I know it was suggested early, but it wasn't until the 60's that people actually figured out how to actually make it useful within mathematical psychology, i.e what concepts could be used, which ones needed to be stripped, and what concepts that needed to be put in.
I was actually thinking "So, physicists only NOW catch up with psychology?".
Psychology has used concepts from gas and particle physics for at least 40 years, and in many way follow the same rules: You can generalize a group, but an individual can only be statistically compared with the group traits and not specifically predicted.
The place they are taking the heat from is a place where people are dressed for winter during winter, so lowering the temperature is desireable in the winter too. The railway station mentioned, Stockholm Central, can get quite toasty if you're dressed for the outside weather, and there's lot of people inside....
Actually, during the long winter nights, you don't need as much heating as you'd think if the house is built correctly. In fact, we have a problem here in Sweden, Norway and Finland in that many houses built in the 70's and 80's are overly insulated and thus cause health problems(increased probability of asthma, allergies, sleep problems etc etc).
Considering that the ECMWF's model has proven itself to be more accurate than the GFS for a long while now, to the point that ECMWF are now working together with NOAA to improve the GFS, your complaint is invalid.
The fact that US metereologists are complaining about US weather forecasting falling behind the EU should tell you something.
The convergence was due to the integration of ECMWF's model output and GFS output, as well as plugging ECMWF's initialization data into GFS.
I was checking the various maps during the lead-ups, and while NOAA was still forecasting a NNE heading for Sandy, the people following the Euro model were securing their boats, the US Navy were sending ships E or NE from Norfolk etc based on their own forecasts...
There is an upside though, EMWFC have started working with NOAA on fixing GFS's accuracy shortcomings. Plugging ECMWF's initialization data into GFS is a first step in increasing the accuracy.
The only reason NOAA even managed to predict the left-hook was because they integrate the so-called Euro Model predictions from the ECMWF. The Euro model predicted the left hook, while GFS, which is the NOAA's model, predicted Sandy to go NNE.
So for example, on Sailing Anarchy, there were people who were preparing for the Sandy left hook days before NOAA started warning about it, thanks to DryArmor reading the euro model data before NOAA did.
The Big Gray Ships headed out from Norfolk over a day before NOAA warned about the left hook too.
That's the funny thing, any serious freelancers will follow their clients code formatting guidelines etc, specifically because it's their code we're developing, not our own.
The intelligence service running this would have issued the specific "book" to a specific agent. That agent would have orders to operate inside a specific area and report from there.
Another potential identifier is the specific pigeon, which could also show which agent/cell, and thus what area the message concerned.
Heh, in Sweden, in the foodservice industry(be it butchers shop or restaurant or retail), if you show up sick, the boss has a legal obligation to send you home. Public health is more important. Your individual work is less important than the health of all the people you might infect by showing up sick.
As the parent mentioned, timing involves multiple cars. It's the same thing in optimizing traffic light timings, they can't just factor one direction on a single road. You have to consider parallell roads, crossing roads, highway on- and off-ramp locations and all the traffic loads and the resultant traffic flow patterns. Needless to say, for even a moderate-size city, it's an incredibly complex problem.
SSD's for workstations sort of depends on the purpose of the workstation... For a video workstation for serious special effects etc, you run a bunch of the highest-quality 1TB+ drives you can find in RAID locally, and the rest over network. System boot time and application load times are non-factors, since that's just negligible time, compared with chucking around TB's of video, images etc that also need to be stored somewhere.
A colleague of mine skipped SSD's simply because if he needed really fast I/O for something, the dataset was always so small that he could fit it inside a 256GiB RAMDisk he setup in system RAM(out of his total 384GiB).
Also: with HD's, if the onboard controller dies, for example in the middle of doing a backup), you have a(small, mostly theoretical) chance of recovering the data. With a SSD, if the onboard controller dies, it's goodbye.
Corsair, because the support guys at the store I buy my non-work hardware have Money-Back odds betting between themselves on guessing OCZ if someone calls in and asks about dead SSD's......
You forget though, that the values are cumulative, and that alpha particles INSIDE your body can cause quite a bit more damage.
Also, a bigger problem regarding radon is the fact that a lot of concrete was made from powdered granite. Thus you got concrete that contained radon in buildings. Concrete that was drilled in etc, and released dust containing radon, which got into lungs etc. And claiming that it's not been a big deal in Sweden is a big fucking lie. There's a reason many housing corporations perform radon measurements every 3-5 years, especially in houses built before 1990.
Why do so many idiots equate twitch games with being the only ones about player skills?
It's just a different skill set, and more about reflexes.
EVE requires piloting skills, but more along tactical lines, and thus more about cerebral skills. Where the fighter jock thinks about the next 10-20 seconds, the EVE ship captain has that in mind while ALSO keeping the next 10-20 MINUTES in mind.... And fleet commanders and corp/alliance leaders have the next 10-20 hours and 10-20 days in mind too.....
I have yet to see a GPL program that is actually innovative, rather than the usual GPL zealot approach of Plagiarism-then-shouting-innovation.
There's been more actual innovation and trying totally new concepts from the *BSD camp, while the GPL/Linux camp have been busy implementing stuff from other OS's or even concepts that were old already in the 80's(Fair Scheduling etc) yet claiming innovation.
Hell, many of the GPL implementations of various things have been substandard compared to the proprietary ones, such as XFS for example, and IBM's JFS.
No, that's you trying to turn it around, with an inane comparison. And you haven't understood it either.
It's an API, not a full-blown code implementation that's copy-pasted, yet the Linux kernel guys are trying to force it upon non-derivative works. If it had been a library or something, it'd have been one thing, but as said, this is an API.
It's more like the classical mob protection racket "Why, nice business you have there.... would be a shame if we wrecked it... unless you hand over a lot of goodies to us that we are too lazy or incompetent to earn honestly"
No, Alan Cox and the others in the kernel are the bad guys, because they are forcing THEIR ideology on others. Which is nothing new, Linus has several times said that that is one of the reasons why they never provide a stable ABI... It's almost becoming a protection racket.. "Act in accordance to our will, or else"
Your original premise also contained the premise that if government was involved, it would prevent high-performance rollouts etc. Also, the government rollouts do have high performance too, via the municipal networks which the private telcos provide service on top of.
Empirical proof: Here in Sweden, many FTTP/FTTH rollouts have been done by municipalities, with national government aid. Some administration/government-owned corps also run and rent out backbone capacity, for example the railroad network administration and maintenance corp, having run fiber along large parts of the railroad network. Quite a few telecoms also got favourable loans to build out their networks, yet we do not get the stagnation you are claiming should have happened. In fact, my privately owned telco rolled out Gb/s offerings here in this not-so-high-average-income suburb of Stockholm.
The problem is not with government itself, the problem is the intersection between some people working for the government and the corporations.

Already been done in lots of online games....
I know for a fact that there's been such things in EQ, UO, WoW etc. And well, there's EVE, where you have had entire mercenary alliances etc...

NWS's own statistics backs up the conclusion:

Not necessarily too generic.

And even the STC's were far from the first to bring up that concept
