Take it as read, the mindset of the anti-global warming lot is similar to the creationists and their techniques follow the same pattern.
Same as big tobacco and their method for fighting the cancer story and big oil using the same method for fighting pollution and CO2. Same technique, different individuals.
Copying a physical creation takes time and skills. In the situation you outlined, manual copying is what kept the supply behind the demand and allowed the original creator and the copiers to exist in parallel. When mass production came in, starting with the printing press for books and then the industrial production lines, it became apparent that to copy something that had taken years to create initially could be done extremely rapidly. That's when the ideas of copyright and protection of the creator first started to take root.
The modern digital age has created the ability for certain things to be copied instantly and perfectly. Other things remain difficult to copy, look at the poor Chinese clones of quality electronics. Unfortunately this has lead simultaneously to the ideas that music/films/content *must* be free and damn the people who worked to create them, and that my creation must make me massive amounts of money for ever and ever and damn the people who can't afford to enjoy it.
I think the ideal answer to this lays somewhere between the 14 year limit originally defined and 25 years. Some protection is required, but not beyond a limited time period and not beyond the lifetime of the creator. (Screw my offspring, they can make their one money). And if we have to go lifetime, then corporations must adhere to a statistically-determined global human lifetime if they want to register copyrights.
Well, since this is a Javascript library, with readable source, that runs happily on Firefox without the.NET shark plugin and isn't dependent on any specific server backend, I fail to see what this has to do with.NET, ASPX or Mono.
Solid rockets are way less likely to explode than liquids. Their propellant burns from the inside outwards and only on the surface of the propellant core. The entire bulk of the propellant isn't burning at the same time. They are also much less likely to fail to produce 100% thrust since they don't have turbo-pumps, nozzle cooling ducts and mixer-ignition chambers like liquid rockets.
A liquid rocket can have a failure in any number of pipes, ducts, tanks and pumps leading to a catastrophic failure of the vehicle. And having multiple engines increases the number of points-of-failure. The Soviets learned that lesson the very hard way with the N1.
And lastly the reason for my reply. The USAF report is based on an abort of launch by detonation of the rocket by the range control officer, not on a catastrophic explosion of the launch vehicle. It is a damning report. Solids aren't the best, you cannot switch them off and because of that, if you have more than one, you're screwed if one doesn't fire. But they hardly ever fail. 264 ignitions, 264 full firings. 1 failure that wouldn't have caused a problem in a properly designed vertically stacked vehicle.
Two things, wonderful Freudian slip unless "improved" was intentional.
Second, the motion for bad installer is carried. Oracle 10g's Windows client installer cannot figure out that if I set my virtual memory to automatic, then I actually do have virtual memory and that it shouldn't fail with a suggestion that I set my virtual memory to bigger than 256MB.
It's a attempt at simplicity. Change one place, and one place only, on an entire application server and you switch from old DB server to new DB server. Cross-application, cross-language, all are changed instantly.
Even if an app is using a centralized configuration point, if you are running multiple small applications on the same server, it helps with keeping things straight.
This is so wrong I don't know where to start. If there was a -1 Wrong, I would have modded you down.
Gravity starts out much weaker than than the electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces, but gains over them as the amount of matter increases. That gain is why massive gas balls become stars when the gravity reaches fusion pressures, why electrons are punched into protons to form neutron stars at higher mass densities and eventually crushes protons out of existence at black hole densities.
It isn't the anti-particle that causes the loss in mass/energy. It is the loss of one member of the virtual pair. It doesn't matter whether the anti-particle or particle escapes, as long as the pair fails to recombined and rebalance the energy.
Energy is expended to form the pair and the black hole expects it back when they recombine. When one particle is on the other side of the event horizon, recombination fails to happen and the black hole is left with an energy deficit. This is the evaporation.
Low mass black holes have a smaller Schwartzchild radius, so the gap between the particles is more likely to be across the event horizon and allows one member to escape, therefore allowing smaller holes to evaporate faster.
City personnel were assigned to take over the running of the FiberWAN network. He was informed of this and refused to grant them access to the network. Whether he felt they were incompetent or not, he had no authorization under any policy or law to do this. Therefore he was preventing those individuals from doing their jobs.
You can pluck at semantics all day long, it doesn't undo the fact that other people were assigned by management to take over the running of the network and he actively denied them the access needed to do this.
What, so we're not allowed to point out the way things should be done just because they don't fall into a narrow definition of a question posed. Nice rigid and frozen world you live in.
If this had been a discussion around a dinner table or water cooler, you'd be trying to rein it in and stop people from brainstorming just because it has strayed away from the original premise. Welcome to real life my friend.
And try understanding what he said before jumping on your high horse.
He was explaining that warning from orbit was a terrible implementation of a satellite based system for tsunamis and went on to explain a good way of doing it.
My Golf 1.8 manual can hit 55km/h speedometer speed in first gear before the engine redlines. It's amazing what it can do when it hits the high torque band at 4500 to 6500 rpm.
I can't guarantee it won't stall if the accelerator is stuck down at pulloff. Probably would. Never tried it out.
That's just a new part of Superfetch. Windows 7 knows you're about to move the mouse, so it warms it up.
Seriously though, how flexible is your floor, could easily be shifting the floorboards. Dunno about its usability for quakes though, you're missing at least one axis of movement and probably magnitude in the remaining ones.
If I want to buy from you for $10 and then resell at $5, that is a free market if I'm willing to take the hit. You get your money and I get my customers. If you come to me and say that I have to sell at $15 because you found someone else who wants to sell at $15 and you don't want my business to undermine their business, I have every right to keep selling at $5 or, horror of horrors, drop you because you ain't worth the pain. Pure and simple free market principles. I know my customers, I know my suppliers and it is my job to balance the two out.

Great reading more into a sentence than is there.

1. Bible said earth is flat
Nope, religious individuals claimed this. Not explicitly stated in the Bible.
2. Bible said earth is center of the universe (Copernicus)
Also not explicitly claimed in the text. Another claim by individuals.
3. Bible said god created all living beings (Darwin)
This is in the bible. The literalists insist it is direct creation, the remainder take the story as metaphor.
4. Bible said sun is center of the universe
Also not explicitly claimed in the text. Another claim by individuals once the earth bit was disproved.
5. Bible said earth is only 5000-10000 years old
The bible doesn't claim this. It does not put a date on Genesis and Bishop Usher added ages of people together to get to his answer.
If you're going to tackle this issue, please get the differences between what the book says and what individual religious people claim right.
So you're the bugger causing the impurities in my recycled aluminium ingots. You know how much you're costing me to melt and electro-purify them?
Consider that for about 480 of the 500 years, this wasn't a major issue with the general public.
It's only in the Internet years that the campaigns have reached a level that made an impact with the upper levels of the hierarchy.

Yes, but Google is trying to take over the world, not just Afghanistan, which is way less that 10% of the landmass of Earth.

Competitor designs actually. Chernobyl was a RBMK design, graphite moderated with (at Chernobyl) no containment structure worthy of the name.
VVER reactors are pressurized boiling water reactors comparable with Western designs and with containment structures that pass Western standards.
ISDN my friend, ISDN.
It is anti-free market.
If I want to buy from you for $10 and then resell at $5, that is a free market if I'm willing to take the hit. You get your money and I get my customers.

Saw this debate start earlier this week on Schlock Mercenary's site http://www.schlockmercenary.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/04/dear-mister-bezos-are-you-still-all-mad-and-stuff/. Seems like the author found the discussion heading away from the self-righteous line he wanted and killed it.
Don't think he realized how many of his readers are consumers who want the best price for something.
Ah, come on.
