Actually it is. Because with proper irrigation, and following the buffering rules, run-off can be re-directed into run-off ponds and prevented from ending up in the tributaries.
Your logic seems to indicate that the ends justify the means. That's a false dichotomy. The means are a part of the ends and need to be included in the consequences. We produced a 12,000-point stock market, but under shady lending practices, now look where we are.
No, you're and idiot. (But you get points for not using 'your')
Runoff from farms has huge environmental implications. Consider the case of the spiny star fish. These buggers (upt to 3 ft across) decimate coral reefs. Their numbers are out of control. The problem is fertilizer from the fields enter the rivers, which flow down the ocean. This produces algal blooms which feed baby starfish. The super-rich environment then has a much-higher than natural maturity rate.
This isn't limited to Australia lone. In the Chesapeake bay, run off from pig and chicken farms cause red tides and are believed to have cause the Pfiesteria outbreaks - which do affect humans.
The problems are: the farmers use more potent fertilizers and higher densities than what is natural.
Why can't we let private industry own the computer and the government just purchase time on it? I for one would love to have CGI movies rendered in better-than-real time. This way, us the taxpayers don't have to pay for idle time.
Also, I can design a database using SQLite with a web front end for keeping track of uranium or anything else for that matter. As long as it is not measured in individual atoms, it'll run fine on my spare 2.4 Single core celeron. There is no need to update the database 100M times a second.
Thanks to the wind bag that Al Gore is, we have a power source to turn the turbines!
I wonder if putting up with Al Gore is worth it. I'm totally serial guys. Man-bear-pig is out to get us!
Anyone who looks into the global warming science in depth sees that TEMPERATURE LEADS CO2, not t he other way around. Al Gore had this to say about that in an Inconvenient Truth - "the relationship is complicated". That's all he explained about the science of global warming. The entire rest of the movie is about the consequences. Go watch the movie again. See if he actually explains how it works.
Yes, except people, not sqkm consume electricity. A better gauge is per capita, where Germany=82M and the US=303M.
Meaning that, we need just under 4x the watt production of Germany to be comparable. Whereas your evaluation we would need 25x to be comparable. The middle of our country is vastly emtpy farmland. It shouldn't have the same weight as the urban areas.
Good points, to which I want to add, that intelligence does not necessarily lead to radio waves at any eventual point.
Radiowaves are a social phenomenon. They are used to communicate between beings of shared language over large distances in short amounts of time. This means that there is a need to communicate quickly, and natural methods are insufficient. For example, whales are intelligent and communicate over great distances. Yet they have no need for radios because the water medium is good enough for their needs.
Animals are capable of using magnetism to coordinate. Be it distance migrations or short-distance homing. Avian/IP takes this into consideration. If they found a way to communicate naturally via the magnetic material in their heads (over short distances - telepathy) they could pony express a message throughout their habitat at relatively low time cost.
Then even if they had the motivation or understanding they still need to be physiologically equipped to construct a device. And that device needs mining and metal refining technologies.
So while there may me the means, there may not be the motivation for the mega an giga-watt broadcasts we currently use.
I expect that if we ever get exploring other habitable worlds, we'll find a lot of life to interact with in complex ways, but are technologically inferior due to physiology. I call this the "cephalopod argument". That is, they seem to be relatively intelligent creatures, while sharing little to nothing in common with our nervous system. They've been unchanged for millions of years, without additional evolutionary selection criteria, they have no reason to change. (Also, until we can communicate with them we are unlikely to be able to communicate with ETs unless they provide the means)
Actually, I'd do it the other way. If you survey the numbers that are used in the prison that aren't staff, you can shut them down. Let everything else pass, what way when you're driving by your call still goes through.
.Net was invented for several reasons. One of those, if you scolled down the list far enough you'd find on the page 7, on the back of the page, was to kill off POSIX. Indeed.Net was a big "fuck you" to POSIX by reinventing the wheel.
Why would Microsoft want to make it easy to port apps to/from MS? Instead by creating.Net and only officially supporting their platform, they give the impression that you have multi-platform capability. Its just not/their/ fault your platform isn't ready yet.
Me, I'm a Qt fanboy, and I'll just keep using that and the platform abstraction therein thankyouverymuch.
Seriously. If you can't afford a TV, then you can't afford a child. If you do have a child and can;t afford it, then you're going to come to me in some way for me to pay for it.
Don't get me wrong. You have every right to have a baby. But you don't have a right to make it my problem. Socializing health care makes it my problem.
The entire theory of evaporation isn't proven. In fact we have zero evidence other than some equations. I was watching a show exactly on this last night on the science channel. We have yet to build the telescope that is sensitive enough to record this kind of radiation. Until we do, we're just relying on unproven theory.
We have yet to see us test how a negative energy particle will react in a black hole. How do we know that the negative energy particle won't be pushed out. We know for sure the positive particle will be pulled in. Given the oppositeness of the other particle, how do we know it will be attracted to? How do we know it won't react with actual matter and annihilate itself and the matter as well, leading to a violent release of energy, which feeds the black hole?
Why is it the negative particle is always the one to enter the black hole? How do we know that the event horizon does not perturb space-time so that the positive particle is emitted to the event horizon.
We only have theory on the evaporation rates. We have no evidence of black holes evaporating to the point of collapse.
Given we have yet to observe any of the base assumptions, all we have is some mental masturbation to go on.
This generally happens when there is some resource and something has installed a hook onto it. (Like a TSR for you old folks) The hook code is only executed at certain times, depending on the nature of the hook. IRQs have hooks (Anyone remember IRQs?) but also windows supports additional hooks like for virusscan., Filemon, Procmon, etc.
Given that everyone here (well the modded-up posts anyway) is suspecting a hardware disk issue, I think it's your virus scan.
Re-install it or switch. Its probable that an engine update is not to nice on your CPU.
The Qt API has QtScript, an ECMA scripting engine. While by default Qt isn't fully scriptable, there is a "bindings generator" that makes the whole Qt API available to the scripting engine.
The SOA is a business-focus driven paradigm. It is the space of top-down development. WOA comes in from the other angle and is resource based. The clear winner here is WOA, because it allows you to combine the resources in new and unexpected ways. This is where innovation lies. SOA, being top-down is more about governing structure, so by definition you'll be more limited. I'm not saying you can't innovate, but it certainly would not be as easy.

