Sure, deep blue and other contendant for the 1000000 googlyflop use mainframe for computer power. but most of the world do not use mainframe for that, but for transaction based system which handle a LOT of transaction per second with real time big database (for example airline RES system, bank system...) and security (transaction termin properly and start properly, and save data properly on disk). Processing power is your LEAST problem. Plus those mainframe system are so old they have been debugged by 2-3 generations of programmer 10 times over. Due to the size of the code and the constant debugging I doubt you can get this kind of quality on PC with a new software and a lot of investement...
Does anyone know how their computerised baggage handling rate ? I never heard that kind of horror story and as far as I know they have a fully computerised system, Doesn't they ?
... independant and foreign film. Usually when I went there (when I was 20 years younger)with my girlfriend there was nobody in the projection sale so it usually ended in fondle time...
As far as I can remmember the first discovery were done by the russian at the very end of january the other ally a bit of one month later. So retaliation is a bit "doubtful". At that point in time the bombardement of Dresden was only a military goal. If it was really retaliation as you purport this would make it even LESS justifiable and a true warcrime.
They even make a kick advertising it (as opposed to coal power generation). France comes to mind. So at 75%+ electricity generation is CERTAINLY less polluting if you count only ground+air type pollution. Even comparing radioactive pollution only it might win anyway (it is concentrated pollution in the case of a nuclear plant and not released widespread over earth, although it says there for a great deal longer time whereas other method like coal release a bit of radioactive element in atmosphere. A little bit albeit by the sheer tonnage of burned coal the little big get big...). In such country the vehicule shown is LESS polluting than your average car.
But then again this always comes down to the US not wanting to go away from their oil policy, isn't it ? By the way did you know than exxon announced the peak of oil for non-opec oil (60% world crude production)in 5 years ? This time this is not an ecological kook which announced it, but an oil company. Funny that nobody is reporting it that much in the press...
It depends on what you export. if this is software and services, then frankly the world could do without and not remark anything. if this is industrial goods then you might skew the economy, but the world would work that around after some crisis time. Raw material and food OTOH would be irreplacable and would completly break the economy of the importing countries. I tried to search for "USA export breakdown" "north america export" but I can't find how the breakdown of the goods is... Maybe you'll have more luck than me finding that out.
For example France : "Le denier du cult" relate to the money give as alm during church (if I recall correctly). Furthermore in many part of the world, the main difference between a cult and a church by legal definition is the NUMBER of follower.
As for "mandate that people think for themselves, to always think clearly and rationally and not act on mere impulse or emotion" well I would like to know where you pull that out. I would think of a certain party of the body. Usually for christianism the precept are given hammer-like without questionning, and a single authoritative figure (ex: the pope) can questionesly decide something which then will more or less be valid to any fervent catholic (example : putting the preservative at the "index"). Faith is NOT to be questionned. This is heresy. Remmember the inquisition ? Posing the wrong question could lead you to be burned alive. Even today it can lead you to be stoned in certain part of the world, and it certainly can lead you to be shuned or worst in the western part of the world. Typically if you want to avoid question you just say "God made me do it" or "God told me".
Please do not make any religion as an entertaining educating experience where people can ask a lot of wonderful question. This is an untruth historically, and even now on so many level that it is difficult to know where to begin with... Religion in general force a certain type of locked "answer/precept" and does not allow any questionning aside what lead to those answer. You are comfunding with science or moral or philosophy.

Thanks for somebody from/. which posted this article some days ago : Alan Moore despise V for Vendetta. Most interrestingly is the yellow insert (scroll down).
Quote "MOORE SLAMS V FOR VENDETTA MOVIE, PULLS LoEG FROM DC COMICS
[The League]Alan Moore, co-creator of the "V For Vendetta" comic, has publicly disassociated himself from the upcoming Warner Brothers movie project based on the comic book and written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers. And as a result, he has cut his remaining ties with DC Comics, including future volumes of the "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen."
Moore has promised future "League" comics will be published by a US/UK collaboration between Top Shelf and Knockabout. "
Quote : "Alan On The "V For Vendetta" Movie
Alan gave some details about bits of the V For Vendetta shooting script he'd seen. "It was imbecilic; it had plot holes you couldn't have got away with in Whizzer And Chips in the nineteen sixties. Plot holes no one had noticed." "
Apparently the horse is already out of the barn...
Stop reading between the line. I did not say that people beliving in gods are stupid. I did not even promote atheism. What I promoted is separating science from religion. When you are speaking science, then leave religion in the locker room. I might even say when you are doing religion do not misuse and bring science in churches.
Second frankly you are aware that for some people english is not even the first language, not even the second language, or not even the third language learnt ? I was self taught in english. So if on an international forum, grammar nazi like you dislike that much badly written englisch, I recommend you to go on another forum. Maybe like , Ye Olde Oxford Forum. Or just ignore the post, if you prefer to attack the form, ad hominem, instead of the content.
Thank you very much to illustrate my point. Science never said it explain everything. This is a misunderstanding of the scientific method. Only religion attempt to explain everything, including (but not only) why we are here. Sadly they require more or less blind faith (aka : accepting without proof/logic/anything related) and try to explain something which is not see in the day-to-day life. Whereas science only attempt to explain what is observed in nature. Explain is a big word. In science you propose falsifiable hypothese and model, which then CAN BE CHECKED to be an acceptable model or not.
