Yang, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with Xinhua, 'All the American, Russian and Chinese mathematicians have made indispensable contribution to the complete proof.'"
a new form of quantum entanglement - multipartite entanglement
Because I'm pedantic, I'd like to log a clarification to this. It's not a new form of quantum entanglement. It's presumably been around since the beginning of time. What it is is a newly discovered form of quantum entanglement. This is not a case where human thoughts created something. You are not a figment of my imagination.
nothing at all, except the website belived it to be true when the published it, and so did the professor. but once it got press some inconsistancies started popping up. he questioned him and he admitted to lying, most likely to get an extension on his paper.
Just for the record, if you believed so readily in the "fact" that Homeland Security was visiting this guy for requesting the Little Red Book, then what makes you think you're not doing it again with the "fact" that it's a hoax? Is there any more evidence or proof that it's a hoax than that it was true in the first place? If an article on the Internet can deceive you in the first place, what makes you think it's set you straight now?
Just food for thought. I believe there is a reality, and that there's a truth in this situation. But I'm not sure I have the evidence for what it is. "It's a hoax!" just means that we have to start thinking rationally and not be so ready to accept everything we read. Let's start right here.
Everytime I've seen bio available, it's been below standard diesel prices.
I just fueled up three hours ago. Regular diesel was $2.79 a gallon; biodiesel was $3.06 a gallon. But anyway, even if biodiesel was half the price of regular diesel, wouldn't you want it cheaper still?
I'd rather my buying information remains separated. It gives me the opportunity to tailor it to the seller. Not only that, but I may not even be interested in the same things at different sites. If Amazon showed me ads for women's lingerie I'd be turned off and maybe go away. Yet I could have been buying women's lingerie at angelbodywear.com just yesterday.
I hope this question doesn't actually make it into the presented questions, but this is what I really want to know:
Will you please please please do whatever you can to get whoever owns the rights to release Alpha Centauri source code? You can even keep the artwork if you need to! I absolutely love that game, and it's one of the two programs I have so missed since I left Windows. Just release the source code and I'll do the rest. I would love you so much, Mr. Meier!
No. Why do you think this article is about Wonderful New Math being released in a book? This isn't the 1600s; we have systems in place to accept and critically review claims such as this. There are math journals and societies and the like. I don't think we can outright dismiss anything that hasn't travelled the "proper" channels, but this guy is an academic by profession. He actively chose to avoid his peers and that says something.
Will we see rapid translation of these pre-clinical observations to prediction and/or stratification of type 1 diabetes and treatment of individuals with the disease?
Yes.
I love these questions! They do the same thing on NPR. "Mr. So-and-So, do you think that this Gaza strip pullout will mean that peace negotiations can continue, thereby creating a harmonious world balance where children hold hands and laugh gaily, frolicing through streets lined with happy merchants selling kumquats at a mere 15 cents for a dozen? Yes or no?"

A "brain drain" is caused by the depleted organization. In all of these definitions the emphasis is on the loss of brains. Where they go and what they go on to do isn't specified. An oppresive communist regime could see its top intellectuals flee the country, and have those intellectuals go somewhere free and just live normal non-intellectual lives and it would be "brain drain". What's described in this story isn't so much about companies losing out on talent, "brain drain", rather it's about the companies gaining it, i.e. Google and Yahoo. Besides, brains aren't in limited supply. It's not like one's gain is another's loss. If anything this means that brains become more economically in demand.
The nerd-slang word 'boxen' in English has nothing to do with German.
Uh, yeah. Whatever, dude. Anyway, I looked up "boxen" in my OED. It says, "1. Of or pertaining to the box-tree or box-trees." and "2. Made of or resembling box-wood.". Perhaps bemoaning the loss of an already existing meaning for the word would be a better line of attack for you? At least you'd be speaking the truth, unlike your above statement.
Cisco has one goal, and it isn't to secure your network. They are there to sell you stuff.
Right. And the security of your network has nothing to do with the stuff they sell...
If they *don't* make securing your network their goal, then they aren't going to make much money in the long run are they? Either you have a point and you've failed to make it, or you're outsourcing your arguments to the debate equivalent of a second hand store, relying on worn out, half-assed mantras devoid of intellectual content.

"contribution"? Not "contributions"? sic?

I hear that all the time.
Yes, that's the point of serving the Network Time Protocol...

Iraq should last another couple of years, I'd guess.
Cox Cable?
Yeah, as in, "Wait wait! Don't burn this jungle!"
"Why not?"
"Because... because... because of the rare wild spotted toad-lemur-mongoose! Quick! Look! Right there!"
"I don't see nuthin'. Why ain't the locals seen it?"
"Because they're too close to the land? They're looking too hard! That's it!"
Outright?
And now none of it will go to the affected parties.

No, you shouldn't have. Because if you had, we wouldn't be seeing it used by a mainstream company today.
Yes.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

That's a pretty bold statement. Nobody here is a programmer? I'd say at least a simple majority are. -todd
Then go somewhere else to discuss those interests and skills.
