When I used to download music in the 00's, I would create text files with roughly the same file size as the most popular songs at the time and change the extension to mp3. I would usually misspell the filename, just in case they tried to claim copyright over that! I would then prey they would send me a cease and desist. Fuck the RIAA.

They both finally wised up and realized they can cut a huge operating expense by dropping any lawsuits against each other. I could imagine they'll save tremendously in legal expenses.

Wow. That's Outstanding work (at those distances and times required for communication). These truly are some steely eyed missile men.

I hope it goes down for at least 142 minutes. They can then see "The Shawshank Redemption". But back to my point, I did not see any search that revealed movies by run time. Interesting...

Edward Scissorhands has exactly nothing to to with this other than having a run time length of 105 minutes. I find their use of this as a perfect analogy to the Library of Congress, only in a matter that some will actually comprehend. One of the best headlines I've seen on Slashdot as of late.

There already is an iTunes for 3D. It's called Shapeways.com

'We need to adapt this energy generation to "sweater meat". This will end the "energy" debate(s) once and for all.' Man will be too busy or tired with "sweater meat", to give a damn.

Wouldn't a dry fire stress the components more? I mean, we are not talking about toy magnets. I guess they've determined that it is completely acceptable so I will certainly defer to their judgment. I need to read up some more on its power generation and magnetic systems.

Using this for a space elevator isn't the best use for this. If these fibers are flexible enough, you could weave them into flexible body armor. Imagine light weight "kitchen" gloves that you can't cut through even with the sharpest knife. Shark protection (but not against lasers...yet). These fibers could replace carbon fiber in high strength areas. Have short enough fibers and use them for 3D printing. They are already using carbon fiber in 3D printers, this could replace it for extreme strength parts. If cheap enough, this could replace carbon fiber in safety situations (racing, boating, aircraft). Now imagine a crash at a race, except this time, the body deforms, but does not disintegrate. I think this is a major announcement in materials science, and I'm curious just how many other areas this could advance.

" (yes, it will run Crysis, just barely;) " You sir, win the internet.

We're whalers on a comet.....now with harpooning action!

In the USA, I believe that we classify a drone as a flying vehicle which can be remotely piloted via either instrument or visual feedback. Anything else is just R/C stuff. I believe that is what these craft are. Although I did see one listed at frys.com going for $250 USD that had FPV video included in the controller. But I digress, my point is that anyone operating these type of craft "drones" should be operating like they would any other flying vehicle and be aware of their surroundings. It's a damn quad-copter with FPV feedback!, why the hell wouldn't you be constantly looking around? If more parents had taught their ignorant children, people would know better, but Nooooo. Some idiot has to shit in the gene pool.

It rhymes with "hyper".

This makes absolute sense. It also has the added incentive of resolving the H1-B visa situation: 1. All of the Americans living along the line where the timezones change can watch Jeopardy an hour earlier. 2. They head to a location in the later timezone playing Jeopardy on TV. 3. Instant geniuses! 4. Profit!
