>> Kirk says "on screen" and video shows up on the big ol' screen. The 20th century female oceanographer or whomever she was who was on board said something like, "But that's half way around the world."

>>in the range they're useless but they're absolutely crucial in home defense. it's impossible to look through iron sights in the middle of the night.

Odds are good that if the new liquid sensor is tripped, it will display a warning icon on the display, and may be easily tested with a special dock connector gadget about the size of those bluetooth adapters, that all the apple stores will have on hand when customers bring in a unit for in-warrant swap. (so it can…

The group with the Shark could be charged with trespass. The group with the guns could be charged with one of several things, including destruction of private property. (and a further trespass to retrieve downed heli OR have to try to get it back from the land owner) Wooded areas that border with public wooded areas…

From the description of the damage, you'd think the entire filter area was packed with C4. The battery in one of those things shouldn't be able to do anywhere near that amount of damage if it blows up? Also, don't batteries more often overheat and catch fire if there's a short?

that's what I call a true hardware hacker. $7 plus five minutes of elbow grease yielding incredible results.

Under the mouse pad? I thought passwords were supposed to be kept on post-it notes on the front of the monitor?

Am I the only one that saw a LongFall Boot?

>> As a result of her discovery, Clara, and her teacher Kenneth Boehr, are both listed as co-authors

They don't care what the name is. They don't rely on "intentional" traffic. Not only will they get the initial banner impressions from all the subscribers that load the front page, but they're bound to get a few click-throughs too. Even a few days' traffic is likely to pay for their effort, even if the original…

Was anyone else wondering how close he came to clipping the tail when he let go? He could have taken that plane out of the sky.

Adjusting wagnerrp's breakdown, bullets are non-powered non-munitions with near-straight trajectory, and shells are non-powered munitions (NOT non-munitions, shells blow up) with ballistic trajectory. Non-powered non-munitions are either sabots/bullets (near-straight trajectory) or just plain "ammunition" for…

I think it's safe to assume the article quoted the read and write speeds backwards. Writing takes longer to perform on the flash cells than does reading. Any of the methods you implement to speed up writing (such as parallel operations) can be implemented the same to have the same effect on read speeds. So the only…

usb3 is probably going to be a short-lived fad, considering its slow adoption during the short window it had for exclusive high speeds, combined now with its lack of features that TB has. I'm really looking forward to a way to "dock" my laptop using a single, SMALL, RUGGED connector. Previous laptop docks have…

I'm sure Apple isn't the least bit unhappy to know that their customers are willing to camp out in subzero temps to buy their product, and that they're so fired up over it that they're willing to take out their frustrations on a squad of Chinese riot police when they can't buy your product. Any other manufacturer…

you can judge the skill of a pilot doing a crosswind landing by two factors. (1) look for a series of abrupt drops as the pilot tries to lose altitude because they came in too high (bad) and look for the ones that land sideways and only line up the plane with the runway AFTER touching down (bad). Good pilots will…

Pepsi is some pretty potent stuff. It's the world's best thing when you've got a cold and a lot of runoff from your sinuses coating your throat with phlegm, it's not instant but it DOES cut the goo nicely. I've also heard that some police departments carry a few 2L's of the stuff to wash blood off in public areas…

Surely items like this have serial numbers and those numbers are tracked. They'll follow the trail from manufacture and probably find they should be in a supply depot in New Mexico or something, they'll go there, and surprise, they're missing. And shit will hit someone's fan. Though it would be worth *bonus points*…

Last week we had an entire "Truckload of margarine bound for Target" stolen here in town. And we were talking about how surprised the thieves must have been to find what was in the truck when they got to their secret hideout or whatever and broke open the locks.
