Adds adds and sales through a store. If you have choice, you'll not take the adds they will/can add to Metro. While only a possibility, and not a guarantee of direction, their practice with Xbox Dash is the example they seem to be aiming for. I'm not sure if their shareholder talks, big wig talks or marketing surveys suggest they could get away with giving a customer choice and keeping the income piling in. But sadly, they may shoot themselves in the foot then.

The "tube" can be part of the design. Just as a keyboard/cover is with the iPads/RT tablets?

Re: Chickens

Plus... you can feed the chickens insects? I'm all for eating safe and new foods. But is eating insects the most efficient and reasonable course available?

I have some fresh water shrimp. They are probably too small to eat though!

Re: Silly money grabbing Adobe.

Is paint shop pro still an option? Use to be, but that was around 2 decades ago. :P

Re: Query

Is the distribution "identical"? Are elements spread throughout the dust cloud evenly? (Think gravity etc)

Once a planetoids forms, are elements free to escape (hydrogen etc) or do they "rain" in with further impacts (iron rich asteroids etc)?

I would think there are many factors involved that would change the distribution of the compositions. :)

Nice!

*Sees the gaming hardware monitors sweat*

... ah, still, great office.

Re: Just made a Corel user out of me

But at what price Don Jefe? It works offline, and does Corel too? But which one costs less?

Wish to explain why?

Re: Steganography is no use

The "key" is optional (else "password"). Likewise with it being "invisible" too. It's the most the process and software can do. You can always scale it down or apply it with a logo and other meta data. However the "invisible" data is harder to remove, so provides better traceability for instances where the other data has been scrubbed.

Re: Stupid question C 18

Information is near enough the same thing. Everything in the universe is made of information and matter (or information and energy depending how you squint). "Nothing" can move faster than light in this universe (so far as we can tell with all our observations and calculations).

This should not be a problem though. It's only humans that are concerned with the speed of travel or progress, photons, protons and information can take as long as it wants. ;)

Re: Heat! No kidding?

Or "recover" the energy by putting a little steam generator/Thermoelectric Generator (peltier) on it. :D

Re: Wait.

Yeah, I have a large book on astronomy, and it still ends up putting "forgetting" Venus in one of it's orbital illustrations (making us the 2nd rock from the sun).

So, mistakes happen everywhere, it's knowing how to spot them, cross check and avoid repeating them.

Re: Could it be because foraging is more dangerous?

Also it's a task many orders more complex? Brooding can be taught through imitation. Foraging is risking, and if you can learn the first, you can learn foraging. But if you can't learn foraging, you might not get the chance to backtrack career wise to the brood. Cleaning also lets you get near the "outside" without having the venture far. So small steps and in at the shallow end.

So while they are required to "hit the ground running" they are not thrown in at the deep end to drown... so this sounds a little less than the current business strategy? ;)

Re: RLY

Send a fine to the routers for duplicating the bits?

Re: Streaming video,...

"worrying problems later". I think the worry is now, with the person presenting this idea as an actual thing, and not a film plot. At least behind a camera is safer than giving them a rocket.

Re: Compelling reasons for a smart watch?

Replying is easy. You can track finger "presses" or gestures from the wrist band and normal resistance or vibration tracking. Quite a few prototypes already do. That way, you either use your palm as the keypad (or a suitable surface) and remember the keypad layout, or you use gestures and remember the gestures (sign language based?).

Will they use such tech though? No. :(

I think many others do the same in their sci-fi in intimation.

Wait. When did we have a blow out of nuclear reactors? Did I sleep through something this morning?

I think it did quite well in both the 3D aspect, while keeping the gameplay of Sonic 2 or 3, and the speed and flow aspect. Well, minus the massively OTT storyline.

I don't believe you need a full moon. Just a moon in the sky. The moon is tidally locked last time I checked.

In fact, a full moon might make it worse. Static build up cannot help the transmission. Although I don't know if it caused any trouble for the last lot to go there, it might lower your throughput on the modem.

Re: Every single time

I do not believe he was referring to the downloads, just the site. Although both do happen.

Problem is there are problems for both sides. Nothing is truly hidden or untraceable. Nothing is truly fool proof or unbreakable. DRM and blocks on content copying will be broken. The hiding places will be sought out.

Seems the only way to win, is not to play watch any media?

Re: Pirate Bay is one hydra of many

As far as I know JDX the lack of "information" or "knowledge" ceased the day the internet was made. In the past you could hide information, change it, make it secret or try to suppress it. Now, not so much.

This applies both to the distribution of media and the distribution of the knowledge on how to get said media.

I'm not saying I agree with the ill wind, I'm just saying I perceive there is a wind and little we can do to try and stop it. Much better to hoist a sail and use it for gain. So if a free and available distribution of media is a fact, then learn to use it as part of your business model?

If I ever get to be a "content creator" (read: Make something media related to sell), then I'll have to work in the same set of rules as everyone else. But by no means do I need to bang my head against a wall. I'll just try to work around it. Make "piracy" work for the media creators. Such things as "modding" or "user based content" is this exact thing. It opens up the creative works to the customers, then charges (or supplies a service) off the back of those new needs. As suppose to trying to charge for the content, you charge for the ability to create it.

Basically, if you no longer have the ability to enforce copyright, embrace the explosion of content, by selling pencils! :)

Re: It all ends up wetter

Closed cycle. You can recycle or leave to evaporation the water produced. Ice caps melting is less a closed cycle. Or should that be "a larger closed cycle"?

I guess most water is left as vapor or dumped into rivers for efficiency and space. But there is little reason it could not be cycled through a radiator (and at least some of the energy from that reclaimed).

One example is a tomato farm next to a powerplant. They take the carbon dioxide and warm water for the plants. :)

Re: By "carbon"...

Oh, I realize this. Just found it funny how "to get rid of carbon we are making carbon" seemed to come out of the article, until the prefixes "gas" and "solid" are related to the current result and the preferred goal.

Though as said, the part of me that sticks to the laws of thermodynamics considers that this setup would be impossible for things such as coal. Carbon in and carbon out would equal no net gain. :P
