OpenCL, Cuda, CAD, POVRay, Blender..... Not everyone uses Linux the way you do. There are many linux systems that do not have any graphics cards at all and just use a UART.

Agreed that it's not in the summary, but as you correctly note, it's just a "summary". Anyone who reads the underlying blog post will read this among the facts on which the court based its opinion: "The public was allowed to search by keyword. The search results showed only the page numbers for the search term and the number of times it appeared; none of the text was visible."

So those readers who RTFA will be in the know.

Cantor's case shows that you still have to get people to vote for you, you can't simply buy a seat.

Is it possible that the average GOP voter doesn't like illegal immigration from a fairness perspective?

Intel graphics just plain suck... Actually they are not too bad these days but really do not complete with AMD or nVidia.

I think part of the problem is that analog has shifted of the mainstream for hobbyists. Let's face it, a lot of best engineers start as kids and kids today are not getting into HAM radio all that much but instead are working with Arduinos. It is sad.

I like the idea that Humans developed time travel and went back in time and set up the universe so that humans are the only intelligent species in the galaxy and made time travel impossible. But lets face it. Humans have only been a technological species for around 130 or so years depending on where you draw the line. You could have a lot of civilisations that never develop past victorian levels of technology. Or we just have not been interesting enough for long enough.

XKCD should do a what if? for how a trampoline could be used to get to the space station.

It always seemed like a mistake to get involved in such a venture with the Russians. Any joint venture with two co-equals with somewhat cold relations seems destined to lead to problems as each side has conflicting goals (sometimes unrelated to the joint venture).

" Also unlike Florida, it would have been not nearly so far from the Houston command center."
Cape Canaveral pre-dates NASA in Houston. You see mission control was in Florida for Mercury and Gemini and was moved because... LBJ had some buddies that would make a lot of money if Mission control was moved to Houston. The Eastern Test Range which is what NASA uses for the Cape was already set up and working long before Houston Control.
It is also not as far south as you can get in the lower 48, that would have been Key West and their was a navy base their but logistics would have been terrible.

It does not have to be A or B.
A police officer on the job in pubic has no expectation of privacy just as you do not have any expectation of privacy at a bar. "Outside of the restroom that is".
A person on a phone call does have an expectation of privacy.

sigh...
I said Asimov invented the term Robotics not Robot.

Wow people on Slashdot just can not read....
The play RUR is where the word Robot comes from.
Robotics was a term invented by Asimov.

"But if you want to talk about the guy who invented Robots "!="Really the man that invented the term robotics"

Yes I have heard of RUR but just can not find a copy, been looking decades on and off. Asimov invented the term robotics. Different thing. I did not mention RUR since it involved killer robots.
