So yes, US has moved away from MIRV because they've moved away from ICBMs. It's all cruise missiles now. Each aircraft carrier has enough nukes onboard to flatted a significant part of this planet.
This is fascinating stuff, but not entirely supported your links:
After the end of the Cold War, plans called for Ohio to be retired in 2002, followed by three of her sisters. However, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia instead were slated for modification, to remain in service carrying conventionally-armed guided missiles, and were designated SSGNs.
A number of the original ALCMs equipped with the Mod 1 later had their warheads removed in order to use them with conventional explosives (the CALCM conversion), and under START II only 400 ACMs would retain their warheads and the rest would be removed, apparently with all remaining ALCMs converted to CALCMs and their warheads removed to the "inactive stockpile". With the fall of the START II treaty it is not clear what the current plans are, but it is highly likely they will take place as originally planned in order to remove the ALCM from service. Mod 0 armed Tomahawks are currently stored onshore, but there are/were plans to make this the primary US Navy nuclear weapon.
Still beats giving American citizenship to nazis who otherwise should have been hung in Nuremberg like you people did.
Are you referring to Wernher von Braun? Is it your conclusion that we should have executed him, and that we would have save for his utility to NASA, putting men on the moon, and establishing out nuclear ICBM deterrent? If he met the standard for death, millions of other Germans would have merited the same, and a post war holocaust against Germany would have been condign. That's rather sick, but the lust for revenge is never sated.
The Supreme Court affirmed Hamilton's point of view both in Helvering vs Davis and Steward Machine Company vs Davis. The Supreme Court's view is that Congress is entitled to an expansive definition of "general welfare," and may seek to promote it through many means, including its prodigious taxing and spending power.
My pathetic, deluded friend, you should have learned this in middle school. What is going on in your screwed up country that so few understand their own laws and government? Granted, I did well in American history, but I still expect AMERICANS to know SOMETHING about it.
The constitution specifies one of the duties of government as promoting the general welfare. However, I shouldn't expect a constitutional literalist to understand something like that, should I?
That's stupid. Putting your facility lighting into your data network?... There are many reasons software engineers aren't real, licensed engineers, and this is one of them.
Presumably the installation is up to code and includes backup lighting, as is required for commercial buildings. But keep up the good work!
I wish it did. I've tried reading various programming books on my Kindle DX, but the reader application crashes often. Even plain text crashes the reader application regularly. In my experience, only books from the official store are safe.
I think PDF rendering often requires more memory than the DX has. Plain text can have odd unicode OCR artifacts; I suspect that this is what horks the reader when it fails to render plain text, since plain text rendering really ought to work...
There's been a major controversy going on the last two weeks about Google withholding the source code to Honeycomb... Yet if you visit Slashdot, not a word of any of this has been mentioned
Try again. Slashdot has more important things to do than conform to your agenda. Deal with it.
Why would 1500 watts be required? 12.5 amps at 120v would compromise a small heating element, and if that were sufficiently robust, it would soon melt the mirror. Of course, there's a solution: include a 50c power supply. Additionally, maintenance would be reduced.

Is Apple requiring 3rd party applications running on the iPad to give Apple 30% of the sales price of ebooks and magazines made through the application?
Or, is Apple requiring 3d party applications running on the iPad to redirect attempted purchases of ebooks and magazines to Apple's ebook store?
In addition to one of these two, is Apple requiring that 3rd party applications capable of reading ebooks and magazines purchased outside of the application to also make in-app purchase available? (eg a Kindle book bought on the Amazon store and delivered to the Kindle iPad app)
Unified memory architecture is an elegant thing, but it does require storing the framebuffer in main memory. At 1920x1080 with 32-bit color, the framebuffer is close to 64MiB. This will typically be refreshed at 60Hz, requiring 3.7GiB/s of memory bandwidth. That is quite a lot of bandwidth to be consuming 100% of the time. Incidentally, I recall that on my old SGI O2 R10k, it surprised me to find that algorithms touching only the CPU and memory ran a third slower at maximum resolution vs at 800x600. This was not a happy discovery given that the machine cost $19,995 and was meant to excel at graphics.
I realize that Intel GMA is not meant to excel at anything at all save for ripping some additional cash from my hand, but there's no need to integrate brain damaged graphics or wireless to achieve this. I would gladly pay for additional L3 cache or another CPU core or two.
Microsoft already has the money you payed for Windows 7, so there's no reason to invest any more money in Windows 7 unless it is so buggy that you'll avoid the next version.
However, it's not as if this is the first Microsoft OS you've used. Knowing that the previous iterations had glaring bugs, you still bought this version of Windows. Everyone is in this boat - Microsoft owns the desktop market and has for some time.
All that aside, I do find it odd that MS continues to invest so much in research that never bears fruit for them. Why bother when their only successes come from appropriating and integrating the ideas of others? Microsoft has been "researching" pen computing and touch technology for at least 15 years, and yet they can't hope to compete with the iPad unless they throw out their work and crib from Apple. The existing MS work is a sunk investment that they are clearly having difficulty abandoning.
MS would be much better off keeping the focus on their competitors and forgetting their own delusions of inventiveness and creativity.
Large OO Perl systems tend to be complex, slow sacred cows into which people who should have known better invest their careers. Arguing for total replacement of old VB applications is easy, but there is always great reluctance to rip out Perl messes. Only a desperate or foolish person would want to accept an invitation to someone else's Perl horror show.
Once the people responsible for the Perl disaster leave, it will be easy to find people interested in engineering something that isn't rubbish.
Just as the home PC market was switched from the 9x codebase to Windows XP (i.e. NT 5.1), the mobile market could be likewise switched to NT, finally unifying all three markets [norton.com] (home, professional, and mobile) under one codebase. Microsoft might even be able to pull it off if it includes a subsystem for running CE apps, much like wowexec on 32-bit NT or wow64 on 64-bit NT.
This fellow just opened the pinata in one deft strike. Well done.
Assange had grown despondent that his dating profile hadn't generated much attention. However, for some unknown reason, it's now a topic of discussion worldwide amongst women who all agree with each other that he is a douche. Of course, many of these women proceed to privately email him nude pictures and lewd proposals. Assange is reportedly happy to be out on bail and is having the time of his life.

They stole everything, but, "beyond that, however, it appears information disclosed was limited."
correction:
Chambers is right that flip *never* meshed with Cisco's core business (of charging eye-popping markup).
Intriguing.... Are revenue/expense numbers for the flip dept publicly available?

The GPU on sandy bridge consumes die area approximately equivalent to two CPU cores.
