I'm not completely sure what you're trying to say, when you say that quarks come in threes, but Mesons are built from pairs of quarks (say, positively charged Pion = up + anti-down).
Mathematically speaking, the requirement is that the observable particles be SU(3)-singlets, i.e. states which are invariant under SU(3) transformations in color space.
It's also amazing how long they took to award Hänsch, and then only 1/4th of the prize - Hänsch's discovered the monochromatic, tunable dye laser (essential to almost all laser spectroscopy application, at least until the semiconductor laser became usable, and still unparalleled in the high power range), saturation and polarization spectroscopy (techniques which allow for Doppler-free spectroscopy; again, essential techniques used in almost any laboratory where lasers are pointed at atoms), laser cooling of atoms (unfortunately he applied this technique only in one direction, a Nobel prize was awarded to the first people who used essentially the same technique for trapping atoms), and finally frequency combs (a fairly new development which allows for very precise frequency measurements in the visible and UV range). Furthermore Hänsch's group was one of the first to observe Bose-Einstein condensation, is leading in precision measurements of the spectrum of the Hydrogen atom (if I'm still up-to-date, their error margins are smaller than those of the theoretical calculations, which is a great achievement), and a number of other interesting things. In 2001, at the occasion of Hänsch's 60th birthday a colloquium was held here in Munich with talks by IIRC 6 nobel laureates, who all seemed to be embarassed that out of them only Hänsch hadn't yet been awarded the prize.
OTOH I did attend a lecture he gave a few years back and I must say that he is one of the worst lecturers I ever had, he handed the lecture off to his assistant half-way through the semester. But maybe he's a better professor in his advanced courses, his group seemed to be fairly happy with him everytime I talked to somebody.

No, but we have a far-wider reaching first paragraph in our constitution: "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." -- A faithful translation is out of reach for me, it's something like "Human dignity can't be taken away."

A Review of GCC 4.0
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
If your compiler compiles correctly, a program (leaving floating point inaccuracies aside) should produce the same result no matter what compiler it is compiled with. I.e. a gcc 4.0 should produce the same results no matter if it's itself compiled with 3.4.3 or 4.0.
This is wrong. Fortran has pointers. Also, arguments are usually passed by reference, so this point is not valid. But: by the language standard, you may not write something like
CALL some_subroutine (a, a) if the subroutine modifies one of its arguments. So in a sense procedure arguments in fortran are equivalent to restricted pointers in C.
Tridge's tool is about extracting the complete history out of a bitkeeper server, bitkeeper's open client is about providing an equivalent to cvs up. Fairly obvious if you RTFA and TFPYLT (the f*cking page you're linking to).
Do you disagree that the person causing the network traffic that was being listened to, would be viiolating the license (you may not use Bitkeeper to reverse engineer Bitkeeper) if he allowed this? And would you OTOH not condone Tridgell if he listened to somebody else's network traffic without them knowing?
There's a difference between reverse-engineering SMB and reverse-engineering Bitkeeper: noone has ever agreed to not reverse-engineer SMB just by running it. This is different from Bitkeeper. Now how does this make a difference here, where Tridgell didn't use the Bitkeeper software? He must have been listening to someone's network traffic, and either he was eavesdropping, or that other person allowed it, and this could be construed as a violation of the Bitkeeper license.
Also, McVoy has claimed that Bitkeeper saw unusual usage patterns or something like that, so maybe Tridgell even tried his software on Bitmover's servers, which to some degree would explain their anger.
Personally, I still believe that what happened is better for the Free Software movement overall. Hopefully, management people get told this story with the right spin, i.e. proprietary software means you have no rights.
This is incorrect. 1998 didn't have a French winner: Maxim Kontsevich is a Russian, working in France. Also, 2002 and 1994 seem to be the only years with French winners, but I may not have looked closely enough.
Finally, this doesn't contradict my point: the French are very strongly concerned about use of the French language in research, not only officially, but also practically (I worked at the CNRS [national center for scientific research] for a time, so I know this from my own experience), and their research is far from the top. Not that Nobel prizes are necessarily a good measure of that, but feel free to show me evidence to the contrary.
There are features in the English language which make it well-suited for the GUI interfaces of computers, but which at the same time make for traps which make it hard to translate. To name a few:
most nouns can also be used as verbs (think "file", the activity of "filing" [e.g. saving] as well as operations on "files" [e.g. file-relatedpreferences] fall under this word fairly naturally
most words are short "Edit" is "Datei" in German, "Options" is "Einstellungen", etc., meaning a less-cluttered interface
bad translations won't happen in the original language. If someone gives a menu a misleading or confusing name, a native speaker will hopefully clean it up, but by then the bad name might have already been translated.
translations can hardly be of better quality than the original
finally, the only versions of Windows that are (or have been, I haven't checked lately) available across the globe are the English language versions, and MS still hasn't figured out runtime-switching of languages. Research labs therefore often buy English-language versions of the software to make the transition easier for people travelling between research institutions in different countries
Unfortunately, g95'S developer chose to rather violate the GPL than to either work together with the gcc people or at least let them use his code. Look here for more information on the split.
So your weighing different deaths against each other? Will you be claiming that any attack which kills less than 200,000 people is justified because that tsunami wave killed at least as many people?
i guess i'm missing some subtle nuance of the word? The word is defined on the page: Meaning: the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era
For the geeky among us: Feynman states this rule in "Surely you're joking", so maybe there's something to it. Or maybe there was, back when he used it in the 50ies and 60ies.
Until the rest of the world stops buying american products they will suffer under our "leadership". Don't the US have a hugedforeign trade deficit? I.e. they actually import much more than they export? So in a sense you could say that the rest of the world already did.
The mistake mentioned in the article (reporting Einstein phoning his sister several years after she was dead) doesn't sound like the sort of mistake a real diarist would ever make.Well, the German word "Schwester" can mean any of "nurse", "nun" and "sister", so it's not totally unlikely that either Johanna Fantova misunderstood Einstein or the person finding that mistake misunderstood Mrs Fantova, as Einstein, being ill, certainly had to deal with nurses.

Because you Brits insist on speaking English. When 1.0.7 is converted to English from American, you'll get your new localized version!
That would be localised then.

Can someone translate this please?
Then think of it as "people under 21 are only tried as adults if they're ahead of others", exactly what you want.

Of course this was discussed on the gcc list, the thread starts here.
Links to an implementation of this can be found in this mail, the legality of this implementation is discussed in the followup.
The inevitable prior-art discussion begins here.

When exactly did the last Nobel prize go to France? This study sounds bogus.

So, you think a plunge affects toilet paper? I can see why you think that statement is wrong.
