My workplace 5 years ago had an all in one sheet fed scanner with an alphanumeric keyboard for entering email addresses. I loaded the document, entered the email address, machine scans and emails, done.
There was no difference in usability except the recipient got an electronic copy.
When it was mandatory it was a credible statistical survey that can be used to examine trends and analyze policy decisions.
Now it's the equivalent of an internet poll.
Is directing people to copyrighted material a crime?
Could I be convicted for standing on a street corner handing out maps marked with the locations of drug dealers?
Well Netburst has been pretty much replaced with Core, but the new 10-core Xeons run at 2.4GHz, so that's 24GHz of computer power on a single chip.
Decrease as a percentage of the total usage, while still increasing in absolute terms.
In other words, streaming video will outpace file sharing, which I certainly believe.
Concorde also isn't an aircraft carrier.
Just because nobody's ever collected a Pu doesn't mean they don't exist.
Maybe Sue Ellen Mischke.
In other news, people who engage in certain social behaviours are more likely to engage in other social behaviours.
Brilliant. This device you've described would completely rectify the problem!
If 2.26% of the population is licensed, and those people are randomly distributed across the US population, and you know 200 people, then the probability that you know a licensed ham is 1 - (1 - 0.0226)^200 = 99%.
When I was 5 I leaped off the couch headfirst onto a pile of cushions. Except I underestimated my strength and flew right over the cushions, headfirst into the corner of a solid oak liquor cabinet.
It hurt like crazy but you know what? Agony is inescapable in life, and you have to learn how to deal with it through experience.
Two stitches later I had learned a pretty valuable lesson.
Actually in this case I think it would be a 2.5" hard.
Clearly you still don't have replacement opinions though.
But Mars has gravity that is around a third that of Earth. That's a lot. So a sampling robot would need to land on Mars and then return fighting against the large Martian gravity well. It would probably need to carry its fuel with it which means it would need to have a lot of mass to start with and which would make a safe landing even more difficult. We'll probably have successful sample-return from Mars before a human mission their but the technical difficulty with even a sample-return mission is immense.
It's not really that much. Delta-V from the surface of Mars to Earth return trajectory is ~8km/sec, which is about double the delta-V from the lunar surface to Earth orbit. Consider the size of the Apollo lander - and that had people in it!
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
