We stand for women's rights. Is that why the party continually tries to repress their right to control their reproductive choices? Without this choice, women won't be able to be in a situation to make other choices.
We stand for educational freedom Somehow passing a bill that dictates more beurocracy for the schools while failing to provide funding for the additional efforts required to meet these requirements (No kid left behind)does little to promote education. And, by the way, those kids in Catholic schools are quite likely the children of upper class Republicans, as I'm sure statistics will show.
We stand for the end of Government tyranny in the private industry Translation: We support opression of working class by big business. No way should heads of big business be accountable for their actions. Let people work 80 hrs/week just to put a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. Let's turn the U.S. into a third world nation with a two class society!
You say you don't want to tax people to death. You forgot to qualify that the people you were talking about are only the wealthy people. According to republican views, they for sure shouldn't be taxed. That's why theres no social security taxes on unearned income from dividends and interest (which is where the wealthy get their money). And, of course, inheritance taxes, you can't let the children of the rich class fall out of that class by having to pay taxes on that $100 million of inheritance. Then they'ld have to work, which would mean they'ld be paying S.S. taxes. Oh, and by the way, they want to get rid of income taxes on dividends as well (can't have the rich class pay any taxes, remember). Quite frankly, people should read Ralph Nadar's views on taxation. he has some very interesting ideas and insights.
Now I agree that the amount below which there wasn't inheritance tax needed to be increased, so that children of small businesses and farms (that actively run them) won't lose those businesses and farms because of inheritance taxes. But to completely eliminate the tax is unnecessary.
The question is not, "does this change the temperature," but, "is the change big enough to cause other changes that we do not want?
Good point. I'm sure that drawing cold water out will thin this layer during summer months, as the warmer waters settle downward to take the place of the colder water removed. But I suspect that over the course of a full year, there won't be too much effect, as the cold winters will take care of chilling the lake back down and replenishing the cold water.
Yep. 95 F at 10% humidity is more comfortable than 85F at 90% humidity. With the high humidity in the midwest and east coast, you can't compare temps directly with western US. Even so, many (if not most) office buildings are excessively cooled. At some places I've worked, I kept a sweater in my office to put on during work in order to be comfortable, the temperature was so fricken cold. These offices don't need to be chilled to 70F. 78F would be just fine. Most homes I've been in keep their thermostats set at a more reasonable level.
Correct. But they would be useful for storing executables and other programs which don't change frequently. Consider the possibility of using flash as some sort of mappable virtual memory. To use a program, you map the flash on which the program resides into the addressable memory space of the cpu, instead of copying the contents of the flash into main memory.
Quite true. The only way you get decent salary increases is to get yourself decent job offers from another company, an threaten to leave the current company (being actually prepared to do so) if they don't provide the salary you ask. You have to have them by the balls, so to speak, if you ever want to get ahead.
The former V.P. of one company is probably regretting her decsision several years ago of not promoting me to architect. The architect she assigned to the project messed up and the project failed in a rather spectacular manner. The product performed miserably compared to competition, due to flawed architecture. At the time the architecutre was proposed, I had stated that it would perform poorly and the project would fail if that were the case, and proposed an alternate solution to avoid the problems. Suffice it to say, that company is today, a much, much smaller company, holding on by the threads.
well, I think one has AMD written on the package and the other has intel written on it, so they're definitely not identical. - or were you talking electrically or in terms of timing and logic?
I read somewhere today that Intel engineers have developed a new compound to use for the insulating layer on the gates, to replace SiO2. This was said to reduce the leakage currents and allow finer lithograph. IIRC the article said they were planning to start using it for 55 nm lithography.
The comparison with M$ is pretty bogus if you ask me. Back then, IBM owned the PC business and M$ supplied the OS for IBM and the rest of the industry. IBM certainly is not the only player these days in the PC business, and there are certainly other alternatives to its mainframs.
Sun's buying Novell would surely be good for Novell shareholders, but as far as being good for Sun, that

Saturn 3 (I had to google up the name).
Its about two people (played by Fawcett & Kirk Douglas) that are stationed on a remote research post. A disassembled robot (with a human brain) is sent to the station along with a specially selected trainer. The trainer puts the robot together and starts training it. Problems ensue with the robot so it is dismantled. The robot reassembles itself,
Big problems.
Farrah is really hot in this circa 1980 film.

Have engineering applications been ported to OS X yet? - Possibly, but since Mac's have traditionally been viewed as being for graphics artists, and not engineering, i doubt that many engineering apps are yet supported on OS X.
The article mentioned that a lot of the engineers now have both a sun and a X86 box sitting alongside each other. Maybe they're thinking they can replace two with one X86 box that dual boots linux and windows. They'ld then be ridding themselves of a bunch of boxes, saving money in support, and power bills. 10K boxes would use a lot of power themselves, and would be increasing the air conditioning bill.
Chances are that the engineers would be mosly using the Linux. Its not hard for software companies to add Linux support to an app that already probably runs on HP-UX and Solaris and other Unix variants. I'm sure most of those companies have already done so.
Even so, this article about Lockheed-Martin switching appears to be quite speculative. I know someone who works at L-M, and maybe they'ld be able to verify it or deny it.
We're in a very interesting time for particle physics.
As you mentioned, there's been a lot of interesting developments in experimental physics in the last decade or so. A lot of observations which are poorly explained, or incompletely explained by current theory. I suspect that some major advancements in the theory will be taking place in the next decade or two, possibly at last reconciling Einstein's gravitational theory with quantum mechanics.
-btw I suppose I should start using a spell checker more often, if there's one on my machine still in existence.
I thought that 'celer' was just a misspelling of 'cellar'. You know - to invoke thoughts that the performance of this chip is in the cellar, below everything else.
Murder 2 also includes killing a person while acting in a manner that is likely to cause someones death, whether intentional or not.
For instance, by Minnesota law, if you're driving while drunk, and a police officer sees and is in persuit, and you accidentally run into someone and kill them, it's second degree murder, not manslaughter.

Yes, but it will refer to other patents that will be issued later as prior art.

No, keeping it in your pocket doesn't help. You have to put it on the little pope before having sex.
It was a very, very slow news day. They had to dig up some old news, and by posting the article a third time, they created new news.

That hasn't stopped SCO from doing something foolish like this before.

They're waiting to Linux to get firmly established in this marketplace. (Or maybe they're thinking of throwing in the hat altogether.)

Yes, but that would violate the constitutional guarantee of a right to trial with a jury of ones peers.
