Well, Egypt is not an oil exporter, but it did cut subsidies on oil. Prices at the pump were raised this weekend by 78%. The only reason why this can be done is Egypt just had a year of 'Muslim Brotherhood' rule, a revolution to overturn their rule, and a population that is willing to accept everything as long as the government will keep the MB at bay. So the speech president Obama held in the beginning of his first term in Cairo in which he told Mubarak his time was up and the MB would be the new representatives of the peoples may have had at least one good side effect.
This looks much more like a police operation. A couple of years ago a small nondescript trailer was parked in Amsterdam to observe a meeting between two criminals. One of those started a shooting spree and the police officers inside the trailer were lucky not to be hit. They couldn't get out of the trailer from the inside quick enough to chase them. There probably is a notorious criminal living within sight there. The Ziggo employees were irresponsible in publicizing this. Ziggo is a cable company.
In the city of Groningen (pop. 200.000) in The Netherlands the cable company has split each wifi access point of almost all subscribers into two different wifi access points. The subscriber uses one frequency, the other can be used by all subscribers in the country, using their own username and password. It works very well, even if you walk or cycle on the street, your smartphone or tablet will keep the connection as you move from one subscriber to the next.
The phone company meanwhile is busy upgrading most of the country to glass fibre.
Serious, first thing to look for a thermal is the local town, absent mountains or hills. A large parking lot already does do fine. I know of a military airport which has a cemetary nearby, the dense black marble is sufficient.
Absolutely, it is just an attempt by the cable company to keep it's customers from going to the competition for commercial reasons. The cable company does not have a cellular phone network and in this way tries to add functionality to compensate for that. It might become an interesting development.
In the city of Groningen, The Netherlands, population 180,000, the cable company has converted the wireless routers of most of the subscribers into dual private and open Wi-Fi access points. Almost all subscribers agreed to participate. In return the subscribers can use each others access points using their own username and password. As you walk or cycle down the street the connection stays permanent as you move from one access point to the next. Both the cable company and the wireless phone operators are in fierce competition with asymmetrical infrastructure. This move by the cable company seems to be designed to undercut the need for 3G/4G access for tablets and smartphones. There are plans to roll out this new type of usage throughout the country.
The Hubble Telescope has done great science. It's successor in time is the James Webb Telescope but the Webb is designed to scan the sky in a very different part of the spectrum. The Atlas Telescope is supposed to be it's successor in functionality. The design goal for the Atlas Telescope is more than three orders of magnitude better than Hubble. We better spend our money on such a telescope than on a Hubble v 1.1.
OK, this guy was widely respected as one of the top hackers of the world. Smoked a lot of pot for some time but later abstained and he remained on top of the game. But he died at the age of 54 because of a haemorrhage of the stomach. To counter the effects of previous marijuana use he had to take quite some prescription drugs that in turn damaged his stomach.
A good coder gets his kicks of writing good code I believe.
The sole reason Europe has not gone down the drain is the good stewardship and cooperation of Merkel in Germany and Sarkozy in France. Freaky Wilders in The Netherlands just wiped himself out of politics the day before you made your comment.
If Hollande wins the elections in France it will no longer be Paris and Berlin helping Athens and Rome out of their problems but just Berlin having to provide for the three other governments and Madrid. I doubt the Germans are willing to do that and I am sure they cannot do that. Lots of troubles ahead of Europe.
There are many countries in Europe with pretty different standards of living. There are differences between standards of living between US states as well. Most European countries are on par with a US state in standard of living, population size and/or geographical size. Each country in Europe is able to obtain the same standard of living as a US state using 30% less oil.
European economies are optimized for energy efficiency. The US would do itself a great service, and the rest of the world a favour if it would shift it's taxes from income taxes to higher taxes on gas.
I have no problems to pay $10 a gallon. If I fill up my car it costs about $100 (10-11 gallons). I still consider it cheap. I just wished more of that money paid would go to my own government rather than foreign oil exporters like Iran and Saudi-Arabia.
When Kennedy launched the moon program he multiplied the space budget by a substantial number. Newt does not propose to increase the budget. This moon base thing has little science value compared to projects like the ATLAS space telescope. Such projects will be the first to be axed to make room for this low value show off that his moon base program is.
