By that logic, I hope you're still using a 20 MB (that's Mega) hard drive, as the exact same sort of areal density argument, sans mispellings, can be used to espouse the superiority of those drives over the modern ones.
A naked and petrified Natalie Portman being flown by rocket belt into an industrial-sized vat of grits while being pursued by agents of the MPAA, with the excess splashing off onto a nearby beowulf cluster causing a kewl case mod.
According to most sources that I've seen, Baby Boomers are defined as being born between 1945 and 1964. Gen X is between 1966 and 1975. Those of us born in 1965 have really fallen between the cracks.
As part of grad school, I did several stints as a Teaching Assistant in physics. My all-time favorite calculator story came from a friend who claimed that a student once wrote down the answer to a problem on a quiz as:
9.99999999 99 blinking
For the younger folks, the separated "99" represents the ten power part, and older calculators would blink as the result of a divide-by-zero error.
If the enough Americans want to remove the electoral college it can be done. And then we would have a President elected by a simple majority.
In this case, "enough" is a huge percentage of the population, as it would require 2/3 of the states to ratify the amendment. The people of North Dakota, Alaska, etc, will never willingly give up their 3 electoral votes in exchange for at most the equivalent of 1 (in terms of straight population). So the nature of the system all but prevents its changing.
You never get to vote on what NASA does with "its" money; at best you get to vote for someone who may, or may not, vote on a huge budget with NASA's take a small part of the whole.
Since you state that you haven't done it since your first year of university (~18), and since that has been nearly 10 years ago (assume 9), it follows that you are now 27 y.o. That's far too old to learn math fundamentals like calculus, differential equations or complex analysis. Thanks for asking.
Even keeping with the simplistic Bohr visualization "model", this doesn't work. If you had 2 orbits per oscillation, then you at any given point on the circle, the value would be both +A and -A, which adds to 0. So, to have n=1/2, you have a "zero amplitude electron", which means an electron that cancels itself out: that is, non-existant. This violates conservation of charge and energy, among a whole slew of other things.
Nope, you're wrong. Any new theory must necessarily reduce to the old in the appropriate limits. Special Relativity goes to Newton for low velocity, General Relativity goes to Newton for low gravity, etc. If this weren't the case, then you'll wind up with a bunch of contradictory theories, or a disparate set of "rules" instead of a theory.
Absolutely, and another way of saying that is acceleration due to gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration due to any other force. Which, of course, implicitly assumes the equivalence of the inertial and gravitational masses.
Ok, I'm all for competition, and think choice makes everybody better. However, in this case, not forcing the phone co to share access to their lines could be a good thing. The reason is simple: this now gives them much more incentive to make the investments in "last mile" runs to residentials to all that dark fiber sitting out there. When they knew they would be forced to open those lines to competition, they had no incentive to make the runs, as they knew they would be undercut in pricing by ISPs "piggy backing" on their infrastructure investment. Consequently, all the dark fiber.
Now, however, they know they'll have a bona fide monopoly at least for a time. This gives them tremendous incentive to make the investment while they can charge premium fees for access.
There are so many inconsistencies and abuses in the system, it's absurd. I mean, not to play the martyr, but look at me: been reading slashdot since '98, relatively low UID, never purposefully trolled, etc. Yet a metamod bitchslap, when I had the audacity to mod up a well-reasoned post defending MS back in early 2000 put my karma at -10. Now here's the weird part. I still posted at 1 until my karma got above 0, then I started posting at 0, and have been ever since.
I corresponded with taco about a year ago on this, and his answer was "read the source". Assuming the SW is performing exactly as designed, how is "the source" going to explain the reasoning for such behavior? Assuming, of course, that I want to take the time to pick up Perl.

Funny, I recall that the decision had more to do with the inability to trademark/patent/copyright the nebulous quality "look and feel".
Not to mention, had Apple won, they would have immediately been sued by and lost to Xerox.
My first guess would be the way you hold the phone: Do you cradle it against your shoulder, holding it in place with your tilted head?
My second guess would be the volume setting on the speaker.
My third guess would be psychological.
Resistance is futile!
Time for a butterfly borg!
No, No, NO! It should be:

Now that's a slashdot story!
Perhaps they will blame Taiwan, and use it to justify a pre-emptive strike to reclaim the island.

There are only two sciences: Physics and stamp collecting.
Then let me be the first to say: 640 qubits is all anybody will ever need.
For (relatively) small amounts of data, excel is a good choice, particularly if you have to manipulate the data in some way (i.e. curve fit, etc).

Perhaps that's how they'll seque the franchise onto the big screen: they all drink genetically modified coffee, and gain different superpowers.
Is that pronounce Zee-land or Zed-land?

The fundamental difference, though, is that when you are driving, you are more in control of your own destiny, rather than just being cargo.

Since the source isn't release, I guess that the universe is at best gratis, but not libre.
Nor exhausted; quite the contrary, imbued with a manic energy.

Or perhaps, just perhaps, they are implicitly assuming that the teachers, if capable of using the software, will be able to teach the kids.
