yeah.. why is that? You'd think that every sound would appear to be from both its location and the compliment of its location about the axis of your head.. but most of us seem to be able to tell the difference betwen the bang that happenend in front of us and the one behind. Any thoughts?
The people in the faraway galaxy sure were really stupid a long time ago. Let's recap from the fourth movie (#1):
Qui'gon: He could be the one to bring balance to the force. Yoda: Clouded his future is. (not exact quotes)
In a galaxy in which there are presumably thousands (and at least hundreds) of light jedi and only 2 dark jedi, why didn't obi wan say, "Balance eh, It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out. Lock him up"
Yeah we'd probably ignore it as long as we could until pressures from other terrorist sources indicated that any terrorism cannot be ignored. Then we'd invade his country and depose him as leader. If we captured him we'd try him for war crimes or let his own people do same. At some point we'd probably try to establish a democracy in the newly captured country much the same way we handled west germany and japan. Friendly and powerful trading parterners being more valuable than colonies and all.
Only ignorant college students pirate software. My university library has apparantly purchased some kind of site license which allows students to install software (as long as they don't copy the library's disk) According to the librarians (and the legal notice on the list-o-programs), there is no requirement that the software be deleted upon returning the disk to the library, which is good for students because the offering includes a version of windows XP and Office XP, which they would obviously need for not less than an entire semester. Mine is one of the smaller colleges, so i can't imagine that other universities aren't doing the same thing.
Obviously a HTML rendering problem... when the people whos computers you've repaired can't get a "IE only" page to load right in FF, I'd wager they are loading the page in IE.
You're probably referring to the ABM treaty we used to have with USSR. (since the quote provided indicates some wiggle room for non-exploratory missions) The fact is that the nation we had that treaty with no longer exists. To expect any treaty to outlive the existance of all but one party is perhaps a little optimistic (If you liked the results of the treaty) and somewhat nightmarish (if you belive that the new entities, not bound to the treaties of the parties from which they arose, could engage in activies which would violate the treaty were it to still apply)
If china decided to stop exporting, we'd up domestic produciton or purchase from other countries to make up the differnce. Foreign trade makes up rougly 10% of the GDP, I think we can recover from losing a fraction of 10%. China on the other hand may rely more on foreign trade than we do, especially for agricultural goods. Since the US is the biggest exporter of said goods, one wonders if the trade "deficit" is really more of a misvaluation of traded goods.
That movie was poorly named: the menace was real and spoke with an insulting asianesque accent. Also, one of the menace's minions was queequeg in black and red.
No no that's backwards. Space is far away, really big, nothing lives there, there's nothing even interesting for millions of miles in almost every direction, and we're shielded from bad things in space by a thick atmosphere (for radiation) and a magnetic bottle (for charged particles).
Weaponizing space is a great idea. Weaponizing Earth is the questionable one.
which would make those bonds worthless very quickly. either way, we've already won: we've been exporting our worthless money and they've been foolishly sending us their valuable goods.
0/0 != 0. Most math texts would stop there and say 0/0 is undefined. Math software such as MATLAB would call the result "Not a number" (NaN). We can try to create our own definition with limits: lim[a->0] (a/a) = 1. So do date, RIAA is either batting 'unknown' or it is batting 1.000.
Regardless, statistics are beyond meaningless if the number of data points is ZERO.
What is required as initial substrate for CVD? If pretty much anything will do, I'd get in line for a custom diamond, perhaps with a birthstone in the center. How can debeers compete (in the long run) with individuallized diamond manufacturing? (even if it is just doping with some element for color?)
On the question of buoyancy at 100,000 ft, I don't think a dirigible would be sufficient owing to the mass of the structure. Remember, the air's thinner so you must have a much larger balloon at 1e5 ft compared to 6kft. OTOH, perhaps some kind of hybrid, semirigid design would be possible...
My college assigns everyone a unique number as freshmen. Despite this, they still insist on using SSNs for everything. (Often you can use the other number, but you really have to be insistant and you get strange looks from people that think you shouldn't care.)
It's too bad there's no way to have a "simplified" algorithm for low power devices... i.e. reconstruct the full waveform if you have a 3ghz desktop machine, but reconstruct a lower fidelity waveform if you're running on a palm III.
Or real space: consider a magnetic field varying at about 1khz. If there is enough power, it doesn't matter what the microphone is made of, the lead wires will pick up the signal and dutifully pass it on to whatever circuitry is recording. Why you'd put microphones on a space-camera and why the passing ships would wastefully produce high power EM oscillations in the "audible" range are mysteries to be solved by the reader. No mysterious ether need be postulated for this one.
I believe you misspelled "Proton" as "Energia." No point in using the russian hypothetical shuttle-copy to do what the shuttle already does. The russians cancelled that project for a reason.
Is there a version of GPL where you don't have to GPL your code if all it does is link to a GPL library? That seems the main sticking point to me: if you can keep your code segregated from the GPL stuff, shouldn't you be able to license your code however you want? as long as you distribute the source for the GPL library if you distribute the library with your program?

Oh. well then i'm glad i live in the US then.

How much longer can one man live? Seriously.. i thought the current policy re: cuba was,
1. Wait for Castro to die naturally
2. ?
3. Normalize relations with the new cuban government.
Whatever loophole they use could not last long.. maybe a decade or two at most assuming health care in cuba is as good as they say it is.

Ok but which one did better in Rhode Island? What about Luxembourg?

did anyone else think the "mirror universe" theme song was way better than the "real universe" theme song?
I thought you were supposed to use SSH tunneling to connect the remote sites.. That isn't necessary? shoot i've been doing this all wrong.
Also he's wrong about the solar cells. They are exactly diodes. In fact, you can shine light on regular diodes and see the same effect.

Size matters not. but what about speed?
BTW.. if size matters not, why didn't yoda smash dooku's ship with the column before dooku got to it?
