It does burn much hotter, in my industry, we sometime use hydrogen/oxygen flames for welding/soldering and typicaly the gas is bubbled through ethanol to cool the flame down from it's normal 5,000+ degree tempeature to make it more usable, we generate the gas in a bench top unit, in goes HOH, KOH + electricity out comes 2H2 + O2 through one tube bubbled through the EtOH, out through one tube to the torch head where we light it!
One Mole of H2 has much less exothermic energy than one Mole of methane or any other hydrocarbon compound. OBTW that big fire ball of the Hindenberg was caused by Aluminum pigment in the Paint. Aluminum powder is used in making thermite, and thermite is used to burn through just about anything. I'd worry more about the pressure bottle physicaly bursting sharpnel ect. more than what's in the bottle.
"What if some other research group takes your code, makes changes, and is then able to print more papers then us, get more funding than us, etc.?"
The trollish thing to say would be they are smarter, or more politicaly astute to peer-reveiw ect. But the reality is if your concern is protecting your IP, then trying to force fit a project into a F/OSS is probably going to be a lose-lose proposition, it'll make you look bad, it'll hurt your project and give ammo to people who are knee-jerk against F/OSS.
Maybe a compromise would be to develope it in modules, the framework could easily be in F/OSS with unrestricted developement which run inner modules for each simulation, that could be distributed or not under any license or agreement you like. The LGPL might be a good fit for this pardigm, basicaly allows porprietary to link to F/OSS without bringing the proprietartion under the F/OSS umbrella.
Not even the Much viliafied US Government cant take my property without due process. Linus doesn't own Linux, well actualy he owns the trademark Linux, but not the thingy it represents, he only owns the code He wrote that compiles into the thingy. there are many other people who own the code they wrote, a lot of people own parts, but no one person owns the whole. The GPL was done that way on purpose, attacking GPL'd software is like punching water, you can swing all day with no effect, the whole just keeps filling in.
It works that way because ownership is extremely distributed; there is no place to attack. Hypotheticaly; if SCO beets IBM, the code just gets rolled back to the pre-infringement point, and were back where we are now in 6 months. Hell if we know where the supposed pre-infringement point was, the patches would have been written long ago just in case!
I want to further restrict the changes that can be made without needing an open release of the changed software. Nearly every F/OSS license considers the criteria to be the release of any software.
That would be against any sense of freedom My feeble mind can imagine. Practicaly it would be impossible to enforce without an "ET phone home" function which would move your software into the relm of spyware. The only way around that would be a gentlemen's agreement based on an honor system, which would be un-enforceable. The reason FOSS consider release or distribution of a copy as the criteria is because they delgate the copyright owner's right to distribute to the licensee. When you want to control use, you need a patent, not a copyright.
A mandate to submit internal changes, to me would be an amalgamation of the worst aspects of FOSS and Proprietary software. With FOSS, it's my decision to release changes I've made, or to not distribute the changes I've made; normaly most of us release the change out of a sense of community spirit even when we don't distribute a derived work. By have a clause that would force me to release the change without an ouside distribution, I'd feel like I was in servitude to you rather than in colaboration with you.
My estimate is that this would be in violation of the GPL as it places additional restrictions on the work, and if your work contained GPL'd code, you'd be infringing on others copyrights. If your work didn't contain GPL'd code you would OK legaly, but GPL coder's would find your license abhorent.
Actualy a big part of the problem is the federal forces have no respect for the National Guard or the Reserves (at least Officialy). Durring the Clinton administration (and the Carter administration) the Reserves, and especialy the National Guard were realigned, almost all units were re-trained into non-Combat Arms areas. The unit I retired from has participated in every war and conflict from Iraq to the Blackhawk Indian wars (it was actualy hard to carry our Battalion Colors because of the weight from all of the battle streamers), and been realigned 5 times in 3 years, including 3 times that required re-schooling everbody!A huge waste of both taxpayer money and the experience of the units. Anyways as of last our battalion is no-more and our history is at an end. I often wonder what the Military Police at Abu Graib did 1 or 2 years ago. Such a waste the the NG and Reserves greatest asset has always been their long institutional and personnal experience.
