The characters for "se" are the same. In fact, there meanings are the same. "Form", "color" and "lust" are all different meanings derived from the root meaning.
This is very parallel to the English word "sensation". "Sensual" has an erotic connocation, but "sensation", which is really the same word, can just refer to "sense data".
"Qing" by itself has the same erotic meaning that "passion" has in English. Passion can be used to refer to anything from religion to sex, but it does have at least some connoctations of sexuality.
It is "se qing", with se being a word meaning "form", but also meaning "lust". Qing means "passion". not neccesarily in a sexual sense, but sometimes in that way. So together, se qing means "pornographic".
Well, of course 1.8 Ghz isn't enough. Until computers crossed the 2 GHz mark, it was impossible to run a basic word processor on them, or open up a web browser. Let alone any type of spread sheet program! Which is why until we got 2 GHz computers, basically we didn't have any type of office productivity in this country at all.
Interestingly psilocybin mushrooms, which I've also experimented with, along with LSD, have recently been shown to be very close to seritoninin their chemical makeup
This isn't the Legend of Zelda, and this isn't a secret to everyone. The indole ring structure in serotonin and the two drugs has been known for at least 40 years, possibly close to 60. The relationship between serotonin and the two in functionality has been known just as long, although exactly what the connection is is still not totally known.
I e-Mailed the people and told them this, and told them they shouldn't claim to be giving tests on information literacy, if they don't know how to develop a professional website.
For professional websites, you should use as much static html as possible. Flash should mostly be used for entertainment, especially the type of entertainment that appeals to stoned kids at 3 AM.
I think you need to rewrite your dynamic memory modules so they don't get corrupted by the electron oscillation in the cross-channelled capacitors. The problem is, all these operating systems use different sizes of electrons. You have to use a virtual compiler to reinstate the Java Virtual Machine on an ISA Port, and that will enable your electrons to recalibrate. As you know, the monitor works with an electron gun. Your different size electrons are probably hitting the monitor at the same time, and the wave function is collapsing on the epsilon-null equation and causing them to cancel out.
'd say they are equal if you discount price, which this survey did.
Price isn't the only aspect of the idea of licensing software. I think many people don't realize how easy it is to get hardware, and how fluid the hardware situation can be.
Say you have some people doing a data entry job. Say that for whatever reason, you have a sudden excess of data that needs to be entered. With a Linux set up, you could take an old computer, put together a terminal, and have someone enter data for a day, and then you can throw that computer back in a closet. With Windows, you would need to buy a seperate license for that computer, even if you were using it for a day. Similiar situations exist all over, from small jobs like this, to someone who might have a temporary spike in web traffic for a week, and needs another server to cover it. Dealing with the technicalities of getting a license for these things would be somewhere between a nuisance, and a threat (if you do it wrong).
Many people, especially in management, wouldn't realize this is a problem, because they grew up in an era when your computer hardware was too heavy and rare to move. Now, when you could get a P-266 off of a pile, or at a garage sale, and turn it into a backup webserver in one hour, the entire idea of licensing specific computers makes less sense.
Typical monthly salaries in Taiwan are from 500-1500 dollars. Prices there are often much cheaper (ie a two bedroom apartment in the city is 200-300 dollars), and when that is factored in, the people in Taiwan have a standard of living that is about equal to Americans, and exceeds it in some ways.
Although the jury is still out on the effects of the normal radiation coming out of a CRT, its no doubt that they are a big environmental hazard. Ever picked up a monitor? Notice how heavy they are? Do you know what causes them to be that heavy? An average monitor has something between 20-40 pounds of leaded glass in it. Of that, between 5-10 pounds are lead. Monitors dropped into the waste stream will eventually start leaking out lead into water supplies.
No, because::: wink wink:::, there is still self created and non-copyrighted recordings that people create and share. (I actually have some of these up on my website)
Of course, I am sure that they are suggesting large scale file transferring with no regards to ownership. Of course, they aren't actually saying that, just suggesting it.
