And you're wrong, Church DID have a problem with heliocentrism (because it contradicts with the Bible). And Galileo DID suffer for his support of Copernicus. Also, don't forget that Galileo was the first to discover spots on the Sun and Jupiter's satellites (which also did not help his relations with the church).
Artists DO get paid by the ROMS, see here for example: http://www.compulenta.ru/2004/11/24/52074/ This article is in Russian (sorry), but you can see the receipt quite clearly.
Price of single broadcasted track is determined each year by an open poll conducted among artists by the ROMS. So artists DO have a way to affect the price of their songs.
Second, AllOfMp3 pays to ROMS for EACH downloaded file the same fee radio stations pay for each BROADCASTED song. Your performers can freely come and claim their share of collected money from ROMS.
I mean Linux embraces everything from pure command line distros to virtual windows clones of the windows interface. You have ubergeek distros like gentoo, and you have ones where people have spent some serious time and money making it simple, like Ubuntu and Linspire. To say nothing of Knoppix which you don't even need to install, and famously Just Works.
Alas, Linux still can't get all functionality present in Windows: cut&paste in Linux is STILL broken, OLE is nonexistant and there is nothing close in functionality to "Control panel" in Windows.
And Linux doesn't really "Just Works" if you try to do something moderately complex. For example, I can seamlessly cut a part of Visio document and insert it into Excel table, I can even edit it in-place. Now what will happen if I cut a part of Kivi presentation and insert it into AbiWord?
In Windows I can change my graphics card settings (including vendor-specific details) by using "Screen" applet in "Control Panel". How can I do it in Linux?
These very issues make Linux be "user-unfriendly", and not different user interface and menu layout.
Yes, this is exactly what happens in the Sun's core - a small percentage (0.04%) of fast nuclea is responsible for oxygen and nitrogen synthesis. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNO_cycle
You CAN find traces of fusion reaction even at 40000K, because temperature is a statistic measurement (the mean value of a bell-shaped curve). So you will always have a _small_ percentage of atoms with 10x speed (in the range of 4 millions of Kelvins) and at this temperatures fusion reactions can occur.
Of course, it's nowhere close to break-even, but nonetheless it might help in fusion reactor design.
Almost all Slavic languages (including Russian, my native language) have flexible order of words, inflections are used instead of English auxiliary verbs and pronouns.
And it's not fair to count number of forms in inflected languages, because most of the forms are generated from the word's stem with help of few grammar rules. And once you know the rules you only need to know word's stem.
Order of words in inflected languages is sometimes used as a replacement for articles (for example, there is no articeles in Russian and Polish).
There is a device called 'squid' (direct translation from Russian, I don't know how it's called in English), it's a little black box with lots of wires with clamps. It can control ignition and injectors without any help from car's electronics.
This device is used in service centers and by car hijackers:)
No, satellite phone is not a 100% reliable channel. Weather affects it too much, and on high lattitudes (e.g. Russia) it needs a large antenna.
Besides, satellites don't work sometimes if there is no active satellite in sight - this often happens during equinox when satellites are obscured by the the Earth's shadow.
Slashdot Mirror
So you're asking what was before the begining of the time itself?
Well, how about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno then?
And you're wrong, Church DID have a problem with heliocentrism (because it contradicts with the Bible). And Galileo DID suffer for his support of Copernicus. Also, don't forget that Galileo was the first to discover spots on the Sun and Jupiter's satellites (which also did not help his relations with the church).
And heliocentrism was not the only thing taken for granted by the church. For example, church supported Galenus's ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudius_Galenus ) model of human circulatory system and opposed William Harvey's model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Harvey ).
So please, throw your excelent book away and read something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei .
This is patent is not insightfull :)
s\acoustic radar\sonar
For those who doesn't speak Russian: "revun" means "roaring" or "howling".
This system was not designed to physically destroy torpedoes, but to make it lose acoustic radar lock.
Sorry, I misunderstood your first claim.

First of all, Russia IS a developed country.
Second, AllOfMp3 pays to ROMS for EACH downloaded file the same fee radio stations pay for each BROADCASTED song. Your performers can freely come and claim their share of collected money from ROMS.
Well, be prepared to buy LOTS of memory and a very FAST CPU. JS is not really suited for complex applications.
Hmm...

We (I'm Russian) lost 4 men in space disasters, and you lost 14 men.

Supercold fusion is an interesting idea
"molten lava" is a tautology, because lava is by definition a molten rock.
You CAN find traces of fusion reaction even at 40000K, because temperature is a statistic measurement (the mean value of a bell-shaped curve). So you will always have a _small_ percentage of atoms with 10x speed (in the range of 4 millions of Kelvins) and at this temperatures fusion reactions can occur.

Don't worry, Russia will happily supply China with oil.

For example, my glasses are coated (so other people can see my eyes clearly).
I don't think I'll go to a theatre where I can get retina burns.
You can control almost everything from simple VB/JS/Perl scripts using WMI (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url =/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_start_page.asp).
That's not a pure command-line, but close.

My mom doesn't speak English :)
And you're too stupid to figure out that English is not a native language for many Slashdot readers.
You mean zealot.iq?
PS: I never knew there is a word 'fanat' in English.
WinCE is not a hard realtime system. That's quite enough to exclude it from lots of mission-critical applications.
1.22 MJ is not a really large amount of energy. For example, it takes 2.2MJ to evaporate one kilogramm of water.

For example, cell-phone providers in Russia are required to provide backup capacity for 24 hours of service in case of blackout.
And it doesn't really cost that much: just about $4000 per tower (battery and diesel-generator).
