It might be a DMCA violation. Otherwise legal actions that involve circumventing copy protection have the nasty habit of becoming illegal under that awful law.
The point would be that anyone who isn't playing the game this way would be playing the game according to a strategy for some fixed kappa. Then you beat them automatically. I'm not sure such a well-ordering of strategies exist. Ostensibly, this is probably what the mathematicians are being recruited to determine.
3 billion * 99.999% = 30. That's not "really awful." That's pretty darn good! If you need better results, sequence the same DNA 3 times in an hour and a half to get upwards of ten 9's accuracy (assuming the errors are uncorrelated, of course).
This exchange is truly pathetic. First, we have someone claiming that a capacitor, a purely electrostatic phenomenon, is a magnetic phenomenon. The next poster retorts that kWh, a measure of energy, is a measure of electric charge. That's it, turn in your geek cards. Back to Griffith's Introduction to Electrodynamics for both of you.
When (or if) the FSF wins this suit, it will almost certainly be a boon for custom firmware development for these devices. Like the WRT5GL, I'd expect the new router firmwares to make the router much more useful.
How should I proceed? Should I buy these (forcibly) open-sourced devices? Or should I avoid Linksys because of their repeated violations of the GPL?
The crushing force of a black hole is caused by its density
The gravitational force (the important force you feel from a black hole) is proportional to its mass. Newton's universal law of gravitation.
The fact that its a black hole doesn't magically give it a strong attractive force (nor does high mass density). Rather, it creates an event horizon from which (kind of) nothing can return, the Shwarzschild Radius. The fact of the matter is, these tiny black holes are too light to attract any particles on their own, and too small to accidentally gobble up things they run into at any appreciable rate. Also, we get higher energy events routinely, so empyrically, we know we are safe (which is a far better argument than all of this theory).
So flinging around 40 or so protons in a 27km diameter tunnel is not going to destroy our solar system (or reshape the galaxy).
This is irrelevant. We care if it reshapes Earth, not the solar system or galaxy.
Let me kindly disagree with a recommendation of Jackson for this purpose. Its role is to teach more advanced mathematical methods to someone already endowed with a good physical intuition.
Also, it builds these tools in a way that would be distasteful to most mathematicians.
Then turn it off. If you don't want search results, set "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" to zero in about:config. If you want the old appearance try oldbar. I actually found that Firefox 3 was a tiny bit faster than 2, so I'm happy.
IANAA (admin), but I do use Debian; and I have upgraded from stable to testing to unstable. I have gotten myself (into and) out of hard places by using aptitude. It is your friend: you can see EXACTLY what is going to happen, change preferences to prevent disaster, etc.
I found that unsetting "Automatically fix broken packages before installing or removing" let me determine my own resolution to conflicts, instead of relying on apt-logic (which usually doesn't do what I want).
If you want to get your hands dirty, this would be my approach. OTOH, if you don't want to learn a bit about the package dependency heirarchy of Debian, this probably isn't for you.
What exactly is the scheme you are envisioning? If the bus system is not reporting usage information, the value can be read off the card, and the value on the card can be changed, I see an unpatchable security hole.
Purchase a single card, with 10$ on it. Record the stored value, use the card, and then restore the old value. Viola. Broken card.
However, if the card could be made to increment a counter every time it was adjusted (in such a way that could not be undone) and each card had an immutable card ID, there would seem to be an effective solution: store the value on the card, and a hash of the value, a common secret, the counter, and the immutable ID. If there isn't a hash collision, you'd have a safe system.
Such a counter could be produced by a unerasable section of the card (akin to punching holes in a sheet of paper). To be useful, though, the card would have to allow many such "holes" to be punched. I know nothing about card technology; is there such a method? How is that effected?
The experiment you suggested has nothing to do with observing state superposition. You have not observed any kind of superposition. You are just interpreting the result of an experiment using assertion as proof.
Sounds like you are guilty of the last sentence as well.
I don't remember ever saying that I rejected quantum physics.
What do you believe then? Superposition of wave functions is implicit in Schroedinger's equation. In fact, it's implicit in any differential equation of a wave function (if this is not obvious, I will gladly explain in a later post). What exactly is your version of "Quantum physics" that doesn't allow for superposition?
Furthermore, don't try the "more than one _ at the same time" trick with me: it won't work. Quantum mechanics does NOT advocate that any object is ever in two states at the same time; it suggests that it is in some other "state" which is not logically "compatible" with your other notions of "state." Try reading Robert Griffiths' "Consistent Quantum Theory." You will agree with him on philosophical issues (he's also Christian).
They don't put food on my table or a roof over my head.
Really? I take it you don't use the internet or a computer then? Fail.
Wisdom is 90% guts and 10% sweat.
I just do not see this: considering the amount of guts you've got, where is the COSA toolchain? The COSA OS, with the COSA web-browser, with the COSA frigging interactive editor? Why should I believe anything you say? You HAVE DONE NOTHING.
You are a prime example of what I mean by an ass kisser.
Who's ass am I kissing? Turing? Hawking? Zeno? Have you heard of proof by intimidation? It is not effective. I mean, there are discrete topologies with "infinite divisibility" which are (consequentially) non-continuous, take
{2^{-n}|n\in N}
Where the frig is the contradiction?! I WANT TO SEE; PLEASE SHOW ME!
PS. Why be a gutless coward? Sign your work if you stand by it.
I am not here to make an enemy or collect blood-karma from you. I am here to make a point. I am here because I see fallow potential in you.
You are either inarticulate or a troll. The telco cannot/will not provide service to the town, because the price they would have to charge to make a profit would be unacceptable. Best stated from the quote from the lawyer representing TDS; FTFA:
"The city is construing [sic] public convenience so broadly it would allow the city of Monticello to go into competition with any business in the city if it didn't like the prices or services, and they could do it with tax-free financing with no need to make a profit."
Remember, the free market is good because it serves the needs of the people not because it serves the needs of the free market. If communism happened to maintain a better standard of living, it would be a better system. The fact is: it generally does not. However, when it does (e.g., sewer, water, electricity), it should. If the profit motive gets in the way of the service, then market has failed.
I expect you to respond with doomsday warnings about this destroying the rest of the internet... but you're going to have to explain why for anyone to understand you.

It's actually about 10^13 orders of magnitude less significant than the 200th.
Apparently your touch screen made it a little difficult to type as well.

My understanding of the immune system is that class I MHC molecules present certain antigens produced inside host cells ("self").
So yes, MHC is exactly this system you conjecture!

You'll have to settle for dead::beef, sorry.
This is modded funny, but it is the obvious next step in this ridiculous arms race.
Its ridiculous because both sides are trying to solve a social (economic) problem with a technical measure.

Bad form to reply to my own post, I know. Oldbar is kind of out of date. Old location bar may be a better bet.
Also, more info here. With instructions.
Then turn it off. If you don't want search results, set "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" to zero in about:config. If you want the old appearance try oldbar. I actually found that Firefox 3 was a tiny bit faster than 2, so I'm happy.
For more information look here and here.
Ah! Do knots besides the unknot exist (or, depending on how you define "knot", does a knot exist)? Then the answer is in the affirmative.
Particularly, trefoil knot isn't equivalent to the unknot. This is a fairly sophisticated question, thought the answer seems obvious.
I'm pretty sure you meant:
1) Sell games
2) PROFIT?????
3) Ban players
4) GOTO 1
Produce real results and watch the money flow.
Because the article is at a UK news site.