The Zen of SOA
·
· Score: 4, Informative
As someone who thought SOA would be a good thing (meaning SOAP and XML) I can say without a doubt it sucks.
I am working on IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) (Electronic medical records sharing) and I hate it. We are constantly dealing with the same stupid problems time and time again: XML mismatches.
Please, anyone developing for the cloud or SOA use REST aka WOA (Web oriented architecture).
The difference is simple: Rather than use SOAP for everything, you match it to the usual HTTP paradigms (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, with sensible URLs and HTTP headers).
The elimination of XML eliminates so many issues you will not believe. The best that I can tell is XML is a document, this document can be versioned, while HTTP is a protocol. You therefore eliminate a layer that has to be maintained.
whereas with SOAP you'd need to agree on a transaction name, XML schema, paramters. Then someone will decide that you need to support base64 encoded file uploads and downloads, so that'll have to go in the schema too. With REST you just use the standard HTTP headers...
I wonder if there is any relation at all to the "grains" and Heim's "metrons".
A single elementary particle is characterized not only by and the limiting distances R+- of its gravitational field, but also by its Compton wavelength. R- vanishes in empty space when the mass of the field source approaches zero, while R+, , and the Compton wavelength all diverge. However, since the smallest geometrical unit must be a real number and a property of empty space its value has to remain finite. As shown in [1], only a single product having this property can be formed from the 4 characteristic lengths above. The result is an area, , bounded on all sides by geodesics, whose present numerical value is = ca. 6.15x10-70 m2. This quantity, called a metron, represents the smallest area existing in empty space and requires the differential calculus to be replaced by a calculus of finite areas. Accordingly, a whole chapter in [1] is devoted to the development of a difference calculus considering the finite area of . This enables any differential expression to be metronized. It follows that in any subspace Rn, whose dimensionality n is divisible by 2, the geometrical continuum is replaced by a metronic lattice formed by n-dimensional volumes bounded on all sides by metrons. Thus, R6 and R12 are 6-dimensional and 12-dimensional metronic lattices, respectively. Since all dimensions are metronized, even time proceeds in finite, calculable steps. By the use of a difference calculus it becomes possible to consider in the nonlinear system of geometric structures in R6. - Bastic Thoughts of Heim's Theory
It is my larger goal to eliminate currency by replacing it with a democratic system so effective that it blurs the line of separation between government and citizen, leading to a situation where the vast majority of people would actually prefer to govern their affairs with a democratic political system and a communist economic system because it gives them more for less.
And as soon as you accomplish that, we're going to have a vote that your sister sleeps with us all. At least when she does it now, she gets paid.

For those of us that worked in the Defense Industry, this is a classic. For those that are new, you can probably appreciate this.

Not only does Qt already do JS
But Qt also uses CSS for widget styling.
The Qt API has QtScript, an ECMA scripting engine. While by default Qt isn't fully scriptable, there is a "bindings generator" that makes the whole Qt API available to the scripting engine.
Does anyone know what the state of Qt is on the iPhone? I figure the core classes are ok, but does it use the same Carbon/Cocoa APIs?
I'd love to use Qt just so I don't need to learn a whole other development platform

By saying "violation", I did not mean a GPL violation, it is a commercial license violation.
I think maybe someone did a search-and-replace on GPL with LGPL.
Because what people would do is use the GPL version and develop until they had a sellable product. That is a violation of the GPL license.
It doesn't make any sense as LGPL though.
