I really doubt that the New York Times did any real research to discover them. So I am going to assume they did some form of press release listing the group's makeup. Which is why a large chunk of the article was a listing of their names as apposed to what type of research they do.
I really doubt that the New York Times did any real research to discover them. So I am going to assume they did some form of press release listing the group's makeup. Which is why a large chunk of the article was a listing of their names as apposed to what type of research they do. It sounds like the reporter looked at a press release made 4 or 5 phone calls got a few quotes and wrote the whole thing up. Anyway,
The administration's policies on energy and global warming prompted Dr. Osheroff to take part. "I am not a Democrat and I have never played a significant role in politics," he said. "We must begin to address climate change now. To do so, we must have an administration that listens to the scientific community, not one that manipulates and minimizes scientific input."
are the words of a scientist talking about science and science policy now I don't know what other credentials you would want before calling someone legitimate but I feel he has a better background to access such things than any politician or policy maker. I mean it's not like there the first group saying these things so I think there more after convincing a small group of people who might listen to them than the world at large.
They are a grass roots organization of scientists who have watched the Whitehouse tamper with scientific findings to fulfill their agenda and are sick of it. If they where a political organization then they would be building websites and such but these people have better things to do so they make a statement get some press coverage and move on. I mean there 527 people spending less than 2000$ per person on travel expences I think there self funded and don't feel it's worth it to put up a website.
My mother's boss got repeated phone calls aimed at suppressing her research because her research directly contradicted several tenets of leave no child left behind. The problem with objective scientific research is it frequently conflicts with current policy decisions. However, due to it's objective nature that can't spin it so they keep trying to suppress it.
Most 100% government activities are fairly efficient to start out. They don't innovate and they tend to be taken to the cleaners when they higher contractors but the government tends to be more efficient than mixing the two until innovation via competition wins.
I think that's a good idea for high level radioactive waste say the main pile at chernobyl but there is little point dumping mid to low level contaminates say all the top soil within 30 miles of chernobyl.
O and it's a lot easer and safer to hit jupiter than the sun.
I don't know what level of radioactive waste they're dealing with but from what I understand of the process unless the materials don't break down from radiation I don't see how this is possible. The basic problem is while you can make bulletproof glass that can withstand say 2 clips say an AK-47 it's much harder to make glass that can take 2 clips a day for 50 years let alone 200,000 years. Now if they are dealing with low-level ratio active waste then it's not an issue you just force the substance to withstand 200,000 times the level of radiation it's dealing with for a year and then test how it's doing. But with really nasty stuff you "can't" make it 200,000 times as bad so there is no way to test what's going to happen.
Personally, if I where going to ignore cost and not thought the stuff into space. I would use vitrification and then place the waste in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Start with digging a hole down to bedrock then cover that with your vitrified waste. Then cover the waste with several interlocking layers of rock slabs. I would chose some natural stone that's lighter than the material your storing so is your containment system fails the weight of you shielding does not force the waste thought the cracks in your containment system. say 3 feet thick and 15 wide and 40 long. Then weave them so you have a mesh. That's 60 feet thick. Then cover that with 10 to 20 feet of sand / gravel mix and be done with it. You are not going to get 100% containment for 200,000 years but if you design something aim for releasing less than 1 / 200,000 of your contaminate each year over the next 200,000 years and you have a viable solution.
Hmm, using the leftovers from fertility treatments that are sitting in a jar at well below freezing is like killing a developing embryo. Now if you want to limit stem cell research to cells not aborted for that purpose fine but doctors use dead people in med school all the time. That does not mean doctors higher people to kill people it just means that they use dead bodies. Abortion is legal and will continue to be so with or without stem cell research. So where is the overlap?
Ahh yes terror. Let's see 9/11 killed 1 in 800,000 Americans and people feel the need to suddenly change their worldview.
I guess such people also feel "No Child Left Behind" or "Let no child get ahead" as most educators call it is a great idea. What such people fail to realize is spending $ to fight a war which gains nothing is much less important than fixing the US highway system. I live 5 miles from work and it takes me 30 minuets to get home most nights. That's a huge economic drain that someone with vision could deal with.
Instead of destabilizing the Middle East by spending billions of dollars and a 1000+ lives to over through a petty dictator let's make America a Nation where we deal with the source of economic problems not just there symptoms. Instead of talking about sending a few tourists to mars let's spend 50 BILLION a year each and every year on get fustian and get working power plants in the next 20 or 30 years. Leadership is choosing to improve the situation it has nothing to do with looking good or saying the right thing and has everything to do with having the balls deal with problems and make the situation better for the next guy to hold office.
1st off just send it via nuke sub. After all they already have the security to keep people from taking the nukes so you add little risk.
2nd I know 10kg of plutonium is not that large as it's basically as heavy as led. But your not going to ship it all in one container it's much much safer to ship in several containers than one large pile.
My problem with market speak is it get's dated vary quickly.
I know what max rez 1600x1200@85hz is and what going to 1600x1200@100hz does but WTF dos XVGA mean and is it better or worse than SVGA?
