Honestly, I find my buggiest code is the easiest crap that I'm just not paying attention to. The moment I have a solid challenge my interest peaks and getting it singing perfectly is the only acceptable end result. It may take a few tries but it's what I thrive on. I'm my least productive and most careless on the routine pointless tasks.
Wasn't implying they didn't use the biggest/best... just meant that the definition of that has changed a lot over the years.
Somebody didn't read the article:
"However, there are doubts around the world about the Nicaragua Canal project, mainly focusing on its engineering difficulty and funding during the construction phase and the economic viability after completion."
I said it would be comparatively cheaper. Panama Canal cost about $59/cubic metre excavated. Nicaragua Canal will be $10/cubic metre excavated if the estimates hold.
Panama didn't have the benefit of the massive machines available now. It will likely be much cheaper compartitively.
What I find interesting is the complete disregard for some amazing sites. Las Lajas River has this: http://www.beautifulplacesguid... three of the four proposed routes for the 3rd section head through a national reserve. The shortest route of course splits the reserve in half. http://www3.varesenews.it/imma...
Another question to ask is, why was someone at google looking at someone's personal email account?
I suspect they weren't. They probably have an agreement with the police where their image matching algorithms are used to compare known child porn images against images sent to/from gmail and as they crawl the web.
Disregard the above, misinformed comment. mea culpa
Even if you didn't use AdBlock, HTTPS Everywhere takes care of it very nicely.
Probably are - higher due to transmission through water but comparable.
wow, who knew boobs could be so controversial

Yes, and the typical engine development costs about $5 billion - granted this is much cheaper now thanks to 3D printing.
If they can build the power train + fuel cell for under $50,000 they'll probably be selling them at cost but for a run of no more than 10,000 vehicles that's actually pretty good for this stage of development. I'd think they'll have a mass production + profitable model within the next 3-7 years. Don't know if they'll be worth it due to the cost of fuel and the fact that natural gas is the cheapest method of producing said fuel - that's going to be a bigger stumbling block than making the car profitable.
The proposal does call for a "ramp up" period where the sounds get louder and louder. Unfortunately, studies in Scotland found that fish are attracted to the noise from air cannons (no data on mammals)
Speaking strictly in terms of pressure:
- A 1kt nuclear explosion is 300-310db re 1 Pa at 1m
- A seismic air cannon is 264-270db re 1 Pa at 1m
- Whales can go anywhere from 108 to 225b re 1 Pa at 1m
Looking at that without any context one might think it's no big deal. Except that for every 6db you're doubling the pressure.
240db re 1 Pa at 1m is 100% lethal to fish and mammals up to 125m, permanent hearing loss on all trauma frequencies to >50% of fish/mammals to a range of 900m and causes some permanent hearing damage up to 1.5km (McAnuff and Booren, 1976; Yelverton and Richmond, 1981; Phillips et al., 1989: Richmond et al., 1989; Myricket ai., 1989)
130kg @ 300m is 286db at source, 199db at 20km. So no, your typical 200lbs depth charge will not come anywhere near this insanity.
Boobs.
