Indeed. Actually if you do quantum chemistry and always ignore the core electrons, you'll most likely end up with the wrong results. As long as you do chemistry where the electronic properties are not important, the simple core/valence model will do fine, for fancier stuff like calculations on semiconductors, you really wished you could take into account all electrons in the system.
Maybe I am overreacting, but this seems to me a case of religious zealots twisting the wording of normal progress of science to prove their point that the scientific method on itself is wrong. Why on earth they want to bring upon us a new dark age where "reasoning" is a thing of the devil is something I can not understand.
Hmm, then why do they emphasize the use of the ps3 as a pc then? Anyone who uses the PS3 solely as a PC is a loss factor for sony, who earns most on the games. Also changing the disk drive could have been a nice sort of income (only sony-approved disk drives). Now really, I like their politics here, I am just amazed why they seem to deviate from the standard ripping-the-customer-off tactics. Is it just to create goodwill?
funnily enough that "alternative content provider" is actually something suggested in one of the other replies in this thread.
A very interesting effect of this law is that they stimulate the group with the most knowledge, available time, and drive, to find new ways of filesharing without getting caught. nice.
Quite an amusing read:) I had to check again to see if it wasn't The Onion which I was reading. "The playstation is a PC! Well we didn't make it very usable as a PC. Actually it is a piece of crap as a PC. Did I mention our playstation is a PC?"
Refilling itself does not mean the oil just appears out of nowhere. The process mentioned in the article is just a hypothesis that oil from deeper fields might (and just might) flow over into higher, more easily accessible, fields.
The whole oil drilling business is a matter of cost vs gain. And the costs to just retry all old fields to see if maybe they have some extra oil is still huge. Really, you don't need to be a financial expert or geologist to understand that (1) the price of oil is likely to increase steeply in the following years, as more and more difficult accessible fields have to be opened up and (2) oil is a limited good and the search for alternatives needs to go faster than it goes now.
Hmm, the "commies" in Europe let stuff just solve by itself using supply and demand, whereas the "land of the free" needs to think of joke laws to regulate this kind of stuff. Isn't anything what it's supposed to be anymore?
My guess is that it's a Dutchism, in the Dutch language you say, literally translated, that you are "working on a computer", where on means something like "by means of", and the process of working can be called "I sit on a computer to work".
It does get a bit slow on high-density pictures, though, but maybe that is a problem with either acroread or the openoffice pdf export.
Good thing about netbook vs iphone is that you can still make last-minute changes, a very important feature. The 7 inch screen is a bit low on screen-estate though, when you edit a table, the table edit pop-up takes up a lot of space all of a sudden, and is quite likely to cover the text you were editing.
As stupid as many measures are, the TSA official has a job to do just like everybody else, and the way that "keyboard" is built I'd sure take my time investigating it if I were working there.
Nice to find a solution to find a cheap hack to use the Cell on an IBM website. Sometimes you really wonder if they have seen the light:)
I wonder if these machines would make an excellent slim desktop pc to compete with eee desktop and others. But I guess reselling the ps3 with linux preinstalled will be fought by Sony.
Someone should redo the alanis song but then with the correct names of the examples she describes. I bet non of them actually fit to the concept of irony. Your chance on youtube fame!
The best thing is hitting the empty mark, though. When on the empty mark, you can still travel about 30 km, according to the car's manual. The cool thing is that you often don't know exactly when it hit this mark, and you don't know if it's really 30km or not. Even cooler is when you travel only very short distances with it, and still think that you have several km left. Exciting.
Cars are a good analogy here for a change. Where we in Europe were paying relatively high prices for small but fuel-economic European cars for decades now, Americans could buy some good-old V8 trucks from American car factories. Heck, even the VW Rabbit (Golf in Europe) only comes with a ridiculous 2.3 engine in the US.
Now, when the price of fuel is not so much about taxes but mostly about crude oil prices, the struggle of GM and Ford will be hard, very hard. I guess our strict environmental laws that made European factories a lot more expensive will some time go world-wide too, and the costs for US factories to catch up would be very very high.
Yeah, you know. What else is there to say about this. It is pretty nifty of course. Small lasers, probably cheaper to make as well, cool, that can well be a very profitable spin-off. The biggest disadvantage of the technique is that it is near to impossible to explain someone what a surface plasmon is;) No, I won't try.
Hmm, but for a drill like that, you'd need a drill made out of Unobtanium. With the current funding it will take years to develop! And the crew has to consist of at least a woman, a scientist, an astronaut, and a guy who dies.
Easily! Just look at my table number ERROR OBJECT DOES NOT EXIST and you'll see a nice list I made that shows the virtues cross-referencing in Word. Really, it is a pain. I found the best way to do layout in latex is to not. Just type along and leave the layout alone. Either your stuff will go to a publisher, which will take care of the final layout themselves, or you do the stuff only in the end.
Word and Openoffice is a pain because you never know what object you are changing, and where the bounds of certain markings are. Is it a link to an object? Is the object itself integrated? What if you copy the file to another machine, will the picture still be shown? It's horrible. Something like WordPerfect 5.1, with a source view would be excellent.
The excellent website Stupid Comics has a nice article about the sales of crappy comics compared to the sales of current comics. In absolute numbers, the crappiest of comics of those days sold up to 10 times more than any high quality comic now. I guess there was less competition in entertainment for kids. Also note how about half of the amount that was pressed was written off as "lost, not sold, or other reasons". I guess they precalculated dumping most of them into the price of the comic.
really, it seems to be about making a payphone yourself and then hacking it. Quite of useless. In any case the video halts for me after a minute or so, maybe a server overload? Or crappy video flash format.
Have to agree with you here. This is a case of false advertising if it isn't acpi compliant (there is no 90% compliant, or compliant if you use this-or-that software, all that is just non-compliant). I don't know about the slashdot readers that answer with "so what, just return it", but when I am looking for new hardware, I am very happy if people like him figure out who is trying to screw me with false claims, so I can skip these manufacturers from my list.

maybe they learned from asus that they can use their Linux userbase as a good card in their stack when dealing with Microsoft.

2) religious polarization, increased hatred against non-christians
3) increased support for conservative christian politicians and institutions
now that wasn't that hard, was it.
Or maybe he just wanted the attention and excitement, being an anthrax expert but no one using it, even in times of "war".

well, one of them is on vacation to Amsterdam at the moment, and the other one had his internet cut off because he was behind on his payments.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer... oh wait, some guys with a black van are at the door, I'll be back in a minute.

Stock usually goes up after massive layoffs, so stockholders could make a lot of profit from it.
Ha, you beat me to it, I watched the movie again yesterday! :)
