Just curious. I've seen direct driven blowers in a number of various applications. Is there some special need to use belt driven blowers for the air in data centers?
As the energy of the rays goes up, the higher frequency means a narrower gap between cage "bars" and the amount of current to generate the reflection increases. You might find sheet metal (copper) is cheaper than a cage at the sorts of energies of some cosmic rays.
They need to formulate graphene into a device for ultradense storage of hydrogen. Then they could use their hydro-electric to separate
the hydrogen from the carbon, make graphene gas (hydrogen gas) tanks from the carbon, put the hydrogen in it an sell 'em pre-filled to owners of Toyota fuel cell cars. That would help cut down on the feelings of responsibility for global warming.
I've experienced multiple instances of the crap that goes on in the real world, and they're too similar for this not to be a systematic problem. If what these schools teaching isn't promoting this crap, it isn't giving people adequate tools and motivation to determine and eliminate the sources of it either.
I don't think he was suggesting that. I think he was suggesting that most History and Geography lessons are already non-propagandist, and by suggesting otherwise (though the choice to include the phrase "non-propagandist") you were setting yourself up as the one who knows definitively what is and is not a propagandist viewpoint, and he doesn't concur. I'm not saying that I think it was your intent to give that impression. You could have been about to type just plain "History and Geography" and then thought, "Well, not if it's propaganda, I guess, so I better cover my ass and prefix it with 'non-propagandist.'" Or, maybe you just finished reading an article called _Propaganda in Our Schools_. But, I don't think that's the impression you gave in that particular case.
Have you considered the possibility that MBA teaching programs are like Computer Science students? Some teach the right things. And, some just take shortcuts, and once their students enter the real world, they arrange for businesses to create crap.
"Coming January 1st 2014, and here's a link where you can compile it now" would make the above announcement come across as more relevant to the present.
This is like Amazon book ads, only more pointless. Why not either make a submission "The GCC team needs your donation," or wait to advertise it until people can respond to the ad and download it? If it had only one new feature (and it wasn't "now secretly adds more sophisticated backdoors") people with any sort of interest in using GCC will probably get the new version when it's available.
So, AOL + a bunch of people whose products are paid for by federal money (whose purse holders just happen to be in easy driving distance)? I'm sure it helps to be able to consult in person with the purchaser of the product, and what with the heavy traffic 'n all there's a need to arrange an after hours venue.
Get with 11,000 small town mayors. I bet they'd each donate $5. There's lots of places where the volunteer ambulance service could use an ecg that doesn't rape the customer on price.
The Billionaire class could enlist the TV watching zombies with an advertising campaign. If the billionaire class runs the data communications infrastructure, and everyone figures it's spied on anyways, they could use it to implement their own version of ABSCAM, and when they have enough dirt on enough stupid corrupt politicians, expose a couple as part of their pro privacy media campaign. If you had an intelligent population and honest politicians, this "we need ultimate power" crap wouldn't be happening in the first place, so it may be more practical to use the system's faults against itself.
Is this some hotbed of programming talent and I missed hearing about it?
When I think about politicians hiring programming based on physical proximity, I can't help but think they've reached the AIG level of not giving a damn what anyone thinks of them, because some variant of "close enough to blow me" is what everyone's going to think of the decision making process.
The argument will be: "No one will buy music if everyone can hear whatever they want whenever they want to with this search tool. Radio stations used to be cool because you could hear everything we sell, but not whenever you want to, so you'd buy it to have schedule control."
Then the counter-argument will be: "Not everything is playing all the time. That's only marginally true for the really popular stuff."
And the reply: "But that's just it. The demand will see the greatest reduction in the stuff from which we make the most money. How will we get by without selling a zillion copies of the latest thing before it quits being the latest thing anymore?"
And, the punishment will be 15 lashes with a buggy whip delivered by a journeyman in the candle snuffer's union (except punishment will have to be indefinitely deferred because union regs say that he can only snuff candles).
There's more real numbers between 1 & 2, but a correspondence can be made between the rational numbers and the natural numbers. Draw the first part of an infinite box, with natural numbers running along each edge and the rational numbers formed as a fraction of those natural numbers at the points of intersection. Such a box contains all rational numbers. Now imagine a pathway zig-zag'ing diagonally, starting at the corner of the box you've drawn. Proceeding along that pathway you will reach every one of the rational numbers, and so can put them into a correspondence with the natural numbers by sequentially numbering them as you come to them along that pathway.
If the size of the problem was small enough that one crab could eat the fish they lost during the trip, then they wouldn't have considered it a problem. Crab fishermen use fear also. If their tank is fairly full, they hang an octopus at the hatch cover on the tank, so that the crab all back away and make room for more.
I was trying to think of a practical application for this in my life. The first think my mind didn't reject was a cell or wifi boosting antenna printed onto transparency film, laminated & kept rolled up when not in use. From the comments, it sounds like conductive tape or glue
could be used to attach wires that would be mechanically secured by the lamination process.
I was thinking that 3d printed titanium bones (or ends of bones) for people who lose them to disease. They could print smooth exterior and interior surfaces with a strong lightweight foam in between, which would be hard to create by any other means. Doctors could sculpt the shape they need and 3d scan it or perhaps take a cat scan of a symmetrically opposite bone that's in better shape.
Every time I was in a crowded hall and someone tried that, it was hard for the student to be heard by the professor, next to impossible for students further out to hear, and by the time the interaction completed, I was often wondering if it was worth everyone else's time to have sat through the one person's words and the response to them. I can see the benefit of a large crowded hall if the school is maximizing the use of the time of a visiting guest lecturer. I went to a couple such symposiums I'm very glad to have attended. But, in that sort of case, I'd never be paying attention to the connected device, only to the person speaking.

Contents may have settled somewhat during shipment. It's never so full as one hopes.

T-Mobile is common. Not universal perhaps, but they're common.

If it's Pima cotton, probably bath towels.

I don't think I'm ready to have my experience expanded in this manner.

from touching themselves. I keep seeing this image of a bunch of kids playing sardines wearing Steve Martin style full body condoms.

why cram all the bodies into the hall?