In that respect Evolutionism *IS* science. CReationism or Intelligent design (Quote "explain away all of creation") want to explain the WHY and HOW without using science and thus is religion (or at best, philosophy).
Again, wihtout wanting to insult you, and without being sarcastic, I thank you for pointing right away by posting an example why I think the scientific method and tenet should be teached : to *at least* have people stop comfunding a philosophical/religious hypothese, with a scientific one.
Hyponchondriac is nothing. Alternativ medicine is more dangerous in my eye : people really ill getting alternative treatment and dying. And the web make for an exponential propagation of those despite that they are if not all, mostly junk.
Just have a look at all those totally supersticious claim and alternative medicine : homeopathy, colorotherapy, herbotherapy, crytsllotherapy, fengshui... Indeed we are in a demon haunted world.
I think education is the only answer, but how can you educate people when part of them learn that ID/creationism must be thaught in their class with the same footing than evolutionism, people misappropriate the definition of a theory in science, downright lie or misuse term they do not understand to support their own unscientific pet peeve, or even politic is used to support religious activity, even if there is a separation of church and state, downright disrespect, to not say hate, of science in all its form inclusive medicine.
For all wanting to learn a bit and start fighting against obscurantism I recommend this : James Randi Education Fundation (JREF I think it is called).
I think before solving hyponcondiacism we have to solve the problem of people believing in all sort of crap, and teach the tenet of the scientific method, or even if it is too much, at least teach back respect of science !!!
Frankly in comparison hyponchondriacism is nothing. It does not propagate as much damage...
I do not see anything about cooling. I mean if the transistor is 3d, this means the warmth is not only created by each part, but some part in the center generate warmth which has to travel toward the outside. Could not this be a big problem ?
So it seems the world at large agrees with you, still I wonder how both of those film could get more than 0.5/10...Oh, well, there is something for all taste.
First they have to get a VECTOR to bring those nice nuclear bomb somewhere. If this is a missile vector I can guaranteee that CHINA will start acting before those vector can reach France or UK. If this is not a missile vector, then frankly every city is a target no matter the distance and no matter the military spending (think bomb hidden in a truck). As for military spending, here is the military spending per capita GDP : military expenditure per capita
Excuse me but European country does not seem too badly placed on the list. You will note that NK is not here. And since this is per capita , multiply by the milliom of person in those country and you get another picture far from your "EU is weak and is hoping that the US will shield them" drivel. Moderator before moderating something as informative, please check the fact !!!
Look at the nubmer of civilian casualty in Irak/Afghanistan (*), oh, sorry,you call them "collateral damage"... Each of those had a familly. Each of those familly might be drowned enough in sadness and anger, and by the desire that this never happen again, that they decide to take in their own hand the "punishment" and even revenge. There you have sown the next terrorist generation
(*) and I am not even counting the number of country where the good old US of A support a dictatorial govt, or attempt to overthrow govt openly disliking them...
Just say to the "helper" that you want to protect the youth against hate/racism/sex/porn/nazi/pedophil/whatever-your-b oogyman is... Then people will also happily do as you want, even without draconian censorship law you will then get that censorship you wish ! Remmmember that child protection act where all library would have been mandated to introduct protecting software ?
Everybody is using terrorist as an excuse for their agenda, let me do the same !
Since we all know that most terrorist are extremist more or less coming from the fanatic extrem, and in majority today are people disliking alcohol usage and women "equality" with men (and particulary the sight of clad women, the horror, the horror), be them christian or islamic terrorist, we should force with a new law, every men in all country to go sit before their house door, drink a lot of alcohol, and every women should walk by nude. Every patriot will drink beer and oogle passerby , but terrorist and unpatriotic bastard will find themselves unable to support the sight and will surrender or stand out in the crowd(*).
(*) ok I wrote that down from memory. Source is a joke mail you probably now:). I might have changed one things or another (**)
(**) nonetheless I still think this is a good law who is ready to support it ?
OTOH for those , like me, and maybe the parent poster, who think there is absolutly NOTHING, then we are atheist. And for us, truly the Orson Scott Card quote does not apply at all.
This was not a physicist which ordered the bomb beeing thrown on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Actually the physicist were horrified at what they "built" and some bitterly regretted it. They came up with the idea how to create energy, but they can't be held responsible on how moron then abuse the idea.
On the contrary the church itself came up with the idea of inquisition, heresy, burning people at stakes and so on.
I hope you see the difference between the two, isn't it ?
Instead of using now the SSN for identification, you can use an ID number. And if the ID is lost, stolen, or abused by a third party you can make a new one with a new number. Anybody trying to do that with the old number would imemdiatly trigger alarm. Not perfect, but still better than having your SSN at the mercy of everybody's weak or inexistant security on how they store your identification.

is the anti-dupe article technology.
Somebody else psoted a link refuting your critic point by point : Why EV vehicule failed.
Aren't you simply repeating what you hear as propaganda without even knowing it a bit better ?
And there is any interresting non-evil usage for such a device ?
It depends on what you export. if this is software and services, then frankly the world could do without and not remark anything. if this is industrial goods then you might skew the economy, but the world would work that around after some crisis time.
