I am a 23andme member and my genetic test showed that I am sensitive to warfarin. That's something I never knew before. If I ever get into a situation where that drug is used, having informed the doctor of this potential problem just might have saved my life. There is no possibility that this information could result in any harm, because if the doctor gives a lower than normal dose and it's not effective, he can simply give more.

When war is excused, for any reason, it is a sign that civilization is failing. It's the exact same thing as college sports.

When the only way to resolve matters is with bombs, then we're all going to die in a war. I don't understand why the US doesn't just impose sanctions on Syria. Seriously, wtf are they going to do, bomb the place(s) that are producing chemical weapons? I guess that's one thing they could do, but how about simply go in and try to talk it out? Or stay the hell out of the way? If the US puts itself into their war, then won't that make more people hate the US, and in turn, create more reasons for terrorists to try to fuck with the American people?

If they are airtight, maybe some could float? If you bump into one of those 7000 while you are out jet skiing, can you take it home as yours? Finders keepers? Or does the shipping company still own the containers?

Even if that was what happened, that has nothing to do with overloading. Verifying container weight wouldn't solve the problem.

BTW, did you even look at the pictures?

If you have germaphobic tendencies, think of this the next time you're in a public bathroom: what is the last thing touched before you wash your hands and the first thing touched after you wash your hands?

The use of an ever-so-slightly curved face on the Galaxy Nexus seemed to bring some anti-shatter success. I wonder why that wasn't further explored in any subsequent models.

First of all make sure you apply to the big defense contractors. Lockheed Martin especially likes to hire ex-military. Given that you were a jet pilot, I mean that's pretty damn impressive. Emphasize how you can work with complicated systems. Flying a jet isn't easy. Were you a leader in the military? Emphasize leadership skills. I assume flying combat missions takes communication skills too. Emphasize those.

How is this news? Oh right, it's not - It says so right in the title.

Can I start submitting stories about how h.264 conversion consumes CPU cycles? I mean, it theoretically doesn't need to - I can fathom a zero-work scenario where it just happens. I can even give a play-by-play about how I open my system monitor to verify performance. Amazing stuff!

Honestly. How did this BS make it to the frontpage.

Remote control is not a direct connect. It follows communications paths, and the information and control path apparently connects through the internet, both through the display and control path.

No one needs direct connection within the airplane -- all ya need to do is control it through the internet, at any receiver path, and any transmitting path. with additional directional antenna paths.

Can't do it from onboard, has to be from a remote site, and will involve additional receiver and transmit packages, not included on the android phone. (don't even have to be near the android used for control).

That;s a lovely boat. It's a work boat, not a pagoda on a glass brick like some other luxury yachts we've dissected. It might even weather a real storm in a real ocean as opposed to sinking at the dock as soon as the tide turned.

He should donate to a real oceanography group, Scripps, Texas A&M, hell, NOAA could probably use it.

Or, if he will simply transfer the title to me, I'll pay for the moorage and start buying lottery tickets to put fuel in the thing. Maybe a kickstarter project....
