You can write anything that sounds scientific and it will be modded insightful hence the Insightful mods for Casimir Effect. (mods, it has *nothing* to do with Casimir Effect). For example,
"Ah, it is just induction caused by the Planck-Einstein effect in metals"
Of course, there is no such thing but I have Planck and Einstein in there! Must be true! Just don't go too far,
"Ah, the reverse polarity of the plasma field in the static warp bubble"
And that will get you funny mods.
But for real, it is NOT a perpetual motion machine. If it was, you would not need a power source. It would just run on its own generated power. More efficient electric motors? Who knows.
I agree. If economy stubbles, the advertising revenue will slowly dry up. Yahoo is a major loser not to accept this. If it was me, my next deal to them would be $25-29/share in 6 months.
Microsoft should wait. The only other company that could buy Yahoo would be Google, but they have no cash for that and certainly no advantage for them to have the Yahoo brand.
For example, when I pay for electrical power, the pill says,
Meter cost - $12
First 200kWh - $0.07/kWh
Remaining - $0.065/kWh
So, if I only have my radio on and nothing and and use only $1kWh/mo, I still pay $12 a month for that 1kWh.
But yes, it should cost per usage to get stuff from Internet. It would fix the bottlenecks. $15 basic charge + $2/GB seems about fair to me at current bandwidth costs.
In Windows you can't turn off all listening ports. Similarly on a Mac. Linux/UNIX is the only system that allows me to not require a firewall, though I still use one.
I do agree that NAT is a hack of all hacks. It is still useful though. For example, redirecting traffic to a different IP. Or transparent proxies. Though NAT has a IP "saving" technique is crap.
The so called calculations are crap. The top speed is irrelevant to the jump distance as dy/dt or vertical velocity at takeoff has everything to do with available muscle power at that time. If you are going top speed, you CANNOT jump super distances, but if you are going a little slower, you have that reserve for the upward jump which gives you distance. To get height, you have to almost stop - see high jump.
Horizontal velocity is the distance and depends on your speed. Vertical velocity is the time you'll spend in the air before gravity pulls you back down. Both depend on your total impulse power and top "RPMs" of your leg muscles (kind of constant). The paper just treats the problem as an inlined plane trajectory - WAY too simplistic to reality.
This turns out to be a differential equation. The "paper" just describes maximum distance at a best take off angle. The tiger could NEVER do what the paper describes. It can't go 25 miles per hour from one jump!! That is the scenario described by the paper. The jump angle is always shallow. The larger the angle, the less the total velocity because you have to translate horizontal muscle motion into vertical impulse.
Finally, your diagram makes it much more believable that a tiger CAN jump the distance. Humans can come close to the distance the tiger jumped in your diagram. The new addition will make the jump impossible.
Marijuana is a *controlled* substance because it is a mind-altering substance like other illegal and some legal drugs (Oxycotin, morphine, coke, etc.). It's been only been deemed legal for people with a prescription to use it. People that are terminally ill. People that will not drive under it's influence and kill others because their are stoned out of their mind.
Anyway, anyone possessing controlled substances without a permit should be jailed for a long, long time. To facilitate people killing themselves, *free* access to these substances should be provided in monitored environments where they can take as much as they want. They will only be released once *sober*. And all people driving intoxicated killing others should be charged with *exactly* the same crimes as other murderers.
Most of the drugs are developed by publicly funded research institutions. These patent the drugs, and then sell the patent to the drug companies. These then pay for safety studies, etc.
Vast majority of the drug companies expenses is NOT related to the drug research or safety or patent acquisitions. It is spent on advertising.
Basic research is almost never conducted by big pharma. It is too risky. Not enough reward. Bringing drugs to market is not been the goal of publicly funded institutions because their goal is research and understanding, not marketing. This unfortunately gets us where we are today - a world where 99% of all antibiotics are manufactured for the agriculture industry. Where new antibiotics are NOT created because it pays more to create HBP or cholesterol pills. Where people die because some fat bastard is sitting on a drug that could save his/her life, but their life is just not worth it.
We need the government to step in and start to actually develop the drug and start competing with the big pharma. So far it is costing millions of lives in rare diseases and diseases in poor nations. Big pharma's perfect drug is not a cure - it is a life long dependency on their pills.
