Saying that something is spinning in the classical sense imputes an angular momentum on the object. But the quantum of angular momentum has different units than the quantum of spin. Hence, quantum spin is fundamentally different from classical spin. And this is one of the rationales that has been argued for decades for why quantum spin should be given another name.
Don't be rhetorical. It was obvious that I mean the several professional astronomers whom you have heard from on this discussion board.
The management of NASA are political appointies and they do what they are told by their political chain of command. And don't play dumb; you must know that this is true.
I've read all your comments on this discussion. The only "little close-minded person" has been you.
You have been unable to accept your own errors and have been backed into the unsupportable position that Hubble isn't worth the money. That is your opinion. There are countless well-informed people saying the opposite.
Do you think it is just a coincidence that you have your facts wrong and also disagree with those people who have the correct facts. Having had your ignorance repeatedly shown to you during these discussions, why can you not consider the possibility that you are also ignorant of the cost/benefit of the Hubble. Tell me, what is it like to be so deeply caught up in your own cognitive dissonance?
The comma follows the word "comet." It is traditional to assume that a phrase, which follows a comma, refers to the word immediately preceding the comma. Hence the author means that the comet is 3 miles wide - which is true. The editor did not consider this ambiguous, as anyone with a basic understanding of English grammar should follow the author's intent. Perhaps the moderators have marked this as funny because they think you are being ironic. That or they believe your ignorance is funny.
BTW, does 14erCleaner refer to your age. If so then I can certainly understand your confusion on this issue. You are simply too young to know what you are talking about.
large short to float ratio will cause high instability. it makes the market ripe for short squeezes. It is possible that a great many people who are short SCOX will lose their shirts even as the company collapses. The markets are an unfriendly beast.
It is hardly surprising that social promotion works for the individual child be promoted. But this is only half the story. Where is the data showing that the other 90% of children are better off having the derilicts in their classes. You show me a study with this effect and I'll show you an author of a study who doesn't understand basic statistical analysis.
It is a cold perspective I suppose, but I believe quite strongly that what is in the best interest of the 10% may be irrelivent if it is sufficiently damaging to the other 90%. And in NYC schools, this does in fact seem to be the case. I've yet to find a single teacher in NYC who thought that social promortion was anything less than a severe distraction for the remaining students.

I had an identical experience from about the same number of caffeine pills. At the time, I rarely drank anything caffeinated so I had no tolerance. It was without a doubt the most miserable experience of my life; nothing else comes close.
The year prior, I had suffered from alcohol poisoning, which is basically the same experience except you are going in and out of consciousness; while with caffeine you are unfortunately very sober.
I would agree except for that 24hours/day part. Who plays the piano that much? Now if you were at the piano 8 hours a day 7 days a week (or 56 hours per week), then this would only cost ~$100/year - less than the $150/year for twice a year professional tuning.
Yup, the parent also mistakenly attributed the 2006 launch to marketing decisions on the part of Sony. Oh please! Anyone who has been following the drive to next gen consoles knows that Sony is using an new IBM chip and cannot get the PS3 out the door until the cell chip is production ready. IBM wanted to have it ready for 2005. Wwhat is interesting about the article is that a guy in the position to know, pretty much stated that IBM is behind schedule on the Cell chip. Hence Xbox is going to get the first mover advantage this time around.
"The simplest assumption would be that there is far more mad cow in the system than anyone wants to say"
This is stupid. The *simplest* assumption is that there is no mad cow in the system, and to assume that the above is an insane conspiracy theory. Perhaps the fact that there is no known mad cow in the system holds less weight with you than it should.
Inflamatory, perhaps. Stupid... who made you the bearer of all knowledge?
If one downer has Mad Cow Disease out of the 20,500 downers tested and there were 200,000 (estimate cited by our government) to 1,000,000 downers (estimate cited by non-industry sources) in the same year, then it doesn't take a degree in math to see that it is probable that there were many missed cases. The expected number of such missed cases is between 10-50, however with only a single reported case the uncertainties are quite large. Nevertheless, the public should be alarmed by the implications of 50-250 tons of infected beef having been already consumed by Americans.
First, the cell phone manufacturers have money to burn and believe that there is a competitive advantage to having bells and whistles in their products. So long as customers continue to prove them right, we will see increasingly inappropriate hardware and software being placed into the cell phone.br>
Second, this is about ATI wanting to be in a good position to negotiate with Nintendo for their next generation of handheld game players. ATI believes that if they do not have a succesful embedded 3D chip offering they will have a difficult time landing the future and highly lucrative Nintendo contract.
Interesting, if I read this thread correctly, you are implying that Mr. Gore is dimmer than President Bush.
If dimness refers to success then there can be no doubt that you are correct. But then selection bias has ensured this and makes it irrelevent. If dimness refers to intellegence, then you are deeply misinformed. Aside from partisan fools, no one seriously thinks that President Bush is a dunce... far from it, he is clearly a clever and intelligent man. However, he is not in the same league as Mr. Gore. Can you honestly imagine President Bush giving university lectures?
I had a friend go through the exact same experience when he was in finishing grad school. One of the smartest and most honest people I know. He failed the lie detector twice on the same set of questions. They just simply couldn't believe that he had never ever experimented with drugs.
That would be true for an L4 or L5 station, but a L1 station is in unstable equilibrium and thus requires corrective boosts (though much less so than LOE). I believe the decay time for Earth-Luna L1 is on the order of a few weeks.

Cognitive dissonance must really stress you out.

Whoo hoo, my first troll modifier, how exciting. I never would've guessed that stating the truth was trolling... It was the sarcasm wasn't it?
You might want to look up this little concept called Quantum Mechanics. It disagrees with what you just said. But them, perhaps QM is wrong.
Check your algebra. You are off by three orders of maginitude. So everywhere you wrote km per frame change that to m per frame.
Interesting statistic.
One which does not hold if you happen to live, as I do, in NYC (for us, you were twice as likely to die in 2001 from heart disease as from terrorism.)
But for the average american it is a waste of energy to worry over terrorism.
Their margin of error would be approx:
0.51/(10,000^0.5) = +/- 0.51%

I'lll add another reason salt water plumbing cannot work. One word... corrosion. Can you imagine how frequently the system would have to be repaired.
damn straight!
Xbox is using the G5 which is already in production.
