Cyanobacteria is actually a better plan. It lives, takes in CO2 dies and sinks to the bottom of the ocean taking much of the CO2 with it. It's how some of the coal, oil and gas were made to begin with, along with a lot of limestone.

Ha ha that's funny. err maybe you don't know? Which is even more funny!!!

Did they name the Harpoon "Queequeg"? tell me they didn't.

It was probably a German made harpoon too, not Japanese or Norwegian

Just saw people in the control room make hand motions that might indicate the lander bounced and drifted around a bit. Hopefully they are just speculating till they get better data.

Harpoon did not fire. https://twitter.com/esaoperati...

Now I'm wondering if the feather unlock was part of the test? ugh

I was first thinking along the same line also but the air density at 15km is much higher than at 100km. Even so I was under the impression that the feather is deployed at a slower speed near the apex of the flight.

Automate it. Have fewer people feed bags of ice into the back side of vending machines hanging off the sides of the ice truck. You wouldn't even need much mechanical or electrical. You really only need an automated cash taker, change maker. Post the number of bags the customer wants inside the truck for someone to drop down a hopper. The number resets as bags drop down the chute until the right number is met. Next...

Unfortunately Apple knows very few actually run OS X server and Apache through it so the possible compromised systems, in their eyes, was very small. i.e. not a big deal to get this out fast. What they don't realize is that a large number of institutions actually use their server product to manage all the Macs in the institution. If the servers were compromised then all the clients would then be at risk. Think instant Mac bot net! Fortunately this is open source software and you can patch it your self but most Mac servers are run by people that don't know how to do that. Sigh...

I'm probably to simple minded but this looks like a gold opportunity for Apple to exclusively fund the "Privacy Research" and specifically note that there are no strings attached other than research on "privacy".

I will never understand the point of blocking script on the page you are visiting. Sure... block third party and tracking scripts/assets, but blocking scripts on the site is like opening Excel and expecting it to calculate cells with the formulas disabled.

Yet another /. article with links that don't actually give you any useful content. When you select the link in the text "tool to make it possible to remove the album from your iTunes library in a single step." wouldn't you expect to see an article about the tool and actually have a link to the tool? Oh no can't have that because you have to prop up what ever favorite news feed you are promoting.

What if you just charged what it cost to get the material, shipping, and such? Who cares who it belongs to as long as you are the one mining and transporting it (for an exorbitant fee...)

1, and 4 are moot when you are generating all the power you need from your own roof... Now, batteries need to catch up, but a bank of batteries in your basement can keep a house overnight if it's well insulated.