And I don't give a flying fsck if you want to call me a commie or not. Capitalism works for luxuries, but when your life is on the line, money is worth less than shit.
If the criminals and terrorists are either "uneducated hoards" or someone with some education, I'd expect someone in science to do a "better job" as a criminal than the "uneducated hoards" or someone with a fine arts degree. One of the tasks you learn in *real* science (what the pseudo-scientists here don't seem to grasp) is the ability to plan ahead. Yes, plan ahead. Therefore maybe criminals and terrorists with some science background will get further in their game than square 1.
Furthermore, maybe people that want to get "ahead" in their criminal organizations enter college to gain education in the material that they will find useful. You know, an engineer or a chemist may be a more useful profession for them than a poet.
But then what will these pseudo-scientists find next in their statistics? That some of the non-science terrorists/criminals like to play chess or other strategy games? Or that they are fanatics *before* starting their university education?
75% of people know these statistics are bogus 19 times out of 20.
Then why do I have to pay for my dentist? My optometrist? Ambulance ride? Social medical care doesn't include ALL medical care, just the core.
Also medical care, roads, police and other *necessities* for functional society are social services because *everyone* needs them sooner or later.
Music is a *luxury*. We are already paying for CBC from our taxes, so the cost is hidden. But maybe we should be paying for it by number of televisions in the house?? Yeah, that will be a huge success, not to mention privacy issues.
Everyone just wants money. Frankly, they can frig off. If they want to support artists, then maybe they should lobby for government for funds NOT blame internet connections for it (and gov't can tell them to frig off). We are already paying A LOT more for internet services here than in the US. Now they'll just add $5 at a time until it tops $100/month.
Finally, you keep typing *cost*. It is not *cost*, it is a money grab, nothing more.
PS. This proposal makes as much sense as if someone wanted $10/month from every subscriber for all the pirated software people download. What about GPL and BSD and other free software? Sorry, the central organization needs to make money off of these authors too I guess.
Prejudice is everywhere. If you think the current candidates have it bad, consider if any of the following were applicable,
1. Willing to vote for atheist
2. Willing to vote for Muslim
3. Willing to vote for "Latino"
4. Willing to vote for a gay man
5. Willing to vote for a gay woman
In democratic party they may get into double digit approval, but not in the republican crowd. Most current nations are still very much prejudicial and discriminatory.
Aside: Your numbers are backwards - you write them in ascending order like '79 to 94 percent' not the other way around.

Nokia Buys Trolltech
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
If they release all desktop Qt (mac,linux and windows) under BSD, then they'll lose most of the support subscribers. This will result in Nokia pulling developers from the division as it will be losing lots of money. Then we end up with community supported Qt only.
Commercial users can get screwed if Nokia stops development on Qt. If they continue at current pace or actually fix most of the bugs in their BTS, the better for commercial users. Heck, since Nokia is already using Qt, they are a commercial user and I don't see them screwing themselves.
From a letter I received, Trolltech will continue to function as an independent unit in Nokia so I don't think much has changed except the management.
Spectrum utilization is very, very important especially for large deployments. 250M => crazzy slow speed.
Anyway, wireless is least reliable, least secure method of deployment. It is also cheapest to deploy in the near term. In the long term, fiber is cheaper and by far more reliable and expandable.
WiMax may be a good secondary, low bandwidth connection to fiber/DSL. It is not a reliable primary connection though.
It is not for capitalism to be gentler but for the governments to legislate rules that makes capitalism gentler. The same with environmental policies - it is for governments to legislate. Furthermore, it is for governments to enforce these rules and fine people/companies big $$$ for breaking them.
The target audience for Gates needs to be WTO and individual governments. These can make capitalism "gentler" through rules and enforcement. There is nothing else to it.
For example, if it was OK to extort and to murder competition, that what would happen. But we have legislation against these things so they tend not to happen. Now, bring in other laws to protect the environment, provide global minimum wage, remove corrupt legislators and police, etc and capitalism will be "gentler" by default.
