I had the androids construct a perfect replica of Stella so that I could gaze upon her and rejoice in her absence. Gentlemen, attend. Stella, dear. Mm, Harcourt. Harcourt Fenton Mudd, what have you been up to? Nothing good, I'm sure. Well, let me tell you, you lazy, good-for-nothing -- Shut up. nothing... thing... thing... Marvelous, isn't it? I finally have the last word with her
Smaller states will always appear to be crucial to the outcome when they are not. The correct way to have viewed this problem would be to determine the changed outcome based on % of total vote in a state which must be changed and how that would modifiy the electoral outcome. Saying one needs to change 15K votes in say, Deleware where it amounts to >5% swing is to claim a very unlikely outcome. Far more likely is the swing of 1/2 or 1% of votes, even if that amounts to more votes in nominal vote terms.
After the failure last year of a magnet assembly provided by Fermilab the powers that be at CERN decided to forgoe a lot of the very low power testing that should have been done, instead chosing to meet an artificial schedule. Bad move and if they have any brains they would now revert back to the original plans once they restart.
The odds were that if Fermilab had in fact produced the Higgs the data analysis would show this before CERN could file their own discovery so there really is nothing to race against- either Fermi has the data or they dont.
ah.. because this is not a democracy? The US is a constitutional republic. From wiki: Constitutional Republics are a deliberate attempt to diminish the threat of mobocracy thereby protecting dissenting individuals and minority groups from the tyranny of the majority by placing theoretical checks on the power of the majority of the population.
So you are saying the Dems don't give a rats about you and are just lackeys for the (insert industry here) ? I'm shocked.. I never would have thought this before 2006. I thought the Dems were the good guys and the Reps were the evil ones?
Ive used black with as few icons as possible on desktop as possible... I find that any other colors are too bright and photos of any kind wig my eyes out with eye strain... the only desktop paper I've been able to use at all is the social d background... but most of it is black;)
Agreed. And its quite amusing reading some of the hysterical diatribes on here about old COBOL systems.
So we are to believe that the system has no mechanism to give overtime or expense pay or a bonus? That solves the 'back pay' issue.
Are we to believe that there is no mechanism to change the paygrade of an employee from say, one hourly wage to another? Or from hourly to salaried? From one grade to another?
This is a crock and is being used as an excuse to prevent the pay cut. Ahrnold should can the person in charge yesterday.
You do not understand the diffrence between 'printing' and typesetting. One example would be the word first. WYSIWYG = a dot over the i Typset = no dot
LaTex can be arcane. I am no longer a frequent user of LaTex (not in a job which requires that level of output) but I did use it last fall to make a CMYK door hanger for a political campaign by hacking a poster document class. The output to the printer was so good I got an email back saying it was the best they had received for such work. And that is the advantage of Tex, warts and all.
So before trying to write your own from scratch, check around and you might find one that is close enough that you can just make a few minor changes and get what you need.
it noticed less spam too, but ymmv. I do like search by category section as well as the use of the bar at the top for related items (whether they come up seems to depend on the search term). It does seem like they need more servers.
I'll second the Landau Mechanics book which is very concise and goes right into lagrangian formalism which takes other books hundreds of pages. CAUTION: there are a *lot* of crappy copies of this book. Try your best to get one of the original hard covers, I think it was first printed around 1961.
I would strongly suggest getting the basics under your belt first - mechanics and E&M before going onto quantum mechanics. As far QM, I think Morrisons Understanding Quantum Phyics A User Guide is by far the best intro/mid-level QM book and will get you through many of the trickier points. In E&M I've heard a few good things about Franklins Classical Electromagnetism but haven't used it myself. Once you are all past that you may need some nuclear under your belt - the two tomes by Feshbach and Shalit are classics and still relevant though Wong is probably the way to go for a quick spin.
Assuming they hold true to this: "will allow school board officials to "approve supplemental classroom materials specifically for the critique of scientific theories" such as evolution and global warming." then I see this as a good thing.
