A better example are the different interpretations of quantum physics. They are "interpretations" because they take the mathematical theory and try to form a conceptual model for it.
Unless you have arrhythmia (poor heart rhythm), palpitations are not serious. Palpitations are basically a mental symptom -- abnormal awareness of your heart rhythm. This awareness can be borne of several sources, but only one (the heart) is dangerous.
It would be better if you rode the bus to the library. But that would be inconvenient. It says a lot about the issue that everybody (except all the kneejerk "skeptics" that will soon post on this story) cares about curbing greenhouse gases, but nobody is willing to make the troublesome lifestyle changes necessary to make a real difference.
How many aircraft is that? Seriously, I don't know. But I do know that the average age of airplanes in service is about 20 years. Not longer than gcc has been around, but long enough that they would be using a proprietary compiler. (Especially since gcc seriously sucked then)
They will soon. Apple doesn't want to pay people to babysit legacy servers. And they don't want bad PR about something people actually care about: their iPods.
We obviously need a stronger judicial system. I suggest creating a judicial office to maintain a small army of judges and attorneys to constantly investigate and audit every government official, essentially at random, though paying particular attention to certain important positions. Also, I suggest that any elected government official found guilty of a felony while in office should be hung.
I might have to behave myself for four years, but this might become my platform.
Just curious why it is critically important for the characters to be in public domain? People will still make money off them if they are in public domain but the parent company will likely loose business and have to lay off people. Why? Why does the public have rights over and above the creator?
Newsflash: Walt Disney, the creator, is dead. His rights have expired, with him.
If it happens during his term, and he doesn't do anything to help, you're damn right he'll be blamed. George Bush doesn't care about ash-covered people.
It follows from the prime decomposition theorem -- that every number is a product of primes. (Or, more-or-less equivalently, Euclid's algorithm)
The proof is essentially a "counting proof". Collect any finite list of primes, and one can construct a number that is not divisble by any of them.
For example, if p_1... p_n are prime, N = (p_1 x... x p_n) + 1 isn't divisble by any of them. Which means that it is prime, or there is a prime number (that isn't in the list) that does divide your new number N.
Quantum cryptography is secure by virtue of actual physical laws. Unless we are all living in the Matrix or some weird-ass crap like that, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it's secure.
Even if we were in the Matrix, it would still be secure. Yes, "the machine" could change physical laws (conceivably), but the machine already runs your life. So it doesn't matter if it sees your dumb bank code. Replace "the machine" with "God" if you are so inclined. Unless the machine/God-figure decides to reveal your secrets, nobody will see them.
Information security is about access to information. So is epistemology. Who knew!
I agree completely. Aside from language reference books (a dime-a-dozen) and the web, I primarily use Mathematics texts books as my primary reference works. Lattice and Category theory are very helpful for understanding database design and algorithms -- an inner join on database tables is join of "sub-tables" in the Dedekind-MacLane completion of the lattice of "sub-tables", for example.
Combinatorics are helpful when analyzing algorithms in general. Category theory and some first order logic (quantifying over categories) gives you a sound and rich theory of types (or you can develop an equivalent one in about a million different ways). Never mind the domain specific problems I've worked on, including statistical analyses of large amounts of data.
For most computing domains, a CS degree is overrated. A Mathematics degree gets you 90% of the way there, and gives you so much more.
Oh, I see. I just put a call to mount my share in a launchd config file and let the Finder deal with the details of using it. OS X sees the ssh file system as a mount in/Volumes, and treats it like any other disk (image).

Candlejack, is that y
If Apple just want to get big among costumers all they need to do is to start selling the OS and applications for any computer.
That worked so well before, last time Apple was in a similar situation.
Corruption scandal? Merely having a conflict of interests is not unethical.
I'd be pretty annoyed by that painting too. LSD is neat and all, but Hoffman was a world class pain researcher and microchemist.

Not quite. The Sony that makes TVs is not the same company as the one that sells music. They share little more than the name.
Not true. Sony Corp. owns the Sony Group, and has a direct historical and managerial relationship with them.
The criminals do not care because they were criminals to begin with.
Proof please.

My monthly Tri-Met pass says differently. Dick.
Wrapping webkit does not constitute a re-write. If you like Chrome, thank Apple, to a lesser extent, KDE, and finally, Google.

You wrote code to prevent an alien invasion? Nice, can I have a patch?
Oh, you mean what you did wasn't verifiable, much unlike Y2K bug fixes. I see.

Galois does high assurance computation for the NSA, and others. (Which is to say, the NSA expects Galois to do theorem proving on their code)
Does anybody have any good information about Cryptol? Is it a Haskell subset/extension? Most of what I know about Galois is in relation to Haskell.

Yeah, that and this process didn't work too well in Mrs. Rieser's job hunt.
Look, an internet tough guy responding to a troll!
Can I make you my LOLCOW? I bet you can't help but responding.
However, I had to flip between 2 or 3 menus to setup my desktop switches!
And this is why I chose XMonad over Gnome or KDE at work. xmonad.hs FTW.
