If I remember correctly from another forum, this article does not take black holes merging, into account. When two galaxies with central black holes around this limit collide, their cores will eventually merge into one above this limit. The maximum here is only for black holes pulling in normal matter not for interactions between black holes.
Standard practice indeed. I went to a customer site once and was taken aback when I saw his cubicle filled with HP boxes. He had over 400 HP servers and he had the same couple of sheets of paper in a box for each server. I am not sure if it was more than 400 little boxes I remember about a dozen or so huge boxes containing little boxes each with a couple of sheets of paper.
What I am curious about is if this is legal. You cannot sell your game after you are done with it. You have to purchase a separate game to play it on your laptop when you travel since you cannot bring your TPM from your desktop with you.
I would be more curious about the strength of the laser beam. If it is strong enough to create a conductive channel but not require a heavy amount of power to generate, it could make for an interesting weapon. Use the laser to create a channel in the air and run a current through it from the laser weapon. Sort of a Tazer that uses a laser to create a path in the air to the target. I believe this is in the works somewhere.
About as hilarious as my brother in law trying to teach "Eubonics" to one of his colleagues. His colleague was from South Africa of African descent. They were a bunch of Scientists (Genetic Engineers) sitting around a table. I think they had, Danes, East Indians, German, African with the only US born being my brother in law who is of Chinese descent.
If they are forced to police P2P for copyright violations, then they have to police for child pr0n, then sexual predators, then for pr0n filtering, then the lawsuits show up for filtering breast cancer sites, drug rehab support sites, etc.. It opens up a can of worms no ISP wanting to avoid legal headaches would want to stick their toes into.
However FIOS is looking more attractive to me as it becomes available here because of Comcast fiddling with bandwidth and lowering the HD quality of their channels. I prefer to get what I pay for, in particular bandwidth and HD programming, not a % of the bandwidth I pay for and badly degraded HD programming.
I have 10 CD's I listen to. I have have purchased them over the last 10 years. I do not listen to anything else on radio or cable on demand. Why should I have to pay this tax?
The reporters interviewing the scientists probably go tune out 99% of what is said, then they they ask what if the really impossible happened, scientists go well there is a infinitisimal chance of destroying the world if we do this. Guess what gets headlines?
UAV's and other military robots are remote piloted, some are 100% remotely controlled others are semi-autonomous, we still call them all robots. The Battle-Bots are generally 100% remotely controlled, but as robot reflexes become faster than human ones, the Battle Bots will change and become more and more autonomous. Who knows, maybe the inspiration for a future War-Bot may be found in the Arena one day. What I find interesting is that Americans prefer their robots form to follow function whereas the Japanese prefer humaniform robots.
How long before someone builds a virus that will carry the signature of a "pirated" song and infect a bunch of machines so that entire networks get shutdown by ISP's?
About 20 years ago when they colorized Casablanca an office mate of mine was complaining about their ruining a perfectly good movie. I told him that he would be complaining even more when they used technology to make it in 3D. Seems that won't be too far away any more.
This is not something new, Baen books discovered this a while back. They started the Baen free library http://www.baen.com/library/defaultTitles.htm/. What they discovered was that readership in the authors books skyrocketed. What they found strange was the books posted in the Free library were the ones that started selling!
And here is another reason why the American Educational system has been on a downhill slide for years. They are so busy with crud like this to teach. More emphasis is given to bureaucracy than to education. This means that even more tax monies that go to schools has to be funneled into corporate pockets to buy even more crud to "protect" the corporate interests.
Problem solving skills, generally knowledge is not the issue. What you do not know you can find out, on the job it is mostly fix problems that crop up. Whether it be with people or machines or software.
Depending on the how they define forensic work, a system administrator could be prosecuted for reading the log files for login information, or tracing back history files to see what led to critical system files being corrupted. If these simple daily administrative tasks are classified as forensic it would make it illegal for a system administrator to do his job. With congress's track record of overly broad definitions and over generalizations, odds are good that this legislation will make a PI license a requirement for all system administrators. Hmm, does this mean I get to carry a gun too?
What I find strange, the money for the politicians come from the RIAA suing the people. The people are the ones that vote these politicians in! If we just vote them out, i.e. keep reminding everyone which politicians are RIAA stooges and to remind them that voting for them is voting for the RIAA to sue them it should be a fairly straight forward way of cleaning up the mess.
If she tries to push for legislation to outlaw the sale of mature games to children, it would have to apply to books, movies, music and internet content or the Judges will have to toss the legislation. Imagine the Hollywood lobby's reaction when they find out it applies to them as well.
No surprise to me, I had an issue in high school with the science teacher. I got in trouble for correcting him on stars, told him they came in all colors red, green, blue, black, white etc.. He thought they were all white.
His constituent's are the Hollywood crowd, so he is voted in by the bloc of voters there. Everyone else in the US gets to pay for for the laws he creates. We pay in extra taxes for the enforcement of those laws, we pay in the higher cost as our ISP's have more government mandated software/hardware monitoring requirements, we pay in reductions in freedoms those laws restrict due to their overly broad scope. Does he care? no. It is up to everyone else to make sure the representatives of their districts kill the bill.
I have read 3 of Sanderson's novels and enjoyed them tremendously. His books may not have the grand scope of Jordan's but his characters are more vivid. I think he will more than do justice to the WOT series.
I have hundreds of books in my home and about a hundred or so ebooks. All the ebooks I have are from the Baen Free Library (http://www.baen.com/library/) in mobireader format or html format. I used to read on my clie 320x200 resolution all the time before its battery gave out. I am looking for a replacement but it will probably be a iTouch or iPhone. The only reason I have not bought one of those is I would like it to be able to run a ssh client from it as well. What I would really like is an iTouch type tablet with a 5" screen that I can connect to the internet via bluetooth/wifi. I will carry a multi-functional programmable electronic pad with me, but I will not carry a single function book reader, I might as well just carry a book.
I have heard horror stories of co-locations with gopher, rat and red ant problems. They seem to like chewing on the cables. Personally the only issue I know of was a when the computer rooms cooling system was malfunctioning and it took some real hardware debugging to fix it. Turned out to be a big wasp's nest clogging up the air duct.

Are these concentrations higher than those used in Homeopathy?
