It's simple in the same way weather simulations are simple. It's simple by itself, but the problem grows exponentially as you expand it beyond trivial cases.
Basically, they're at the lower end of the class of intractable problems. In principle, they're solvable if you can just throw enough computing power at them. We're just getting to the point where that amount of power is obtainable.
Great, that's only 20 times the mass of the trio of RTGs on Cassini. And it produced a whole 3/4s the power. And was supposed to work for a whole year (vs. 13 and counting for the RTGs).
Yes, several hundred feet down. Having to pull up water from that kind of depth for an evaporative cooler is not helping the case for a datacentre in Arizona.
Furthermore, an evaporative cooler is pretty much useless during the monsoon season through July and August.
I really don't understand why ISP's aren't fighting this. Once p2p traffic goes down, they lose a lot of the high-paying customers, and the investments for the infrastructure will be harder to recover.
They don't want those customers. They want the people paying $200/month for HDTV and their video on demand (where they charge $5/movie, not that silly unlimited business from netflix) service.
Some actually help with their active ingredients, others just help due to the placebo effect though...
What active ingredients? Homeopathic "medicine" is massively diluted (part of the stupid of it is diluting something in a specific manner makes it stronger) and is unlikely to contain more than a handful of molecules (if that) of the supposed "active ingredient".
You wouldn't do that by itself, but it would be part of cataract surgery. Some types of replacement intraocular lens are UV transparent. My grandma has one that was installed in the 80s.
Horseshit. Before the Internet, interstate catalog sales were NEVER taxable. That the individual states have decided to get greedy and attempt to collect on sales tax for transactions out of their jurisdiction doesn't make it incumbent on the citizens to make it easy for them to do so. Shame on Amazon for caving on this.
Horseshit yourself. They've always been taxable. The only difference is whether the tax is withheld by the seller or if the buyer has to include it on their income tax form.
Hydrogen worked fine. Hindenburg's registration number was LZ129, the 129th zeppelin (actually 115th, as 14 of those were uncompleted military models at the end of WW1) produced in Germany.
Even on Hindenburg, 2/3rds of the passengers and crew survived the crash. What's the survival rate on airplane crashes?
You mean it would, if prior art was still being considered by patent examiners. Prior art is only useful if your have bignum dollars to withstand a lawsuit over it.
The fact T-Mobile made $1.3 billion profit on $20 billion revenue last year suggests it is not taking a loss on those deals and that it would survive just fine if not bought out
It's not so much the republicans as the "blue dog" democrats that shut down a public option. The republicans weren't going to support anything regardless of what appeasement was added.
Canada doesn't have quite as much of a density problem. We have huge swaths of completely empty. 90% of the population is in a 100 mile band from the US border. And out of that 10%, 5% is Edmonton and Calgary.
Exactly. There is a lot of very poor quality alternatives to commercial software, and a few high quality ones. Also Open Source has a tendency towards "I am going to put features in the code that I wan't" not "I am going to put features that most of my users want"/quote>
But the prime difference between closed and open source is you can hire or contract someone and have the features you want added, regardless of what the software originator thinks, whereas with closed, you're at the mercy of the company making it.
There are reputable ones. They limit themselves to skeletal/muscular problems and work in conjunction with physiotherapists, massage therapists, and orthopedic surgeons as needed.
Vaccinations aren't 100% effective and not all people (people allergic to eggs, for example) can be vaccinated. The measles vaccine is 95-99% effective. Thus limited outbreaks remain possible.

It should be a simple path of elimination

Closer to 1/5th the power, and that's not counting the inch of lead you need to surround the thing with.

Doctors aren't the issue, it's the medical equipment and supply companies and there are few enough of those that collusion IS happening.
Probably because the extra expense of cooling in that climate would outweigh the benefit of better solar collection.

Some UV is ionizing. The line between ionizing and non-ionizing is in the upper range of the UVC band at about 150nm (2PHz)

My guess is that they have a better plan up their sleeve.
Presumably they're thinking Congress will do something before the 1 year wait is over.

Windows Vista 64-bit since SP1, Windows 7 64-bit (32-bit versions are SOL), and Server 2008 support UEFI/GPT.
Easy. We use "community standards". Since the internet is global, we find the most prudish, conservative community in the world and have them decide.
I have no idea what those early settlers did wrong, but modern Hutterites seem to pull it off fine.

UN medium-variant population growth estimate from 2004.
The 2010 medium-variant estimate says 9.3 billion by 2050, and leveling off around 10.1 billion by 2100.

IMHO I think it is time for private industry to start bidding on mail regions.
Capital idea. Then I'll just have to travel 50 miles to get my mail like I do whenever stupid companies ship via Fedex.
