So what's a Ramjet?

There's one fundamental difference between an ordinary jet engine and a scram jet engine: The Ramjet has no moving parts.

The all jet engines,operate according to Newton's Third Law of Motion:
For every action, there's an equal opposite reaction

The standard jet engine, invented by Sir Frank Whittle, sucks in air at the front. Then this air is mixed with fuel, and made to combust. The combustion causes the air to exit the engine at a velocity greater than when it came in, thus creating thrust. The escaping air causes the turbine to spin, and this intern activates the compressor, sucking more air in.

The Ramjet has no turbine and compressor unit. Ramjets fly supersonically and have an inlet which injests subsonic air after it goes through a shock wave in front of the inlet. The intake is slowed down aerodynamically, and then mixed with fuel and made to combust. But after about Mach 5, ramjets don't work so well.

The scramjet is almost but not quite entirely like a ramjet. The only difference being in a scramjet the combustion takes place as the air is travelling through the chamber at supersonic velocities.

More about the scram jet. Or another more concise explanation.

George Boole was one of the teachers of Ada Lovelace the first computer programmer. Some people don't agree that Ada was the first computer programmer. Some people also don't think that Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine was the world's first computer.

From MathWorld:

A theorem which states that the analytic and topological "indices" are equal for any elliptic differential operator on an n-dimensional compact differentiable C^infinitiy boundaryless manifold.

And this is the least technical definition I have come across so far.

Trawling thru the USENET I found:
The Atiyah-Singer expression is:

{ ch(V|X^g)(g) * U(N^g) * Td(X^g) / det (1-g | (N^g)*) } [X^g]

where X is a G-manifold for G cyclic, generated by g, ch()(g) is an equivariant Chern character for trivial G-spaces, U is a combination of characteristic classes which "accounts for" the normal bundle N^g of X^g (the fixed set of X) in X, Td is the Todd class, and the determinant is evident.

Apparently the INVARIANCE THEORY, THE HEAT EQUATION, AND THE ATIYAH-SINGER INDEX THEOREM is a good source too.

It's pretty easy to get a bad credit score. One phone company falsely accusing you of not paying the bill on time is enough. And it takes so much time and effort to correct that error on your credit file.

Imagine a similar scenario with your terror file. You neighbour gets pissed off with you and goes and complains about you. She says you have been hanging out with a bearded people. You have made a business trip to Saudi Arabia.

And that's all it takes. Now you are are terrorist on the FBI terror list. You will never get clearance. You will never get a government job other than cleaning public toilets.

If this measure goes through, you will never get clearance to get a job at a private company either.

One mistake, by someone else, and you are out.

Thank god I am not in the land of the free!
