You mean the SSC which was to be built in Texas, 54 mile circumference and only 15 miles of tunnel bored built before funding pulled in 1993.
I worked on part of the design SSC (haha yeah, me and hundreds of other engineers and physicists, my job at Fermilab was a very very minor)
Sure, accelerators can be used by schools (indeed Fermilab for example is run by consortium of universities), but they're very very expensive. If standard model is verified there really isn't much more to be learned in high energy physics by bigger accelerators smaller than say half a million light-years in circumference.
well, we stil haven't quite got Turkey to actually take all those troops they've been massing on the border over the last couple weeks and go in and start the process of divvying up Iraq into three smaller countries that will hate and commit acts of genocide on the others for years.
haha, but in seriousness the Studio Express in question in fact does execute extensions (like Jamie's )out of the box, so really Microsoft should have disabled that. They hosed themselves.
you haven't been paying attention, the hundreds of billions spent on the Iraq war makes body armor expense chump change, but instead we're busy spending money on destabilizing the middle east and asia minor.
Amazing that so people assume that Microsoft was correct in saying there was in fact a EULA violation, when the best they could come up with after a year was a poorly worded phrase in the EULA: You may not work around any technical limitations in the software. And that team leader wank at Microsoft Dan had no worthy arguments against what Jamie did either other than claim without proof that the EULA was violated, and that Jamie never acted correctly in response to their vague claim and beating around the bush, and that "Ethos" of project was violated. "Ethos" meaning "you did what I think was bad ; you must think like me", what a load of tripe. This is just more of Microsoft's current mode of threating customers without any real proof to back claims, same as the patent violation claims without patent numbers to back it up.
not in well designed software: dynamic libraries and modules/drivers don't have to be loaded nor even installed to hard disk. That software is largely not well designed these days is the point.
better yet, by that logic we should all be typing by mashing our noses into the keyboard and licking a braille monitor while listening to audio via butt plug transducer because that's all a blind quadriplegic with 100% damaged skin nerves could do.
There in fact were computerized solutions 20+ years ago for writing documents with Scandinavian characters and Japanese pictographs/romanizations that are less bloated than today's.
A disabled person may find themselves with inferior production tools, and that is what the current state of the art gives them if they use voice recognition compared to someone using typing. Meanwhile, for the 99.999+% of the human race with fully functioning fingers, they'll do better to learn to type properly.
"I have no substantive arguments on the subject so I'll try to invoke guilt of the plight of the less fortunate or guilt of racism because needs of ethnic group x wasn't addressed".
that might cause problems with passing by HR (they'll say you're language constitutes sexual harassment of any coworkers in earshot made uncomfortable). So farm it out, tell the recruiter in a hushed voice to call your cell phone number. Give them the phone number of an adult theater in a major city that has recorded message listing all the films and plots. Or whatever cranks your tractor, the possibilities are as numerous as your yellow page directory!
actually, you're half right on the features: spell checking, formatting and fonts are useful and can be done with the 20+ year old software as well as the new (and faster on the old). But to anyone who types at a reasonable rate, predictive text is a huge annoyance (and often causes wrong values to be input into fields and just slows the typing of documents. Good typists turn that crap off, it IS bloat. Voice recognition is much slower and much less accurate than typing, I wouldn't even consider using it to create a document. But bloat and gee-whizz panders to the "hunt and peck" crowd.
but check out the actual ppm numbers - sulfur and silicon are in the same league as nitrogen (and we should be saying carbon-oxygen-nitrogen-phosphorous life) and all those way more abundant than phosphorous which is essential for RNA/DNA.
nah, what good is a pile of source without the means to compile it (unknown build process), or any way to legally use it, or any way to distribute it (like a foot thick binder of source that doesn't scan well or would cost too much to duplicate)?
Free software, public domain software, and bsd licensed software are much more useful forms of open source.
whoa, you're just tossing out a bunch of supposition. Silicon and special nitrogen/phosphorous compounds can both form arbitrarily large and complex molecules, and even at high temperature large molecules are possible under extreme pressure. So throw away that carbon chauvinism, you're just thinking inside a small box. And any objections to nitrogen/phosphorous or silicon based life always involve problems with oxygen or water, which is just more earth=life chauvinism.
except it's really just a copy of your mothers, it's 100% yours just as your nucleic DNA is. I would have replied sooner but my mother was much less proactive and energetic than my father ever was, so my mitocondria don't give me much energy for initiative
there could be many more parts of the brain that derive immense pleasure in the P.T. Barnum Effect: scamming some poor chump out of his hard earned money. Or from the Highlander Movie Viewer Effect: lopping the head off of some S.O.B. just because he's annoying.
usually swastikas are called "right-facing" or "left-facing", what a person means by clockwise or counterclockwise can vary. But if one is talking about the bend, then Buddhist is bent counter-clockwise, or to the left.
the Nazi swastika is "right-facing", with the arms of cross bent clockwise or to the right. The Hindu swastika is also usually right-facing, although you can sometimes see right and left facing mirror image swastikas in Hindu art. The Jain in India also use that right-facing bend usually.
indeed, and it's the Buddhist symbol for universal harmony, e.g. Dharma. Go to major airports and you'll see swastikas all over the place, for prayer rooms and such.
Swastikas can be found in ancient native American sites too.
Instead of trying to stamp out swastikas-shaped things such as old buildings and other architectural shapes that far predate nazi germany, why doesn't everyone just learn that the swastika has for centuries been a symbol of good things?

energy sufficient for those grand unifying theories. Some say such a machine would only need be several light years in diameter!
heheh, but let's not forget a Fermilab screwup has delayed the LHC, scandalous accusations might be part of the fun
