For me, the problem was not the cramped living space and lack of creature comforts, but rather that most good plots either don't have a road leading to them or there is already a house there. Maybe finding a good spot is a skill that can be acquired, and maybe you're aiming for more sparsely populated areas than I was. I ended up in parking lots, on camping grounds (which don't appeal to me), next to a noisy road or in the dark woods. As an exercise, try going for a drive and see what spots you find where you could put your future RV.
Though, it seems the Javascript designers must have liked Pascal. Why else would they use "function" and "var"?
Nah, JavaScript syntax has, as far as I have been able to tell, no differences from C syntax unless where functionality dictates it. "function" and "var" are cases in point: In a C program, these keywords are replaced by type specifiers. JavaScript doesn't specify types, so they had to come up with something else to put in those places. Technically, they could have used the same keyword in both spots, but I guess they didn't come up with one that made linguistic sense in both places.
Well, that's what I thought until I tried. Connected a laser pointer to a signal generator and measured its light output. As the frequency increased above about 1 MHz, the modulation level decreased to a non-usable level.
I didn't read the article yet, but in general a negative pressure in a liquid means that you're trying to pull it apart with external forces, a bit like a solid under tension. Usually an unstable situation, since a cavitation bubble would be energetically favorable.
You just split off the hindmost car at each station. Or for those who enjoy spoon-feeding: Say you have a train line with 8 stations, call them station 0..7. Typically, station 0 and 7 are big cities, station 1..6 are small ones. Start the train at station 0 with 6 cars, call them 1..6, where 6 is at the front of the train, 1 at the back. If you're going to station no. n, get into car no. n. If you're going to station 7, get into any car. Car no. n gets split off from the rest of the train at station no. n. The split-off cars continue their journey after their stop and join up with previously split-off cars from the same train once they regain cruise speed. At station 7, the whole train stops.
Advantage: All stations 1..6 get connected nonstop to cities 0 and 7, while passengers going from 0 to 7 only need to stop once. Of course, this requires each car to be motorized and automatically controlled. Also, it only works if you're going from station 0 to n or from station n to 7, not from n to m. Additionally, the idea is surely not original so feel free to google that for me.
In Norway for example, patients can freely choose their primary care doctor and hospital, and the money follows the patient, so the incentives are the same.
Health systems in the (rest of) EU are also state run - so this explanation doesn't quite explain the observation, which I have heard before and therefore believe: That antibiotic use in Scandinavia is less prevalent than the (rest of the) EU.
Does "gene therapy" have such a bad name...

You can't revoke a non-revokable license agreement, i.e. the agreement between company X and anyone who's downloaded the product. However, the agreement only applies to whatever they've downloaded and nothing impedes the copyright holder from making different agreements with other licensees, in practice in conjunction with new versions.
IANAL, but... I suppose there is a copyright notice in there somewhere. Is it Copyright (C) 20xx My Old Employer Inc. or Copyright (C) 20xx My Name? Whoever has the copyright gets to choose the license for future versions. If it's your name in the copyright notice, you probably have a better case than if it's theirs.
So, you're a pirate and the merchant ships have started firing back and sinking your colleagues. What's your next move? Might I suggest that you bring a couple of hostages, staff from one of the ships you currently have captured perhaps. Now, that makes everything a bit more complicated, doesn't it?
It seems people just don't want to contemplate the most likely sender of this packet. North Korea have launched numerous rockets in the past, some of them flying over Japan, causing a lot of anger and concern. They are predictably unpredictable and less than a month ago called a us-led naval exercise off its coast a "declaration of war". Whether this is a response or perhaps last month's harsh words were a run-up to a long planned demonstration. Either way, it's the only explanation that makes sense.
This is good news, since JavaScript is a good language. I've been working on a pet project for a while, which could perhaps be combined with this, to simplify the inclusion of snippets of C code where performance is an issue. Have a look at

1. Connection-oriented protocols can be implemented in lower-level, connectionless protocols using a session id. HTTP/1.1 keeps its connection alive, which mitigates the overhead in establishing new connections. 2. Don't quite understand what you have in mind here. 3. XMLHTTPRequest can send text or binary data, despite its name. 4. We are talking about ~1 kB of code, to be loaded once per website.
Not that I would force it down anyone's throat, but two languages should do for most jobs: One loose and fluffy scripting language and one tight and hard compiled language.
The choice is simple, really. The tight and hard one must be C (or C++) because of its total dominance in its domain.
The fluffy one should be JavaScript (don't laugh) for at least two reasons: 1. Some part of your organisation probably has to deal with JavaScript anyway and 2. JavaScript's syntax so closely matches that of C that it is possible to automatically generate completely transparent wrappers for absolutely any C function.
So that't what I've been up to on my spare time for the past couple of years: http://jsext.net
P.S. If you don't take JavaScript seriously as a programming language (most programmers don't), you probably haven't watched any of Douglas Crockford's talks. Check them out. They're online.
That's precisely the way it works in Norway. Used electronic equipment can be returned in any shop which sells similar equipment. The costs are covered by producers and importers of electronic equipment through a mandatory membership in a government-approved recycling company.
How about a lineup of 8 faces in profile, to be matched with 1 head-on shot. Human must succeed at n out of m consecutive lineups (adjustable parameters). Pictures to be collected from old police archives.
Ask the user to perform a task that only a computer is likely to succeed at, like factorizing a 6-digit number. If the user gives the right answer, and this is the cunning part: Then it's not a human!
I installed Vista on my desktop computer a month ago to fix some compatibility issues with software I wrote. Firstly, the upgrade process was a pain in the behind. It took numerous reboots and trials before I figured out that to get the installer working, I needed to reduce the display resolution (you wouldn't guess that in the first half hour, would you?). Should be mentioned that I use a triple-head setup (Matrox Parhelia 128MB). That graphics card has never bothered me in XP - and I don't see why it should under Vista. Even after disabling every single piece of visual snacks, desktop looking like Windows 95, everything ran eight times slower than under XP. Which means tapping fingers while waiting for file explorer windows to open. I have a screenshot of my favourite dialogue box somewhere: "Moving file xyz.txt (324 bytes). Estimating remaining time...". The task manager has not changed visibly since XP and should consume about the same CPU load as before (about 3-5%). Nope. Under Vista, the task manager consumed a whopping 35-40%. This was on a 2.4GHz celeron.
After fixing the compatibility issues I had, I reinstalled XP.
Vista reminds me of Windows 98 and Me, the final and unimpressing generations of OSes descending from Chicago code. Back in the day, Microsoft saved their day by abandoning that code and switching to the fresher code base of NT 4.0. To me, it seems that the golden years of that code are now behind it and I don't see any replacement coming out of Redmond.
Had the internet had the topology of a mesh, then you would be right. However, the internet has a hierarchical structure where things like cities and nations frequently show up as hubs. As an example: The number of hops from my computer in Oslo to a server in Tromsø (same nation) is most likely smaller than the number of hops to a server in Gothenburg (different nation), even though the geographical distance is shorter to Gothenburg.

California may be west of many things, but last time I checked it was on the east side of the Pacific.
How about this: Try to just attach some connectors and see how it works.

According to Wikipedia, it is designed with room for a docking port at the other end.
