You're right, I should have said "renewable." And no, interstate electrical transportation is not practical on a large scale. This is exactly what I was saying about two posts up.
When I asked if the OP had a room temperature superconductor, I wasn't just asking to be argumentative. That is the kind of technology that would be required to make long distance electrical transportation feasible and it doesn't exist.
That's... nice? Despite them being closer than, say, Seattle and New York, I was referring to the fact that Seattle is often covered by clouds, while Oregon usually isn't.
However, Seattle was simply an example of an area where solar power would be impractical due to weather conditions. It was an example because Seattle is actually already very environmentally friendly in power generation since hydroelectric is so easily utilizable in the area.
Tell "no choice" to science. Solar panels are as close to providing our base power needs as fusion, which, incidentally, would be a far greater advancement. All other renewable sources are based on location (wind, tidal, geothermal, etc.) and, unless you have a stable and cheap room-temperature superconductors, that's not realistic either.
I don't think you actually understand the nature of energy production in an engineering standpoint. The ideal efficiency for a solar panel is 20%, but I don't see even 20% efficiency doing much for Seattle.
Nuclear fission is not an ideal solution, but it is a realistic solution. Oh, and it's called nuclear fission or nuclear power, not "nukes."
Though Nuclear does have the benefit of no greenhouse gases, it still has the same fundamental problem that oil does: it's business model is predicated on NOT dealing with its wastes! We STILL doe not have a solution to the incredibly toxic wastes we've been generating for decades. The only solution is to hide the waste. You think this is a viable alternative?
Yes.
Solar and wind power cannot provide base energy requirements for the vast majority of the nation. We could continue harvesting power from fission reactors using breeder reactors and refinement for thousands of years with no adverse affect on the environment. The difference between combustion reactions and nuclear is that the waste from nuclear is containable.
I actually did using the standard ABX. But you're right, a good AAC encoder is actually really damn good. I can usually tell the difference between PCM and 256kb LAME but I didn't pass the ABX at 212kb AAC. I think its half good hearing (compensated by my fairly bad sight) and half just knowing every intricacy of the songs by heart.;)
My only problem with OGG is that it isn't supported on my iPhone, otherwise its a fantastic codec.
What are you talking about? They're both insecure and if you give a crap about the data you're sending out you shouldn't use either of them. I'll simplify it - do not use incomplete SSL X.509 certificates or any plaintext transmission if you care about your data. Period.
Firefox has the right idea - their page is meant to alert you that, although you're using https, it is not trustworthy. That said, I believe that the X.509 system may benefit from also accepting publicly signed public key certificates, a la PGP/GPG.
Mod parent up - amici curiae are fine and were often meant to be used in this manner. The main concern is if the brief has merit prima facie - which can and is determined by the judge when he reads the brief.
One of the elementary cryptanalyses is to use all plaintext that is shipped with the ciphertext as a possible key to the cipher. In addition, using the same key, especially if its something like mplayer, violates general principles of usage of PRNG.
If you are going to do this, I recommend at least applying a good compression function to increase entropy. Oh, and don't think about using it in a Vernam cipher.
They might be as altruistic as you say, but I'm afraid that cyclotrons still run into the millions of dollars no matter how good-hearted you are.
My father started his own company that develops new tests for cancer in the bloodstream. The company isn't large and doesn't actually sell any equipment (the KIMTECHs do all that), but he licenses his patents to companies which sell it to physicians all over the world.
My father is extremely altruistic but you can't run a company with a constant deficit. He put hard work and an extremely rare commodity (intelligence) into the company and he deserves to get something out of it.
Sure, I guess I misunderstood what you were saying and assumed that the blurb was accurate in that the wording of the contract is effectively 'any p2p traffic on the AT&T(tm) 3G (R) network is forbidden'.
They claim nothing about copyright and nothing about P2P - lawful or unlawful. They simply state that P2P traffic is grounds for termination of service on their network. We can surmise the reasons for this (obviously bandwidth) but that really is the sum of the restriction.
The pope never accepted the new arrangement, and it led to a schism between those clergy who swore the required oath and accepted the new arrangement ("jurors" or "constitutional clergy") and the "non-jurors" or "refractory priests" who refused to do so. The ensuing years saw violent repression of the clergy, including the imprisonment and massacre of priests throughout France.
The term "REIGN OF TERROR" should have clued you in about the French Revolution.
Note: I actually have an extensive historical background in European history and would like to note that Rousseau and Locke were probably the most influential in terms of thought, while the US founding fathers went ahead and worked it into practical form and the first true modern democracy.
Um.... if someone wanted to compile their own Windows MSI or exe , that would be free too. The only plus about linux (for the builder) is that its much easier to land dependencies and the build environment.
For the installer, the plus is its much easier to type cd/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox && make install clean than it is to go to a website;)
Do you live in the united states? If you do you should know that there is no federal test material. Education, to a certain extent, is left up to the states. As far as state testing goes, nothing compares with the sat in terms of difficulty and the sat has very few difficult math questions on it (same with act ). The only place from there is ap tests, which don't come close to being statistically fair.

fine, then use 320kb aac, its technically (not just audibly) indistinguishable and its MPEG compliant.
For lossy compression... why would you use lossy compression if you want the best quality?
Anyone who still uses LAME for "high quality" is behind the times. If they really need a lossy codec, aac at 320kb is practically lossless.
Yeah - looked it up, apparently version 3 does support web of trust. Who knew? Still, no one seems to use it...

I know you were joking but in the Cultural Revolution of Communist China there was the Great Sparrow Campaign

Fair enough - I'd read my contract (just got it in the mail) but its like a book!

seriously, what is it with you guys and ice?
g-eh
where events from the French Revolution to World War 2 have really solidified respect for things like the rule of law.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No, sure, when I think of true democratic government and evenhanded justice, I think of liberte,egalite,fraternite.
I'll just spot you a couple choice quotes from Wikipedia to help illuminate the position:
Returning to the HÃtel de Ville (city hall), the mob accused the prévÃt des marchands (roughly, mayor) Jacques de Flesselles of treachery; his assassination took place en route to an ostensible trial at the Palais Royal.
The pope never accepted the new arrangement, and it led to a schism between those clergy who swore the required oath and accepted the new arrangement ("jurors" or "constitutional clergy") and the "non-jurors" or "refractory priests" who refused to do so. The ensuing years saw violent repression of the clergy, including the imprisonment and massacre of priests throughout France.
According to archival records, at least 16,594 people died under the guillotine or otherwise after accusations of counter-revolutionary activities.[12] A number of historians note that as many as 40,000 accused prisoners may have been summarily executed without trial or died awaiting trial.[12][13] The slightest hint of counter-revolutionary thoughts or activities (or, as in the case of Jacques Hébert, revolutionary zeal exceeding that of those in power) could place one under suspicion, and trials did not always proceed according to contemporary standards of due process.

It runs on os x, it does not emulate os x. More exactly: there is a client for OS X but you can not create OS X virtual machines.
P.S. Yes, I know ports doesn't install a binary, its just an example.
Um.... if someone wanted to compile their own Windows MSI or exe , that would be free too. The only plus about linux (for the builder) is that its much easier to land dependencies and the build environment.

cd
than it is to go to a website
