The book _I, Robot_ was a collection of loosely related short stories or a single short. What connection there was between the movie and Asimov's writings were mostly from a single story in that collection, "Little Lost Robot". As far as good or bad, while most tend to agree that "Blade Runner" is a great movie, it has little to do with the novel _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep_
In 1895, China transferred control of Taiwan to Japan.
In 1911, China became the Republic of China (ROC).
In 1945, as a result of the loss of WWII, Japan transferred control of Taiwan to the ROC.
In 1949, the mainland became the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the ROC govenrment went into exile in Taiwan.
Since 1949 the ROC has controlled Taiwan and a few minor offshore islands (like Jinmen) and the PRC has controlled the Mainland and a number of other offshore islands.
Currently, only the PRC has a seat in the UN and few countries officially recognize the ROC.
The VLBA is capable of 0.17 milliarcseconds at 0.7 cm wavelength (but only 22 at 90 cm). Resolution is proportional to wavelength and inversly proportional to the effective size of your reciever (Theta=1.220 lambda/D). The Spektr article doesn't specify the wavelength in question, but since it will be working in conjunction with ground based recievers, it should have an effective diameter greater than the VLBA's 8611 km.
The amount of polar ice on the time scales you are talking about are a weather phenomenon. Many global warming advocates are certainly guilty of catastrophism and it does make their case harder to swallow, but you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I don't know where you get this Christian crap. I was active in the BSA from 1975 until 1995 as both a youth and an adult. While it has always been clear that they support the belief that religion was important for good citizenship, I never saw any indications of an implication toward specifically Christian. The Synagogue that sponsor scout troops would also be rather surprised about this. I know that the books on religion included a number of non-Christian religious medals.
I am sorry, but the Girl Scouts did no have to deal with the (incorrect but at one time widely held) belief that there was a correlation between (male) homosexuality and pedophilia.
Well known by whom? To the best of my knowledge there are only a very few cases where mammals are toxic to eat and they don't correlate with whether the mammals in question are carnivores, omnivores, or herbivores.
I thought it wasn't legal, actually... NSA is for internal, CIA is for external. Kind of like the distinction between MI5 and MI6 in the UK...
NSA or more properly NSA/CSS has two missions. Signals Intelligence and Information Assurance. They are part of the Department of Defence. MI5's mission is more like part of the FBI's mission. NSA's equivalent in the UK is GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters).
The Xeon number do indeed look wrong, but the PIII numbers (core wise) seem consistent with what I listed (using indices for simplicity 91.9*866/600=132.6 vice 156.2 [17% difference] and 54.5*866/600=78.7 vice 87.5 [11% difference]). Unfortunately I do not have a Celeron based machine set up right now to do a run myself.
Sorry to keep at it. I was finally able to look at those two RPi links (the sites were blocked) . The difference between the two of them has to do with the SD card in use (I/O speed) and they are both soft float benchmarks so the floating point performance is awful. My figures were for hard float (explaining why they got about 30 MWIPS and the one I referenced got 270 MWIPS).

Of course your example has almost nothing to do with the BASIC that its creators created.
I think you misunderstand. I literally meant late in the year 1980 (the year that John was shot), not late in the 1980s.
I remember in late 1980, the dark joke going around was "What would it take to get the Beatles back together? Three more bullets."
Statically link that and see how much worse it becomes.
And what pray tell would you say that sponges are if not animals?
I totally agree. What kind of an idiot gives their passowrd to an administrator?
Can't have the U.S. back unless they amend their constitution. It currently prohibits the stationing of foriegn troops in the Philippines.
You mean like using 3D printing to make a titanium jaw?

I don't know about you, but growing up the nearest that I was to school was 3 miles and it was typically around 30 miles.
They went digital then they switched from VHS to DVD.

Even *if* you had a point, is seems pretty screwy for a mini computer to be smaller than a microcomputer.
In the early 90s and losing my job due to lost funding.

You never will accept because what you are saying is until they can predict the weather a year out you will not trust climate models.
Chose? The U.S. embargoed sales of helium to Nazi Germany, their choices were either use hydrogen, or not have the airships.

I like that it is stated as four hundred dollars mega dollars!
