Even if you manage full time contracts,
you coding will only be half the time.

Basically this discovery exactly remembers a
pattern of light and replicates it.
This memory device would be entirely optical
and fit into photonic computing systems.
I'd guess density would be pretty good.
The other optical memory schemes I've seen
involved continous loops, set and read.
Another is holographic alteration of material

Is another magic equation that encapsulates

I've seen books on individual symbols,
but don't know if anyone has done all five (or seven).
I. Shah has done 1, *, =, 0, and -1, and refers
to this equation. There are dozens of history
books on pi and a couple on natural logorithms.
"Want to be a Millionaire" quaestion: what is the
historical ordering of these symbols (first printed usage)?
What is the historical ordering of the concepts
behind the symbols (different answer)?
The trick answer is that zero is one of the
latest understood, even though today it
is one of the first taught.
The book basically explains the origin of the
symbol in each equation, from the oldest, the
equals sign, to the most recent, the speed of
light.
I would present it differently.
I would assume a knowledge of high school physics,
which is basically simplified Newtonian and
absolute reference frame, then qualitatively
introduce special relativity.
The best quantitative book I've seen is William
French's "Special Relativity". It only uses
high school algebra and physics, but is usually
is offered as an enrichment appendix to second
semester physics (E&M) at MIT.
Computers and severs are now major appliances
in many houses and offices. In total they
consume 15% of the US energy supply and account
for most of the US energy usage increase since
the 1980s. Some server farms are measured in
megawatt consumption according to a recent
Newsweek article.
Doesn't need to be that way. Laptop technology
knows how to keep computing energy to a few watts
per workstation.
The genome is much like human language-
a fair amount of regularity plus a lot of special
cases. In fact the latter throws off decoding
robots and you see statistics like 98% decoded, etc.
The scientific papers are full of nifty
exceptions to what was believed before.
The markup language would have to be flexible
enough to encode all the exceptions- perhaps as
a procedural attachment.
It would cost tens of billions of dollars to
change over the country to one of these new
"improved" systems. Whare does that money come?
And if it turns out to have serious defects?
That is why many places keep systems for decades.
Credit and driving record databases are now being
used to screen car rentals at some locations.
Since it costs a couple dollars each check,
you don't find out at reservation time, but at
a rental counter in an alien city. The rental
companies have decided its worth screwing a few
precent of their customers at savings of the
bad apples.
Driving record databases are sold by states mainly
for insurance company purposes. But now their is
a secondary market in car rental screening and
general credit screening.
Some employers now check your credit report
for employment. Now it is mainly to root out
thieves. but is the job market softens in a
recession, they may use any anomaly as an excuse
not to hire.
These things are usually tracked by SS number.
Illegal aliens and identity shifters just pull
a number out of thin air (perhaps yours) for
their purposes.
A recent study of ocean temperatures says there
may not be as mouch 20th century global warming
as thought. Human settlements distort land-based
measurements. Subsea measurements are rather sparse.
In the Periodical Table of the Elements,
carbon is in the same column as Silicon, one above.
Therefore it has properties useful for circuit
design, such as substrates and nano-wires.
(Conversely biochemists have speculated on Si-based life.)
I've seen several examples of quilts made out of
shirts at county fairs and such. Seen some with
running race themes, politic slogan themes,
and travel themes. Why not get your girlfriend
to do a nerd theme?
The current methods of planet detection,
mainly light doppler shift, can only see large,
fast bodies- generally larger than a tenth of Jupiter and
an orbit under two months. This has to do with
the amount of doppler shift that can be measured
over a long period of time. Therefore, we are
going to see the strange stuff first: large and
fast and probably out of equillibrium.
Future space-based methods may have earth-type
sensitivity.
C# is the first MicroSoft development product I've
found interesting. (I've been programming five
years longer than MS has been in existance.)
(MS was originally a development products
house before it got into OS and Apps in the 1980s.)
There are languages that are theoretically nicer
like SmallTalk and Eiffel, but not as widespread
or efficient. There are languages very kludgy
such as C++ or a little bit kludgy like Java.
C# larns the best from the C family and is likely
to widespread and efficient.
The same argument as with uptopias, socialist or
otherwise: many detractors haven't really implemented
a full OOP project cycle through maintenance and
re-use with a decent OOP (C++ sucks).

Before the printing press, books were luxuries
costing years of an average person's income.
It was thought dangerous for the average person
to read the Bible in their own language- they
might get the wrong ideas. For better or worse,
the press changed things. New ideas and their
applications acceleration- first religion, then
science, and new concepts of government. It
created a means and market for new authors,
plus increased reader literacy and customer base.
The Net continues and further accelerates this process.
Everyone can be an author,
not only in print but multiple medias.
When the European companies bought out the American
majors, they gave one month per year of service,
minimum six months!

You can rent a vomit comet in Russia and the

But everyone whos been in space says the earth
view is most fantastic part.
In Colorado there are peak climbing goals
such as all peaks above 14,000' (55) or 4000m (98)
or highest peak in each county.
No you can try to find the highest point in each
