There is something wrong with Google's handling of that query http://www.google.com/codesearch#search/&q=%3CFILEHARD%3E&type=cs -- Searching for the same thing in Google Code search brings up "Search query flow failed". Probably the first time I've seen that message from Google.
It does not seem to happen when searching for other queries which are in between greater-than less-than signs. For eg: < ERROR > works fine.
Feeding power into the grid is not all that difficult. The alternators required for this are easily available (mostly for wind-power/solar power) and some states actually will let you run the power meter in reverse. Here is the first link from Google http://www.solazone.com.au/gridinvert.htm. It can break even in the long term (based on US retail costs) if you feed the power back in during peak demand and use all the subsidies for Solar power. .
I would think the break-even determinant would still be his cost of his generation, not the ancilliaries like alternators and what not.
Unfortunate but true restatement. Really, I'm finding that you westerners are really paranoid about diseases and what-not. Here in the third world we have multitudes of people running un-vaccinated versions of bodies, yet somehow our civilisation is still progressing, there's no imminent danger of us having an population meltdown just yet.
According to FT (sorry pay walled link http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/1a199004-a8d5-11e0-b877-00144feabdc0.html) Murdoch was planning to convert his other newspapers (The Sun) into a 7 day newspaper by sharing content/news with TNotW anyway. As it is, his 4 newspapers share the same printing press and he often moves around editors/writers.
From the FT story The second obstacle is that Mr Murdoch and Ms Wade had made known their plan to cut costs and overlap by bringing the News of the World close into line with The Sun as a seven-day operation. It seems likely that News International will resurrect the Sunday title as The Sun on Sunday.
The first story is longer than that . http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20080202/NEWS/309668797
Arrested several times under several names, including Thomas Warz, Warziniak was busted by Grand Junction police Sept. 26, 2006, after shooting methamphetamine into his arm at a Grand Junction hotel.
The lies started when officers tried to figure out who he was.
“I asked Mickaa (Warziniak gave an officer the false name of “Joey Mickaa”) for his social security number, and he told me he was an illegal from Russia and that he did not know for sure how to say the numbers (in English),” an arrest affidavit reads.
The skeptical officer noted his English was just fine moments earlier.
Warziniak was jailed.
In a deal with prosecutors resolving two cases, he pleaded guilty on Jan. 2, 2007, to a minor criminal impersonation charge related to another arrest. Warziniak was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Warziniak continued with tall tales about his past. According to a McClatchy-Tribune news service report on Warziniak’s story, probation officials concluded in a report before his sentencing hearing that he was probably mentally ill.
Nothing exciting.
If they got write permissions they could do some damage/fun stuff... ranging from putting out a news release of "Weiner quits" to "Obama and Castro kiss and make up". And of course there is the secondary effects by modifying a page and getting a senator to comment on it. Say put up a post saying "Obama says Medicare to be cut to zero by 2015/military budget to be cut to zero by 2015" and asking democrat/republican senators to comment on it.
It's cheaper than that and perfectly legal in some countries. CIA paid only about 1.4 million for 2 murders and a homicide.
I accept that there is a slight difference here, in that the payment went directly to the kin and not to judges/politicians. But yes, the answer is Pay $1M, and we forget that murder is true in some parts of the world
The original paper is published in an open access journal and the authors have covered the issues you mention.
Their citations 2-8 are other papers which discuss the possibility of using caves like this for human habitation. The paper also includes spectroscopic studies of the composition of the roof -- seems like lots of Iron and Titanium.This seems to indicate Basalts (volcanic) according to the paper.If it withstood a lava flow, presumably it will survive an atmospheric re-pressurisation/ bunch of construction crews drilling away.
I think (and according to the article) this is a different partitioning algorithm they are talking about. Here partitioning represents a way of representing a number as a sum of other positive numbers. I can't see how this is relevant to statistics - this seems to be a pure number theory problem. Though, I suspect someone somewhere will connect this to cryptography or something.

