Doesn't explain why you see the top of the mast of an oncoming ship first. If we can make the statue of liberty 'disappear' I'm quite sure we can contrive an optical illusion to give the effect of an object sinking into the ground as it moves away on a flat surface. But no matter how far you go from your starting point, you still get the same effect of ships revealing themselves "top-down" from the horizon. Contacts lenses are often spherical; its just that most of the sphere is missing. Ships moving around on
That being the case, I wish they choose their terminology, like the term "prove", bit more judiciously, lest us plebs gets misled. I'm impressed with the work they've done, but based on my own priors I'd like to see the work replicated by a different team before I'm willing to consider claims of proof as being very plausible.As it stands, this work means, "The same people did the same things with a different sample and got similar results." Well and good, but not nearly so convincing as "Different people di
Funny, because most of the westerners I know that read/love/collect comics are in their late 20s early 30s. I think the whole "comic are for kids" thing died out years ago.
There is also a distinction between "comic books" and "graphic novels" too. Just as there are adult themed comics in Japan, I am sure there are also ones aimed at Japanese kids.
Hah! Nice. My laugh of the morning
To be fair though, I think the beta I have of Windows 7 is better (IMHO) than XP as it did "solve" some issues I was having with the built-in RAID on my ASUS motherboard. It solved it by not giving me a BSOD every 3rd boot and gracefully ignoring the error. The mb is >4 years old now so I guess it's time to upgrade anyway. But I'm more interested in Snow Leopard than 7 at any rate. 7 is a little pokey on my older hardware.
How long before MS releases that format? Stealing the code and improving on it slightly to sell it. And adding an X to the end to make it sound cool and hip!
No, it's Many Enemas Mean Something... the guy who came up with the design really liked his coffee... like... more than just as a friend. Anyway, legand has it, he needed something that would hold steady.
You would simply be aware (insofar as awareness might be possible in such a universe) that the various components of wavefunctions decohere smoothly over time due to interactions and entanglements with systems
In some cases, a digital signature (of the cryptographic kind, not the Slashdot ID kind) can be used as a legally-recognized signature. In some places. Not all places recognize such signatures, and not all places that do will recognize it for all types of contract. Your mileage WILL vary whether you like it or not.
Justices have for decades attempted to derail arguments with tangents, and they do it to both sides. Liberal justices will demand justification from attorneys representing a liberal side just as conservative justices will do with those representing a conservative point, and all question^W grill the representatives on the points while bringing up seemingly unrelated points, interrupting them at their pleasure. It takes nerves of steel to stand up in front of the Supreme Court, because they do know what they're talking about and they absolutely will cut off the unprepared at the knees, and continue moving up until there's nothing left, and woe unto the attorney who gets combative with the justices.Remember that the justices have already read a great deal of case information by the time that oral debates have started, so they are often already leaning in one direction or another. However, there's also a great deal of work that goes on afterward as the justices debate the case internally, one of the reasons that the opinions take so long to come out in most cases. This is mostly a secret process, but there have been indications from some justices that a few debates have escalated to serious arguments with logic sometimes being tossed out the window. Traditions have developed over time to deal with those circumstances and allow the justices to at least end each term with civility, if not going home each night or weekend with some friendliness.
I know the "married guys get none" stereotype is pretty prevalent (hell, I got told it a LOT in the leadup to my own wedding) and I use it myself occasionally for comedic effect...
Statistically, thought, we actually get more than even the 'playa playa' single guys.

I think the real Andrea was much cuter. Actually, much more like me. Too bad I never met her while I was out there, I think we'd actually have been good friends.
I just went reading around a little bit. You can read a little about her on her site.
I sympathize totally with her. I can count the people that know me from high school on one hand. But, folks have been coming out of the wood work that didn't have two words to say to me for all the years I was in sch
I was the ultimate undiagnosed Asperger's geek in high school. Now as a diagnosed Asperger's geek with some social networking skills, I'm heading up the committee for the 20th reunion. Crazy. And amazing how badly the person who "kinda wanted to help", a social butterfly from high school, can't handle the task I've given her to do the missing classmates search.
Btrfs is supposed to be the Linux FS that will be comparable to ZFS.ZFS can be had through FUSE as well.And for an alternative to dtrace there's systemtap.
power ruins the best among us, same goes for the lawyer who registered the Linux trademark, only to give it back to where it belonged - the community...
where did I read "all men (and women) are created equal"?

May thy knife chip and shatter. And be EXTERMINATED.
Am I the only one that is completely confused?
Actually there was a time when Microsoft was hailed as the white knight in the shiny armor freeing us from the evil IBM empire.

No, but you can be pretty damned certain that 500 copies of "10001101" in a row are not random: that is higher entropy than your million 1s.
