If the mass of antiparticles were negative, wouldn't conservation of momentum also imply that in pair production, the two particles would have to end up going in the same direction?
American politics seem doomed to eternal domination by two parties and the associated partisanship. A Single Transferable Vote system would go a long way towards fixing this.
If you outnumber them, you win. If you are outnumbered, you lose.
This is what distinguishes the modern colonial states (USA, Canada, Australia, etc.) from the colonies which collapsed all over the rest of the world in the 20th century (India, South Africa, etc.)
The old response to this is that while to follow Om means to do good, to do good means to follow Om.
Which presumably means that the burning of biofuels is an acceptable sacrifice nowadays.
Exactly. One would hope that for replacement limbs, they'd connect directly to the severed nerves rather than requiring brain implants. Once you have the implant, you might as well add extra arms, a back scratcher, a coffee machine...
One example: due to the ridiculously high prices of (mostly imported) textbooks in South Africa, university students there have started working on a Free High School Science Texts project.
From TFA:
That any discrete type can be used as an array index type, not just the predefined integer type, is a feature that sets Ada aside from most languages that I have seen so far. Pascal does that. With the Object Pascal extensions, it does most of the other things he mentioned too.
However a South African (or British, or Australian, or in general, Commonwealth) postgraduate program is quite different to an American postgraduate program. In South Africa, one does a Masters degree before a PhD and both can be purely research based. In America a PhD program effectively includes a Masters program in its first few years and usually has significant coursework requirements.
by implementing a balanced strategy of robust human spaceflight, expanded robotic spaceflight, and enhanced space science activities. Ah... balanced, robust, expanded, enhanced... with words like these, who needs details?
I think he should have his say. I think the same holds even with Holocaust deniers. Better to disprove them by presenting the facts than legitimize them as martyrs by prosecuting them.
There is no Islamic rule in UK. Actually the only reason the youth is behaving that way, is because of the lawlessness of the British system that is lenient to the criminals like them. In any of their home countries they would be given much harsher treatment for their actions.
If things are so much better in 'their home countries', why did they leave?
Did they move to Western countries purely to spread the good truth about Mohammad? Or did they immigrate because the West had more opportunities for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
If the Islamic theocratic system is so much better, how do you explain the fact that millions of Muslims have moved to Western countries but hardly any Westerners have moved to Muslim countries?
Christianity is like Linux, Islam is like Vista, and folk religions (Celtic, Norse, Judaism, etc) are like GNU HURD. So a single organization has a monopoly on Islam, you have to pay them to use it and they send you Quran patches every few months?
In effect all religions are open source. It's just that some versions used to invade other computers over the Internet and forcibly install themselves.
Actually the comparison is bogus because its apple's and oranges. They have nothing in common other than that word "transmit"
Exactly the opposite in fact. Apples/Apples/Apples. Whether or not it is a SMS message, Voice call, or Data connection it is all just digital communications between the cellular handset and the towers. If anything, SMS is lower priority data - it's not uncommon for their delivery to be delayed by minutes or occasionally days. Imagine that kind of lag in a voice conversation!
However, one of my colleagues who is vegan says that you don't need supplements; there are specific types of nuts and stuff which contain the relevant nutrients. He seems perfectly healthy. "The current nutritional consensus is that no plant foods can be relied on as a safe source of vitamin B12." - The Vegetarian Society.
China demographically overwhelms Tibet, so by annexing it they can easily deprive the Tibetans of self determination, even under a democracy.
But if Britain and India were combined into a single democratic state, the British would be outnumbered ~18 to 1 come election day. In effect the UK would become a minor state of India.

Never mind that. I can show you where it will be: West Bank and Gaza.
And they said that those hair and toenail clippings had no use! Take that, voodoo doubters!

If PETA thinks we can do it with meat, why not with bananas?
We could even make banana flavoured meat. Or meat-flavoured bananas!

I hope Time Warner offers this deal in South Africa. The standard cap in SA is 3GB, with overage charges equivalent to $8/GB (US).

That sounds a bit like Deism. The Wikipedia article on Deism states (apparently without proof) that Einstein was a Deist.
Most of the traditional universities on Wikipedia's list of universities in South Africa have postgraduate programs in all major subjects.

I wonder whether spammers trying to crack captchas are accelerating AI research, or just misusing it?
There are only so many basic narrative ideas which tend to get recycled. The originality in fiction usually comes from new characters and settings.
Practically every second fantasy story since Lord of the Rings has involved a hero and a dark lord villain. They just aren't called Frodo and Sauron.
Although if the energy that usually enters our biosphere ever becomes too little, once you're harvesting from space, there's plenty more out there...
One that murders efficiently and painlessly?
