North Korea already has nuclear weapons capability, if their 2006 test is legitimate, which independent observers believe it was. While the test may have been a partial fizzile with a yield of about a kiloton, it's unlikely that they'll get it wrong again. At this point, trying to get NK to unilaterally disarm without the use of force is pretty much a lost cause. A better long run strategy is to just let NK have a limited nuclear weapons program, so long as it it subject to some kind of arms limitation treaty, like the SALT agreement between the US and Russia. Reverse psychology, see - once it's not taboo anymore NK's leadership can't ramble on about how the Evil Imperialists are always trying to undermine their sovereignty. The cat is already out of the bag, unless we're willing to go gangbusters into NK and use force to destroy their nuclear capability they are going to build some kind of nuclear aresnal one way or another - if we allow them a "defensive" nuclear capability (which will be severely hindered by their ability to acquire fissile material regardless) it should be possible to actually get concessions from the NK leadership, such as a real end to the Korean War and normalized relations with the rest of the world.
Israel acquired nuclear weapons in the 1960s, nobody in the United States was particularly opposed to or concerned by it. China developed thermonuclear weapons around the same timeframe. India acquired nuclear weapons in the 1970s, Pakistan acquired nuclear weapons in the 1990s, and the US and Europe and Russia hemmed and hawed and muttered about "destabilizing the region" but really didn't but any pressure on those nations for disarmament or any incentive to limit nuclear weapons development. India and Pakistan have engaged in 3 major wars in the past 50 years, Israel has been engaged in essentially a constant conflict with its neighbors that has flared up into regional war on at least 5 occasions. China has fought wars with India, Pakistan, and Vietnam. North Korea has not been engaged in a major war in over 50 years - but somehow it's more destabilizing for North Korea to have nuclear weapons than all these other nations put together. If you want to talk about childish, the childish approach is that Western powers expect nations like Iran and North Korea to listen to inflexible ultimatums for nuclear disarmament when they let all their neighbors build as many nukes as they pleased with barely a peep of disagreement.
It has often been argued that the reason for the decline of nuclear power in the United States was because of the environmental movement in the late 1970s. It has also been argued, however, that 3 Mile Island was a wake up call to the private investors in the US who noticed that a 2 billion dollar nuclear plant asset could be turned into a 1 billion dollar cleanup legal liability in the space of 30 minutes. Of the dozens of new nuclear plants slated for construction in the 1970s, only a few were stopped because of environmentalist action. The others quietly folded up because investors said "Wow, no thanks" after seeking what kind of risk might be involved.
Every data sheet for every integrated circuit I've ever seen says that you can never ever use it for any system that has a possibility of causing danger to human life if it fails, i.e. aviation, nuclear power plants, medical equipment, et cetera.
Since there is electronic equipment that engages in such activities, my question is who does one have to fuck to get a wavier on that caveat?
Please forgive my naive suggestion, but is there not a way that when shit starts hitting the fan in such a situation, there could be a "panic" button which tells the plant to "just insert all the control rods, put everything into the safest position possible and just shut everything down"? It would of course cost the power company millions to perform such an act, and I'm also assuming that since such a system doesn't seem to exist in the real world there must be good reason. Perhaps with a nuclear reactor it is impossible to know with 100% certainty what a totally safe shutdown condition is?
If you look at the word long enough it starts to look really weird. It starts to look all German. ACHTUNG, DAS IST MEIN FLAMSCHMEISSER! I'd like it if they brought back Friendster as it was before it became mostly for Asians.
The problem I see with this experiment is that, at least in my opinion, the greatest psychological stress that might come from a journey to Mars is not necessarily the confinement or the lack of gravity, but just the knowledge of the absolutely mind-bending number of kilometers between you and all the other humans in existence, and by extension any hope of aid if anything should go wrong. Even when things went to shit on Apollo 13, they could take some comfort that they were still within a day or two of Earth and could see its familiar disc outside their window. What would it feel like being 2 months out on a trip to Mars, with Earth just a bright dot? The only way I could imagine coming close on Earth would be in some kind of habitat miles underwater, but I doubt even that would do the sensation justice.