Is that geforce 4 MX better or worse than a geforece 3? (worse) How about Radion 9800 vs X800?
Now with CPU's we got a simple number that has some meaning within a product line 3.0Ghz vs 3.2Ghz? But what do I do when I want to pick up a TV? I now have HD vs non HD, projection vs flat screen, analog vs Digital, 720P and or 1080i. And they want me to know that ColorStream means what now? Look TV's are boxes give me a size / shape, resolution(s), and then show me the picture quality tell me a price and leave me the fuck alone.
PS: Don't fuck with the settings I am going to reset them to base anyway and doing so just annoys me.
NO I said BOTH transmistions. So A wants to talk to B. C get's in the middle. So A is talking TO C. And C decodes the messages And THEN C reincrips the transmistion and sends it on to B.
Think of it this way If A hand B the key then you need to use that key but if A hands you the key thinking your B then you can send some other key to B. As long as you are just retransmiting the data there is no way for C to know you are not A and there is no way for A to know your not C. OK signal takes longer to get through but if your ping is 200MS all the time then how do you know it should be 200MS or 100MS?
With Quantum encription you KNOW the key is only known by one person but you don't know who that person is. The isue is not that the system is easy or hard to hack but rather if you think it can't be hacked and it can your going to leave other holes open that you could fix.
Almost true you can give each system a slightly larger piece of the simulation and run it for longer. and then cut out the edges of the simulation.
Let's say you had a room will 100,000 bouncing balls.
If each system knows about a cube of size 10ft then tell need to talk to each other all the time. But if they know about a cube of size 20 then figure out what's going on inside of the size 10 cube untill an object out size of the cube of size 20 would have had the chance to move into the size 10 cube. Yes you run into a lot of wasted computation but you can balance Latency bandwith ram and computing speed to some extent.
But, your still going to waste a TUN of computation time waiting on the latency.
I don't know the US state capitals or who is in chage of them becouse such information is useless to me. Ditto for the name of any given tropical cyclone that's on the way. Hell unless it's snowing M-F I am still going to work so 5 out of 7 days I don't care if the sun is shining.
But, DAMM I can code like a god. Now if I could learn the names of the leader of every state in Africa or COBAL which is going to be more usefull in 6 months? Or hell how about 10 years? Shure learning something like SQL may seem pointless but it's saved me a lot more time than it cost me so I think of it a worth while vs learning the names of each state the USSR transformed into.
Why? I can understand not wanting to depend on other contries but if we operated within 70% of our needs then we could reduce meet production and still feed everyone should an isue arise. I think stabilty is best served by storing 2-3 years worth of food thus giving us time to deal with any problems should they arise.
There is little need for the US to grow food excess food. Let the 3rd world do so and at 1$/hour phase out small farmers in the US. I would much rather the US keep 2-3 years of food on hand at all times and let prices ride up and down a little than waste all that cash on small farmers. Hell you could burn the 3year old food for energy or use it in school lunces and still end up ahead.
Masters Degree in Literature is useless to most company's. I don't care if you can read at the 9th grade level just hand the guy correct change and you can sell coffie ect ect. Hell if the guy was smart he would have left that out of the resume if he is selling books and has a college degree then I fear he is going to get a better job and quit before the college kid needs the job.
You don't need to hack the transmission to hack the computer at the other end. Which is the goal sniffing the network is just one of many ways to hack the device. And the least used now that most people use switches let alone encripted tunnels.
Sorry that's the idea but I can still use a man in the middle attack I just need to intercept both transmistions.
AKA you send me 100 bits I tell you the 50 bit's I saw mean while I send sam 100 bits and sam tells me the 50 bits sam saw. Then I send data from you to sam and back while keeping a copy of everything or even changing the data sent to each person. Sam says move 100,000$ from act 100 to 123 and I tell you move 100,000$ from act 100 to 437. And then send sam the ack signal on the transfer while spoofing it so sam thinks everything is OK.
Sorry but that's wrong.

Hackers don't sniff out data over the network we explot security holes at the end points. If your link uses 2048 bit RSA encription I will leave it alone and hack your webserver just the same. Now as to seting up a private network that could be usefull but you can still use a man in the middle atack vs a quantum encrypted network just takes the same hardware you are using to send the data.
More like 91,800 you need to add quotes around the words or they may have been used difrently. O and if a phrase is used 100,000 times it's ok to use (chances ar your meaning is clear) which is the whole point.
To simplyfy: The guy who would have made 135k but made 125k and the guy who would have made 125k down to 115k ect ect.
Also as a market if they are paying you 135k then they may have gone up to 140k after looking for a while and not finding anyone. Forcing everyone else to raise their rates till somone else in college desides to become an engineer and fill in the gap at 45k job's. Over time price and suply go up as price goes up. Also if your sending money home the US economy is lost that capital which hirt's the US economy. Not saying go home but some people would be better off if you had stayed home. Not the person(s) who own you company but the workers lost out.
