If it's not impossibly heavy and doesn't produce fissile waste it could be used in all sorts of large vehicles, both commercial and military.
But plenty of fusion reactor designs have worked in theory; making them work in practice, though...
When you can't rip off a name in English, do it in Latin!
But hey; at least it's better than CipherShed. My days of not taking FOSS names seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
stealth joke alert
I mistakenly thought the API was public; it would be nice if certain clueless news sites (and the author of TFS) would point out this is a reverse-engineered interface.
It might as well be public, though, considering how long ago it was discovered and how many apps/services/libraries are using it. Snapchat is supposed to be in the business of privacy; if they won't give full effort to protecting their users they deserve this fiasco.
Ars Technica identifies the culprit as SnapSaved, which...secretly saved [users'] images on a SnapSaved server

(and why in god's name does a service like SnapChat have an API?)
Was he or was he not a marathon runner?
TFA ironically begins with the quote '"I don’t think we will ever have enough [computing power] to satisfy us,” says researcher.'
The summary is vague, and the article not much better, and neither say anything about whether the 'new model' is matching observations any better than the old.
It would be nice if they could at least clarify if the sole pair of comparison images are even the same forecast, because the new model shows not only more detail but a completely different prediction.
Come on kids, this isn't a network news sound bite. This is the Internet, and you're a tech news site. Would it kill you to go past the press release?
Maybe I'm just bitter about this because I live in mountains where a coin is a more accurate forecasting tool than the weather service.
Now they can be wrong in hi-def!
Keeping software requirements low is a good thing, and there isn't really any justification for making a basic desktop OS require good hardware if all people want to do is the same stuff they were doing ten years ago. If they wanted to weed out underpowered PCs, they should mandate an improved version of the Windows Experience Index be advertised alongside PCs with simple numbers for office and gaming performance, and maybe energy efficiency.
On the other hand, it's long past time to put 32 bit out to pasture, at least on the desktop. Remember, this OS will probably still be supported in the mid-2020s. I'm not going to want to maintain a 32 bit legacy codebase when PCs are coming with 256GB of ram standard.
Eggman seems like a nice fellow so far. I don't think we can take the walrus's word on this, even if he is part of the maker movement.
And what did he call himself? A "Freedom Fighter"? That's basically another word for terrorist.
"Zero- versus One-based numbering".
So call it "Ford Prefect".
Yes, the system is so horrible these days. Why don't you go to your grandfather and say "Record companies are so unfair now! They let me listen to any song I want at the push of a button, but I have to listen to an ad every fifteen minutes or else pay them money!"
Actually, make sure your grandpa has his cane before you say that.
Because my Altavista bookmark is forwarding me there now. When did this happen?
Oh well, I guess I'll try that new "Hotbot".
They tried that, but the customers all fought for ticket number 7.
