Throwing more hardware at a problem is far from an elegant solution. For all the bloat, what exactly does it accomplish which warrants such a massive hardware investment?
No it couldn't be argued as the next step, failing to mention the next step towards what. Perhaps we should get comment from the dopers to see what the grand plan is, because all I'm seeing are liars and cheats.
I thought the Olympics was a celebration of the the human body and it's driving will. Apparently I'm naive in this thinking and it's really just about drugs, money, superficial and ill-gotten prestige. Should we be looking forward to calling the competitors 'Players' at Olympics 2012: West Coast Pimps, Yo?
Actually, the strainer isn't a half bad idea, as long as the size of the holes is smaller than the wavelength of the microwave and you could cover the whole head with it. Might not be for fashion conscious types, but it beats a hemorrhaged brain.
If by regularly, you mean regularly over the course of a handful of years some 20 years ago, then spot on (gosh that makes me feel old). Lets face up to reality here, America's conflicts with Iraq have never been on the back of humanitarian concerns - both the Gulf War and the Iraq Invasion have been about securing resources. WMD's, genocide, the things which pull at the heart strings of basic human fears and empathies are really just good politics.
But hey, at least Cameco Corp are coming out infront. This is still good news;)
That seems like overkill, but i'd be interested to know what info ReadNotify are using.
As for image mail trackers, I worked on a mailer product with in-built message tracking which had some inherent issues getting through spam or script checks, so I approached and solved it with a combination of apache mod_rewrite, a base 64 encoded pair of the recipient address and an md5 hashed key of some other info (as in which mail it was regarding), and also a 1x1 transparent.GIF.
When the client rendered the HTML and the request for the image file hit the mod_rewrite rules, it was passed to a script which unpacked the encoded filename, wrote that the message had been opened to a DB, and served the transparent gif. It worked as well as it could in conjunction with apache/sendmail logs, and no need for spammy images or any type of advertising.
Although I haven't looked at OOR in any depth, I'm hoping the engine is also being built from an epistemological perspective over pure ontology. Yes, there's lots of data, but what do you do with it, weed out redundancy, and make it useful.
data != information, but i'm interested to see what evolution this project takes.
Well the alternate world where there's no cash/consumption economy is a scary place for some, and it's in the best interest of people who subscribe to that model to keep it alive any way they can. As an extension of the humans which created it, economics is a pervasive, organic, living thing in itself. The best defense would be to maintain the mental barrier against the innocuous manipulation of marketers, or at least try and confuse their data.
One way to avoid the weak washout is to have the GUTs generate a net density of leptons, which the additional weak interactions would then recycle into baryons.
I'm not sure why, but reading the weak washout section, i'm reminded of space filling (self-dithering) Hilbert Curves. Would anyone know of a similar line of enquiry to this end? I know analysis is the hardest part of chaotic systems, but it would be interesting to see if anyone has practically explored an underlying mathematical order.
I considered some of the answers insightful, for example: "We know money doesn't create loyalty--a sense of purpose does".
Funny you should say that, I thought opposite about that particular question. I mean, money doesn't have any real informational value, it's just a tool that humans use as an abstraction for actual resource management, and so never more related to any deeper senses of "higher purpose" than any other control mechanism, like Law or social politics. If he wanted to be insightful, he might have alluded to the psychology of those who aren't happy toeing the line to a war machine, and how he might sell the (self righteous) philosophy that it's A-OK to bomb other countries to rebels and free thinkers who find the whole affair rather transparent. Unless he doesn't know what the big picture is himself, of course;)
well, what about powering electric car refuel stations with hydrogen power tech? It seems a bit much to just write it off when we could have the best of both worlds.
I hope those babies are modular and they've been engineered for future retrofit. It seems like a lousy investment if they're only configured to pump gas in a future looking (thankfully) petrol free. Can they juice a hybrid, or drop some hydrogen pellets as well? Unless they can do that, why not give real people something to do besides breed.

I'm sure it can't have been slashdotted already. Alternate source here
and define yourself to be outside!

How are small town papers losing so much market share if they're reporting mostly local news?

What if you have one spoon, but it's just too big!?

i concur! thankyou :)
