Microsoft has confirmed that it will be selling Windows 10 on bootable USB flash drives instead of optical media. This will allow consumers to install the OS even on machines that don't have an optical disc drive built-in, such as some of the ultraportable notebooks. The USB drives will also likely be a good bit faster than the discs, making the process quicker.

The OS is now currently up for pre-order on Amazon and is available on a USB drive. You can pre-order the Home edition for $119.99 and the Pro edition for $199.99, if you don't have an existing Windows machine that you can update for free.

Teempakguy:
if the production process requires nanotechnology, as in, manufacturing by building molecule by molecule, then it doesn't matter if it is automated or not.


It will be expensive as shii

This is exactly what 3D printing is for.

Winna01:
is it bio-degradable?

It wouldn't make sense to be bio-degradable, after all part of the reason for making them is so they'll last longer than asphalt.

Teempakguy:
since it is made of recycled material, it should be cheap. But the manufacturing process could be the bummer.

How so? They look like it could be easily automated,

The days of putting up with crumbling asphalt streets might just come to an end. Construction company VolkerWessels has revealed plans for recycled plastic roads that are both more sustainable and more practical than old-fashioned blacktop. Besides reusing material, they'd last about three times longer and survive greater temperature ranges (between -40F and 176F) -- despite their fragile look, they're less likely to crack under the strain of vehicles or the weather. You can pre-assemble them to lay them down faster, too, and their hollow structure is handy for cabling and pipes.
This is just a concept at the moment, but VolkerWessels fully intends to test it and make sure that it holds up in the real world. That's not idle talk, either. The Dutch city of Rotterdam is interested in trying out these plastic surfaces in its "street lab," and the company hopes to have an honest-to-goodness route in operation within three years.

He's the one who was in charge of the experiments of the Maximoff Twins. His people are the ones who stole Loki's spectre, he was one of Hydra's top men - he was introduced in the post-credit scene of CA:TWS. Then kinda wasted in AAoU.

Ok thanks.

Baron von Strucker.

Oh right, I can't follow the comics, is he an integral character in the MCU?

Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Finally watching it for the second time. Strucker was a real disappointment, I really wanted more from him.

Who's Strucker?

Fans of the Angry Birds franchise will be delighted to know that a new installment in the game series is coming before the end of the month.

This time though we're not talking about yet another spinoff, but the first real sequel to the original Angry Birds game.

https://st.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/15/07/angry-birds-2/-728xw3/main.jpg

According to Rovio, the company behind the popular franchise, Angry Birds 2 will launch on July 30. The game will be available on that day in app stores worldwide.

There's already a teaser website put up for Angry Birds 2, but no actual details about how the game will differ from its predecessor have been outed. More information about it is supposed to come on July 28, two days before its release.

Ndeewonu:
Please, help!

I have this USB cable that has two similar (USB) ends. By this, I mean both terminals of the USB cable have the flat end that plugs into the USB port of the computer. 

I have tried to use this cable to connect (and share files across) two of my laptops, but "no show!" The both laptops cannot find each other and nothing can be transferred. 

Am I doing something wrong? Are such cables not meant for this? Is there any other thing I need to do?

Please, I need advice from the Gurus here.

Pics of the cable please, I hope you didn't do join join and expected it to work

Also remember that using a lot of widgets gives your device a significant performance hit.

I didn't know HIV caused pain o, nawa for Nigeria.

This isn't news, everyone knows this. People don't use Android for its security we have BlackBerry and Windows Phone for that.

Teempakguy:
I don't know what to add to it. Or comment. The news is kinda . . . dry, you know? It doesn't make people WANT to add to it . . . it's not that controversial. Nor does it carry emotion. Most people would just veiw this and leave.

Ok that's good enough for me, at least they got the information.

Nellybii:
This is no news. You can insult Obj. Respect for elders is non existent in your culture. A people without any traditional leadership institutions. So tell me who you respect. No elders no leaders Money is all that matters. SMH

I'm sure you meant that as an insult but seriously come on.
Personally I don't give my respect to someone simply because they're older, they have to earn it, deserve it, so go ahead and worship every criminal, pervert, and morally bankrupt psycho because they're your "elder". Thumbs up.

Teempakguy:
I see . . .
Nice but vague news . . .

How is it vague?

Mosquitoes infected with one strain of malaria are more likely to pick up another, a new study shows.



Carrying malaria makes mosquitoes more susceptible to infection with a second strain of the parasite that causes the disease, a new study demonstrates.

People can get infected with malaria parasites multiple times, but researchers knew little about how malaria affects the mosquitoes that are responsible for transmitting the disease.