I've spent some time looking at Wikipedia's articles on 20th century military history, and after noticing some errors in some of them I decided to check out who the major players in the edit history were. Surprise surprise, the great majority of articles on 20th century military history are moderated and controlled by a group of maybe a dozen uber-editors, who apparently spend the great majority of their time doing reverts, reverts, reverts. Obviously aspects of 20th century military history can be contentious, but a glance at the user pages of these editors shows that they also spend a great deal of effort handing out faux military "decorations" to each other and engaged in general self-congratulation for composing and defending the content of various articles. That kind of behavior a) doesn't encourage any kind of objectivity, only groupthink, and b) is so. fucking. queer.
One can often find significant discounts on pink non-iPod mp3 players on Ebay, usually they go for around $20 less than equivalent models in more "manly" colors. iPods don't seem to have this price discrepancy, most likely because they have a the most fashionable name brand and therefore don't suffer from a lack of female buyers.
I have XFCE running on an 8 year old Emachine with 512MB and a Pentium III Tualatin based 1.2 Ghz Celeron that I found and stuffed in it - it can be a little sluggish when there are 15+ tabs in Firefox open but in general it's quite usable. Unfortunately YouTube performance isn't good, I'm pretty sure the problem is that even the highest clocked first generation Celerons are just too pokey to handle applications like Flash 10. One thing I've noticed is that on this older machine JavaScript and Flash applications running in tabbed windows can really eat up precious cycles, and the NoScript plugin improves performance considerably.
The Native Americans used to pay honor to the animals they hunted by finding a way to use every piece of the remains, letting nothing go to waste.
While this sounds true in an "everybody knows that" kind of way, is there any historical evidence that there actually were certain rituals that were performed by tribes to honor deceased animals besides using all its parts, which could be explained as just prudent behavior in areas where resources were scarce? I've heard people remark on this aspect of Native American religion before but I can't say I've ever read any references that detailed a particular example of it. I'm not trying to troll - I'm not attempting to put down Native Americans and certainly enjoy a steak now and then; I'm genuinely curious.
Though it's unlikely someone with an application that needed as much ram as in TFA shelled would be running Vista, perhaps the Vista commenters are referring to the fact that Vista (and XP) have never seemed to manage large amounts of memory correctly out-of-the-box; it seems Vista and a few applications will eat up my first gig of memory or so but from then on it's swap swap swap, at least while using desktop applications and not playing 3D games.
What you've got to do is you've got to make punch-card copies of all your data. Then you're gonna take those punch cards, and you're going to put them on a wooden table. Then you're going to take digital photographs of them, email them to your backup site in the Netherlands, where they'll get the photographs printed and stack them in a vacuum sealed airtight length of 24" PVC sewer pipe stored on the top floor of a windmill to avoid flood damage. That is what we call mission critical backup procedure, my friends.
Around 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust - the total death toll is estimated to be more than twice that - but of course there can only ever be rough estimates as there is ample evidence that the Nazis kept incomplete records and that the records were tampered with after the war for the benefit of various aggrieved parties, particularly the Soviets. Even from my elementary school days, however, the "and some other people" in the modern Holocaust narrative have gotten short shrift, so I'm not surprised you wouldn't know about them. There are enough inconvenient truths on all sides about World War 2 to fill a hundred textbooks; I think if a person wants to starts throwing accusations about who did the "most evil" during that conflict one should be prepared to do enough research to see how far the rabbit hole really goes.
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,
Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;
They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound; Now they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner!
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
Well, considering the FPGA or other programmable hardware that the analog computer would be running on were designed to implement digital circuits running at many MHz, one would hope that they would have sufficient bandwidth to work with at least some interesting analog calculations. As for noise, you could help with that by using a Kalman filter on the A/D converted output - of course you're back to the constraints of digital again, but since efficient Kalman filter algorithms are O(n log(n)) if you were working with say a system of differential equations that had a best case solution big-Oh larger than that, you'd still get a speed improvement.
As an Alaska resident perhaps you can tell me if there is any truth to the following stereotype - it seemed that Palin in some ways suffered from a personality flaw that I have seen in several young men and women who grew up in Alaska but went to college or worked with me on the East Coast. That flaw being, they seemed to completely lack an ability for self-censorship - they would happily state whatever thought came to their mind on any topic without regard to the company they were in. Speaking one's mind can certainly be a good quality, but when taken to a fault it can certainly hamper one's social (or political?) life when done in a different environment as it did for at least some of the men and women from Alaska whom I met on the East Coast. By taking it to a fault, I don't mean being firm on one's position on say, a political issue that is unpopular, but more things like "Gosh, you have gotten FAT since last semester!" and unappealing social behavior like that.
