"and could possibly be used in the future to capture the electron movement around large atoms."
I like Einstein, never like the idea of superposition. The cat will die when factors cause it to die. It does not flip between dead and alive in a box.
But I suppose quantum theorists will say that by observing the location of the electron it is also changing it, that had it not been measured it'd be somewhere else, thus proving black is white.
"3.1 Client-server interaction - allocating a network address...
1. The client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on its local physical subnet...

So the server not only replied to your discover request, it offered you a choice of addresses.
The storage issue of nuclear waste is only a temporary problem, not lasting 10,000 years. I give it 100 years at most. We only need to develop reliable orbital insertions (far more reliable than rockets, and preferably single-stage) to get it into orbit. Then it is a simple matter of tapping it towards the sun, which will consume it (or Venus or Mercury) eventually.
Agreed. Why are we focusing on technical prevention measures, and not fixing the real problem: foreign relations.
I firmly believe that despite a few quacks, humanity holds life precious. If we focus on loving (or minimally respecting) each other, we'll not find any need for nukes. Nukes carry a very large penalty. There will be international retribution. There will be environmental catastrophe. Whatever you nuke and anything down wind must be vacated.
To this date there is only one country that has ever used a nuke against another... the United States.
We're just playing this technical suppression game for as long as we can, to maintain dominance longer.
The only reason why we care about Iran is that they don't appreciate Israel, whom our leaders are in bed with. Israel is the only country threatened by Iran having the weapon... too.
Why did we not care about India or Pakistan getting the bomb?
Would you support the release of information and software (Like Security-Enhanced Linux from the NSA) regarding successful defensive configurations and strategies to the general public so that the tax payer can derive additional benefits from your work? Surely the private industries in this country are valuable and may be attacked in order to cause economic harm.
What limitations or rules would you use for release of such information?
Clarifications: Cost+ was only possible by the large scale of operations. Any network based attack would not require the same scale of operations, meaning a small private team could provide significant value. Small private teams are plentiful, meaning an award of a Cost+ contract is unlikely.
On 2nd thought, I retract my challenging questions because I don't want to be labeled an enemy combatant, stripped of my Habeus Corpus rights and thrown in GitMo for questioning the wisdom of the military and by construct, the presidency.
We already know that the USAF has a cyber-warfare division. Given that all network attacks are fundamentally based in IP Packets, it stands to reason that the Army and USAF would be duplicating work, while creating an opportunity for lack of communication.
Would you agree that a special, single cyber-defense branch should be created to assist all branches of the military as well as non-military?
Generally the armed forces are never known for technical prowess. (They are more consumers than creators) The role of creation comes from contractors. Why shouldn't we rely on contractors to perform these functions when contractors already obtain top-secret clearances? Contractors compete for projects which ensures a level of cost limitation (lets face it, Cost+ rips off the tax payer), continual advancement (beyond what the enemy throws at us).
Why should the armed forces be doing this in-house?
What happens when I rear-end the teardrop shape in front of me? Oh yeah, my car and possibly me is impaled. Also, it is a waste of space. Maybe you could get a retractable membrane, that deploys at speed (like a Porsche spoiler) but you still have impalement, durability and esthetic issues.
Not exactly true. Since you're saying it is not semantic... Governments have a right of sovereignty, which is a right between governments.
But between the government and its people, only republican (not the party) governments do not have rights. Monarchies have rights secured by god(s).(Which is a dubious claim because I've never seen a god testify in court that he granted said rights.) Democracies are a bit of a gray area, where popular vote can take anything it wants with a simple majority (of those that vote). This would then seem to mean that you have no rights, but neither does the government, and both the people and the government are a bit wishy-washy.
Well, KDE uses Qt. Qt is commercial, and has commercial funding in addition to its opensource side. I've always suggested that commercial corporations can have better direction than undirected opensource scratch-an-itch development. (That is not to say that all opensource development is scratch-an-itch. I'd never be so naive.) Really, KDE4 is just riding on the back of Qt4, which tries to make money by getting commercial developers to buy it. And I think that's where it is different from GTK/GNOME. GTK/GNOME doesn't have that aspect. I also think Having Qt as C++ helps, where GTK is more C-based (though there are wrappers) But with Qt having the core toolkit in C++, means there are no C developers, and the toolkit itself is capable of innovating faster. Everything on top of Qt is a wrapper, but your inheritance doesn't come into play until gtkmm, meaning that you have to worry about what level it gets put into.
