Gee, Bush doesn't have any contributions. Surprise, Surprise!
If you had read the FAQ on amazon you would see:
Why can't I contribute to the Bush or Lieberman campaigns yet?
It's up to each campaign to decide if and when they want to participate. We have invited each of these campaigns to participate and we're hopeful that they'll come on board in the near future. Meanwhile, we have posted information about each candidate and his campaign, and we've provided a link to the candidates' campaign Web sites where you can make a contribution.
Panther requires a minimum of 128MB of memory and is designed to run on the following Apple products with built-in USB support: iMac,(R) iBook(R), Power Macintosh(R) G3, Power Mac G4, Power Mac G4 Cube.
Car manufacturers must make their cars safe because there are already laws in place that apply to everyone. You can't all of a sudden decide to pick on one companies' product. They are not breaking any existing regulations, and so they shouldn't be held liable. Moreover, they could certainly claim that they did not intend for their product to be insecure, so they had no malicious intent. Lastly, they can always play the end-user license card.
Well, it doesn't seem like we are getting what they claim. Head over to the Apple Store, under 'Choose Your Powermac G5' it still lists the old G4 specs!!
I guess they were a bit freaked out by the previous info leak.
First off, do we really need a practical use? Why do we study literature or art? Do we need practical uses for those things too?
Nevertheless, prime numbers are important for cryptography. This has to do with factoring a number into prime powers. Any positive integer can be written uniquely as a product of prime powers. If I give you two primes such as 6421 and 7873, it's easy to just multiply them and get 50552543. However, given 50552543 it's not at all obvious that the only way to write this as a product of prime powers is 6421*7873. Cryptography is based around such functions that are easier one way than the other. A greater knowledge about primes and their distribution means a greater knowledge of making and breaking certain cryptosystems.
It has nothing to do with the fact that it's a corporation. Say I have a birthday party, and I don't invite you because you aren't my friend, are your rights violated? I don't think so. It's a private function, and they therefore can choose who to let in, and who not to.
A couple solid pieces of evidence is infinitely more reliable and useful than thousands of unreliable anecdotes. Having "so freaking much" of evidence if the evidence is crap. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. On the other hand, _every time_ any one of these claims is tested in a controlled, scientific matter, they _never_ work. I'd say that's enough to reject these claims outright.
Wow. I suppose you're the first person to actually _solve_ the drake equation. So according to your 'conservative' calculations All other terms other than the three you notes have 100% probability.
Think about it. The universe is aprroximately 19 billion years old. Let's give 9 billion years for the universe to cool and stars to form to allow any sort of civilization to begin. Now civilization on earth has been here approximately 100 000 years, and we've only had radio technology to detect space signals within the last 100 years. That's 0.000000001% of the age of the universe we've had this ability to check. What's the chance of aliens sending out signals at this same time? We are not going to get any signals anytime soon.
Seti@home is great because it shows us the _potential_ of distributive computing. The people are in hands of the most powerful computer in the world, not governments. We may not find aliens with this, but honestly who really thought we would?
If the computers ever get angry at us, we can always just block out the sun by scorching the sky, thus rendering the computers powerless while the humans sit pretty.
With all the 'all your base' hiatus, this is just what the Japanese need! Now they'll be able to understand what we went so crazy over! Imagine a whole movie with poor translation!

Thank god I didn't get a G5.

It's a solution to the problem if you consider the cooling unit part of the chip itself.
This is a strong step towards making bicycling more sustainable
I don't think this is more sustainable if we can only develop such a bike now, even though the Chinese have been using Bamboo for thousands of years.
Andr that makes it ok?

Remind me again - what's the difference between a figurehead and a president?

is nothing. So a year of research to cure diseases is worth a quarter of a stealth bomber? Maybe we should reconsider the allocation of funds.

"The electron beams stream out to a phosphor-covered, thin, slightly convex glass screen."
The screen is not flat like an LCD, but perhaps just as thin. A flat screen would look even better, although this is good news as it is.
