It depends.For many papers, this is how I have seen it progress
1) Go to a conference and present a topic.
2) Publish a larger set of results including the above as a PhD/Job Market/Masters paper.

4) Take the ideas and condense it further and publish in an industry journal
5) Make it into a 1 page and add pictures to publish in a trade journal or to use in marketing products.
I believe the visa in question is the B1/B2 visa. The visa is issued as B1, B2 or B1/B2. If it is B1 alone, it is a tourist visa. B2 is a business visa. B1/B2 includes both, but i believe you have to declare at the port of entry what the purpose of the travel is.
B2 is not a tourist visa, but allows a visitor to negotiate contracts etc.(do business, not necessarily work) while in US and being on a foreign payroll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-2_visa#Uses_of_a_B1.2FB2_visa
I think of it as a progression.
Before 90s New York Times and the Post were the only sources of real news. They had actual reporters on the field. They were playing the role of both news aggregators (like Reuters/AP) and a paper (with the paper version). Local newspapers then added local content to Times/Reuters/AP news and printed it.
Then after internet, their paper business shrunk while their online version did not catch up enough. So NYTimes became a paper with a lot of reporters on the field, but with not enough ads sold to pay for them. The local newspapers got killed because everyone figured out that you could get 90% of the news on the NY times website for free and the remaining regional coverage on local radio/TV.
Now NYTimes is making the online version expensive. This should really have helped the local newspapers, but they are all dead and people did not grow up subscribing to local newspapers and will not start anymore.
You can still get news from AP or Reuters online for free and without any of the editorial biases (real or perceived) of the Times. East Coasters can still get a slightly biased coverage from Bloomberg (and Bloomberg Businessweek).
The people who missed out are indeed the midwesterners -they lost their local papers while times won't serve them anymore at zero cost.
No, it doesn't.
First_post & !First_post equals false, which is a boolean. If ! is the same as !First_Post , then you must be defining "First_post" as "True".
That would lead to some odd conversations.
"Honey, did you let the cat out? "
"First Post"
B does not seem to apply very well.
India was under Persian rule for a long time. Now it is no longer Persian or Muslim, but secular (Hindu majority). Similarly, Afghanistan was taken over by Russia after a long Muslim-secular rule. Spain for a period was Islamic.
Even extremists in Iran does not seem to claim to wipe either of these countries out.
I think this is more related to local geo-political stresses and considering some people bad neighbors than an attempt at world conquest (Dar alHarb -as you call it)
It is not foolish science. There are two differences that I see.
1) Black body radiation cannot be turned on or off at will at constant temperature. What these guys have figured out is a way to turn it on or off using electric power.
2) Since it is an LED it emits a specific frequency range of (visible) light. Black body radiation emits all frequencies, but peaks at a frequency dependent on the temperature. I doubt the materials used would have any noticeable amount of visible light at 135C. These guys have managed to somehow convert all these varying frequencies into the natural frequency of the LED at 135C.
The article talks about a first and a second sleep in the night - The interruption actually happens after sundown.
It may have been common in Europe, but was unheard of in India/China afaik. In most warm places, night is the time when snakes get out. It is also the time when wild animals roam about. Not the time to wake up and wander about.
On the other hand most of these places wake up early and then have siesta after lunch, which is still the case today in Southern Europe/Latin America.
Parse error?
I had no problems with that sentence as it stands- It was well formed grammatically as far as I saw it. I split it as the following.
Denver uses unencrypted wifi - hence data can be accessed. Denver offers free Wifi - so many are likely to use it and this makes capture of data especially probable.
I do not see how that sentence implies that all free networks are unencrypted.
Gull wing doors take less width than standard hinged doors, because the pivot point is near the centre-line of the vehicle. Not exactly true.
If you are in a regular car and need to open the door in a tight space, you can partially open the door and squeeze through. In a Gullwing (or Falcon wing as some are calling this one), if you partially open the door you cannot get out. Probably relevant in crowded parking lots, like in a school lot in the morning. The sliding doors in Japanese small cars were made to specifically address this problem.
Funny thing is that the original Gullwing from Mercedes had a gullwing because it had too high door sills (because the race car they based it on had the load bearing members at waist height running through the car) and they simply fixed it by opening the door upwards. In this case, the big advantage of an electric car is that there is no transmission or any sort of connection between the front and rear axles (it has two engines), but still there is a door that opens up.
T-Mobile still won't do 3G/4G on an iPhone which is what I think the GP was asking about. Not their fault, but iPhone just happens to use a frequency that is used by AT&T in US.
If you really had to use iPhone on prepaid in US (with data), you have to either buy international version of iPhone and take it to t-Mobile for their $35 - $50 plan or get a Sprint version of iPhone and use it on Virgin Mobile/Boost (Sprint's pre-paid branch) and hope it works.
Mostly because of the rule changes involving follow on offerings. Rule 144A and other acts have made it simpler to issue a limited amount of stock (in case of facebook 5%) and then issue subsequent blocks when the price gets decided in the marketplace.
