An earlier article in EETimes about two weeks ago mentioned that this design is about half as fast as an equivalent clocked design. Sorry, I don't have a link. It uses a lot less power, however.
... them Günther Krings, the Christian Democrat legal affairs spokesman, who claimed: 'There should be no legal distinction between stealing chewing gum from a shop and performing an illegal download.'"
I'm sorry, but I just don't think they're quite the same. An illegal download doesn't prevent the 'owner' from benefiting from the origninal. Whereas when you steal a physical object, it does. If I steal a loaf of bread from you, you no longer have that loaf of bread to eat. If I copy the recipie for making that bread without your permission, it does you no harm (unless, possibly, you're the proprieter of a bakery.)
I'm not claiming that illegal downloads are morally ok, just that its not quite the same thing as stealing a physical object.
If we're going to move toward reusable rockets (which could be a very good idea) at a gradual pace (which the Shuttle program has proved is a good idea), the way to start is from the bottom up.
If anything, the shuttle program has proven that reusiable spacecraft are a bad idea. They're not cost effective. Maybe like you say, resusing the lower stage would work out ok.
Here's a link to the wikipedia article about the cosmic microwave background radiation, including some history. Now this was predicted by George Gamow, way back the first half of the last century. This topic has an interesting history and I've read a book or too about it, including one by one of the Physicists involved (Smoot).
The grandparent posits a belief in a fundamentalist interpretation of the creation story in the Bible. Does this creation belief allow you to make any usable predictions? I doubt it. Its a useless theory, especially when it is not supported by any evidence other than the fact that we, and the universe exist. But when we get to looking at the details, we find that the bibilical creation story is inconsistent with our observations.
Back in the 1960's some cosmologists (Physicists) still held out hope for a steady state universe theory. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation and its spectrum
closed that door. I remember reading articles in science news as these discoveries were coming to light.
Now this microwave radiation is extremely consistent no matter what direction you look in the sky. But the theories indicated that for galaxies and clusters of galaxies to form, there had to be some variation in this radiation. Finally, the COBE satellite was able to detect this variation and mapped it . More recently other satellites have provided more details to this background radiation.
Did creation theory predict that we would observe variations in cosmic microwave background radiation? Nope. Hell it couldn't even predict that there was such a thing. That creation theory is a pretty weak theory if you ask me.
For those who hold literally to the story in Genesis, you should question your motive for continued belief in young earth creationism. What purpose does it serve? Are you afraid of questioning what your church authorities tell you? It's impossible to take the Bible totally literally. It contains internal inconsitencies (it contradicts itself on certain things). Some portion of it, therefore cannot be taken as
the literal truth. The question now is, what should be taken as the literal truth, and what should be taken figuratively.
Concerning the observations supporting the Big Bang theory (and inflation) and a 14x10^9 year old universe,

we tend to categorize people by their looks. Japanese and Chinese are all small, and this must be because of their genes, right?
No, it's because of their diet. The distinguishing oriental characteristics are slanted eye shape and color, and "yellow" skin tone. Just like the distinguishing african characteristics are "brown" skin and a particular facial characteritics, and the distinguishing "Caucaisan" characterisics are (again) skin tone and face shape.
Sorry that's just not true. Genes do play an important factor in determining height. Take the people of NE Netherlands. The average hieght of males in the region is over 6 feet. Native peoples of South America tended to be quite short. Diet does play a factor, but genes are more important.
Cars don't emit carbon. They emit carbon dioxide (and water vapor). Big difference. Carbon is one of the elements. It comes in several forms, including charcoal, graphite, and diamond. Carbon dioxide is a molecule, a colorless odorless gas.
Carbon is not a greenhous gas. Carbon dioxide is, as is methane (from cow farts).
The population problem will correct itself when people start dying of starvation and disease (medicine won't be affordable, as people will be struggling just to buy food).

You mean like how Intel constructed their C++ compiler to produce slower code for AMD chips than their own Pentium chips?
And the same thing couldn't happen in a large organization, like microsoft?

So how is this different than say, dropping a rock?

They weren't 'noodles', they were spaghetti. There's a difference. (Eggs are generally an ingredient in noodles, not in spagetti.)
No, it's because of their diet. The distinguishing oriental characteristics are slanted eye shape and color, and "yellow" skin tone.

That's about the same percentage of dangerous traffic that's on the road on Friday and Saturday nights.
That explains why they consider cows sacred over there. No cows, no fuel. No fuel, no fire. No fire, no cooked rice for food.

Starting salaries, Yes. Salaries of the 'better than most' with 5 years of experience? No.
Yes, the pay looks good right out of college, but five years out, your still
a lot better off in business.

I sure hope Samsung didn't send Igor to steal the brain. He would have taken the one labelled A.B. Normal.
You mean maybe like a $2 million prize for building an autonomous vehicle that can travel over 100 miles over rough desert terrain?
My parents were like that too.
Now they're thinking I'll take care of them in their old age.
They can think again.
