We know it's a great success for NASA because the rest of the country doesn't even realize something is going right. The only news being sent to Main St is bad news these days.
Some of the newer Agilent 'scopes run WinXP on them to aid in developing programs that run on the scope.
I'd imagine that the reverse would work just as well with a bit of ingenuinity.
I don't use a heater during winter; I just leave my computer running Athlon XP on all night. It takes the edge off those cold nights.
The real killer is standby power. It leeches close to 10% of the electricity 24/7. Install physical switches or unplug devices when they are not in use.
I wholeheartedly disagree with your sentiment. There are still plenty of options in the Union for engineering. Pigeon holing all specific subject engineers insults the subject and profession. Most engineers I've met are very capable, and very flexible problem solvers. Inherently it is not the math that is the problem, but the complexity of modern systems that is the slowest factor.
If anything, it's the priorities in the management and compensation chain that needs to be examined. Our culture is so focused on time-to-market that most solutions presented to engineers are not given enough time for quality assurance. This leads the jobs to become outsourced to India/China/etc where the same _job_ can be done by very capable engineers, but without the quality requisite that is demanded by most consumers. There are in fact many companies within the Union that hire Americans and are still able to do well in the marketplace.
The failure of public elementary schools is the recognition of talented students. Sure there are GATE programs, but this still doesn't recognize those who excel at subjects that are slowing them down.
I remember being so bored in math class from grades 5-12. Only once I got to college was I able to start taking classes that pushed my limit of understanding so much that I started becoming interested in learning what was going on. Prior to that however, I was scrapping by from boredom.
Just because the source is open, doesn't mean you understand what it's doing. Picture this cliche: a million monkeys typing on a million typewriters will eventually write a work of human literature. Replace monkey with man, and human with G-d, and a million with many billions. Some imperfections along the way seem readable to us, but it's hardly past beta.
Most likely it is the emissions from mining and refining operations. The actual reactor doesn't involve CO2, but I suspect that the emissions are accounted for from the tractors, diggers, refiners, and perhaps a small part for dissolved CO2 in water that gets released from heat exchangers. I only have a second hand listing from another source all together attributed to the book listed.
Yea, but neither do Circuit City salespeople.
On the other hand, you will be earning about 3 times as much wages that the stoner, computer illiterate salespeople will. That's a good incentive.
I agree, it would not have matter in terms of stock price if say 10% of investors checked up on the trigger. Once there is a fear in the market, it takes a while (hours, days, weeks) before the trend reverses and the stock is worth it's market value. Suppose you were in this same scenario, saw the typographical error in the aggregated article, and decided to hold on to UAL stock. Everyone else would sell like baboons, plummeting your stock's value. You could either hold on, having faith in the market (in these days, really?) to return the stock to its value, or sell and short the stock while you can still get some profit out of it.
I would much rather take the money and run, then be left with worthless stock and a good conscious. It may sound greedy, but it's the marketplace afterall.
The small size of the chips will allow them to be connected to any USB capable computer and possibly to other USB capable devices. In 2009 Sony plans to launch the first TransferJet-based products.
This is really what the technology is about. You'll still need to buy another round of cables to connect your mobile devices to your PC. At a predicted cost of $40-50, this is exactly like the cellphone charger dilemma. This is what it's about.
You're really only adding a 3cm radius of influence on the entities. I predict it would still be at logarithmic growth in any case. The key factor is transfer rate. If the ratio between transfer rate to pathogen size is high, then you can treat it as a game of tag. If the ratio is low, then time of visit will play into the modeling.
Truth be told, at least Sony is trying to standardize something. Look at it this way: you have company X that develops a technology Y in their products Z to make them more useful to the consumer. They get the support of similar market players in their sector and agree to normalize the technology for those involved.
The problem lies in that they are using a saturated medium (2.4GHz radio) as a bedrock for their technology. I think this is both a blessing and a curse. In one aspect, almost all handhelds have a 2.4GHz radio in them, so they will surely see the signal. The curse, however, is that any handheld device will see this signal, doubly so if you can sniff out packets. The author of the article claims there is already a solution available in standardized 802.11[.] technology that is capable of doing this. However, we come back to the curse of the radio: anyone with such a device would see the data. If you add encryption, that's pretty fancy, but now you have to design bloatware management software to handle the device's security features through the host computer or data card.
I like the idea, but it reeks of security flaws. I'm still going to use USB2.0 to transfer the pictures of my lame vacation and cats using the old fashion way.
This is not necessarily Nazi related. Muslim have been forcing Christian and Jews to wear distinguishing marks in Arabic countries for centuries. Dhimmis, as they are called, were forced to wear bright clothes to distinguish themselves from Muslims.
Also in Medieval Europe, Jewish males were forced to wear Jewish hats, unlike Yarmulkas, when leaving the Jewish ghettos.
Needless to say, persecution of Jews is nothing new, and distinctly un-original in all cultures.
As an EE, I have job security. My job is NOT offshoreable, because you cannot offshore local maintenance in power stations. Think about it.
In the US, we are at a precipice: energy is still in large demand and the cost of which is skyrocketing. Watch CNN for one hour and tell me how many Green energy advertisements you see. They are not advertising the energy but rather advertising the demand for innovators and engineers who can help solve this problem.
If nothing else, they would rather import EEs to help fill the team, rather than send the work off to *sia. As far as the EE/CS types are concerned, that market is saturated with smart people. Simple market forces dictate that the supply of able-bodies outnumber the supply of available jobs. Cue the labor auction.
There are plenty of topics in EE:
Power, Microelectronics/Semiconductors, Signals, Computer architecture, Radios (subset of Signals, but can stand on its own), Optics/lasers.
Most of these also fall into the theoretical physics domain as well, and often times it's hard to differentiate.

Valid point, but the merchant still must query USPS servers to determine shipping cost when they purchase the postage.

What what? (In the butt) That's news to me.
Nope, sodomy is still illegal in most states' laws.

Energy generation can't be measured in total emissions, but rather by emissions per unit energy produced.
Coal: 1160 g of CO2/kWh
Gas: 400 g of CO2/kWh
PV Solar: 120 g of CO2/kWh (manufacturing)
Nuclear: 55 g of CO2/kWh
Biomass: -4 kg of CO2/kWh
Of course, nuclear has its own special disposal requirements, but it is less polluting in terms of green house gases.

You used Vista for longer than a month? I pity your suffering. There is help available.
On the same token, Micronesia isn't a million times smaller than ... Nesia.
Millipedes don't have a thousand legs either.
Oddly enough, Megaman is quite smaller than a normal sized man, even tho he is at least a million times more powerful.

Answer: about as fast as regular pathogens would.

Exactly why I wouldn't trust an architect to build my home. Design away sir, but when it comes to putting walls up, I'd trust a contractor more.
Hey come to think of it, I'd trust the handymen more than the brainy guys.
And immediately right after LBJ (Democrat) worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1963 he told his advisors that he signed the South to Republicans.
Ever since, the South has been voting Republican.
So yes, they are still racist.
