At least you've changed your username to be more honest...
I'm not deterred by slurs. I could care less about your opinion of me. I've spanked you three in every debate that we've engaged in.
Go tell your mom(s) that the kids aren't playing fair.
Continue to make a paycheck for being a traitor. Then, go home and claim how much of a patriot you are to Amerika. People in government do it everyday. Get over yourself.
I would rather be considered paranoid than be a person that operates on blind faith. However, I very seriously doubt that I'm wrong about you.
Any sane person - even you three - can ask themselves, "When I type, do I always use the same convention for capitalization?" It's habit. For people who capitalize, the pinky fingers hit the shift keys by reflex. It would take mental effort to avoid such action which no person would ever exercise - except by intention. Even at that, it would take much effort to defeat the habit.
Like I said, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

November 28, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Robert Griffin III says he doesn't think he'll be playing in any preseason games.
The Washington Redskins quarterback also said Wednesday that he'll be limited in practice when the team opens training camp Thursday.
Griffin says he'll take part in certain drills but will sit out the 11-on-11 plays in the early days.
He was cleared by doctors a few days ago, about 6 1/2 months after he had reconstructive surgery on his right knee.
Griffin says he passed the standard Redskins conditioning test Wednesday and will wear a brace on his knee.
As far as altering his playing style, he says: "I think we can win outside the pocket. You've just to be smart about it." Griffin says maybe that means keeping him in the pocket a little bit more.

In this month's Incoming column, Lt. Gen. Harry D. Raduege Jr., USAF (Ret.) talks about how management of data is so important. He looks at it from the enterprise level, discussion trends in how organizations can streamline data management operations through consolidation of data centers. While the trend is interesting to discuss, it brings up another interesting point: Individuals are just as likely to need "data management" skills these days, what with the incredible amount of information that flows through their email in-boxes and feed readers. So, for discussion this month: How much is too much information, and how do you manage it all?
Harris Corporation has been awarded a three-year, $7.8 million contract to design, develop, test and implement a new enterprise software solution for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC).

text: Print article Send a Tip Another Filthy Filner Accuser Comes Forward by Elizabeth Sheld 2 Aug 2013 post a comment Another woman has come forward with harassment allegations against Mayor Filthy Filner. This is the ninth, but it's sort of the tenth if you count the deputy Mayor of Escondido, Olga Diaz. Emily Gilbert, who was hired to sing at a fundraiser, described her experience to Fox5 San Diego. UPDATED: Gilbert works as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. "He grabbed me a little too tight, then proceeded to slide his hand down my arm and then did a little grab on my derriere," Gilbert said. "I didn't want to make a scene there were kids around." Classy. Grab ass in front of the kids. Gilbert said the encounter "embarrassed" her. Her husband, Jason Gilbert, stated "What was I going to do, he's the mayor." "We don't want any money, but we think the mayor should make a donation to a woman's cause," Jason Gilbert said. "Actions speak louder then words. He needs to resign." Filner is supposed to begin "treatment" for his "problem" on Monday. Two recall efforts are underway to remove him from office, as he is refusing to resign. Image source: Fox5 San Diego

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 hands on: Can it help Microsoft win over tablet fans?
Summary: Surface Pro 2, with Windows 8.1, better battery life and an adjustable kickstand, is Microsoft's second swing at coming up with a tablet to unseat iOS and Android devices in the enterprise.
1 of 10Image
Microsoft has unveiled updated versions of its Surface tablet PCs, which are central to its plans to claw back some of the market share the company has lost to iOS and Android tablets in the enterprise.
The Surface Pro 2 is aimed at business users, while the Surface 2 (an update to the device previously known as the Surface RT) is aimed more at the consumer market. Both go on sale on Tuesday 22 October.
Above is the Surface Pro 2 with the clip-on 'Touch Cover' in black.

Although it was praised for its elegant design, the original Surface Pro was criticised by reviewers for its weight, disappointing battery life and lack of an adjustable kickstand. And while the design and weight of the Surface Pro 2 remains the same, Microsoft has addressed some of the other gripes in this second iteration: the tablet's kickstand (seen above just poking out on the right hand side) can now be set at two angles, for example, with the idea of making it easier to use on your lap or on a desk.
Here you can see the Windows 8.1 start menu on screen.

