The government has to take on the job of teaching children. Children need discipline. Give a kid a good library and a net connection, and he'll at best read slashdot. AIM and chat rooms will take up the rest of his or her time.
Anyway, education is too important to privatize. The government should give this opportunity to propagandize to the next generation away. We are not (yet) at a church-state, but if we let Catholic schools take all the children then where will our scientists come from? Not here.
Sure, a gram is defined by a volume of water at a certain pressure and temperature. However, this is impracticable in many settings. Water changes density very readily. It is much simpler to define a gram in other terms that is close enough to the 1.0 g/1.0 ml H20 yet still is stable enough to use in experiments. From the article:
For instance, it would improve the precision of certain electrical measurements 50-fold and would enable physicists to make more precise calculations in studying the fundamental quantum properties of atoms and other basic particles. The paper outlines how this could be accomplished without impairing the current international system of mass measurements.
As far as the explanations I've heard, I say BOFA are full of shit. This wasn't a ramp worker nabbing a case of backup tapes - he'd never have gotten off the ramp. This is negligence one way or another.
Yes. But was it the negligence of the ramp-worker and/or the security guards instead of the Bank of America?
The lesson is think before you write. Make sure you are answering the right *problem* before you think about writing down the right *solution*.
I once had a calculus final with a fourth of the points assigned to calculating the volume of a figure standing along the y-axis. The question would have required multiple integrations. However, I flipped the figure onto its side along the x-axis. The problem devolved into a solid of rotation, which was a single integration.

There may be something wrong with your setup. When you uninstall Firefox, you have to delete all the stuff in your Profiles folder. I am running Windows XP SP2 with six tabs, one of which is this website, and there's only 28,288K of memory usage.
Delete all the stuff in your \Mozilla\Firefox folder when you uninstall Firefox when installing a newer version. There may be extensions getting in the way of your setup.
What an interesting way to check the slashdot effect. I wonder how many of those increases are due to people reading the article (which is doubtful since it is slashdotted) and how many are clicking through based on the parent comment.
Just think about it. It is getting three clicks a second from a comment. Boy, I don't want to get slashdotted.
There is an old legal aphorism that winning a lawsuit is one of the worse ways to go bankrupt. Even if the case gets dismissed on summary judgment, you have already wasted a lot of time on discovery and pre-trial motions. Think of SCO. And then there are appeals to follow. MS has deep pockets to fund Stupid Lawsuits (TM). Look at SCO. All MSFT has to do is to scare people in corporate settings away from Linux, Mono, or whatever open source program they have declared jihad against.
The concept is limited only to real property because in that case the reliance interest of the leecher (or squatter) is directly noticeable to the owner. If the adverse possession is slight or unnoticeable (like an underground cave) then there is no adverse possession unless there was knowledge over the requisite years. The owner of the broadband may not know people are leeching off of him.
I've set my software firewall to reject everything from fastclick.net and doubleclick.net and such sites. So I do not get popups--yet. I wonder how long it would take before they use random domain names, since they could certainly afford it. Sigh.
Car dealerships *love* interest. Last year, Ford made $850 million in profits on car sales. They made $2.9 billion dollars in net income on car loans and mortgages. Ford dealerships probably get a kickback for each loan they secure.
Like Chad Pennington playing football for the NY Jets. Once, he was about to get sacked on his blind side by a linebacker who broke through blocking. Pennington instinctively scrambled out and rushed for a touchdown without ever seeing the pass-rusher. When asked about the play, he said that he had a feeling that he had to get out of there. What really happened, probably, was that he saw too few men on the field in front of his and knew there had to be someone behind him. However, this realization was on some subconscious level and that's probably what this article is talking about.
The HTML protocol allows for only 8 pipelined request at the same time. The server may actually toss out everything past eight requests. Windows XP also limits outbound connections, I believe, in order to limit the flow of viruses and trojans. Therefore, setting pipelining to 30 is not a good idea, but it may not be doing anything at all.
Well, the "greatest security improvement Microsoft could perform" probably would be permissions for user-accounts less than Administrators. Windows XP is useless without Administrator access. Therefore, a regular user who gets a virus can wipe out the system files. Imagine if there was a user account by default, and MS made its "Windows" mark available only for software that worked without Administrator access. Installation, of course, would still have to be done as Administrator, but you can do that by having a "Run as Administrator" command that actually works.
Cars already have "black boxes" installed in them. Prosecutors have used that data to prosecute bad drivers. The question with government regulation is how much we *truly* believe in freedom. People do not want to wear safety belts, but get fined if they do not. They complain about government regulation. But right now, the government bars insurances companies from not covering those whose injuries are caused by not wearing a safety belt. If insurance companies (and definitely not the government) did not pay for the medical treatment of those not wearing safety belts, then we'd truly be without government regulation. But then many of the people who don't wear safety belts may change their tunes.

If you hadn't invaded Iraq AND Afghanistan, an invasion of North Korea was plausible rather than a bluff. Invading Afghanistan was enough to show that we were nuts enough to run off and invade a country that posed a risk to us.
North Korea took really aggressive steps in the past, like kicking the nuclear watchdogs out. Bush did not take the steps differently. Pre-emptive strikes on a country with nukes? Wouldn't that have made sense over one that did not?
There are nine comments and the website is down already. So let's forget about RTFA. Instead, let's come up with our OWN ways to kill computers. Come on. We are slashdotters. We can come up with many ways to kill our systems (some of them may actually be common!)
Dropping my computer and then plugging it in killed my system. Heatsinks fall off at 10G of force.
Also, the power supply fan failing sucks, too. Once that sucker dies, the PS gets hot and dies, too.
Well, you do not know if there's life unless and until you do research. What if you jump the gun and change Mars before you complete all research?
Furthermore, there is research that could reveal the genesis of our solar system, planet, or universe up there on Mars. We should preserve it until we are sure that we need the planet populated or that we have exhausted all scientific exploration of Mars.
The more features you add, the more vulnerabilities. That's why webservers do not run extra services. Mozilla people spend a lot on web products, and probably are egomaniacal about "Linux and Firefox is secure" and get tricked.
I know this is open source, but isn't forking the bittorrent itself bad? There would be less seeds and peers for each set of files, as there are five CDs/torrents.

Earth might have seeded Mars. Think about it. There are chunks of Mars on Earth.

After seeing my mother die from cancer I would give anything to make sure no one else would ever have to go through what me and my sister did.
And what your mother went through?

Can someone set up a torrent at www.mininova.org? It is an open-tracker and well-populated.
Someone should have done this before we slashdotted their server.
So North Korea will not be entering negotiations. Right. That *isn't* and bargaining tool, people. Stop trying to negotiate with them.
