The original poster has it wrong, more dark matter decreases the expansion of the universe as one would expect, dark energy does the opposite changing the state function of the universe and thus allowing it to expand. IAA astro-physicist
Assuming that the person didn't walk around that sensor and that you are not going to be overcome with noise in your measurements due to animal traffic.
I agree with the you but I have a secondary question: if it only measures traffic without unique identities how does it help find someone missing? It isn't like you can assume that everyone goes from point A to point B along the same path. To be at all useful it has to record something unique to the hiker.
I agree with most of what you said but you seem to have missed a rather large point to all this: the FCC charges 100,000 for a liecense, so "everybody else" cannot afford to broadcast. I think we need regulation of the radio waves mainly for the purposes of science, I have had to deal with annoying people who transmit where they shouldn't be while I was trying to do science in the same bandwidth. But I don't see why this means we need to have 50 clearchannel stations and none or very few from average Joe's. Surf around the FM and AM bandwidth in your area and you will find that there are a lot of bands not being used, why not give those to nonprofs? schools?
You can always tweak gravity to give ANY answer you want, BUT whenever you do it tends to break other things or look really strange. Case in point, if we change gravity to account for the missing mass we "see"(we notice that things don't rotate as they should given the light we see) then you can break other systems, like black holes, or the acceleration of the universe. Which brings us to your statement about the accleration of the universe: Einstein's theories predict solutions with an accelerating expanding universe so your statement doesn't help your idea. Also if dark matter is not seen in some galaxies there could be other reasons for this, like they don't produce whatever the dark matter is, the universe tends to hold all possiblities, being infinite and all, so not seeing something that we see elsewhere doesn't mean we didn't see it.
Okay so sure this is kinda funny. . . then you think for another second and realize that there are people out there who believe this. Anyone have a link to the Senetor or Congressman who said he wanted to ban small electric cars because they were unsafe?
Sure the small car is unsafe for those in it, but if you look at the statistics SUVs are not safe either and are MORE likily to kill others in a crash, so who actually is safe? No one, well maybe the guy driving the BMW or Volvo.
FYI, this is the man that wrote the law that Apple is using to persecute PlayFair to the cheers of everyone at Slashdot. So stop making fun of him.
Why should this mean that he isn't still a "Bad" person? I mean if I go and feed people at a soup kitchen does that mean I can then go beat up kids for thier lunch money? The idea that just because he wrote a law that some people like doesn't mean he is beyond ridicule.
(3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending
Sorry you just proved that you were wrong on one point, not to say that you aren't correct in the remainder but as you can see the distribute clause says that it only covers distribution by "sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending" and since you NEVER own the music you buy by making copies and sharing them you are not giving ownership of the ip in anyway thus this method of distribution is not covered by this clause.
But alas IANAL.
God never told anyone not to think for themselves.
Determinists. You CANNOT think for yourself if your god already planned everything for you to do.
Also while I agree that people should move out of "Middle Age's thinking about God" there are some who are just moving into that sort of thinking. You appear to be englighted, so to speak, while many other people who are part of organized religions tend to believe much the opposite to your stance, ignoring that and nothing will change.
I think it is about scale. Think about it this way: all of physics that we know, gravity exempted, is proabablistic: we don't know what is going to happen at any given stage just what MIGHT happen. However this is only true on a quantum level, Newton's Laws still hold, mostly, and we don't worry about sponaneously appearing inside the sun because we COULD it is just extremely unlikly. Similarly if you make a big enough system out of chaotic states or in this case random assembly then you can find patterns, like Newton's laws, these can be used to do computing.
While I usually don't see a reason to stop regulation of an already regulated market( cause someone is already in the lead and removing societies only way to force them to behave doesn't help) but in cases where there is an emerging market I think that regulation, for things other than environmental impact and a few other things, should NOT be implemented. How is this going to help? As noted above all this does is provide software providers with a way of saying: "We followed all the RULES so we didn't do anything wrong." Now if we allowed companies and consumers alike to sue the software developer for delievering a product that was known to be insecure then the software companies would have a reason to make secure software. The regulation does not provide a reason to make secure software it defines what that is which can change or be wrong.
