Yes... they funded the project. And if they did that without a contract that prevents you from competing with them during the life of your patent, then they were dumb, and you go on to make the millions. I would think that your company would require you to license them your patent at some reasonable term before they bankroll you.
It seems that product of the simplicity of the rules involved and the predictability of the phenomena being modeled is a constant. Simple, cellular automata rules CAN produce the same models, but are unpredictable. High-order differentials can produce predicable results, but are hell to calculate. Somewhere near the middle, we hope we can find equations we can perform, that still provide reasonably accurate predictions.
I hope that this book gets wide spread. Not because I think that Wolfram is correct, I don't presume to know that answer. But I do believe that this book will spur on a great deal of scientific inquiry, that cannot help but to lead us somewhere extraordinary.
EMP (Elecltro-Magnetic Pulse) is an effect of a nuclear explosion in atmosphere. On the moon, it won't happen. A 'dirty' enough explosion could cause enough radiation to fry some nearby satalites, but EMP won't do it.
The article talks about linking two (2) five-atom nitrogen molecules with opposite charges to form N5+N5-. Incidentally, the older slashdot article referenced talks about using 6 of these 10-atom molecules to form a buckminsterfullerene.
There is an interesting article in the current issue of Discover magazine. It's not on the website yet, since that's still last month's issue.
Anyway, apparantly some species of turtle do not age. The only apparent change in their physiology is that the lay more eggs as they grow older. They apparently get smarter, as well. The enzyme that prevents cancer cells from dying of old age seem to give the turtle cells a boost when they are young, but they still don't get cancer, or other age-related diseases. We might break the 1-year/year barrier, yet!:)
What's stopping you from using a different browser? Nothing. But... IE is also the file browser, and the desktop. And Microsoft has refused to release the specs on the interconnection of these things so that a reasonably effective substitute could be written.
You can't just shut your eyes when going past a speed limit sign, that would be illegal. Making changes to the data that is on a disc that you have bought is NOT illegal. A better comparison would be an unposted road. On any unposted road, the speed limit is automatically set to the MAXIMUM allowed by that jurisidiction. In this state (NY), that's 55, unless you are in a city, which often have they're own limits. Using a program that you have paid for, but did not agree to a EULA for, you would still be subject to copyright law, which is the maximum allowed by this country.
Any of you astronomer types out there able to give a rough guess as to the intinsic brightness of this thing? Will it be a naked-eye object? Perhaps only at certain times of the year, when Earth crosses it's reflection path. Inquiring minds (and lazy slashdotters) want to know.
The company that provides a replacement for the Start button would then be required to support it's replacement. If there is no Start/Programs/Accessories/etc. then they can tell me where to go, but they should not be forbidden to make the change.
The problem is that today's business plans seldom exceed a year. By Government forcing them into a market that is too small to show profit within a year, the small markets still get served. The companies want to spread out the cost over many years, so they institute the Universal Service fee.
BTW, this is not a REQUIRED fee. It is what the FCC allows. The local telco is within their rights to not charge the full ammount, even down to not charging anything.
The problem is that Microsoft requires any computer 'bundled' with Windows to NOT have any other OS. They also give better deals to OEMs that are willing to sign a contract that says they will NEVER sell a computer without the Windows OS on it. Since most consumers want Windows, this means OEMS cannot sell them Linux/Windows dual boots, which the consumer might want, but doesn't feel comfortable installing him/herself.
I can buy a car with power locks. I can also buy a car with power locks, and power windows. Microsoft is trying to force anyone who wants power locks to refuse power windows, or else install them by hand.
Science and medicine is inadvertantly creating longer lives for most and helping those who wouldn't have made it past age 6 a hundred years ago to live until they're much, much older
And the evolution of camoflage-like coloring is inadvertantly creating longer lives for animals that would have been killed earlier. The whole point of evolution is in taking advantage of your fitness. Refusing to use medicine because it distorts evolutionary progress is ass-backwards.
While this is true, the concept that nothing can escape a black hole required relativity. As far as Newton was concerned, exceeding the speed of light was OK. It took Einstien and his gedanken experiments to figure out that light speed was a barrier, and black holes became the mysterious objects they are today.
And like Newton, Einstein laid the ground work, but someone else figured out the consequences for black holes.
BUT... All those things are voluntary. It is very close to mandatory that you have a drivers license (or non-drivers license with the same data on it) in this country. From driving, drinking, smoking, to buying guns or renting a hotel room, drivers licenses are required. Since we are required to produce them, we should NOT be required to associate a lot of other information to them.
I want a book that gives a series of problems, including basic design information. It would be used to get you familiar with a language. "Hello World" is the quintessential first program, but what's the second? As you go through the book, the problems should get more involved, and require a greater knowledge of the language to accomplish. I, for one, learn alot more about a language when I'm actually trying to use it.
Darwin's theory was considerably controversial at the time of it's publishing, even more than it is today. With Darwin's name on it, I doubt this research would have made much of an impact, since many of those in power would have dismissed it out of hand.
I believe that was the live-action Richie-Rich movie... although there have been others, I think.

On the second-to-last big picture, the key has an orange colored bit, in the right corner. That orange was left off the key. What is it? (or don't you know?)

When he pronounces something is impossible, he is almost certainly wrong.

What about targeting the ads by the slash topic? Apple topic gets Mac adds. Linux topic gets the Redhat ads. Microsoft gets the...uhhhm...stupid ads?
Anyway. It should improve the S/N ratio of the ads. If you can do that, I don't mind them.

Guess how many of them do that.

The article does not say that these things use GPS, it says that there is no GPS on Mars, so we need new techniques.
If a page linked to in the world wide web, but nobody clicks on it...Is it still a web page?

You might also try finding a "Thompson's Chain Reference Bible." It's not that new of an idea.