News Digest
calling for elections of PSC commissioners would be placed on the ballot for voter approval;
• Workforce Transition and System Reliability (A.8578) -- Standards would be set for worker training and for job transition and retention for any utilities undergoing certain types of restructuring;
• Energy 2000 (A.7941-C) -- To restructure the Power Authority of the State of New York and operate a fund to support energy efficiency and other projects; and
• Nuclear Restrictions (A.10214) -- To forbid PASNY from acquiring nuclear power facilities or related debt.
ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION PRICING. In a novel case, the FERC has allowed Commonwealth Edison Co. to implement an experimental, one-year tariff for nonfirm electric transmission service that will feature redispatch service to alleviate curtailments or interruptions -- both for nonfirm point-to-point service and for network customers using non-designated resources.
When ComEd uses its own resources to offer redispatch, it will price the service at the higher of (a) its embedded-cost transmission rate, or (b) its estimated incremental energy cost (opportunity cost), as represented by a 10-percent adder capped at 10 mills per kilowatt-hour. Thus, the case marks the first time the FERC has approved opportunity-cost transmission pricing based on estimated costs, rather than on an actual cost true-up. When redispatching neighboring systems, ComEd would receive payments for transmission only and would pass on to third parties the additional costs for generation incurred in making such arrangements.
As the FERC explained, its pro forma open-access transmission tariff, defined in Order 888, does not obligate any transmission provider to offer redispatch service or opportunity-cost pricing. Nevertheless, the commission had indicated that it would encourage pricing flexibility. It said it approved the ComEd tariff on an experimental basis because it would offer price certainty to transmission customers. Also, after-the-fact reporting of actual redispatch costs will help the commission to determine how well prices track actual costs. Docket No. ER98-2279-000, 83 FERC ¶61,145, May 13, 1998.
ELECTRONIC FILINGS. The FERC has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking asking for comments on how it should create a more efficient electronic information system to process and distribute the hundreds of filings it presently receives on a daily basis. The Commission believes that a "paperless" environment could save money. After it reviews comments, FERC will schedule a technical conference and establish working groups to study its goal of a paper-free regime. Docket No. PL98-1-000, May 13, 1998 (F.E.R.C.), 63 Fed.Reg. 27529 (May 19,1998).
QF STANDARDS. The FERC has clarified that when a qualifying cogeneration facility fails to meet the Commission's technical operating standards for certain periods, prompting a utility to suspend its power purchases from the QF facility during the period of temporary noncompliance, any contract refunds between the QF owner and the utility should be based on the utility's alternative hourly economy energy costs. Thus, for any hour in which the QF was available but not dispatched, the utility must compensate the QF owner for value provided, if the cost of the QF energy would have cheaper than alternative economy energy. The QF would repay the utility if economy energy was cheaper.

Lifelong United fan Andy reflects on a remarkable comeback against Maradona and co…
As a South Stand season-ticket holder for over 30 years, there have been so many moments I could pick out, but I always vividly remember the European Cup Winners' Cup second leg against Barcelona in March 1984.
With Maradona in the Barcelona side and the fact that we were 2-0 down from the first leg, no-one gave us much chance, but there's nothing like being written off to bring out a United fan's defiance.
The atmosphere was electric - we all turned up determined to turn OT into a cauldron of noise. I doubt many of us though, myself included, really believed we could pull it off.
There had been some speculation about Bryan Robson moving abroad, but we were desperate for him to stay and he showed us just why he was so important by putting us ahead in the first half. For the first time, we started to believe we could turn the tie round and when he made it two in the second half we went absolutely wild.
You could feel the momentum building in the stands and it was flowing out onto the pitch. When Frank Stapleton made it 3-2 to United on aggregate I thought the roof was going to come off. As the time ticked away the whole ground was filled with ear-piecing whistles, begging the referee to blow for full-time. When he did we all poured onto the pitch and carried Robbo off the field – it was then I just knew he'd stay.
Outside afterwards I was elated but also exhausted; everyone was dancing around and hugging total strangers. It was a night that just sums up what being a United fan is all about.

"Hey Jeff,
Just wanted to say thanks for a great job. We were in the big rain storm in Chesapeake City last night and got about two drops of water through the enclosure. It was the first time we've been on board during a big storm. Even in low light or no light visibility, it's like the material wasn't even there. Thanks Again. Dan, Intrepid"
The 4U2SEA™ Enclosure's Fraternity of canvas Craftsmen / Fabricators / Innovators worked together with some of the finest Acrylic, clear PVC vinyl, coated fabric, acrylic fabric, PVC extrusion, thread, zipper and other material manufactures in order to create a viable catalyst for the "next generation" enclosure (from the inventor of EZ2CY®)! The Fraternity, possessing an unprecedented combination of respect for tradition and an out-of-the-box approach toward innovation, reviewed every aspect of current boat enclosures, scrutinized all available materials and took the initiative of commissioning new materials in order to create superior enclosures destined to be the next milestone for the canvas industry. Increased area of vision, cleaner look for borders and stronger materials have all been addressed. Additionally, as a result of a more efficient system, Members of 4U2SEA's™ Fraternity are able to offer enclosures that are easier on the pocket for boaters to acquire. What's more, Fraternity Members are located in even the smallest niches of the marine market to better serve boaters. Boaters that know of an exceptional fabricator may have him or her apply to join the 4U2SEA™ Fraternity (Qualifications and restrictions do apply!) to become part of the future as well. Listen to what people are saying in quotes and videos!
Your Assurance!
The Enclosure Fraternity is here to put your mind at ease. Every Member of the Fraternity is committed to making your enclosure extraordinary. In addition, this means that wherever your vessel may travel a Fraternity member will be able to take care of your needs. You should also know that the vast amount of collective talent making up the Fraternity includes a Team Captain with some serious history (see History) and that working with a Captain that already charted so much previously un-charted water is a real asset. His willingness and enthusiasm to work in a team effort to chart even further has been of immense value, as is having an open mind able to recognize contributions the aggregate Fraternity can make. The cumulative effort is evident in the new products developed. What's more, the effort never stops and the boating public is the true beneficiary.

Paul Ryan Never Asked for Stimulus Cash, Besides the 5 Times He Did
Something tells me Paul Ryan is going to fit in perfectly with the Romney campaign. Take this timeline. Two years ago, Ryan was asked if he accepted stimulus money for his district…
"I'm not one [of those] people who votes for something then writes to the government to ask them to send us money. I did not request any stimulus money," the congressman answered.
And repeated the talking point two days ago…
"I never asked for stimulus," Mitt Romney's new running mate said. "I don't recall…so I really can't comment on it. I opposed the stimulus because it doesn't work, it didn't work."
But yesterday, after being shown a series of letters he wrote to the Obama administration…
"After having these letters called to my attention I checked into them, and they were treated as constituent service requests in the same way matters involving Social Security or Veterans Affairs are handled," Ryan said in a statement. "This is why I didn't recall the letters earlier. But they should have been handled differently, and I take responsibility for that."
There's nothing wrong with taking part in a program you opposed. Plenty of Democrats have helped constituents enroll in Medicare Part D after voting against the provision. The problem comes in lying about it afterwards. Perhaps that's where the "bold and risky" vision of Ryan comes in.
With that in mind, he does say he would have handled the situation differently. Like Romney, Ryan's most important decisions are handled retroactively.

