No, it isn't. Just because it may mentions some historical facts and such no more makes it a historical text than Ann Rices "Interview with a Vampire" is because it talks about 19th century New Orleans. Lots of fiction writing has some basis and/or congruance with reality.
No, I believe he had a restraing order against him under California civil code 527.6. He violated the restraining order. That is what got him aix month sentence.
Here's the thing. If the people submitting to Exxon/Mobil are submitting made up bullshit then it shouldn't withstand review and become a laughingstock. If nothing else, that should help to strengthen the human derived global warming stance.
From where I stand though, it looks like both sides are playing fast and loose with the science to date. I guess I'll go read the new report and see if it says anything new.
Well, I just looked at a few of the free reviews, and they use bias in the statistical sense which is not the same as the lack of impartiality which is implied up thread. Bias has multiple meanings.
Are you sure that isn't 72 regularly scheduled work hours? For your "average" 8 hour a day schmuck, that would be 9 work days which is just about that mystical 2 weeks. Allowing you to quit on a monday and leave on the friday 2 weeks hence and still get your accrued vacation.
Well, since many motherboards also supply your network and video IDs then a MB swap changes quite a few "major components" as far as XPs key checker is concerned.
Well, that's three presentations/impressions per person for each ad. Just because he is a greedy slashvertising asshole doesn't meant that he is a total moron. He is smart enough to know impressions mean money, at least for him if not his advertisers.
However there are still a lot of people out there that think that every piece of marketing material whether its legitimate or not should be treated as spam and the person sending it should be hung out on a noose.
If they send me something, even in good faith, for a commercial endevour without my consent and foreknowledge, it is spam. I don't give a shit how honest they are. If I want your services I will come looking for you, otherwise stop using the bandwith that I paid for for your attempted profit.
p.s. There is nothing hpocritical about not wanting unsolicited advertisements in a capitalistic society. As soon as they make their unsolicited advertisements a source of profit for me I'll care about that. Till then they need to understand that if I'm looking for a longer schlong I'll come looking for their services and they should wow me then, not piss me off before I want their services.
Damn, you beat me to it AC. Beowolf is an architecture of using a server node to manage (usually) multiple processing nodes to "maximize the speed" of processing using commodity HARDWARE, There is no particular "Beowolf" software.
Yes I would want them to correct the situation. By taking the correct action. The action they took was not the correct action. Very simple. And by they I mean bothe MySpace and GoDaddy.
Why? For a family of four that is 1.5 to two hours a day per person. Wow, that is just NUTS! Who in their right mind would watch 2 hours of television a day. I mean, like 30min of local news, 30 min of national news, Mythbusters, and then Good Eats while I'm cooking and I've wasted my life. God, those other 5 hours a day that I'm neither working, sleeping, or comuting are totally negated by those two hours of TV on average. Oh the shame of wasting my life doing those things I enjoy.
Well, if you don't want to risk the outage get a private network set up. Shouldn't be that expensive.;)
Since most net servers are Window or Linux and most routers are made by two or so vendors there will be exposures that take out lots of infrastructure in the future, just like in the past. Even if they have a fix in ten minutes it will take days to get the patches out and applied due to the complexity of getting the patches out without a well functioning public network. "Crap, someone has pwned the Cisco routers, dial them up for the patches."
It didn't, but the electricity is no longer available as a source of potential energy to do work with. It has had its state changed. It has become light and heat and vibration and warped rails.
If the railgun is 33% efficient then to get an 8 megajoule shot they have to put in 24 megawatts of electricity (this is a hideously simplified and rough bit of extrapolation) since a watt is the expression of one joule per second. The other 16 megawatts of electricity are not available for use later because they have, for the most part, become heat due to entropy in the system. If they put more energy in the system they would just get a higher energy shot and more heat.
Now, if you had another railgun at the other end to catch the shot you could convert the kinetic energy back to electricity in your storage system, but you would still suffer the same entropy catching as shooting, so would only get 2.65 megawatts out. Oh, and no boom.
Well, because we are talking meteorologists, not climatologists. If an orthopedic surgeon says they are not up to speed on neuropathy, but doesn't think that the accepeted wisdom on how nerves can spontaniousy regenerate, as he understands it, is correct, should he be barred from fixing someones leg?
The big steel rails will most likely be red fucking hot from the shot. I understand inductance just fine. I understand electromotive force and magnetic flux well enough. They still don't give you free energy that you can use for another shot down the line. So you build a hellacious gigagauss field in the inductor(rails) and when the electricity turns off it takes a few microseconds for the field to collapse. During those few microseconds there is potential. While pretty massive on the "I dare you to touch it with your tongue" scale, it will be miniscule in comparison to the megajoules of energy for the shot and will disipate as heat soon enough.
If you want two shots for guns serial in sequence you need enough capacitors to store the energy for two shots plus the additional resistance of having a really hot conductor (the first fired rail gun) to get the power to the second. Serial simutanious and parallel also offer their pluses and minuses. Mostly minuses. I'm assuming that increased conductor temps in the serial shots don't increase resistance in conductors in your world either.
High temp superconductors for everyone!
p.s. My 5th grade son was able to quote the laws of conservation to me. They word it a bit diferently now than 30 years ago, but the gist is the same.
Nope, not even close, but lots of what is not kinetic energy will be waste heat not electricity. If you want to put enough electricity for two shots you would need to double your initial energy. If the energy doesn't go to waste heat or kinetic energy for the warhead where does it go?
Not getting this, are you? You shoot it up at a very steep angle, sort of like a howitzer. It clears the atmosphere fairly quickly losing some of its kinetic energy. it coasts through its trajectory and comes back down where it grinds through the atmosphere losing a bit more, but retaining a good amount since I'm betting the projectiles will be extremely aerodynamic, sort of like the rods in the old proposed Thor satellites. At that point it impacts and destroys things transfering most of the kinetic energy to waste heat.
Conservation of energy doesn't exist in your world? Here where I live when you transfer the electrical energy to kinetic energy to launch the warhead the electricty is no longer available for use since it is now kinetic energy in the warhead.

I do believe that you are confuling Oddworld with La-La Land.

Here, let me fix that up for you a bit. I believe you meant...
Why emacs sucks even more than nano.
If Kirk, Picard, and Sisko were locked in a room with a bomb would you want any of them to survive?
Why every Doctor except John Pertwee sucked balls.
If we bricked up all the exits from the Capitol and came back in 6 months who would have eaten whom?
Also, ultra-cricket is for panzies. I say we go for a double elimination Russian Roulette tourney.

You do know that meteorologists are not climatologists?
Well, the last I heard, the Sun WON'T explode in the future. Not massive enough, so your "truth" isn't.
Now, now. No logic allowed. This is an emotional argument.

Well, they do make this... http://gt-mhr.ga.com/
They also make high energy capacitors for nucelar aplications and those are most likely where the railgun tech grew out of.
