This system is not designed to deliver the most FLOPS per dollar. It aims to address the heat dissipation, space, and noise concerns that arise using lots of MMCOTS boxes. Factor in the Watts and it starts to look really good.
My big concern is that Transmeta recently announced that it was getting out of the chip making business. Unless another company licenses Transmeta's silicon design, Orion is going to run into serious supply-line shortages.
Black holes are also entirely theoretical. Are you more inclined to believe the black hole theory because it has been around and unchallenged for a while?
The short answer is yes, the address associated with the phone number should be available to the 911 operator for landlines. Wireless phones are supposed to be required to provide location information as well, but implementing this so-called E911 (enhanced 911) system has been slow.
Back in the day, my friend's Yugo skittered away from a side impact collision like it was a styrofoam cup flicked across a table. There was a little body damage, but most of the energy went to friction.
The creationist view is specifically that humans did not evolve from non-human species. Even if God "chose to create the creatures in the world with evolution", the creationist view explicitly excludes this possibility.
Your belief that God created the world, and may have done so through evolution, is not a creationist view.
This seems to be a case when the privacy of the information could have been maintained despite the breach of security if they had been using a "translucent database". Peter Wayner wrote a good book about this, and as far as I know coigned the term.
It naturally requires some thought to do right but it seems like it could have worked in this case.
Because this is a rare tumor there is not a lot of information available about the expected duration of survival following diagnosis. Based on a very small study of patients who had surgical treatment for nonfunctioning neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (the relevant category for neuroendocrine tumors) the median survival among patients is more than 10 years if the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes. If the lymph nodes are positive for cancer then median survival is about 6 years. Because these statistics are based on only a few cases it is really impossible to say what Steve's individual prognosis would be. However, he's clearly better off with this type of tumor than with an adenocarcinoma, which has a median survival of about 18 months for the 20% of patients who are lucky enough to be diagnosed early enough to have surgery. Median survival is only about 4-5 months among those for whom surgery is not an option.
Just in case someone might actually need some of the information read on Slashdot sometime, the general serving sizes for drinks are:
1 1/2 oz of 80 proof alcohol (40% EtOH by vol.) 5 oz of wine 12 oz of beer
Your 12oz glass of wine would be more than two drinks. There is also variability in the alcohol content of beer and wine to take into account. The above assumes 5% alcohol content by volume for beer and 8% for wine. Either can be considerably higher.
If jumping to conclusions is bad science, the what do you call jumping to comments without reading the source?
The study was considerably more thorough than you indicate. They also looked at levels of decaf coffee consumption, tea consumption, and total caffeine consumption from all sources (coffee, soda, other foods). Decaf consumption had a modest effect but they couldn't exclude a chance finding (not statistically "significant"), and tea consumption had no effect. However, increased total caffeine intake computed from all dietary sources did reduce the risk of diabetes. They also accounted for other dietary and lifestyle factors that might be related to diabetes and coffee consumption or caffeine intake.
Perhaps the important lesson that the mathemetician that peterwayner knows applies to subject matter that is complicated and abstract and not to calculus.

Rare events occur every day.
For your information, there is a lot more to cancer than people think.
Example?
Example? Okay, cancer is like onions.
It stinks?
Yes! No!
Cancer makes you cry?
No!
You leave it out in the sun, it gets all brown and starts sprouting little white hairs.
No! Layers. Onions have layers. Cancer has layers. You get it? They both have layers.

Likewise speaking a word that you have only read, but never heard will make you sound equally a fool.

The article says that Einstein himself did not believe that black holes existed, but never explained why.

So follow the link to the pdf of the pre-release manuscripts, read them, and decide for yourself.
Concatenation is a reversible opertaion. I can divide your string AB into the components A and B and find collisions for either.

Isopropyl alcohol bad for the anti-glare coating on the screen.

I hope things continue to go well for him.
Figures. I get all smarty-pants about something and get it wrong. Go here instead. These people seem to know what they're talking about.

No, no, you've got it all wrong. They're going to look for the Harpoon UFO, which you can also already get here on Earth.
If there were a meltdown in a Chinese nuclear power plant would they call it The America Syndrome?

Spamitude would have been better?
Won't this work?
Maybe light is traveling at the speed of gravity instead.