20 Tricks to Speed Up Your Metabolism
Whether you're trying to shed some lbs or just stay fit, these tricks to increase your metabolism from nutritionist and author of Bread is the Devil Heather Bauer, RD,CDN, will help you reach the finish line even faster.
By Heather Bauer, RD,CDN
Increase Weight-Bearing Exercises
One pound of muscle burns 35 to 50 calories, while one pound of fat burns a measly 5 to 10 calories. Building more muscle can increase your bodys basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 40%. There's no need to hit the weights hard, either, simply using light weights at high repetition has been proven to tone muscle and burn fat.

The physical footprint of UMass Boston is growing and the university is expanding its off-campus programs as well. One example is the UMass Boston's China Program Center (CPC), which was awarded two federal grants in 2012 from the Department of Education to run two Fulbright Hays Group Project Abroad Programs.
The CPC's Advanced Chinese Language Immersion Program received a $1 million grant, funding the program for 4 years. The Program sends 16 students each year to live, work and be educated in China for 8 months. So far, 32 students have gone. The program is open to college students and recently graduated professionals from all over the metro area.
Because of space limitations in the University's Wheatley the CPC's administrative offices were moved to a nearby Columbia Point office complex at 150 Mt. Vernon Street. The space — in what was once the Bayside Conference Center— also houses UMass's English as a Second Language Program.
The CPC is a college of study operating out of the College Advancing and Behavioral Studies (CAPS). Classes are typically offered online or at off-campus locations.
"Because of the growth of the CPC through the grants and the enlargement of the Confucius Institute we were working with seven people crammed into and office space designed for three," said Renee Covalucci, Associate Director of the CPC. "The move [into the Bayside facility] has been a good thing we are helping this place flourish and grow. The more of the its facilities we can make use of the better."
The overarching goal of the program is to shrink the cultural divide between the two nations and to increase the number of Mandarin-speaking Americans, according to Kaitlyn Lee, program coordinator for the CPC's Fulbright Hayes sponsored programs. "Because the Chinese economy is growing it is becoming more and more important for the two nations to understand each others cultures more so as to be able to do business with each other. We want to prepare the future talents of America to be able to work well with Chinese," said Lee.
Lee, who was born in China, understands first hand how easily the Chinese and American cultures clash and lead to misunderstanding each other.
"I just want our students to understand better the situations that cause misunderstanding and be aware of it and also try to see what would be the best way to work around these potential trouble areas" Lee said.
While in China the students take courses in Mandarin and culture studies at Shen She Norma University. They live with a host family and celebrate Chinese New Year with them as a means of gaining an understanding of daily life in China. They also travel, and act as American cultural ambassadors.
Teamed with a Chinese student each of the Americans must prepare a presentation on an American cultural phenomenon and present it to a Chinese high school class. The students also work in an internship during the final weeks of their stay.
The CPC sponsors immersion trips for teachers as well as students through the Chinese Language and Cultural Enrichment program which is also funded through a Fulbright grant.
"We select 15 teachers of Mandarin [and] take them to China for six weeks to learn about Chinese culture," explained Dr. Wanli Hu, Director of the CPC. "When they come back they complete what we call a curriculum project which they will present at the New England Chinese Teacher Network Conference. In this way their study in China will influence many other teachers, and being better teachers will educate their students more effectively."
"There are currently 800 Boston area teachers in the New England Chinese Teacher Network and they look mostly to the CPC as a center for additional training and job placement," said Covalucci.
The CPC was formed because of Dr. Hu's ability to attract federal funding for the educational programs he designed and managed. The university funds the college itself but the programs they offer operate on federal funds. The Start Talk Grant Dr. Hu received in 2008 was the catalyst for the formation of the college.
"Before 2006 Mandarin was not being taught on a large scale in America," Dr. Hu said. "In 2006 President Bush signed the National Security Language Initiative, into law. Mandarin was one of the languages singled out in the initiative as being a priority for national security and so a lot of funding was allocated on the national level toward supporting Chinese language education programs."
The CPC Start Talk funded language program teaches kids from the Boston Area in grades k-12 familiarizing them with Chinese language and culture.
Recently the CPC has begun to design self-sufficient programs rather than programs designed around attaching a particular grant. Last year the Chinese government paid to send several provincial level officials, like police commissioners, to the United States to learn about the American justice system.
Kaitlyn Lee oversaw the program.
"It brings in money but it exposes the Chinese officials to the western form of government," said Lee. "They (the Chinese officials) see how judges are separate from the government in that they have the power to decided a case without any outside influences other than the law. The idea that judges have that kind of independence from political ties is kind of an eye opener."

The MacArthur Boys Basketball team upped its winning streak to four games and moved within a game of clinching its first playoff berth in three years with victories against East Meadow and Hicksville.
The Generals (8-4, 6-1 league) beat East Meadow, 48-39, on Tuesday, Jan. 18 behind 15 points from junior forward Kevin Roach and 11 points from junior guard William Cheshire.
MacArthur then improved its record to 5-0 at home and swept the season series from Hicksville with a 50-44 win against the Comets. Senior guard Kevin Monahan had 26 points in that victory; narrowly shy of matching the career-high 28 points he scored against Mepham as a sophomore.
MacArthur, which has five regular-season games remaining, can clinch a playoff berth with a victory at Plainview JFK on Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m. A win in that game also would set up a rematch with unbeaten Baldwin with a share of first place at stake on Friday, Feb. 4 at 6:15 p.m. at MacArthur.
Baldwin handed MacArthur its lone conference loss, 76-54, on Friday, Jan. 7 and has won its league games by an average of 31 points.

