I switched from Comcast to Verizon DSL two years ago. The DSL is plenty good for Netflix/Gaming, and is actually a much more constant bandwidth than the cable internet I had (because I'm near a big college campus cable is oversaturated by the age group that uses the most bandwidth).
Frontier now owns the operations in the midwest and they are a pleasure to work with, as opposed to Comcast and Verizon.
For measuring the strength of materials, the stress strain curve shows the amount of stress as a function of strain. Essentially, it shows how much force per cross sectional area (pressure) the material can handle as it stretches. This isn't quite as simple as it sounds because the cross sectional area decreases as a function of strain too. This is known as Poisson's ratio.
Here is the wikipedia
He might be right if he is thinking that if he hits the green light just as it has turned he already has speed, he will blow by anyone accelerating from zero, and he might just make the next green while they won't.
The greenest solution would be to make the heat useful. Air cooled server rooms often self heat portions of their buildings, and reduce heating costs in the winter.
An oil cooled system could transfer heat to the hot water in your building via a heat exchanger and lower your gas/electric costs. And this would be a much more efficient process than using your computers to keep your building warm...
I'd like to know the answer to this also. There are harddrives designed for high altitude/low pressure that are apparently completely sealed, but they are of course going to be more expensive.
You are absolutely right and this is a somewhat normal cause of failure for harddrives. If you use your laptop on a plane and the cabin pressure drops sufficiently, or perhaps you are in Colorado- the read/write head can crash into the platter due to the lack of dense air to ride upon.
How about the plain weird moment of inertia when it isn't powered up. Any IT person should hopefully notice the difference between a fairly uniformly distributed mass and two nuts.
Machine error is still human error. The difference is normally the one who makes the error takes their own life. In this case it is someone else's "error".
Interestingly, according to that article, the fourth domain of DNA consists of a group of viruses. So I guess this is getting close to that gray area of "What constitutes life".

Maybe because I'm on campus I don't have this problem- It lets me access the entire publication.

And the actual published journal if anyone wants it
Here is the stress strain graph.
Right, that's why they gained so much market with DRMless mp3s... They are sooo controlling..

So we are choosing to be more efficient than fast?
I used to speed a lot as a teenager- guess what? Now, I like to take my time, enjoy the travel, and save money on gas.

It makes no more sense to me to use prime numbers as opposed to pi or anything else that will give you irrational numbers.
Because people do still build their own computers.
A lot of emulators avoid doing anything illegal, or ToS violations by having the user provide their own bios image. Is this not the case?

iPhoto will aggregate geodata and show where all your pictures were taken on a nice map in one batch process.
Aren't most retirement plans still based on investments?
They lend their branding to laptops too!
I thought what the parent was implying was that the Kinect would model our bodies which would be used on our avatars.
Interestingly, according to that article, the fourth domain of DNA consists of a group of viruses. So I guess this is getting close to that gray area of "What constitutes life".
Yeah, and what percentage of users actually want their avatar to be physically accurate to themselves?
I'm not sure I want my tools to respond differently to me depending on what mood I'm in.
So how many robots does it take to provide enough work for one robot repairman? It certainly is not a 1:1 ratio.
It wasn't built for that. Among other things- it leaks atmosphere.
They aren't quite as bad as NIN numbers.
