I'm guessing the three years wasn't for the cheating but the money laundering and unauthorized computr access, the cheating was just a by product of those crimes.

Which means it better not fold until after DJT leaves the White House or they'll be investigated by the DOJ for losing junior's money.

Regullations are evil and the government should let the market decide; except, of course, when the regulations protect them from the market.

Both. The hundred year flood is a rare event and he hasn’t seen it. Just because it is a hundred year flood doesn’t mean it happens every hundred years.

Anyone on /. already knows Americans can't read...

People I know that have touchscreens use them for one thing - scrolling through websites. I'm sure there are other uses, but that is what I have observed with friends as well as when traveling. Small sample, for sure, but pretty much consistent across laptops and Surface devices. Frankly, what would be cool if apple could build the scroll capability off screen in the black area around the active screen.

I have used my iPad as a second screen where touch is enable, and never really found it useful as well. I suppose there are specific use cases and it will be interesting to see how well it sells. I just hope they introduce an as powerful non touch version for less cash.

Apparently they're homeless because Microsoft didn't pay out so getting out more is probably the last thing on their mind since mission accomplished - they're outside already.

I guess you didn't read very carefully. They found a marker that appears 5 years before a diagnosis and also part of the mechanism of smoking and other things causing lung cancer AND potentially how to interrupt it. That's a good bit more than simply finding a well known correlation.

Yea, although given the reactor lifespan is listed as 6+ years, I wonder how much corrosion will occur. Clearly, preventing any leakage is key to avoiding unpleasant results.

Not a bad idea, do it or all - coal, gas, solar, wind...

Yea, all it means it is producing more neutrons than is lost, so power increases as Moree fission reactions occur over time; a controlled process in nuclear reactors.

From Antares' website, this appears to be a non-refuelable low power (100KWe -1MWe for 6+ years) reactor. The fuel design is not a new concept, pebble bead reactor designs have been for a while, and China appears to be working on one as well. The fuel design does have some advantages, such as online refueling, the ability to withstand the heat generated by the fission reaction without cooling, and in some designs the ability to disperse the fuel to shutdown the reactor. One challenge for earlier designs was the use of helium as a heat transfer medium which was hard to top from leaking past pump seals, etc. This design uses sodium/N2 loops, avoiding issues with helium. From their website, it appears they do not plan to scale it for utility use but focus on markets for small portable power that are not as cost sensitive, such as portable power for military use.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
