In the images shown in the links, and from the limited experience I've seen of them in person, they aren't looking at the same thing. There's five or six different things being displayed (and a monitor showing CNN because the boss thinks it's neat) that have nothing to do with each other. If the people only use a small portion of what's being displayed (or don't really use it at all), it's a pretty expensive toy.
Now if the display was one 'thing'--for example, a wide area network status with some of the monitors devoted to a map showing the links, while others showed statistics--then I see the value. And I'm sure there are places using them in just this way; is it just that people showing off the multi-monitor displays feel a need to be flashy with ten different things being displayed, then go back to a boring yet practical application?
Something I've always wonders about these displays

What exactly is the advantage over having, say, four or so monitors on a desk? Since the people are sitting pretty far away from the wall display, wouldn't you be only getting an effective resolution about a tenth (or less, depending on distance) of what you'd have from being right in front of the display?
At around $5.50 US (depending on the exchange rate from Euros) a crossing, it's just a bit more than half as expensive as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel's $10 US one-way charge for a passanger car.
It's not as if the Romans were on some strange bookburning spree. The library was accidental damage from the attack on the city--given the chance, Caeser would have picked up all the goodies as additional loot.
If we look at some information on
light pollution, we see that low-pressure sodium lighting (LPS) is actually preferred because it is easilly filtered out. (Not to mention, it's more energy efficient.)
Is there an invisible, bloodthirsty unicorn hiding behind you right now, waiting to pounce?
Why, yes. Yes, there is. But he likes me. He really likes me. He didn't like my roommate. No, he didn't. He didn't like the police officer, either. Oh, no. He didn't like them at all.
Strangely enough, the other police officers didn't believe in invisible unicorns either. But they never could prove he didn't exist. They never could prove...anything.
"During normal handling, the STF is very deformable and flows like a liquid. However, once a bullet or frag hits the vest, it transitions to a rigid material, which prevents the projectile from penetrating the Soldier's body,"
It bends under normal pressure, but stiffens under force. So, all you have to do is keep your needle from impacting the armor at high speed and you're good to go. Even a home sewing machine lets you control the speed; a commercial unit shouldn't have any problem at all.
My answer is you're asking the wrong question. What the buyers are asking is "The mini iPod holds more than enough music, fits in my pocket better, and is $50 cheaper. Why would I buy a regular iPod when it doesn't do anything extra, doesn't fit as nice, and cost more money?"
From their perspective, those extra 11 gigs don't do anything for them, because they aren't even using the 4 gigs up.
Copper pipes, most likely, although I wouldn't discount ductwork for the heating/air conditioning. My dad had the same problem. His cable modem hookup was by the utility room--all the water pipes were just on the other side of the wall. It wasn't until we moved the wireless router away from that wall (about 2-3 meters) that he could get decent connectivity from his recliner. (After all, how else can you web surf while watching TV in comfort?)
So which "mother" passes on the mitochondrial DNA?
The one providing the egg which was used in its whole. Since the other mouse only provided DNA from her egg, none of her mitochondria were passed to the egg that was used.
One problem you get when speaking math with an Art professor is getting hung up on the minor details the Art professor is getting wrong while ignoring the major point. While Joshua may be lacking in rapes, he could have been referring to:
Genesis 19:8
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Judges 5:30
Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two;
Judges 19:25
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
2 Samuel
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
My parents' generation listened to music on 45s, where they get together and play songs at random. My generation listened to LPs where the songs were in a particular order every single time. My kids' generation listens to MP3s and play songs at random.
Obviously, both my parents' generation and my kids' generation are brain damaged, because us baby boomers never took drugs while going through college....
Actually, a puppeteer's idea of melee is hiring someone big, smart, and talented to take care of the enemy while the puppeteer stays far, far away....perferably on a different planet. Remember, by definition, you only see insane puppeteers because a sane one would never come near an alien.
We won't know until somebody reads the article and actually understands what it means.
I found it interesting that something that sounds quite fundamental to quantum physics has been passed over for so long with a 'And then something happens'.
But why is the Astronomy Picture of the Day site posting a photo of a weather station? We're not talking about a photo of Europa. Nor a picture of a probe to Europa. We're not talking even talking about a picture dealing with a test project to help plan for a probe. It's a weather station sitting at the site while they plan what to do next.
Just because NASA is paying for it doesn't mean it's got jack to do with astronomy. It's almost as if they've hired the slashdot editor crew. The next thing you know, they'll start having duplicate pictures posted all through the archive.
It's not quite that simple. According to the
University of Illinois, since it's in the Atlantic it's called a hurricane. Cyclone is used in the Indian and Southwestern Pacific area.

Since the star it's circling, CoKu Tau 4, is estimated to be about a million years old, then this potential planet should be younger.
They still won't notice the Vogon constructor fleet.
It's not as if the Romans were on some strange bookburning spree. The library was accidental damage from the attack on the city--given the chance, Caeser would have picked up all the goodies as additional loot.
So you'd need two access points?

Are your walls lined with lead or something

It can't be done; *cough*Germany*cough* it's never worked *cough*Japan*cough* and never will *cough*Italy*cough*
You've obviously never tried living here....

It almost makes me want to try Battlefield 1942 just to see if there are love-sick civilians wandering around dodging shrapnel.
It's a classic suckers bet. You'll run out of money or hit the table limit eventually. This is where probability theory comes in handy.
