AIM also has the ability to become invisible, but that's all I can think that you're missing...
Also, I don't think that any of the major players will ever fully support end to end encryption. Firstly, that's a treasure trove of information they can play with and use. Secondly, at some point, the FBI is gonna come knocking and demand IM records, which they'll need to be able to provide. Finally, if they do provide it, it'll only be for 'premium' users (AOL has this kind of service, I don't know about the others...)
No prob. I had the same thing happen to me the other day, and I found out that windows was running VESA drivers because the ones I had tried to install died.
They give the woman hormones to make her ovaries ripen, then apply a local anesthetic to her genitals. Afterward, they inject a syrenge through the wall of the vagina and use it to pull eggs out. It's not like they have an inscision (although, that was my first thought too...)
It's a good thought, but you're missing an important idea -- entropy.
Yes, no energy can ever enter or leave the universe (assuming, of course, there's nothing 'outside') and since there's the same amount of energy (since none can be created or destroyed) it wouuld seem like you could describe the universe a perpetual motion machine since it would appear to run forever (after all, it wouldn't run out of energy-- where would it go?)
Like I said, it boils down to entropy. Any thermodynamic process, any event that causes an exchange of energy _always_ causes entropy at the same time. What's entropy? Disorder. A good example of it is waste heat that comes off any sort of machinery. The energy is still stored in the waste heat, but there's no way to harness it, so it's effectively removed from the machine although it's still sitting right there.
Another good way to think about it is this. Think about any sort of reaction that can be used to power another reaction like batteries, gravitational potential energy, temperature gradients, electric field gradients, etc... All of those examples are of moving a system from a higher potential to a lower potential energy and then harnessing the difference between of the states as a power source for some other reaction. Unfortunately, (because of the rule that all reactions cause a change in entropy) if you move an object from a higher to a lower point and then back up to the original point, some measurable amount of energy will be expended to cause disorder in the surroundings. The energy is effectively lost, and eventually at some point the universe will encounter a death in which there's no potential energy gradients left to perform any reactions (that's discounting effects such as the contraction/expansion of the universe, which changes a lof of assumptions we have)
I hope that helped. Basically, study up on the other 2 laws of thermodynamics, and you'll get the answer you're lookign for
I'm curious as to where the He is being stored on the moon. He is inert, so it's not bound in molecules. It's also really light, so it escapes the earth's gravitational pull (meaning it'll fly away even quicker from the moon). Are there a lot of radioactive materials undergoing beta decay leaving pockets of He?
All this is terribly interesting, but I do have something to interject.
How have they recorded variations in temperature over the last millenium?
He mentioned with ice cores. Kind of like with trees, there are 'layers' from where the ice melts some, and refreezes yearly. By measuring the size and composition of these layers, you can extract a lot of useful, historical data about the atmosphere/climate.
Right next to the eruption, yeah, it's really farking hot. But all tha dust gets kicked up into the upper atmosphere where it reflects light before it has a chance to hit the earth's surface which leads to a global decline in temperature.
I can understand your frustration, but I'm curious as to how having people study theoretical physics has a negative impact on curing cancer..
Keep in mind that their physics is used as the basis for many other fields of physics such as electrical engineering. Electical engineering is used to make things like computers. Computers do neat things like make it easy for scientists looking for a cure for cancer to visualise and work faster.
It's all interconnected, and as a society, we need people studying _all_ fields of science to keep increasing our quality of life.
I agree with your original point, but you can actually use c++ templates to do unit checks. I read it in a book chock full of neat (suprisingly simple) things you can do with templates.
Actually, they can see each other. The light from each object will travel at C regardless of the reference frame. It's that weird funkyness that comes up with relativity.
Basically, if you are travelling at -.5C and you emit a photon, the photon doesnt end up traveling at 1C-.5C=.5C It just travels at C, always.
Is there a way to make the panel icons smaller and stack on top of each other, leaving more horizontal space for more taskbar entries? That's really what would save some space.
Maybe it's just late, but I can't figure out how to actually download anything, for the life of me. I keep coming back to schedules for when things were shown:(
Why wouldn't they be? Accelerating 1 ton to 120mph in 4 seconds requires a huge amount of force, and an equally large B-Field. It makes tons of sense (now, not this rollercoaster, they already talked about how it's got a cable that pulls it.
Regardless, the GP was complaining because he seemed to think the article implied the coaster itself was superconducting, which I think we can agree it's not.
The magnets are made of superconducting material to reduce the resistive losses in their wires.... The rollercoasters themselves aren't superconducting.
Superconducting rings don't lose energy over time. They actually both reject external fields and contain internal E&M fields so. There's also an experiemnt where some people took a superconducting ring, started a current in it, and left it alone for a couple years, periodially checking it's current. It remained the same.
Mechanical superfluids don't transfer energy since we keep the container vessel at a fixed temperature. The fluid equlibrises (sp?) to that temperature and then no heat flows. It's misleading to say that it's perpetual energy since you have to put energy in to cool the vessel down. Regardless, they do have _zero_ viscosity which could turn out to be useful somewhere.
Is there a group somewhere that soley focuses on reforming the way our government works? Not a partisan thing, just a group that pushes for campaign finance reform, voting reform, and changes to the way our governement works so that things can't be "snuck" in with other bills.
Please, let there be more episodes done. A friend of mine casually showed me the pilot movie (she bought the DVDs). Two days later, I had watched them all and craved more. I'm gonna echo everyone else's sentiment that I really wish that more of this would be on tv as opposed to whatever crap reality show is undergoing it's 15 seconds.

It's all about the video drivers. Without hardware acceleration, it's going to be dog-slow.
You're running a media player on your servers? :)
Although I agree, debian has all kinds of dependancy hell, depending on the package.

yeah, I guess my sarcasm detector was broken, sorry. That doesn't neeed a flame mod though....
*whoosh*
that noise was the sound of a joke going right over your head.
Nearly every kind of joke is un-funny to someone because it relates to them. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a laugh every once in a while though.

.5C It just travels at C, always.

what'd i'd really like is a perl book on the same topic...does anyone have suggestions?

It's called a Bose-Einstein Condensate. The wavefunctions of the individual particles start to act real funky in that realm.
