I think that you need to go into a locked room with the guy upthread who uses the same data to prove that the universe is only 5000 years old. such discrepancies cannot be allowed to persist, so only one of you two gets out alive.

I have a hard time believing they could be so stupid.
I don't have a problem believing it.
I'm seriously considering shutting down my Linked-In account because of the amount of idiots using it who are stupid enough to send me recruitment spam, despite me saying very explicitly in my CV that I'm not looking for work. Way to prove that you don't read the CVs of people you try to sell your recruitment services to!
Besides, as phrased, the prosecutors can perfectly well not be seeking the death penalty. But once the prosecution is assured, you just change prosecution lawyers mid-stream (checking expected retirement dates may tell you the end date for the trial ; otherwise, there is good old "illness") for ones who will seek the death penalty.
You don't seriously believe that they'd leave a liability like Manning around to embarrass them in 50 years time?
He's facing execution, and he knows it. Whether that is after a semblance of due process, or just a good old extra-judicial killing is really only a trivial detail.
but a P4 running at even 150W vs a stripped down 25W E350 at a system level saves you about $.40 per 24 hours.
And when you have to turn the heating power back up by a hundred watts... what precisely have you gained?
(The original poster didn't indicate his climate region. Here, there is some degree of heating on for 8-10 months of the year, and the windows are rarely opened. So the heat chucked out of the back of the office PC is a non-trivial component of the heating budget. If you have air conditioning, your sums may be different.)

I went through the difficult process of checking out the FAQ on Uwingu's website:
8. What kind of research, education, and exploration programs will Uwingu fund?
Many kinds! Some will be strategically selected by Uwingu, and others will be proposed by scientists, educators, and others around the world and selected after peer review. To be responsive to the needs of researchers, educators, and others around the world involved in space work, Uwingu will be looking to fund travel grants, project grants, educator grants, and researcher grant. As long as the proposal is for involves space research, education, or exploration, it will be considered. Learn more on our âoeFor Grant Applicantsâ and âoeCalls for Proposalsâ pages!
a possible, natural mechanism to give "life" energy without the "irreducibly complex" enzymes for breaking ATP down.
... while alternative scenarios for OOL such as the acid-smoker theory (WÃchtershÃuser, Russell and various others; it's popular) sidestep this by having an external energy source (the proton gradient between acid hydrothermal water and neutral-to-alkaline seawater) while metabolism and heredity develop, and an energy-processing system can work up later which would allow "proto-life" to move away from the hot smokers.
This is an interesting piece of work. It may be a relevant component in the problem. But it's not a "final solution" to the problem.
The lawsuits from people injured in Chelyabinsk are heading towards your church even as we speak. Thank you for your allegation ; police investigation for "reckless endangerment" and multiple other crimes will ensue.
What I want to know is this --- How come those exotic minerals exist in space rocks but not on planet Earth ?
The specific mineral in question, schreibersite, is an iron-nickel phosphide. It's not stable in contact with water. Not many phosphides are (doing a memory check... I can't think of any that are ; there are reports of nickel phosphide being prepared under "mild hydrothermal" conditions, but the other side of that equilibrium has elemental phosphorous, which is not a natural situation).
So, if you had any significant amount of (say) schreibersite, near the Earth's surface, then it would have decomposed in a geologically negligible time. How old is Sikhote-Alin? Fell in 1947 ; negligible age. The schreibersite in the Disko Island deposits... firstly it's in a very cold environment (standard chemist's rule of thumb : 10 degrees centigrade hotter ; double the reaction rate) ; and with it being in a periglacial area it's period of exposure is unlikely to be much more than 5 to 10 thousand years ; negligible.
In a corollary to the BitCoin version of Godwin's law proposed just upthread, I might add another automatic law proposal : whenever someone mentions that $OBJECT$ has an intrinsic value, and therefore forms the ideal basis for a currency, then they get pointed at Larry Niven's Modest Proposal.
For those who aren't familiar with it, Larry proposes using high-grade radioactive waste as a currency : it'll remain in circulation (otherwise the miser dies) ; authenticity is easy to establish (pocket Geiger counter).
... so that there could be an eternity of torment waiting for the Bitch of Grantham.
I just wish she had more moments of lucidity during which she'd woken up to realise she'd just shat herself in public, again. But we'll have to make do with having a fucking good party to celebrate the bitch's death.
There's only one interesting question about this : what OS does it run on, or what other platform (JS, Java, whatever)?
Security firm Kaspersky discovered the threat, which it names Trojan.Win32.Jorik.IRCbot.xkt,
Assuming that Kaspersky are not complete and utter idiots, and that the Win32 element of the name means what it normally means, I have no further interest in the story.
Theoretically, they could just provide a decryption key to a LEO, and that wouldn't be legally considered an accusation.
Hmmm, that creaking sound is the thinness of the legal ice under your feet. A decryption key alone really isn't much use, unless it is accompanied by some indication of who the key is for. At which point, you've got an accusation. Very thin ice.
I may have an understanding problem, but although I see huge amounts of advertising for "Use our App", justified by "You've got to use our App", and backed up by "If you don't use our App, you have a small penis and B.O." ; none of these assertions disturb me at all.
With the possible exception of "timetable" type applications... and 90% of the time even then... I still fail to see the urgency.
So, what is so urgent?
Has there been an App bubble, and if so, when did it start or stop?
When using a site that implicitly (or explicitly, it's probably in the FAQ somewhere) caters to Americans,
It doesn't need to be in a FAQ, it's in the URL. The URL is not slashdot.org.us but slashdot.org ; so it is not explicitly anything to do with the USA, or any other country. It is a pan-national forum, explicitly.
It's not about being polite, it's about being expedient so people don't have to re-read your comment multiple times.
Being polite requires reading people's posts multiple times. All attentive consideration of someone's writing requires you, the reader, to read it multiple times. Particularly if you intend to comment upon the posting.

I sometimes feel like drilling an oil well to China, but I don't do it when I don't have an oil rig under my control because I don't have an oil rig to drill to China with. However, when I am in control of an oil rig, I resist the temptation to drill to China because it's just not a terribly good idea.

OK ; interest lost. Has anyone brought ou any good games in the last 20 years?
