Exactly, nothing particularly novel about the initiator.
The world and its dog knows that it is Be + Alpha emitter. In fact, the first time I read it was in high school.
Po is not the only option here. Ra will also work, so will a few others. In fact if anything makes me doubt this document is exactly this. The Hirosima and Nagasaki bombs were manufactured before the radioactive isotope industry came online. In those years everything was geared towards plutonium and U235. Very few resources were devoted to other stuff. So I would have expected to see Ra there, not Po because Ra was retrieved as a byproduct of the mining and did not require special manufacturing. IIRC the Kurchatov's first Russian bomb was with a Ra/Be initiator, not Po/Be.
A Reliant Robin is "fit for purpose", that doesn't mean it's any damn good !
If you want to drive a family on a motorway it is not. I would rather stick with my FRV for that. In a city it actually is a pretty good value for the money. Personally I would rather stick use my wife's Daihatsu instead of driving a Robin in a city, but after you have had to deal with a few bumps here and there a car made of fiberglass suddenly starts being very appealing (last generations of RRs are made of fiberglass by the way).
"Value for the money" is something of a misnomer for free software don't you think ?
Time is not free. In fact my time according to my company is hideously expensive. 20 years of doing everything in IT, software development and networks except transmission does that to ya:-)
Anyway, I'll stuck with my idiom, "you get what you pay for", thanks:-)
Yep. I agree with this. You get a free base, you apply time that costs money and you get what you pay for. The value of linux is that you can mash it, shape it and create out of it something that is very close to what you want with minimum capex. This is also its main failing. People assume that because getting 95% of the way is easy, it will be very easy for the remaining 5%. Usually it is not. Usually the 95% are more than enough though. Similarly, the assume that because there is no capex there is no opex either. That is not the case for most applications as well. Further to this opex for Linux follows a different curve compared to commercial systems. Most commercial systems come with management for large scale cases. Linux does not and that is one of the places where distros and vendors make their money. If you deal with 7-8 systems it does not really matter. If you deal with 8000 this makes a hell of a difference. Though once again, if you invest time initially you can get it to be as good as commercial offerings if not better. And so on.
Anyway, to summarise - if you use it for work and you are not into gaming it is pefectly fit for purpose for 90% of users.
Depends on your hard drive settings. While most laptops BIOS-es and OS-es in laptop mode enable APM and spindown, but they do not touch the acoustic management settings.
On some drives this makes a hell of a difference. For example my home server from sounding like a machine gun fight went to barely audible. OK, granted it also got much slower, but you can now work in its immediate vicinity. Before it was practically impossible. Too distracting. Similarly, the acoustic management settings made a considerable improvement on my company laptop and so on.
There are two simple reasons to use something "fitness for purpose" and "value for the money". If you are using it and you are happy with it, obviously it is fit for purpose. Once it is fit for purpose the fact that it costs only your time kicks in and it usually ends up being tremendous value for the money.
Aaa... Sky box...
That is the reason why I decode on a Linux with an Nvidia. I tried using a Phipips upscaling DVD and it ended up being an utter disappointment. CPU and GPU power is CPU and GPU power. Not all Silicon is created equal and this about says it all.
They do have a problem with beef - not enough land to grow it on. Create a beef animal that lives in the ocean and can be harvested 20 tonnes at a time, sounds like a solution.
There was one. In its infinite wisdom the humanity killed it. The Steller Sea Cow. Primary food - kelp. Yep, the one that grows all along the California, Alaskan, Russian and Japanese sea coast.
Anyway, I am not surprised that japanese science papers are useless. Anyone doing anything remotely scientific knows that. Their engineering is phenomenal, but their science is inept at best of times.
By the way, there is probably enough material in museums to try to clone the Steller Cow once we can do cloning better. Or at least try to clone some of the genes into a lamantine.
Frankly, as a result HD lost the war at least in Europe. Most HD-ready TVs around here are 1344x768. PAL is 576. If the scaler is good it looks good enough so why bother? US due to the NTSC measly vertical resolution is a different story, but US is not a sufficiently big market to drive the prices of HD kit down to the point where they are pallatable.
This is all besides the fact that the BR encryption is not properly broken yet. I can keep all of my DVDs on a small NAS in the loft and stream them to my TV(s). I cannot do that with BR and frankly, I am not tolerating 300+ disks worth of clutter in my living room ever again. No chance. So there is no way in hell for a format that I cannot rip to enter my house. In fact I got a PS3 as a freebee last summer and I donated it straight away to ensure that stuff does not get into the living room by the backdoor.
