My wife bought a Chem set for my then 3 (now 4) year old son several weeks ago. After doing the relatively simple experiments he went around saying he wanted to do chemistry when he grew up for almost 2 weeks. Monday they did a second set of exeriments (creaitng a hydorscopic crystal from the results of the 1st experiment) and he got JUST as excited.
And now that he gets to see the 'mushy' crystals after they have absorbsed water in the air is is almost giddy.
There are still ways to teach our kids. Really we can only do it one parent at a time, some are beyond hope, but if you have nieces or nephews, if you have resonable relatives, convinvce them. Its a start. If you need to justify it beyond the idea of learning, tell them that Chemical Engineers will be in high demand because no one is teaching their kids. Money is always a good carrot for some parents.
someone @ te DoJ realizes that 41% of the resources being used on theoretical pedobears was a waste of money compared to people who could actually hurt the underlying infrastructure and cause millions if not billions of dollars in damage.
I know its not popular, but pedophiles dont do much harm in the big picture.
Everything posted above is spot on. Reasonable response to a major data theft due to sony not taking proper steps to secure their data. Wish I had a few dozen mod points.
you miss the scope of this. there is nothing to say that robotic missions would not need extra fuel. I posted above in more detail, but I can see missions which return from planets/moons to earth as options. Missions with multiple stops (all of jupiters/saturns moons being mapped in details would be awesome), LEO missions where you move around a lot but dont want to waste fuel mass carrying extra fuel mass (space planes, LEO cleanup vehicles, sattelites).
Also allows for small ships to go up the gravity well quickly. You still have to launch the fuel, but once it is in LEO, any vehicle can use it. Combine that with a system which allows space planes to connect to an external tank which never has to return to earth (rent-a-booster system) and you create a flexible system which optimizes the incredible cost of moving around in space. Both locally and interplanetary.
First, you are assuming the mission is manned, and thus the maxG=1 or close to it. If you take that assumption away you can have a much smaller mass and this acceleration can be increased.
A bigger problem for outside of lunar orbit is the fact that you would limit yourself to very specific trajectories. That would mean you either have a very small window or a much longer flight. Both of which are problematic for the purpose of decreasing flight time and increasing flexibility.
Parking the stations in orbit around moons or planets might be a good idea for machine which need to return to earth, as any vehicle would not need to have return trip fuel on board, cutting the fuel mass by 50%. It might also be good for missions that are multi stop in purpose. Of course the question is why you a rocket for such flights, what is the hurry?
The biggest use I can see is from LEO to GeoSync or from GeoSync to lunar orbit. Of course you still have the same amount of fuel to lift out of the gravity well regardless of whether it is part of the initial launch or gets the fuel later.
However, it does allow for much smaller launch/recovery vehicles and for smaller vehicles to refuel in orbit if the need arises. Space planes, satellites, maybe some vehicle for LEO cleanup which will have to use fuel to do its job. For those types of vehicles, reducing their mass during normal operations would actually save a lot of fuel in the long run because you would not have to move the fuel mass around as part of normal operations.
Which is more likely. That netflix is antagonistic toward android out of some vendetta, or that netflix is afraid of Google and their ability to marginalize netflix at some point?
Whats the difference between a conservative and a liberal.
Liberals want the government to fix everyones problems. Conservatives want the government to fix their problems. Everyone else is on their own.
dont believe me? Ask a conservative on SSN or medicare or farm subsidies or whatever government program they might get money from if they are ok losing their services. It is only the other guy who doesnt deserve it.
Agreed, our TAC experiences have been horrible in the last 2-3 years. We are fairly small (1200 users) but worldwide, and every time we want to get something fixed or new hardware it seems to take longer to get it done.
I think that is you asked all the people ranting in the posts above, most of them DO realize IT is a service. But IT is also the department responsible for the network and all machines on it. Legally and (since this is a hospital) ethically. We also have the experience to see the big picture.