Jeremy Jaynes, AKA "Gaven Stubberfield,"...notably known for his bestiality-porn spam... the defendant peddled... history-eraser program, a penny stock picker, and the Federal Express refund processor.... to 12,000 to 17,000 people a month, accruing $400,000 to $700,000 in sales per month. 15 and 33 percent of all of the purchases were charge backs.
so let's look at it 1. AKA "Gaven Stubberfield," some how I doubt that was a legaly registered DBA 2. bestiality-porn illegal everywhere I'd imagine 3. sold worthless product I'd call that fraud 4. 15-33% charge-backs, no wonder I can't get reasonable transaction processing for online purchases 5. I'd also bet he wasn't real good at paying federal and state income taxes, nor state sales taxes
now if that prossecuter realy had a clue he'd realize that this Jeremy Jaynes, was also in violation of 47 USC 227 and sue him on behalf of the citizens for actual monetary loss or receive $500 in damages for each violation, or both such actions. If the court finds the defendant willfully or knowingly violated such regulations, the court may, in its discretion, increase the amount of the award to an amount equal to not more than 3 times the amount available under the preceding sentence. because he habitualy sent to "telephone facsimile machine" means equipment which has the capacity(emphisis mine) (A) to transcribe text or images, or both, from paper into an electronic signal and to transmit that signal over a regular telephone line, or (B) to transcribe text or images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone line onto paper.
$500 X 17,000/mo. works out to 850,000 which after taxes would leave him in the hole to the tune of $38,3333/ mo.
If they actualy gave a shit about users wouldn't they test for things like this, how hard is it to throw psuedo-random garbage at a program in testing to see if and where a buffer is going to over-flow? Any part of a program that excepts external input needs to assume that input is bad until proven otherwise; and it needs to have a ton of garbage as well as valid input thrown at that input to make sure it realy does.
I was being a bit flip about it, but we work for 40 yrs, retire for 20yrs so it's about a third of our wages for our benefit, and double it to pay the interest on the "trust fund".
and the being broke part is using the paycheck definition, "if I spend all my money, then I'm broke until I get my next paycheck".
When will social security run out of money? They ran out on 5 Nov 2004, they run out again on 7 Dec 2005. Benefit checks usualy arrive on the 2nd, give 2 day for clearence and SS is broke.
How much would the Social Security tax need to be raised for the fund to remain solvent? Probably from 15% to 60%, that's not percent increase it's from 15% of your wages to 60% of your wages ( don't forget about the 30% in income taxes) which would leave your take home pay at about 10%.
Don't believe it, just sit outside a Denny's at 11:30 Am on the 3rd or 4th of a month and count how many 65 yr old daughters are take their 85 year old mother's old for lunch with their social security checks.
My retirement plan is to call in sick the day before I die.
She'd know you were lying, because if your standing in line at the door at opening time, "the advertised memory will come in later in the day", and if your not standing in line, then it would be "sorry the store's allocation all ready sold out." The only thing I buy there is DVD's anymore.
I think these tests seem to be weak on the causality side because they assume that by taking "good" computer literate students, finding out what the skill sets they have in common will continue to identify "good" computer literate students after enough people have been exposed to the test to create "brain dump" style cramming programs.
I remember the uproar in our county when testing for computer skills in our county government employees started, of course the county used MS Word for word processing, and the testing org tested them with Pagemaker! Some how I aways surmised that the people who passed the test using a program they have never seen before, were more computer literate, than the people who memorized everything about MS Word and freaked when they saw Pagemaker.
both tasks probably are similar when you can do both and are probably very different for Kim who can't. I find I can find things easily when I put them in a physical location, but when my wife moves them and merely tells me where they are I'm unlikly to remember the new location. My guess is if his parents wrote a book "where things are" and always put things in their place, Kim would be excellent at telling you where they were kept even down to detailed directions to get them, yet would still be unable to get them himself.
