Are you saying 'the religion of Peace' is not coercive to it's believers? And if you should wish to leave?
Back to the IT mode, how long can superstions last against an internet full of facts? I'd guess no more than a century, in which things will get much worse before they get better.
Six PCs with licensed XP in this house which couldn't now run Win7. One more offline Libretto with 98 (kitchen, favourite game only) and one putrid netbook with extra memory and mysterious Win7. Several have Linux on Wubi for fun, but it's not much fun you know. XP is here to stay, whatever Microsoft prefers. Win8 is surely for laughs only.
And for any 'mass market', the 'Apache' tag is really strange. In this country, most people see some kind of aggressive (defensive?), er, 'Native American'. Just about as silly as 'Adobe', where people ask about the connection with mud huts. Could try raising brand awareness, or just something sensible, or meaningless, instead.
Should have used the green paint trick. Just spread it on the water, when the periscope comes up, all green - so they keep rising. As the sub gets to 500 feet, you shoot it down with ack-ack.
I thought the speed of light was 'instant', for an observer sitting on the photon. The photon has no mass, which is why it's at c. And being at c, time dilation means there is no 'time' between departure and arrival (for that observer only). How do you go faster than that? (Or, what's wrong with my oversimplification?0
Missed a step? "They had 1 out of 36 engines that have failed... If that is fully representative of the risk of failure,...That's a 2.78% chance of an engine failing." Might feel it's too small a sample to base a safety case.
Sounds like a politician who has helped constituents oppose the closure of a much-loved local hospital, and then can't admit he knows the treatments are nonsense. Note his dodge that if doctors and patients agree, they should have it: bring back leeches? [Disclosure: I dealt with him on health issues years ago, and he's not like that - but he *is* a politician].
London had a full network of compressed air pipes for (static) power. Our underground garage had an air car-lift, but it had to be converted to electricity when the Telcos bought the pipe network for optical fibre. Uni had a small passenger lift ('elevator') with a huge air piston that went up 6 floors.
Yikes! We here in Britain (the silent majority) are sick to the teeth of the stupid Olimpikz (which we have to call 'Games', so as not to be discriminatory to Paralytics). Go put them forever in Greece, where they belong, and which borrowed loadsa money for the facilities, and much needs money now.
Going the other way, when I retired I wanted my corporate archive from the beginnings of e-mail to be searchable by young folks with so much less experience of legal precedent (or contacts). There was a 'Google' thing then that indexed keywords, but we had security concerns with that. So I just copied all my stuff to a reliable secretary who stayed. Three years later they needed evidence for an international court case, and contacted me - didn't even know they had it already. Great there's backup in my rural garage.
Slashdot is for 'tech' stuff. We shouldn't rubbish religions, even if we agree they are rubbish. Why do some communities evolve some religions? What happens when incompatible beliefs clash? Why do new religions keep starting, just as the old ones get sensible? Might fundamentalist religions have value in post-meltdown communities? If all these were (defective) operating systems, we might make more sense of things.
Don't fill chalkboards full of algebra. Explain things as proportions, diagrams, probabilities. Focus on 'significance' in survey methods. You may learn something too.
Might it have anything to do with terrorists communicating in ways that can't be tapped? Same kind of catch-all as Federal 'wire fraud' in the USA? Not intended as a problem for the innocent.
Reminds me she had problems with WiFi until 2012 update, WEP never worked, WPA2 is now rock solid. No touchscreen problems (just asked). Restore factory settings and all updates? But she might not be so enthusiastic if she didn't use a BB too.
Got one for my wife (to go with her Blackberry) and she loves it, much preferred to daughters' iPads. To me, 'Bridge' pairing is a bit creaky and the fact that you can't use the USB for storage would be a killer. Nicely-made kit, though. Never locked up once.
Who says it's 'Art'? - might be an image of 'the hand that has killed', and the blobs might be notches on the club, all there for the cave-goblins to approve.
In the UK it's largely because the 'price' includes 'recovery' of all the audiologist's time and overheads which are misleadingly presented as 'free'. Try buying it used, and no one will set it up for you. Cartel point is valid too, similar reason.
At Hitler's lunch table, Dr Dietrich boasted he got his best ideas in the bath. "Then you should bath more often", said Dr Goebbels....true. But seriously, you get more ideas if you have time to think about them - how surprising is that, Herr Professor?
Must be right (radio-synch)
Time at a glance *plus* proportional 'time before' (so analog face, numerals if you need them)
Must work at night (luminous)
Must have legible date
Must be swim/shower proof (sub. escapes are rare)
Must have conformant strap (metal bracelets are for Girlz)
- hard to find an *expensive* watch that meets this spec!
Read it ALL on pprune (ignore the permanent troll there), and you'll see that things were quick, but not necessarily simple. The sad guy who just 'pulled' to misleading 1g stall had his young wife in the back, so don't ever think he wasn't trying. I do believe think the sidestick movement (lack of) and logic (deltaT, not proportional) is suboptimal, but that wasn't all.
I used to find 'Microsoft Maps' quite useful, and easier than some to post on websites. But since they called them Ping, or something equally stupid, I haven't been back.
Maybe OT, but if in the UK do check out the 'PCG Guide to Freelancing', 84 pages.pdf. Obviously the tax and law detail is specific to Britain, but the general advice is very sound.

Would that be the 'Philippe Starck' who turned the Eurostar lounges into barbers' salons? All aboard for the Skylark, Starck!

Fred Hoyle was to astrophysics what Noam Chomsky is to linguistics.
