Don't feel too bad, at many conferences, the "Pros" make up the presentation on the spot while the preceeding presenter is presenting his research and insight..
WoW is almost as bad of a time burglar as slashdot. and a million billion percent less free. It can ruin your life. By estranging you from real, meaningful interraction with real people. As evidence, I point to a recent episode of one of the wife-swap programs. One of the moms was a MMORPG player (by happenstance it was WoW, but the issues are genrewide). Instead of dealing with the family, she tried to hole up in the immersive simulated enviroment. Fortunately, the family's lack of broadband prevented her from being able to install a year's worth of updates and she was forced to go outside. They tried to take her to museums, parks, various activies around the town, but all she could think of was getting back to that damnable game.
She couldn't even take a couple weeks off from the addiction to pretend to be normal while she costarred in a creepily invasive game show.
Oh, c'mon. The "People being held without trial for indefinate periods of time" were captured in a WAR ZONE fighting against our troops. That makes them POWs in the literal sense, if not the recognized-by-treaty sense. Any army fighting in a conflict has the right to hold prisoners taken during that fight for at least the duration of the conflict to ensure that they don't just jump back into the fighting.
Now the sticky contention is that they are not POWs according to the Geneva convention. Although their nations, organizations, whathaveyou were not signitories to that treaty, and they refuse to honor it themselves, the letter of the treaty is still being realized. They are not POWs-by-the-treaty. They are also not noncombatants. They are something else, and therefore not entitled to the rights of either POWs or noncombatants. and certainly they are not entitled to the rights of BOTH.
I got nothing on 1&3 though. (3)'s been happening for longer than the current administration, but that's not really an excuse. 1 was rediculous, and the issue was only made complicated by the public funding of the campaigns. If the parties were entirely privately funded, they would have the right to buy/rent as much space as they want and exclude who they choose (except, of course, public thoroughfares.)
I'm not so sure how many people thought Bush was Conservative. I voted for him in 2000 because he wasn't Gore, and in 2004 because he wasn't shouting about "cutting and running" out of Iraq every 5 minutes. I mean, it was one thing to be against the war going in, but quite another to abdicate our responsibility to the people of the country whose government we demolished after the fact.
Y'know, maybe a presidential election shouldn't have to be a referendum on everything under the sun too. Referendums should be the referendums..
It appears to "not be for sale" but they'll let you bid on it anyway as long as your bid is over $400. So, it would seem their price is a minimum of $400.
None of those laws are proposed by people who think all pornographic content is exploitation? Or who think that it cheapens the act, turning lovemaking into mere vulgar hedonism? Feminists don't oppose it on the grounds that it is demeaning to women? Health workers aren't concerned about increased promiscuity spreading diseases? Filmmakers and artists aren't concerned about dilution of their market?
I always end up buying a new mobo regardless of socket too, because the old mobo can't support the speed of the new cpu I want when I'm ready to buy anyway.
Actually, you should maintain a certain amount of debt. Student loans and mortgages are cheap money: you're better off investing and paying them off at the minimum rate, especially with the tax incentives on mortgages. Now if you should examine your investments and notice that your return is lower than the interest rate on those debt products, by all means, pay off as soon as possible. Your money should work for YOU not someone else.
Are there numbers for this available somewhere? I would think it would be very difficult to show the "wealth distribution" accurately, but surely there's some way to compare the various nations. Obviously, there's no way just comparing the Top 1 person to the Bottom 1 person would accurately portray this.
Slashdot does not have convenient math notation, which would be required for the lengthy explanation of what's going on. But your assumption is incorrect. The key words to look for are "aperature size" and "effective aperature size" and note what happens in the case of isotropic radiator. It is also important to keep in mind that only one of the antennas in the cell phone/tower loop is isotropic.
And.. how do you know the study itself isn't propoganda?
The premise of the article considers only pro-government misperceptions and fails to consider underlying mechanisms as to their cause.
