Yes there is but it looks like licensing is a big issue. The talk surrounding Freenas' transition to Linux and the possibility of using Fuse essentially came to a conclusion that there are issues with using Fuse on Freenas for some reason. It may very well be that the implementation is too unstable at this point in time.
Higher frequencies of sound dissipate rapidly in the air. For something small and moving relatively slowly you would set up a system of standing soundwaves that interfered with its self and once an object disrupts that interfering system, the change becomes detectable.
La Forge already discovered this when they did made a tachyon pulse grid to detect if there are any Romulan ship trying to get in to Klingon space while the there was civil unrest in Kronos.
Technically the tachyon grid was a trap. They purposely left a hole in the net to catch the Romulans. Of course, in the real world, a sensor array of even interplanetary scale is far beyond our capabilities. The sensitivity needs to be extraordinary to detect somethin the size of a ship at such distances.
TFA mentions using charged particles and multiple wavelengths of EM to detect a clocked object. TFA suggests that they were measuring the actual effect on the path of the radiation its self although it should be pointed out that this is quite possibly unnecessary as high energy charged particle entering a solid material undergo an extremely high de-acceleration phase which causes charged particles to emit EM radiation. It's called Bremsstrahlung radiation and could quite possibly be detected.
No invisibility cloak can hide the fact that it's still a solid object. That or utilize various frequencies of EM as it would be extremely difficult to defeat radar + infared + visible + UV all at the same time.
Those weapons don't create anything. Building more of them diverts resources from productive projects inevitably having a significant long term negative impact on the economy as a whole. The broken window fallacy applies to much more than the hypothetical broken windows themselves and in fact describes the result of intentionally over-producing any economically worthless goods.
I believe the point is that our military is overkill compared with just about any military force on the planet. Anything beyond what we need to adequately defend ourselves is excessive.
There is nothing as beneficial to mankind as Pax Americana.
Not with the degree of interventionism we've seen over the last decade it isn't.
No it doesn't. Breaking windows to give the glass maker work to do doesn't create anything. A case can be made for infrastructure projects as they tend to facilitate the creation of actual things. Unfortunately, the military is in little danger of going on a diet any time soon as the US is still in "be afraid" mode.
Could I be potentially liable if the previous owner had been a kiddie-porn freako? The images might still be buried deep in the disk after all.
The previous owner doesn't need to be a "kiddie porn freako" for that to happen; just someone that downloaded a bad p2p file like this guy apparently did.
The distinction is important because it emphasizes the difference between "the people" being a reference to individual gun ownership vs "the people" being collective (militia/police etc.) in nature. However, you need only look at the revision history of the democratic party page as an example of the editing wars going on behind the scenes at Wikipedia. The fact remains that fact checking the articles from any source, Wikipedia in particular, is vital to being properly informed.
I kinda get the feeling that "electronic" instruments are seen as replacing traditional/acoustic instruments, at least in the minds of geeks/young people. I disagree.:)
Anything that can be recorded by electronic means can in principle be duplicated in performances. Physical instruments are limited by physics and their design. Electronic instruments don't have such a narrow limitation as the types of notes available are not dictated by the materials and shape of the electronic instrument. Having said that, the video its self was rather underwhelming. Just variations on a single tone. The "instruments" were programmed by the students themselves which is what is novel about them; Not so much the fact that the performance its self was disappointing.
We're talking about ADDITIONAL investment, not current investment.
Well let's see.. 1) E85 Ethanol can't be used in the vast majority of cars 2) The production capacity is no where near providing enough Ethanol for the country anyway (nor could it ever be) 3) The production of Ethanol is an overall waste of petrol that hasn't even broken even Corn Ethanol is welfare for farmers. Always has been. Always will be. No amount of "additional investment" will ever make that scheme work.
I disagree. It's popular because our overnmen has a fairly substantial subsidy on Corn based Ethanol. Without it the industry would collapse as it isn't terribly profitable. If massive several billion a year subsidies don't count as additional "investment" what does?
There's actually quite a bit of power generation capacity going to waste by virtue of not being able to store that power effectively between times of high and low demand. Actually if we made use of electric cars as temporary stores of power they could help stabilize the grid. Besides, we'll probably need to build more plants anyway considering that we need more capacity and cleaner more environmentally friendly plants in the near future. As for resources, if Copper becomes too scarce, the price rises and either we find a cheaper replacement or a new way to get more Copper.
No surprise there. Corn is horrifyingly inefficient for producing Ethanol as a fuel. Ethanol is highly miscible with water making extraction of the fuel its self rather energy intensive to say nothing of the production of fertilizers etc being petroleum derived. Algae biodiesel and mycodiesel show much more promise. The mycodiesel can run off a cellulose feedstock which is handy because that's mostly what you have as a by-product of extracting the lipids from algae. The lipids are fairly hydrophobic so extraction from a liquid medium isn't that hard. The only real problem is efficiently breaking the cells and pressing the oils out of them. Another option is drying the algae and reforming the material using thermal depolymerization and fischer tropsch reactions to synthesize hydrocarbons among many other useful chemicals. There's even a patent on using a strain of bacteria that can produce ethanol from syngas which is a product of the thermal depolymerization. iofuels aren't dead, the important game changing ones are just ignored in favor of that failure named corn derived ethanol.
I believe the major reason why you'll find more diesel engine powered cars in Europe has to do with the stronger emissions regulations in the United States. Ironic isn't it?
Think again. They drove the Prius as fast as they could on that track ending up with 17 mpg. No one in their right mind would drive that way in the real world. Sure BMW can make a car that can beat the Prius at 100+ mph but that isn't what the Prius was designed for. It was designed to drive at speeds commonly used by commuters. Under those conditions it does very well averaging somewhere in the 40's.
Way to ensure this whole thread goes off track, by trolling on an unrelated and politically charged topic. And with an example poorly chosen as proof of anything, at that.
Too bad the moderation system for the most part extends only to comments and not the front page story its self. Mod the story and the editors -1 troll, dupe etc. and filter the front page like you would the comments in the story. If a story is modded into the ground, it doesn't show up on the front if you've set your view threshold high enough. That way we could filter out some of the more poorly written stories and give the editors a good reason to do their jobs properly otherwise there's a reduction in page views.
Anyway to get this back on topic... These bad code offsets just look like another way to donate to various projects in a more marketable fashion. Sending a check to Mozilla is apparently not as interesting as donating through these "bad code offsets."
typing *.cm instead of.com is as simple as having an o key that gets stuck occasionally and not noticing the typo. All it takes is a keyboard that needs a good cleaning and a user that isn't paying enough attention.
Except that if they do they've just bought themselves a one way ticket to prison if they're convicted of fraud. The truth will come out either way it's just a matter of time.
You act as if the deniers have nothing to gain from ignoring the science. No matter what the science says, everyone that has a stake in industries that produce large amounts of CO2 will tend to fight tooth and nail against anyone claiming that CO2 does any harm. Simple selfish interest.

The purpose of the economy is to produce what is needed not to guarantee the buggy whip manufacturer a job.

Take a look at the more politically focused pages.
I like to think of FOX and Salon like Wikipedia: Occasionally they point you to something interesting but you'd better verify what they say elsewhere.

BS. They have much to gain from denying AGW. Truth doesn't factor into the profit equation here.
