remember that there is nothing special about the number 10. If you didnt have any thumbs and were looking for a factor of 8 rather than ten, might you not be seeing this pattern? I believe that you are seeing patern where there is coincidence. Dont feel bad, that is a very human thing to do.
I am in no way trying to write off the suggestion that annual celebrations might have an effect on event severity/frequency. This is a very valid suggestion, but perhaps a little outside of what this research is tackling.
There is a huge difference between an event happening about once a year, and happening once at the same time every year. A 1 year event wont have exactly one year between each even. Instead there will be on average a year between each event. It would not be unreasonable to see 2 years or a few months between a pair of 1 year events.
While it may be true that some events are linked to events in a calendar, i believe you are interpereting what is actually said incorrectly.
Not 26 gigabytes, 26 gigapixels. The tiles for the image are probably a few gigabytes total, but you will only be served the tiles for the magnification level and area you are looking at, c.f google/bing maps
Which is a shame, somewhere with unabiguously legal content available freely and freely would be great. I have plenty of content that i would happily share freely, but im not going to pay to share it. Id bet there's a few others in a similar situation aswell.
On the other hand, even if such a place did exist, having only 512kbit upload would make sharing multi-gigabyte, multi-gigapixel images tedious anyway.
In the uk, one of the fastest mainstream providers also uses a throttleing policy which can be viewed at http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html . The summary is that there is no bandwidth cap, but during certain periods of the day, if you download more than a set amount within that period (exact amount depends on package taken), you are throttled for 5 hours, usually to about 25%. It is quite annoying to loose so much for so long, but with a little planning, you can set any large download to run over night and avoid any throttleing since from 9PM to 10AM, nothing is counted against any limits for throttleing. I believe they are experimenting with small variations, such as upping the throttleing to a greater length, but removing any throttling after 11PM. Its obviously not quite ideal, but they dont try to hide it, and its more fair than some policies might be.
If they are basing 7 million PCs on 7 million unique ips, then surely there are likely many more than 7 million pcs infected, as each ip will represent one home router that is broadcasting to all the pcs in that home. And if one is infected, id say its fairly likely that all the rest are infected too, so id multiply that 7 million by the average number of pcs in a household.
Whatever they are doing with algae to get biofuel from it, its gotta be better than cutting down rainforrests to make environmentally friendly biofuel. Bring it on.

You may call it a symptomn of irrelivance to be making a way to port your app for smartphones, but it does mean that flash-devs can make apps for many more people without needing to learn all the new SDKs
I purchased the domain for my site through my web host, as a result if you look up the domain on whois all you get are the details for the host rather than me.C ould it be that the number is so high because of the average joe registering through a site that puts its own details forward to the likes of whois, rather than because the majority of people are intentionally trying to hide their details. Hanlon's Razor.
Or have i just completely mis-understood this.
For the night sky, 800 megapixels is impressive. But for earth, its not particularly big. go to gigapan.org and you'll find thousands of gigapixel images, including ones taken at night, requireing long exposures (even if nothing near 6 mins)
no, but if the amplitude of the oscillation you are trying to measure is comparable to the amplitude of noise, you would be foolish to try and draw many conclusions about that oscillation, certainly without any error bars.
Also, there are plenty of sources of periodic noise, mains noise at 50/60hz is the prime example, but being periodic, its easy to account for.
Much more important is the lack of error bars, they are what you can use to decide if the difference is greater than noise. However since they seem to be confident enough to include a secondary maximum and minimum, we are led to assume that the error bars are rather small. Since TFA says the study looked at 52 million children over 12 years, it sounds fairly reasonable to suggest that error bars are relatively small w.r.t atleast the primary max an min.
Much romance surrounds travel by blimps/airships as they float gracefully through the air. But on watching that video, i have to say it it seems to be one of the least elegant take-offs (and landing) around.
The mentioned sale of goods act in the uk is an agreement at the point of sale. If a product violates it you need to take it up with the vendor, not the original manufacturor. I imagine it would then be up to the vendor to recover their costs from the manufacturor.

you only got 1TB in your chip? man you should see all the HD 4D holo video i can fit on my Exabyte implant.

I know homeopathy is bull-crap, i was going for funny based on the parent of the post in question, not flamebait
See, homeopathy works.

At 60,000USD, thats not for your home, its just a worktop Electron microscope for labs.

Excellent, now all the pirates will drop their old pirate friendly PSP and buy a GO. /sarcasm
but torrents are only for illegals!

free games for spare cycles/bandwidth? thats more interesting to me than that spidering stuff, how do i sign up?
you can, only its going to cost you $30 instead of $300.

c.f The effect that the wii has enabled on the casual games market.
In my experiance, LED bulbs have a very high faliure rate. Granted i got the cheapest ones i could find, but still...