Perhaps it has something to do with growing up in small communities that are fairly socially/ethnically homogeneous?
One neat possibility of a FPGA or other "programmable hardware" I was thinking about the other day was an "analog physics processor", that is some kind of add-on device that when physics equations need to be solved for a simulation the FPGA reconfigures itself into the proper analog computer system (integrators, summers, differentiators) for the particular problem, then applies the requisite (scaled) initial conditions. Since you are using analog methods and not a digital mathematical representation of the physical system, many solutions that would require computationally intensive numerical methods in a totally digital system can be solved exactly and in real time; this is as long as you're not necessarily looking for a general solution to the problem but only the solution for some certain initial conditions, which in a simulation is usually the case.
Everybody knows that the keys to successful submarine navigation - first you activate the passive sonar on the hull, then you deploy the towed array, and then you watch the waterfall display and try to figure out which one of the tracks is the true bearing and which is the false bearing, then you gotta play around with the Fourier transform of the screw noises on the other display and fiddle with it a bit because the computer is alternately suggesting that the contact is either a fishing trawler, a supertanker, the USS Ronald Reagan, or an Udaloy class destroyer, and where ARE those active sonar pings coming from? And then you get frustrated, hit "Display All Real" from the tactical map screen and discover you've frantically fired five torpedoes and a cruise missile at an active sonar buoy dropped from a low-flying plane an hour ago.
A common scam that I've fallen victim to on at least one occasion when buying synthesizers on Ebay is the "It must have broken during transit" scam - the seller knows that an item is nonfunctional but sells it at full price, and before it ships puts a little exterior damage on it to make it look like it was damaged in shipping when really the thing was a basket-case to begin with. The seller and Paypal then instruct you to bug UPS for insurance money, which you will never get because the package itself generally has no signs of damage. I had one synthesizer that was in "fully functional condition" arrive with two broken keys - sure, that MIGHT have happened in transit, but what about the burned traces in the power supply? I always give preference to sellers now who have gone to the effort to make YouTube videos of their gear to show that it is in good operating condition.
How long do the Fusion blades last you? I have a Gillette Fusion razor and a fairly heavy beard (I can grow a full beard in a week if I let it go) and wet shaving once a day the cartridges seriously last me about a month and a half before I notice a lower quality shave - if kept well cleaned. With an 8 pack costing about 20 bucks it seems trying to get them in bulk off Ebay is penny wise and pound foolish, unless there is some kind of razor blade shortage looming that we don't know about? That reminds me. My granpappy who lived through the Great Depression always told me that in tough economic times one should invest in personal hygiene companies like P&G, because regardless of what happens in other sectors of the economy, people will always need supplies to shave and wash themselves with - and if things get SO bad that shaving and washing are no longer profitable industries, then the stock market probably won't matter either!
Even so, having a lot of these sites on the list doesn't make much sense, even really from the point of view of fanatics trying to "protect the children" and legislate morality. A lot of the sites seem to be just parked domains that redirect to vanilla porn sites. You could spend your entire life trying to ban all of those and never be able to, and yet the frontpages to hugely popular porn sites like tube8.com and pornotube.com are nowhere to be found. The mid 1990's looking site of some small group of Christians in Arizona who apparently enjoy sex outside of marriage is banned, but sites like Stormfront.org (a popular white nationalist message board) is absent.
The thing that scares me even more than this sort of government censorship existing is that it doesn't even seem to be done in any kind of logical manner! You'd think there must be someone intelligent enough in the government's IT department when, presented with the requirement "block all naughty stuff on the internets" would know that while it is probably impossible there are at least logical ways to go about trying that don't involve just randomly hunting on a search engine, as this appears to be. Right? Right?
Anyone who tries to tell you that all nations and races are equal are doing so for their own advantage. It's a ploy, a trap, whatever you want to call it - everyone knows that for whatever views on equality the UN pretends to espouse they certainly have no intentions of applying their dogma in an equitable manner. A world without hate is an imprisoned world that I sure wouldn't want to live in.