In laboratory experiments, Laura Pollitt of the University of Edinburgh and colleagues fed female Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes mouse blood tainted with malaria parasites. Compared with uninfected mosquitoes, those that had picked up one strain of Plasmodium chabaudi malaria in their first blood meal were more likely to get infected with a second malaria strain later. Existing infections also increased the number of parasites of the second strain in the mosquitoes, Pollitt and colleagues report July 16 in PLOS Pathogens .

The team did not report whether mosquitoes carrying a double dose of malaria are more likely to pass the parasite to humans or other hosts.

At first glance, headlights seem to have a pretty simple function. They illuminate the road ahead, allowing the driver to see where he or she is going. But what if they did more than that?

Ford says it’s working on a prototype lighting system that can actually point out obstacles, and learn roads so it can adapt its lighting configuration for specific situations. Those are some smart headlights.

The carmaker’s “Camera-based Advanced Front Lighting System” can widen the beam at junctions, as well as use GPS information or a forward-facing camera to predict the curvature of a given road and adjust lighting accordingly. It can also spotlight hazards like pedestrians and animals.

At junctions, the system’s wider sweep better illuminates turn-offs and helps the driver more easily identify pedestrians that may be trying to cross the road, Ford says.

On the move, the spotlighting feature uses an infrared camera in the grille to locate and track up to eight people and/or larger animals at a range of up to 393 feet. It can spotlight two hazards, shining a spot and a stripe on the road surface with dedicated LED lamps next to the fog lights. The highlighted obstacles are also displayed on the car’s dashboard screen, marked with a red or yellow frame depending on distance.

The headlights can also adjust for a given road’s curvature using the aforementioned GPS and forward-facing camera, which is mounted in the base of the rearview mirror. Once the system has analyzed a given road, that information is stored in the navigation system and used again the next time that route is driven.

The system was developed at Ford’s European Research and Innovation Centre in Aachen, Germany, and is based on the Advanced Front Lighting System and Traffic Sign Recognition tech already available in European production cars.

Ford says it expects the technology to reach customers “in the near term.”

Definitely Alzheimers

Not Alzheimer's dude, anterograde amnesia, it's in the article.

In the classic movie "Memento," Guy Pearce’s character Leonard awakes each morning with a blank slate, unable to form new memories due to a condition called anterograde amnesia, which he developed following a blow to the head. This is fictional, but Lenny’s situation isn’t unique to Hollywood. Described in the journal Neurocase is the remarkable story of a British man who, since receiving an anesthetic 10 years ago, can only remember things for up to 90 minutes.

Day in, day out, the man wakes up thinking it’s March 14, 2005, the date his fascinating story began. Thirty-eight-year-old William O. went in for a dental procedure that required a local anesthetic, but after getting into the dentist’s chair, his memory is totally blank. His situation is so unusual that researchers have described it as new to science.

“One of our reasons for writing this individual’s case was that we had never seen anything like this before in our assessment clinics, and we do not know what to make of it,” lead author Dr. Gerald Burgess from the University of Leicester said in a [url=www2.le.ac.uk/offices/press/press-releases/2015/july/memory-loss-man-case-like-nothing-we-have-ever-seen-before]statement.[/url]

Prior to the memory loss event, William was a fit and healthy member of the British Armed Forces. He had no history of psychiatric or mood problems, nor were there any records of mental illness in his family. At 1:40 p.m. on March 14, he went to the dentist for a root canal treatment for which he was given a local anesthetic. After the procedure was finished, the man couldn’t get up and was described as “vacant.” By 5 p.m. that same day, he hadn’t improved and so was taken to the hospital.

For a month following initial admission, he could only remember new things for about 10 minutes, after which the memories vanished. His personality didn’t change, and he was fully aware of who he was and everything up to the incident. Over time, his episodic memory slowly extended, but today he can still only remember events for about an hour and a half, and every day he wakes up believing it’s still 2005 and that he needs to get to the dentist. He only knows differently because he and his wife have put together notes on his smartphone for him to read each morning.

William has a condition called anterograde amnesia, which often manifests from damage to the region of the brain critical to learning and memory, the seahorse-shaped hippocampus. It was thought that he could have had a reaction to the anesthetic that resulted in neurological injury, but several different types of brain scans have failed to find any visible abnormalities.
While researchers are still completely flummoxed, they have put forward a few different ideas, none of which point the finger at the anesthetic or the dental procedure. One is that it could be an unusual form of psychogenic amnesia, which is where patients experience memory loss following a traumatic life event, BBC Future explains. But according to the report, William hadn’t suffered any such events, and he was emotionally stable.

Another possible explanation is that he may have a deficiency in protein synthesis, a process needed for the restructuring of nerve cell connections, or synapses, that permit the flow of information. Without the ability to alter and strengthen these structures following an event, memories cannot be consolidated and therefore fizzle away. What’s most convincing is that this process takes around 90 minutes, which is how long he is able to retain new memories.
