" Yes, Chernobyl was a very bad accident. But bad accidents happen all the time, and are often much, much worse than Chernobyl was. For example, Bhopal, India, makes Chernobyl pale in comparison..."
Enough for me. These people have no idea what they're talking about, and I never even got to the nuts and bolts. Zuper-duper-nutz.
Actually, the way things are going, I could see 16-BPC color being skipped over entirely in favor of floating-point color (32 BPC, but with an essentially arbitrary dynamic range). It's a fundamentally different way of approaching color spaces, rather than simply increasing resolution within a fixed 0-1 dynamic range.
"Ein" is possessive. You're saying "Coffee [something], I don't have milk, don't have sugar (not sure what 'shovar' means - black is 'shachor'). Try "l'lo" (note double lamed sound) or "b'li" for "without" - "nescafe, [l'lo|b'li] sucar o chalav".
If you want brewed coffee, it's "feelter," served with a wierd single-cup brewing contraption on top of the cup, and hence without condiments included by necessity. Not a drink to grab and run, however.
More Israeli coffee fun:
Try some "botz" (literally 'mud': coffee grounds mixed with hot water - wait for it to settle (think Guinness) anddefinitely NOT 'good to the last drop') or "cafe turki" (turkish coffee). "Cafe bedoui" (Bedouin coffee) is roasted with cardamom and tastes very different.
Oh, and if you ever want decaf, "natool caffina" is the way to say it - it took me quite a while to figure that one out.
I suggest you read up on how Lyndon Johnson got his start in politics. He did exactly that (going to Nowhere, TX to speak to 5 or 6 people many times a day) in order to get elected to congress in one of the most rural districts in Texas against fairly overwhelming odds.
And he had been in a position to run in the first place because as an asleep-at-the-wheel congressman's secretary, he had answered ALL THE MAIL, and made people who felt disenfranchised by the govt. feel like he cared. LBJ's pioneering of this technique is why you always get a pro forma reply if you write to an elected official today.
By 'hydro,' the grandparent means 'hydro-electric,' not 'hydrogen.' And hydro is extremely costly in terms of land use, water lost to evaporation, destruction of downstream ecologies (it's way more than 'fuck the fish'), etc.
Wind looks nice, as would solar likely would with some massive investment in research (how much could solar tech be advanced for the cost of the Iraq war?)
Pre-industrial revolution societies are responsible for the current climate of the middle east, which used to be green and lush (cradle of agriculture? Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Both in Iraq...).
We have both the knowledge and the tools to be a lot greener than any non-nomadic culture you can name from 300-500 years ago.
There's a couple of big problems with hydro, by the way - they're not as green as you'd think, and eventually dams silt in, making them far from long-term. And however contained the waste from a nuclear reactor is right now, the problem nobody's solved yet is how to keep it contained on time scales far longer than the history of human civilization.
Does the law make it illegal to distribute GPLed packages containing media files from servers in CA? After all, it's a restriction on redistribution, sort of...
Actually the antibiotic agents in soap and such are chemical antibiotics (i.e. chlorine, alcohol, etc.) and not antibiotic agents such as pennicilin. The bugs won't build up a defence against those until they figure out how to make armour.
It's not Nobel material. Actually there are a bunch of noble gas compunds. When Neil Bartlett synthesized the first in 1962, his paper concluded:
"It is surely not without interest that no essentially new type of bonding needs to be postulated, and that conventional theories are able to account in a semi-quantitative way for almost all known experimental facts in this interesting series of molecules. It is no exaggeration to say that in principle almost everything described in this survey could have been said thirty years ago." (The Norton History of Chemistry, 1st ed., p. 340)
In other words, it was an accomplishment of open-mindedness, not one of scientific brilliance.
That's a nice idea until you think about China, Iran, and other countries where the 'official' channels for getting email out to the world are likely to be highly restrictive. Besides, most of the spam I get is from viruses that use either a keyword list of common last names or totally random gibberish.
Considering that my domain is ranked around 1.6 millionth in traffic by Alexa, I think by extrapolation we can figure it's a huge part of the bandwidth of the internet. You don't have to take my half-assed guess as gospel either. clicky(hit the 'spam' tab after loading the page.
As for why not whitelist? I like to know who's selling my address and to be able to have disposable addresses, and I like to have an easy, reliable way to filter incoming mail based on which of several work- volunteer-, and leisure-related hats I wear and how the people contacting me got my address (business card, web form, about box, etc.)
I used to get 3000 spams a day when my email was the catchall for my domain. After adding 150 addresses (rodriguez@mydomain.com, etc.) to the killfile, it's down to 1000 spams for 0-5 legit emails. If I go out of town for a few days, Thunderbird can take up to half an hour to download and filter when I come back.
Just because your experience is that it's innocuous doesn't mean it isn't a big pain in the ass to others.

Beatles vs Apple

· Score: 1
Every single Beatles LP had a picture of an apple as the background to the center label. It most certainly was tied up with their identity.
This issue will only really be solved when we have cheap energy (probably fusion) for electrolysis (which is very inefficient, comparatively). Until then, carbon sequestration sounds like a great idea, and it can be done in a large factory for producing hydrogen from natural gas.
What about catalyzed processes like
this, that don't require huge infrastructure changes or tanks of H2 in the trunk?
They don't even support 2000 and XP. Having the audacity to share a 920 on the network scambles the screen and requires a reboot. Dell's forums are ripshit about it.
I was under the impression that it had to do with differences in how the LP record mode is implemented between brands. I've never seen a miniDV tape recorded in SP that had compatibility problems.
D-Day came significantly after the Germans were shredded in the east at Stalingrad and Kursk, and the rout of the Wermacht was most certainly not an 'offensive front' after those 2 battles.
The lend-lease program and supply convoys made a huge difference, but those were both in effect before Pearl Harbor. Although heroic, I'm not sure the French resistance had any real strategic impact on the war, so I'm not sure I follow you there.
America getting involved was certainly huge, but in no way did the US simply step in and win the war for Europe, and the Russian people (20 million of whom died during the confilct) deserve perhaps the largest share of the credit.
As for Japan, the US certainly did win that front almost singlehandedly, but the 'war-shortening' dropping of nukes was almost certainly a signal to Stalin to stay the hell out of Japan as much as they were an actual attack; as relations were already cooling to cold war levels by that point.
Given that Apple displays, last I checked, use transmitted, not reflected light, and operate in RGB rather than CMYK space, and have no dot gain or halftoning, I would suggest that SWOP certification is not worth nearly the paper your pantone chips are printed on.
Color managment for print on ANY platform is a crapshoot, much to the delight of matchprint shops and color managment snake-oil vendors everywhere.
...for a single author. Games are developed by teams these days, and an art director/editor working with several writers could fill in the game world faster.
It is most certainly NOT a holdover from DOS. Win95 was the first Microsoft OS to get its panties in a bunch over file extensions. Remember when every archive you downloaded from a BBS came with a README.DOC or README.1ST?

Yeah, those powerful elites just loved the New Deal, environmental regulations, labor laws, civil rights, regulation of stock markets, etc...
The CDC disagrees
Page 12 says ~5,250 hemophilia cases and ~9,000 transfusion cases in the USA 1982-2001.
Whew! Glad there's nothing to worry about, then.