Feds crack down harder on 'lasing'. Yep, aircraft laser zapping... Really
"Also be aware that you would have to be in front of the plane and on the flight path to actually get it to shine into the pilot's eyes. From below and/or to the side, the best you would get was to illuminate the roof of the pilots cabin, and from behind you could not shine it in the cabin at all."
Yes, the light does have to get to the cabin for it to be an issue, true. But particularly in small planes, the windows are a type of plexiglass which have a tendency to distort the view, particularly from collimated (or nearly-collimated) light (picture how looking top-down through water has a tendency to distort things). Simply having part of the light hit the window will have both a scattering and bending effect on the light, so you would only need to get "close enough" for the light to affect the pilot's night vision. This is exactly what happened to me.
Let's also get one thing straight, that when these incidents happen, it's clearly a deliberate act. I slightly deviated my flight path to try and locate the source on the ground (didn't have time to circle the area), and I could clearly see the shaft of light coming from the ground specifically searching the sky to illuminate my plane. The aiming motions of the light were not random. Any deliberate action to impair the capabilities of a pilot deserves criminal punishment. Sure, 14 years for *only* shining a laser at a plane is a bit excessive (unless it actually caused a crash or caused multiple injuries), but from someone with a history of not following the law, it sounds appropriate.
This is no joke
Having personally been flying a plane and being hit with a laser strike, I can vouch that this is no joke, and people rightfully should be jailed for doing so. Remember, it's not just commercial jets, but ALL planes in the sky. Helicopters, small jets, large jets, small piston engines, etc. The small planes are also typically flying lower, so the apparent brightness of the laser will be greater than a plane flying at a higher altitude.
In my particular case, I was flying back home at night, about 30 miles out from the airport. I was fairly low (about 3000 feet, if I recall), but precisely where air traffic control wanted me. Being night and at the end of a two hour flight, I had the interior lights dimmed very low since my eyes were well adjusted to the low light conditions, and keeping them low ensures I can see other air traffic at night. I noticed a flash out of the corner of my eye, which drew my attention toward it. I assumed it was another aircraft's night lighting, so I was looking around to locate the light. It was during this point that I saw another bright green light which appeared to be coming from below me, and when I turned my gaze toward it, the light became quite a bit brighter. I then realized it was someone on the ground shining a laser at my plane. Fortunately, I was able to shift my gaze away from the third lasing of my plane before it could degrade my night vision much more. If I hadn't realized what it was in time to shift my gaze away, it easily could have dramatically reduced my night vision. It can take up to 30 minutes from the time the eye encounters a bright light to gain back the full night vision acuity, and in a plane traveling 2 miles a minute or more, that's a lot of ground to cover with degraded night vision.
Feds arrest rogue trucker after GPS jamming borks New Jersey airport test
Re: Stupid Airport
"Now all the bad guys know that if the mess with GPS at this airport they could make one plane crash into another. After all aren't pilots just glorified taxi drivers and isn't the GPS always correct?"
I can only assume you're being facetious here...
"I've worked at other airports where this is used but they know that using GPS is a stopgap solution and should not be the system of last resort. We were also forbidden to tell anyone if airport XXX used it and airport YYY didn't. It would have been considered a major security breach."
But I have no idea what is being referred to here. It doesn't do the pilots much good if they don't know what instrument approach procedures are available at a given airport. GPS isn't a "stopgap solution" but rather it's becoming "the solution" for IFR navigation (at least for the U.S.). Of course, it doesn't help that LORAN was shut down, and the existing ground-based radio navigation aids are in the process of being decommissioned without a backup system to GPS (INS doesn't count, since you can't use it for precision approaches and it needs to be regularly realigned due to position drift).
Stray SMS leads to aborted landing
1) At altitude, modern phones connect to every antenna in range, overloading the system - no, not really. At least, not in my experience. Any time I'm move than 3000' above ground level in a plane, my cell phone shows NO signal, not full-strength signal (at least, that's with my GSM phone - I've heard CDMA phones may be different).
2) Go-arounds are uncommon and unsettling for passengers - Uncommon, but certainly not unheard of or an unusual event. And except on a clear day where passengers can see outside and see the ground, without visual reference I challenge anyone to tell if they are climbing or descending and getting it correct. For all the passengers know, they've just got a bit of turbulence or are turning. The part that unsettles passengers is probably more due to windy conditions/bad weather, than the go-around itself.
3) Ahh, cell phone interference. In my own experience, I've had circumstantial evidence that cell phones MIGHT cause interference with certain avionics/navigation systems. However, that's only when the phone is emitting any radio emissions. If the phone is in airplane mode, it's like any other passive electronic device and can't do any harm. The "turn it off-off" is most likely just a fail-safe way of the flight attendants ensuring people put their phones into a non-emitting mode rather than having to explain how to disable the radio features of every possible device.
Also, they had to go around because the captain received an SMS? There has to be more to it than just that, as I find it hard to believe they could hear the ringtone over the ambient noise in the cockpit.
iPhone 5 gets a 5in screen
Re: i really hope not
"downvoted" because you manage to say 3.5" is just right, while at the same time saying how people adapt to larger sizes without too much trouble ("the first iPhone looked huge at the time").
The nice thing about the Android (and possibly some of the newer WinMo) phones is choice. If you want a phone-tablet, you can get one. If you prefer a more reasonably-sized phone, you can get that too. No need to be forced into one form-factor because it is decreed to be so.
Nanocapacitor slab to boost car batteries
Re: Stop-Start
I know there is at least some leeway in how long the fuel mist will linger. After all, that's how most piston aircraft engines work: you prime the engine by manually injecting fuel into the cylinders, and then crank the starter. But if you wait too long after priming, it's just raw fuel sitting there no longer vaporized, and it's vaporized fuel that burns, not liquid fuel.
Re: Stop-Start
In short, yes, the fuel vapour essentially condenses after a certain amount of time. We take it for granted because they've been around for so long--and particularly with modern ones, work so reliably--but an internal combustion engine relies on some pretty tight timing for the whole thing to work.
"Flame" because, well, that's what's going on inside the engine (not "explosion" - that's bad).
LightSquared scrabbles to save itself after FCC stops LTE plan
Re: Re: Re: LightSquared has been given a raw deal
1) The US already has GPS-based VNAV approaches that go as low as 200-feet AGL decision heights (the same as basic ILS). It's called WAAS, and doesn't use any ground-based transmitters (there are ground-based stations that relay correction data up to the WAAS geo-sync satellites, though).
2) RNAV is short for "area navigation" and a generic term. I think you mean LNAV (lateral navigation).
3) I'm not disputing your claim, but I'm curious what research you're specifically referring to. I'm sure multiple studies/research efforts have been done on this topic.
Re: LightSquared has been given a raw deal
Even so, LightSquared knew they were exploiting a loop-hole in the rules. If it never crossed their minds that technical and political issues could come up rendering their plan a failure, then they deserve to be out of all the cash they spent. They bet big and the house won, and they only have themselves to blame.
Apple tells authors: All your
books iBook files are belong to us
Except if Apple refuses to sell it, that renders the .ibook format of the work pretty useless and you might as well delete it. So there's then no reason you couldn't export it as a .pdf format and sell it (or give away for free) elsewhere.
Comparison to Photoshop, et al
"Internet commenters have compared it to Adobe demanding a 30 per cent cut of any graphics or artwork made using Photoshop, or Microsoft getting a kickback every time you use Word or Powerpoint in a commercial situation. "
Um, no, that's a poor comparison because Adobe and Microsoft don't ALSO provide a distribution means for the resulting output like Apple does. There's a license agreement on how to use iBooks, except it also has a clause saying if you distribute a .ibooks file FOR PAY, THEN you can only distribute it through the iTunes store. BUT, if you distribute a .ibooks file FREELY, OR distribute a .pdf version (for free or for pay), you can distribute it as you wish.
I dislike Apple's practices as much as the next, but I see nothing inherently wrong with this particular EULA. You want to use a FREE content creation package by Apple, for creating an *Apple-proprietary* output file, useable ONLY on an Apple device, then you play by their rules, and for once they actually seem like fair rules.
Second 'Blue Marble' NASA sat pic apes Apollo 17's stunner
Good idea, except...
How exactly would we strap on boosters to Hubble, now that the US doesn't have any manned space vehicle? As far as I'm aware, the Shuttle would be the only space vehicle capable of getting humans to Hubble to strap on any boosters (pretending for a moment that such a mission would even be technically possible).
Brilliant idea, retiring the Shuttle before a new space vehicle is available...or even in the process of being built.