1) Goldman Sachs is using this investment as a tool to let their investors and partners invest. They are forming a Special Purpose Vehicle to allow this. This works around the SEC requirement that a non-public company can have at most 500 investors.
2) Goldman is now a front runner for any IPO that facebook does. IPO fees are something like 2-4% of the value of the company. On a 50 Bn valuation, Goldman can make about a billion in IPO fees alone.
3) Most likely this stake will also be used as a compensation tool for Goldmans partners/Executives.
4)Goldman gets insider info on tech industry.
I don't know if this has been the case historically. It appears that societies have gotten more egalitarian rather than otherwise. I see the timeline as being a positive one--from the times when corporations (East India company etc.) ran the world, the later situation where large trusts ran the US and railroad tycoons bailed out govts, antitrust movement in the postwar period until AT&T being broken down.
I would think United states is unique. When a nation abundant in capital trades with one abundant in labor ( US being former and rest of the world being latter) the Capitalists in the capital abundant country tend to accrue most benefits, while the labor in the country tend to get screwed. The labor abundant country tends to have an equalization of income. Now if the Capital abundant country wishes to maximize GDP, it tends to protect the capitalists.Since copyright in the current world is a store of wealth, rules protecting them tend to be strengthened.
It is not front running exactly - at least from the High frequency traders perspective. They don't have clients (other than themselves). It is the exchanges which are allowing their clients to be front-run.
In that sense, HFT guys do have insider information received from exchanges that some client is about to trade.
So either definition seems OK.
You assume that the purpose of the society is to be rational and as you say it "ethical".
Define the purpose of the society as maximizing individual happiness or "pursuit of happiness" and your drift problem goes away. You'll get a society where a lot of people take drugs all the time, and it need not necessarily be a bad thing.
You have to remember that all of Rome drank water from lead pipes (lead poisoning) and that most Indians use "Bhang" (a variant of marijuana) for religious celebrations. Neither have ended up killing all the people.
But that still does not explain why the same hearing aid is only about $15 in India (http://shopping.rediff.com/product/hearing-aid) .
The only thing that is cheaper is the doctors cost. That can't explain the $1000 difference. Manufacturing costs the same since India does not manufacture any of these (most are Chinese/Taiwanese/German).
I think that this has to be a demand-supply and regulations issue more than anything else.
I sort of think that Mr. Smith does not exist,but what exists is the computer. Similarly, Neo does not exist, but his body wired to the computer exists.
This is mainly an issue of definition. The real problem is if there is an infinite levels of Matrices, a computer simulating another, simulating another etc. etc. I like to think that the "thought" existing as not existence of a person.
I explained the creator idea in the answer to the previous question.
Well, if you existed and you were not god, it seems extremely likely that something other than you also existed since that must have caused you to exist. The only assumption is that everything must have a cause. Now I can call that thing the creator. Now if there is no "cause" and I still exist, and I at least create my thoughts, I must be god. If there is no "cause" and the only thing that exists is my thought, then I can't say there is a god.
I could never understand the "I think therefore I am" part. The best I can get to is "I think therefore my thought is".
"I think therefore I am" rejects the idea that we could not exist, but our thought could. For example if we lived in a world like Matrix, and we were Mr. Smith, we really did not exist except as our thoughts. Neo turned out to be very different from who he thought he was etc.
That sort of assumption (I think therefore I am) inevitably leads to the conclusion that there is god/creator.
It is pronounced differently in Catalan, not sure about Portuguese.
The Catalan pronunciation of Barcelona sounds more like Barthelona or Barssalona than Barsalona. I think the ç symbol was invented by a man with a lisp.
They are all manufactured in the same place, so efficiency would flow across the borders.Apparently impotency does not.
Almost half of Cialis sales are in USA and that does not include all the "discount viagra online" sales which are recorded in Canada, but are then shipped to US.

Which is why religion and all other straight-faced magical thinking should be abolished.
My counter-proposition is that if religion is abolished, large tracts of population would disappear. Religion/dogma seems to be the only thing that keeps some people going.
Faced with an alternative of continuing living and committing suicide, what are the options ?
1) Realize that life is as likely to be good as bad, decide to die
2) Hope that life is on average good and continue living.
3) Believe that "god" or "gods" or whatever made will give you good times in future/heaven in return for bad things you suffer and then continue living.
*Buddhism might be an oddity- It seems to believe that life is on average sad, but a "middle path" can lead to happiness

H1B is not a temporary worker visa like some European countries have. It is a dual intent visa allowing an eventual transfer to full citizenship. After 5 years you apply for a Green Card and eventually convert to a citizen or you go back.

More like using the same key in every room in a hotel and the key actually working.
