supposed to be "lowest bidder to hit the spec". But who knows with these TBTF zombies.
They don't care because they are too big to fail.
Fascism, in MY country?

What, we can't have both?
Throw up your cake and lose it too.
In this economy, those are the same thing, sadly.
Hey, if you can't get them out, breed them out! That's how the Longshanks tribe rolls.

I'm all for this, after all, you should never trust a robot you can't throw out the window.
Yeah! Everyone knows there is no such thing as the lowland gorilla!
Oh wait, you mean the locals were right?
