It's not Bush who's torturing and killing tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, it's Al Qaeda and the Baathists - the very people some on the left would like to see us turn the country over to. Unfortunately enough in the American public are gullible enough to accept it as being Bush's fault.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4692589.stm Nearly 25,000 civilians have died violently in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003, a report says.
The Dossier on Civilian Casualties in Iraq 2003-2005 says 37% of all non-combatant deaths were caused by the US-led coalition.
Whether you are for the war or not, you have to admit, that Bush's decision to go to war, has killed tens of thousands people.
Innocent civillians are always caught up in war.
Bush made the decision, therefore its his fault.
Unfortunately enough in the American public are gullible enough to accept it as being Bush's fault.
The problem is that large amount of Americans don't care about the innocent civillians that get killed by all their wars, as long as they are not American.
Some scientists like to show that they are "hot" by publishing long lists of equations...
I have to take offense to that.
I hardly think scientist publish long list of equations because they think its "hot".
The equations need to be published so that when the time comes and someone wants to build on their work, then the formulism is their for the community.
No, the equation you have quoted you have misinterpreted.
The mass defined here is the effective mass,
the full equation is E^2=(pc)^2 + mc^2.
Where m = m_0 {sqrt[1-(v/c)^2]}^(-1),
and m_0 is the rest mass, the mass a particle has when it is not moving. So for a particle with mass, at rest, then the equation is E=m_0 c^2.
But for a photon, which doesn't have mass, m_0=0, and the second term is zero, all its energy comes from the first term, so E=pc, momentum times the speed of light.
If a photon had mass, and as photons always travel at the speed of light, then the term in {} would be 0, and hence the mass infinite, so the only solution of the equation is for the photon to have zero rest mass.
So therefore, anything which travels at the speed of light, eg photons, cannot have mass, and vice-versa, anything with mass cannot travel at the speed of light, as its effective mass becomes infinite, and hence needs an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it to the speed of light.
It is not generally accepted that photons have mass, they are generally believed to have no mass.
The bending of light around large objects is not due to the planet excerting a force due to gravity on the photon, but instead the presence of the planet bending the space-time around the planet, then the photon travels in a straight line through this curved space-time.
This means that the photon does not need to have mass to be bent by light.
void AccumulateLoopCount(int N) {
int accumulator = 0;
#pragma omp parallel do reduction(+:accumulator)
for (int i = 1; i N; ++i) {
accumulator += i;
}
return accumulator;
}
Very easy to parallelise this, each thread has its own private accumulator, initialised to zero, and the result from each thread is summed at the end. I don't see where this massive performance or memory hit would come from.
In the world (Britain, France, and Germany) where 1 billion = 1 million million (1x10^12), then 1 trillion = 1 million billion (1x10^18) or another way 1 trillion = 1 million million million (tri-million), or million cubed, to the power of three, as in tri.
In the parts of the wolrd (US & Canada) where 1 billion = 1000 million (1x10^9), then 1 trillion = 1 million million (1x10^12) so 1 trillion = 1000 billion.
As it is an American lab, it will be 1x10^12.
Personally, i feel the Americans just like their numbers sounding bigger.
What else do you propose? Spelling by dictatorship?
You know, everything that isn't a democracy is not always a dictatorship.
How about spelling by educated people rather than appealing to the lowest common denominator.

I'm finding your British spelling slightly annoying too:P
That's only because they can't spell,
when enough people can't spell a word properly,
they just change the word to match.
Woohoo, spelling by democracy.
I live in the states and have a number in my old homeland the UK using VoIP.
lingo.com can let you have numbers in many coutries around the world.
Also on a side note, SBC have been calling me twice a day trying to get me back, but I have a handy feature of diverting calls from specific numbers.
They now call themselves twice a day:)
Whomever it was (I think it was Alex St. John) that convinced Bill Gates that "multimedia" on Windows shouldn't just mean being able to play/edit video but also games (and therefore the impetus for DirectX) should be given credit for the stranglehold on the market Windows has today.
And i think it is this, that is the only way linux gaming will ever truely become mainstream.
Someone has to go after Microsofts monopoly on the gaming PC market they way they have over other multimedia components.

Yeah right, lol, like anyone wants to hear a loud alarm on New Years Day.

Yeah, and kids aren't smart enough to realise that if they say that, then stupid adults buy into it, and they shun some of the responsibility.
Yeah like this story.....
US man shot his postman so that he would get sent to prison for life and escape his crippling medical debts, investigators say.
Then you have to figure out how to explain to her why you were masturbating to Rhino's humping.
If you only take the 5 boroughs of New York, then yes there is 8,085,742 people.
Columbus, OH = 728,432 people.
Source http://www.citypopulation.de/USA.html
But if you look at the metropolitan population, ie local area but spread beyond the city limits, then the figures are
NYC = 18,640,775 people
Colombus, OH = 1,674,589 people.
Source http://www.citypopulation.de/USA-Metro.html
Then the rest of New York State outside of the New York City Metro area makes up less than 1 million people.

Yes i would much rather have companies paying that money to tell me what to buy, or the government paying the newscasters to tell us what to think.
Link please?
I think he was refering to Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) and David Cobb (Green) being arrested at the presidential debate.
Spelling is usually the first clue though.
We are all agreed that 1 million = 1x10^6.
In the world (Britain, France, and Germany) where 1 billion = 1 million million (1x10^12), then 1 trillion = 1 million billion (1x10^18) or another way 1 trillion = 1 million million million (tri-million), or million cubed, to the power of three, as in tri.

As it is an American lab, it will be 1x10^12.

What, you mean the stuff we get has had most of the crap screened out.
Then it won't be considered 'super' any more, as there will be even faster computers out there.
Marco!
Redirect the call from spammers to one of the other spammers that calls me, so now the spammers are just all calling each other.
Don't know if all VoIP services have individual phone number redirecting, but i use Lingo, and they do :)
Unless you had the first model, broke the damn screen dropping that one :(