Aliens are not covered under the constitution, therefore the Bush administration can torture them to death. Additionally, they don't qualify as an Indian tribe either, so the federal government can't even sign a treaty with them, assuming they had mechanics and dexterity enough to pick up a pen.
When will we have a means to use the egde/3g connection to send text messages at internet bandwidth rates? Something like twitter and a twitter listener (for notifications) could replace text messages on the cheap...
What is the law, if not semantics? While I don't agree with Thompson, I do agree that until a loyalty oath is signed, no judge can ever issue a binding ruling.
We as citizens must demand that our government dot it's 'i's and cross its 't's. Without these oaths, the judges are unaccountable. How hard is it to get a signature? How hard is it to take an oath? These oaths are required by the people and in them, the person taking the oath states they will follow whatever constitutions are relevant to the position.
How can you disprove EM travels without a medium, if our world is made of matter in that medium? You can of course remove the matter (create a vacuum), but that doesn't remove the medium.
I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I'm legitimately curious.
But the benevolent will always be victim to the malevolent. Any society that broadcasts into space better be damn sure they are capable of defending from attack or incredibly naive. In my book humanity is the latter. I don't value the discovery alien life so much that I'm willing to have my species destroyed for it.
Also, I wonder about the value of discoveries when a lifetime is 100 years and your transmission time is 100 years, particularly when you start from the same technological base...
Given the distance to cover and the speed of light, lag times will be high. The smallest duration would be on the order of 10 years, with most 100 to 1000 years. This would require very long lifetimes for any chatter to make sense. What would really be communicated? Only those items of utmost importance. I figure it would be data on other civilizations, their development and threat assessment. Or, habitable worlds for an expanding population. Anything else would be considered hum-drum, or capable of being discerned from great distances. Eventually your remote populations would grow evolutionarily distant, and you'd be communicating with an alien race from your own planet. Perhaps then the communication is to keep the two races friendly, and to maintain a common form of communication, if the ever do come together again.
It is only when FTL comes into play that things get interesting (as any sci-fi viewer would know)
What the Bush administration has done is coordinate with the foreign country to detain you on false charges. That way, if you never make it to the border, you don't have to let them in. In the court case I am specifically thinking of, the FBI did not deny it was cooperating with foreign government, but attempted to claim the court lacked jurisdiction because it cannot control a foreign government. However the court found it had jurisdiction over the FBI. I have not seen any newer information on the case.
"It used to be that only NASA or the Air Force could do such things."
Yeah, It's not like its rocket science or anything... Or has the challenges changed? Its still primarily a challenge of managing a crap load of propellant.
How does Ron Paul want sick poor people to stop contributing to the economy? He just wants them off social welfare so they don't drag the rest of the economy down. Which is a negative contribution. So he wants them to doubly contribute. Get better and get working. Only Ron Paul has a plan to REDUCE the rising cost of health care, and he should know. He's a doctor. The rest will wither perpetuate the status quo, or increase the cost of health care by getting the government involved. That won't help anyone, rich, sick or poor.

Al Gore took part in environmental studies while he was in college.
"Gore learned of global warming in the late 1960s as a student at Harvard University. He studied under a professor who had been measuring carbon gases for years and anticipated the danger that was coming."
But we all know there is a legitimate doubt about anthropogenic global warming.

Perpetial Motion is much better when applied in a distributed manner.
this guy promises to have perpetual motion going again for his (get this) -SECOND- time.
He too is motivated by $4 dollar a gallon gas, but not for budgetary reasons. He's rejecting the extreme wealth held by those with control of oil...
I fully expect him to fail, as no one has yet posted a video of any working copy of his device since describing it over a month ago.
Oh, you mean like Black Water?
