I wonder nobody noticed the owner of this ISP (Videotron which is also offering its services Canada-wide and even outside Canada) is Quebecor which is also owner of a major television channel, which is owner of many other entities involved in film, music and media productions.
So, no wonder it wants its ISP to lead the march to block P2P and do as much harm as possible to anything that can be used to infringe copyright laws. It is somewhat like have the cop, the judge and the claimer in the same person. In short, a conflict of interests.
I can certify chicken are not freezing in place in an non-isolated and unheated barn by -30ÂC. I used to have many chicken in such a barn and the temperature often goes well below -20ÂC here and it can stay such for a week or so. Also, I never say an exploding tree in my whole life, for such a phenomenon to manifest, the tree must be full of water and the freeze being very fast.
Well, this is all about how would you expect the street man to make himself an opinion, if it worth him to have one, but it should since credits are somewhat dependants on him and his peers, if the first line information channel is itself biased, incomplete or worst totally incompetent? Then, even if this channel is working well, how would you expect the street man without any scientific culture at all to be able to understand and analyze for himself this information?
I think it is just not possible at all unless the whole country scientific culture become a priority in the educational institutions. Otherwise, the street man will stick on myths and legendary stories from the bible or any other book looking like an authority or someone using it like an authoritative book.
I am not optimistic about any change in this direction, even if the new USA President is less dummy than the former one.
What is wrong, is Newton's gravitation theory. It is a good approximation at our scale, but we observe everyday important deviations with the GPS. The clocks in the satellites are not counting time at the same speed as observed on earth. Then, the simple calculations obtained from Newton's theory of gravitation are not describing exactly the satellites behavior and they need to be continuously adjusted. Otherwise, deviations in the coordinate system maybe skewed as large as about 10 km/per day.
But, no need to panic, one day we may discover Einstein's was also wrong, but did a good approximation of the reality in his time. In fact we already know the gravitation theory in very small scale systems, at the quantum mechanics level does not hold true as currently formalized.
This is what is fun about science, there is always something else to discover.
This is good advice. I just want to add to it you can have the lawyer check the non-compete paper you signed before leaving. This may be limited some way if you start your business in another city or some other conditions. There is already existing cases that may shed light on what you can do and what you cannot. Some clauses may be declared abusive and invalidated.
But I don't believe there is an issue about the code if you are starting from ground up. Have you ever look at how similar Abiword, OpenOffice and the likes are to MS Office?
Mod parent up.
The whole point here is exactly what he said. Producing a huge amount of anti-particles for further study, experiments, injection beams into colliding devices, etc.
Yep, everything before 1.0 is considered stable enough for production.When it hits the 1.0 version number, this is considered suspicious and may have something broken in it and not backward compatible with the 0.x versions.
Living next door to a drug dealer? Oops, you were within 100 meters so you're a possible drug user according to the latest "proximity to potential criminality" algorithms.
Humm, I'd rather than say: "Oups, cops hadn't done their job". since they know there is a drug dealer there and let him free selling his stuff.
Humm, maybe I should pass the Bar exam.;-)

Not actually true. Look at Manhattan project (Wikipedia) and I copy here the associated paragraph:
"Teller also raised the speculative possibility that an atomic bomb might "ignite" the atmosphere, because of a hypothetical fusion reaction of nitrogen nuclei. Bethe calculated, according to Serber, that it could not happen. In his book The Road from Los Alamos, Bethe says a refutation was written by Konopinski, C. Marvin, and Teller as report LA-602, showing that ignition of the atmosphere was impossible, not just unlikely.[7] In Serber's account, Oppenheimer mentioned it to Arthur Compton, who "didn't have enough sense to shut up about it. It somehow got into a document that went to Washington" which led to the question being "never laid to rest".[8]"
So, in conclusion, they didn't test the first atomic bomb before computations were performed and Edward Teller himself wrote a report to refute his own hypothesis.
What if mother nature takes care about the CO2 emissions without us interfering?
First of all, aren't you part of this so called "mother nature"? I think we are all, then we are also perfectly entitled to do whatever we believe is necessary to save our lives.
Second, if you don't think you are part of this so called "mother nature", you still believe at it as being some kind of God or a set of gods. So, your argumentation is metaphysical and perfectly useless in real life to solve any real life problem.
Are we 100% sure how the weather will be affected by the ships?
Probably not, but it is a false argument to do nothing. In this kind of effort, if a consensus lead to put this idea into action, some kind of testing will be done. We are neither 100% sure the windmills do not interfere with the weather. This doesn't stop the effort to use them to produce electricity because it is less harmfull than burning coal, for example.
You need waaay more thane ONE browser to write JavaScript.
Not all JavaScript is intended to be executed in browsers. Server-side JavaScript was introduced a year after client-side JavaScript, and desktop scripting in JScript has been available in Windows for a decade as part of Windows Scripting Host.
You don't need more than one browser to write a JavaScript program, you need more than one browser to develop a website. These are two very distinct things.
Very true, I even use JavaScript in some pieces of software completely unrelated to a browser or a web server. With Rhino and the likes, the JavaScript can be executed from about any other software, so it can provide a scripting language to extend a software and customize it to fit a specific customer need. Actually a scripting language by itself.
Well, maybe they hide to boot Windows when you are away? They let you think they use Linux because can't stand you cry and bang the floor in the middle of the room.
This is a perverted usage of the DNS system at my sense. The name of the server must be set to ease its use by end-users, not by sysadmins or anyone else. There is other ways to track these things for the sysadmins or network admins.
The problem is since the sysadmins are usually the guys responsible for the DNS, they are hacking the server names to suite their own selfish needs without any care of the end-users.
Sorry guys, but I was thinking the whole point about the DNS system is to ease use of computers by USERS, not sysadmins. I have too often found networks where the sysadmins named the servers for their own easy usage rather than ease usage by users. No user is caring about where the f... computer is located. There is plenty of other databases and systems that can be used to ease the work of sysadmins that nobody should have to hack the names for this purpose.
Anyway, as I understand it, it doesn't matter at all if you have or haven't RTFA. Everyone is commenting it anyway.
Evolution is much slower than expected, I was thinking the laptop become extincted by 2015.
There is not much snow in Montreal until end of December and not much after end of March, so, bicycles are usable nine months a year.
Do let be confuse, Montreal is still far from Iqaluit.
Doesn't matter the US Congress composition. They have responsability to act for the good wealth of the country. If they think science is unimportant, this is probably because some kind of message is not reaching them or there is not enough evidences it is actually important. Or worst, most peoples in the country do not think science is important enough.
... but this now allows for tons of things to be taken out of context (things taken out of context are the main reason that people think the LDS church is so weird... that, and flat out lies about it). You are taking us out of context.
BTW, what is the context for LDS? Is the context still current? Aren't they all out of context anyway?
I have the same comment. My first question was: What Joomla is build on? And I looked at the Joomla's site clicked on details without success then documentation and then the Wiki to finally came back here and see the fifth paragraph with MySQL, Apache and PHP mentioned.
Is it so difficult to have a short notice with the prereqs on top of the description of a product? Seems to me this is always the first question, do I meet the requirements for installation.
You have to wonder how current EDS customers who are attached to their non HP hardware and software will feel about this when EDS suddenly has a massive bias to drive every nail with an HP hammer. "Hitting your thumb is equally painful whatever the hammer's brand."
Someone can define HP's culture? Compaq's culture? Digital's culture? IBM's culture? And so on?
It would be interesting to finally know if they are really so much different.

Well, so nano can be harmfull or neutral. Could it be beneficial? I mean, if we don't know after all, it may induce positive changes as well.