But how is that different from P2P programs, which are just suggested for the same use? They don't. Once P2P gets cracked down on, they will have to move on to broadband, and so on. Until finally they are suing electricity providers.
From my personal experience, I have added pages to my personal website, and the google spider usually hits them later that same day, and usually they show up under search results later the same week. YMMV.
I guess I will keep up this discussion until Slashdot closes the article.
What I mean by field is an unchanging backdrop in which physical changes can occur. You can imagine an area, and you can imagine it having various different "things" placed inside of it. Or, for that matter, you can imagine it being totally devoid of things. In both cases, the field itself doesn't change, it just lies underneath. Space is a field like this. Space has properties, even if all matter was removed. It has two types of properties: tautological, and accidental. For example, in space, the rules of geometry will always remain the same, even if there was no matter at all in it. Presumably, even in a universe without matter or energy, the underlying field of space would still have accidental properties, such as the speed of light, and the constant of gravity, even with nothing to do with them. While we could imagine that perhaps changes in matter could affect such things as the speed of light or gravity, I don't think we could imagine that even if all the matter in the universe was removed, pi would change its value. Also, while we can imagine an "empty" universe with no matter in it, I don't think we could imagine matter, existing where there is no space "behind" it. This is the basic metaphysical distinction between field and matter. It may or may not be true, but it seems to be how people think.
It's too late, but the basic distinction between field and matter, is that matter can change, but the field can't. You can convert matter into energy, but you can't convert matter into making pi=4. This may seem obvious, but it is probably so obvious that we don't think about it.
Can I picture a world in which a pair of dice would come up as 12s as often as they would come up 7s? Why, yes, I can. I might not be able to picture the reasoning behind this phenomenea, but I can still picture the phenomenea.
True enough, but I still wouldn't say that entropy is an a priori idea. We can imagine a world where broken dishes fly together. Entropy is something we learn from experience, not from reasoning.
I spend a good amount of time dealing with hardware, so I am not totally ignorant of these things, but I really don't know what the difference is between any of the Pentium line, internally. I know that the Pentium was socket based, and most Pentium-IIs and IIIs were slot based, and the P-IV is back to being socket based. And the Pentium Pro was (physically) the largest chip that Intel made. But I don't really know what the internal differences are, and I think in many cases they might be exaggerated. I remember seeing a "User Friendly" strip where they showed the P-III assembly line...and it was a machine etching an extra line after Pentium-II.
Learning in Asian countries isn't just a matter or rote and following authorities. Taiwan has a great educational system, and Taiwan is a free country, with vigorous (to say the least) political debate at every level. Students there learn because they like it. They don't just learn in school, you can also take a walk through a park in Taiwan on a Sunday and see people learning how to juggle, play baseball, do kung fu, fly model airplanes, dance, play basketball, play chess, train pigeons...
When I went to study Chinese in Taiwan, I was in a small class with four other students, all Japanese. I thought that they were going to be robots, always ready with the entire lesson memorized, and they were going to leave me looking like a pathetic lazy American.
I was certainly suprised when most of the students would regularly show up ten minutes late to class. The teacher, who was Chinese, wasn't terribly punctual either, but we still had a great class.
So, all of those rumors about Japanese kids all being super studious...they aren't neccesarily true.
If you look at what the "big ticket" items are in the US economy, electronics and medicine are up at the top of the list. And the reason for this is, as you get closer to perfection, it takes more and more of an economic cost, in terms of money or resources or time or effort. For a computer or a medicine to go from 90 percent to 99 percent utility means a ten fold increase in price. Thats why the constant quest to have "perfect" electronics and medicine is driving up the prices of these things to the point where normal people can't afford them. If we could accept that we didn't always need new, perfect, shiny medicines and electronics, it would put them in a sane price range.
At Free Geek , we use nothing else. Of course, since we are a Linux only shop, our other choice is...Abiword. It works very well for all our in house needs, which are mostly spreadsheets and word processing.
