If you're actually programming on "bare metal", you're not really using DOS, are you? After all, DOS is an operating system -- a layer between your code and the hardware.
*Although with electricity being all one grid, at my last place I had the option to buy my electricity from a "renewable energy" company. It cost more, but I'm guessing that had more to do with it's source than with any fee they paid to the owner of the powerlines.
This is more obvious in our part of the country, where supply and transit for electricity and gas are charged for separately. The one power company that owns the lines always bills you for transit, but you can get the electric/gas supply from third-party companies instead of them.
Not only can he vote with his wallet, but he's free to express his opinion to others who might vote with their wallets in the future. He's not forcing you or anyone else to do anything.
Yes. I think at these energies they're concerned about the electrons more than the resulting X-rays, but decelerating electrons do generally produce X-rays as an entertaining side effect.
Killer electrons may be a subset of relativistic electrons (appearing in particular situations, as opposed to relativistic electrons encountered in other situations), but relativistic is a very good adjective, yes.:-)
How about X-Rays, Roentgen Rays, Ionizing radiation, Accelerated electrons, etc.
How about them? X-Rays and Roentgen Rays refer to photons, not electrons (except, in English, Roentgen Rays is generally not used). Ionizing radiation is incredibly vague; it's more often used to refer to photons than electrons. Accelerated electrons at least gets the particle right, but is also far too general. A paper on "How are accelerated electrons produced?" could simply answer, "They're accelerated."
Like it or not, "killer electrons" appears to be the preferred term for electrons produced in this manner, at least among some journal papers.
It may not be true, but the wording they've chosen is saying that the $55/hr includes the cost of benefits -- not that the cost is $55/hr plus benefits. So you're comparing hourly cost including benefits to hourly cost including benefits.
Research shows that you can impose a completely arbitrary system -- as long as people are watching what they eat, following basic dietary principles, and obeying rules that they think are helpful, they'll do fine.
That's at least more logical, although hopefully you appreciate that you aren't (and won't be) paying 30% of your paycheck to government-run health care. (Currently, 20% of the Federal budget is Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP.)
But it certainly the case that insurance premiums and health care tax costs can be more expensive than even respectably expensive health costs.
If you have your own certificate, it'll still trigger a big scary red warning page, unless you manage to purchase a certificate for theirbank.com. Assuming you fail in that endeavor, your certificate for differentsite.com won't work.
Your best bet, really, is to hope they access their bank (or other service) by first visiting a page delivered over HTTP. You can subvert that page so that the HTTPS connection is instead done over HTTP (or subvert it so that it's an HTTPS connection to a domain you control, but that's probably worse). That way, you can successfully man-in-the-middle them, and hopefully they won't notice that there's no lock icon or green bar or what have you.
Of course, you'd need to be able to dynamically subvert web pages to alter HTTPS links to HTTP links.
Well, there could easily be substantial evidence that you were actually using the computer at the time the picture was taken. As the screen sheds light, an all-black picture is quite unlikely.
Not Heisenburg so much as Bell. Even to suggest that it boils down to whether one person is right grossly mischaracterizes quantum mechanics and science in general.
The view that "sometimes people are wrong", in the face of the empirical confirmation of Bell's inequality, is a rather weak basis to make the strong claim, as you did, that everything is deterministic.
No, Windows actually uses PAE, and Datacenter versions of the OS support more than 4 GB RAM under PAE. However, almost all the versions of 32-bit Windows intentionally limit the physical address space size to 4 GB, even when PAE is enabled. This is apparently for driver compatibility reasons (so that physical memory pointers will never exceed 32 bits).
Yes -- since the 4 GB restriction on PAE is entirely in-kernel, it can be bypassed (since full PAE capabilities are actually supported, for the datacenter versions). You're then on your own for driver safety, but one would hope that anyone with 64-bit drivers would be releasing PAE-safe drivers.
Given how badly-written Windows drivers are, I can believe their explanation.

The 40% is benefits. The $55/hr figure includes benefits. Is it really so complicated?
You know, Jesus was a pretty nice guy. It's all his so-called followers that give his religion such a bad reputation.
Courts make legal decisions based on the testimony of experts who disagree. This sort of ruling is one of the things they do.
It may not be true, but the wording they've chosen is saying that the $55/hr includes the cost of benefits -- not that the cost is $55/hr plus benefits. So you're comparing hourly cost including benefits to hourly cost including benefits.
Since when is energy measured in kilotons?

40000 is the same order of magnitude as "tens of thousands".
Actually, "atomic radiation" includes:
* electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays)
* electrons (beta particles)
* neutrons
* He2+ particles (or alpha particles, if you prefer)

$12k a month is $144k a year. Are you saying you make $480k a year?

Bell disagrees, and is backed up by empirical measurement.

No, that's really a measure of complexity. It can be used as *a* measure of "randomness", but it is not the same as entropy.
Quantum mechanics would like to have a word with you.
No. Neither a number nor a sequence of numbers has, by itself, any entropy.