Back in the day when Dr. Dobbs had theoretical articals about computer science and Byte had had construction articals that involve chip sockets and wire-wrapping; Unix and Ada seemed to me to be technologies that would be important in the future. Well now I'm using Linux and with it Ada compilers are common-place, what happened to Ada. If memory serves me correctly Ada either solved, or was well on it's way to solving a lot of the problems we are working on today such as reliable code, threading, and even multiple process programs.
In Microsoft's case, it's likely because the truth is fatal to their way of doing business.
I'm thinking that the differences between MS and Linux are more philosophical and the truth will not be fatal i.e. Microsofties like tightly integrated applications, for one purpose that does everything they need and don't care that they don't do any of them particularly well or that they have 3 app to edit graphics (the one that came with the web cam, the on from the OEM and the one from the digital camera) and Linux people like smaller app's that do one or two things well and can be plumbed together in a ad hoc fashion to accomplich a given task set.
not even much of a paper, I'd rate it 10th grade level stuff. how about the holes, start with sand, draw out Silicon xtal from melt (how to get from sand SiO2 to Si?) or how about zone refinement to purify the Si ingot? cut into slice, with what? a diamond crystal, a diamond saw, how do they align the photolithography mask to each layer at 90nM?
The concept involved is fair-trade, the idea is if all of the retail outlets begin sales at the same date, then they all have a fair shot at the market. By agreeing to the "street date" then the stores will get their shipments in time for the street-date without worrying about shipments delayed by third-party shippers. Outlets that violate the street-dates have to worry about their early shippment agreement getting voided, and the their shippments will be timed to arrive just-in-time rather than in-plenty-of-time. Now I doubt that they will do this with Meijers because they are a huge outlet, in their market area, Walmart competes with Meijers, not the other way arround. Most likely what happened is some minimum-wage sales clerk either put them out to soon cluelessly, or thought it was a good idea to jump the street-date.
The interesting part is it maybe illegal under BC's FOIPPA for anyone anywhere to release the privacy info which could lead to some nasty catch-22's. I know in the US some laws are "illegal for anyone in the US" and some are "illegal period". I've purposely tried not to even think about PATRIOT vs. HIPPA conflicts.
PhotoShop esentials, that came with the digital camera,
Ulead Photo Explorer 6.0 that came with a web-cam,
Dell image expert, Paint shop pro,
Presto Mr. Photo,
OpenOffice photo editing capabilities,
MS Office 2003photo editing capabilities,
Paint bundled with WinXP itself by MS.
And each one of these except the two GIMPs, probably came with their own DLL's potentialy overwriting DLL's in system updatess. So I don't get your point.
It's more a matter of percieved risk rather than risk, Linux is percieved as being written by a bunch of social miss-fits rather than the reality of being written by software engineers sponsored by major corperations. Many managers have a risk-adverse, rather than risk-management, management style; therefore any risk is percieved as dangerous, especialy if there isn't a multi-billion dollar corp to scape-goat.
well maybe he didn't want to submit to the Extended Warrenty Extortion. Personaly I feel if a product doesn't last a year, it was defective fom the git-go.
they analyzed NV both as a vote as the final outcome, i.e. a nay if the bill failed, and as asssumed from previous record; personaly I favor the former as it usualy means "I don't have the balls to vote on this, and the outcome is certain anyways".
The content often has very little to do with the name or the summary Usualy seems to mean the opposite in my experience, then when you get to the admenments, it's like trying to read a patch file, insert comma here, change "and" to "and or" in sec 15 para 3 line 2 ect. . Maybe we should introduce a bill to force congress to use CVS!

The Air Force always displayed a willingness to treat their ANG as a partner, often pulling mission as well as training on a given weekend.
