Maybe they should go back to having 3 crew members in the cockpit on the large passenger planes.
Yes I know its going to cost money, but how much did that plane cost, and there have been other times when the pilot or copilot has deliberately crashed the plane.
(I remembere an egyptian one)
We still don't know about MH370

on the speed of your memory, and the speed of your disk, SSD's are getting more common.

"Do you know what a goddamn LIMIT is, fool? You are not supposed to ever reach it, much fucking less go past it!"

The pnly speed limit that applies to is c

So how come that happened in our solar system, but not in the many other exo-planetary systems that we have found recently/

"well what it leads to is just apps being first developed on 7.0, then having stuff fixed for 7.5, then being rewritten for 8.0 and then again the project reworked for 8.1 and then a total rewrite for 10."

There was a Windows 7.5 ?

And this device will be able to test for these conditions in a few seconds? That would be really cool, since current tests for some of these take a day or more.
or multiple tests over time.

EG the TB test (yes I know its not called a manteau any more) has to be read between 48 - 72 hours. Other items on those lists need a culture to be examined after 24 hours.

"Yeah, and are these patients consenting to this?"

I'd guess they'd have to sign a waiver..

"And what does the TOS say about who owns the data?"

Is that Terms Of Service, or The Original Series (since we are talking Star Trek)

Anyway there already exist those wheeled 'nurse on a stick' machines that measure vitals, I am not sure how much this tricorder adds to the diagnostics.
What is needed is connectivity between those machines and the software that does the charting.

We should stop using the word renewable for energy like solar wind and hydro. Its not theoretically renewable, but thats not the point. The point is that they don't emit CO2 into the atmosphere, and thats the thing that is going to screw up the climate.
So we should be using the term Non-Carbon-Emitting energy sources. We could even use the acronym NCE but its probably already in use in some other field.

Companies in other states that buy CA produced crops should have to send the watere equivalent back to CA.

"How can you have 1.5 children per household?"

Shared custody, happens quite a bit these days.

Maybe I could use this tablet at work without the infection control officer (and charge nurse) complaining...

I thought that for a short time after the big bang there was a period of 'inflation' when the universe expanded faster than light.
But its not expanding like that now.

I'd rather live in a state where Amazon wasn't, have 2 day free shipping, and not have to pay sales tax.

And how many customs officials do they have on duty at AKL anyway? do they have time to go through all 300+ passengers phones/tablets/laptops?

And of course you could keep you sensitive data on a 64GB microSD card, easy enough to hide, and just have a card in the machine with your music and ebooks to keep you amused on the long flight. (its about 12 hrs from LAX)

But I will stick with Win 7 anyway.
I don't want a phone/tablet OS on my desktop