As a matter of fact, I did. It is strange how adult people completely lose their mind around the iPhone. It is just a phone after all. It is not the second coming.
I love the smell of MIPS early in the morning (most likely the non-patent-encumbered Chinese "Dragon" subvariety). Can't really see anything else being able to hit that price point.
yes, but bending, twisting and pulling to a programmed pattern is actually what requires expensive equipment. Ripping bolt heads of is quite easy by comparison.
That is just for torque. This does not say anything about resistance to material fatigue and so on.
Anyway, the only reason why Homeland Security is sh*** its pants on this is that the biggest spook sabotage achievement on USSR was apparently done this way when a gas pipeline blew up due to malfunctioning of counterfeit gear. However, we do not live in the 80-es. The computers and control gear has grown much more sophisticated and frankly, if anyone wants to plant such a bomb today they will do it in software. Much cheaper and much higher probability of success.
They are. Even a siamese is a great stress reducer. I wish I could convince my wife to agree to be staff to a new house owner but as a member of "The Dog's party" she refuses to concede on this one
This is an annual event. Same as CeBIT itself. It is not the fist time, it is not the last time. And frankly as far as some manufacturers are concerned infringing until you get nailed is the way to do business so I do not quite see what does this change. So I will disagree. There WILL be another IT fair in Germany and there will be another bust there.
One is the government one. It is the same as the taxation and national insurance database, not a separate "yet-another" database like the UK ID project. This is the basis for normal IDs, not the digital ID system.
The digital ID system is privately run by registrars which have won a tender process. Having correct PKI procedures including the human bit was AFAIK part of the tender. It relies on the same unique ID as the government one.
For more details you should really dig around the websites of Infonotary and other digital ID issuers. Based on first hand experience with the UK mess and the BG system I wish the UK had something even remotely approaching the stuff which BG has created.
There are of course reasons for all this. BG was forced to have a working ID system to be able to have visa waivers with Shengen states. UK chose to boycott Shengen instead. And so on. This actually goes way back to the days of the first mainframe clones done in BG.
The best description of UK as far as identity management is concerned is a hippopotamus. Huge mouth, wide open, claiming how good and advanced they are while the bottom is stuck in the thick river mud. When I first came to the UK my first ID was easier to fake than a school ID in Bulgaria. You could copy the stamps with boiled egg and it was not even printed on embossed paper. It was a simple book printed on normal paper which any Eastern European could have copied and faked in 5 minutes. While things have improved since then, not by far. There is a fantastic BBC documentary called "Me and my fake passports" where a russian journo hired by the beeb goes and obtains nearly 20 fake IDs and passports and enters the UK without problem on each of them every time.
US is not much better either and the reason for this is the "not invented here attitude" which assumes for some reason that all IT is done in anglosaxon countries. As far as identity management and use of databases in government the anglosaxon countries are 20 years behind continental Europe. Same as far as privacy and safeguards on data.
It is not the government running the digital key part of the register. There are 3-4 registrars who are authorised to issue it and their procedures are actually publically available and they are subject to regular 3rd party audit as part of their license. This includes the procedures for accessing and using the CA keys. The spec is also totally open. No government quango snake oil like the idiotic UK or US ID projects.
Further to this, most banks have mandated the use of the digital key for electronic banking now and have additional agreements with the registrars. Similarly, besides individual keys, there are also business ones so you can sign contracts with and between companies with them as well.
So the registrars have a very serious vested interest to keep the register in good shape and the CA keys secure. Definitely no government officials sleeping here. This is light years ahead of the target UK and US are putting themselves with their ID projects already. When you look at the UK ID and compare it to scandinavian and the BG one it is not even funny. It is actually sad - how much money will be wasted on a joke.
Bulgaria is the same YYMMDDXXXC (Year, Month, Day, Unique ID, Checksum. It doubles up as social security number and a tax reference. It is also the reference used for any unpaid fines, property transfer, contracts, etc. This has the strange side effect that you have to pay all of your parking tickets before selling a car or buying a house for example. Otherwise you cannot register the contract with the notary and the transaction is null and void.
It also now have a proper cryptographic ID format (non-mandatory and opt-in) and you can sign any document with a digital signature.
You can also get any of your ID documents reissued in any police station in 24h and for 3h in Sofia. Everything is in the database.
