Damn, that's only 99.99...% of the universe!

From your own link:

However, countermeasures exist in the form of specialized light sensors that can detect the light from the beam. Rippled glass can be used as a defense, as it provides a poor surface for a laser microphone.

You say "little different from a laser mic". Yes, innovation is incremental, this is an increment.

Easier and more effective: don't visit the site for a week. That will get their attention. I don't think any of the suits are actually reading the comments, do you?

A lot of people talk about leaving Slashdot for good, which they may or (more likely) may not do - why not leave it for a week?

That's what I'm doing... from... now!

Genuine question - if you live only 4.5 miles away, did you consider walking?

I know nothing about Atlanta, so I know there could be a genuine reason - just wondering if it was because there are no pavements on the route, because it was too cold, because you just thought walking might be more dangerous than driving, or something else??

You know, if everyone took your advice, there would be no PS4s sold, and certainly no Rev. B!

It's easier to say.

Plus, it's fairly descriptive - it's almost 4000 pixels wide, and it's 4 x the resolution of HD.

I don't see the problem here, and I don't think it's "just marketing". People would come up with their own shorthand anyway if it was marketed at 3840x2160.

I added in what you left out.
Were you purposely being disingenuous?

Maybe because they don't know the context of the video he's making??

You really don't understand why people would be more concerned by a suspicious creep pointing a camera in their faces than a CCTV camera high up on a pole?

I get the point he's trying to make, but I think he's incredibly obnoxious in making it.

We don't know. But it's still worth detecting them.

Should we stop looking for planets until we have the capability to get satellite imagery of the cities on them?

Well there's at least one reason to assume that - mirroring all the parts would mean a hell of a lot less re-use between LHD and RHD cars.

Umm... 25kg of Aluminium, i.e. something you can easily lift with one arm - I think that might fit in the trunk.

You're assuming that you start from nothing, or from pure energy. Creating dark matter could just mean converting ordinary matter in some way.

Converting hydrogen and oxygen into 1 tonne of water doesn't require E = 1000*c^2 (rocket engineers might tell you it actually gives you energy out), but you get 1000kg of water at the end.

Looks like Slashdot has the same issue.

For example, this. No user authentication required at all.

I love the new HTC One for that reason - they reduced the camera to 4MP to improve low-light performance. As it should be.

No, I mean those who do use it, and are now having second thoughts about everything Google.

I think this has finally got the message through to many people (myself included), that Google will can anything. Reader wasn't exactly an experiment - it was almost 8 years old. Not really in sync with their push for us to rely more and more on the "cloud".
