There are many more choices than 1984 and BNW.
There was that Asimov story about the single human who helped the Androids/Robots achieve freedom by committing Genocide on the whole human race. At the end, he is the only human alive and his supposed girl friend reveals she is an Android.
Then there is John Brunner's "A Jagged Orbit" which was good, but depressing.
Then we can stray into Fantasy with Stephen R. Donaldson and the Thomas Convenant series. I could not get past the second book. It was too depressing.
Then finally, one of my all time favorites that was kind of depressing. "The Siege of Wonder" by Mark S. Geston. It details a war between Science and Magic. You can't help but root for Magic. Science discovers that all of Human behavior, even love, can be modeled by Mathematics. People who fully understand the math, tend to all commit suicide. Science wins the war, but nobody seems to be all that happy about the victory. Very good book, but leaves you depressed at the end.
No, there really is a consensus among climatologists. 0ver 97% of climatologists who are actively publishing on climate change and over 85% of climatologists in general agree that human influences are responsible for most of the global warming we are seeing
And the 3% that don't agree, don't get funding, tenure or publishing. Quite the incentive to toe the Religious line. Also, 97% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I did it in English units, but my answers match yours. Assuming constant acceleration with zero velocity at start. 240 mph terminal velocity over 300 feet. Time = 1.7045455 seconds, and acceleration is 206.50667 feet/sec^2 which works out to a gforce of 6.4533333
This was a nice opportunity to use the Scilab 5.3 that I just installed this morning.
This was fixed in ESX 3.5 somewhere around update 2 or just after. I can't remember off the top of my head which update fixed it. We are using 2 VCPU and 4 VCPU vm's in Vsphere 4 Update 1 and they work quite nicely.
I am certain that under specific hypothetical situations I might react in various ways, but officers are not walking into wal-mart and tasering people for the sake of watching them fall down.
Why don't you scroll up to your own post and actually read what you yourself quoted in your post. Then try to draft a response that refutes the link that I provided.
I can add more links to the House Un-American Activities Committee, the hollywood blacklist and the Japanese internment camps if you like. That's just a small listing.
I am quite happily using a Dlink DIR-655 with the stock 1.21 firmware. It is shown as fifth on the above charts for speed. I only have 6MB/768K cable, so I am not stressing it out. I had to make a few minor tweaks in the web interface to get this router to play nice with my work Cisco VLAN agent. It was disconnecting me every 5 minutes. Once that was done, it has been rock solid. It has QOS features and it's DHCP server allows you to set static ip's for known MAC addresses which I really like.
It also does the standard port forwarding/triggering. It is not as configurable as DDWRT/Tomatoe but does everything that I want or need it to do. It includes a 4 port Gigabit switch and is Wireless N and supports WPA/WPA2 tkip/AES encryption. Costs ~$100.00 but has been worth every penny.
Compare the performance of something like FoxIt PDF Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ) against Adobe Reader, and then tell me with a straight face that Adobe's version is better.
Open a pdf file in Adobe Reader and then open the same pdf in foxit reader and compare the text quality side by side and then tell me with a straight face that foxit is better. Bonus points if you have astigmatism and presbiopia.
I have really wanted to find a viable alternative for Adobe Reader, but everyone that I have tried has failed one simple test. I open a pdf file in Adobe and in the other reader and put the windows side by side, and the text always looks worse on the competitor.
Adobe does some kind of font smoothing or anti aliasing and always looks better. My eyes are not what they used to be and I need text to be as clear and smooth as possible, so I am kind of stuck with using Adobe until I can find something that renders text better.
I will give you peak oil, but peak coal is still being predicted as 2025 +- 5 years and the USA at even the most conservative estimate, still has a 100+ year supply for our own use.
ergo, x is 20 times quieter than y, assuming x and y are based on linear units of quiet. The math gets slightly more complex if you insist on using logarithmic units like decibels. I leave that as an exercise to the reader with reference source here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

No, you have to climb into a refrigerator to survive that.
Why not just force every citizen to post a continuous blog of their every activity at every moment of every day for all time?
Isn't this called Facebook?
I predict that in 100 years, fusion will only be 50 more years out from being in practical use.

I sadly have to agree with this post. I too was wrong. DNS needs to be removed from US control.
Slight correction. G-force is 6.4184332 My prior answer used 32feet/sec^2 instead of g = 32.174 ft/s^2

They can't be serious. Leading experts agree they must first build a SpaceshipFactoryProvider.
Your JavaFoo is weak.
They need a SpaceshipFactoryFactory
My favorite is Florida Orange Blossom honey. You used to have to buy it in Florida but now I can get it in Ohio at some of the upscale Grocery stores.
turbulent flow, shocks, complex fluids, plasmas, particle transport, seismic modeling, radiation hydrodynamics, astrophysics, nuclear data, fission, radchem, radiation detector design, nuclear forensics, thermonuclear burn, nuclear energy, nuclear reactor fuels, plasticity, ejecta, friction, the equation of state (from SciDAC)
Here is what you can do with the third fastest supercomputer.

I beg to differ with you. http://www.graphictruth.com/2007/12/35-year-old-woman-tasered-in-front-of.html
There are already people out there who can see more than the normal human spectrum.
Tetrachomacy
So I think the potential is already there.

Now how are You going to back-pedal out of this one?

Here's some math, since you are insisting on it.
y = 20 * x
ergo, x is 20 times quieter than y, assuming x and y are based on linear units of quiet. The math gets slightly more complex if you insist on using logarithmic units like decibels. I leave that as an exercise to the reader with reference source here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure
Well, since crypto was considered a munitions for export from the USA, calling it military grade kind of fits.
Except that you are totally and completely wrong.
