Also course once there is some space-based
infrastructure that can be produce fuel, and
refuel the rocket in space. The
powered landing option becomes ideal.
"And the collisions are not totally random, but I'd hate to do the math on that"
The worsed case would be if the sun passed through the center of the Andromeda galaxy, stars
are much closer together there, there is a hell
of a lot of ionising radiation there, and a nasty
1 billion solar mass black hole (Galaxy formulation theories suggest that about 1% of a
galaxies mass in the central black hole.)
Even if the Sun and Earth missed any of the
objects in the Galatic core, the Earth might still
be cooked and the stripped from the suns orbit.
>Where is France, Germnany, or England when it >comes to putting their money where the mouths >are?
Don't know about Germany, but England has been
inside the Kyoto C02 limits for years, thanks to
converting much of there old coal fire power stations to natural gas. We're also investing
heavily in Hydroelectric, Wind and Tidal power
research projects. In additional nuclear power
seem to be slowly get back in vogue.
France has always been one of the most nuclear
powered nations on earth, and creates much
less C02 than most other nations of there economic size. France has always taken the
stragratic view that they don't want to be
over dependent on Fossil fuels becuase they have
none of there own.
Thats true for floating ice, like in the much of Artic.
But when Ice on land, melts it runs into the
ocean and raises sea levels. They is an
enormous ammount of ice covering the Antiartic
and if it all melts the sea levels would raise
by something huge (50 meters maybe, I forget).
"We therefore advocate an ongoing process of risk assessment and penetration testing leading to a consultants report."
Our firm did that with Baltmore, a little under 10,000 squidlets, for running cybercop and
placing the output in a nice binder. We were
not happy. They didn't even stop our NT servers
(abmoniations that thankfully I don't have
responciblity for) were reverable to the Unicode
bug.
Hopefully other security consultants are less
of a rip off.
Oscillation is not decay, decay is one way process
where one particles changes into two or more
other (less massive) particles, oscillation is
a reversible process were a beam of particles
transforms back and forth from one type to another.
More technically the oscillations is caused because the faviour eigenstates of neutrinos
as not the mass eigenstates.
I'll decode the
technical jargon for you there. When neutrinos
are create or destroyed (by the weak interaction)
a neutrinos is formed/destroyed as one of three
flavours: electron, muon or tau, (named because of the particle it must be created/destroyed with). However when a neutrino travels it does
so as one of three types (call them A, B and C)
which each has a different mass, these are
the mass eigenstates (Eigen is german for same).
The strange thing is that A, B and C are actually each mixtures of E, mu and tau neutrinos. and because different massed particles (given a fixed
ammount of momentum and energy) will travel a
slightly different distance in a given time: if
you look at a beam of neutrino that started out
as one particular flavour, at each distance in
the beam you'll see a different mixture of the different flavours.
All of this is very strange, and probably wouldn't
have been believed if neutral K mesons hadn't been
observed in great detail doing the same thing.
Physists write the numbers that describe how much of each mass eigenstate (i.e. the A, Bs and C), make up each flavour of neutrino as a 3 by 3
matrix known as the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix.
The down, strange and bottom quarks 'mix' the
same way and the here the matrix is known as
the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix.
Finally Lepton number conversation does still
apply: the total ammount of Leptons minus the
ammount of anti-Leptons always stays the same.
However the Lepton flavour numbers i.e. Number
of electrons and electronic neutrinos - (numbers of anti electrons + electronic anti neutrinos),
which was thought to be conversed, is voliated by
neutrino oscillation.
Move somewhere cheaper. Another city maybe,
or rent a room in farm in the sticks.
Get rid of the car. Buy a 100$ rust heap that
can still move. Learn to fix the it
yourself.
Do they have Post Office boxes in america? If
so use these to send your resumes.
Hell move to Goa in India until the job market
gets better, you can live like a king there for
much less than $1000 per month.
Don't let your savings disappear just to hang on
in your current livestyle.
Maybe its harmful, maybe its not the juries still
out. But its a heap load of radiation.
Mobile phone radiate about 1W. If its held to your
eye, about 0.5W enters your head and brain. Now
0.5W is the same ammount of energy per second you'd get from dropping a bag of sugar (1Kg) on your head
from a height of 5cm each second.
Do you Fancy that sort of impact because I don't.
Of course the mobile phone energy is not percursive
in nature. It definitely causes a slight heating
of the brain, but the question is: does it cause
modifications of brain/cell chemistry, or
does it interfere with brain electrical activity.
It is known that strong magnetic fields can interfer with brain function, and even switch off
regions of the brain, but the magnetic fields in
phone radio/microwave are much weaker than that.
With the scientitic uncertainty in the efects of
mobile phone, the public reaction of its better
to be safe than sorry is very rational.
In the output pages from a search engine, the

