Less civilized? Last thing I want to be doing at a cafe instead of relaxing is to be looking at a laptop/pda screen while listening to the tapping of keys by some tech junkie who won't take the risk of doing something else in his life for the fear of missing a slashdot/fark post or the latest trivial e-mail from some braindead colleague.
Well, to tell you the truth Theogonia is much more interesting than whatever Christian mythology has presented creation to be. And I'm pretty sure there must be a creation myth that pushes the boundaries of imagination even further. Science however does not deal in religion. Or entertainment. Not that parts of it are not entertaining or supported with religious fervour, but hey lets try to educate kids instead of introducing a new Dark Age...
Funny and ironic how you ignore the fact that your opinion and mine are not to be debated whereas even the most insignificant candidate's, from the point of view of popularity, is. As far as the democracy in action comment. That's not democracy. Democracy is open dialogue of everyone's position. The moment you exclude someone, you stop talking about democracy. The moment you even accept the concept of silencing someon based on some Pop Idol rules enforced by the media then you are no longer worthy of democracy and deserve everything you get.
At the point where you decide that someone's voice or opinion, a presidential candidate's no less, is less important than someone else's, it's game over. You've just given Judas's kiss to democracy... And before you give me bullshit about the expense or effort involved in the production of, or having to read the manifestos of all the candidates, may I remind you this is not a KDE/Gnome/Insert shitty piece of software kind of choice, but something that actually means something.
Perhaps because he was driving an executive class saloon and under certain circumstances he could blow his engine? I know many people who would prefer to die than have their car damaged in any way.
Capacity is defined per channel. So when you have a SIMO, MISO, MIMO, SISO configuration, you have M, M, MxM and 1 respectively channels. The bonus schemes like these give, is that while individual channels are not very good (in comparison to the theoretical of Shannon's maximum) when multiplexed in configurations like that, the total capacity of the system and not of the channel is a lot closer to Shannon's curve for a channel with the equivalent total capacity.
There is no "real" or "fake" Shannon limit. The Shannon limit is the same regardless if you use multiplexed data at the source, or a complex propagation model. In short, no form of source or channel coding (such as MIMO) alters the limit of the capacity of the channel.
As far as MIMO matrices go, the elements of the matrix represent the configuration of Tx antennas (coefficients representing the source signal) in relation to the the number of channels (coefficients that represent the radio channel envelope) are used to propagate the information.
Cut their funding my 50% for a year. See if they repeat it. Above all else this requires of the authority/government to ignore political cost or any form of backlash.
Those people are down there for scientific research in their field. For no other reason. You assume that anyone with a science degree can write code. And you mix the South Pole with your parents' basement. Not everyone's hobby, inclination or skill happens to be in Computer Science. And if the scientists believe that this setup works the way they want it to, then I don't see a problem.
You might have had a point if in the context of Orkut Brazilian Portuguese wasn't the standard of communication. It works both ways you know. And lets not forget English is not the first language to become the de facto medium of communication, either in geographical terms or in terms of a specific practice associated with a specific language. One could argue that French never lost its hegemony in diplomacy. And then there's Greek, the first true global (global meaning the known world from a western point of view) language, surviving in areas of different customs, civilisation and language. And there's Chinese. Mandarin or whatever you want to call it with the thousand dialects. So English is not the first language to gain global exposure and it certainly won't be the last to lose it. Not when half the population on the planet speaks some dialect of Chinese or Hindi...
You've answered your point in saying you have a British telly. Manufacturers and/or resellers in Britain go out of their way to make sure a British telly does not work anywhere else other than Britain (and South Africa and Hong Kong...). Must have something to do with taxes I guess, because I know for a fact that a TV bought anywhere else in Europe will 90% of the time work in all of Europe...
Off course, one could argue that achromatopsia (a greek word if there ever was one, achromo = no colour, opsis = sight) comes in varying degrees, from not being able to tell the difference between colours in colourful patterns, to severe cases and this being a remote island right smack bang in the middle of nowhere with the incestuous relationships that must have evolved, it's not impossible for most of the island's population to suffer from it, to a varying degree.
Sorry to disappoint you but this condition is as likely to have been caused by The Older Ones, as the ancestors of the inbreds of Pitcairn having used Their help to control the Bounty...
A standard is what the majority of people use. Not what they want to use. Or what they should be using. Or what some foreign institution has taken it up to themselves to declare. Or whatever power abusing government or mega-corporation enforces.
As such China's protocols are the standards, as far as they are concerned.

Get your marketing divisions off their asses. You will most likely NEVER EVER get another chance like this. If you don't do something now, before MS responds, you deserve to to stay marginalised to the end of time.
I fail to see how a non-english speaker would be able to feel at home having to deal with the/etcetera/unixsystemresources/binaries/libraries and all the rest of it. How about/home ?
Surely you have to at some point realise that even the most native and translated system will require of the user (or admin) some knowledge of english, just so that they can go around using the system.
... that 4G does not exist. What exists is a memorandum of understanding as far as the expected and required performance shall be. There are no technical specifications for the time being, nothing concrete. There's no guarantee that NTT's 4G will be the chosen 4G implementation, neither is any guarantee that NTT's implementation shall be the one to gain the biggest market share (see the FDD and TDD UMTS modes and just when a compromise was reached, China come up with their own system...)
Slashdot Mirror
Erm. I'm ashamed of myself.
"This bastard has a bigger wallet than that bastard" and all that... Chicks have always had mathematical skills.
Awwwww poor band, they gained nothing by having their music repeatedly exposed to millions of people... â1 was more than they deserved.

Fair enough. Foschini's paper had slipped past me.

I've found DVD Idle Pro a hassle to use.
Instead I switched to Video Lan as my player and everything works fine.
Except that by being christened you are absolved by exactly that. Check your facts next time.
