The power output of the bomb was about 1% of that of the sun, not the energy output. As the Slashdot article says this was only for 39 nanoseconds. The energy involved was much less than 1% of that of the sun, it was just emitted in a very short time.
Newton didn't get it 'wrong' it is just that his theories are less accurate at extremes - Einstein's theories of relativity produce answers that are the same as Newton's theories of motion at 'non-relativistic' speeds (hence the term non-relativistic).
These speeds (or more properly velocities perhaps) are those anything less than a significant fraction of the speed of light (or very close to a massive object for gravitational calculations). So, you only need Newton's equations for almost all practical applications.
Novell GPL-ed Yast2, so SuSE is free now. The packages that are missing from the FTP install are things like a database package and some other app. Nothing you cannot do without.
Tritium is easy to come by, surround the reactor in a blanket of Lithium-6 and the neutron flux turns it into Tritium and Helium-4. The Tritium is separated from the Helium by adsorbing it onto a metal (can't remember which one)
Also there was a 'Christmas special' between the two series that has never been released on CD or anything. I can not remember much of the plot but it did explain what had become of Trillian.
You are not required to 'publish' your source code - you just have to give it to anyone you have given the binary to, i.e. your investment firm customers. They can do what they want with it of course.... but then they asked you to do it with GPLed Linux in the first place. From the GPL FAQ (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequi reSourcePostedPublic):
'...the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL'
Note the 'to the programs users' bit.
Compiling with gcc does *not* place the compiled code under the GPL, as long as any linked libraries are not GPLed (they can be LGPLed). See, again, the GPL FAQ, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#CanIUseGP LToolsForNF
If these initial deployments are successful, and the organizations see real benefits from their switch to Linux then it could be the start of a wave of Linux deployments across Europe, at least in public organizations such as these.
However, if there are problems with some of them it could hold up the acceptance of Linux (etc.) for some while.... So we can only hope it goes well!
In relativity, as opposed to any quantum theory of cosmology, the big bang was a singularity where things like matter density, gravity gradients etc. are (were) infinite. "The laws of physics" break down - and nothing can be said in this view as to *what* the singularity was "actually like".
This (speed of light varies) theory postulates that the speed of light, c, was also infinite at/in the big bang singularity. As we can say nothing about this non-physical event (as it were) we can only talk about things *just after* the big bang, where the various infinities are "merely" very very large.
Hence "close to infinity" - in colloquial english. Matter density etc. was also "close to infinity"

No, this new one is for civilian stuff. They already have the one for the nuclear weapons programme
I think it is the physical hosting company they use:

Don't know what it is like elsewhere, but here in the UK: - a teen turn off their mobile phone?? I think not :-)

Tiberium. Anyone else here waste too much time playing CnC ?
Because they make it!