Why? How long do you think it will take for most kids to see the folly in the 'intelligent design' theories when compared to the widely accepted evolution theory? By putting them side by side this will only serve to hasten, not slow, the demise of alternative theories of evolution.
As to global warming, having grown up during 'the ice age is coming!' era, perhaps a dose of critique of the global warming industry is in order to seperate the hype and highly speculative claims from fact and reasonable interpretation. Unlike evolution which has had a solid body of evidence for 150 years, global theories of climate have been all over the map during just the past 40 years - seemingly seeking the most extreme interpretation of the data at hand at that time.
But I really do think people protest too much - kids are not as stupid as you think.
What does Vista or the planned Win 7 do that XP doesn't that 99% of the users really need/want? My personal opinion is that we've lost the original intent of 'OS' and now it has become the kitchen sink do all be all, needed or not. Outside of a business server environment, what half-knowing user leaves on all the services shipped enabled? What percent of people turn off or reduce the eye candy because they find it annoying, distracting or just a resource hog?
One could say similar things about recent linux distributions, though at least the kernel itself is reconfigurable to remove most things that are unnecessary.
Ha.. dude..you need to get a grip if you don't think your boy Osama doesn't have some problem stances. Let's just take this week - FISA. Oh yeah.. Dem's for civil liberties, Osama's gonna save us from the big bad Cheney. No immunity for telecoms! Right. "I'm voting for it anyway".
Will you also object when Obama's voting record from his days as state senator get detailed? Oh wait.. he was only 'present'. And that church stuff.. a gift that keeps on giving no matter how many times he backs the campaign bus over the preacher(s).
It goes on and on but just remember, *you're* the one who wants to bring the "truth" to the masses by googlebomb.
what makes you believe they will be 'telling the truth'. They can use what ever they want, fact fiction or anything else. Hopefully then you won't be uspet if there is a googlebomb for articles claiming Obama is a muslim? I mean some people believe that is 'truth' therefore it should be available to everyone searching for Obama right?
If it weren't so sad it would be funny.. that I can still make
prints with negatives my grandparents took at the turn of the century..that would be 1900 for the youngsters. Even home movies my parents took are still playable. Granted, home movie quality was never that great to start with back then but it has held up pretty well (ignoring that noisy projector).
And yet stuff I took with a digital camera 8 years ago is in danger of either media failure or format failure. And does anyone feel comfortable with just one copy?
The shoebox with all the family negatives seems way more reliable.
The Dems (and you) talk a good game... and forget to play.
If the Dems were serious about stopping the abuses they
would have been 232-1 NAY. But they were not.
Oh and by the way... no piece of legislation moves through
the House without the approval of who.... oh the DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP.
How about the presumption of innocence? Now if your reported revenues do not at least match you will be hauled into court or the irs. Even though the person reporting your transactions may have erred. Who do you think will pay the costs for this misadeventure? The card companies? Will the govt reimburse you?

I had the androids construct a perfect replica of Stella ... thing ... thing ...
so that I could gaze upon her
and rejoice in her absence.
Gentlemen, attend.
Stella, dear.
Mm, Harcourt.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd, what have you been up to?
Nothing good, I'm sure.
Well, let me tell you,
you lazy, good-for-nothing --
Shut up.
nothing
Marvelous, isn't it?
I finally have the last word with her
the correct statement is: E^2=m^2c^4 + p^2c^2
was the original .. with the skull/crossbones icon. Now its all too easy and happy looking.

Clearly you have never used or know what TeX is or you would not have suggested using OO or anything similar.
(La)TeX = typesetting 'language' which produces output suitable for immediate publication in journal or book
word processor = suitable for office or casual use only
it noticed less spam too, but ymmv. I do like search by category section as well as the use of the bar at the top for related items (whether they come up seems to depend on the search term). It does seem like they need more servers.

and most scandinavians speak english
Hmmmm.. theres the VLA, the VLBA .. SKA on the way and many
other radio scopes/arrays. Sometimes one has to let go.
And I might add I would prefer to see funding restored to Iter than Aricebo.
