Don't talk to strangers, don't let them near you, better yet, don't go outside at all, and, for God's sake, don't open up your wifi to them. Strangers are bad guys. They will kidnap you and download child porn onto your computer and turn your wifi into a terrorist training camp. Just don't do it.
Foreigners are coming to US and paying our high tuitions. This is a flow of wealth into the country of $21.8 billion, according to the linked article. This does not support the argument of Mayor Bloomberg, who seems to think we are giving away the education. No, education is our product which we are selling. And we have some of the best education in the world.
Then I would countersue. Public domain does not allow a company to assert ownership of the work, only their derivative works. If they are willing to commit fraud, then a license isn't going to stop them.
Not sure what the intent of this article is, since academic research already uses a lot of open source software, far beyond use in industry. Knowing how to navigate a posix system is practically a requirement. Researchers also produce a lot of open source software. In my experience, software mostly falls into two categories: quick, hacked together scripts for analyzing data in a specific way, and complex simulations. The quick scripts generally aren't shared because it would take just as long to explain it to someone else as to rewrite it, and making a manual is simply a waste of time. But the quick scripts are written in a high level language which promotes the sharing of snippets of code, like math functions, commonly used analysis, plotting routines... The workstations at a lab are networked together and typically these little snippets get shared around the work group, and seem to find their way to other groups through collaborations and stuff.
Simulation codes are usually written in FORTRAN and are always distributed in source code form, because workstations have diverse architectures and typically a user will have to modify the program to fit his or her needs. Nobody cares about licenses and such, though you should probably include the code author in your coauthor list of a paper you publish using the code.
The flow of money would probably be more fair in the hands of the government than in a for-profit corporation. It's true that the government is not efficient and it will probably overpay for employee benefits, contractors, analysts, paperwork upon paperwork intended to guard against all sorts of fraud. On the other hand, a for-profit corp. will overpay its executives and possibly stockholders. The government program might end up costing more, as the aggregate cost of all those employees and employees who watch over other employees maybe outweighs the cost of paying a few executives a few billions. But, the government program is probably more beneficial to the economy, since money is not so heavily concentrated in a few hands.
Fine, then let merchants charge a higher price if paying by cash, IF THEY WANT. Give them the choice, and I doubt you'll see many merchants charging higher prices for cash. Not while banks are gouging them with a 3% tax.
For a ruler to be expanding, the ends would have to be drifting apart under its own inertia. If the ends were in free-fall and moving apart, then the ruler would expand. But, the ruler is held together by molecular forces, so it isn't able to drift apart. Since the ruler is bonded together, the effect of any subtle tidal forces (not sufficient to tear it apart) might slightly perturb the arrangement, but they do not integrate over time. They'll snap right back if you turn off the forces. On the other hand, if you apply subtle tidal forces to objects which aren't bonded together (like distant galaxies), they'll move apart with distance increasing in time, and they won't come back if you turn off the forces.
I'm not trying to say that expansion doesn't drag things along. I'm saying that this warping of spacetime is not the cause of everything moving apart, but rather the universe has to be solved self-consistently, so the effect of everything moving apart actually drags space with it, and we can't really say if the motion of the masses or the warping of spacetime came first. Really, the two are tied together. The inertia of everything moving apart means that there's an inertia to the expansion of space, and the expansion can't suddenly change or contract. I don't know how inflation fits into this picture--I'm having a difficult time believing inflation really happened.
The muon sits much closer to the nucleus than an electron, so the charge of the muon is perhaps changing the shape of the proton, "squeezing it". Since the proton is made up of charged quarks, the ground state orbitals for the quarks could be somehow modified by the nearby muon charge. I'm totally guessing of course.
It's not correct to think of objects as being passive points attached to an actively expanding grid which carries them along. Objects (masses) are primary participants in the shaping of spacetime and not simply being dragged along. In other words, we shouldn't think of the expansion of the universe as causing faraway galaxies to move away from us. Rather, the fact that faraway galaxies are moving away from us is the expansion of the universe (and not a symptom). Everything is moving apart from each other. Galaxies are coasting away from us due to inertia, causing the expansion to continue. (Dark energy, or cosmological constant, is causing the expansion to accelerate by altering the geodesics that these galaxies are following.)
With this picture in mind, it should be more clear that the expansion of the universe won't cause a ruler or the Sun to expand.
The precise limit is 2147483647, because some lazy engineer decided that a 32 bit int counter was good enough. I plan on upgrading to the 64 bit heart. That will give me 9*10^18 or so heart beats before overflowing. Plenty enough for me.
How much have you been influenced by the attempts to breed back aurochs by the Heck brothers? The Heck cattle bear some resemblance to the extinct aurochs. The degree of success is controversial, because there are very significant differences between the aurochs and the Heck cattle. Some believe that the whole idea of breeding back is deeply flawed, because you cannot achieve a genotypical match by working from phenotypical measures..
Is it really a competitive strategy for the ISP to pay? It seems that an ISP could just refuse to pay for ESPN and undercut its competition. Most people don't need ESPN360.

Given this possibility, one wonders why all cafés haven't been raided for CP.

Maybe I don't care if my code rots in obscurity.
I hereby release this post into the public domain.
But that won't stop their next of kin from suing you.

If a company decides to use my code for mad moneys, good for them.

We've always been at war with terrorists.
You watch too many movies. None of this stuff is possible.
Nobody's perfect.

According to the story, 14 of 15 professors voted to expel him. It wasn't all just school administrators.

70-80% is not very efficient? I'm actually totally blown away that it is this efficient!
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, so it isn't "totalitarian".
How do you know they revere the king? Because nobody said anything otherwise?
You can still have accident insurance. We can't test for that yet.
