Looks like vaporware to me. They've not tested anything but a small engine, as far as I could tell (not the current iteration of the company). The legacy efforts they're basing this on... it's too heavy based on what I saw.
There might be other issues here. At my university I was required to use certain software packages for various classes which did not have a linux version and would not run under Wine.
I don't care how "similar" or "equivalent" the linux version of the software package is, if the prof. says you must use Mathcad, then you're going to need a Windows machine. (note, this was just an example. Other situations may apply).
Barring stupidity, which is likely to occur at some point, if the universities program says they support Windows and Mac, then it's likely you'll be able to find software for both platforms that satisfies the course requirements. What the coursework will require, this should be your guiding force.
brown paper is not a gun case. It's a (pathetic) attempt at concealment. Wrapped in brown paper it would probably still look like a gun, wrapped in brown paper. If you're going to carry a rifle, carry it properly, or put it in a case.
but nobody seriously carries a gun around to shoot cans with
I used to do exactly this. Cans make good cheap targets since they're around 3" x 5". That was good practice for the other use for guns which I practice, hunting.
Depends on how he's carrying it. He could be coming back from hunting. Or from the range. He could be taking it to a gunsmith. If he's brandishing, then I'd be concerned. If he carried it onto school property, or somewhere like that where it is explicitly illegal, it would raise a red flag. If it's slung across his back or he's carrying it by the handle (which it had) and the clip was removed (safety 1st), then I wouldn't care.
In some countries, any weapon that has been issued for use by a military or police force, is illegal for a civilian to own. Some countries ban civilian ownership of a 9mm handgun, for example, because it's the standard issue handgun in their military. But civilians can own a.380 or any other "non-military issue" caliber.
coal plants are not allowed to release "soot" and besides, soot is unburned fuel! The coal plant near me has mechanical and electrostatic scrubbers to remove the particulates; and, chemical scrubbers to remove the sulpher dioxide.
My God, you're Right! We should be following a scorched Earth policy. Cut food production (because turning the earth releases CO2 and methane, growing food releases methane and fertilizer releases nitrous oxides). Shut down the power plants. No more chemical plants, metal smelting or mining (because they're all inherently bad). Mass genocide. It's so clear to me now!
actually, the correct way to do this is to push an asteroid into an orbit that swings close by Earth every few years. Earth then picks up a tiny bit of energy on every pass from the asteroid via the gravitational interaction. You have to put the engine(s) on the asteroid so as to correct it's orbit every pass, since it loses an equal amount of energy.
You're right, they wrote what is essentially a compilation (with a tweak here, an adjustment there...) Some of the stuff that came before them was quite good too.
If that's true, that will just be something to be worked out in the contract details... Universal owns the movie rights, Disney owns the character rights, I see a simple sharing of profits there.
Disney was around at that time. They've been slaughtering Grimm's Tales since 1923. (Trust me, Grimms Fairy Tales are much better in their original form...)
It's a bureaucratic one. I made a conscious decision not to get my Ph.D. When I looked at the Ph.D candidates and post-docs I was working with, and looked at the cost (time, money, sanity), the payoff, for me, wasn't there. This makes me no less likely to be able to add to a research program, any more than having the piece of paper would guarantee I could make a valuable addition. Not having it does, however, make it harder to get the job.
your bandwidth cost might be kind of high too. The attempt at sending a ping via RFC1149 (2001?)resulted in close to a 50% packet loss. Throwing away 50% of the memory sticks could get quite expensive.
He was also responsible for the X-33; he's been in charge of a big budget program that was shut down before. I'm guessing he can see the writing on the wall.

Good. Maybe they'll shut the site down and I can get certain people in my household to get their butt out of said chair.
So, you've fallen for the Gillette propaganda, have you...

If you say so.

I'd be more worried if he wrapped it in brown paper than if he was carrying it openly slung across his shoulder / back.

Wouldn't such a gun... be classified as a war weapon and therefore be forbidden
There is no such limitation in the U.S. Certain types of weapons (a full auto carbine, for example) require licenses.
except some carriers require a TWO year contract; so, that becomes:
60*24 + 100 = 1540
20*24 + 600 = 1080
Definitely better off buying the phone outright
I seem to recall that the exhaust temperature was cool enough that the liquid cooling water was returned to the river.

I'm feeling sarcastic today

This... might be a good thing.

you put the long chain hydrocarbons, post processing, into a diesel fuel tank. Then you put the ash into concrete as filler.
