That is why I think it can be argued that one has to consider conception the point at which a human life is created, because all other stages of development blur together making selection of any other stage rather arbitrary. Which, as an aside, is one of the reasons the Catholic church is against birth control. Most pills work by preventing a fertilized egg, which they consider to be a life, from attaching to the mother. Of course that only explains there position on those type of contraceptives.
Out of curiousity, does a fetus fit your definition of human life?

I don't think it is at specific temperatures that things sublimate, I believe it is at certain pressures. So water at 1 atmosphere will never sublimate, at no matter which temperature. This can be seen on the state plots present in one of the other posts. You can see at certain pressures, the solid state touches the gaseous state, making possible sublimation, where at other pressures, the solid state doesn't directly touch the gaseous state, making sublimation impossible.
It doesn't have to do with BW vs SD color vs HD color, it just has to do with using more efficient modulation. They are saying that TV stations must use digital modulation instead of the old analog modulation so they can more efficiently use the spectrum available. With digital modulation people could transmit BW, SD color, or HD color with each using up less bandwidth than it would require if they were transmitted using analog modulation.
So let me get this straight, what we should do is make sure that nobody has any idea about what is going on in the world? Are we allowed to give kids books or are they too closely linked to society?
Well, the Suzuki GSXR-1300 Hayabusa is the fastest stock bike I think. It goes over 200 MPH stock. So obviously somebody found something to do with more than 750cc.
Almost completely ignorant of the subject, I ask what commonality there is in designing the GUI between Linux and Windows? I have developed a basic GUI app for Windows using MFC, which at the time I found fairly easy to do, so how would I aim for portability from the start? All of the code for the GUI uses proprietary classes, right? Are there open classes for developing GUIs, that are as easy to use as.NET (think that is what MFC has turned into?) that will work on Windows and Linux? Maybe Linux should provide some kind of interpreter where I can take all the files used in this MFC app and make something at least similar in Linux, or maybe that is not possible, I don't know. It just seems that it is not that easy to make a portable graphical app right from the start, but as I said, I don't know much about the topic... but would be interested in finding out.
I didn't RTFA, but the original post says 70 times the mass, not that it is 70 times more dense. It also states that the planet is about the size of Saturn which has a diameter of about 10 times Earths, which in turn means 1000 times the volume. So it seems it would be much less dense then Earth.
Yes, I agree that my usage of amplify was incorrect, but my point was that a wall would have a higher noise temperature then space, therefore, signal-to-noise ratio would suffer.
I probably don't get 50 stations, but I get at least 20, and with each folded dipole taking up several feet, where am I going to mount these antennae? If you put them on a wall, what are you chances that all the stations are going to line up properly to the wall planes, or are the beams wide enough that +/- 45 Degrees is acceptable? Also, how do you hide the wire on the wall, just going to mount it and paint over it?
From the beginning, my main problem was just your comment
You don't have to adjust antennas to get the best reception. If you were smart, you'd build multiple antennas to the proper wavelengths and chain them together. You make it sound like it is a trivial matter. But I don't believe doing what you say, and making it asthetically pleasing would be a trivial matter, which is why people use suboptimal antennae.
Community associations do have rules about what can be mounted on the outside of the house, and I know people that have had to take roof mounted antennae down. They and many people consider them eye sores, and rightly so. But anyhow, what the community association can and can't do is a question for a lawyer.
Whether or not the gain of the antenna is more than the loss of the walls is less important then does the wall add to the noise temperature of the system, thereby decreasing the signal to noise ratio. A lot of loss just can't be followed by a lot of gain, because eventually all you will be amplifying is noise. I also know people that have tried mounting antennae in their attic, and the reception suffered greatly due to the loss through the roof.
Ok, so you are going to have a different antenna for each station with the directionality focused in the direction of each station? So to get 54 different stations I need 54 different antennae? That sounds like more of a pain then just having a little box that rotates an antenna based on the channel I am tuned to, but if you want to clutter your house with all of these antenna go ahead. Also, how large are these antennae and what do you estimate the beamwidth and gain of these antennae to be?