At the same time the level of privacy and the level of ID theft risk is way lower than in the US or UK. There are controls on who has access to the database and for what purposes. You do not have to send "sufficient identifying information" every few months just to get things done and digging through your rubbish does not yield sufficient identifying information to steal your identity.
Overall - it is a classic example that there is nothing wrong with a correctly implemented national ID system. It can actually improve your privacy instead of eating into it.
You are generalising too much. You are also sucking arguments out of very thin air and attributing me words which I have never said.
I have severe allergy to a specific type of first generation emigrant who will walk on dead bodies, rat, naso-anally interconnect, suck, fuck and do anything in his power to achieve his chosen goal - to join the promised land.
Which particular promised land does not really matter. I have seen that in the USA, I have seen that in the UK, I have seen that in many other places. Where is the arsehole from does not matter either. On that particular occasion it was an Indian. On other occasions I have seen African, Asian and even Europeans do it. Being an arsehole and climbing up the society ladder with your orifices wide open for "acceptance" is _definitely_ not confined to one specific region. It is a global treat. There are people who do it in any country.
Put yourself into a proto-American's place. Suppose that you get a B because you suck and you lose your scholarship or it is reduced. Most of them have no means to top up the scholarship and weather the storm so they have to go back which is a stain on the reputation of the family. They will have people talking to their parents "Your precious Shriram is so f*** daft that he got kicked out of University" (name is real by the way). This also stands in the way of their dream to become proto-Americans, get a green card, a passport and remain in the country.
So a eliminating anomalies in the curve by a complaint here or complain there is absolutely not beyond them. I am definitely not surprised if the person who ratted on this student had this in mind (somebody pointed the prof to the group in the first place). In fact I have seen it and been on the receiving side one time too many to the point where I simply said "F*** it, F*** you all, I am leaving".
You have to keep in mind that that if you post it you are also giving a chance to a social climber from cultures where such social climbing is cherished to report you. Though, based on personal experience they usually report the person who will help you.
I studied in a US university for 2 years. At the end of the second year we had to hand in coursework for a "philosophy of science" course. We were allowed and actively encouraged to discuss our findings. Which we did as a group - me and 3-4 US students. I organised the group and helped others with research on some of the topics like the Xenon paradoxes as they required math knowledge to understand and analyse properly. All of us had an A grade for the class and the coursework. I went home for the summer and was contacted near its end. Apparently two Indian students striving to become fledging proto-Americans got sub-A grades due to us blowing the curve. So to fix their grades they officially complained about me for copying from the American student coursework (in reality none of us copied anything, and it was me helping my mates, not vice versa).
At that point I decided that I have had enough of arseholes and social climbers and I decided to finish my education in Europe. Which I did and I never regretted the decision.
Frankly, I can understand this student. Been there, done that. Decided that the best idea is to tell the University to f*** off and go somewhere where writing defamatory letters onto other students is not a preferred means of academic and personal career advancement.
Not entirely unexpected from a stingy religious fanatic in charge. The secrets of Universe are in the Bible after all and no need to look for them elsewhere.
The previous taleban elder wriggled answering the question on Creationism in commons even more than questions on WMD and provided his best friend Mr Vardy with the unfettered ability to bastardise the curriculum and put Creation into it. This scoto-taleban is actually even worse. Not surprising considering his family background.
This all is besides us having to pay for the Northern Rock debacle where all the profitable mortgages got moved to a tax heaven in advance and the taxpayer will effectively be paying for mortgages that were given to people who cannot really afford them. So the next step will be the government as the mortgage owner repossessing houses. Actually this is quite a neat way to reverse Thatcher's nationalisation of council housing. Applause. I would not have thought of it and it definitely takes some cajoles to carry that out. Cajoles and the ability to lie constantly without even blinking.
Anyway, now it has been done the money has to be found somewhere and a blasphemous project is quite clearly an obvious choice.
One note in Wikipedia's article on Cuba''s economy mentions that the increase in tourism dollars has the effect of widening the gap between poverty and prosperous. Possibly the Castro's believe that if that gap grows through significantly expanded tourism that it would become unmanageable. But Im slipping way into conjecture here.:-)
You are not. But you should ask yourself the question of how exactly could have Castro keep control if the embargo was over. After all, tourism would have brought the current "growing gap" to the size of an abyss in less than a year.

From the FBI - none. From the investigated - lots.
Other quesions? If not, move along, Lavrenij Pavlovich does not like people looking into his practices.

A better description will be:

3. Shoot

5. Profit
Though I clearly do not see how to get from 3 to 5... Probably lack of Imagination 2.0.
