Even though I live in New Jersey I really don't have problems with people tailgating me. This may be because I have a sunroof and a jar of pennies in my car.
I guess this is the price you pay for taking money from the government for your research. Perhaps the government shouldn't be doling out the money. Maybe the government shouldn't be given that power. The power of the US Government comes mostly not from the armed forces but the money it takes in and gives out.
While the material may be around for 25,000 years doesn't mean that it will be waste for 25,000. It's quite conceivable that something we regard as junk can become almost priceless. Oil was first thought only to be good for sealing ships. Now we have multi-billion dollar companies trying to find every last drop of it on the globe. If a useful propose can be found for this by-product Yucca Mountain can turn into a repository more valuable than Fort Knox. Who knows, radioactive wafers could be a cure for cancer.
As a person of Italian descent living in the Northern Jersey I can say that no Italians in this state ever did use the term Joisey. I've only heard it from people from Long Island and Staten Island and those trying to make fun of Jersey. As for the whole state looking like Newark, we keep all the bad parts on the highways most frequently by out of staters to discourage them from ruining our peace. Everytime I hear someone refer to Jersey as a dump I smile and say, "Good, stay out!"
Can't someone who is just interesting in disrupting communication instead of intercepting them have a field day with this. Isn't that one of the first objectives of war to cut off HQ from the men on the field, etc
Being from Jersey I would not mind having nuclear waste in my backyard as long as you take the crap that's there now. There's Hg everywhere in the soil, there Pb in the water, PCB's in the ground and who knows what in the air (half the people I know have asthma). I would without blinking trade it away for all the nuclear waste in the world if it was well contained like it is in NV.
What a victory for the environment, with the exception of wind power Nuclear power has the smallest environmental impact. It can be said that it has the great potential for damage but it's more likely the US would get hit by a nuclear weapon that suffer an incident in one of those new fancy nuclear reators. Around here (NE Jersey) a lot of out power is produced by coal and that is why there's acid rain in other places. If places like Iran are building new nuclear power plants isn't time the US joined the game.
The name was changed because it was coming out around the same time as Wrath of Kahn. The two titles were too similar and thus we got Return of the Jedi
There are more than one type of storms on Arrakis. A corolis(sp?) strom which gets added energy from the rotation of the planet is the one that will rip flesh from bone.
unixware !--> monterey. Monterey is based on AIX with some features from UW included. UW falls under Server Software and is thus part of the deal. I believe that UNIX will go with the Server Software Division
SCO right now fills in a niche that Linux will not be able to fit into for quite some time. SCO stills possesses 80% of the high-end Intel market. UnixWare offers high-end features that Linux just compete with now. UnixWare scales very well with many processors, there's NonStop clustering, and many more. Just because SCO is dissapearing from a low-end server market doesn't mean it is dead. There are many IT's out there that would swear by SCO and just because they don't post on/. doesn't mean that don't matter. Now I am a summer intern at SCO in NJ and no one here is ready to lie down and die. -Kevin Hollywood ***Disclaimer: my views and opinions do not reflect those of my employers, etc...***
I think you are close. My understanding of the situation comes from a show I saw on TV about the sexes. It states that modern behavior differences date back before the dawn of civilizations. The role of men was to go out and hunt for weeks and months at a time. The role of women was to stay home and tend camp and care for kids. Because of this Men developed behavior that was extremly mono-manic; follow the herd and kill some animals. They only worried about two things: survival and hunting . Women and the other hand stay at camp. They have a tendency to be able to focus on many things at once. The camp is also very social compared to the silence of a hunting party. Sure this was 5000 years ago but you must remember that Humans acted this way for close to 2,000,000 years. 2,000,000 greatly outways 5,000. I think there should be more women in the field. With their inherient adaptness with mutli-focus imagine how advanced the field of parallel processing and multi thread would advance. Perhaps the fact that CS is a predomitantly male is severly hurting the field. I'm a strong believer in strength thru diversity. EOC(End of Comment)
I would disagree with your king of the hill mentality. I go to school which only offers Engineering and Sciences. With few exceptions I consider just about everyone a geek. Anyone who stands up and says there smarter than eveyone else quickly gets put to shame. Some of my smartest friends really don't show their "smarts" outside of school work. As far as geeks not growing up I think you are making a gross stereotype. Having gone to an all-male high school I can tell you that the geek population had a higher percentage of mature people than the purely jock population. As far as girls maturing faster I think that's a ignorant statement too. I have seen many a girl get quick vicious about petty things. In my experience is that on average guys resolve agruements more maturely. Sure sometimes guys result to fighting and violence but I think that can be consider to prolonged bitter agruements where people pretend to like each other and just talk about people behind their back. It's not that one gender matures quicker than the other it just that each gender has a tendacy to show maturity in different ways. Your comment on hygenine is quite an insult. Geeks tend to be less superfacil than other types of people but it dosen't make them dirty savages. With little exception all the geeks I know are as clean and hygenic as a normal person. My opinion on why CS is predomitantly male is kinda sexist. I think computer use can be related to testosterone. Computers is an outlet for agression thru computer games. Computers can be outlet for competition. Computers are an outlet for a want of control (don't know if that's a testorone thing). Plus women tend to be more socially oreinted. I found that my social life interfers with my computer life. In conclusion I think the nature of men is more compatable with the nature of computers than the nature of women are to the nature of computers.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to send up a automated probe to place small tracking devices on the midsized rocks. The midsize seem to be the most dangerous seeing they are big enough to cause serious damage and small enough to be hard to track. Sure there are so many spread out far but %10 is better than nothing. This is something we should be safe about because we won't have the chance to be sorry about.
DNA is just a bunch of random packets of data. DNA is much like a stream of machine code. Heck, DNA is practically binary in nature. Much like Machine code DNA has commands and data. The commands are basically start making a protein and protien is done. Yes the easiest way to see what code does is to excute it and hack bits and bytes to notice differences but that's no the only way. Who knows in the future there might be geneticist who can read DNA like some gurus debug using a hex dump.
That would be the New Jersey film industry. New Jersey is the birthpace of film as well as the light bulb, record player and the transistor amoung many other things.

Sorry but any data about the on-board avionics and its software can't be shared by those working on it.

A few tons into space, my wallet screamed when you said that.
So what's stop Lucas from selling liscenses to these amateur films at a low low price, say a $1?
Seems like someone at NASA stayed up watchin Prisoner re-runs.

Am I foolish to think that this would make a great swap partition?
