Given that both types exist, it seems odd to claim that that nuclear fusion reactions are orthogonal to break even energy production.
It wouldn't be odd at all... that's exactly what orthogonal means - breakeven energy production and fusion reactions are independent. You can get breakeven energy production without fusion, and fusion without breakeven energy production.... thus they're orthogonal.
I don't want to be mean, but if the submitter "took everything through AP Calculus in high school" and still "had [his] butt kicked by college calculus", then I can only conclude that the AP Calculus class he was in was a total joke.
I wonder WTF they taught the kids in the regular Calculus class...
Are all AP courses that crappy?
If you think of a 5 on an AP exam as an A (which it tries to model) in the college class, and a 3 as a C, it's clear that most people taking AP classes aren't doing well on the exam.
It's not AP's problem that 40% of the students who even take the exam don't even get a C.
Corporations do not pay taxes. The customers of the corporations pay the tax.
Only when customers want to buy a fixed amount of the product irrespective of its price. When customers are price sensitive, increasing the price to offset the tax will cause some customers to decide not to buy the product, which reduces revenues and profits since the company isn't selling as much. This affects profits, so the shareholders pay for it, and they may eventually change their cost structure, causing the company's suppliers to pay for it.
Who pays the tax is called the tax incidence (wikipedia), and it's easy to compute from the supply and demand curves.
You are wrong because you start from the false premise that one can and will get one's name on a target list for no reason.
And the constitution still provides for due process of law, where the only reason I can end up on a target list to be eligible for punishment of a crime is for a court of law to rule that I belong there, not merely for an intelligence agency or even the President to decide on their own.
Ah! So if I take a vacation to Pakistan, where travel is not restricted, and then someone claims I'm one of "such people" who you claim "always carry a gun", then I can be shot, without due process?
Drones regularly kill people who are driving in cars, not actively engaged in battle (even if they are at war), or providing an imminent threat.
If I go outside the country and someone accuses me of murder, that doesn't give the FBI the right to track me down, find me unarmed, and kill me without a trial.
Once the armed robber puts the gun down, they certainly do have a right to due process. They aren't fair game to be shot by police two weeks later when they're walking to the grocery store unarmed, even if they plan to rob again.
No - the question is whether or not the claim that they are serving with foreign enemies of this Republic needs to be established at trial, with due process of law.
The ALCU is probably looking for "due process of law".
If these people wanted due process of law they should have remained on American soil and not enlisted in the service of foreign organizations that are trying to murder American soldiers and civilians.
You mean: "allegedly enlisted in the service of foreign organizations that are trying to murder American soldiers and civilians."
In other words, part of what determines the value is a component of random noise.
In other words, the series is random. Not uniform, not brownian motion, etc., but a random process nonetheless.
That webpage may state that algorithms are not patentable, but our courts disagree. See, for example,
[findlaw.com]:
"The court's analysis did not stop there, however. The Court further stated that mathematical algorithms were not a type of subject matter expressly prohibited by  101; rather, unpatentable types of mathematical algorithms represent laws of nature, natural phenomena and abstract ideas. The proper test for determining whether a claim is unpatentable, the court said, is "whether the claimed subject matter as a whole is a disembodied mathematical concept. . . which in essence represents nothing more than a 'law of nature,' 'natural phenomenon,' or 'abstract idea.'" The court said that a claim directed to a combination of interrelated elements' recites a specific machine, not a disembodied concept."
Actually, he was President of Diebold Election Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Diebold... a slight oversight, but not as simply wrong as you make it out to be (and it's understandable how one might confuse it with the parent company). See for example http://web.archive.org/web/20030811034309/www.diebold.com/news/newsdisp.asp?id=2915.
The graphs look the same to me, for the equivalent time period.... the graph you provided is the same when you look at the price from 1980 to present in Real Dollars (Real Dollars are inflation-adjusted, which is what the parent's graph presented).
I don't know, really. I'm not sure it's that clear cut. I imagine that if X fills up with lots of processes, you'd get fragmentation of memory. By having Y around and used agressively, you'd have, as a side effect, a simple automatic "defragmentation zone". Of course, I don't know, just guessing. But maybe someone on/. can comment.
I see no reason to believe that memory fragmentation is a bad thing. Unlike filesystems, where you have chains of extents, essentially a linked list, which has linear performance for data access based on the number of extents, memory lookup is based on a multi-tiered set of arrays, called page tables, and access time is always constant (with respect to fragmentation at least), no matter how badly fragmented it is.
UTF-8, which IDNC3 uses, is merely an alternate encoding of the Unicode character set. Thus, his proposal uses Unicode and still has said problem. And he doesn't seem to justify his assertion that "PunyCode" is any worse than UTF-8, and personally I can't see how it is.
for Linux and FreeBSD, use sendfile (man 2 sendfile). Note that the call takes different parameters on each of the platforms... but it is the same thing, more or less, as TransmitFile.
Not to mention that Kerberos has been un-"embraced-and-extended" in Windows 2000 service pack 2 and is now compatible with MIT's. Don't chalk up to malice what you can to incompetence.
As he said, and as is clear on www.handspring.com, the specs are out there. You don't even need to register or ask for them, they're just on the website. He just doesn't understand them.
Machines using hot standby IPs are in the same place, however. And what if for some reason the machine stops accepting mail, but is detected as "up"? Hot standby IPs are nice but other machines should also be accessible at other IPs

Nonetheless national debt did shrink as a percent of GDP under his tenure. Oh, and when we state something as a matter of fact, please cite data sources. Historical Debt (U.S. Treasury). Debt as percent of GDP.

All states have use tax (read the article). The only part that's new is having a line on the tax return.

linux's pthreads use clone. they are kernel threads. read the source.

Same goes for Solaris, Java, etc. etc... just about any mainstream commercial software product.
They also have a lifetime warranty... check the box.
And if it is in the public domain, the US government also has the rights to use it as such and incorporate it into their proprietary system.

Doesn't do it for me. you must have a buggy video driver - which was estimated to cause 65%+ of lockups in NT4, probably more in win2k
