Its much worse than that. A parent can lead the child on in a way that the child *believes* its true. Even at quite old ages (~10) this is true and makes children's testimony very unreliable. This has come out after some child abuse cases. But heres the real rub. Leading statements like "did he do this to you", and "did he touch you there", has strong effects on our imagination. At all ages we can has some sort of experience from situations that we imagine. At a young age we often can't distinguish between real and imaged situations. They child not only believes it happened, but is traumatized in the same way as if it really happened.
I don't have the references handy and i can't be bothered looking them up. But a few high profile cases have turned out to be total BS because one partner assumed, led the child on, and got the courts rolling on it. However there would be physical trauma related to the accusations. There was none. It never happened.
Interesting link. I don't think this is troll, just pointing out that *different* behaviors in children under different situations are -- well --normal. Like getting a few locals you don't like killed in a witch hunt? Perhaps.
So what is the UV source (Excimer laser?) and what optical elements are you using. Its it mostly reflective or are there materials sutable for deep UV? Sorry but the website is the typical marketing tripe.
I really think that money would be better spent helping all of you coders out there in creating a language/compiler programing paradigm that can use 12 threads efficiently for something beyond rendering GTA..
I have zero problems using all 512 cores on our cluster. I also have no problems using all 6 cores at home too. We have been doing parallel programing for decades. If the coder can't code for it, the problem is between the seat and the keyboard.
My impression is that in research, being selfish with data and patenting things is the exception, not the norm...
It depends on the field, and the person. Medical science is the worst of the lot. Not only are a lot of the studies total crap, but they treat every little thing as a billion dollar a year patentable thing. Seriously we have been waiting for months for some data from a company but are still waiting for all the NDA to be signed. And we get paid *by the month* while we are working on the project.
In other fields its very cooperative. But you also get some very paranoid scientist.
Fact is that opengl/DX and the hardware to back it up, have made solid 3d engines much easier to write at an acceptable standard. Quake 1 came out before we all had hardware 3d. Hell it was very influential to creating that market. Writing something that *worked* at all was hard. All the original iD titles pushed hardware to the edge and did things others just couldn't replicate. Its not then anymore.
Thats how i played. In our wet basement too (seriously). My wife and daughter would sneak down the stairs and scare the crap out of me. I really liked Doom 3. I also really liked quake 4 (single player for both). For serious fraging however, quake 3 is still on the money.
And some cultures found owning land equally absurd as some find owning "intellectual property". I believe the native Americans just couldn't see how you could claim to own land any more than you can claim to own the sky or the sea.
Of course these days there is the concept of owning the sea and sky... at least as far as a country is concerned.
Personally I am for balance. The argument that IP is just new and shouldn't exists is about as lame as land ownership didn't exist for cave men and shouldn't exist. However there are clear problems of balance with the current system.
In Vienna we have traditional coffee shops. If you want to you can stay all day with one coffee. It even expected. You will never be asked to leave before closing time. We have had free wifi for at least 5+ years.
Space enthusiasts don't want to hear this sort of thing. They want to hear that an asteroid has 20 trillion of metals in it. Or that He3 is on the moon and could power pretend fusion reactors (never mind the 0.01ppm).
The best reason for a "manned" base on the moon right now it tourism, not science.
But its not all bad. Sooner or later things like fusion and fully automated construction (eventually also in space) will happen. Then building some kind of Standford tours or other such thing, just for fun, will be possible. Think about how far we have come in the last 100 years! Think about how much we now spend on fun!

This is America. Its been that way for a long time....
Perhaps if the routers weight the same as a duck perhaps?

Well these days we would say you had undiagnosed ADHD.

Its not the stress from school however. Its all the gossip, texting and stuff too each other on their new all expensed paid iphones.
There have been and always will be vandals.
Thanks--all very helpful and interesting.
I was under the impression that ARM does pretty well in mobile devices compared to x86.

What about "Computers can do that?"
Quite frankly I don't care what the universe does when I'm gone. I care about what i get to do in this universe while I am here.
..and as travel outside the solar system is impossible..
Wrong. Try again.
you just solved Fermi's Paradox!

I thought we have established in the other story, that all problems Afghan related are Assanges fault.
Yes... I just noticed on another post. I read 20 per month. \me feels sheepish..
Oh. My bad. I read 20 per month... not 20 per day.
Its not something they have to fix, if its a disease... Its also not their fault for the behavior its causes...
But if they are not sick... then there would responsibility attached to the behavior pattern.
I however think that regardless, there is a responsibility attached to the behavior patten.
