Just because oil is a cheap source of polymers doesn't make it the only source of polymer. I'm afraid you're a bit deluded if you think it's impossible to create plastics and rubber without oil.
Anyone contributing something to wikipedia is bound to get disrespected by the moderators with obvious personal causes.
Being overwhelmed by reverts by random internet zealot while having a degree in the field you are trying to work in can be infuriating and pretty hard to live with.
Yes, because that's how it works. When you "hack" someone it's a fight between the pure intellectual, the one who concentrates the hardest manages to infest the other persons computer through use of pixies and fairy dust.
The moment anonymous attacks slashdot will gain the great super brain power of all it's members and lash out and counterstrike against a distributed network of millions of individual nodes.
It's not like slashdot is a message board riddled with bugs. Hell even if the backend has ten times less bugs it would still be a bug-riddled nightmare.
Let's face it, even if anonymous had the ability to ddos slashdot it would be incredibly boring and nobody would participate.
Iran should have had its own networks, own software, own sealed production lines.
No country does that, pretty much all countries do what Iran does for turbine production ie. buy them from Siemens, develop using windows workstations (because Siemens development environment is windows based).
It's not an ad hominem, he called your definition loony, not you.
I, on the other hand, am not afraid of calling you a loon, you're saying that because ipv6 solves an annoying routing problem (same host might not have the same ip from time to time) that it introduces a privacy problem (everyone might know who I am if I don't conceal it) and then immediately dismiss concealing it as an option.
Since it's already been deployed in Europe with great success (although the silence when you stand still at a red light is ominous) Mythbusters seems redundant.
mass of athmosphere = 5*10^18 kg
Nitrogen in atmosphere = 80% by volume
Oxygen in atmosphere = 20% by volume
Atomic mass of N2 = 28 u
Atomic mass of O2 = 36 u
mass of Nitrogen in atmosphere = (28*4)/(28*4+36)*5*10^18 = 3.8*10^18 kg
Earth mass = 6*10^24 kg
Amount of Earth mass that is Nitrogen in atmosphere = 3.8*10^18/(6*10^24) = 0.6 ppm
That means anything that is more common than 0.6 ppm of the earth would be more common than the nitrogen (in the atmosphere at least, I have no idea how common nitrogen is in the earth).
Yes all phones lose signal strength when you cover the antenna, not all phones allow the antenna to be bridged with another antenna rendering it into a pretty crappy antenna.
That's what the whole iphone antenna issue was about. Not signal attenuation do through holding it.
You are misstaken, notable predictions have predicted the following:
May 21, 2007: ARIN predicts sometime in 2010
June 20, 2007: LACNIC sets final date to januari 1, 2011
June 26, 2007: APNIC sets the date to sometime in 2010
April 15, 2009: ARIN says sometime before 2011
So for the last 3-4 years there has been a fairly good estimate on when they are supposed to run out.
well yes, the difference between 1 and 0.999... which would be 0 does indeed not make any difference if you remove it again. You however do not grasp that we are not saying that 0.999... is aproximately equal to 1. It is in fact equal to 1.
No, the TV-detector vans are a scare tactic. The noise being produced by your neighbors dwarf anything coming from your own home.
However the principle by which they are working is very real. And in North Korea, there is (supposed to be) silence on all frequencies except the government approved ones, therefore any activity there whatsoever would be a lot easier to pickup.
To render the image the bitmap needs to be uncompressed in memory anyway. Seeing as that the raw data dwarfs the size of the compressed image I don't see any way memory might affect this.
The summary is wrong, the project is not first, so 2027 is not even that far away:P.
In Sweden the project is apparently already in its late stages, while this will probably not be done in another 10-20 years.
Ah a challenge, for this we need the average word length in a standard English text, a = 5.1 character/word;
The speed record in morse code copying, b = 75.2 words/minute ~= 1.2533 words/second;
Average weighted character morse code length (weigthed by relative frequency of the character): c = 2.54167 bits/character
Which gives a speed of a*b*c ~= 16 bit/s.
56k/Morse ~= 3500
Now the problem is you didn't give any baseline to compare the T3 to but assuming you were talking about the comparisson T3 to 56k.
T3 = 44.736 Mbit/s
56k = 56 kbit/s
T3/56k ~= 800
That's really not that far of actually... Just roughly a factor 4, good guess:P. All of these numbers were pulled of wikipedia (or calculated with wikipedia numbers).
The answer is simple, the neck didn't just pop into existence nor did the heart of that magnitude.
Clearly as the proto-giraffes got longer necks the optimal heart size increased. Proto-giraffe A with a slightly longer neck and no increased heart strength was slightly better than Proto-giraffe B with no longer neck and no increased heart strength. Proto-giraffe C however, a descendent of A had a slightly increased heart strength and since the longer neck had moved the optimal heart strength size Proto-giraffe C became the most successful, repeat a couple of thousand iterations and you would have giraffes.
A little bit later random slashdotter ArcherB comes by and says: "Hey the giraffe couldn't have first evolved longer necks and later larger hearts because that would be bad so would larger hearts and then longer necks, ipso facto god^h^h^h an intelligent designer did it!".
Because when Alice measures it it sure does cause the other photons superposition to collapse however she cannot collapse it into any state it collapses into a random state.
Think of it like this, both Alice and Bob has a quarter each hidden underneath a cup, the quarter could be in any state (heads or tails). Say that when Alice opens her cup, the quarter was heads this will make the quarter underneath Bobs cup show tails. Still when Bob opens his cup a while later no information has passed, there is simply a quarter showing tails.
Slashdot Mirror
You're not naive, you're wrong.
I know this is slashdot but if you read the fine article...
Or more likely just making shit up on the internet. Oh btw, I'm 195 cm and bench 250 kg so if you disagree with me you're getting your ass kicked.

Well we've been using it for a while in Sweden and it's pretty cold up here. No problems so far.
According to TFA, just Linux.
mass of athmosphere = 5*10^18 kg Nitrogen in atmosphere = 80% by volume
Oxygen in atmosphere = 20% by volume
Atomic mass of N2 = 28 u
Atomic mass of O2 = 36 u

If you picked the correct door (1% chance) then the other door will be incorrect.
If you picked the incorrect door (99% chance) then the other door will be correct.
Thusly there is a 99% chance that the other door is the correct choice,

The european parliament, the council, some other organisations or perhaps a country from Europe?
The article is a little bit light on detail.
