Speaking of dark energy, I wonder whether [suppose
it exists indeed] dark energy does not break the
law of conservation of energy. Once I attended
a public talk by someont from Fermi Lab [sorry,
cannot recall the name] who said that dark energy
is a constant quantity [a very small number in
standard units] per volume of space. So, given that
the Universe is expanding and is being pushed
more and more this way by the dark energy, the
quantity of dark energy goes up and up, right?
So, if it has indeed the meaning of energy, there
is more and more energy in the Universe, contrary
to the law of conservation...
Sadly, after the mention public talk only very
few questions were allowed and I missed the opportunity to ask the expert in person.
I would not like to change the battery like that.
The problem is that, AFAIK, batteries fail
gradually, unlike fuel -- a old battery can
give you less ride. No parallel with tanks here,
an old tank full of fuel is as good as new.
My point is, how can you be sure that the battery you get at the "battery-station" is in top condition? If you can't
be certain, then you can only guess how far you can go with the new battery.
So, the difference is (assuming the lower figure
for gas) like 12700 for gasoline vs 121 (the
current figure for LMP). 100 times -- that is
a lot of difference! Increasing the energy density
for batteries up to 180 (and that is projected)
ain't going to change the picture much.
Further, "re-charging" the fuel tank can be done
in 2 minutes, while the batteries take... who knows, certainly hours. Further, the fuel tank can
be refilled practically infinitely many times,
while the batteries are good after only so
many re-chargings.
Easy: the Moon is much closer to the Earth.
Lunokhod was completely remotely controlled,
since it takes ~3 seconds at light speed in
both directions. OTOH, the round trip to Mars
at light speed is.. how much, 20 min? - so
the Rovers are (I think) semi-autonomous.
Don't feel so bad about not having heard
of Lunokhod. On the other side of the curtain
there was a joke that the newspapers tested their
absolutely smallest fonts when describing the American
landing on the Moon.
As far as I understood, they are
augmenting the set of symbols only
with letters from West European languages
that differ visually from the letters
in the English alphabet.
Now, suppose that Cyrillic letters are
added to the DNS in the future. Many
people say that unicode should be used,
and that implies Cyrillic too. It is
impossible to distinguish visually
Cyrillic "o" from Latin "o", yet their
Unicode codepoints are different. In other
word, you cannot be sure that the URL
containing "o" is the one you want -- it
may be one that is visually the same, yet
the codes behind it may be different. Thus
an attacker can lure people with URLs
that look properly, yet they resolve to
completely different IP addresses, namely
the attackers'.
Surface tension is the important factor for all pens, not gravity.
I cannot agree. My ballpoint pen (el cheapo
model, one with transparent body)
stops when, for instance, I have to write
something in the corridor and the only thing
to put the paper against is the wall. It takes
several sentences in this position in order to
make the ink flow uneven (I lack the word,
I mean there are interruptions) and eventually
it stops. I can restore normal operation then
by blowing air into the hole on pen's top.
I have studied little multi-value logic.
In m-valued logic:
AND is minimum.
OR is maximum.
XOR is complement modulo m
A friend of mine that was doing testing
of multi-value circuits (purely theoretical
work, of course) said that some phenomena
are seen "more clearly" when the base is
bigger than 2.
HTH.
They don't mention scramjets at all.
How do these compare, I wonder. Scramjets
only work at huge speeds, so this is a
point for the PDE.
OTOH, from general
considerations (which may be wrong, I am not
a rocket scientist) the scramjet should be
more efficient. In it there is no obstacle
to the air flow, the air only gets compressed.
With the PDEs, as far as I got from the article,
there is a wheel with holes perpendicular to
the air flow that blocks (and unblocks) the
air flow regularly.
According to a
this article
,
"Efficeon" was chosen because the former name
violated the trademarks of an animation
company, Hanna-Barbara. Strange, because these
are unrelated products.
We clicked on the link and were transported to a Web page at LWSMortgage.com, where we filled out the form with traceable, fake information and waited to see what happened to our data.
I wonder what they mean by traceable, fake information. Do you think it includes
credit card number and expiry date?
When you start the software, there is no way of printing the license without agreeing to it. To print it you must install the software. If you install the software, you agree to the license.
One thing you can do is get the court to issue a subpoena for the license and require that the company bring a copy of the license to court. Or you can ignore the problem and try your case without a printed copy of the license.
I wonder if it makes sense here to print
the screen somehow, or even take a picture of
the screen. Will it be more beneficial to
attach these pictures to your documents
for the case?
At the top of the list of new features
they have
sets.
The first paragraph says that sets are implemented
by hashtables. I wonder whether it is really
meaningless from the "practical" point of
view to implement sets with data structures
like red-black trees or Fibonacci heaps.
The advantage of the latter over hashtables is a solid bound
on the worst case running times.

seconded. I don't see what is the problem with von Neumann architecture, and the article is pretty vague about that.
I vote for Lavazza Oro.

Right!
Kroup is, AFAIK, a huge metallurgy/machine building factory of Germany. When I hear "Kroup-something" I imagine hardware, not software.

Does MAS collide with ALSA (assuming a Linux box), or it works above ALSA?
See this. It has to be related to the order to produce evidence?

Seriously, try it.
Also, in the binary case, AND and NOT (say) are a basis, any other function can be expressed in those. I dunno if that holds for m-values logic.

I posted this link under Linux Gaining Ground in India but it is worth repeating.
nice :)
redundand, I know :)