IANAL but its Libel not Slander, and in Libel
there is a strong fair comment defence. Basically
you can slag off anyone or any company to your
hearts content as long as you don't lie and
say something that is demonstratably false.
For instance if I wrote, Madonna is old and
ugly and her music sucks, and she sues me
I have a defence of fair comment, as looks and
music are matters of taste.
But if I was to wrote that Madonna had sex with a monkey, she can sue me for libel, and if the jury believes that she has never had sex with a monkey, I will lose.
So, writing fuckford or linking to fuckford may
be offensive or obscene, but is in no way libel.
Is when Spammers nick addresses to use as
the fake senders or reply-to address. I got
248 emails to my demon account in 10 hours, all from postmaster and other autorepliers from around
the world.
Our company has twice been used as a mail relay
host, when mail relaying was left on our mail
server, hogging our line and stopping any of
our employees checking there mail. Annoyingly
after we tracked down the spammers to a dial-up
account in Canada using netstat, the ISP refused
to give us the offenders details.
The second time we got hit it was a new email
server that our SUN reseller had only installed
a week before. These guys must be checking mail
servers for open relays every minute of the day.
If I ever find a spammer like these fsckers i'll
personally put on a spiked iron gauntlet and anally fist them to death. After having first
removed their eyes and poured vandaloo sauce into
the sockets. You don't even want think about what i've got planned for their genitials.
This has already happenned for a lot of displines.
For example xxx.lanl.gov for physics, Which was around from the dawn of the web. These are pre-print journals, and have the papers submitted there before peer review takes place.
If the went a step further and arranged for
the peer-review process to take place, kept
a second database for reviewed documents and
distributed print versions for university libraries. They could basically replace all the
old paper journal within a few year. Good thing
too. Ditch the B-arkers.
Most mathematical papers at least have some
text to say what is going on. The MetaMath
proof was none at all just multiple sets of
maths with no description. Even the best
mathematiation can make little sense of a proof
without knowing what the symbols are supposed
to mean. For example take the equation,
H Phi = 0
This can mean lots of different things depending
on what the symbols are supposed to represent.
WIth H and Phi are both real numbers, then it
simply means that either H is zero or Phi is zero.
But if H is the Hamilitian operator and Phi is
an Vector in Hilbert space. Then the above
equation is the Wheeler DeWit equation for
quantum gravity, which is something alot different.
All of the above is just a long we of saying.
MetaMath people, how about putting some smegging
commentry and discriptions on the proofs. Plus
why not have each symbol hyperlink to its definition. Its in hypertext so why not use.
Seriously someone please build one of these. The media reaction would be a joy to beyond. I bet millions will curse its sickness, and another million will download it, because, you know what people are hypocrites.

Not space shuttles, they where called Eagles.
By next year when many programs are SSE2 enabled, AMD clawhammer should take back any lead Intel gets, because it use SSE2 as well.

Mind you SIS is new to the socket A scene so may still have bugs.
If you want server grade stablity and why not get the Tyan Thunder K7 board since is designed for servers and holds dual athlons.

The Gigabyte 7DXR takes 3 DDR DIMMS with the AMD 760.
In fact for 3 DDR DIMMs there are many boards you can use.
Try this Socket A mobo database
Look on Pricewatch for the best prices on RAM, 512MB PC2100, which has just dropped below $600.
So thats a 2GB Athlon box you can make for a little over $3000.
But for you've purposes a dual palomino sounds ideal. Try this one: On preorder from Rack Saver

The first night this hot brunette gave me grabbed hold of my penis and wacked it off till i came.
The second night this hot redhead wanked me off again.
The same thing with a blonde on the third night.
So I went to my boss, and complained:
"Hey I was promised sex each night, but all I get is hand-jobs".
"Didn't you read the contract, the first month's wages is in hand"
sorry old joke.
