I don't know - some parts of Texas are still that way...
Some PARTS??? I live here (OK live is to strong of a word for what I do in Taxus - especially in the summer) and I think it is all parts - except maybe downtown Austin
There is still no agreed on explaination for why the moon appears bigger when it's on the horizon than when it's high in the night sky."
Take your hand and put it out arms length and use your thumb ot measure the diameter. Try this with the moon at Zeneth and at the horizen. It is the same size. The only difference is that on the horizen, you have something to compare it against. Hence it is all optical illusion.
So how is this news, much less interesting? (Unless you never go outside....)
Why not only buy from sellers with a good number of positive feedback?
Because the way eBay is set up IF YOU LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK the seller can ban you from buying from them. (It happened to me with Sears on eBay! - After I had bought a number of items from them with all positive feedbacks, they sent me a broken item and then treated me like dirt, so I complained in my feedback - Based on my very bad experience, I won't even go to the local Sears store anymore.) This makes it such that you can not trust the eBay 'ratings'. This a fundamental problem with eBay.
"Of the auction site, where he got his start, Mr. Wieber says: "Too many sellers, not enough buyers.""
one has to wonder why. I won't shop at eBay any more because eBay is happy to protect bad sellers and they don't seem to give a @#$# about buyers. It is not an even marketplace. I don't see the same problem at Google or Amazon. There is some balance. At eBay I had a problem with a seller and the reply from eBay was 'so what'. I had a problem with a seller at Amazon and they (Amazon) intervened and got the problem fixed - to everyone's satisfaction.
My turbo pumps spin at about 25,000 RPM and they are made from Al. Of course if you spin them in air, they become toast - or rather bits of Al potato chips. These Turbo pumps (or turbomolecular pumps) are used to pull vacuum to about 10E-10 Atmosphere and sometimes lower. Look at www.varianinc.com in the pump area.... So a disk could spin at 25000 if you put in a good vacuum rough pump.
Look the longest Nanotube is about 2 mm. (I've seen them and know the student making them.) Nanotube fibers are made but they are tough to do. The amount of MWNT (the easy stuff!) made in the US is small. There is no way to make a massive amount of the stuff. Certainly not the amount needed for an 'elevator'. Now let's consider the minor factoid that you will have to drop something heavier than you are lifting. (Or at least of similar mass.) I have single word that this space elevator project does not consider - physics
You mean like how Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and George W Bush have registered something like 10,000 day passes to read the New York Times, Salon, etc. online?
OK so it was me instead. I also make Bill Gates read and dwonload from the M$ website
Ok so they get your IP when you download a PDF and now they want it whenever you read it as well..... which means that you need to be on the web to read it. No thanks. Paper looks better and better
but Michael Gorman seems like he has something shoved up his sphicter. Blogs are not created for producing highbrow english texts anymore than surrealist painting is for portaits..... Each is a form of human expression and should be examined under that light
I have had enough problems with ebray that I will not buy from there. Did you know that if you camplain, the seller can block you from buying again. It happened to me. I purchased something (a Sabre saw) from the Sears eBray store that was sent broken. (Physically in two pieces - and it was not caused by the shipper! Also it was the 3rd or 4th thing I had bought from them.) They treated me like dirt and it took a long time for them to agree to take it back - so of course I gave them a negative feedback. A few months later, I tried to buy something else from them and I was blocked. The reply was that they did it because I gave negative feedback. - Thus the feedback ratings are at best a sham. The real funny thing is that I went into my local Sears and bought a better similar item on sale for less.
Shuttle also hides the SN25P's 5.25" drive bay behind a stealthy door, keeping beige optical drives from scarring the system's otherwise attractive face. The spring-loaded door opens and closes automatically under the force of the optical drive tray.
Like this is a huge deal? Other highlights includes multiple slams of the Intel CPU. I could go on but so what? With the exception of the 64 bit CPU this seems to be a 4 year old computer. I mean look at the bus speeds Bus speeds
CPU: 200-250MHz in 1MHz increments
DRAM: 100, 133, 166, 200MHz
Don't hold your breath. Liquid Lithimum limiters on ITER? Hell anything that takes 100 PhDs to run can never be run for a profit (Unless you are Princeton!) I remember one time when a disruption occurred in TFTR (Princeton's old Tokamak) it tore a huge chunk of the wall off and flung it across the system - where it blew up and scattered garbage all over the system. No, stick to fission for power - if you must use fusion - use sun light.
I can remember sitting in a meeting (just listening) on a future Sematech roadmap... I remember the discussion about the dopant levels in gates at the end of the roadmap and I did a quick calculation of the number of B atoms required.... It was 3. 2 would not work nor would 4. (This is indivudual atoms of B not density etc) I was amazed. (I think that the node was the second one past 45 nm - which should be about 20 nm - I don't remember.) Now we seem to have someone saying that we can live with the 30%+ error...... Sounds more like trusting a drunk to give you directions home.

For those of you like me
a bill of attainder is
Definition: A legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial.
The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 provides that: "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law will be passed."
Yeah and now mod this reply as off topic - (redundant maybe I'll buy that) - still a waste of mod points

Mac OS X Tiger v10.4
or from the apple webstore
Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger"
note that 10.3 is really: Mac OS X Panther Version 10.3
At least that is what is on my box for Panther

'.doc' is open? As in M$'s .doc format????? Are you kidding? or just wrong? (I have a guess but please do answer)

Just think what you could do with some mini HDs A couple of 40 G iPods? - think of the music then!

Read the flip'n article. They keep slamming the Intel chip in other systems made by the same company. - and yes, the bus speeds are not that good.

While the radiation is a problem - the chemical issues with Pu are almost worse. The stuff is more poisonous than Arsenic
Yes this is on topic! (This is why the gate does not open the source drain channel uniformally. God it is going to be fun teaching devices then!)
