There's no more Carl Sagan, no more Bill Nye on television, nothing except Mythbusters to inspire future generations of engineers and scientific thinkers. This has made my day, there may just be hope for the future yet.
Perhaps the young generation isn't looking to TV for inspiration?
seem like a gimmic
A government-mandated gimmic, depending on your field.
FTFY:
Ender's game = hunger games for 13 year old boys
Yes I read the book, I thought it was garbage pulp fantasy for those of limited breadth and imagination.
Limited breadth? Just how fat are we talking here?
Under normal circumstances women need less than a week.
Citation need because, frankly, this seems ridiculous to me in so many ways.
Every side has their own utopian/dystopian visions of alternative futures. Fortunately, if the history of prognostication is any indicator, they'll all be wrong. The future will prove to be something that no one expected.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pick up some Soylent Green from my local moonbase restaurant in my hovercar.
Don't forget to take your jetpack, in case your hovercar gets stuck in traffic.
Gun accidents kill hundreds of people EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.
There were fewer than 30 ingestion incidents, *EVER*, with buckyball neodymium magnets that led to their being declared a health hazard and banned.
While I know the latter aren't protected constitutionally, doesn't that still strike people as being incredibly inconsistent?
And in combat situations, fingers may get dirty, or even partially damaged or burnt. This strikes me as a REALLY bad idea. Lives will be lost to this.
No military would ever purchase this tech. The summary is full of it.
Frankly the Amazon rainforest is of much more importance to the health of our world than the company could ever be. And anyone who wants to promote that domain in the interest of protecting this world we live on has my blessing.
I'd wager that Amazon pushing less wasteful packaging has had a bigger impact on the environment than any rain forest themed website ever has.
>> To a lot of people in that 30 to 45 age bracket $1,000 isn't a whole heck of a lot to spend on a hobby.
Never been married, have you?
I'll one-up you: my wife and I have a four-month-old son. A $3 Android game feels like splurging! But articles like this remind me that the only things I've had to give up are just "stuff," and I don't miss them.
It essentially IS a $500 card, considering it comes with almost $500 worth of games.
I can't find where TFA lists the bundled games, but I imagine if I were the target market for this card, I'd already own them. And since I'm not the target market, I'll probably buy those $500 worth of games for $50 during the next Steam blowout (and then suffer through the crappy framerate).
more accurately, it checks for parameters of any ssh connection *with root privileges*. everyone see the problem there? every owner of every machine that fell to the n. korean attack richly deserved what they got. piss poor security will bite one in the ass.
People with poor security do not *deserve* an attack.
So yes, it's voluntary for the person collecting and uploading this data, just as it was a voluntary decision on Google's part. It is however not at all voluntary for the people who own the AP's whose data are being collected.
Sure, it's voluntary. Don't want people to know your MAC address/SSID for some obscure reason? There are other options: http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-R860-Cable-Router-Office/dp/B003CFATSS/
