The limit is defined by the amount of power you can reasonably draw from your system to generate the radiation. Higher frequency means more power is required to generate a 'low-power' beam.
The other limit is finding a suitably reflective material that is cheap enough to be used as media. X rays pass easily through plastics, and they are absorbed by lead. Gamma rays pass through most kinds of material. You need something that reflects well, and doesn't absorb the radiation, that can also be used to store distinct states and be mass produced easily.
More knowledgable certainly, but entirely possible to be smarter as well. With his amazing accumulation of knowledge, if he is able to reason and answer questions as quickly as he used to, then one must assume he is also getting smarter because indexing and sorting much more data in the same amount of time would represent a large increase in performance.
Man, I had a hard time typing like that, I detest discussing someone as if they were a machine, but I could think of no better way to make my point.
Thank god I already don't buy at best buy because of their crazily inflated prices unless they have a big sale on. Then I go in for just the heavily discounted item. Oh wait, I guess that makes me a devil.
Where I come from, honestly I could not say. My family lived there for at least 1700 years I presume. 500 that I know of, unfortunatly I am unable to trace my heritage far enough to know if I am descendant of the Romans, or of the native Germanic tribes that roamed the interior of Europe. Most likely some of both.
Where I live now, before we became a nation the British broke treaties that they signed in faith with the native north americans, however they along with the french allied with the native nations against their common foes. The native people of Canada, though not hunted and assimilated as ruthlessly as their southern neighbours, were not treated well at all. There still linger disputes, but our government now works to resolve them as best it can given the circumstances.
I make no excuses, nor deny what occured, nor deny them their right to their culture, their way of life, and of self government within the larger whole.
"If they dare to appeal, prosecutors should appeal to increase the prison term to the maximum too!"
This I believe is illegal, to increase a sentance based upon an appeal by the defence. At least, it is for sure in Canada, I'm not so sure about you crazy Americans;).
I was wondering about that. Late last night I saw that exit polls were showing Kerry had a 54-45 lead among women (54% of the population) and was down 52-47 among men (46% of the population) but was down nationally 53-47. I mean, that is an error of about 5%.
Common misconception, legalizing marijuana is not on the table at the moment except for chronic pain/palliative care situations. The bill being discussed is decriminilization, which means that possessing small quantities of marijuana will no longer land you a criminal record. Instead it will be a $150 to $800 fine. So marijuana won't be legal, it'll just be a less serious offence.
You do realize they are referring to INTERNAL cables don't you? I can't say I've ever had a computer where I tossed my IDE cables behind the desk, but it sounds intriguing.
It isn't supposed to be proof. Its additional evidence supporting evolution theory. Scientific theory isn't an absolute "this is the way things are", its a constantly changing thing as new information is processed. Old theories are updated or thrown out when new theories that better explain all available evidence are discovered.
In this case, the burden of proof is on creationism, it is a theory that claims to be the all and everything. For such a thing to be accepted it must be proven to be accepted as a law. Recursive theories cannot be accepted without a provable base-case, "it is true because it says so" is an invalid argument.
"Shouldn't you also be shunning us, since we take your precious word "football" and use it describe a sport that is nothing like what the rest of the world considers football?"
Sigh, this is what I mean when I say that Americans don't give a flying fk about us up here in Canada. I say we should cut loose of the travesty that claims to be Free Trade with the US, stop exporting them our oil, cut the Alaskan pipeline that runs through our wilderness and go our own way.
We do these things for them, and what do we get? Mockery, disdain, enormous resource tariffs, and they ignore the fact that we also call it soccer.

Funny... I had forgotten about how you treated Native Americans. But, at least I guess that proves that YOU haven't forgotten about that shame.
On the belt of American broken treaties and promises.
Nah, just do it at low tide. That'll solve all your problems.
"I don't know who I dislike more, Monsanto or the Drug Cartels..." ... or the lawyers.

Now, if only you could do it without all the bitching, moaning, lawyers, attack ads, personal insults, and outright lies.
Once you've accomplished that, then I will concede your statement. For now, I'll still much prefer being Canadian.

No you won't, because you'll still be getting fked over except that you'll be concious of it and more bitter as a result.

- A very interesting read, article at the TorontoStar. Let me know if you cannot access it and I'll post the text.
Australia is +10 GMT (average, they have multiple time zones) and N.A. is about -6 GMT. Thats 16 hours ahead.
Or if you look at it another way (because of the international date line) they are 8 hours behind, but 1 day ahead.

From all us non-american slashdotters, we let out a collective 'Aha!' after finally understanding how you actually decide who will be president.