NASA shuts off Voyager 1's central heating
By "conserve power", they mean turning off stuff that serves little-to-no useful purpose, so that the little remaining power will go to systems of more use.
" Why take on that expense for the benefit of the future generations, when in probably a hundred or so years time that journey time could be cut by a half. "
In fact, there was a Twilight Zone episode about that very concept. A rather interesting mind experiment.
A preview of SOPA: Web shut down before my eyes
Did you bother to read their protest?
Clearly not, as they explicitly mention that their goal isn't to entirely block the English wikipedia content. They *purposely* did it with a cheesy script for the very purpose of allowing people to still access the content if they really need too, and they only wanted to raise awareness of SOPA and PIPA.
While on the subject, many people are completely misunderstanding SOPA and PIPA. Yes, the way they are currently written is highly dangerous for freedom of speech/etc. However, a lot of this is also speculation about how they *could possibly* be applied. From some of the reports about them, you would think these laws specifically grant some of the nasties people are talking about, which isn't true. I am against these two bills, but I did do some of my own research instead of just blindly following what others say. But, don't take my word for this, go read the bills yourself.
Hubble shows images from record-breaking 13.1 billion light-years
Just imagine if...
...we didn't have the Space Shuttle after the initial deployment of the HST. The Space Shuttle was the only space vehicle available that could perform the repairs, servicing, and upgrades to the HST, and now we have no such vehicle available to us. If not for the Shuttle, HST would have been put into an orbit to have the same fate as Phobos-Grunt. I can't imagine how the world would be without the amazing discoveries and pictures Hubble has captured.
Decommissioning of the Space Shuttle before its time: That's one small step toward budget reduction, one giant leap BACKWARDS for mankind.
Microsoft revives flight sim by giving it away free
X-Plane? meh
I've had MS Flight Sim since version 3.0, up to and including FSX. While X-Plane's flight model may be technically superior to FSX's on paper, I find it just doesn't hold up in reality.
Both flight models have their advantages and disadvantages, and it takes a competent designer to take full advantage of the sim. The default aircraft in both sims are quite poor at replicating their respective full flight envelopes, and you really need to go to third-party add-ons for more-realistic simulation. And the advantage MS Flight Sim has over X-Plane is that there are far more high-quality add-ons.
Iran spy drone GPS hijack boasts: Rubbish, say experts
Title not required
The GPS receiver needs to have some idea of (a) which satellites it is receiving timing information from, and (b) where those satellites actually are in the sky, so it knows how to triangulate its position. I would think that is why multiple antennas are required, to one for each of the GPS satellites that are being faked.
Also, I would find it hard to believe that a SPY drone wouldn't be designed in such a way to be able to continue being useful even in the event of a localized disruption of GPS. If I were designing such a drone, I would certainly take into account that just maybe the people I'm spying on might not be too keen on the idea and want to try and disrupt my spying in some way.
New account of Flight 447 disaster published
Actually, there are three modes: "normal", "alternate", and "direct". I forget the specifics of how the displays work, but there is an indication when the aircraft is no longer is "normal law", which yes, does prevent the pilots from exceeding the normal flight envelope. Alternate and direct law provide increasingly less envelope protection, with "direct" providing nearly zero protection.
The averaging of the two controls is dumb, though. Pilot A: Left! Pilot B: No, right! Computer: Ok, straight!

