If the planet is a Super Jupiter and it's 330 au out, that star must be something like 100au, does anyone actually know? I couldn't see it in the article.
If people will commit fraudulent behavior, then what of the regulations themselves and the people who enforce them? This is the naivety I'm talking about; you are loathe to trust a corporation (I'd say you shouldn't trust anybody) but you merrily trust the government.
No, I don't trust the government, but I trust a corporation even less because a corporation is legally obliged to follow a course of action that maximises shareholder value. Regulations is only necessary because of the flaws in corporation law, if you want to do away with government regulation and interference in business affairs, then make companies liable for their externalities and then the market would truly be free. This is the naivety I was talking about, instead of fixing corporate law so it is relevant to the twenty first century you advocate reams of ineffectual laws so that corporations maintain their protection to go on plundering the taxpayer of their wealth? The system is broken, either fix it or put additional regulation in place to bring things into balance. If you don't do it the financial system will continue to suffer collapses like this and people loose confidence investing their money in it.
The difference between a business and government is obvious--you elect to deal with a business, but the government is there whether you like it or not, and democracy doesn't work at all like it's popularly envisioned; oligarchy structures emerge (political parties) and most people aren't aware of the issues and don't care, anyway--to say nothing of two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner!
Yes, yes and democracy is a well armed sheep contesting the vote. You have a few things backwards there, you don't elect business, you elect government - I didn't elect to do business with Lehman Brothers but my investments will suffer because of it.
Haha, the airline industry is an excellent model for financial systems and hospitals *giggle*....?
So you'd prefer an airline industry run like our financial systems, flawed and prone to big crashes.
Who said anything about voting? There are better things to do with your time then selecting reinforcing the lies of sociopaths and sweet-talkers.
The Oligarch that has emerged beyond the political realm exists precisely *because* of that disillusionment towards the political system, people don't participate because they don't think they can have an effect on the corruption, which is exactly what the plutocracy wants.
Great false dichotomy--either pass regulations or create corporate welfare to provide a safety net for irresponsible behavior on the part of financial institutions.
It's how things are. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were just bailed out, and you have Lehman Brothers bankrupt and AIG about to go to the wall, with who knows how many other horror stories out there. It's not a sustainable market and it is failing and frankly I don't like either choice, but at least with regulation the taxpayer only pays once.
Thanks for the fun fact.
Anyway, the disincentive for risky speculation is potential loss of money; bailouts take out that disincentive.
In the housing market, a lot of blame goes not to the banks but to the people accepting loans they couldn't pay off of.
You're joking right, there is no more bailouts, didn't Lehman Brothers show you that, let's see if AIG get's bailed out. Even Greenspan said 'worst financial conditions in 150 years, even worse than the great depression'. So if you've been trying to get a loan and constantly get refused you're not going to accept that money cause you *might* not be able to pay it off or take the risk. The government is the blame or the people are the blame, it's everyone's fault except the company who couldn't refuse those interest payments.
I find the "oversight over the free market" comment more hilarious, though. Always the desire for some higher power, be it your parents, government, or God to come and save the day. If you have a government overseeing everything then you just have one big possible point of failure as opposed to just smaller points of failure.
I'm sorry, I find this comment naive. Capitalism only works well when the financial system is "well" regulated and the systems are fair. What I mean by ""well regulated" is the rules are refined, redundant rules are weeded out and new rules are implemented. The reason for this is that some people are dishonest (and worse) and will commit fraudulent behaviour. If you don't have structure and rules in financial markets then people can't have confidence in those markets. This is what has brought about the situation in American markets today.
For a good example look at how the airline industry works, it's how we should run financial systems and hospitals too.
Look, I know you're probably young, idealistic, and ready to march to the polls ready to vote for Barack Obama like your sociology professor instructed you to do,
So who should he vote for? It's well known McCain's economic credentials are lacklustre at best even to an external observer. If it's a 'party' philosophy then it appears that the American republican party's financial policies is what got you guys into this situation in the first place cause I'm pretty sure Bush started with a budget surplus. btw I'm Australian and keep an interested eye on US UK and Europe's political systems because it affects us.
but massive government oversight of peoples' lives and dealings, whether they be business or personal (not like the distinction is meaningful or real) is ever really a just or good idea.
Well it's either regulation before the fact or taxpayer dollars to bail out financial irresponsibility after. It's fairly obvious that there has been too much risk taken and if everyone keeps speculating on the value of a market then eventually something is going to call it. In Aussie we had American Federal Reserve bank officials over here some months ago investigating the regulatory controls that are in place in the Australian financial system that make Sarbanes Oxley irrelevant.
The American economy maybe bigger than the Aussie, but, as we are much more conservative than you guys we *impose* regulation because we know that some people are going to 'get creative' with financial controls for their own gain. Consequently Australia has been one of the only western economies still growing, so strong regulatory control can't be such a bad thing. I doubt we will come out of 'meltdown monday' unscathed though.
Let's just hope America can continue to afford science and space missions, cause I'm a big fan!!!
The Sky and Telescope article even includes a reference to the original paper describing the phenomenon. I suggest you read that article instead. It is much more interesting!
If anonymity is to be sacrificed then liability for Identity Theft should become a real recourse. Compromising someone's anonymity is the first logical step in compromising their identity. All arguments about free speech aside, I think anonymity is something that has protected the vast majority of internet users from the lax security standards of most organisations that collect identity information.
I mean once an organization a users identity, it's easy to make the argument to track their usual IP location, their mobile device and any trace back data that might come in handy - if it's available. Surely having all this data collected in various places would increase the vectors for attack and validation and make it much easier for identity theft to occur.
So basically once the ramifications of this law is understood businesses will want their data to be separate from anyone else's data because *they* might infringe. So there will be a lot more machines and virtual machines in data centres.
So now not only is the RIAA/MPAA stifling innovation in I.T and their own industry, but every other industry has to compensate them with indirect costs.
Ever notice how a company representative is 'Not available for comment' when a company fucks up or is an asshole about something.

