I have never send a tweet and just use it as a news feed. Is there anything wrong with that?

This is great, thanks! I can't think of too many projects I've worked on that needed delay-tolerant interplanetary communications software though, hopefully in the future.

Depends on the situation and the audience. "Sorry, our engineers didn't allocate enough resources or our programmers didn't account for your specific inputs, so we can't process your request." sounds reasonable to m

How long would it take their staff to revoke a single certificate? $25 seems expensive for something that can't take more than 5 minutes per certificate, unless there is more to it than I'm aware of. I guess it doesn't really

There's not always a perfect solution, gotta work with what you're given. If you absolutely can't wait for the updated status message then the solution I gave was the only solution. If the price of the revocation (which my is

So wait until you see this message: https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/heartblee... and then update your certs again just to be safe.

Obviously they were working as fast as they possibly could without risking major outages. They probably had millions of servers to update. I'd even argue that it's not a good idea to advertise, "these servers are vulnerable t

Yep, and since the invention of guided missiles that could just as easily destroy the bridges and tunnels the explosives have become redundant, too expensive, and not worth the safety risk.

by dm2 13y ago
That use to be true, but isn't anymore. I'm pretty sure that most of them have been removed by now and new bridges and tunnels are no longer built with explosives. Wouldn't it be just as easy these days to just fire a few mis

That actually looks pretty interesting and well thought out, I kind of want to try one. The finger position looks weird though, much more curled fingers than my normal finger position on a keyboard. Spaceship keyboard: https://ww

Once there is a post-scarcity society then jobs will not be required. If you can throw in some trash into a "replicator" and have it 3D print anything you want, then what more do you need other than some raw material, shelter, and

It has a propeller on the back attached to the engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotax_912 I'm guessing the drive-shaft can be switched to power the propeller or the wheels.

This trend started in Europe by people flipping them over into canals. The media hesitated on reporting it because they didn't want copy-cats. I wonder if insurance for Smart cars is higher in some areas than it should be because they

Flying car prototypes have been around for a while, this one is nothing special. They're basically a street legal airplane, they are not good cars and they are not good airplanes. It's like combining a mouse and keyboard, the end

17 km per SECOND, not hour, if any site says hour then it's wrong. Here is Voyager 1 and 2s official website, you can see the distance being updated live, you'll notice that it increases very fast. http://voyager.jpl.na

Voyager 1 is traveling at about 57,000 kph. http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?MCode=Voyag... The 250k being fast enough remark was just a joke. Yeah, space is inconceivably massive, that's why my ma

The device in the article was implanted over 10 years ago. I'm sure there are research teams looking into the wireless methods, in 2002 it just wasn't possible yet. Magnetic induction has it's own challenges, especially when

I'm not sure that the device itself is the costly part though (other than the research to develop it). The main cost right now seems to be the surgery, brain surgery ain't cheap, especially when it's experimental procedures.

The Wired article that someone else linked to says that the resolution was 32 x 32 (1024), if that's the same person. The amazing part is that the brain quickly learns to interpret the signals and can create an image. I wonder if the b

The "jacks" they are referring to are the openings in the skin where the wires come out of, I'm guessing one for data and one for power. Artificial openings in the body are very difficult to keep from getting infected. http:

Why did the devices start to fail after 8 weeks? Was it because of the infection? Are there any similar devices that have been installed in people that have been more successful? $100,000+ for 8 weeks of sight is very sad to think about. Wh

It probably only applies to deliveries in dense cities with a grid-like street layout. Anywhere else and it's probably faster to just make the left turn.
