I believe they're talking about mirror matter. It's still in this universe but doesn't really interact with anything else, kind of like, oh dark matter is suppose to.:) So rather than new particles, they're existing particles but with a reversed parity. I'm not really sure how this would account for how dark matter is distributed differently than normal matter since I would think it would pretty much clump together to form the exact same structures as normal matter would.
"the law doesn't allow it to be used on any 'U.S. persons.'"
Well that's a load off my mind. It's nice to know all we US persons have to worry about is being flagged as a terrorist and executed with no due process in a drone strike, but at least they won't hack our game consoles.
It's still ridiculous being subjected to this nonsense without probable cause. Of course, I also think sobriety check points are unconstitutional too. Even though I would never run afoul of either since I don't smoke or drink, I still care about our actual freedoms.
Uh you do understand this "border" checkpoint is nowhere near the actual border, right? It's just some random spot on I-10 like a 100 miles from the border. Completely ridiculous.
That said, you'd think people would have heard about this and avoid I-10 like the plague in that part of the state.
Wow I'm totally shocked, what's the world coming to?:) All you have to do is actually read the linked article to see there's no sort of thermodynamic violation of any sort implied, not that most of the people posting here will bother to RTFA.
Note we're talking about condensed matter physics here, so this isn't the discovery of a fundamental particle that is a Majorana fermion, just a composite particle (similar to a Cooper pair) that appears to behave like a Majorana fermion. I'm sure this is an exciting discovery, but I tend to get more excited about fundamental particle discoveries.
BTW, maybe someone can enlighten me further, but since neutrinos have mass wouldn't they probably have to be Majorana fermion? You could catch up to a neutrino and make it appear as right-handed in some reference frame which would presumably make it's anti-matter right-handed counterpart? Neutrinoless double-beta decay is what would confirm that, right?
Bah, everyone knows it was Apollo *11* that discovered aliens. They even made a documentary about it where events occurred in real time, it was called "Transformers Presents: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon: The Quickening" or something like that, by Average American Voter.
It's real simple for me, Android is an awful platform to develop for (as are all the lowest common denominator cross platform API's). I have fun developing for iOS and really like the native API and developer tools. It's important for me to actually enjoy what I'm doing. I've definitely lost some projects because I don't offer an Android, but it's not really mattered since I have more work than I know what to do with anyway. Even after culling Android and only taking projects that really interest me, I still have to turn down projects because I'm already booked up.
Android is just not my cup of tea, if it's yours, then more power to you.
It's what's *on* the TV that's the problem. I realized the other day that I don't watch a single TV show on the 3 major networks, I don't even really know or care what's on their schedules anymore really, and only one on Fox, The Simpsons. The few other shows I watch like Breaking Bad, Justified, Curb, Daily Show, Colbert, are all on cable. Although the dearth of quality TV can be a good thing as well, I'm no longer tempted to veg out on the couch anymore.
I can only hope you contacted them anonymously and covered your e-mail tracks (and/or are far outside--presumably--US jurisdiction) otherwise you just opened yourself up to a huge world of trouble. I'm going to assume you're a young person and haven't yet realized you are surrounded by a world of idiots and can't fix everything, you just need to keep your head down and pick your battles, this isn't one of them.
CP violation in weak interactions has been known for some time, specifically in neutral Kaon decay. If I'm understanding this results correctly, the surprise here seems to be the magnitude of the CP violation in this case.
I've been having great fun (and make quite a bit of money) writing iOS apps for people. I get all sorts of different projects, and programming for the platform is fun.
What about the saying "opposites attract"? I mean, my wife is pretty much my exact opposite, and we complement each other quite well. I can't imagine living with someone just like myself.
No, I'm making 100K at my day job. It's more convenient for health insurance and tax purposes as well. I can just adjust my withholding on the fly at my day job to account for my freelance taxes without having to do the whole quarterly estimated payments nonsense.
Another good portion of my clients are companies that need in-house apps or other programmers than need components or whatever. I really prefer those guys the best, they pay on time and know what they're doing.
I have to wade though a lot of fluff like "I want a game/app just XXX (Angry Birds usually:)" but at the moment even culling out all that I have more work than I know what to do with. I've stopped doing game projects, they usually turn into too much of a time sink and aren't worth it for what the client is willing to pay me. I usually do flat fee contracts, but work out the budget based on 75$/hr. Usually I do a gross "this will take 20/40/60/80 hours" type estimates.
I'm reliably making money from the App Store, $75000 (on the side, in addition to my day job) in the last year and half actually. How? By writing apps for all those people that think they're going to get rich from App Store. I'd say probably 10% of my clients have made any money from their apps. Personally I don't try to feed their notions, I just produce the best product I can for them, and they can worry about making money from it, I'll take my money upfront for the coding thank you very much. I always turn down the projects where they want to do "profit sharing".
I do laugh at the guys that make me sign an NDA before they show me their super secret idea. Dude, ideas are a time a dozen, somebody's probably already thought of whatever idea it is you have.
Here here. I get more work than I know what to do with doing freelance programming on the side, and I'm competing against those same dirt rate Indian programmers. Why? Because people still pay for quality. I don't know how many times I've seen clients get stuck with crappy code from these guys. In my case, I'm even benefiting from another creative person who created an entire new industry that I'm working in. That person? Steve Jobs. iPhone programming on the side basically paid for my new house. Thanks Steve! Rest in peace.
To me, it's not science vs religion, it's more like science vs shit that doesn't hold the slightest relevance to my life in any way whatsoever. Yeah be nice to each to other, treat other people with respect, don't lie, cheat, kill, etc I get it, no shit, thanks religion, like I didn't know that already, now go fuck off.

Somehow I have a feeling that a lack of filled positions in those areas aren't particularly hurting anything.

Fair enough, but some of them are at least 75 miles from the border it looks like.

Yet another example highlighting the fact that "illegal" does not necessarily equate to "wrong".

I find it hard to tell the difference between those candidates and the "actual" Republican candidates.