Where are you going to mount all of these antennas? Most community associations don't even allow one to mount ONE large yagi array antennas on their rooves anymore. Even if they did, one has to rotate the array for optimal reception.
In Maryland, one of the brilliant school Superintendents saw a statistic that kids that took Algebra in seventh grade scored better on SATS. So what did he do? Made every middle school student, whether ready or not, take Algebra in seventh grade. Brilliant, huh? On a side note, this leads me to one of the my favorite quotes, though I don't know who the source is... "Figure lie and liars figure!"
And unless these nerds want to be at their friends house every day helping their friends get miscellaneous things working under Linux that their friends can't figure out how to themselves, the nerds will be honest and tell them that running a Linux system may be a little to complicated for the average user and to go with Windows or a Mac. This is not meant to bash Linux, it is just that I consider myself much more computer literate than the average user (though not an expert by any stretch), and I have so much trouble getting things to work under Linux that I couldn't imagine some of my friends trying to use it.
It seems to me that if you are pumping all of this cold water out of the bottom, eventually the bottom will not be so cold any more and the gradient that apparently is used to produce power would become less significant, reducing the potential power generation applications.
On another, kind of related topic. What keeps the mantle of the Earth so hot? Is it in a perpetual state of cooling since the Earths formation? Is it a PV=nRT thing, where the pressure is just creating the high temperatures? I ask because, what if we started using the heat from the core for our energy, if we have enough places where that heat is extracted wouldn't there be a possibility of lowering the temperature of the core, possibly even to the point of making it solid? Would having a solid core be bad? Maybe we are several orders of magnitude from being able to extract that much energy at this point.
So what if I don't have a car and walk everywhere, should I be charged for the service of providing roads? Or closer to the heart of the./ community, what if I don't have a computer, should I be charged for the service of providing municipal WiFi?
No, he didn't. He claimed that Octave exceeds, which means is superior to, Matlab in some ways. Therefore, I wanted to know what ways he thinks it is superior to Matlab. I want to know this isn't just because of the usual./ bias that everything that isn't free is bad.
Are package managers usually over strict on their enforcement though? Specifically, it seems many times I will have a version of a library installed that is newer than the version of the library the package manager is looking for. Shouldn't the libraries be backwards compatible and are they typically backwards compatibile (guess typically needs to be always though for a package manager to consider it sufficient). I think I ran into problems when I wanted to get IEEE1394 libraries installed on my computer to control my cable box. I couldn't find any packages, so I had to use tarballs, and I think these may have replaced some older library with a newer library, which then caused the package manager to go berserk.
That works great until miscellaneous dependency issues start arising. I suppose this is why some people refuse to use the package based updaters. I have tried learning to use linux to get a myth-tv box running, and while it runs fairly well, there is still a lot of things I can't get working. And now I'm stuck in some kind of dependency hell so I can't get miscellaneous packages I may need to install. When I go to install a Windows fix, it just seems to work.
Ok, I forget the country, but recently I heard about an Australian lady, whos luggage was searched at an airport in some country in Southeast Asia. They found some large quantity of Marijuana in her bags that she is claiming was planted there. She faces a death sentence if convicted of trafficing Marijuana, but her lawyer is hoping she will ONLY get life in prison. Anyhow, I believe the Australian government is up in arms about the whole thing. Sorry for the lack up concrete details, but I thought it was an interesting story relating the the parent.
Digital cable just refers to the modulation scheme, the modulated carriers traveling through a fiber optic or coax cable are still analog signals, just the carrier frequencies are vastly different. What is the limiting factor is the bandwidth available at the low frequencies that can propagate down a power line without tremendous loss.

Well, you see, then Government will then have $10 billion more in income each year, so they will go and spend another $20 billion each year.

300 MILES/hr. A GSXR-750 would probably do 300 km/hr.

So when not under autoland control is the rudder tied to the front wheel? Or are they tied together on large aircraft? I have only flown a Cessna 172.
Care to name a few ways it exceeds Matlab besides being free?
