And how about explosives without nitrogen? I personally know two high explosives, which were successfully used in WWII and which doesn't contain nitrogen.
And I also know some other compounds that can serve as explosives and does not contain nitrogen or chlorine.
And I'm not a professional chemist, chemistry was just my hobby at school and high-school.
OK, so if Gitmo prisoners lose the rights granted by Geneva Conventions then they are just usual criminals and should be tried according general criminal code. I don't see it happening either.
Not much. USSR and now Russia have been conducting experiment (sorry, can't find links in English) in decommissioning a nuclear plant for 40 years now. The decommissioning does not cost much, but the building of the plant is later used to store radioactive waste and it does cost a lot. But even this cost can be greatly reduced by creating several central radioactive storage and reprocessing centers.
But it looks like that I'm not the one who thought about it first:) I've found this quote in Google: "The really successful criminals never break laws - they make them", but I can't find its attribution.
And there's also Mark Twain: "There is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress":)
Royalties are given to distribution agency (the same also one collects payments for mobile phone tunes and radio broadcasts). Artists are free to claim money from this non-profit agency.
To quote AoMP3 FAQ:
We pay Russian Licensing Societies 15% for all music. The Russian Licensing Societies will in turn pay the copyright owners, not necessarily the artists. Despite no legal requirement to do so, we are currently considering paying original performing artists 5%, regardless of who owns the copyright to the underlying work.
Can the copyright owners actually collect from Russian Licensing Societies like ROMS.
Yes. Similar to Music Licensing Societies in other countries (like ASCAP and BMI in the US), all a copyright owner needs to do is contact the Russian Licensing Societies (e.g., ROMS) and show proof that they own a copyrighted work; after which they can collect accumulated proceeds.
Sorry, I could not find the link on the original study. In any case, indirect observations (like perihelion precession of Mercury) also confirm that gravity moves at about 1c.
It has been measured, see http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0501001 . The result of this measurement - speed of gravity is between 0.8c and 1.2c, which is consistent with gravity propagating at 1c.
Yes, gravitation moves at the speed of light. That's why you get gravitomagnetic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitoelectromagnet ism) which occur
when two moving bodies gravitationally interact with each other.
So? You know, those telescopes, particle accelerators are built (and funded by taxpayers) not to allow your team to take a credit for some piece of new knowledge. They are built to advance science.
If someone can do analysis faster and cheaper than you can - let them do it.
If you built a super fine tool - you should have your bit of fame from all research done with this tool, because you really deserve it. But not releasing data to public to gain some fame from exclusive access to data - that's selfish.
1) Nuclear explosion at IBM headquarters. 2) Kinetic strike from Chinese anti-satellite system accidentally leveling IBM headquarters. 3) World War III. 4) Bill Gates as a president.
No, it's possible to use native NT API to clone process. But it's slow and error-prone.
FUSE userland doesn't really need fork(), it can do without it.
Not yet, I'm slowly rewriting parts of ext2 driver for Windows. It's in my private SVN repository and I can't figure out how to upload it to Google.Code or SF.net without losing history.
I hope to have my very own Slashdot story when I finish porting:)
Yes, I found that the hard way. Kernel-level interface for filesystems in Windows is %$#%$TY$@$&*^.
I'm not going to cover all possible cases (particularly, I don't even want to try to replicate Unix behavior with deletion of open files). My current aim is to port sshfs and zipfs.
Yes, if they don't use any Linux/Unix-specific features. User-space part of FUSE, however, will have be modified (because there's no fork() in Windows).
Release is FAAAAAAAAR away now, I expect to get something working in 3-4 months.

I love revisionist history too.
As far as I remember, weapon inspectors were allowed access even to Saddam's palace. They have not found even traces of WMD.
If USA is at war then why don't I see military law in USA? Why there's no curfew, internment of enemy's civilians?
You can argue that Gitmo prisoners are prisoners of war, then they should be given RIGHTS of war prisoners. I don't see it happening.

Actually, we can argue on what constitutes a 'direct' measurement :)
But I mostly agree with you, though I believe that it's very unlikely that gravitation will be propagating at more than 1c.
The smartest crooks do not violate laws. They MAKE them.
For 100th time...
AoMP3 PAYS about 20% of song's price to artist. That's MORE than artists get from ITMS.

Hmm... Let me see:

2) Kinetic strike from Chinese anti-satellite system accidentally leveling IBM headquarters.
3) World War III.
4) Bill Gates as a president.
Even better analogy: how about shooting all gays and lesbians who happen to visit Saudi Arabia (or Iran)?
If some poor schmoe is able to do all your multi-year work in a few days then maybe you deserve it.

No, that implies that the world was _intelligently_ designed :)
A fellow ./er told me that it's possible to use SVK to push changes from one repository to another. I'll try to do it during my next weekend.
Well, there's http://code.google.com/p/coplandppc/wiki/FuseHfsCo de so it may be possible one day.
