Because Aluminum is an element, Alumina is a compound.
The previous story was about a ceramic, this seems to be more of a particle physics experiment which yielded something neat for 40 femtoseconds.
I had an economics instructor who was desperate to stretch everything to fit his social justice theories. He managed to make microeconomics much more complicated and less elegant by trying to fit it to his imagination-land. I think there are a lot of ideologies which fundamentally rely on self-delusion and are going to wreck any other discipline or field of study that they touch.
There exists such a thing as dispersion shifted fiber and dispersion compensating units. Generally the limiting factor on your distance is your optical signal to noise ratio which will decrease with each additional amplifier you add to the system until you have to put a transponder in to do a retime reshape and retransmit for each fiber.
If you then proceed to eat it, you may be able to avoid jail completely and go to a mental institution whilst writing a book which makes you a millionaire! The downside is, you have to eat a human heart.
Not really, they'd have lower accident rates due to the dual influence of not paying claims for people on the phone while driving, and their dumbest customers leaving as a result.
They could afford to lower their rates, and consequently would attract customers like me who won't answer the phone whilst driving, do appreciate someone trying to make the roads safer, and definitely do appreciate lower rates.
Irregular combatants, terrorists and random extremist militias should be protected, just not by the Geneva conventions. I'm struggling to come up with a car analogy here, but basically trying to shoe-horn them into a law/treaty that wasn't created with them in mind makes little sense when there are already other laws which would protect them in this country. As far as what happens outside of the country, I think the ballot box is the best, maybe only, answer to that.
Sounds like someone who knew some german but didn't know Oetztal wasn't spelled that way translated it 'back' to an umlaut and then someone else dropped the umlaut.
I've seen this happen to Goethe a few times.
Software routing/switching isn't going to touch a hardware solution for speed and reliability.
Unix routers have their place, but they can't do big pipes.
Actually, it is a crime in Honduras.
The law says anyone who proposes any extension to the term beyond what is set out by law must step down from public office. It's an anti-Caesar law.
It's when they horde(sic) it away that truly screws the poor.
Really?
Nobody just puts millions under their mattress. They invest it. They buy some tax-free municipal bonds and the city gets some cheap financing to pay off some overbudgeted new intersection buildouts or city park or whatever. They buy into a mutual fund and 100s of companies get a little more financing to fund expansion, new plants, acquisitions, etc.
I'll tell you what overwhelmingly screws the poor. Lotteries, rent-to-own, drug use and drug-using relatives who leech, credit card debt, etc. Bernie Madoff isn't keeping my neighbors down, 9 times out of 10 they are. Let's not forget to mention the common attitude that it isn't cool to be smart, study, work hard and try to get ahead. I'm not saying it's the poor's fault that they are poor, but I am saying that anyone who makes it ahead has had to overcome a lot more cultural barriers from within the lower class than from without.
ISPs don't maintain or upgrade any infrastructure but the last mile, and the last mile is not what is making them use caps.
The immense cost of the Gig ethernet or OC12 or whatever layer 2 connection they are bringing into that local ISP is prohibitive, even if you ignore the fact that the ISP has to have some great massive layer 3 hardware to connect it to somewhere.
The Telecoms selling those OC12s and Gig Ethernets and whatnot do plenty of upgrades and maint. They could upgrade a local ISPs trunk connection to 2.5 gbit or 10gbit with no problem. It just won't be cheap. The hardware is very expensive, the fiber is very expensive, the space in Central Office collocations is expensive, the labor of people who know how to engineer and operate these networks is expensive.
Basically, if you want 8 mbits down 1 mbit up non-stop for a month as advertised, be prepared to pay 10x as much for it.
If you want honesty and consistency from your ISP, be prepared to get x/10 bandwidth.
Personally, I think high burst speeds with caps for overall transfer are a good compromise, if only they were more honest about it.
That's pretty condescending and ignorant towards thousands of people marching and risking death for their own freedom and right to representation.
The West thinks in binary terms: free/not-free.
Life is more complicated than that.
Maybe life isn't more complicated than that, people just try and make it so with their excuses and delusions.
I say the peaceful protests in Tehran should be an example to people who are either apathetic or violent when confronted with problems. They seem to be following in the footsteps of Ghandi or MLK.

Better hope Henry Louis Gates isn't one of the freeloaders that's been taking up an entire table all morning....

Hah, you know I started to type it that way and thought "That looks stupid, there's no way that's the ticker."
Apparently APPL was taken.
Plus your macbook probably only allows you to check stock prices on APPL anyway.
You can blame anything on anyone if you want to badly enough.
P.S. The sky isn't falling either.

Not really. Fiber, not copper. It won't become a magnet.
Undersea lines of any significant length, say over 100 km, will have electrical lines inside them to power inline erbium doped fiber amplifiers.

More like the EU will get their cut of the money and things will continue they way they are going.
unaccountable entities whose primary responsibility is profit.
You mean people?
Maybe we can put those skiing robots in charge and have utopia.

This sounds like trying to fix a fading/cracked dashboard with a fuel additive.

Don't think Prius or Formula 1, think City Bus or WW2 Submarine.
B) We've already spent X dollars
One (and only one) of these is a legitimate reason to continue the project.

Probability of a major earthquake if google does not drill: 1
If there is a quake, at least it will release some tension now rather than a year from now when it will be greater.
If you've got more X's than Y's then you're genetically female and vice versa.
I think the only way to have more Y's than X's is to be from west virginia or european royalty.