Survey: Most TV viewers surf while they watch
Yeah, so?
Most of the time when I'm watching my "second screen" and only occasionally watching what's on TV, it's because I really just want to sit on my couch to browse the web, instead of sitting in my chair and feeling like I'm back at the office. It just seems wrong to be sitting on the couch in front of the TV without it actually being on (not that I haven't done that either).
When I am actually watching TV, the laptop only comes out during the adverts.
Netflix: How to completely screw up
The problem...
...isn't JUST that they raised the price on 1 DVD+streaming by 60%, but that they are now completely separate subscriptions in every possible way. I had the DVD+streaming, but $15/mo for 1 DVD-at-a-time and occasional streaming viewing was way overpriced, especially since the streaming selection was poor, and is even worse now. So I went to 2-DVD for a slight price increase and dropped the streaming. But the worst part is, even if I kept my old plan with the price increase, I couldn't even search the two at the same time. I'd have to go to two SEPARATE websites to search two SEPARATE catalogs. Haven't two SEPARATE bills also means more work for me. Sure, these are major things, but when you compare to the fact that I was getting the same thing previously, in a much more convenient setup, it doesn't exactly leave me with a good taste in my mouth.
So, good going Netflix. I like how I woke up Monday morning thinking I just changed to a different Netflix plan, but in reality ended up canceling my Netflix subscription and starting a new "Qwikster" subscription. I'll just wait and see who buys Qwikster, since it's obvious that's what's going to happen...
NASA: Beam me up some power, Scotty
Lightning (or arcing in general) is a form of power transmission through the air, and it sort of makes a lot of noise. If this is to be used to beam power to/from earth, wouldn't that massive amounts of energy required mean lots of thunder-like noise? Of course, it makes much more sense if the energy transfer is limited to use only in space.
NASA unveils its chosen Shuttle successor
"Drink", because that's too true, and I'll need several...
1) One reason NASA isn't just pulling out dusty blueprints for the Saturn V rocket stack is that they simply don't have them. In their infinite wisdom, they trashed the blueprints and all the people who worked on it are gone.
2) NASA is getting tossed the same games they have since after the first moon landing. Congress can't make up their mind what they want to do with NASA, and keep them guessing with their on-again, off-again funding.
3) Even the plans NASA came up with to get to the moon wasn't an ideal solution (single launch stack and lunar orbit rendezvous), but it was the only one they had at the time where they could have some certainty of it working within the time-frame they had, before funding got cut. Even during those days, NASA was always at risk of getting their funding cut. Really, it's amazing they're able to accomplish *anything* with the disrespect Congress gives them.
Here we go again...
Congress just barely funds NASA to give their corporate friends some money, but then they don't want to fund NASA enough to actually be useful. I wish these clowns would just make up their mind what they want to do. I do believe the future of space travel lies with private industry, but having a mix of commercial and private is not making the most use of us tax payer's dollars. Just another example of the flawed reasoning behind the "trickle down" theory of economics that they subscribe to.
Anyone else see a parallel with the US space program and the music industry?
LightSquared offers low-power olive branch to GPS
Like starting with LightSquared following the existing "standards" to use the spectrum they bought for satellite-based communications?
I mean the airplanes using GPS as a /replacement/ for ILS/VOR. Besides that, recent reports from testing LightSquared did elsewhere found that interference was generated several MILES from the base station. Even 35,000 feet is only 6 miles.
"For precision applications, which today use the LightSquared (satellite) signal to augment GPS where high accuracy is needed within the USA (such as guiding tractors and such),"
Forget the tractors, how about also lumping in commercial aircraft guidance in there? LightSquared interfering with GPS navigation isn't going to work very well with the proposed "NextGen" air traffic control system relying almost exclusively on satellite navigation. What's more important, people getting their 4G data connections, or aircraft NOT crashing?