Acutally I think they do, probable cause. If you are arrested for drug charges they can search you and test you based on probable cause alone. I agree the article was unclear as to what actually happend and what the specific mental illness is but if they send out an email with my contact information to law offices before notifying someone's doctors who "requires daily medication" then the police are: invading my privacy, possibly proffiting from my personal data(why else inform lawyers), and ignoring their responsiblity to look after their prisioners.
Did you RTFA? Guess not. He needs daily medication for his MENTAL ILLNESS. While I don't want my family informed if I am arrested by defacto, if you have a mental illness that requires daily medication and have medical information on you at the time of your arrest someone should be notified so you can continue to be properly medicated. It is also possible for someone with a mental illness to be over 21 and NOT their own guardian due to said mental illness. While I don't know what went on hear exactly, in this situation it would seem like the police had a responsiblity to keep him properly medicated and inform his doctors.
I think that the point that is trying to be made here is that the quote in the blurb is patentedly untrue: the supermarket DOES use barcode scanners to track what you buy, admittedly you have a choice, kinda if paying twice as much is a choice.
A family friend has a daughter which such a disorder and has had something similar to this implanted in her for over a year. It has reduced the frequency and intensity of the seizures since she has had it. It does cause some discomfort at a regular interval to prevent seizures but it is a small price to pay, viewed by the parents and the child, to have less seizure. This is a great technology that needs more development.
How can you think Esperanto is a neutral language?! It is compose solely of romanctic languages! I just watched Incubus(the only movie made in Esperanto and it has William Shattner) and you can pretty much undestand it if you know english and some french/italian/spanish(choose one) now for someone who doesn't speak a romantic language learning this is not going to be easy. Also forcing a culture to learn your language is not the way to make friends.
All forms of fusion need high temperatures, or more precisely, high enough kinetic energy in the particles undergoing fusion to make electromagnetic and weak interactions small compared to the strong interactions. Cold fusion has always been a misnormer. What we mean by cold is that we can use the energy that is created without having to deal with temperatures that are too hot to contact with normal matter, i.e. in a confined plasma the point that fusion is occuring at has a very high temperature but is a very small point and the energy leaving that point is not too large to deal with.
Currently we do not have any Gravity wave detectors that could observe this, as stated in another reply LIGO could not observe this, nor pretty much anything short of something really strong happening within a VERY close range. We have not observed any gravity waves directly, however we have seen that rotation periods of certian large bodies indicate that energy is escaping the system beyond that predicted by hawking radiation, which is consistent with gravity waves carring said energy away.
Hope this helps.
Incorrect, Einstein's theory has allows for "gravity waves," i.e. you can find a periodic propagating solution for the stress-energy tensor that "looks" like a wave traveling through, or in this case, by, distorting space-time.
Similar to classical E+M, which allows E+M waves, GR doesn't state that these are propagators of the force just solutions that exist.
Hope this clarifies.
I hope that the police in upstate New York correlate the kids whose information was posted and missing children reports.
Also for everyone who says: "This could happen with an American programmer just as easily." Yes that is true but you could punnish that programmer but you will have a hard time punishing programmers in other countries.
String theory doesn't have "other universes." There is only one, always. You can say that disconnected manifolds are different universes but since they would all obey the same laws it isn't really true that they are different from the one we are living on. Secondly "higher dimensions" would never allow bleeding between universes even using the broad definition above. If they are connected they HAVE to be the same universe, that is what is meant by universe.

Just my 2 cents.
Did you read the link in the blurb? Oh yeah this is /. The link says that Leo wanted to leave, not that he was getting dumped.
However his blog doesn't say anything about this as far as I saw in my short viewing so I don't even know if the link in the blurb has it right.
I think that the point that is trying to be made here is that the quote in the blurb is patentedly untrue: the supermarket DOES use barcode scanners to track what you buy, admittedly you have a choice, kinda if paying twice as much is a choice.
I think it might have been a very bad attempt at sarcasm.
