I thought the spin problem was a non issue: they just wanted to see if they could relight the engine when Falcon is falling back to earth at speed. When it's relit they can compensate the spin and take control.

I gave up reading Slashdot* but I have started reading it again occasionally. The new design looks like any other blog; I might give up again if they go with this look. Problems with Slashdot that caused me to leave: * Stories getting later

Projectors tend to put out a lot of heat. I would worry that my head would get hot wearing it. I would also be concerned about the weight. While HUDs are cool; there is a reason that most major automobile manufacturers haven't put them

I don't like posting on SO because it doesn't matter how careful I am to word my questions I always get asked to "show your code". Even when I'm asking about general usage of an API or theory. Usually I end up posti

In the article he talks as if the repair shop is the first place he took it to, only one month after buying it. Then later he says "This one had fooled camera repair shops, professional photographers and Canon employees for way longer

I think the evidence presented with this article is at best inconclusive. So a couple of guys at the repair shop guessed it's a fake. The comparison flash is a couple of years old. If on the other hand the author had sent the flash to

PNG is a properly specified format with written documentation. ICO has many undefined and assumed values. The only reason you would use ICO for favicons instead of PNG is that it supports multiple images.

I think I'm going to vomit if I see another web page written in the 21st century that condones the use of ICO format. Please, please, please can we have some kind of multi image PNG format ? How about multiple PNG images wrapped in a T

What a waste of time. Boarding passes are not designed the way they are to be helpful to the passenger! If you put the seat diagram or the boarding priority on the pass, people will demand those things. The airline needs to be able to shift

But surely Apple does a search of the App store for other products with the same name, as part of the submission process ? Another app with almost identical name and same icon from a different developer, red flag no ? How would the fraudste

It would never work. No whistleblower was ever thanked or benefitted from their actions. The only way to survive as a whistleblower is to be anonymous, cover your tracks, leave the organisation, leak credible information with evidence to th

In 5 years time Snowden will get fed up of the constant games and finally gives himself up to the US government out of sheer boredom. Then he will get shoved into a small cell, Kevin Mitnick style for 15 years. After great expense will it h

We have to believe that "all this time they wanted to charge less but their hands were tied". Sure. This has happened loads of times in history, where prices were high but kind hearted vendors dropped their prices whenever possibl

The blog post is an ad hominem attack. I think the researcher mixed up who is connected to what site; but over all he is right: his paper has not been retracted (yet and possibly won't be). Should he sue or threaten to sue about it ? Probab

So when Thai people want to buy something online, how do they know if the price is in Bitcoin or Baht ? Your attitude appears to be very US-centric: you don't think Thai people buy things online in their own currency or you don't think it's
