It's worth noting that we aren't allowed to order rail components from Europe or Asia, thanks to the Buy America Act of 1982. ALL rail components must be built in the USA if ANY federal dollars are spent on the project.
A lot of studies (environmental impact, economics, engineering, earthquake, etc), a bunch of lawsuits, and building a short length of very nice (but ultimately useless) above-grade high speed rail between two small cities, neither of which wanted it.
San Diego-LA is currently served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner (not really commuter service). San Diego-Oceanside commuter rail is the Coaster, and Oceanside-LA commuter rail is the Metrolink Orange County line...if you want to go between San Diego and anywhere in the LA area outside of Orange County you pretty much have to change trains either two or three times, on a minimum of two different tickets. HSR between the major metro hubs (SAN and LAX, and probably stopping in Anaheim at least) makes a lot of sense, not that anybody will ever do it...they're too busy building in the middle of nowhere.
The rightmost digit was dropped from the 200 series when they reset the generation (leftmost) number, but the market position identifier has been in middle of the model number since the Geforce FX (5000 series), and it's always had roughly the same meaning. So the Geforce 7600, 8600, and 9600 were the same market position in their respective generations as the 260, 460, 560, etc, were (and it's THAT SAME market position that the 1060 occupies for Pascal). As far as release schedule, nVidia release order within generations for many years have been top-down except for the 9 market identifier, which launches late in order to double-dip from wealthy enthusiasts who might buy both the 8 and 9 cards from the same generation.
There are a tiny number of manufacturing facilities capable of forging single-piece reactor pressure vessels, and none of them are located in North America. I strongly suspect (but can find no clear references) that the pressure vessel in Watts Bar Unit 2 is from Japan Steel Works.
"Ordinary" (orange-bulb) fire sprinklers are designed to trigger at 57C, and are rated for a maximum sustained ceiling temperature of just 38C. In buildings that are expected to get hotter than that, you're supposed to use red-bulb sprinklers, which trigger at 74C and are better able to deal with high sustained ceiling temperatures. It doesn't seem too unreasonable that someone in Rio was not thinking conservatively enough and installed the wrong kind of sprinkler heads.
I think the browser you're looking for is Seamonkey. The status bar is always visible. The status bar shows exact link URLs. The URL bar shows the entire, exact URL, with the main domain in black and the rest in dark grey (same visual effect as bolding, but without changing character width, so it's easier to read).
Based on that analogy, the fastest result would not necessarily be from the most distant-efficient (offset) path, but possibly from an approach that was more aware of the limitations of the mower (turning radius, acceleration, and so on), like most modern HSM toolpaths. If the ratio works out the same as for, say, Volumill, then we'd want to increase the feedrate of our ordinary 10kph mower to, say, 40kph.
Or it could be a holdover from being taught to do longhand addition and subtraction chained vertically, like so:
123
+456
-------
579
- 54
-------
525
which reads (out loud) very similarly to "123+456=579-54=525", which is, as the article points out, incorrect.
Don't be too quick to blame calculators when longhand methods introduce similar errors.
Have you considered using a distribution-neutral package format like autopackage? There are solutions written specifically for developers in your situation. Not everyone needs to build packages in native formats; really those are mostly for central repositories. If you're not distributing your app through a central repository, there's no reason not to use something like autopackage.
Just because all the particles (and antiparticles) WE know about have positive mass, doesn't mean that's all there is. Negative mass particles have not been empirically observed, but are mathematically permissible within the known laws of physics. It's also been considered necessary for folding or warping space in "creative" ways (such as creating or stabilizing wormholes) at various times.
EGCS became the official "GCC" for version 2.95. The EGCS bazaar-style development model was adopted and the EGCS maintainers became the GCC maintainers.
So, I'd say "conceded defeat" is pretty accurate.
At this time, it has NOT been updated, actually...still reads 6v1 (hopefully whoever's responsible [hah] for maintaining it will add this story). The 1 point is for MIT's response to this prank, specifically, this.
If I lived in Sweden, I think the last thing I'd do is try to reduce global warming... average temperature in Stockholm is just over 40 degrees in April, and that's not nearly the coldest area in Sweden.
Poor choice of title?

Black Review
·
· Score: 1
Does anyone else hate it when companies name games things like "Black"? Look, guys, if I want to see something about a game, I should be able to Google for the title. Searching for "Black" is not going to get me anything about this game. I even have to go to the second page if I search for "Black +game", because of the proliferance of "Black & White" and Half-Life ("Black Mesa") references. Not to mention that I'd feel more than a little stupid walking into a store and asking "Do you have Black in stock?"...I'd expect to be directed to the paint isle. It can't possibly be that expensive to come up with a unique title, and it makes it a lot easier for people to recognize, find, and purchase your product.
If it works in just about any other linux program, it should work in vanilla wine ( http://www.winehq.org/ ). Wine supports both joydev (/dev/jsXX) and linux-input (/dev/input/eventXX) devices. I've done a certain amount of work on the wine joystick subsystem over the last few months and it's working quite well. If you haven't tried recently, try with wine 0.9... you might be surprised. If you still can't get it to work and you'd like me to see if I can fix it, drop by #winehq on freenode or email me (google for my slashdot username and 'wine-patches' to find my email address, it's out there).
A home outlet can easily supply 3.5 amps...3.5A at 120V = 35A at 12V.
P=IV -> Watts = Amps * Volts
12 * 35 = 420
420 = 120 * 3.5
Power draw stays constant across voltage/amperage conversions, so when you decrease the voltage (to 12V) the amperage increases by the same factor.
Grandparent post was correct that they didn't check their math against the pic, though.

TFS lies about TFA's contents. TFA has FOUR categories covering DragonflyBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD.

Now THAT would make mowing more fun.

100 miles at 33mpg is just a few ounces more than 3 gallons. Maybe you should have broken out the calculator. ;)
Interesting, perhaps, but not useful.
All the more reason to teach it. We should be trying to get students interested in science.

Apparently they're just REALLY excited about all their new initiatives.
Google for "Morris-Thorne wormhole" or read wikipedia's article on exotic matter for more details.

They've been working on the GPU port since June 05 or earlier. Wait your turn.
And how is that any different than what we have now?
