The biggest advantage to Linux in my opinion is the ability to update the various tools you need with one click or command; in Windows you can't even update all of the Microsoft products with one click. The other thing I don't understand is why I can't find an virus infected file and overwrite with the file off a Microsoft FTP site?
forgemil.com resolves fine in my browser, forge.mil requires that a dod root certificate be entered, and also seems to be slashdotted at times. The official forge.mil site requires DOD credentials so the projects can be edited, forgemil.com seems to be read only.
No it doesn't, but when company is coming over, the house gets cleaned up better than when it just us, like wise when your source is exposed to public scrutiny, you clean it up a bit better as well. The cleaner the code, the easier it is to update and maintain.
Interesting, the majority of the truly vicious wars were really about things other than resources. I guess if your fighting over resources there comes a point where the effort involved exceeds the value of the resources desired and this is a restraining factor.
We've all seen the legal action against major tech companies about anti-competitive behaviour, price-fixing, and what-not, the emails from within Microsoft, etc. I'd think that at this point, anyone blindly assuming incompetence instead of malice on the part of a BigCo is kinda stupid.
You say that like malice and incompetence are mutually exclusive; I imagine execs at that level have wide spectrum of competencies and incompetencies to enough ego to render the later invisible to the introspective eye.
But with enough goading their code will come up to FOSS standards, and if they can pull their heads out into the sunshine it would even help their proprietary work.
Not to mention the number of people who will simply say screw it and replace their 15 year old obsolete energy hog CRT TV with a modern and much more energy efficient LCD TV that is digital ready.
The problem is they are typically alpha emitters, alpha particles can't even penetrate your dead skin layer so when they are outside of you they are harmless; but if you ingest them your body absorbs all of the radiation and it does a lot of damage. Neutrons and gamma rays on the other hand mostly go through you so outside or inside doesn't make that much difference.
How about the radioactive fly-ash laden with mutagenic coal-tars from a coal-fired power plant, fall on a bunch of love-children hippy types smoking the demon weed marijuana and turn them into face-eating zombies?
Jimmy Carter was trained in Nuclear powerplant operations,
Falcon
He dropped out due to personal reasons, the trained implies completion.
Upon the death of his father, James Earl Carter, Sr., in July 1953, however, Lieutenant Carter immediately resigned his commission, and he was discharged from the Navy on October 9, 1953.[11][12] This cut short his nuclear powerplant operator training, and he was never able to serve on a nuclear submarine, since the first boat of that fleet, the USS Nautilus, was launched on January 17, 1955, over a year after his discharge from the Navy.[13]Jimmy Carter
Interestingly wikipedia says He helped clean-up a Canadian reactor that puked it's core, "Carter completed a non-credit introductory course in nuclear reactor power" and left the Naval Nuclear power program before graduation.
Generic Mapping Tools will do some really spectacular plots, and is GPL'ed software, Cygwin or Windows Services for Unix let it run in windows YMMV. It's commandline but gui add-ons are available
The observations of the researcher's article are quite specific, and the manufacturer's could easily disprove them if their arguments were in fact supported in the scientific literature as the manufacturer's claim.
I would think that there is a much larger body of scientific studies publish that support the principals used in the E-meter in deception detection than there seems to be for these voice stress detectors.
Which means that any mini-black hole would very quickly leave the Earth, or have to lose enough momentum that it ceases to be a black hole.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. In fact, the interactions that are most likely to produce black holes are the ones in which all kinetic energy is converted to matter. So the resulting black hole would have little or no momentum at all. Black holes, as far as I know, do not require momentum to exist.
The protons don't have enough rest mass to be a mini-blackhole so as their velocity decreases so will their mass, E=MC^2, M=E/C^2 therefore losing momentum i.e. velocity means losing mass and the mini-blackhole ceases to be black and is a normal particle once more. Mass and Energy are equivalent at these scales. You are confusing more typical blackholes created from collapsed stars with mini-blackholes, they are very different critters.
Additionally because blackholes may have charge, and the LHC collides positively charged protons, any created blackholes are most likely to be positively charged, they would be repelled by the earth's atom's nucleus where most mass is; and possibly just circulate through the collider like the other positively charged particles there.
This is certainly an astute observation. We can likely assume that, worst-case scenario, were any collider to create a long-lived black hole, it could be contained as long as the vacuum and superconducting magnets were maintained.
And when the vacuum or containment is lost all of the circulating particles will quickly dissipate through collisions with other particles, or escape the Earth.
Also the mini-blackholes would only be blackholes along a narrow cone on the axis of travel; and would be normal particles perpendicular to it's axis of travel.
This is nonsensical to me. I am not a physicist, but my understanding is that the existence of a black hole is not subject to one's frame of reference.
Well consider this, proton A is circulating clockwise at 99.999999% of the speed of light and Proton B is circulating at 99.99999% counter clockwise, without special relativity, they would have a approaching velocity just shy of twice the speed of light. This is impossible, relativistic effects are the dominate factor for anything traveling at these speeds, and with out the relitivistic effect of mass increase and time-space dilitation the mini-blackholes could not be created or even exist in the first place. We're not talking about slinging a million solar masses around the ring, we're talking about protons and their collision products. We've "shot" neutrinos through the Earth from Chicago to Tokyo without hurting anything, if these mini-blackholes are real and not just a aberration of mathematics, they'll pass through the Earth as harmlessly because we are still here after 4.5 billion years of being peppered by cosmic rays with much higher energies.
According to general relativity, energy is equivalent to matter, and matter can be created from the kinetic energy of rapidly moving particles.

Most of the NIMBYs are making the mistake of trying to understand quantum mechanics as if it were classical.

MS isn't top dog because they made a deal with satan, it's because they made their operating system the most idiot-friendly.
After singing it praises, I might have worded that differently.

every time my kernel upgrades I hold my breath and hope X starts up due to nVidia drivers being proprietary.

Why not just not use the word nuclear, we'll just call them fission power plants!
155mm and 8 in howitzers are both cannons and both can shoot nuclear projectiles.

you can't contain neutrons magnetically because they are neutral electrically.

I wish the FOSS could do similar detailed analysis with approximately 800 line of Visual Basic!
