If Ms. Drew is legally responsible for this girl's death, then should rappers be responsible for someone doing drive-bys because they heard it in the lyrics, or, to use an old reference, should Beavis and Butthead be responsible for some kids burning down a trailer park because the cartoon characters were pyros?
On cross examination, defense attorney H. Dean Steward quizzed Chu on why she didn't report the two conversations to the police or FBI after Megan's suicide. Chu didn't become a witness in the case until the FBI phoned her up for the first time last Thursday, even though she has a relative in the Bureau.
The FLOPS are measured by a benchmark program, The Linpack Benchmark that runs under OS overhead, so it would differ with different OSes and probably different configuration parameters in the same OS. I wouldn't be surprized if MS hadn't supplied significant engineering support to get the system tweeked to the T to nail down good numbers on the benchmark suite.
oh sure windowsXP SP2 is much easier. 1. click the download button, 2. click save to desktop, 3. right click file, and select all, 4. control c to copy to the clipboard 5. open shared folder 6. control v to paste the file 7. right click, run as admin 8. enter password 9. click ok on installer a gazillion times 10. enjoy the program
Of course windows Vista is a lot easier because they finally fixed the broken run as command but nobody runs vista.
how about 1. placing the desired file inside a carrier file and naming the Carrier File the MD5 sum of the payload, which would make it lees than trivial for the RIAA to ID copyrighted files. 2. a mechanism that obfuscated shared files by changing known bit to change the checksums and have every download different, again making it less than trivial for the RIAA to Id copyrighted files. 3. a compression technique that insured that the complete file has to be downloaded before any of it can be uncompressed, so they have to burn some bandwidth to make a case. and all of that was just off the top of my head.
obviously if they gave everyone a copy of every copyrighted work, we could use those to compare any downloads against and we could avoid unauthorised downloads of copyrighted material!
Are you implying that facilitating music piracy is legally equivalent to genocide, crimes against humanity, extrajudicial executions, war crimes, torture and forced disappearances?
you can get multifuel diesels that will run on anything from bunker fuel to 104 AV Gas. Stirlings were fantastic engines back in the days when they used to make steam boilers out of pig iron; and are still great for many applications, I just don't see this as one of them
The stirling engine is just a bullshit PR stunt, it isn't doing anything that an off the shelf 5 KW Honda generator from a hardware store couldn't do better and cheaper. Remember these guys made the segway so PR stunts aren't foreign to them. Nothing like throwing in an exotic axillary power unit to draw attention from the fact that the primary drive unit's spec are at best mediocre
I like everything about the aptera, except that one drive wheel rolling in the grease-pit. It just doesn't seem like the greatest idea. Where I'm from the center of the lane is a oily slimy mess in the rain and a pile of icy slush in the snow.
but are not all photons a manifestation of the electric interaction?
No, photons are the carrier of the electromagnetic force so all electrical phenomina are the manifestation of the electromagnetic force, not the otherway around.
Gamma is just energetic photons, more energetic than X-rays that are commercially produced by slamming electrons into tungsten targets. Gamma is typically produced by nuclear decay and is often where "missing mass" goes via the E = mC^2 so they are not an electron phenomena but a nuclear phenomena.
Teflon is actually a duPont trademark, so as long as charletons such as those guy's don't actually buy their PTFE resin from duPont then they can say they contain no teflon even tho it contains the exact same chemical resin. What I was talking about is actually making what these guys are misleading people into thinking they are making, a cook pan that a thin coating of diamond on the cooking surface that slight amount of greases and oils will adhere tenaciously to and allow food to cook on top of without sticking.
I'd think any rubber seals on the preasure cooker would breakdown at 800C, maybe something like an atomizer injecting into a vacuum chamber heated via an old microwave oven guts would do the trick.
The reason 70% is used is because purer alcohols dehydrates the bacteria and causes them to go into a sporuative phase and more difficult to kill. Ethanol, EtOH is sometimes denatured with methanol and sometime with other alkanes like heptane. EtOH typically comes out of the still at 190 proof or 95%, if memory serves me correctly you can get it up to 98% with additional treatment but it's expensive.
"To dissipate any doubts, one morning on the way to the lab I bought a pocket-size bottle of cheap white tequila and we did some tests," ApÃtiga said. "We were in doubt over whether the great amount of chemicals present in tequila, other than water and ethanol, would contaminate or obstruct the process,
they didn't use the good stuff they used cheep rot-gut tequila.

Maybe evidence that the DA needed was withheld.
a solid argument might be made for negligent homicide.
Because Elvis has dibs on it.
if they get a Woolly Mammoth to live the last thing they are going to do is have it neutered!
sure we'll model AGW in an Excel spreadsheet, that will convince those damned deniers!
like Ada?

actually the original gramophone invented by Tom Edison was purely mechanical, and included both recording and playback.
we'll just put sourceforge into our hosts file and catastrophe caused by the French weapon of mass destruction's is averted

So your saying that French law is a communicable disease?

a comparison to diesel-electric locomotive engines might be more realistic than buses and semi tractors.

That's a waste of good tequila, c'mon...
