Can someone astrophysically informed explain how the charged wino can be a dark matter candidate? Photons would interact with it through its charge, now? Or are they talking about the zino (same link)?
Back when I was in particle physics, we would pronounce "wino" to rhyme with neutrino, but we would still snicker about it.
According to the PDF, this graph is for all email addresses, not for 'real' addresses, which they define, more or less, as those addresses which receive at least one non-spam email every other day. Since they are looking only at Demon's logs, not the contents of actual mailboxes, they have to use this heuristic to filter out the bogus combinations that the spammers are trying.
If they impose the condition that only 'real' addresses are considered, the graph changes to one with a higher percentage spam for A addresses than for Z addresses, as asserted in the summary.
So in other words, totally superfluous, and largely the laughing stock of its domain?
On the contrary, Segway still seems to be holding onto its tiny, tiny niche for now. My point was more that for every Segway out there there is probably a million people who walk. If Amazon could sell one Kindle for every million books sold everywhere, they might be content with that.
It truly seems to be dead there right about the time they were supposed to change hosts. I have wondered what happened over there, but couldn't find a mention of the status of the site anywhere.
The interested reader can look up the passages cited here in the Project Gutenberg triple-translation of the Koran. But unless I am very much mistaken, the "idolators" that the Prophet is railing about are not Jews and Christian, who are of course the ones who do have monotheistic faiths, but the polytheistic communities of Arabia which were his contemporaries. Note the numerous citations of "Moses" and "Jesus" in that work, in by no means critical terms.
What a study of the Koran does not reveal however is everything which has happened since that time, including the fatwas issued by religious authorities, such as the this one prohibiting making images of people and animals. I think one has to understand this side of the religion as well as the Koranic side in order to form a complete opinion.
There are books and then there are books. I don't think that summer beach books are ever going to be replaced by e-books - as others have pointed out, what would be the point?
But reference books which are fairly difficult to search in dead tree form become much more useful when in digital form, and their electronic incarnations are already very popular for this reason. How many families buy multivolume encyclopedias any more instead of CD/DVD versions of the same (or just net access to same)?
For phylogenetic taxonomy, it's matter of taste, mostly. MY taste is that there is no need to introduce changes.
Shouldn't someone be asking the chimps? Perhaps their preference is that the taxonomy ought to change: that humans should be part of their genus. Pan sapiens, anyone?
"We saw conventional aircraft-style aerodynamics, two different kinds of leading-edge vortices, rotational mechanisms, wake-capture mechanisms and the so-called clap and fling."
So is anyone else here in the States concerned that there might be a growing gap in clap and fling technology?
To the next Harry Potter book (out Real Soon Now). Just think of the hordes of moppets suddenly eager to throw over their AOL browsers for Open Source.
I did a google search and came up with this and this. It is unfortunate that the image link in the second one appears to be broken, however, because I'd really like to see what this thing looks like. Quoting from this latter:
Inspired by a diorite stela inscribed with the laws of the great eighteenth-century B.C. Babylonian king Hammurabi, now in the Louvre, thousands of small warning tablets will be randomly buried throughout a wide area, each bearing warnings in one of seven languages (the six official United Nations languages plus one Native American language). Like Hammurabi's stela, the messages are expected to remain legible for at least 4,000 years. A roofless, 15-foot-high granite "information center" will be built at the site center, with symbols and detailed written warnings engraved on the walls and floor.
To me, putting nasty sharp scary-looking things all over a a desolate part of the wilderness seems likely to say to future treasure-seekers "Yo, don't dig here because these here fantastic riches belong to ME!"
Now I'm beginning to wonder what might be buried beneath Stonehenge...

Sounds like a fraternity thing.
The obvious name is, at the time I write this, still available.
I think the Kindle will be to traditional books as this device is to walking.
I hope that it could be one of the supported URL-based identity protocols under Yadis too.

I am still troubled by the memic collision caused by the Dove Bar.

A most unlikely compound, to be sure.
I thought it was to brew up some mead to take your mind off of the suffering.

It took a long time for that statement to become outdated, didn't it?

That way we could promote the combination as the Gibson "/usr/bin/less paul". Unless these guys have the name trademarked.
Nah.

I wouldn't advise him to tell women he has a hard drive in his drawers if your Mom is anywhere around.
