Next we can tell all of the diabetics that insulin is just a crutch for the weak. They should just get up off their lazy butts and deal with their problems.
I believe negative feedback is also used to reduce the effects of manufacturing variations of transistor beta (gain) on the performance of the amplifier circuit. A handful of transistors, even with the same part number and manufacturer, can exhibit wide variations in beta from part to part.
I think they are talking about mainframes that run Linux as a guest operating system on a virtual machine. The real operating system is VM. VM allows you to create a large number of virtual machines, each of which can run Linux or another operating system.

Weapons and war are not the answer, dialogue is the only way to peace. Or do we really believe that you can only bring reconciliation by pointing guns at people. Mr Bush and his cronies certainly seem to think so....
History doesn't agree with you. It took violence on a truly massive scale to destroy Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
Dialog may work when dealing with reasonable people, but many people only respect the threat of armed response by superior military forces.
Someone once told me why Japan has such a cohesive society. For many centuries, they chopped off the heads of all of the people who didn't get with the program. It worked.
The Soviets have already deployed offensive weapons in space. A large calibre cannon was included on the Salyut-3 space station. In tests, it is reported to have destroyed a target satellite during testing.
I thought that the main risk during power brown-outs was damage to AC motors from overheating. At least that's what they have mentioned on local radio stations when we've had power shortages.
Even if all of the Soviet reactors reentered the atmosphere tomorrow, it would be insignificant compared to the many tons of radioactive material that was released into the atmosphere by above-ground testing of nuclear weapons.
Much of the increase in cable rates can be attributed to sports programming. The players certainly aren't improving at 3x the rate of inflation. Sports are a huge sinkhole for money. The players and owners want more money every year, with no limit in sight.
It may have been someone who recently moved to the area and didn't know about the tornado warning system. I'm old enough that when I hear a test of civil defense sirens, the first thing that comes to mind is "Oh shit. We're going to be nuked by the Russians."
While they may have consented, did they really have a choice about the matter? They have to be in school. They may not be able to pass their classes without the use of the computer.
As adults, they may be presented with similar policies. Only this time, they have the "choice" of consenting or losing their job.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread.
The channel assignment rules are different for ATSC. While each station still gets 6 MHz for their channel, the active channels can be packed more tightly together than with NTSC. Much of the wasted spectrum with NTSC is due to the channel assignment rules that prevent interference between stations.
Comcast, and other major cable providers, plan to move all channels to digital cable. It's just a question of timing. Analog cable is going to disappear. The last I heard, they are waiting for the price of digital cable boxes to decline to the point where they can afford to give them to all of their analog customers.
If the job situation continues to deteriorate, the effects can be more than just getting rid of the dead wood. The field of Aerospace Engineering was nearly destroyed by the massive cutbacks in military and NASA spending during the 1970s. Everyone read stories in the newspaper about highly-skilled engineers driving cabs and losing their houses. The follow-on effects wiped out many academic programs. Most of the best students went to other fields where the job prospects were not so dismal. NASA now has a severe demographic problem with its workforce. Many of its best people have died or retired, or will do so in the near future.
Alkaline batteries don't have the self-discharge problems of rechargeable batteries. You can buy alkaline batteries in a shop. You can't buy pre-charged rechargeable batteries. Alkaline batteries do not require chargers and complicated charge control circuits.
They may be old, but they kick the ass of any modern general purpose computer for the job they do. They support a multi-processor hard real-time system with fault tolerance, deterministic timing and massive I/O capabilities.
Why does the Shuttle have such a terrible safety record relative to other rockets that attain orbit?
It doesn't. I've seen plenty of failures with Atlas/Centaur, Delta, Titan and other launch vehicles. A success rate better than 90% is considered good for most rockets.
AT&T may have been "mugged by Wall Street", but in other cases, like General Electric, the reason is pure and simple greed. Corporate leaders like Jack "Neutron Jack" Welch, who were so fixated on the stock price and the bottom line, that they gutted anything that didn't produce immediate results.
The problem is that many corporations and brands are multinational. A corporation may be legally registered and operating in dozens of countries, not to mention many more countries where their products are sold. The company's headquarters may be in the United States, but the majority of its employees and facilities may be overseas.
Code running with Administrator privileges is assumed to be trustworthy and know what it is doing. The problem is that there is way too much code running as Administrator.
Nuclear weapons are overrated. Read a book on the actual effects of nuclear weapons. You can be surprisingly close to the detonation of a nuclear weapon, say in a slit trench, and survive without any ill effects.

If your privacy is that critical, hire a lawyer to act as your agent.
And you think things would have been any different if you had a "normal" name? Kids don't need an excuse to be cruel to other kids.
The United States also designed, manufactured and deployed nuclear landmines during the Cold War. See here for some pictures.

Who is going to pay for it? People say they want redundancy and reliability, but when it comes to making a decision, they go for cheap every time.

Could you translate that into English?