Apple: I'm sorry, there is no one available to comment at the moment
J: Well ok what about someone in the management team
Apple: I'm sorry, they're not available to comment at the moment
J: Well ok what about someone in the legal department
Apple: I'm sorry, they're not able to comment at the moment
J: marketing teams?
Apple: I'm sorry, they're at lunch

J: Oh for goodness sake, no one is "available" to make a comment about Kane Kramer?
Apple: I'm sorry, everyone's too busy to make a comment
J: What about you, can you make a comment?
Apple: I'm sorry, I'm not available to make a comment at this time

And thus is a demonstration of how Microsoft treats the most important business. Anything requiring serious uptime you should not consider using Microsoft products, I'm surprised that an organisation with a reputation of the London Stock exchange took such a risk.

The diet consists of lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and up to 2 servings of meat a day; dairy should be low-fat or non-fat. In other words, lots of vitamins, fiber, and complex carbs. Moderate protein content, low in fat and sodium.
That's basically my diet, I eat loads of fruit though about 6-10 peices a day. I was trying to work out why I crave sweet stuff like fruit all the time, now I know why. I avoid sugar, salt and give processed food a big miss. I like to work out because there is nothing worse than having a tired brain but a body that won't sleep.
The only thing remaining in the NPT for non-nuclear nations is some help on power generation. I can't see it lasting long; we may see countries withdrawing en masse in the future.
The whole point of the NNPT was that countries could access nuclear technology by relinquishing their access or intention to develop a nuclear weapons program. India originally didn't sign because it wanted the right to develop nuclear weapons, the international response was to not supply India with nuclear technology. India responded by developing a string of (some failed) nuclear power plants across their country to develop the technology internally.
Q. If India's intention is to only develop power for peaceful purposes then why not just sign the NNPT?
A. Because America wants to use India as a test bed for new nuclear technologies for when the political climate is more favourable in the U.S toward nuclear power plants.
A. Because India *still* maintains the right to develop a nuclear arsenal.
Neither of these political goals can be achieved unless there is a formal program to allow supply to India of nuclear technology. While I am not particularly concerned that India would use nuclear weapons first, I have *no doubt* that India would use Nukes if provoked, especially by Pakistan. This is not a good development in terms of reducing weapons stockpiles and considering the U.S establishing a nuclear warning system in Europe, it appears the stage is set for a new, multi-front, Cold war.
I grew up with a Cold war, it's a shame we can't do any better for our children.

