It's so sad to see that this post has been flagged many times. I mean, it's unfair and against the guidelines because this is not the use that flagging was intended for (silencing what you don't want to be known/discussed, like anything ha

I think the sad true is very human, rooted in psychology: we can SEE facebook, but we do not see the government/Washington. People can relate way better with a danger when it is possible to see it, when you can feel it while it's present in

You will have some idea with this article: http://www.cloudecosystem.com/author.asp?section_id=2019&#38... It's exactly what many mid sized business in Germany and elsewhere are looking for, a Cloud solution very easy to handle but that i

Very nice product! Sadly, most guys here do not speak German. I'm thrilled to see how things go for you guys!! And yes, it seems the future for the cloud is local.

That is from yesterday, and was trying to calm down expectations after the first famous “This data is going to be one for the history books. It’s looking really good.”. Today, the Director of the JPL (and so also Webster's) is the one sayi

?? I say he is a Director, InclinedPlane says he is only the "Head". The wikipedia article states without doubt that he is a Director. How is that supporting InclinedPlane? Pfff....

In the soil. They found organic molecules in the soil. So no methane but something solid I guess. And remember, they couldn't find methane yet on mars, Curiosity results were negative. http://www.nature.com/news/nasa-rover-yet-to-find-meth

You are right. But this "perhaps" is not the kind of "Perhaps it's that, perhaps it's something else". He is saying "perhaps" because they are still checking, double checking and extra checking the data. He says "It's preliminary data that

Just to clarify. This guy -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Elachi in a conference in Rome today said that what they found in Mars was organic molecules. He said it was a "perhaps" because they still have to check the data. He a

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Elachi And he said, in fact, that that was what they found, but that it's still a "perhaps" because they have to check the data very very thoroughly. Read the news, and get your informations right. Ple

"Curiosity - ha spiegato Elachi oggi - non è dotato di strumenti per trovare tracce biologiche", ossia molecole necessarie o prodotte da forme di vita, "ma ha la capacità di riconoscere molecole organiche". Già questa sarebbe una novità imp

Please keep in mind that Curiosity has not the capability to recognize biological molecules, only organic ones. That means that even if it finds current life, it will only be able to recognize the presence of organic compounds. That is why

I think that if something like this comes from a NASA director, it is not made up or speculative. A speculation like that not being true would mean the end of his career.

It was in a conference in Rome, that's why the first at reporting it are italian newspapers. It is on the BIG newspapers, so I think is trustwothy: http://www.repubblica.it/scienze/2012/11/28/news/curiosity_m...

Jonathan, then if you feel that way, why do you never flagged but instead participated in discussions in HN about political voting for the medical health bill? Please explain to us if Republicans winning a vote about it is something to be

Sadly, Jonathan is letting his very strong political views once again get the upper hand and he flagged something he feels is somehow against the "best interest" of his country. For us participating in HN from outside the USA, it is bafflin

So following that reasoning, a chinese scientist who made his/her PhD and research work in the USA should be called "an american researcher"? I think you can understand that that is not only not nice, but just wrong. If you think that not r

UK say they have no choice but to do everything possible to get Assange because there is a deportation request. Just one word to answer that and destroy any credibility that position could have: Pinochet.
