is a public key system that is resistant to quantum fourier sampling attacks (ie. attacks of the type Shor discovered). That's not to say it's resistant to quantum mechanical attacks, but that if it is, nobody knows what the attack looks like.

Anti-helium has a mass exactly equal (well, if CPT is a good symmetry) to helium. The mass of helium is roughly 4 amu, which is ~4 GeV.
The mass of the top quark is *significantly* more than that. The mass of the top (and antitop) is 172 GeV.
> 27 million. Just go to amazon.com, choose the books department to the left of the search bar, don't enter anything in the search field, and press go.
So that reduces the significance by a factor of 10. That said, it's still 0.2%, which is quite high considering they're not a traditional publisher.

If you have good ideas for research that nobody is currently doing, the office or a professor can sponsor you, and you can get money to travel to facilities, run experiments, etc. The program not only makes doing research fantastically accessible to undergrads, but also maintains programs like MIT's FormulaSAE and SolarCar teams.
Buzzing speakers happen. I'm sure they happen at CalTech too. The claim that a buzzing speaker implies professors do not care about their students is outrageous.
I suppose you don't know of the Campus Preview Weekend (CPW) myth. It has been beautiful weather for the last 10 or so CPWs, with nasty weather on either side. Rumor has it that the administration has a weather machine.
Who really knows what that big round thing on top of the Green Building is anyway, considering it's illegal to go there.
and a brother of the play midnight-wiffleball-with-prefrosh fraternity, I must say the balloons in lobby 7 were pretty tame. I guess they never heard about the balloon at the Harvard-Yale football game.
We'll be sure to get them back, don't you all worry.
because "nobody" cares about how stable it is, how useful tabbed browsing is, what tech people say, how much sexier the icon is than that stupid e, the rave reviews it gets, the fact that it's OSS, feels faster than IE (at least on my Mac), and is safer for the average joe user.
I could totally see how an ostrich with its head buried in the sand* would consider it no threat.
*Yes, I am aware that there is no documented case of an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
People might say, "Well, computers are inanimate objects." It's true. They're simply logic gates and other chemicals arranged in a manner for moving data about.
Now, look at your cell. Zoom in. Then zoom in some more. All you are made of is inanimate. Is a protein alive? Is a piece of DNA? A nucleus? How small does a computer process have to be before its scale of "inanimate" approaches our own?
It feels good to vote in New York...

Ever since I was a kid, my mom has been taking me into the voting booth (either to teach me the importance of voting, or for lack of babysitting). This year I voted for the first time, and it felt great. I don't mean emotionally, I mean physically. When I pulled the levers and flipped the switches, I was actually convinced that my vote counted. It was the neatest feeling.
Imagine the possibilities with some (shrunken) WiFi tech! Hearing things read to you in your earbud, as you request information about them in Wikipedia, or anywhere for that matter.
Politicians will have far scarier debates, as they all find the examples they need on the spot.
I could pass all of my 8.012 tests with Mathematica
Nobody would need to think about stuff!
Now, can I have the computer feed info directly into my brain? Like, say, programming my dreams? That'd be freaking sweet.
A "fair" site funded by one of the sides is inherently going to be biased.
Instead of saying:
SCO is fighting Linux due to supposedly stolen code.
They will say:
SCO is fighting Linux due to stolen code.
It is VERY difficult to have fair news. For example, while many of us agree on what a "terrorist" is, and in the US there is a general consensus (sorry for the hot topic--I'm only using it for an example), others might see such people as "freedom fighters". I'm sure locals in Iraq don't see "Rebels" as "Rebels" but as the "government" fighting for them.
Many, MANY, news sources have trouble stating things in a clear, nonbiased way; no doubt a news source fully sponsored by one side will have biases.
I'm the current world champion!
Nobody's taken my title since I won it last.
The fact that I refuse to play against any professionals and most likely play online is moot.

Truth? If truth got into the American political system the whole country would fall apart!
That's why we elected and re-elected Bill Clinton.
Dole kept saying, "I'm a plain and honest man." Bullshit.
Clinton said, "Hi folks I'm full of shit and how do you like that?!"

On another not, it's shameful that our political system is the way it is, in terms of the disintegration of checks and balances. If the Senate had heard everything and seriously debated, do you think the public would have heard of the "slam dunk"? Probably not.
Sorry to mix humor and serious.
The problem with space combat is many fold
a) You piss tons of people off.
b) You open the opportunity for others to blow up your satellites.
c) You have missiles in space. Come on now, I thought that finished up a while ago.
d) It's expensive!
e) I'd rather the military jam the communication signals from spy satellites than start launching rockets

I think I spotted an error... you were too quick with the cancellation. The main point is that P! / P = (P-1)!