The models that we are using today to describe the universe are hopelessly inadequate. In my view there is no Higgs boson. A whole lot of stuff that we consider fundamental today in reality should be derived from underlying properties. Mass and gravity as most noticeable examples. There is no Higgs, but keep looking so that everyone else can be convinced it does not exist.
Roundabouts replacing crossings in The Netherlands are claimed to have been the major contributing factor behind the reduction of traffic casualties, going from the lowest in the world to by far the lowest in the world, when measured against traffic volume. There are now about 800 fatal casualties per year on a population of 16 million people. The amount of fatal casualties is about 8 people per 1 billion kilometers. (= 12 people per billion miles)
Japan and The Netherlands also stick to building new reactors. They at least learned the right lesson, we need to build reactors that are more inherently safe. Only Germany doesn't stay the course. That is primarily the result of cultural fights in the eighties in Germany that defined some generations.
When Three Miles Island went down, there was no significant release of radiation, but the public reaction was based on it's fears, rather than on the reports. That is a natural thing happening in other areas as well. When Chernobyl happened, that was much worse than a reactor melt down, the reactor was designed as an enormous dirty bomb. Fukushima is the first real nuclear full scale disaster. And look, hardly any casualties, just an enormous financial burden. Even if a Fukushima incident happens every year it would be roughly on par with coal burning power plants running steady.
Since RMS consequently rejects any piece of software that restricts his rights or movements, the only right thing to do would be to reject the Arab invitation to visit the former British mandate of Palestine. Of course the Israeli invitees then should pick up the tab to pay for his travel expenses to Israel. The Israelis did not restrict RMS's whereabouts and should be lauded for their policy of sticking to freedom for all, including the Arabs.
Your grandfather did not. This claim has been made over and over again. This claim is only made by people who do not understand the basics of economics and people who have never introduced a product to the market or maintained a market presence against a competition. The reality is that a continuous stream of inventions and technological advancements hit the market and make engines more efficient. Some of that gain is used up by adding more luxury items to cars like air conditioning etc. Every car company that good get hold of a much improved engine will use it in new car models.
There is no reason to assume a closer tie between English and Dutch than any of the other languages spoken in Western Europe. But the small country that has always thrived on international business has a strong orientation on foreign languages. Most high school students have to learn four modern languages (Dutch, English, German and French or Spanish) and optionally two ancient languages (Latin and Greek). With a foreign language you also get a deeper insight in other cultures, giving you a better perspective on business deals.
These 'leaks' are just the usual carefully crafted agitprop that we have come used to in the mainstream media. Anyone who wants to be informed about the details of the many power struggles in the Middle-East reads academic journals, follows the statements by the foreign ministries closely, and corresponds with the negotiators, which is surprisingly easy and informative. The fact that the mainstream media fails to inform the public well is caused by human inability to grasp the consequences of other societies (America, Europe, Middle-East) being different in structure. Both the inability of journalists as well as readers/watchers.
The only real problem upholding an agreement between Israel and the Arab population in the former British mandate of Palestine are neighboring countries of which the leadership cannot tolerate a democratic flourishing Arab state, because it would undermine the stability of their own rule. We once had a semi democratic Arab state that did well, which was Lebanon. We all know how that was finished by rulers like al-Assad.
Once the price of oil gets below $25 a barrel for a sustained period of time, countries like Iran will no longer be able to spend billions of dollars per year in destabilizing Gaza and the West Bank and other territories. It is horrible to see that the governments in Europe and the US fail to address their opponents in the Middle-East, while a few dictators find our weak spots consistently and exploit them to the fullest.

The Israeli intelligence community has stated it's viewpoint. http://www.debka.com/article/8742/ They don't want the Russians to sell this weapon on the market. Whatever your thoughts on the Israeli intelligence community, it is always good to read and understand their opinion.

No, this rupture of the diaphragm itself had been caused by applying too much force on a super sized electrical drill while drilling a hole in a concrete ceiling three months earlier.

And conclude that the article has very little science value at all, and does not warrant any conclusion.
