Cosmic rays appear to have an energy ceiling of around 10^20 electron volts. Thats 10 million times the maximum energy rating of the large hadron collider. This is a proton traveling at almost the speed of light up to eight decimal places. There have been various proposed explanations for this apparent ceiling ranging from inadequate high-energy cosmic ray detectors to no acceleration mechanism known for higher energies. But the most plausible explanation cosmic rays rarely interact with big bang photons or vacuum virtual photons which slows them down. The theoretical numbers tend to agree.
Its in the energy industry where many of the developers have domain-knowledge degrees like geology. The management attempted offshoring a few years ago. But it was an utter failure due to the lack of domain-knowledge developers. China and India college training is too specialized.
I've seen similar issues in vertical industries like aerospace, utilities, oil companies which are not attractive to recent college graduates. Boomer dominate. This is becoming an issue as boomers retire. But I call it "job security".
I'd say the only drawback is you dont see people putting in more than 50-hour weeks at the most. This would be suicide for a gamer or F/X company.
Apple has had four major hits by my reckoning: (1) Apple II (with VisiCalc), (2) MacIntosh (with LaserPrinter), (3) iPod (with iTunes) and (4) the iPhone (with Apps). I doesnt matter a lot if they've had some lemons along the way.
One of my classmates is a prof there and uses the pattern matching software.
The policy is pretty clear. So are the results. The prof sadly confesses the dean must suspend a couple students every year from his classes.
One could argue both ways. On one hand there may be a spiritual world out there and the brain is developing an inner sense to perceive it. This not yueat a fully developed sense like sight, but a start. Ont he other hand, one could take the opposing stance that the spiritual is an artifact arising from the brain and does not exist independently. Perhaps religion is some social-evolutionary phenomena and not real.
My thesis advisor rewrote his textbooks every five years or so. But bemoaned losing the original copies of figures and being able to regenerate them in ever-improving computer/print media. So he started the requirement of reproducible documents : the computer programs, both scientific & graphic along with raw data much me assembled together for every figure in your thesis and scientific paper. These would be assembled into makefile-like system to create whatever portion one needed. Then they were archived for posterity. The ultimate test was to "burn" your figures, i.e. erase them from the upcoming document. Then the programs would be run to regenerate them. In practice there are "degrees" of regeneration. Sometimes the figure data is the output of a multi-month supercomputer run. So just the document formating programs would actually be run on the raw output data.
This system was just mentioned in Science magazine Jan 22 2010 p 415. (no free link)
I would call just an another kind of money-making business. Much of it is self-directed with the intent to sell it to an agency or business, to sell it directly, or to start a business with it. I suspect this holds true for internet-hacking: lots of it is self-directed.
Those factories have been mothballed and the employees reassigned or laid off.
There might be enough spare parts for an extra science mission Bush canceled a few years ago.
At its maximum capacity the Soyuz could supply 18 astronauts a year to the space station via six annual launches. But Soyuz has never operated at that high capacity. Four launches would be considered more likely. The US quota is 2 of the 6 ISS astronauts, Russia another two, and the remaining two more for Japan, ESA, and Canada. More likely there will be 4-5 at a time and four launched, hence the four US astronaut estimate. Contrast this to the 25-30 in recent years to build the ISS.
For his vast financial contributions to charity and the effort he is putting into focusing it. His example has inspired other "new money" to be more charitable too.
The book was about a WWI soldier who lost all four limbs, blind, deaf, and mute, yet still awake. The medical people thought his twitching was just instinct.
Then someone realizes his head banging is Morse code.
The story is from the patient's perspective.
It resurfaces as an ant-war book periodically.
Could be rather creepy if you see a race of people without white eyeballs. This is the main distinction humans have from other animals- ours are one of the rare white eyes. Ours probably evolved for cohesion: eye contact during conversation and sex; And to see what the rest of people are looking at when they are in a group.
Dune is about humans who've rebelled against computers and machines and pushed their human talents to the limits. You need F/X for the worms and spaceships, but not for most of the story.
There are times I cannot see scooters when block by other vehicles. They and their driver are only four feet tall. Bicycles are more like 5 to 6 feet. Both should have flags for even more visibility.

The gaming benchmarks ran five times faster on the latest multicores.

Until they get their hands on Apple's first. Else its mainly dueling hypotheticals. Apple will setting a standard for better or worse for the others.
I read far more books on my own and a much wider variety than my teachers suggested.

$300 billion and counting. We could probably buy all the enemy's missiles at this rate.

Sounds like a school-kid level activity.

You need exotic symbols and shift movements to accurately copy math.

For giving way to small amounts of pressure.
We have dozens of interesting technologies proposed each year. But few pass the commercial test.

The Chinese people would love to hear about their bribes and mistresses. The NSA must have these if they exist.

We mainly develop on Linux-Java platforms. Android is closer to that than the AppleOS-ObjectiveC platform.
Especially blogs. Poor writing and poor content. An editor filters much of that out.
