You can only sell short if the last price is the same or higher than the previous price. This prevents short selling in a declining market which would have the effect of causing the price to crash. This is an SEC rule.
It is an agricultural pest issue. California is trying to keep things like Florida medflys from destroying their fruit industry. Ohio has a quarantine on wood shipments from Michigan in order to stop the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer which is destroying Ash trees in MI and is spreading. In this case the Ohio reg is kinda funny: In order to retard and prevent the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer into the state of Ohio, the state of Michigan is quarantined. No person shall import or cause to be imported into the state of Ohio or move through the state of Ohio a regulated article from the state of Michgan except in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The important question is whether UofM students are a regulated article and can be legally kept out of Ohio.
There is a test in Econometrics known as Grainger causality. Basically, A variable x causes y if y can be predicted more efficiently by taking into account information on the history of x. There was a paper published 10 or 15 years ago in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics that tried to apply the test to the age old conundrum "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Using something like weekly production data, they were able to provide an answer that showed which caused which. The kicker was that they said that if they'd used monthly data, they'd as likely have gotten the other answer. It is a funny cautionary tale on the use of archane statistics to prrove causality.

Aren't there reactor designs that rely on passive systems for control? The idea is that if the reactor gets too hot, the neutrons become too energetic to cause fission and the reactor cools down on its own.
Workflow engines have done this for years. Xforms can be extensible in this fashion as well. Basically, any engine that interprets some type of XML tag that describes a condition and runs a proceedure call based on that condition with a list of parameters does what this guy is talking about.
Labor Econ is mostly micro IIRC. There is a macro reason as well: College keeps younger folks out of the labor force and thus reduces the number of jobs that an economy must create. This was partially the reason for the GI Bill after WWII. All of those GIs coming home from the war and suddenly flooding the job market was a scary thought for those who remembered the Great Depression of just 15 years earlier.
They can live without the 3% of their market that's made up of hardcore nerds, but the nerds probably won't live without the 25% or more of their entertainment that comes from mainstream media distributors.
I quit using RationalRose around v 3. It was simply too buggy. In fact, that is my complaint with most of the UML tools that I have tried. So are the UML tool makers using UML to design their own tools? If no, then the shoemaker's kids are going barefoot. If yes, then the bugginess of the UML tools is an indictment of UML. If using UML to design a UML tool doesn't help reduce the bug count in the UML tool itself, then why should we bother to use UML on other projects?
But then if big projects like those are practical, maybe it'd be practical to set up some baffles in the water around the Canaries to break up the tsunami, and intentionally trigger it at a known time.
There is evidence that seems to show collapses like La Palma create mega-tsunami that really can cross whole oceans and devastate distant continents. Scientists know that one of the last volcanic landslides in the Canaries happened here on a neighbouring island to La Palma. When a section of the island collapsed around 120,000 years ago it launched a mega-tsunami which would have swept across the Atlantic towards the Americas. Simon Day believes that evidence for its destructive power can be seen thousands of miles away in the Bahamas. He believes the huge wave reshaped some of these islands, blasting these shaped chevron ridges up to 10 kilometres long across parts of the Bahamian coastline. The wave also ripped vast boulders from off the ocean floor, some over 1,000 tons in weight and dumped them high above sea-level.
I want 'em to do to OO.o what Firefox did to Mozilla: Split the package into multiple independent programs. I get mad every time I choose "Exit" on writer forgetting that it will also kill my spreadsheets.
The interstate highway system was the government doing the bidding of the malicious auto manufacturers. The main reason there was a need for the interstate highway system is because the auto manufacturers bought and dismantled key interstate rail tracks. This eliminated any other choice for the government. They had to either build the interstate highway system or get into a cold-war-esque economic game of chicken with the auto manufacturers, with the auto manufacturers trying to buy and dismantle the rail systems faster than they were built.
The truth, as usual, is much more interesting than silly conspiracy theories. In 1919, Col Dwight Eisenhower participated in the Army's Transcontinental Motor Convoy. Much of the time the convoy was forced to travel on dirt or mud roads at a speed of about 6 MPH. During WWII, General Eisenhower got a good look at the autobahns in Germany that had made it possible for the Germans to rapidly shift troops around. This was the genesis of the Interstate Highway System started under President Eisenhower in the 1950s.
I'd be more willing to believe you if you spelled Mohammed right. Don't say it's an ethnic thing, either. Every Arab or Indian/Pakistani muslim I've known has spelled it Mohammed.

So just crack the professor's box and change your grade. That might count as completing the assignment. But that's not really ethical. So what you have to do is crack the prof's box and NOT change your grade in order to get the grade that you would have gotten if you HAD cracked his box and changed the grade yourself. On the other hand, the Prof may want proof. Therefore you must crack the professor's box and change your grade in order to prove that you could have cracked his box in order to complete the assignment and earn your A. But after you have proven it to the Prof's satisfaction you are ethically bound to crack the box again and change your grade back to an F.
Not a troll. Another story: Dad was buying some memory to beef up a home PC one time and remembered attending a conference in the early '70s where he overheard a conversation between Don Knuth and one of the senior Macsyma folks. The two were arguing about how fast memory prices would drop. As he paid for his RAM, Dad said that it turned out they were both off by a factor of 1000 or so.
My dad was a physicist at ORNL who started using the DOE MIT version of Maxima in the early 1970s. He thought Maxima was the greatest thing since sliced bread. His division hired a new Phd at one point whose dissertation had taken 18 months to derive by hand. When he joined ORNL, he ran the problem through Maxima. Only took an afternoon and he was quite relieved when Maxima got the same answer he had gotten by hand.
Even the smartest, most knowledgeable employees can't solve every issue that comes along. I once had an AIX disk failure where the journals were on the disk that failed. No amount of coaxing would convince the OS to put the disk back on line. At that point, I was a senior programmer backed up by a very smart system admin with 10+ years experience. We finally called IBM. The solution provided by a senior engineer at IBM was to run
fdisk -fix_everything -do_not_fix-anything
Not in the manuals and absolutely counterintuitive. I've had similar experiences with an Oracle upgrade that had problems. A call to Oracle at 0300 got a very quick reply that basically said "run some utility that the manual says not to run." Point is that the very best know that they do not know everything and know that sometimes they have to call for help.
No, the draft bill was introduced by Rep. Charles Rangel in order to call attention to the fact that the war in Iraq is being fought disproportionately by African Americans. Rangel sought to open a debate on the need for equitable sacrifice by everyone during a time of war. Giving huge tax breaks to the most well off members of a society while the poorest join the Army due to limited opportunities is surely not asking for shared sacrifice during a time of war. What ever happened to Kennedy's challenge to "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?"
A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money.
"As I think of this bill, and the fact that the more progress we make the deeper we go into the hole, I am reminded of a group of men who were working on a street. They had dug quite a number of holes. When they got through, they failed to puddle or tamp the earth when it was returned to the hole, and they had a nice little mound, which was quite a traffic hazard."
"Not knowing what to do with it, they sat down on the curb and had a conference. After a while, one of the fellows snapped his fingers and said, 'I have it. I know how we will get rid of that overriding earth and remove the hazard. We will just dig the hole deeper.'" [Congressional Record, June 16, 1965, p. 13884].