For instance, IIRC, there were several occasions during immediate post-war period in which items recovered were prima facie evidence of WMD production, but which were later determined to be inconclusive. The correct perception, which the authors themselvs appear to have mis'd is that we have not yet found conclusive evidence of WMD production.
Under that circumstance, one would expect the response to the question: Do you believe we have found WMDs? to be very noisy, but a large enough sample should be rather similar to the flip of a coin.
Similarly, Israeli intelligence suggested early on that Saddam had a role in initiating the attacks. The story was later ignored. No formal redaction was posted on ANY news-service that I can remember. There was however the "terrorist training camp" which the defector informed us of, though that story too seems to have later been ignored. No stories have been run in any newsservice i can remember in which the anchors have stated, "The thing that we thought was a terrorist traning facility with a commercial airliner body for training purposes was in fact a..." without leaving the (...) part ambiguous.
It's hard to put the genie back in the bottle, especially when the respose to "X is blah" is, "X might not be blah" or "X isn't proveably blah."
The point is that if you take the perceptions of PBS as given, then everyone else will seem to have misperceptions by default. If you take the researcher's opinions on these things as given, you are attributing to them an omniscence which news services would pay dearly to have.
The article keeps talking about clock pulses. So.. The carrier is being generated as a square wave? It would seem to me that a lot of energy is being lost on filtering edges.
BS. My first monitor was 640x480 14 inch jobby. It was ok, but the pixels were very visible. My current monitor is 19" and capable of 1600x1200. I never use that mode for two reasons though. The first is that it's only capable of that at like 50 fps, and the second is that everything seems to specify font size in pixels, so if i put the resolution all the way up to make things look sharper, all the text is tiny.
The demand for better monitors is somewhat limited by the second contention. Why buy a high-rez monitor if it's going to make all the menues uncomfortably tiny?
Firefox in the browser world, and other tools elsewhere help out wrt. the second problem. Websites are all over the place in specifying font sizes though, so gestures comes in really handy for quickly resizing a page immediately after clickage. Unfortunately, putting the fonts at a reasonable size seems to mess up quite a few pages with complicated, hard-coded styles resulting in lots of text overlap or poorly flowing tables and whatnot.
I have decent eyesight, but I don't want all the text on my monitor to look like the system font from fifteen years ago that was all about minimizing memory usage. I want text to look like newsprint or a book. My monitor is capable of this, so why is the software lagging?
The physical size of the text on the screen should be independant of the pixel size of the monitor.
Yes. Actually, your sphere technique will work for a directional antenna as well. The directionality of the antenna will determine just how that energy is distributed, since it's not even over the whole surface, but the inverse square law holds regardless of the radiation pattern.
is the character in Star Wars most like us? I'm gonna have to say, no. The character most like us is Owen Lars. He plods through life with no real goal and burns out at a young age.

That is very interesting: must not repeat or be similar to the previous 12 passwords you have used
In order to enforce this, the plain-text password must be stored somewhere. You can't get similarity from a hash.
Oh, c'mon. Businesses usually give you something in return for your money, be it service or product.
You might be sure, but you'd be wrong. Whales are mammals, with a mammilian skeletal structure.

What's the difference between the last two?

Why can't the cpu be similarly "salted?"
Sprint has had this for years. I'm sure the other services have as well:
3-way calling. (ok it's limited to only three parties, but it counts as "talking to more than one person at a time)
"broadcast message" You can actually send a voice message to a predetermined "group" using voicemail commands.
I always end up buying a new mobo regardless of socket too, because the old mobo can't support the speed of the new cpu I want when I'm ready to buy anyway.

Bourne-Again SHell and the Mario Bros. series are two examples of pipe dreams that have turned out pretty well...

Your application of the Friis equation is incorrect. Antenna gain in the directional antenna depends on wavelength with a 1/lambda^2 factor.
Why do you believe Fox news is propaganda?
Ok, maybe you can explain this though..

But data is just the ST version of Asmov's humaniform robots. So you should really include the psychic robot, R. Daneel Olivaw.