The price difference between the auction format and the IPO format only affects the limited amount (5%) of the stocks issued in the primary offering. The follow on offerings are at the price set in the market which reflects (hopefully) the fully informed price of the company.
It matters for a few reasons
1) SEC does not like clients advertising/talking to media etc. in the quiet period prior to IPO. If everyone knew when the documents were being filed, SEC could then treat that period too as a quiet period and would hinder facebook's advertising. It can also block any private capital raising that facebook is doing.
2)It affects prices of related stocks. Look at how linkedin, zynga stocks jumped the day after facebooks filings. It would have been easy to buy those stocks the day before filing and sell it the day after for a significant profit. It is true that linkedin/zynga stocks should not move on facebook news, but certainly their volatility increases when facebooks revenue metrics are released. So anyone buying options on these related stocks the day before profited
3) If at the last minute facebook wanted to change their bookmakers ( non-lead bookmakers can be changed easily enough), it would be difficult after the news leaks.
What you said should be true, but it is not in many (and specifically in this) case
Usually companies do a public offering of a chunk of their private stock to raise working capital, fund growth etc. In those cases the company wants to get as high a price as possible. It used to be the case that the banks would indeed shaft the companies by allocating stock to their preferred customers at a low price and letting the stock pop (giving profits to these "preferred" clients). After the dot com bust, NY courts have come down on this practice pretty hard.
In this case, Facebook is only IPOing 5% of their stock. So what price it is is sold is less important than having it sold at all. And even more strangely, the company has no need for the IPO proceeds. The prospectus specifically says that the reason for having the IPO is to have an opportunity for the privately held stock to be sold later on. It also says that no specific use for the 5 Billion has been found.
So in that sense they do want the stock to pop after launch -it gets everyone excited and hopefully the euphoria will last 6 months when the insiders can finally sell.
Cannot directly comment on the specific phone, but in general 3G phones will work.
4G phones sometimes do not work if they do not support AT&T's so-called-4G which is HSPA+ and runs on a different frequency on T-mobile. HP/Palm 4G phones defaulted to EDGE if used on T-Mobile network.
That said, T-mobile did release a cosmetically identical phone to the one you have, so it just might support quad band.
I actually have both an AT&T (Blackberry) and a Sprint-based-prepaid (cheap Samsung Android) phone and I can confirm that my observations are the same as yours.
I call international occasionally and use calling cards and the like. They compress the signal again, so it is important that the data be not already compressed. Every time I call using AT&T, it sounds tinny. I can immediately switch to my Sprint phone and the signal is a lot better. I had T-Mobile (G1) earlier, but I did not have this problem, so I do not believe this is a difference between GSM/CDMA compression schemes. AT&T has to be chopping off some frequency ranges.
He traded in investment rated treasuries actually. It was just that these treasuries belonged to Spain, Italy etc. which at that point were rated investment grade, but really had serious risk of default. He stuck to the letter, but not the spirit of the law.
Many automatic trading platforms support it.
For example, you already know analyst/market estimates for revenues and profits. All of the markets know it, so it is priced in. If the actual numbers are higher, it is a surprise and the stock will go up. Else it will go down. So you just build in a news parser - Reuters/Bloomberg etc. can provide you the news in many formats. SEC also has reports in xml. So parsing it is trivial. After that it is just a matter of feeding it into your trading platform, which is also simple enough.
I have actually seen ads on the NY Subways which tout a news vendor reporting a specific news one second before the other (I think in this case it was Reuters/Bloomberg) - so I have to think this sort of trading is already standardized and common.
And this is PRECISELY what pisses many (geek) users off, that they can't get the latest and greatest or that new phones come to market being outdated!
While your premise is correct your conclusion is off, in my opinion. Geek users want to upgrade - it is the regular joe early adopters who want the coolest-phone-ever-for-the-next-few-years.
Steve Jobs bio illustrates this very well - He says one of the ways he gets great products out is by controlling the solution, from manufacturing through graphics, to user experience completely. He specifically blames Microsoft for not controlling everything.
Geeks (of the Unix kind,at least), also like nice little segments which can be joined together to make a whole. For example, Google makes the software (which you can use as a brick in building a phone), a manufacturer makes a phone (which you can avoid if you don't like) and others make apps (or you can write one). There are 3 different dimensions to what constitutes a phone - and this freedom is considered a good thing for the ecosystem. It will screw the user experience, but mostly it works out in the long term.
Not very different from Unix vs. emacs from a geek standpoint. I like vi, but will use emacs rather than notepad if I had to. Notepad, compared to emacs is probably the iPhone - nicer looking and easier to use (if I were to use the mouse), but with very little you can do outside the boundaries.
Not enough in this case.
They know that this bacteria lives in an environment of Arsenic and may use it in its cell process. So any Spectrometric study will show Arsenic as contamination. Even if you clean up for that, there might be bits of Arsenic stuck in the DNA, but which do not do anything. I believe what they are trying to do is to see if Arsenic is a "functional" part of DNA. ie would the DNA without Arsenic be the same as arsenic without it.