I've been wondering how much of the ice breaking up is caused by drought and a lack of snowfall. If it is the case that these ice break-ups are actually being caused by a lack of snowfall *replenishing the ice* that has been melting. It might be the case that this ice is melting at an accelerated rate, but because the ice is being replenished at a diminished rate the actual break-up of ice is happening faster.
Global dimming is known to reduce evaporation and reduce rainfall, so surely it must reduce snowfall as well(?). I'm saying this because there maybe more that we can do to control immediate particulate emissions that cause global dimming than carbon emissions.
Also, there's the 'patriotic' view of this and the fact that the U.S. owes China dearly as a trade partner. Import import import import and export nothing. This would be further propagating that, thus hurting the dollar a tiny bit more.
Well just to put things into perspective, the lack of an ability to compete with American Technology was one of the things that brought the Soviet Union down. I'm not saying that China's technology would be better than US technology only that if they have an ability to compete with an advantage it would lend them the same type of advantage that the US had over the Soviet Union.
Sorry I don't have a link to the article I read about this, it was a long time ago, and might have even been on, !shock!, paper.
C level execs don't even talk a language that can frame software quality into a meaningful concept. It's a CIO's job because they would recognise that as a factor and translate it into points that the other execs could understand.
You say "software quality is a real problem because we will have to re-implement systems a few years down the track"
They say "We have some challenges that can dictate our capacity to grow in the 5 to 10 year timeframe"
same thing - different language. You should think of a CIO as a translator to the execs otherwise it will never happen. They would map it out in a non-confrontational time frame (say 10 - 15 years) including other drivers of the business groups in a setting that allows them to conceptualise their ideas for growth and expansion of the business. Then you work backwards from there and set markers in time that show you where you should be, until you reach the present. Only then will they have a hope of understanding.
Until the drivers of the business understand what it means to them, nothing will happen, and if you don't have a CIO that recognises this (if at all) then you are screwed. Manufacturing always has this issue and they are typically short sighed when it comes to IT so unless the stakeholders are driving it, or you can figure out how to make them, learn to live with it.
We're sorry, but the Democratic process in America does not support freedom of choice. Please try again with a candidate that conforms to the ideals we dictate. If you don't like this numbing your brain with your drug of choice and crying into your pillow at night may also work.
Can you even access slashdot from within China? Seems to me if you are in China you have 'No Rights On-line', come to think of it, if you are in China you have 'No Rights At-All'.
Now we know what it is like to live under a government that the people fear. A government so concerned about loosing face in the Olympics that they did everything they could do to embarrass themselves and prove what everyone has been saying about them all along. That they are a group of thugs prepared to subdue anyone that gets in their way. I'm sure you'll censor that Mr Hu Jintao. president of a Totalitarian State.
So now English citizens can look forward to having their freedoms raped in the name of 'Protecting the Olympics from Terrorism legislations' and the television stations can conclude their coverage with 'We will now return you to your regularly scheduled apathy'.
I don't see why my post is modded as a troll. Not enough was said about China suppressing Tibet during the Olympics and that's what it is, suppression. China has been occupying Tibet for a long time, intimidating Taiwan and it's own people. This is not a criticism of the Chinese people who at the moment don't have the voice to stop their own government from doing these things or a lulled into apathy by the western way of life. There is a different kind of wisdom in the west, it comes from people who are prepared to continue to challenge oppression.
The Beijing Olympics have proved beyond a doubt that China is not a communist state, it is a Totalitarian state. The Chinese government proved what they set out to disprove. My image of the Olympics will be the Chinese special police surrounding the Olympic flame in every country, fake fireworks, the national anthem being mimed, excluding athletes because they weren't pretty enough and finally banning a few protest songs. The Chinese Government has brought shame on themselves by proving they are what they say they are not, by proving they could not rise above their own brutality and not exploring - even for a moment - if another way could work for their people. It truly proves how fragile the Chinese leaderships ideals are, that even the most flimsy dissent, even from another country, cannot be tolerated.
Whereas before I was ambivalent towards Chinese government I am certain now.The emperor has no clothes.
Simple analogy: I say to you "why are you always complaining about me?", and you reply "No I don't. I also complain about my wife. I'm not singling you out."
Sydney it's not about the Chinese or American's as a people it's about the governments. People around the world including myself marvel at the grace and beauty of Chinese culture, even I love "journey to the west".
But it doesn't mean I'm going to behave meekly when confronted with the oppression of the Chinese government, because challenging oppression everywhere is the way to freedom everywhere.
The last protest I saw in China turned bloody, and it was a telling message of what the Chinese government is prepared to do. If the Chinese people aren't still being oppressed, then why haven't we seen any protests?
Ever since WW2 governments have been have been using Hitler's techniques for controlling population.
Come to think of it, China is actually really bad at oppressing people... Every time they jail somebody, the whole world points their fingers at them. Heck, even Yahoo is getting a lot of flame for assisting the Chinese government.
Good, there should be more of it.
I mean, the USA is much more successful with Guantanamo... As for censorship, China has much to learn from the USA on how to censor things without people noticing, how to control the media yet making it seem "free".
So you actually don't disagree with me then and it's not a myth. Do you think that just because America does something bad it's right for China to do something 'not quite as bad'.
If anything, I really hope China doesn't learn how to really oppress people from the USA....
Well, I hope so too. You seem to be proving my point nicely.
