I'm not the dickhead whisperer, figure it out. The world doesn't owe you an explanation. Bitching about google getting rich for free on open source yet you cannot? But for starters all of the apps in the appstores are part of this market.

You're just pointing out make believe negative shit to posture.

While we are speculating - I wonder if they used robust heavy duty stuff and maybe 'pressure hammering' doesn't put the valves under any more stress than they were designed to handle.

Intimidation, browbeating? I mean, if there is anything to the Milgram experiment (and I believe there is), then many people will deliver what they believe are dangerous and painful electrical stimulation to somebody so long as someone in a position of authority behaves as if it is standard procedure. If those rates are truly 99.5% in 20,000, then maybe it's just because everyone is doing a great job - or maybe jurors are vulnerable to being herded along by (certainly knowledgable and experienced counsel) some very intimidating and powerful authorities. I doubt it is simply a matter of "overcharging is extremely rare, as judged by regular Americans".

There is indeed a plethora of android devices making them difficult to compare meaningfully. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Android_devices

surely they used aalib. Which reminds me - aalib is a pretty flexible geek art tool.

What's aggravating about the summary is the comparison of 1 years budget to 7 years of budget. It is still a 3x increase in budget, from 3.3 billion to roughly 9.9 billion.

I don't really think people should support bitcoin.

Bitcoins? Supporting your local currency is probably the best option, as it pays for infrastructure and government (unless your government uses the money to oppress you, of course).

There is code that allows you to perform 32-bit emulation on an 8-bit processor, but does it really work? Now we know.

Well, why would you run 32-bit code on an 8-bit processor? Maybe so you don't have to write code on an 8-bit processor - you know those things can't add past 256.. so if you have some code and just want to use it without wrapping your head around everything that tests it's limits you can safely do this now.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm explaining this on slashdot of all the places.

I think reducing the weight is the main thing here. As an exhibit, one possibility, the new electronics will just need to project Hubble images onto windows - like you're flying around.. and play some space music. And some flashing lights, of course.

Already happened, it was called "I am Legend" (the movie). Will Smith saved us but I think the zombies got him in the end.

Wouldn't the receiver/transmitters of neutrino data with artificially generated neutrinos directed at them make neutrino interactions less rare at said locations? IOW, in nature it is rare for them to interact, but nature is out the window if we are creating artificial sources of them..

if pressure is force per unit area then it sounds like area and pressure are related - the smaller area for the same force will have higher pressure because force divided by a smaller value will continue to increase, right?

Does the study suggest that dropping out causes criminal behavior (or just increases)? Everyone in prison isn't necessarily pathologically anti social or destructive, and even teenagers mellow out eventually.
