The henge itself was a collaboration between the mining dept and the physics dept. Physics got involved to make sure it was accurate. After all, the original is several thousand years out of date. Whenever you see a show describing it, they usually talk about how they had to model where the sun was in the sky at the time when Stonehenge was in active use, and by-golly, it worked. UMR's henge works correctly as a solar calendar calibrated for now.
Kind of an interesting project, and one of those sort of distinctive things around the campus.
Not like the ugly pink bathroom signs. (Previous link, beneath the UMR henge.)
Because apparently "The People", which means "The People" in the first, fourth, and ninth amendments means something else when applied to the second.
A well regulated militia means every male between 16 and 60 who isn't unfit for physical or psychological reasons. Some people seem to think that a militia (Bill of Rights, 1787) means the National Guard (Created 1917). And by the way, "assualt rifles", being the types of firearm carried by most of the armed soldiers of the world, is explicitly what the second amendment is about.
Aircraft carriers are all about force projection. Puffing up our chests and displaying as well as having power.
What I think we will see more of in the future is non-aircraft use of aircraft carriers. During the Afghanistan campaign, I recall that one US carrier posted in ?Japan? left without most of it's aircraft, and was instead used as a base of operations for special forces.
It used to be that a carrier with no aircraft was just a big boat. Now it's seen as a large piece of US territory which the administration can park anywhere it damn well pleases. Good thing or bad thing, carriers are useful for more than just planes.
So how then does one play a game without paying for a processor? If a mandatory payment isn't a tax, then how do you define the word "tax"?
Simple. It's part of the REQUIREMENTS for the game. I'm sorry if you believe that Rockstar should rewrite old games for free, for your OS of choice, but really, get off the/. love train of bashing MS.
Oh yeah, the Micro$oft thing is played out. Your prejudices are clear enough without the $ sign.
Or a lurker/reaver drop on their gathering units, or a psystorm on their rally points, or mind controlling half their battleships for fratricide, or more than half to simply turn them around back into the enemy's teeth, defilers in the front lines so their attacking units can't target anything, defensive nuking, or the ultimate in interspecies cooperation with valkyries, carriers, and a d-matrixed arbitor assigned to a group of guardians for damn near unstoppable death from above.
There are tons of strange, weird, and interesting things you can do in SC, alot of teams just aren't balanced enough to get that far, or play on maps that are far too small for the number of people playing.
As an amateur silversmith, I might have a suggestion. You may wish to write off to the Rio Grande jewelry company, and get their tools catalogue. You can get nitric acid, boric acid, as well as some other nice solvents in solid form to be reconstituted. And they are CHEAP. There is still the hazmat shipping fee, but being much lighter than liquids, it is correspondingly less.
You can't share the information that you pay for from them. If you want to look through the code and write your own docs, then of course you are perfectly free to.
But these people took the time to document on their own, and they sell the knowledge about the software that they have attained. What is so goddamn wrong about that?
O'Reilly does it all the time, and now, because this company's documents aren't bound up into a book you don't think that they should have copyright on them?
The source is free, documentation is free, but this company, which supplies documentation doesn't do it for free. That's their right.

If you look at the advanced mecha, and at the statues that were around the offices of the mecha production and design company (I don't remember the name), they look the same. It was this that convinced me after someone told me.
Yes. Centerfire deerhunting season only specifies that the firearm fires centerfire ammunition..357 with iron sights. Far more sporting that some chump with a scoped 30.06, though that takes skill too.
Handguns and rifles are also fun to shoot for target practice.
"it will be a cold day in hell before a proprietary cryptographic algorithm is going to be nearly as scrutinized as a publically available one."
The NSA is the largest employer of mathematicians and cryptographers in the world. World-class peer review is possible within the NSA. How many people peer review crypto? Honestly? This is the same argument used for Open Source software, and the same thing applies, plenty of people use it, and a few actually look over the source, if they break it, or find something they don't like. I would bet that more people look over NSA internal crypto than have looked over most public source crypto. In addition, the people looking at NSA source are all qualified individuals, people who know an S-Box from their asshole.
The NSA is consistantly 10-20 years ahead of the private and scholastic sector. The NSA for example was involved in the creation of the S-boxes for DES. While many people argued that the NSA would weaken the algorithm in an attempt to make it more easily crackable, only later was it discovered that the original boxes were vulnerable to an attack that had not even been discovered by the non-government sector.
You may not trust the NSA, but their in-house review is as good and better than anything you will find elsewhere, even in the much-vaunted open-source community.
Hmmm, not using a Mac since '91 I can understand your confusion. You need to get to the nearest up to date Apple user you can find and check out OSX. BSD core and command line with a great window manager interface, what all the free Unixes have tried, and failed to deliver. You get your non-DRM hardware, and your BSD. You can't beat it.
Except for the fact that IBM has a competing product. IBM can like open source all they want, but they would be stupid to promote something that does for free, what they sell a product to do.
I see nothing in this article that shows what exactly a physical paradigm would do better than a desktop one. Truthfully, I don't think desktop when I'm on a box, it's just hierarchically organized folders. Which makes alot of sense to me.
Because, the quote was not easily identifiable as such. If you read the explanation, you would see that because of the perl mishap, only the first line showed up, so instead of:
I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness.

What the administrators saw was:

Which is not obviously a quote. Really, someone had a webpage about the school that mentioned concealing a weapon. Calling the cops after a staff member explained everything was wrong, but ignoring something like that would be just stupid.
Whee! Just what the world needs, intimacy without social interaction. This is great, can we have machines have sex for us too? For the enjoyment of it? Part of the fun IS the chase.

The University of Missouri Rolla has had a 1/2 scale replica of Stonehenge since the 1970's. It was cut out using water jets that the mining department and the engineering research lab had been working on.
