@REO Speedwagon: If you want to suggest that the low-power mode isn't any safer, because it still can kill people, then we might as well take that argument to its logical conclusion and conclude that nuclear wepaons are no more dangerous than handguns.

@baneyu: Not all science is created equal... and not all scientific fields are either. Some academic fields are very good, and getting a journal paper past peer review is an impressive feat (and a strong, although not perfect indicator of quality). Other fields.... not so much.

Yo Ikea, I'm really happy for you, I'mma Let you finish, but EDS had one of the best cat herding videos of all time!

That's going to look pretty retarded with a pair of headphones plugged in...

I think Jesus Diaz should interview Professor Islam about this interesting work.

@ddjeffries: Then download Twonky for Android.

@A Magician Named Gob: So your point is that you've used neither, but you know that the Apple version will be better somehow. Gotcha.

@A Magician Named Gob: Windows does it through an open standard called DLNA, which Windows Phone 7 supports.... so yes. And it'll work with anything that supports DLNA (like the PS3), not just Apple products.

AirPlay is just a proprietary clone of DLNA, which is the technology which allows MythTV, XBMC, the PS3, the XBox 360, Windows Media Player, TVserity, LinuxMCE, etc... all talk to each other and work together. Except those aren't Magical(TM).

@CraigJW: Not really, no. There's no laws that grant the police special privileges in the domain of electronic warfare. It's a statement about as accurate as claiming that police cars are faster than anything available to the 'general public.'

@capitalsown: Power systems like third-rails often use the ground itself as a return path. By being in contact with the ground and the rail, you have completed the circuit. That's why third rails are mounted on ceramic insulators.

@jmurph05: Yes

@Accelerata: I don't normally like to promote comments in a post that's already so heavily black, but this (and fragMasterFlash's original comment) is so very true.

Although "quantum" implies classic non-determinism, which this exhibits, it also implies several other features (entanglement and interference). Most critically, quantum systems are complex valued and evolve unitarily.

@RenRen: A photon is neither a particle, nor a wave. It is a discrete entity, yet it also has many properties of waves. They don't have 'wave mode' and 'particle mode' toggles. A photon is a photon, a quantum mechanical entity described by a wave function. 'Wave-particle duality' is in essence a fiction helpful in…

WebOS does seem to have a very appealing user-interface, but how is it under the hood? Android, for example, isn't the prettiest, but it has a lot of very clever tech under the hood. Including the best security infrastructure of any OS I'm familiar with (not just portable OSes). Has anybody had any experience with its…

@RenRen: Amazingly enough, I actually know what I'm talking about. Photons are quantum wavefunctions with wave-like properties and particle-like properties.

@mojoman0: Wave particle duality means they have some wave-like characteristics, and some particle-like characteristics. It does not mean that photons can be waves and particles.

Human shortsightedness on a mass scale. During times of plenty, people elect governments which grant themselves largess from the public treasury. But when lean times come, they are disinclined to part with their government benefits and so necessity forces cuts to what should be gauranteed funding.

@wanderingrabbi: 10Ghz lies in the X-band. X-band is mostly reserved for radar and satellite communication.
