By the way, Israel has no problems bombing Beirut because there are "terrorists" somewhere in the city. Why Arabs can't do exactly the same? There are valid military targets in most of Israel cities, after all.
Also, you must take into account that Lebanon's rockets have no guidance systems, so it's impossible to target them perfectly. So civilian casualities are just "collateral damage". UK and USA used this excuse many times (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_firebombing for example).
Yes of course, all 1000 civilian casualities in Lebanon were dug up from fresh graves. And Israel's airstrikes have nothing to do with it.
I readily admit that SOME (but very few) dead bodies could be brought from graves. But you must be an idiot if you beleive that such photoes make a significiant enough part.
Do the math yourself if you don't believe me. A dead body will be hopelessly spoiled in Asian climate in 3-4 days. And Muslims must bury their dead within 24 hours, so dead bodies can't just lay in refrigirators. You just won't have enough of fresh bodies to stage results of Israel raids.
But of course, you can say that arabs deliberately blow themselves up.
Me too. I need ~5Tb storage for my film and music collection, but I can't find a good solution.
Plain PC with Linux doesn't suit me because there are only 3 or 4 ATA controllers on a typical motherboard. Additional RAID controllers help but not much.
AoE solution allows to install literally dozens of cheap disks in a cheap gigabit switch.
Price on AoE should go down - electronics in AoE controller should cost no more than $20-$30.
You can use Ethernet-based multipath IO, a lot of switches can be stacked to provide redundancy (and load-ballancing).
AoE is a COOL thing exactly because it's a 'dumb' technology. You can buy a switch, a bunch of disk drives and AoE adapters, a small Linux PC - and your storage system is ready. There is a lot of existing RAID manipulation and monitoring tools for Linux, so RAID configuration is not a problem.
You also can boot from SAN, it's not a problem. Just add required modules and configs to initrd and place it on a USB drive.
I love Erlang, but this style of programming doesn't work well in all applications.
For example, if you have a big complex interlinked datastructure (a complex mesh in 3D-modelling application) then you are in trouble. Because when you need to modify one node of a mesh you'll have to copy the whole object graph.
You need a temperature differential, not just a high temperature. I see that one can use water from a river/lake/sea in which case this device might very handy.
But in most places such device will be less effective then solar panels (which are not limited by the Carnot cycle, BTW).
This turbine can't be very efficient. Efficiency of any heat engine is limited by the Carnot cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle).
Basically, you can estimate it with this formula: e=(T2-T1)/T1 where T2 is the highest temperature of the working body and T1 is the lowest temperature. For such a small temperature drop as in this engine we'll get a very minuscule efficiency.
You can 'burn' (oxidise) almost anything. For example, you can burn (and even explode) aluminium dust. Potassium (and other alkali metals) will readily burn in air (actually, it can spontaneous combust from direct sunlight).
When you burn CO (carbon monoxide) you actually 'burn' carbon in it - CO becomes CO2.
You forget the wind speeds - they are much faster than on the Earth (because of much smaller atmosphere viscosity), so dust particles and flying stones can do much more damage.
Yes, doctors need a good background on eveything. They don't need to be able to do everything.
And it doesn't take 16 years to get a fairly good background. Four years should be enough to learn the basic course and then three or four years of practice under supervision (i.e. apprenticeship) in a chosen specialization.
Of course, high-risk specialization doctors like surgeons or home doctors need more education and practice.
Presentation does not require much of logic. Most of it can be expressed with simple custom tags (supported by JSP 2.0):
<c:if cond="mycondition">
blah-blah
<c:else>
blah
</c:if>
Besides, you can get smart autocomplete and error checking in your favorite editor for custom tags.
Yes, sometimes you'll need to use Java scriptlets. But if you have to do it only once for 10-20 pages then this is not a big problem.
Well, yes it's exactly the case. The other country *MAY* extradite the murdrerer, but it depends on the other country's laws and willingness to cooperate.

You see, USA and Israel have no problems attacking civilian targets.
Well, d/m/y is used in: ...
- Lots of European countries.
- Russia
- Japan
- China
- South Korea

Nope, MCSE is Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert.

But in most places such device will be less effective then solar panels (which are not limited by the Carnot cycle, BTW).
The only problem: you'll need a lot of these devices to generate usable amount of energy.

Well, if you don't like the simple answer you can always put your eyes out!
Mars 3 landed in the middle of a dust storm so it was literally blown away, that's why it only transmitted for 20 seconds.
As for "little too bold", read about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod missons.
Besides, we've managed (I'm a Russian) a landing on Venus.
BTW, dermatologist doing a heart surgery was an exaggregation. You know, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
One of my parents is a doctor.

Certainly, dermatologist need no to be able to read EKG - cardiologist should do this after EKG is taken.
I still don't see why dermatologist must be able to perform heart surgery.
Yes, there's a standing joke between physicists that LHC means "Last Hadron Collider".
Just use UTF-8. It's a 8-bit Unicode encoding and it works quite OK with Ruby.

No,no.

Well, my I personally know some Russian artists. They do get paid (not much, though) from radio broadcasts.
Well, yes it's exactly the case. The other country *MAY* extradite the murdrerer, but it depends on the other country's laws and willingness to cooperate.
Yes, artists get paid, each download from AOMP3 is classified as a radio broadcast.
