Why God fearing? Where does that come from? I would hope that people today would give without "fearing" God. I mean, people do not need religion to teach them what is right, correct? That is what I hear, anyway. Comments like this, however, make me very much question that statement.
By the way, people who give out of love for their fellow man are God loving. Those who are God fearing send money to the Christian Coalition and try to legislate everyone else's behavior.
X-Play has a 5 point rating system that works very much like hotels and restaurants. Their 5 means must play, not perfection. This is exactly what the author is talking about.

I'm sure many of his peers, 'actual physicists', thought he was a crackpot for trying.
Probably not as many as you think. Elementalism and alchemy were still widely accepted in his day.
Consider how much longer will Bush be in power. During that time, do you think he has the US population or Legislature willing to do such a thing as invade another country? That is the beauty of short terms and term limits.
The novelty had already worn off by Apollo 13. They were not getting network coverage until the near disaster.
You know why we went to the moon? To prove we could drop a ballistic missile on anyone's back door using ballistics technology developed from the technology captured from Germany after WWII. You know why the Chinese want to go? To prove they can do the same thing with the technology they developed from the technology they bought from Slick Willy.
Actually, you could do exactly the same thing with one Hubble at two different times if the event/object you are looking at is long lived compared to the Hubble orbital period. Of course, the article is talking about a conglomeration of radio telescopes, not optical. You can also measure distance to an object using a ground based radio telescope at two different times in the Earth's orbit.
That is what I get for not proofing.
The point of a Beowulf cluster is to group many identical machines together via TCP/IP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_cluster There is no doubt a supercomputer with a more direct connection between the processors would be more powerful and efficient...but Beowulf clusters definitely [have] it over "true supercomputing machines" [when considering price.] In the end, it all comes down to flops, regardless of the machines assembly.

Sony and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for their prudish prohibition of AO-rated titles on their consoles...
It is work mentioning that GameStop/EBGames does not carry on their website, Walmart and other retailers will not stock and Blockbuster does not rent AO titles. As far as I know, Barnes & Noble does not carry "Jugs" magazine. I do not think companies should be "ashamed" of making a conscious business decision.
These are going to cost a pretty penny for a while, but I would be willing to invest if the cost of ownership and lifetime were reasonable. They are solid state, so they should last a while. Looking at the spec sheet, there is a sulfur filter that needs to be changed every 9000 hours. How much do those cost? Also, you need a quote to get warranty information. I wonder how much service costs? Can I learn to do it myself? A second life as a fuel cell technician would definitely be a refreshing change from a software engineer. Oh, and the operating range is 0-5000ft.

I want to know, because should I be worried that he is trying to get his term limits removed, that he can currently rule by decree or that he is not renewing the license (this is the sleazy way to shut something down) of an anti-Hugo television station.
Which of these is the red light? A television station that does not think Hugo is all sunshine and roses is no longer in service for no good reason I can discover and is being replaced by a government run station. Well, except he does not like the soaps..."He called the station's soap operas "pure poison" that promote capitalism, according to AP." If a soap opera is undermining your government, maybe you should look at your government.
Hey everybody, we have something really great, but we cannot show you. We cannot even tell you any details. It is built on this amazing engine that is so amazing it is not even finished yet, so we really cannot show you anything. But it was designed and devoloped by this A-number one developer...the man is a fricken genius! Yeah, he did this awesome game you played four years ago.
moutains and mountains of data to retain. Accessing, querying, storing and getting this data will be the real challenge. Bandwidth is the issue, but will the long pole be transfering bit accross the 'net (or whatever is next) or getting bits two and from the massive data stores that TiVo like capabilities would demand?
Take fire drills, for example: are students tricked into thinking their school is burning down? No, of course not.
When I was in high school, we received the same warning for a drill as for the real thing. No one panicked, but no one was sure whether it was real or fake. Let me reiterate, high school. This was monumentally poor judgement by the teachers and the administration (I cannot imagine this was done without some administator knowing something.)
I think this exercise is worth considering, but not for sixth graders. Some thought should be taken as to student shooter situations, but recent events have been in high school and higher environments. Hear me out on this. Running this exercise in a high school would be advantageous. Teenagers think they are invincible in high school and would be more apt to go "vigilante" in this situation and try to track down a shooter. This exercise could help identify some of these lemmings.

I agree. We just replaced water cooler talk with posting on the internet. Same mundane talk, just a different spot and different people.
