They determined the glycine was of extraterrestrial origin by measuring the amount of carbon-13 present and found it to be different from the earth. So, it didn't come from the earth. But, what always confuses me, if the carbon-13 ratios are different on the earth compared to comets, doesn't that argue that they formed from different source material?
Now, of course, one could pose that live music is different - audience engagement, showmanship - but this approach conveniently ignores the dull, uninspired playing of a bar pianist or wedding band who just wants to go home or get plastered.
I think live music is different. Only a few people appreciate music just for its mathematical beauty. They are overly represented on slashdot. Most people like music for the emotions it gives them. As a musician, "can you make folks feel what you feel inside" with your performance? You can do it with just the music/lyrics (recording), or body language (live only).
Body language is the extra way to emote. Talk to women; they really like recordings, but love a good live band because they can watch the performers' body language and feel what the artist is feeling inside. People will pick up on bored performers and be bored themselves. If a bar band isn't feeling anything inside (or can't express it), that just says they are bad, not that is isn't in play.
From the grid perspective, wind is not as predictable as other sources, so they may need to turn on generators to guarantee load coverage anyway. In that case, there is no carbon savings. It all depends on how predictable wind power is. Anyone know?
If your military is BIG enough, it performs defense just by existing. Kinda like nuclear weapons, they work without being fired. You think if we had no military, Mexico wouldn't have invaded us by now?
Clearly, the Tivo effect is causing this. With the ubiquitous DVR, everyone is skipping the regular add breaks, so the ads have to be mixed in with the content.
Got these from google with "plant vogtle new reactors". Not sure where things are RIGHT now, but the wheels ARE turning.
Georgia's twin-unit Vogtle plant has space for four reactors.
In August 2006, Southern Company filed an application with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an Early Site Permit for new units at Plant Vogtle, located near Waynesboro, Georgia. The permit will allow the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to review and pre-approve the plant site for future construction of new nuclear units and allow Southern Company to conduct design, construction, and other site-specific evaluations before we make the decision to build. We also would need approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission before making a final decision to build the new units.
from this month:
Georgia Power wants to build two additional 1,200-megawatt reactors at its Vogtle plant near Waynesboro. The utility is preparing to file an application with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which looks at safety and siting. However, the company also needs approval from the state Public Service Commission on how much the units would cost.
I have a machine w/10G RAM. I can only load about 15% of the articles in alt.binaries.hdtv before I run out and swapping only makes about 20% loadable before the slowdown is too much. So, I could literally use ALL of 64Gig.
I bet if you super-compressed it and then cooled it near absolute zero, it would stay in its super-compressed state. Of course, then we're back to same problem.
Let me ask you this. If the US was the most benevolent and harmless country ever, and had NO armed forces, do you think Canada, Mexico, or other wouldn't have taken us over by now? I think the US, as bad as it is, is about the best we (and the world) can hope for, as the alternatives would be the same or worse.
A NUMA Linux kernal, at startup, tests memory access speeds to all CPUs/Memory Controllers. *IF* there is a large discrepency in access times, the NUMA features are enabled. In my Dual Opteron, it decides access to the memory on each CPU from the other CPU is fast enough, so it disables NUMA and treats all memory as identical.
How did you wind up with all this hardware that doesn't work with your OS? It should be a straightforward matter to only buy things that are supported. Granted, you can't expect that sort of thing from windows users and maybe that is why Linux/* isn't for the general populace. But, If you had bought compatible stuff, it rewards the manufacturers that support linux.
No, the universe will disappear and be replace with a MOAR complicated universe. One with TWO (2) even harder to detect Higgs-Bosons. It is rumored this has already happened. More than once.
Why arent' the roads big enough for sidewalks? I bet they could put in sidewalks if they wanted to (to avoid accidents), but they'd rather keep the excuse to keep out trucks.

I WAS an SEC football fan. I'm not whether I'm allowed to be now. Can I not discuss the game with friends the next day now? Fuck that.
The red dwarf star Gliese 710 is predicted to come within nearly 1 light-year of the Sun ... about 1.5 million years from now
Its no problem as long as it only runs over the corpses that have been reanimated.
Have you tried mounting the samba share as type "cifs" rather than "smb"? That made a huge speed up for me, but I run gentoo.
...do the cellphone and PDA act as seconds?
That would make it a dual duel.

They left out the Air Force Major (Kong) who has to open the bomb doors and ride the bomb down while yelling.
Yeah, but in that situation, dropping the bomb WAS the kinder, gentler thing to do. It SAVED lives. I don't think you can agrue that today.

None of the reactors listed are below 1 GW of electric power.

What if a "truck over X lbs" needs to make a delivery in that city?
