I thought it was administered dorsally these days.

Only when I'm writing CSS.

* Batteries have far lower energy density than gasoline (and even most explosives).

* Batteries have a maximum discharge rate, which means they can't release all their energy instantaneously under practical conditions. In other words, instead of detonating like a firecracker, they tend to just spray fire and sparks for a few minutes like a fountain.

* "Real" explosives are not hard to acquire or manufacture, and bags of fertilizer and cans of fuel oil cost far less than an equivalent mass of Li-Ion batteries.

Can't say I'm rooting for either party here, but I hate the idea of SEPs in general... If a method is literally the only permitted way to do a thing, should it be patentable?

For a second I thought they meant these deep links.

Somewhere, the NSA has a warehouse full of your genitalia.

I think the writer is saying on average people are more likely to build with plywood or drywall in their garage instead of less permissive materials like brick, concrete, or metal.

So, statistically speaking, a radar system is more effective against walls built in a garage than walls built outside of a garage.

As usual, the article may provide clarification, but I've found I can avoid the trouble of reading them by simply making wild assumptions.

True, but an Al-ion battery definitely has potential*, even if this team hasn't achieved it yet.

Al also has ~5x the physical density of Li at ~1/5th the price, so even if it doesn't outperform Li's energy density for a while it will still be better for many applications.

In a few years we'll have videophiles who buy 2048 DPI screens and $1000 woven silver DisplayPort cables and describe how their new baby produces such a visual canvas with airy colors and edgy lines that add presence to windows and make Chrome seem more forward.

I can't find a free copy of PC Magazine's 2012 best apps, but given the others I have little reason to doubt it. The average reviewer has nary a clue about cryptography, and from an end user standpoint, the app seems well made and has several clever features. It would be easy to assume the app lives up to its claims.

Mind you, it still seems a useful app just for its ability to hide content from casual snoops (the app can even hide its presence on the device), though it is quite overpriced and likely to disappear after this entirely deserved PR disaster.

No, he was pointing out that rewarding teachers for high test scores is likely to result not in better teaching but more cheating and manipulation of the results.

We've been obsessing over test scores for a while now and it doesn't seem to improve the quality of education.

It has the power to go as fast as the Bugatti, but (apparently) not the gearing. At 161mph it'll be using a heck of a lot less than 1MW, so the battery should last much longer than 3m.

The extra power *will* give it crazy acceleration even up steep inclines, which is far more useful on Pike's Peak than pure top speed.

Before the Internet, we said the same things about people who relied on books for knowledge.

Also, xkcd.

The 'real' White House has a lot of valuable antiques (including the building itself), a large number of regular employees, and a steady stream of guests and visiting dignitaries.
Even a simulated terrorist attack could get messy, and they'd have the inconvenience of having to schedule around the President and staff's activities.
A staging site makes perfect sense here.

Apparently the closest chapter is in Pyongyang.