Wouldn't the failure of "Advanced LIGO" be significant for the underlying theory, GR? If LIGO fails, it would be one of the best thing to happen to Physics since the photoelectric effect. Einstein's explanation gave rise to a whole new branch of physics and LIGO may end up propelling physics into new areas instead of the same old, same old 'ok, verified theory to x ppm'. I'd say experiments are most successful when they disprove a theory!

- Bob
BTW, the blah is from original email and there are 2 responses there. Now figure it out. These are the worst emails I get. Others are replies to 6 year old threads to start new ones. I stopped sorting by thread - completely useless.
Finally, text mails are the only real way to transmit mails if you are any serious about spam filtering. If you look at the message source, text-only messages are clean and beautifully formatted. For examples, see something like Debian or BSD mailing lists (some bad examples there too). For the worst mailing lists, see wix-users mailing lists - many posters are @ microsoft.com. Email etiquette cesspool on that list.
Chaney and other neocons "advising" him are the ones actually in power. Though some of the bad ideas were his, mostly related tax policy. The idea to take out Saddam was also bad, but then the "advisors" wanted it to happen instead of talking sense. Heck, most American's wanted the war in Iraq (see public opinion prior to war) so I don't think they can now point to it as something really bad for US.
Apple doesn't have the panacea of the OS world. And I own a Mac. Seriously, Vista is not that bad and can be comparable to Apple. The annoying popups shouldn't actually be experienced in properly written software for end-users anyway.
Windows API/ABI at least is stable. Apple's new OS is less so. I wander how long it will take for 10.0 apps to be unusable. The only "problem" with 64-bit Vista is you can't run Windows 3.1 apps anymore.:)
I know you can argue that manifests are nasty and all that, but at least the overall situation with manifests is a little better than the old DLL-hell we used to experience. Apple has a better solution from user standpoint, though it has its shortcoming (ie. app bundles).
But if you are speaking from a programming world (as someone that writes software for all 3 OS - OS X, windows and Linux), Linux's userland is way ahead in the programmer friendliness. Stuff just works. Tools just work. Automation just works. In this light and my experience, both X and Windows are light-years behind.
All extra peripherals are replaced with USB devices. There is no need to complicate the interface anymore. USB is ubiquitous. Maybe firewire would have been a better solution, but Apple butchered it by requiring manufacturers pay royalties while USB had a royalty-free implementation from the start. Clearly, free-market spoke and USB is king.
Card readers and express card slots went the way of the floppy and serial port.
It is disturbing because then how do you explain that we are only the way we are through creation? If the robots learn themselves, evolve themselves and the same attributes popup in them as in the rest of us, then how will a creationist "disprove" evolution?
No, gold backed currencies *suck*. Period. And gold is not a currency for the reason it has limited supply. Any economist would tell you that fiat currencies are superior because you can control supply.
If you don't have a clue, consider this scenario. The world has X number of people with Y number of currency. Now, since Y is fixed, and X is not, what happens if you have 2X of people?? 3X? Yes, the value of your currency per unit goes *up*. Hence, deflation. People stop spending the currency to get real assets, instead they hoard the currency. This is otherwise known as deflation.
The role of the currency is to facilitate transactions between persons. It is just IOU notes. What inflation does it put an expiry date on your transactions. That is, you want to invest and/or use your currency to get something in reasonable amount of time. In deflation, you sit on your cash because it earns you more tomorrow than it did today.
And let's now start talking about bust/boom cycles that are magnified by fixed supply currency like gold.
You take games like EVE with realistic monetary system and economy model. The money supply from missions (only way to get money) doesn't cause inflation as it is spent into ships that get blown (one of few ways to lose money). Mining doesn't make money because mined stuff gets bought by other *players* not game.
So I guess millions of people that lived in that time period didn't exist at all because they we not even literary inventions at all. Do you then subscribe to the notion that "no birth registry => person cannot exist"? Sad. I guess most of the 6 billion people on this planet don't really exist.
And why stop at Jesus? Are you saying that Mohamed didn't exist? Or Moses was also invented? Plato is fake?
Your comment is just as sad as the creationist comments. Deny all evidence.
You could have said "there is no evidence for so called miracles Jesus performed", or "there is no evidence that all accounts of Jesus are correct". But then you probably are just a AI posting on slashdot. I'm sure you don't really exist.
