and that is exactly how science advances , by standing still ..

Have we lost all humanity ??? In many ways we extend care to creatures .. protect the innocent .. those unable to cope with our new world .. and now we've descended to the pits of depravity .. murdering our national symbol and more .. for what??? So Big Biz wont have to install screening around turbines???? This is disgusting news .. repulsive, vomitous ...

It *could* have been ' a baited breath ..' .. which then would beg the question: 'baited with what? .. a dead fish'?? ' Why oh why do these errors endure! Gentlemen and gentlewomen.. the accurate phrase is " abated breath ' .. "abate : to decrease; diminution; to lessen ; abate one's breath .. to hold it .. usually in anticipation ; " to wait with abated breath .." 'An ' can precede , as in " each person waited with an abated breath" (tho this is cumbersome construction).

Many here seem to miss the point regarding consumer rejection of this technology. Giving your fingerprint to a company which, according to the latest news, could very well be cooperating with the NSA's privacy invading tactics would seem foolish, to say the least! If the print is in the phone, what is to stop Apple from cooperating or being ordered by a Court to send that data to the government? Open thine eyes, people .. Don't just read the news .. learn by it!

On ??

This is insane. Let them first develop 100.00000000000%-reliable-accurate-faultless technology before putting the entire planet .. every lifing thing on or above earth .. at serious risk of vaporization. These people ought to be institutionalized ...

Get yourself a Aamsung Galaxy Note 2 holstered by the OtterBox model-specific holster.
Then Mod the holserer by drilling camera hole.
Theis holster accepts the cam facing out or reverse, is rock solid, ande (seemingly unkonwn o to it's mfgr, will function as a 'landscape-mode cellphone 'desk stand' ..

Pricey but worth it..
Forgie misspellings: im forced to type with 'white on white' ..cant read this myself..

yeah.. the only integration in my career in comp sci and the biological sciences was to assure that non-whites had equal room at the table ... but i would not trade my calc history for aNYthing ... it nearly did influence me to change to a mathematics major .. The logic, the approaches to analytic thinking that a math background provids are not duplicated in any other area.. and isnt comp sci 'practical logic'??

riight.. I can't grasp the 62 mi. altitude limit ... Surely the enironment at that altitude is essentially the same as at 300 miles, no? I mean, if ya wanna thriLLL GO for it! Oxygen, etc, should not be a problem .. nor can i think of any other safety issue more far-fetched than the project itself (other than the stupid 'boot thruster' idea!)

Reading the original PDF, I noted the following: "Our testing framework detects unserializable writes with HDD#1, too. This indicates that some low-end hard drives may also ignore the flush requests sent from the kernel. On the other hand, HDD#2 incurred no failures due to power faults. This suggests that this high-end hard drive is more reliable in terms of power fault protection." Now, for ref, the above involved testing TWO spin-type HDD's .. HDD#2 was the 2nd drive of the pair, and it reportedly did not fail. While I was doing bio research I recall this joke: "33% of the test subjects improved with the treatment, 33% had no improvement, and the 3rd mouse got away" WHY oh why even *mention* such a meaningless 'result' in a paper that otherwise seems to adhere to proper scientific methods?? Oh , and yes, of course, how come it's ONLY the researchers who learned which drive brands did well?? Was this gov-funded? This is important, for if we were to learn that the SSD's that did well are no longer available on the market, it would save us a LOT of time, not even considering that any of the 'surviving' SSD's might be known to have other serious flaws in design .. (i.e.: in performance ) !!

that was a RIOT!!! tnx!

""The fastest typing speed ever, 216 words in one minute, was achieved by Stella Pajunas in 1946 on an IBM electric.[6][7][8][9] As of 2005, writer Barbara Blackburn was the fastest English language typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 wpm for 50 minutes, and 170 wpm for shorter periods. She has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 wpm. Blackburn, who failed her QWERTY typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career. She appeared on The David Letterman Show and felt that Letterman made a spectacle of her.[10]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_per_minute

so, are you really t h a t stup id ???
(forgive the spaces: /. is censoring my real words).

He did NOT say it was his wife! He used that as an EXAMPLE!

Is this the 'new face' of ignorance? .. your projecting that randomness (i.e., NO plan) can be your 'god' , the one who you must feel does have a plan? Is this the new 'nut-speech' concept? And do you feel that your 'planning god' established the perception of 'randomness' as a delusion the experience of which we may endure? Does this, in your mind, mean that all atheists are actually acting out your 'god's plan? Double-speak in any form is still double-speak. Your probable belief that your 'god's creating this world (was it 10,000 yrs ago?) as a shooting gallery where countless asteroid-missiles bombard us (and even wipe out most life-forms every 23 million years) is just another manifestation of his (never 'her') love and benevolence! "Faith" ????? Is there any other item that has wrecked more havoc , destroyed more lives, impeded more progress in our human condition? I think not.
