yesterday the namibia object, today this one... lots of object falling... london bridge is ok but the freaking sky litterally is litterally falling down

It does not really make sense as an argument... you had as much friction to go buy the book as to go rent it. I am really worried that in the digital age, the first sale doctrine is being completely obliterated. Before, you bought a book, a record, anything... you could lend it, resell it, break it even copy it for your own use as you pleased... now, bit by bit (no pun intended)... you get less and less rights on the products you buy

The one who goes and checks it out, really has some balls :)

Don't Panic and always have a towel :)

Technically, even light slows down in busy places :)

Heck, have them play with venus or mars instead :)... euh, what do you mean, not that mercury? you mean nasa's mercury? no? darn, the type of cars? still no? hum, mercury, mercury, I know what it means, I swear :p... hang on, I'll get back to you :)

I can confidently say plenty of people would pay to watch that and you could get tons of funding haha.... maybe not governmental, but definitely tons of individuals would be interested :)

hopefully the us gets an incentive to fix the patent system. China is as entitled to patents as any other country... but the fact that the usa does not want to be deadlocked by china may give an incentive to fix the patent system :)

get at least a quad core... time for an upgrade haha :)

Why is this modded troll? It is actually quite insightful.

Pardon my ignorance but I regularly see articles speaking of a material that could double, triple... sometimes more collected energy potential... what does this really mean? compared to what? can these innovations be combined? what does it mean for the general public? Yes, these articles sound cool, yes we all want to be able to tap the potential of free energy... but if solar cells had improved that much, we'd all be running on free energy.

To be fair, there has been improvements... just not as much as is touted in the articles

this is a blatant abuse of the DMCA provisions to silence someone. Definitely not good if legal precedent is set where this is ok... not good for free speech, or anyone that has ideas other people do not like. I am not a lawyer but technically this could be extended to negative reviews or any content that someone thinks is troublesome... let s hope there is a real trial where they are actually get fined to discourage such behavior.

I guess viewed from that angle, it makes sense... yet, if the enemy has the capacity to intercept systematically each drone using an unpatched public vulnerability as well as have accesss to unencrypted feed (thus rendering useless the stealth, because it is possible to figure out where the drone is from the images it sends)... it becomes a serious issue. It was not just shooting it down, it is completely hijacking it. Yes, you get intelligence but it has been costly from international opinion standpoint (officially asking for it back was definitely not a good way of showing strength)... Given they will get better at it, is it really worth it? letting a stealth drone get caught is like firing a blank bullet while hiding from the enemy.... not a good idea because now they know where to look... they may not completely reverse engineer it but probably can figure out something to defeat the stealth in case of a real open conflict. but of course, this is my humble outsider perspective

Thank you for the insight

No matter how fancy the tech, how many buzzwords... if it can be fooled by inexpensive off the shelf equipment by the opponent, then not sure how useful the equipment really is

When did they upgrade from punchcards?
