One thing I have often wondered is if an object moves fast enough, could its relativistic mass become so large that it would look like a black hole relative to a laboratory frame?
How do they really know it was because of the supoena that Google stock dropped. Did they take a poll of investors? The NYSE dropped 213 points yesterday. A lot of stocks went down in value.
I never have understood how the media can always declare with certainty that a particular event caused a stock or stock market to react a certain way.
How Ruby fits in for my work.

I work as a java developer, but I still still have plenty of other languages in my toolbox. I have just started with experimenting with Ruby. The biggest thing I see is that Ruby fills gap for me between perl and Beanshell. The programming hierarchy I tend to think of for my work, 1. Shell- Basic scripting. Glueing commands together. 2. Perl- More powerful sripting features, but not really OO. 3. Ruby- Still a scripting language, but designed around OO. 4. BeanShell- Good for quick glueing of java classes together 5. Java- When I need a full compiled application environment.
For me each language has its purpose and I use them where it best gets the job done.
The places I have worked at and turned in a two week notice, it is usually a 2 week scramble to document everything I did and get some poor unqualified individual up to speed. On the last day I make sure that the new person in charge either disables all accounts I had access to or make sure that they changed the passwords. You want to eliminate any possibility of doubt if something goes wrong after you leave. So while their actions may be seem extreme, it really is for your protection as much as it is for theirs. I would not take it so personally.
Maybe there could be a program where an individual could get one for $200. One machine for yourself and one to be donated to a child. I would gladly pay $200 to get my hand on one of these little laptops.
There are ways he could keep his mind stimulated intellectually while giving his social skills an opportunity to develop.
Just because he is going to college at age 8 does not mean he can not have a bit of a social life with others his own age. There is no need for him to even take a full college load.
There could be plenty of time for other extracurricular activies such as baseball, soccer, music lessons or other activities that have nothing to do with your ability to explain Schroedingers equation.
1. What if the invention you worked so hard on and try to patent was classified when someone else tried to patent it. You obviously could not do a patent search. Do you just lose all your time and money. 2. What if you did not patent an invention that was previously patented and classified and start selling a product based on it. Again there is no way you could have known ahead of time the idea was patented. 3. What if the invention you tried to patent gets classified only to discover later that another company outside the US independently discovers and patents your same idea and starts selling a product based on the same idea.
Also just as annoying or amusing is when I do searches and get google ads to find bessel functions on ebay, quarks at pricegrabber or other irrelevant nonsense.
Unfortunately there is not a publicly accessible webcast of the race like last year. I was quite disappointed at that. Still it is amazing how well the race is going this year. I hope there will be more races with greater challenges.
A lot of plastics I see tend to get brittle and disentigrate when exposed UV from the sun. How well does polyethylene hold up when bombarded by radiation in space. You may not die by radiation, but you may die because your spaceship popped.
The knowledge EULA. You may only use the knowledge in this work for a limited amount of time. After said time all memories must be deleted. This is most easily accomplished by consuming large quantities of alcohol. Failure to comply will result in forcible removal by lobotomy.
They may have the ability to launch the missiles, but based on previous mishaps I have to wonder if they would have ever reached their destination anyway.
I have three monitors. It is even more fun to stretch the google maps page across all three monitors while in satellite mode. The extra viewing area makes browsing around the satellite imagery even more fun.
Can't wait for those wall projectors to come down even more in price.
I just switched to using three 19 inch lcd displays. Between displays and two video cards(one dual and one single) I have about $1400 into my setup. I am sure I could have gotten the price down a few hundred less than that if I had shopped around.
Going with multiple monitors is well worth it.
I am not sure if you have used multiple monitors, but I just recently started using them and am a total believer. Unless all you use your machine for is browsing and email, then even having two monitors can be useful.
I do more than browse and currently run three monitors and wish I could add another three. As lcd prices come down I plan on adding more. So the more GPU's I can stuff into a machine the better.

According to this article Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Cisco will have to account for their actionsin China.
I hope they get a good thrashing as well.

I never really thought of bones as a fuel. I wonder what kind of interesting pollutants burning calcium in your engine produces.

Not mention saving all those instructions from execution.

From the videos I have seen of this thing flying, I think
screaming banshee would be a better description.
I think you would get fewer complaints from the neighbors
if you spent your millions on a helicopter or a Harrier
jump jet.
After which came my favorite one liner of the series.
River looks at Kaylee hiding in the corner and says
"Nothing in the 'verse can stop me"
First Scientist: Hey! You got nanotubes in my diamonds! Second Scientist: Hey! You got diamonds in my nanotubes!

Sounds like a an anti-satellite platform to me.

Never of course. They are taking the google approach that everything is perpetually in beta testing.
I watched this from Netflix a few months back.
I think my favorite line was:
"Why are we attcking you? Because you're a bunch of idiots!"

Being in the US all I hear about are fundamentalist Christian groups having issues with evolution.
Do faiths such as Islam, Buddhism, or others have similar objections about evolution.