Patent wars: Apple attacks Samsung in Japan
What has Google done to innovate Android? You mean other than adding support for more hardware (gps, cameras, motion sensors, magnetometers, etc), application and memory management tools ("running services", "battery use", etc), and access to a PHYSICAL keyboard (if the phone manufacturer so chooses)? Oh, how about proper multi-tasking, which Android had before iOS.
Just because you may prefer an iPhone, doesn't mean everything else is simply a copy of an iPhone. It's GOOD for both sides that there is choice (as much as Apple may hate having competitors).
Sprint joins US feds in anti-AT&T lawsuit
Except do you really think all (or even most) of the T-mo customers will jump over to Sprint? No, AT & "that's no moon" T will eat up most of the T-mo customers, because most consumers are lazy. And I suspect that many of the T-mo customers that do jump, will go to Verizon rather than Sprint. Sure, there will be some that do go to Sprint, but overall it will mean less potential customers for Sprint, while at&t is guaranteed to get a lot more customers.
Sid Meier's Civilization
Why are so many people ragging on Civ5? Yes, it does change a lot of the rules, but that really just means you can't use the same strategies you used in Civ4 and below, which is partly the point of the redesign of the rules. Civ4 was really just Civ3 with newer graphics and a few added rules on top, but you could still pretty much use the same strategy. I find Civ5 forces the player to consider other options than just going for straight military dominance.
Outbound space probe looks back at tiny Earth and Moon
re: why solar?
It could also be that all the "OMG NUKES! IT MIGHT CRASH ON TAKEOFF AND SPREAD RADIATION EVERYWHERE!!!!11" people caused NASA to think it'd just be easier to go solar and not deal with the protesters. I imagine it's also cheaper than having to build a small nuclear reactor and fuel it.
Dish eyes 4G LTE wireless network
The FCC really should recant their authorization of the frequencies to LightSquared for use as ground-based communications. The whole idea was flawed from the start, and if they grant authorization to Dish Network as well, I fear a flood of operators will start doing the same. Which wouldn't be such a problem if the uses of satellite frequencies was so much different than terrestrial communications. There's no way around the fact that satellites are FAR away from the ground (regardless of orbital altitude), and light-of-sight means terrestrial towers tend to be much closer. (Ignoring forms of long-distance ground-based communications not restricted to LOS, but subject to atmospheric disturbances)

iPhone users richer, brainier, more tasteful than Android-ers
I had thought of this, and since the iFone 4 (sic) has a front-facing camera, it wouldn't be difficult to write an app that takes the input and reverses it properly to display on the screen like a mirror would.
Maybe because the consumer has a huge number of choices when it comes to Android phone design, cost, and mobile carrier? That's like saying buying a Ford means you're following the crowd. Never mind that you may have bought an FR500 that is produced in small non-crowd-sized numbers, while someone else may have a base-model Focus... But yeah, other than the huge differences in models, you could call that "following the crowd"...
What crowd?
That sounds like "competition" to me...
Injunction suspended: EU can buy Galaxy Tabs again
How about...
...patent laws that actually make sense, and not just based on something "looking like" something else. Last I checked, nearly all computer keyboards look similar, yet no one there is going around waving patent infringement lawsuits on everyone else.
If Apple is so concerned that people will snatch up the Tab 10.1 because it LOOKS like an iPad (I'm assuming the prices are rather similar), where they might otherwise have gotten an iPad, maybe they should look at figuring out what people find more appealing about their competition, than trying to stop there from BEING any competition.
LightSquared blasts GPS naysayers in FCC letter
This is a title
That's...not how GPS works. In basic terms, the satellite sends out a timing signal, and the ground receiver analyzes the signal to determine how long the signal took to reach it, and uses triangulation from other GPS satellites to determine a 2- or 3-dimensional location. Of course, this process fails to work when the receiver assumes the satellite is in space, but is actually a ground base station somewhere significantly closer. This is an over-simplification, but you can see how it's not just a matter of a "firmware patch" to fix.
There are some ground-assisted differential GPS systems out there, but that requires specialized equipment and a very precise geographical position reading of the base station(s). The other type of assisted GPS system out there--WAAS--uses additional geostationary satellites that broadcast a correction signal to WAAS-capable receivers (correcting for atmospheric effects, among other things). But even that uses ground stations with very precisely-known locations to pick up the GPS signals, in order to calculate the local correction factor. Such precise geographical measurements don't come cheap.
As for cell-phone assisted geolocation, have you ever noticed how imprecise it is?
I don't know the extend of the interference LightSquared presents to GPS, but if it affects aviation GPS units, those cost several thousand dollars, with some units costing more than many new cars. So yeah, I think some people would be pretty annoyed at having to replace THOSE.
If the GPSes involved just included car satnav units, that'd be one thing. But what if the GPSes involved also include aviation units? Now it's not just a car taking a wrong turn, but an aircraft flying who-knows-how-far off course. Sure, there are other means of navigation available to planes, but those means are basically in the process of being decommissioned in favor of a purely satnav-based system. Oops. It'd also be nice to know how exactly LightSquared determined what GPS units are in that 200,000 bunch.
"Eat this", because that's what we could have if LightSquared's 4G network is really as detrimental to GPS as it sounds.

Google waggles free* Android phones at Americans
Free? Why, yes, yes it is.
What, you expected a free mobile phone AND free mobile contract? Just what fantasy world were you living in: of course the mobile contract will be anything but free. The PHONE is free, and you get to PICK your mobile contract from THREE different providers (in the US), so I don't see what all the monetary complaining is about. Unless you just wanted to get the phone and not actually use it as a, erm, phone... Now, if you wanted to argue about selling your soul to Google, then we'd have a valid argument.
Obama drops Twitter bombs on debt-ceiling foes
What title?
Who says that everyone responding here is British? Besides, when you're in the forest you sometimes can't see it for what it is, and having an outside opinion is helpful.
And yes, the average IQ of the average American is astonishingly low, and seems to be getting lower too (teaching "Intelligent Design" because evolution is "just a theory", "trickle-down economics", etc). Unfortunately, not enough of the sane people contact their representatives, and the news media spews their completely-biased opinions as fact, and the sheeple who don't know enough take it as fact.
The tea-party backed republicans are going to be the death of this nation if it keeps up. The rest of the republicans don't seem to know which way to go, and their "no compromise" stance is the total opposite of what this nation was founded on. But the democrats don't get away for free either with many of their Big Spending plans (though at least they've been willing to compromise).

