Well you have to start by making sure that all practical applications will at least have a webinterface supported by firefox, safari and opera otherwise your little crusade will stop right when you step out of your door.
In there initial form, laws where an agreement of a society. You didn't need to agree but the consequence was that you got banned or slaughterd (outlawed).
The agreements where in the form of: don't kill me - I won't kill you.
Today's laws are more complicated, mostly unnecessary and sometimes not in the best interest of the society as a whole. Of course it gets impossible to uphold the law.
Well thats the point I think that Mpemba effect is indeed nothing else then an influence in the identical cooling mechanism.
Otherwise it would work too when you have 2 _sealed_ container of water the one being 160 and the other 120 degrees celsius, that the 160 one will be the quickest to room temperature in a open environment.
Well my logic indicates that this phenomena occurs when the thermo dynamics takes place in a closed and small environment.
Thus my theory: "If any matter is in a state where it can enrich its environment with its own or others matter, the environment will be more capable to equalize the energy difference between the matter and the environment then it could before the enrichment."
In this case hot water makes the air in the freezer more humidit, therefor conducting more heat thus cooling down faster. When the freezer is opened the humidit air escapes and leaves scientist clueless why the water froze faster then calculated.
How to test this logic: - Take 2 identical relative small containers. - Have access to a freeze room (as big as there is) and a freeze box. - Make sure they are the same temperature and have the same freezing curve, meaning the small box has relative more freezing power (aaah!). - Boil some water, vodka, juice whatever you like. - Put the exact amount in each container and put one container in the middle and center of the room and one in the middle and center of the box. - Measure which one is the first to be solid.
If my theory is correct the container in the small box would solid faster because the environment in the small box has relative more energy transfer potential then the one of the big room. Because the small box has relative more cooling power (most small freezer do) it can use the potential higher energy transfer to cool down the matter faster.
This theory doesn't apply when the matter can not enrich the environment with its own matter enough to create more energy transfer potential, be it that the amount of matter is to small or the environment is too big and even when the first is met, the cooling equipment must be powerful enough to use the potential.
Now taken this true, we can follow the logic that when the conditions are met, it is potential possible that the temperature difference between hot and warm water is countered by the higher energy transfer capacity of the air, thus resulting that the "warmer" water freezes at the same time or earlier then the "colder" water.
The M.P.Hellwig theory to explain the Mpemba effect, now say that five time fast after each other:-)
Well I am the network administrator on a high-school and the most effective solution to prevent damaging of the systems was to educate the *TEACHERS*.
Besides that, the student geeks on my school are mostly gamers and by allowing every 2 to 3 month a school-only lan party they are quit carefull these days on "their" hardware. Of course I get asked alot of times what the Administrator password is, I always respond that I would tell them what it was last week. To be honest I don't know the Administrator password, I blocked that account name ages ago....
Yeah well making fun of floating point math, here at slashdot is not the most intelligent thing to do, some people over here tend to be a bit sensitive about it.;-)
Don't worry if your competent or not, your boss will be the judge of that.
However if you would like to be not in an uncertain position you better find out your interest and competents. Perhaps getting in contact with a good headhunter is not that bad of an idea, but hey who am I telling if get a Msc. CS you could figure that out by yourself.
Well, I don't need a gui, but my administrator and users might. They find the OsX gui more userfriendly then the various other gui incarnations. Since they already used to windows they get windows. I give them what they want, if they wanted linux, that is what they get. If I'm forced to switch the next best is OsX, I'm the servent not the master.
MacOSX being the next on my server and desktop if I must replace XP/2003. I have users to serve the users are not there to serve me, it's my task to automate their repitive tasks and give them tools they can comprehend. And yes, the administrator is also a user to me, everybody can be replaced if organized well (including myself), though you could still miss them .
Slashdot Mirror
Yes and when we have it all we can call in Multics and say that is computer power out of a outlet!
It would be as simple plugging in your lava lamp!

Perhaps you never had a watch with a light and glow in the dark strips in it?
Virus, well not being administrator or root by default will help.
''' "Expert?" The dude can't even spell "LZW" correctly. The guy's a joke. '''
When Joel judges, he knows where he judges about.
You my friend, clearly do not.
Then the second question would be in what language, the answer would be:

Well thats the problem with a fast brain, you notice the flickering ;-)
"How do you think Slashdotters reproduce?"
There is no way you can have the words: "think", "slashdotters" and "reproduce" in 1 sentence without having at least 1 impossibility.
As long as the PhD don't doo the cooking, fine with me. :-)

"but which has not been proved"
Now that is a hypothesis, my theory has been proven a dozen of times in restaurants kitchens.
Well my logic indicates that this phenomena occurs when the thermo dynamics takes place in a closed and small environment.

In other news: Ice Yacht's often go faster then the actual windspeed.

Edison too, but he would probably redefine "within a day" to make it possible.

Try to use the appropriate tool at the right time at the right moment.
What is appropriate depends on the situation and your experience.
"But whining and running off to another OS isn't going to fix them."
Well the problem is fixed for him isn't?
What! You are reading slashdot AND you are from earth?! ;-)

Well it's all in his head, in the mean time typing 42 takes not that much resources.
