Reminds me of Paul Erds. Mathematicians are by far the oddest scientists I have ever known, I work in a university which only does science and engineering so I have met quite a few.
At 70 miles an hour, bone on tarmac (asphalt) wears away at 1cm per second. I would suggest racing leathers rather than Spandex, this ensures that all the soft organ tissue is saved for transplants, kept in a nice leather bag.
You couldn't is the simple answer, unless you perhaps run the network at CERN. This is Tier 1 territory at the moment, eventually your corporate backbone, probably never on the desktop though. It just means you can run 10x10Gb networks through a single cable. So unless you have massive needs of say a large internet video hosting site you probably never need anything like this.
In time I would expect it to filter down to medium sized business, by which time, no doubt, 1Tb/s will have been standardised, if not 10Tb. To keep everything smooth at the end you need some really hefty cables in the middle.
Not really. Whilst all these things may be technically correct, they are in practise not. The Queen or her representatives can't do anything at all, except what they are told by the civil service, who are the ones who have always held all the power.
But the core i3/5 have the memory controller and graphics on the processor, so really it is the only thing other than memory generating heat, which probably makes controlling the airflow much easier. IIRC the TDP is close to the core2 so I don't honestly think this will be an issue at all.
You're allowed to use roads as long as you don't cross the north/south diagonal and are not in knip. Well at least in the International Standard Rules (1972).
Err, why not get the Europeans to sort out this mess? They actually manage to do something* about Microsoft...
*It could have been better, I grant you but they have effectively forced their hand on opening up protocols and standards. There is however more time which needs to pass, not quite sure how much though.
Sorry, the *best* sarcasm is not obvious, that's really lame. The best is serious and dead-pan, notifying people your being sarcastic is just far too easy for them. It might explain why some Americans can't tell the British are being sarcastic, because we don't make it obvious all the time.
Not for windmills, generators and the like, keeping those at a constant RPM can be more useful independant of input power. It may also prove useful in electric cars, as if you can keep everything always working at it's peak efficiency you can go further on less power. There are many situations where it would be better to have a constant RPM in and a variable out (or vice versa), the question then becomes are these as easy to work with and reliable as existing gearboxes. Planetary gears, work at approximately the maximum efficiency most of the time, these theoretically can work at maximum efficiency ALL of the time.
If they can be a drop in replacement for existing tech, then I can see this taking off, if not or they require complex setups/electronics it might be a more niche product. Also how efficient this tech is, in comparison with existing systems, as if the gearbox itself is only 75% efficient, this would rule out the benefit of having an infinietly variable ratio. Pulling some numbers out of my ass I believe gearboxes are some where in the 95-99% efficient
To be fair 119 is also less than 5! (using the base 10 linear* arithmatic system), don't use punctuation which is not required, it often has unintended consequences.
*Modular arithmatic there are many numbers which are less than 5!, but that is just being unnecessarily confusing.
JET just about managed to get more useful energy out than they put in. Even self sustaining (for some rediculuously short time). Although they shut it down just after, to focus on ITER, whenever that gets finished.
More *useful* energy, if you get fusion you are likely to get more energy, it's just not very useful. It's turning the energy you get into something you can plug the toaster into that's hard.
I agree that you are allowed to spell as you wish, but when writing a *Dictionary* you are generally supposed to reflect the language *in use* not as you would like it to be used. Just because Webster didn't see the point in the silent letters is no reason to leave them out. Then Americans might be just able to pronounce Loughborough.
Not really, it just hasn't come into your world before, as I learned it from an accountant. It's the same sum, but using proper fractions, so slightly easier to do in your head (and a calculator, I make mistakes with . hitting 0, is annoying). Plus when they reduced VAT to 15% the sum became 46/47.
I chose to use the value the BBC had on their market prices pages. So the current actual exchange rate, not generally what you get when you change currencies though.
Because they don't understand Benford's law, which is somewhat foolish if trying to fiddle the numbers.
You might want to do your maths again, as to remove vat you need to multipy by 40/47, which is £365.11, or $537.84 (using 1.4731 as the exchange rate, just retrieved from the beeb).
Is it just me or do the Business Systems (Oracle, SAGE, SAP etc.) type IT folk really not know how to use a computer? I mean it's all very nice to have integrated systems and lovely procurement processes, but seriously at least where I work they don't even know how to advise users to turn off pop-up blockers (which is required for something we have in Oracle, I don't know what because desktop support is separate such they we are deemed unfit* to know how these systems work).
Stability is a good thing, but the standards don't change. Making applications work within the standards would aid standards adoption but also ensure compatibility across a wide range of hardware and software. Or is the vendor lock in just too great a pull for the likes of Oracle.
*we ask for access just to see how it works, so we can assist users when they ask us, but get denied, no idea of the actual reason though.
Your doctor went to medical school for 6 years, then numerous years training in order to be a General Practitioner. IT people can often have no formal training at all, which makes it all the harder for those who are good at their jobs to do them well. As other IT staff may give incorrect advice giving users the excuse, well IT told me to do it this way.
If there were some universally agreed standard so we could take IT into being a Profession, then maybe things will change. But at the moment we're just a bunch of ill dressed bastards complaining about how things would be better if everyone listened to us.
Ah but these are people who have shown they can't think for themselves (they bought Apple, so they clearly don't like freedom or free will), so kudos to the malware writers for seeing this possible attack vector.
And an email saying click here for iPad/iTunes update is 'simpler' than opening iTunes and finding the bit which checks for update. And Apple always use the easiest method right?

See the moon there, DARPA want that on a stick, with sugar and a cherry on top if you please.

But think of the new paradigm of email/fax spam, a synergy of such epic proportions as to usher in a new Zeitgeist.
Sorry.

If I had to guess, IANAL, but some type of trespass possibly, can't see much else being of use here though.

At least we didn't change ours because the person who wrote the dictionary didn't like the spellings.

Even Microsoft can't make it as broken as last time...