Maybe there was a REASON IT didnt have this setup previously. Like laws and privacy and silly stuff like that.
I can understand the frustraiton, and applaud the technical knowledge behind the hack. But you dont put a hack into a produciton hospital network. Ever.
is why your IT guy is only asking for limited access. He should get fired straight up for that.
Even if you are not in the US and HIPPA does not apply, I am guessing your patients would not like this setup. At least not the ones who understood networks.
No, I think the GP was just trying to indicate that while the OP may have been innocent, there is a much greater chance that he is minimizing the impact of his actions during said riot to make a point.
"They haven't had the luxury of ignorance or the power to control information for many, many years"
Tell that to the people in Africa and South America. There is a reason that the Church is growing in areas of low educaiton and high ignorance and poverty. They share their brand of salvation and afterlife to make people feel better about their shitty lives now.
Same thing applies to Islam.
You never grew up in the church, you apparently are not familiar with their tactics. By 'warning' the faithful, they actually intend to scare those who may already be uncomfortable with using the web (older folks, the uneducated or undereducated, etc).
Make no mistake, this is a direct reaction to the sex scandals.
Before you start stomping on others for modding something, perhaps you should do a little legwork. I know this is slashdot, but judging the validity of the opinions of others invites a very negative response.
Yes it has helped GE tremendously. They paid 0 billion dollars in taxes on 14.2 billion dollars in profit last year and and has moved tens of thousands of jobs overseas since 2009. Lets lower the tax rate more!
When you can transfer high profit items like patents and software to subsidiaries overseas while keeping high cost items like legal departments and exec teams in the US you can game the tax system completely. You could raise the tax rate to 100% and you would still see many multinational companies making money.
Yet another example of how corporations get all the benifits of citizenship (actually more) but have the flexibility to avoid most if not all of the responsability.
Actually, minting your own currency is not illegal to my knowledge in the US. Only conterfitting federal US coinage and paper. The feds have the right to stop you from creating 'US' money, not 'Gerzel bucks'. If you can convince someone of their value it is valud money
While your conclusion is correct, the premise is wrong. the civil war WAS about slavery. The states rights issues associated with slavery were mearly an outcropping of the primary issue. If slavery had not existed, the civil war would not have occured. Perhaps you may have had another issue which would have instigated states to leave the union and the underlying questions of state vs federal power would have been answered then. But that is not a cause, it is an element of the underlying structure.
And since states right vs federal rights have been an ongoing issue since.....well the formation of the union, by your theory every conflict we have ever had as a union (civil rights, unions, federal regulation of the environment, etc etc etc) was a states rights issue.
that is because relogion and science are NOT the same studies. One is philosophy the other science. The creationists have altered the argument (a favorite of luddites and conservatives everywhere today) to imply or outright state that the two fields are related. When in reality they have nothing to do with each other.
Additional point, any scientist who refuses to provide data from a study or experiment is generally ignored by the scientific community at large. Stupid media folks might give them some attention but real scientists either ignore them or ridicule them for quackery.
Except that he is right. As someone going through a PCI compliance audit right now I can tell you that while it is not illegal, PCI almost has more power over vendors. They can remove your ability to process credit cards. No large vendor in their right mind would cross them.
In a day to day sense, nuclear power is almost as cheap and FAR cleaner than oil. Have you ever lived near an oil refinery? Much less a well? I used to pass one every week going to and form work. It smelled, and left a smile on your car if you stayed more than a few hours. How safe can THAT be to live near. Here is aquick report. I cant speak the the numbers but it gives you a good idea of the impact.
I worked on a naval nuclear reactor while in the Navy. I was a chemistry and RadCon tech. I understand the science and risks better than you do. Sorry if that sounds eilitist, but its true. Just because radiation is involved does not mean it is evil.

The only reason I still have TV is sports. If I could find a way to consistantly get HD football and hockey online I would drop it in a second.