ContactsIn Tunis
Donia Jemail, Anwar firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com Washington
Dina email@example.com, July 8, 2009 - H.E. Habib Mansour, Ambassador of Tunisia, on behalf of the borrowers as well as of the Republic of Tunisia as guarantor, and Ms Shamshad Akhtar, Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa Region of the World Bank, signed a 55 million US Dollars Energy Efficiency Project for Tunisia, to be implemented over a 4 year period.
The objective of the Energy Efficiency Project is to scale up industrial energy efficiency and cogeneration investments, and thereby contribute to the government's new four-year energy conservation program.
The project is a line of credit to Financial Intermediaries (FI) to finance industrial energy efficiency and cogeneration projects. The IBRD loans are lent, with a guarantee from the Republic of Tunisia, to three commercial banks, which will on-lend, following their lending policies and procedures, to companies for eligible subprojects. The Tunisian commercial banks are responsible for loan repayment and assume all financial risk. The loans are to Amen Bank (AB) in the amount of Euro 23.1 million (US$ 30 million equivalent), Banque de l'Habitat (BH) in the amount of Euro 15.4 million (US$ 20 million equivalent) and Banque pour le Financement des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (BFPME) in the amount of Euro 3.9 million (US$ 5 million equivalent).
The project concept was designed to provide an integrated technical and financial analysis of end-use projects to be financed by Financial Intermediaries (FIs). To avoid lengthy and cumbersome application processes for projects that commercial banks will not be interested in financing, the National Agency for Energy Control (ANME) will work closely with FIs to prescreen projects for financing. This set-up will also allow the integration of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (FNME) subsidies and other grants and loans from different sources in the financing plan of each project.
The project supports the Tunisian policy in the area of energy efficiency and renewable energy and will increase the competitiveness of the Tunisian economy, reduce its vulnerability to world energy market shocks and reduce the budgetary burden of energy subsidies - objectives which are even more critical at a time of financial and economic crisis. By seeking a reduction of the energy intensity of the Tunisian economy, it also contributes to its transition to a low carbon path. This new project is therefore expected to be a major component of the new World Bank/Tunisia Country Partnership Strategy currently under preparation, which has as one of its main pillars "climate change policy".
Ms. Akhtar highlighted how the signing of this loan showed the close collaboration between the World Bank and Tunisia across the board. She acknowledged that Tunisia had always been a pioneer among developing countries in terms of energy efficiency policy and had developed strong institutions for implementing its policy, which made the country better prepared for managing the effects of the financial and economic crisis. On behalf of the Government HE Habib Mansour expressed appreciation for the close relationship with the Bank and noted the Government's many efforts to make energy efficiency a top priority at all times to address the key development challenges of Tunisia.

still ongoing bug.
I believe if we could create/change our skype name trough the web browser. this could be solved.
this way your login would be zeze123 and not facebook:zeze.123 and you would not have the need to merge another email account.
Skype could just add, during the subscription with facebook process, the creation of a skype name.
It's a sugestion.... customers would appriciate it.

This really ticks me off. I need to use Skype - with my Skype number that I pay for - on iOS in order to stay in touch with my company's clients.
It's not possible to sign in with Facebook on the phone/iPad like I do on the computers. I have tried to follow advice in this thread and merge a Microsoft account with my existing Skype profile, but that doesn't work either, because that ALSO requires signing in with a Skype name. There's no "Sign in with Facebook" button, and it doesn't allow using the facebook: username.
Come on Skype, there has to be a simple solution to this that doesn't take years to implement. It can't be THAT hard!

Why? Is there a reason not to allow long-time Skype users to run the app?
If I had known this a couple of years ago I would never have merged my Skype account with my Facebook account, but now it's too late. A lot of people use my current Skype name and number to reach me. If I create a new account to use for mobile they still won't get hold of me when I'm out and about.
I've been waiting for a solution to this for years. Not kidding; years.
If you can't fix it, find a way to work around it. There has to be a way to satisfy this demand from your users.

This is ridiculous. After the launching of ur fancy update on ios, there's still no way to log in from a fb account. I've much balance on my fb account and I just can't use it at all from my phone, nor get my credit return. This is HUGE INCONVENIENCE!!! And all i can do is have two accounts and ask my friends to add me from two accounts and msg me via both accounts. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS!!!! FIX IT PLEASE!!!!
03-07-2014 17:48 - edited 03-07-2014 17:51
I have to disagree and I refuse to create 2 accounts. Thats complete and utter BS. I have Tons of contacts on my facebook but have to create 2 accounts because the skype developers are too lazy to put the most basic form of authenication on their application. But You know Microsoft owns skype, hints why this "Free" service is acting so **bleep** all the sudden. What there needs to be is another solution. A competitor with the same protocol. Its rediculous they keep coming out with all these meaningless updates and keep avoiding the real issue. I too merged my Skype Account with my facebook account and now I have to suffer for this ?
04-07-2014 00:22
You know, it's not just skype but also facebook. I'd keep your life simple and not rely on fb. It's a temporary holding spot anyway. Technology is and always has been workaround.
22-07-2014 22:03
I managed to log on to my account on my iPad, but it looks like it's a different profile as I don't see my contacts... Way too difficult!
