Consider a game. Imagine that there are 100 people that would pay $30 for the game and a further 20 people that would pay $20 for the game.
Now the 20 people that would pay $20 for the game might consider buying it for $30 if they knew they could resell it for $10 - thus paying $20 in total. i.e. there are people who might pay full price for the goods because they expect to get some money back from resell.
Yes they do. Buying used pushes up demand and prices of used games. This means that the cost of buying then selling is decreased leading to an incentive for people to buy more.
We did the arm chip which I think is very very similar (it all being RISC and all). But that's not surprising since it was our professor that designed and made the arm chip in the first place:-)
Interesting when woman are ovulating they become more horny, and the desire to have sex with a partner other than their husband increases. You can explain this from the view of evolution (Best for a woman to be fertilised by the best man she can, but best for her to actually stay and live with her partner), but I think it would be hard for a fundamentalist to explain.
You can't even test and prove the theory gravity. If I drop a cup and see it fall, all I've done is shown that it falls today. It doesn't prove that it will fall tomorrow.
Since it's monochromatic, rather than having a moving mirror, you could instead have an LCD and display a diffraction grating on it. Then as you change the diffraction grating, you move where the pixel is pointing. It's been done, at least at low energies.
I'm not sure quite what you mean by a "full colour laser". You can have three colour laser beams - one in R, one G and one in B. However ideally for full colour representation you want 5 beams. This is because it's monochromatic and the eye's sensors overlap a lot over wavelengths.
Kinetic energy is 1/2 * mass *velocity^2 and so depends on mass and velocity. Time dilation only depends on velocity. So it's somewhat incorrect to state the time dilation is because of high kinetic energy. For example. Consider a train. That will have a very large mass but slow velocity. Overall it probably has a higher kinetic energy than a muon, yet does not experience time dilation.
Argh damnit! Why does this lie keep getting perpetuated?
Seriously, try to find any source for that. Archimedes didn't even write like that (even translated). That 'quote' is only about 50 years old - not a few thousand. It's a urban legend that has been shown to be wrong over and over.
I was also really annoyed at the name. They take the name for a project to get man to a planet on another solar system, and use it for this much much smaller project.:(
What is very cool is to get Skim and scim working. This is the input method for other languages - so you can type Chinese etc.
But there is also a Latex input method. This means you can type, say, \theta in any app and get a unicode theta symbol. I use this daily in konversation (IRC client) to write math equations.

I have added konversation (IRC) and kopete (msn, icq) support to Katapult.
Run konversation or kopete. Right click on a nick. Chose addressbook->add contact
Then launch katapult with: alt-space then you can type in the nickname or the full name and then enter and that will start a chat with the person in konversation or in kopete, which ever is most appropriate (if the person is in both, it compares away status etc.)
Another cool trick is in konqueror you can type:
kde://radio
and it goes to the kde radio site:-)

There is no evidence at all that Socrates said that at all. Probably some joker made it up in the 1950's then attributed it to Socrates.
Besides, there's no way Socrates would speak like that. This was 2500 years ago.
What Socrates did say however, on a similar line, is:
. . . A boy must hold his tongue among his elders. . . . Greed was abhorred, it was taboo to snatch Radish tops, aniseed, or parsley before your elders, Or to nibble kickshaws and giggle and twine one's feet. . . . So, you shall learn to hate the Agora, And shun the baths and feel ashamed of smut; . . . And to get up and give your seat to your elders, And not to behave towards your parents rudely . . .
Hi,
You believe God can't lie, but what about the bible? Do JWs believe the bible is 100% correct? Is there a particular translation that is 100% correct? Or do JWs feel that the bible might have had human faults introduced when it was written down by humans?

If it was a mischaracterization then please explain where exactly I'm wrong.
You say I have the right to swing at you as long as I don't hit you. Right?
> "Your right to swing your arms ends where my nose begins."
Do you actually believe this? It's okay for me to come up to you and start trying to punch you, but it's okay as long as I don't manage to hit you?
.. which was exactly what the grandparent said
You're not seeing the bigger pictures (tm) ;-)

Maybe you could launch lots of say 0.5kg payloads. Of course then you have a bigger problem with air friction :/
Out of interest, does it matter if 75% of research patients are male? Don't we pretty much all have the same hearts? (Then again..)

4. No preaching. I don't really give a rat's ass about what is free and what isn't.
That's okay. I, to be totally frank, don't particularly care if you become a linux user or not.
Bah women are such complainers.
You have to reject relationships. That's easy.
The men however have to try to build and get a relationship. That's far far harder.
Women have it easy and don't even realise it.
Damn scots. Doing things their own way just for stupid pride. You can speak english well enough. Forking for no reason. So annoying.
Wow. I'm not even vegetarian, but your post was so stupid that you are giving us meat eaters a bad name.

You have some wrong ideas about science I think.

"exponentially better " - wtf does that mean? "exponential" is a function. Your sentence doesn't make any sense.
Kinetic energy is 1/2 * mass *velocity^2 and so depends on mass and velocity. Time dilation only depends on velocity. So it's somewhat incorrect to state the time dilation is because of high kinetic energy. For example. Consider a train. That will have a very large mass but slow velocity.

In general be careful with the terms

I went to the MSNBC website to check. They do have that story, but a fairer comparision would be the story that was posted a few minutes before it:
