I was thinking more like Beryllium Spheres.

"But it may be a case of too little, too late as "a report (PDF) released in August forecasted that U.S. websites will lose US$21.8 billion in ad revenue this year due to ad blockers," writes Jeremy Kirk.".... Really?

That's a very large assumption, just like the RIAA's claims of lost sales due to piracy. With or without ad blockers, I never click on ads. If I want to buy something I seek it out and research it online before buying via online or brick and mortar. If an ad is a popover, auto play video or audio ad, or any other type of ad that gets in the way or slows down my access to viewing a website I wish to visit, I will leave before the page loads. Embedded static ads are the way to go. Why should I have to wait on a slow third party ad sever to decide which irrelevant ad to show me?

I had to laugh when I visited their website, they build a hurricane resistant house on a non-hurricane resistant sandbar(in the rendering). That is one of the problems facing us, the idiotic notion that a sandbar, sometimes called a barrier island, is a good place to build permanent structures. We shouldn't waste private and public money on these areas as well as flood plains along lakes and rivers.

Bob Lutz may be an icon of the automotive industry, but he is also a protector of the Detroit old guard automotive types.
  So when Bob says, "And when it comes to actually making cars," Lutz said, "there is no reason to assume that Apple, with no experience, will suddenly do a better job than General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota or Hyundai. So I think this is going to be a gigantic money pit, but then it doesn't matter. I mean Apple has an embarrassment of riches, they don't know where to put the cash anymore. So if they burn 30 or 40 billion dollars in the car business, no one's going to notice.",
  I hear: "Apple may force the old guard automotive types to once again step up to the plate and innovate and compete with this newcomer called Apple." And they hate to change unless forced to. Change costs money they hate to spend.

"HP To Jettison Up To 30,000 Jobs As Part of Spinoff"

If done from the ISS you would have 30K of pretty light streaks in the night sky . http://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-...

It seems HP has as much concern for it's workers a human waste, they both get jettisoned.
So rather than meet cost of living payroll obligations they just shift the work overseas because of course that will create more consumers that can afford to buy their products in the US?

Flash has it's inherent problems , but lately the bigger problem is a webpage freezing until all the Ad's load. They could at least host the Ad's on the same server. I know part of the delay is looking up your special cookie for each Ad so you can be targeted.

So the solution for the car thief is to know what the garbage collection day is for your street. Just park it somewhere else.

This study reminds me that 25% to35% of our TV viewing time per hour is taken up with commercials.

See what happens when weak minded people watch Capricorn One.

I wonder if the court has a place on their website to comment on their rulings?
If so then.... open the floodgates of comments!

Back in the '60s I was able to control the image quality on the invention of Philo Taylor Farnsworth just by waving my arms.

So living things will eventually lead to Flat Earth due to erosion. Maybe I should have said flat earth, as in soil under your feet.

Preacher: Are you a sinner? Do you wish to be saved?

Dr. James Xavier: Saved? No. I've come to tell you what I see. There are great darknesses. Farther than time itself. And beyond the darkness... a light that glows, changes... and in the center of the universe... the eye that sees us all.

[Looks up at the sky]

Dr. James Xavier: No!

Preacher: You see sin and the devil! But the lord has told us what to do about it. Said Matthew in Chapter Five, "If thine eye offends thee... pluck it out!"

In the video, it looked like the booster came in too hot(fast) on final approach. This necessitated more severe corrections just prior to touchdown.

We so often discuss what the "Big Bang" may be, but we rarely discuss what the... let's call it... Edge of the Universe is like. Would it be a discrete boundary or a diffusion of particles and energy perhaps even a new set of physical laws?
