The 2nd ammendment is unique. It's the only one that contains justification for the right in question. The "well regulated Militia" part of the 2nd ammendment is the justification not the protected right. The right is grants is as follows: The "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
In light of the whole text of the ammendment the supreme court in Heller has interpreted "the people" to mean any "law-abiding, responsible citizen". So the supreme court disagrees with you.. A single person at an airport IS still a "well regulated Militia"..
None the less... the meek and calow have conviced our government to trample our rights for their temporary perception of safety..
Gasoline takes between 4kWh and 7.5kWh per gallon to refine. Electric cars can go between 16 (on the low end) and 41 miles (on the high end) on that same amount of electricity. Unless your replacing a gasoline car that gets better that 40mpg you are NOT just moving the pollution. Replacing a car that gets 16mph and you are completely eliminating the pollution from he petroleum refining process and burning at the vehicle, but also REDUCING the pollution generated by the local power plant as your using fewer total kWh. Of course the answer is "it depends" but for the average case you argument is basically pro-oil nonsense..
Yes there a "secret".. It's Ahmdal's Law. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law) Mobile computing tends to be single task centric, and doesn't yet have the high level of parallelism to utilize a high core count.. It's not rocket science, it's just regular science, and they don't have to play the marketing core count game since there's a dual core now that outperforms...
Ok.. It appears that they used both. I should have read the whole article.. The hydrazine was expended in a 5N thruster over 12 firings (raising the satelite about 1/7 of the way and changing the inclination), then the 0.25N hall effect thrusters were used for the remaning 19400miles (firing 12hours a day for 8 months)..
They used the hall effect thrusters instead of the hydrazine/nitrogen tetraoxide engine. The hall effect thrusters run on xenon and electricity, so NO they did not use the same fuel source. The hall effect thrusters have a specific impulse of ~8000s instead of the ~300s for hydrazine, so they are insanely fuel efficient, but extremely low thrust. (1/4N vs ~450N for the main engine)..
While it appears to be snarky it's actually spot on. No major phone manufacturer will touch the GPLv3 with a 10 foot pole. They simply won't be willing to take the liability of getting caught between a patent lawsuit from some IP troll (or major corporate IP holder like Oracle or Apple) and the onerous GPLv3 that they can't defend themselves from.
Vagueries around derived work and linkage and the patent clause make it completely untenable for any company that has a patent portfolio. (Having a patent portfolio is simply necessary if you want to defend your self from the likes of Oracle/Apple.)
While the FSF can go off and have their hippie free software love in around GPLv3, it's simply not big business friendly. While they don't like it big business is what has driven it to where it is today.
If Android was GPLv3, Android wouldn't exist as the market force it is today....(hence they wouldn't be selling android phones.)
Not necessarily, most Open Source Software (OSS) licenses (eg. GPLv2, EPL, etc.) only kick in on redistribution since you need the license to not be in violation of someone's copyright. You can USE all the OSS you want without complying with the license if you don't redistribute it. On top of that some OSS Licenses don't require that you disclose that there is OSS in your redistributable nor do they require you to provide source. (eg. 3-clause BSD).
In this case however, he's clearly distributing the binaries. Fruit appears to be LGPLv2.1 and Crafty has some goofball custom pseudo-oss license that requires attribution. So if he did copy the code and redistribute he's not complying with the licenses and in violation of copyright law.
I don't find it all that unusual that 2 different good chess programs might make similar decisions, and they don't have the source to compare so unless someone is going to sue and do discovery the claim of plagiarism is (IMO) premature.
The courts exist to settle just these sorts of conflicts, and banning him on supposition is questionable.. IANAL....
This was Tesla's plan for a while now, and the article says nothing about their business model failing. The cannot use the government funds they were given to develop a sports car, it must be used for the Model S. Also they based the Roadster on the Elise Chassis, and Lotus has quit making them. This isn't reddit or I'd down vote for the horrific summary. There is lots of info in their IPO filing, and elsewhere..
Also the basis of the business model for the Roadster was to smash the image of the electric car being a hippie-green eco-shitbox, which most electric car's to date have been. That was a resounding success.
Essentially yes. you have to plug all the land lines into the back of the thing. In my case the wiring in the house is disconnected from Qwest so I just drive the wall jack next to the Xlink backwards and do the usual thing with the rest of the phones. Ie. Use the existing house wiring to distribute the signal.
I have an Xlink BTTN and I love it. I am no longer running around the house wondering where I left my cell phone, because it's in its charging cradle right next to the Xlink. The only major draw back to this device is that text messages are not forwarded to the landline so my friends texting me while I'm at home tend to get ignored until I leave the house. I'm not sure how you would actually forward them however, since I know the landline phones in my house couldn't deal with it..
I can't tell if your joking or if you're a douche.
He was following orders. He had a legal agreement with the company not to share his passwords with ANYONE which presumably included his boss. What his boss was asking contradicted that agreement. Since his boss admitted that he didn't have the authority to override that agreement, what he did was 100% correct, even if it did cause his loser boss heart burn.
Had he been fired for that he would have had excellent cause for a big wrongful termination suit. You can't ask an employee to do something (don't share their passwords), then fire them for doing it (not sharing their passwords) without consequences.
This is not a design flaw for XP, it's a limitation if the 32 bit architecture.
BZZZTTT... Wrong..
It is a design flaw, as it's NOT a limitation of current 32-bit architectures. It's the result of MSFT not taking advantage of PAE. The enable it, but (for what I can only assume is marketing reasons) they still limit you to 4GB.
Abolish Tenure and the Teacher's union. At the same time make teaching a financially viable option for those with the skill to do it..
Those who can do. Those who can't teach. Those who can't teach govern.
Also quit coddling the kids, they need to be responsible for their own education at some level. Get their parents involved, as they also need to be responsible for their kids education.
We have built a system where there are virtually no risks and no rewards for doing poorly/well for anybody (teachers/parents/students), and until that changes there will be motivation for any sizable improvement in the US schools.
These devices can already do block relocates.. The MTBF on these drives is on the order of 2 million hours. WAY better than winchester drives and so far out there that I kinda wish people would stop bringing this up.
Fusion is easy to verify: Deuterium-Deuterium fusion spits out a proton at a well know energy level (3ish MeV) and a tritium atom. Deuterium-Tritium fusion spits out a neutron at a well know enegery level (14ish MeV), and a helium. With the appropriate gear either the proton or the neutron are easy to spot/measure.

Where did you get this info? Typically hall effect thrusters don't run on hydrazine..
According to this:

They used the hall effect thrusters instead of the hydrazine/nitrogen tetraoxide engine. The hall effect thrusters run on xenon and electricity, so NO they did not use the same fuel source.

500 lbs. isn't a problem.. I'm not sure what you'd do with a third of a million horsepower tho... still full of shit...
A book I read somewhere referred to that level of acceleration as "Raspberry Jam Delta V"...
