Click on "expand" in the statistics. You quoted the average of the Euro countries (excluding, e.g., the UK).
Germany, by the way, has 6.4% (according to this chart).
You failed to consider that the target applicants are already using gas for heating purposes anyway. Now the heat production of the engine will be exactly matched to this need (same as before). All extra gas consumption is fully transformed into electricity (which is possible, even for only 40% raw conversion efficency, as long as the electrical output is much below the heat load).
So, overall, the extra gas consumption (compared to conventional heating) is transformed with 100% efficiency into electricity which is a vast improvement over all competing technologies with similar flexibility.
No, I (theoretical solid state physicist) didn't know about NASA ADS, but it seems to cover most of the relevant literature (including arXiv and APS journals). So yes, an integration into I, Librarian would be great.
In CERN DS (with certainly a focus on high-energy physics) my papers are shown only up to 2006; so this database appears useless for me.
What the submitter needs (and I also need) is an organizer for scientific papers with an interface for standard fields such as authors, journal, title, doi, http links etc. I, Librarian seems to fulfill this need; unfortunately with direct interfaces (for retrieving pdf and meta information at the same time) only with pubmed.
If anybody knew of (or planned for) an adaptation to physics (with interfaces to arXiv.org, the APS journals and ideally other journals), I would be very interested (even as a paying customer).
Status, according to the project site, http://code.google.com/p/gittorrent/: Currently no-one is actively developing either this developed version or Jonas' C++ implementation.
The last project entries/downloads are from February 2008. Why such a hype over a dead/dormant project?
Maybe one should inform the US Attorney General about a certain document, the Declaration of Independence. He may not be the only one who can't remember it:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
1. The combination of LaTeX and TeX produces perfect layout if used appropriately. In contrast, the output of PowerPoint and Word and the like induces physical pain in people that care for proper layout. LaTeX/TeX is a production quality typesetting system just as QuarkXPress.
2. You seem to mix up TeX and LaTeX. Plain TeX is the typesetting system with which the expert can do everything. LaTeX is a set of macros and document types and classes which allows less experienced users to get near perfect results for a restricted set of cases.
3. If you want to make signs for a garage sale, look for the appropriate package. For a start, I would recommend "slides" or "foils". On the other hand, I will be the first to admit that a standard WYSIWYG word processor might be a better tool for this job (if you don't care, e.g., for proper kerning of the letters).
The German regulation on "free speech" is essentially: it is forbidden to lie about the Holocaust, i.e., to deny the murder of millions of jews by the Nazis. In my view (and probably in the view of most Germans) this restriction is necessary in order to retain the memory of what happened and to prevent that it can happen again; furthermore, it is the least we can do for survivors and the families of victims. It is nothing to look down upon, in particular not for Americans.
How can somebody argue about global warming in an US magazine and not criticize the enormous waste of energy by Americans? My Ford Galaxy, a 7-seater, uses less than 7 liters per 100 km (that should be about 40 miles/gallon) at a cruising speed of 150 km/h (that is 94 mph) when using the air condition. Where are such cars offered/bought in the US? One important factor in the fuel efficiency of the mentioned car is, of course, the engine: a VW 1.9 liter TDI diesel engine (115 hourse power). My house needs probably a tenth of the oil/gas for heating that a typical american house would need in the same climate.
Today, the US waste energy like there is no tomorrow. In contrast to developing countries, they have no good excuse for not employing more energy efficient technology/insulation. And the last thing the world needs is blaming environmentalists for the lack of options against the green house effect (that is still denied by the present US government AFAIK).
Is it really necessary to let everybody know that and when you have failed such as in these instances?

As posted somewhere else, the lowest observed lethal oral doses for humans is 192 mg/kg. This is, however, roughly equivalent to 10g of coffee beans per kg.
9 out of 10 times when I read something about recent US government or politics, it gets me started on a rant (anti-US government). In particular, I won't bring my family to the US as long as you have the Guantanamo-Problem.
However, credit when credit is due. In Germany, we are used of reading stories about multi-million government projects which, in the end, do not work. Several examples are police projects. This sickens me because we tax payers are ripped off and because good police officers waste their time and cannot protect us. So, again: congratulations to the Chicago police.
Just a clarification: in contrast to the original example, your suggestions also remove the white space. A truly equivalent shorter variant of the original example is: s/(\s+)\(.*?\)/$1/g
A more concise variant is: s/(\s+)\([^)]*\)/$1/g
A possibly unintended consequence of all examples (that is best exposed in the last one) is that they do not preserve balancing of parenthesis. To remove only pairs of parenthesis that do not contain other parentheses, use:
s/(\s+)\([^()]*\)/$1/g
which may be nested.
If and as long as you love your government, your police authorities etc., you are right: you should not be worried. Otherwise, you might fear that somebody tracks your writing to, talking to, or meeting the wrong people. The issue is total surveillance; as long as policemen are not a single connected Borg, their presence does not pose the same dangers.
One additional danger, in particular in countries like the US where criminal juries are primarily composed of non-experts, is that weird coincidences become much more likely to be observerved in a surveillance state. Can you be sure that you never have used the same plane as a 9/11 suspect? That you don't have common acquaintances? That something you sold in a garage sale has not been used by a criminal? Once large enough data bases are in place, police will be able to find suspects for any crime that might have happened or that someone wants to pretend has happened.
It might surprise you that I am currently trying to get surveillance cameras installed at a local school. However, here the purpose is not total surveillance, but to increase the physical security of the kids and to decrease vandalism. Ordinary people are not affected since they have no business on the school campus anyway.
2) If the judge decides that the text is ambiguous, she will determine WHO WROTE the text, and decide in favor of THE OTHER PARTY.
The question is: who is the other party. If I read it correctly, Darl Mc Bride represented Novell when the contract was signed. So would any errors have to be blamed on him or on Novell?
One hint as to the intentions of both parties in the contract could be the price. One might assume that Novell would not intentionally have sold rights worth billions for a mere few millions to Caldera.
Cool. You took a dull task and found the perfect solution. In your case, the time saving makes the advantage obvious.
I am a scripting type of person, too, and learned regular expressions recently for this reason. My threshold for trying to replace a dull task with an elegant automated solution is about when the perfect solution takes 20% more time than I expect to save in the foreseeable future. For me, this is an acceptable price for being a master instead of a slave.
First of all, Intel compilers also optimize for AMD platforms. For my code (which over the time was ported to about 10 architectures including Cray Unicos, IBM AIX, Digital Unix, Fujitsu VPP, HP UX), Intel Fortran compilers improved the performance on AMD processors over gcc by up to 80%. With ifc 5.0 I had to choose the correct options manually (instruction set, cache size etc), with ifc 7.1 the default options were good enough. The same executable runs at nearly optimal speed on Pentium 4, Athlon MP 1.2 GHz and 2200+ and Opteron 244.
Secondly, there are optimized precompiled libraries available for both Intel and AMD processors (AMD ACML, ATLAS, libgoto).
Finally, dedicated compilers are available for AMD64 from Portland Group, NAG, Absoft, and Pathscale.

How can such a bug in a security sensitive component of OS-X be overlooked in testing?

However, you are consistently writing experiance when you mean experience. Just my two cents.

obviously it should have read: "... Preserves Private Parts".
According to this post, the comparisons, in particular the WSJ ads, are from april and at least the Intel numbers were correct at this time.

If my memory serves right, DDR was promoted by AMD while Intel prefered Rambus. How come I hardly see Rambus memory on PCs now?
Whoever cannot see the irony deserves to feel insulted.
