I would hope the law would be written so that you don't actually have to hit a dear to meet the legal definition of hunting - that would be hunting well
Every one I've seen has a sign proclaiming them to be legal, with a reference to some section of federal law, which I never was curious enough to look up.
I've had Cingular for a while, and it has a tendency not to drop calls, but to stop transmitting audio in either direction and never recovering. But the little display says I'm still connected, and I'm sure I keep getting charged for minutes.
When it does this I have to hang up and call back.
Hydrogen conversion has its own inefficiency, so that's out.
I wouldn't rule it out so quickly. Hydrogen production is a well developed industrial technology (just the volume for Crisco alone...), and there's no fundamental limit to the efficiency. In addition, solar power produces direct current, which is well suited to electrolysis of water.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge on the subject could weight in on the efficiency of electrolytic hydrogen production?
The AVR butterfly is from the 8 bit line of microcontrollers. The AVR32 is a much more power beast - the dev kit sells for $499 ($544 at Digikey).
Don't get me wrong, I love the AVR microcontrollers - but we're talking a few K of RAM, 8 to 128K of Flash for the program, a smattering of EEPROM and a top speed of 16MHz. I would be impressed if you could run the Linux kernel on that.
I agree that the hatred and vitriol are out of place (I have not read much of the discussion.) There is far too much of it on forums such as this, and it's unproductive, mean, and not in keeping with innate value of human beings.
My feelings are mostly of frustration, as people continue to push public policy in areas which should be based on science, but is not.
The biblical quote, like all such quotes, has many valid meanings. One allegorical meaning I read into it (not a traditional one), is that if we choose to ignore what we know concerning the environmental impact of our actions, the earth will bear witness against us. The earth is already changing based on our actions, and it is not becoming more hospital for us. So what do we choose?
We care because people with these beliefs sometimes have an influence on local and national policy, and we end up with poor decisions, particularly on environmental and scientific issues.
For me, I think the bible is perfectly clear on science and the environment:
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day: I have put before you life and
death, blessing and curse. Choose life -- if you and your offspring would live"
I have a MA in physics from Berkeley, and I understand only very little of what we currently understand about the creation of the universe. I certainly couldn't explain what parts of it I know it to my wife, a smart, well educated but not technically inclined woman. So how would a guy with an ancient egyptian education be able to understand the creation of the world? What value would there be in trying to tell it to him literally?
This is how I originally understood they were able to get away with charging $750 per song, because it counts for all the people who then go the song from them.
That would be true if the song was some sort of one of a kind trade secret. But given the availability of these "bootleg" copies, I find it hard to believe that her downloaded copy led to ANY more people not buying the song. The prevalence of this music on the internet, and the ease of making and sharing unprotected copies, means that her download of a single copy almost certainly did NOT make it available to a single person to whom it was not available before.
If you broke into my company and stole our designs and posted them on the internet, then yes, I can make a claim for huge damages. But the cat's out of the bag already - she didn't pay her $0.99, but I find it hard to believe she contributed to even a single person not paying their $0.99.
Part of the answer lies in your life situation. For me, (married, two kids in school, wife in school), it would be a total no-brainer - the closer job with more money. I could use the money and I wouldn't have to move my family.
However, if I were 25 and single, I would definitely go for the hip/more interesting job. Control of your own project is much more important, overall, than the specific technology you are using, because it gives you an opportunity to look at the big picture issues - architecture, design choices, hardware constraints, etc. That will serve you very well in the long run even if you later end up using another language.
No, the ID number at the top determines the ordering of the questions. Everyone gets a unique ID number with a specific ordering of questions based on that ID (kept secret).
During many long nights of pacing up and down with a fussing newborn, I often thought about a mouse I could operate with my feet, so I could at least surf the web. Of course, by the time I had the mental acuity to do anything about it, the need passed.
Open source software is like stay at home spouses - traditional measures of economic value often miss much of the essentials.
My wife has been home with the kids for seven years now. According to the tax forms, she has no income. However, she has a substantial positive economic impact on the household. Caring for children, cooking, etc., etc., needs to be done, and it would cost a lot of money to farm it out.
Similarly, how much money has our company spent on open source software? If you add up all the money for books and the purchase of an IDE, about $200. Other software purchases are well over $100K (we do a lot of 3D modeling and simulation). However, open source has had a big impact on the company: avr-gcc for embedded code, Python for all kinds of tools, linux for code development stations and test stations, and on and on.
In other words, if our galaxy collided with another, wouldn't the distances between stars be so great that earth's orbit would remain relatively unaffected? Would life survive the collision (for the most part)?
I believe that such a collision would have absolutely no discernable effect on a solar system - you could work it out by computing the density of stars, and figuring how close another star would have to come to the solar system so that the tidal forces would perturb the planetary orbits, and the probability this would happen. (OK, the part about the tidal forces would take a little bit of work).
Mirrors (1) lose some power with each reflection, and (2) introduce distortion into the beam because the mirror surface is not perfectly flat. Keeping the shape of the beam just right, according to the article, is crucial for getting this to work.

Do you know why it's so low?

Oh, don't be a jerk.
They just delay the release so that the hardware can become powerful enough to run what they've got.
