The only dark side of the moon is the inside, and that's not very good for astronomy.
A crater near the lunar axis might have the advantage of always being in shade, but until the moon is populated it's more practical to have a telescope in earth orbit. It's easier to service there.
The aqueous vapor pressure over water (i.e. 100% humidity) is 4.579 mmHg @ 0 C, 92.51 @ 50 C, and 760 @ 100 C. I don't know what this implies in practice, but my impression is that a strongly self-moderating function results.
China currently survives on about 1/4 farmed acre per person, and what they do hardly qualifies as modern intensive agriculture. Simple energy calculations will show you that plants capable of turning 1% of sunlight into calories would require only 30 square meters, 8 hours a day, to power the average human. That's less than 1/100th of an acre.
Further, a well-designed touch screen user interface is accessible to people with vision and motor skill deficiencies that would exclude them from voting with a paper ballot."
I am aware of no place in the U.S. where help is not available to a person who asks for it. Granted, your ballot isn't secret any more, but in all likelihood the person helping really doesn't care that much and won't remember anyway.
Stockholders have almost zero control over the day-to-day operation of a corporation; and this lack of practical control properly leads to a lack of moral and legal responsibility. The managers of a company have the control and thus the moral and legal responsibility. For a stockholder to be criminally liable for actions over which they have no control is the height of injustice.
It takes extraordinary incompetence or malice for a CEO to incite a stockholder revolt, and it's usually the stockholders who are hurt by bad corporate actions.
In CAD work - particularly large area integrated circuits - the more image area that can be cached on the graphics card, the larger the area that can be panned over without re-rendering the image. Re-rendering the image requires re-reading and processing the whole database. It's no fun to try to extend a line beyond the edge currently on-screen only to see the screen go black for 20 minutes while a new image is drawn. Expensive engineering time is wasted in re-rendering, and the engineer becomes less happy with his job.
If it makes a difference, payback is only a few months.
Alas, the last time I read a software EULA it said, in essence, that there was no guarantee that the product had any usefulness whatsoever. Competitive pressures prevent other industries from behaving in this shameful manner.
"Just breaking up MS into an OS company and an Apps company will stop their lock-in practices and allow for competition again. But that's a capitalist solution..."
And having KFC pour money into the community hurts how? Not everyone is poor; the non-poor may buy food there. A few of the poor will get jobs there, thereby becoming not poor.

So, given the high population density, all those people in New Orleans repaired the damage quickly, right? No? What does that say about the quality of the people in New Orleans?
Disasters have been traditionally handled at the state, county, city, neighborhood, and personal level. This isn't and shouldn't be the job of the federal government. Massive, mind-boggling corruption and incompetence at the state and local levels intensified this disaster. This is a political problem, and the failure is the politics of dependency.
One of the best measures for stock price is "trailing PEG", (Price/Earnings)/(Percentage_Annual_Earnings_Growt h). A figure of about 1.0 is generally considered fairly valued for a company that is growing at least moderately. Google's current trailing PEG is 0.85, so by this measure they are 15% undervalued.
This concept contains a hidden assumption that the company can maintain its current growth rate for at least 3 years. Since Google has announced publicly that the growth rate is going to fall (which should have been obvious to everyone) they are selling at a discount by this measure.
Many companies, particularly smaller ones and stocks in volatile industries, do not provide guidance or provide only limited guidance. The more they tell, the more likely they are too be sued when they miss estimates, "safe harbor" statements notwithstanding. Many companies even refuse to give historical information on individual divisions or product lines, considering that keeping this information private is a competitive advantage.
It shouldn't be too difficult to detect or defeat a keylogger. While off-line, pipe huge amounts of random data through the software that handles the keyboard. Look for a file that grows. Even if the file is of fixed length, flooding it with random data makes monitoring too labor-intensive to be practical.
The success of a keylogger depends upon the user being clueless. Of course, if he's running Microsoft...
Thanks for the info, I wondered where they put the digital signal. Essentially this means that a station broadcasting both analog and digital on the same center frequency will be guaranteed to put out low fidelity analog, with the analog cut off at 3 kHz and receivers with a wideband response getting lots of noise from the digital signal.
Although AM stations are limited to a nominal +/- 5 kHz modulation, I read an interview with a broadcast engineer a number of years ago who said that he just broadcast the whole audio spectrum. There's a good potential for hifi if the signal is strong and free of interference. The add-in digital signal thoroughly ruins that.
Current carrying capacity is important mostly for supply rails. In high complexity digital chips, the supply current mostly is routed on the highest metal layers, which are thicker than the layers near the transistors. These high layers are often almost completely dedicated to power distribution, so the lines can be quite wide.

It's been well known for at least 10 years that the various MPEG formats are covered by patents and that AT&T was one of the developers. It would be hard for any serious developer to have avoided that fact. It would have been dishonest for any commercial developer not to seek (and pay for) legal permission to use MPEG.

Aluminum is a poor choice. The surface oxidizes quickly, and aluminum oxide is not conductive. Tin oxide is conductive.

What part of "capitalist" do you not understand?
