You may not want to go to the trouble of entering all of your books into it, but I have just started using tellico to catalog my books and DVDs. So far, it's a pretty nice little program. It fetches most of the book info based on the ISBN, UPC, author, title, etc.
It's a lot like librarything, but unlike librarything you don't have to pay for it ever. It also does stuff that's not a book.
What you're interested in is that you can tell it details about loans, and it'll even tie in with the KDE calendar if you use that.
You're using the term "pre-menupausal" in a very specific way, like pre-eclampsia. You mean "in the stages immediately preceding menopause", but to someone not in the field, pre-menupausal can appear to indicate the stage of life before menopause starts--any female who hasn't gone through menopause.
I don't know a better term for it, but you can see how some people could get confused especially if they're pre-caffeineated.
And you'd be pretty cheap unless you bought these Awesome $23k cables. You are man enough to afford these, right? I mean, everyone who doesn't suck has these.

Like the ones my wife and I have, which are 6-4 Titanium. We drew the design for them in AutoCAD and sent the files to Bruce Boone who finished them in 3 days. He kicks ass.
Our rings were on the high end of his price scale because of the custom work, but at $500 for the pair they are significantly cheaper than a lot of the rings that we saw when we got sized at the mall. A relatively simple embossed ring we saw was $3500! For one! My whole wedding didn't cost as much as that!
History. There were history texts there that went back farther than anything we have now, with sources that were closer to the events than we have access to now.
I don't think we even know what we lost.
The currency to get you into the library would be information. We have lots of information they didn't have--maps would be good. Drawings of animals they didn't have. Lots of stuff.
For information purposes, the Canon 400d does an automatic dark-frame subtraction after every 1+ second exposure. It really helps to cut down on the thermal noise present in the images. Also note that Canon sells the 20da, which is a 20d without the IR cutoff filter.
But no one's claiming that the Big Bang is an omnipotent, omniscient entity who still exists. Scientists can admit that there are limits to our knowledge. Our theories are based on our best data and our best minds. Theists _do_ claim omniscience, omnipotence, and continued existence about the Invisible Sky Bully. So he both knows what will convince me and has the power to do it, but he's not going to. Then he's going to throw my heretical ass in hell _forever_ over the crime of believing only what my senses tell me for ~100 years.
That god is a fucking asshole. Even if we're playing Pascal's Wager here (and Pascal's Wager is just stupid), there's no way I'm worshiping such a petulant little shit.
A good scientist has to have "faith" in previous research, but if new data are presented, old theories are re-examined. The new theory may be mocked at first. This isn't the best answer, but it's human nature--and there are a lot of crackpots out there. When there is an overwhelming amount of evidence, theories are changed. That does not happen with religion. People are killed.
Yup, you're correct. There are still things that you can't do on the ground (wavelengths that our atmosphere absorbs) but for the price, ground-based AO observing is very, very good.
Also, remember that the JWST is not serviceable. If its mirror doesn't unfold, well, that's it. The GTC has 6 spare segments so that a rolling re-aluminising can be done.
No, really! I work for the University of Floriday Astronomy department. The department has a 5% share of the GTC, and we're looking into another 5%. That may not seem like much, but if you consider one night of 10 meter time can be enough data for a graduate thesis, it's a massive amount of time.
The IR instrumentation group in my building is building a _giant_ instrument for the GTC. It's called FLAMINGOS-II. IR is where it's at in astronomy right now, so it's neat to be in an up-and-coming department.
If you guys have any questions about the telescope, I'll do my best to answer them or find out for you.
Your point is fair, but remember that we all go somewhere to get our food now, no matter what. We have to drive to the farmer's market, even.
New Yorkers could take the subway, or there could be a high-efficiency transport of food to the greenmarkets to which people could walk. We're talking fairly minimal carbon emissions for transport any way we do it. It's just a matter of figuring out what's the most efficient method. I vote for the greenmarkets.

In addition to the other replies, there's this reason: Larger turbines start producing power at lower wind speeds, and their blades spin more slowly (rpm--tip speed is another matter). Small turbines spin at very high speeds, creating a lot of noise and vibration. It's generally unwise to mount a small turbine to your house because it's hard to live with.
A big turbine on a structure like this might work out. As I recall, there's a proposed building in the La Defense area of Paris that has turbines on top.
You should be careful with PV panels. If your house is shaded by trees, even a small, sharp shadow on part of a panel will drastically reduce its output. Make sure that you consult a good PV installer/dealer/someone who really knows his shit before you buy a ton of panels and inverters and stuff.
As for wind, you'll have to put the turbine well above the tops of the trees to get out of the turbulent airflow. Also, the bigger the turbine, the slower the blades turn, and the less noise is generated. Bigger turbines start generating in slower wind speeds, too.
Good luck! I hope to have a super energy efficient/power generating house someday, too.
Well, the JWST hasn't really just been announced. I saw this model when I went to the SPIE conference several months ago. JWST itself has been in the planning stages for years. It was originally called NGST.
And the only two current, viable telescope proposals for telescopes larger than 10m
Hey! That's not fair! The GTC in the Canary Islands is 10.4 m. Choke on that!
I'm really just kidding. The GTC is pretty much a slightly larger version of Keck. It is really cool, though, and it's almost ready for first light.
And my wife is designing an instrument for it. *rock*
We need as many telescopes and instruments as we can keep running. No ground-based telescope can do a 10^6 second integration (see Hubble deep field and ultra deep field). The US is getting its ass kicked by the Euros because we won't spend money on science.
Mine isn't quite a bug, but an interesting way that they handled the weapons in descent 1. All of the weapons were a "laser" level. If you hex-edit the savegame file, you can increase your laser level beyond 4. I liked to set my laser to the meganukes. It was fun to see a stream of huge homing missiles streaking towards a target.
You did have to be careful to avoid the laser powerups, though. It must have been programmed thusly:
got-laser-upgrade if laserlevel > 3 then laserlevel = 4 else laserlevel ++

30 kph is easy to maintain on a road bike. If you're in shape to do it, the hard thing is fitting in pants. Fucking vanity sizing.
Yeah. Tapes, though linear and expensive, are still the best solution for many backups. Mine, for example. I have an LTO3 drive, which gets me about 600 GB of data on a tape with compression.
And once it's written, I can throw the tape in my backpack and ride home with it, not worrying about heads banging into platters. The tapes are about $100, which is close to par with hard drives now (400 GB native), but in the not too distant future, LTO4 will be out, which doubles the capacity.

Sounds about right to me.
I think it was 200 mph. People drive 90 now and can read standard billboards.

Not really. The postscript in the book indicates that casinos no longer let you change tables as is required for the heavy better to make money.

No they didn't. The only Lotus parts on the Tesla roadster are the windscreen and the wing mirrors.
