A good road should last for tens of centuries. The Romans understood that, and engineered their roads accordingly. To blithely dismiss their roadbuilding expertise as consisting of "flat rocks" ignores the engineering underneath the road, described here. Or if you have kids, David Macauley's City may still hold up after nearly forty years.
  American roads rarely last more than a few decades, unless consistently and constantly maintained. But they are comparatively cheap. I hear that European approaches tend to produce a more durable road, at greater expense.

That said, the solar roadway may not turn out to be a very good road by this metric, despite the added construction expense.

I use classic-- beta's kerning is horrible. But, honestly, beta's easy to turn off-- rather close to permanently,

If only submitters edited the summaries to be pedantically correct, /. could truly become a refuge from the the usual 14m3r crowd.

but in a sense, the article is correct; the iphone 6 has the same gigabyte as the iphone 5.

Does Flickr store RAW yet?

> I just don't see a pressing need to add more memory on the low-end model.

more RAM is always welcome, and a mere 1GB is criminal in this day and age

What's this "beta" I keep hearing about?

fishing contributes maybe 1 percent of Spain's gdp; Catalonia's gdp is 20 percent of Spain's.

I'm sure that there's a scenario in which Little Green Men lay the groundwork for a successful independence vote and subsequent Irish annexation.

Hah. Good Point. The lens in question is full frame, but I have a APS-C body. Still, Rodenstock, among others does make a large format macro lens for 4x5 cameras.

Yep. I recently acquired a inexpensive macro zoom lens. At 1:2-- yes, yes, it's not true macro-- I have to hold the camera very close-- a few centimetres-- to whatever I'm trying to focus on. At the faster f-stops, the depth of field is wafer thin-- a good photographer with a fast macro can make that lens "bulge" disappear. Most macro technique involves stopping down the aperture (and consequently needing to use some sort of flash) and focus stacking to get as much depth of field as possible-- neglecting to do so for artistic reasons is quite doable.

And especially not to revenue earned (or, to be fair, booked) in the Cayman Islands!

Presumably that's because athletes are more willing than other market segments to pay to repair or replace broken items.

Nope-- they would drop frames. The write speed is not sufficient for raw 4k video. It's good for about 1.5 hours of video, perhaps even more since 95MB/sec is the read speed, and not the (almost certainly) slightly slower write speed, and of course, it's unlikely that the camera will produce data at this exact speed.

The blackmagic cameras are typically used with SSDs. even though some SanDisk extreme Pro SDCards support 280 MB/s reads. This 512 GB card is hogtied by its slow speed, even though 95 MB/s would ordinarily be regarded as pretty speedy.

The range is 30 miles. Periodically, the busses will fully recharge in seven and half minutes.

So, $825,000 for the electric bus, but only $80,000 in fuel costs over 12 years, vs $447,000 for a diesel bus with $500,000 in fuel costs. In theory, economical, but there are also air quality improvements-- depending on how the electricity is sourced.
