Well, yes, but then why don't you expose 50 seconds in the first place? If you simply add up the images you'll suffer the same distortions that prevented good images in the first place. Unless you do some math tricks before summing them up you gain nothing at all. But to do that the single frames must have a clearly visible signal to work with, hence you either need a very sensitive camera or limit yourself to the brighter objects up there.
Maybe because with diabetes the insulin level is the very problem. People with type 1 diabetes can't produce enough insulin and the level is therefore controlled by regular injections, not the body itself. Type 2 is an insulin resistance, so even if the levels rise due to drinking diet soda it might not have any effect. But this is just my guess...
The fact is mentioned in the article itself, yes. But the slashdot summary fails to do so and even implies that this investigation was due to the amok run in Erfurt.
Particle accelerators are used for cancer-therapy and are especially interesting for tumors that are surrounded by lots of healthy tissue, for example a brain tumor. As ions penetrate the tissue they loose only little energy on their way through but as they are stopped they deposit a lot of energy at that point (Bragg peak). This has the advantage that most of the energy is brought to where you actually want to have it, i.e. inside the tumor. The surrounding tissue is damaged far less than using other kinds of radiation (x-rays, etc.).
There has been very promising success with this kind of treatment using carbon ions at the "Gesellschaft fuer Schwerionenforschung", an accelerator facility in Germany. You can find more information here: http://www.gsi.de/portrait/Broschueren/Therapie/in dex_e.html
So, in the situation you describe, the hardware sold by B would be essentially useless (you can't run the GNU utilities because they're GPL3, and you can't run any other utilities because they're not signed). But, if you went ahead and installed the signed GNU utility binaries, knowing that this was not permitted, then you the end user would of course be in violation of the GPL3, not A or B.
I don't think the end user will be in violation here, since the GPL is about distribution of software (which an end user will unlikely do). If you don't release the derivative work (whatever it might be in this special case) the GPL cannot apply as this is out of its scope.
If there existed mines that can move around freely and towards distant targets you would have a point here. I am not aware that such mines exist. They usually sit in the dirt and wait for someone to trip on them. If you are the one who deployed them you know where they are and are not likely to be the one that activates them.
Not that I welcome the Navy using mammals but you cannot really compare them to mines.
One possible way to detect those additional dimensions are artifical black holes created in particle accelerators. These black holes cannot be created unless the gravitation becomes stronger on small scales than predicted by the classical 4-dim theory, due to the additional dimensions. Only if this increase is present the required mass density for the formation of artifical black holes can be reached (by LHC for example). So if they can ideed produce these little black holes that's a pretty good indication of extra dimensions.
This must not neccessarily an effect of the emotional overload. There was a demonstration a few weeks ago on TV with regard to the accuracy of what witnesses report. A group of people was presented an arranged car accident (of course without their knowledge), nothing serious though. Afterwards they were asked about it, what cars were involved, which colors they had, people involved etc. About 66% of their given accounts were false, though they were actually sure about what they remembered. Afterwards they repeated the experiment with a group of police officers, which led interestingly to the same result. Nearly 2/3 of them gave false accounts.
The arranged car accident lasted way longer than a few seconds, so the emotion induced lack of attention is probably not the only cause.
Nuclear energy suffers another problem besides the waste storage. There's only a limited amount of uranium fuel left and it will last for about 50 to 100 years. So fission energy can only be short term solution, though I agree that it's a better one than fossil energy.
You might want to have a look at Motion. It is an application written for GNU/Linux that can capture video from several sources, has builtin motion detection (hence its name), can execute commands when motion is detected and a has lot more features.
So right. When I read the story I already made the same thoughts you seemed to have had and how I would gonna post all those things like nudity is natural, sex is natural and healthy, etc.
But why do I have to say all these so very obvious things? They should be clear if you just think about it for a minute. We are born naked, have always been and will always be. Everybody knows "boys have a penis and girls have a vagina". Everybody will have sex and only because of sex we exist at all. So why the fuck should I feel bad about sex or nudity?!
Sorry, but I just don't get it... and with regard to things like this I'm very glad I live in Europe.
If you go down to the neurons they work kinda digital, not analog. The input to a neuron from nerves is delivered in a frequency encoded signal, not amplitude. Higher input means more 'pings' per second. I think the fact that neurons are alive is not of great importance. It more or less just a tiny machine that maintains itself.
Also the basic function of a neuron is pretty simple and has already been simulated (neural networks). It receives signals from many connections (dentrites) and acuumulates them for a certain time. When this value then surpases a limit the neuron will fire itself. There are two kinds of such connections, those which increases the value and those which decrease it.
So you cannot have 'lower' harmonics of a 20k signal.
I guess he was referring to sub-harmonics, i.e. the 1/2, 1/3, etc. frequency. Since these fall (naturally) below 20k and thus are well reproduced by the digital media (at 44.1 kHz sampling rate) I fail to see his point.
Einstein took it further to postulate that laws of physics ARE the same in all reference frames
Nope, that was already postulated by Newton. The laws of Newtonian mechanics are the same in all frames of reference and they are transformed by the Galilei-transformations. I guess this was also the drive for Lorentz to look for transformations which do the same on Maxwell's equations.
What Einstein managed was to bring these two contradictory theories into a consistent one, the Special Relativity.
Free drivers are surely a good thing and I generally prefer them, too. But on the other hand after paying several hundred euros for a new graphics card and then not beeing able to do with it what it was bought for in the first place is ridiculous. If buy a mid-range to high-end card and actually want to use it (i.e. do more than displaying my desktop) there's sadly not much choice with regard to drivers.

What I described is the Copenhagen interpretation, though maybe I used different terms. What I meant with "motion of the electron" and "the initial state" was the electron's wavefunction, which evolves according to the Schroedinger equation (and thus fully deterministic). The square of the amplitude of the wave function at a certain position x gives the probability to find the electron exactly there if we measure its position. The measurement (however you define this) brings in the probability, but the wave function itself is deterministic.
Slight nitpick: the motion of the electron is fully deterministic, as are the laws of quantum mechanics. If you know the initial state of an electron you can exactly say how it will behave in the future. The randomness comes in when we measure things, i.e. if we disturbe the electron to get its position for example. The outcome of this measurement is not predictable, only the probability of a result can be given.

I heard of that effect, too. When eating sweet food the tongue registeres this and the pancreas reacts with increased insulin production. This effect has been confirmed in rats: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd
Well, there are church taxes for one.

USB flash drives are pretty resistant against water. I accidentally washed mine (forgot to empty my pockets) and it's still working fine.
