Son: "Damn!" Mother: "I don't want to hear you say that word again." Son: "Awww." Son: "Hey, mom, what was it that they used to make that lake, again?" Mother: "Oh, that's a da... fuck." Son: "Am I allowed to say that?" Mother: "You may use the word dam in the right context, but you can't say damn, and you certainly can't say that other word?" Son: "Which other word?"
Germany was founded in 1871, I believe. They promptly declared war on France. France and Germany of course were on opposites sides in both World Wars.
Now France and Germany form the core of the EU. They seem to be 2 of the countries most committed to the EU.
If they want so badly to unify, other countries that have had various disputes in their history should follow France and Germany's lead, and likewise work together.
The SUNY and UC systems charge more than that. They were both charging over $2000/semester before the absolute massive increases they just put through. BTW, you need to count fees when you count tuition.
My experience with finicial aid as an undergrad was that it was never close to the amount of money needed for room, board, books, tuition, and fees, despite the fact that I went to a public university. This was even counting the fact that I was getting $5500 in loans a year. In any case, I'm massively in debt. There isn't shit in terms of merit based aid any more.
I think the population of metro areas is more relevant. The NY metro area has something like 25 million people. Sometimes the central city is only a small fraction of the total population. I believe the SF bay area has 7.5 million people, but SF has something around 700,000. San Jose actually has slightly more people, but it would be really silly to call it the central city.
You have 1/8th genetic similiarity with your 1st cousin. That's usually frowned upon in western countries. However, in some third world countries, screwing your cousin can be socially acceptable.
In 300 years there will jobs listing qualifications as 310+ years of Java programming. The HR people will always be stupid and unreasonable.
True story: 5 years ago I saw a position that wanted 5+ years of Java programming. Not sure whether they were just stupid, or whether it was some sort of plot where "We couldn't find any qualified Americans, we need some H-1B workers."
It's definitely more true in math then Physics. It was a big deal that Wiles was the ripe old age of.... 30 when he proved Fermat's last theorem. In order to get a Fields Medal (more prestigious than a Nobel prize), you have to be less than some age, 34, I think.
You ever seen the buses in Berkeley? They're always half an hour late and try to run over bicyclists. BART is ok, but doesn't get you to the supermarket or whatever.
And you live in Florida, you can never vote again. On the other hand, Ken Lay is a free man. Isn't the American justice system great?

Liberals have varying beliefs. We are not united with one belief set the way Rush Limbaugh unites the conservative. However, I can tell you that most liberals I know are not politically correct, and realize that racism can apply to any race, including whites, and sexism can apply to men. As for free speech, the leader of the ACLU, a Holocaust surviver, once argued for the right of the American Nazi party to have a demonstration. Yes, you read that right.
The problem is, if I steal Bob's qubits, and throw him into solitary confinement in some military base in Cuba for being an "enemy combatant", that I can then pretend to be Bob to Alice, unless Alice and Bob had a weird protocal that they had agreed to use, and Bob wouldn't say what it was after being torture.. I mean given a nice friendly conversation.
If there are several photons in the same arbitrary state, you can by measuring the qubits in different basis each time, come up with an approximation to the actual quantum state. If there are a 1000 of these photons, then basically we aren't gaining anything by having our information in Quantum form. So you want to avoid sending many duplicate photons for many of the states that you are sending.
You check certain random qubits for tampering. There may be random errors in tramsmisson, so you're ok if the number of qubits that had changed is low. The hacker (generally called "Eve") needs to read a fairly high amout of the qubits to be able to decrypt the message. If enough qubits are different, you assume that someone is evesdropping, and try sending the key again later.
A quantum state on a single qubit looks like this:
a|0> + b|1>,
where |0> and |1> are vectors, and a and b are complex numbers, and the total vector has a magnitude of 1. When we measure the state, it collapses into the |0> vector with probability |a|^2 and into the |1> vector with probability |b|^2. And of course |a|^2 + |b|^2 = 1.
So the hacker won't know what the arbitrary quantum state was. Observing the photon destroys the original state.
You're looking at the problem the wrong way. Picture yourself as a large media corporation that just burned up some serious money lobbying the FCC, and needs some cash in order to buy all the independant media in your town. This is a very good thing for said large media corporation.

How "Orwellian" of them to remove the words they didn' t like.

After the Civil War, Texas had to be re-admitted to the United States , and I don't think those provisions were included then.
What's the average GPA at Harvard now? A 3.9? Public universities tend to have much less grade inflation.

Now that the whole county has the economy going to shit, upstate NY is no longer dead last in job growth. That's another plus.
And besides they're saying this is the biggest blackout ever (not sure if that's true).
If that's the reason we're recalling Davis, then why aren't we recalling Bush?

Where in upstate NY? In Ithaca everyone says SODA and not POP.
All $-14k of it. They have to assume all my college debts, right?

It has been proven that Quantum Cryptology is secure provided that someone doesn't steal your qubits and the axioms of Quantum Mechanics hold.

a|0> + b|1>,
