It's always a problem with construction. Contractors go to other jobs: the painters can't do their work because the trim guys didn't start, the trim guys can't start because the dry wall guys aren't done on time because they had to finish a more important job, etc...
Hey! I wonder if PBS will have a show in 50 yrs or so called "This Old Space Station". Just imagine the tools that the Norm counterpart will have! Mmmmmmmm, power tools.
The rewrite was based on the Mach kernel and it was done for the PPC. It was really nice. It's a shame it was killed - as far I as know. IBM is a huge company and I haven't worked there in 10 years, so take what I've said with a grain of salt or two.
IBM's silicon waveguide, as the name suggests, would channel light pulses created by the laser and modulator.
This is interesting. So an optical computer's speed will be limited by the electronic components. That means there would have be some sort of "light buffer" so that the electronics can keep up? Or is the goal is to slow down light enough that a buffer is unnecessary? Or, hopelfully, the electronics can be sped up to meet the optical components part-way.
Christian Science is actually a Christian denomination.
Yes, I know.
The denomination emerged about a hundred years ago as a result of quack medicine concurrent with the "science" of the time. The officials railed on magnetism and weird drugs at the time (recall Coke's advertising of the era--a "tonic" or other medicinal beverage) and instead placed an emphasis in trusting in God as a source of healing.
Cool, I didn't know that.
But, what I find really FUNNY is that the OP was mod'ed as "Flamebait" or something and that you took my post seriously. Maybe you were trying to educate me on Christian "Science", which I appreciate. BTW, I appreciate any correction or any additional information to my posts, which, in this world of FUD helps me to keep my bearings.
What I'm finding REALLY distressful is that FUD seems to be taking over the world. No one wants to think for themselves. Here's the "Flamebait": Rationally speaking (thinking)is taking the place of rational thought. Why would you trump rational thought with Faith? If you have evidence; real tangible evidence for anyting, why would you resort to Faith? You see, tangible evidence maybe God's way of telling the truth.
There are actually books that do not have an index. And boy is it a pain in the ass! I can understand why. From what I've heard from authors, indexing a book is the most boring and tedious thing to do.
Cell phone users may be able to accomplish the same thing by turning off their phones - but at the cost of not receiving what might be important calls from spouses, children, elderly relatives and others.
I once read, here I beleive, that powering off a cell phone doesn't keep it from transmitting. You have to remove the battery or put it into a foil bag. Is this correct?
What is the best to protect your privacy with regard to location with a cell?
... with your Google Account before you begin your television watching would allow Google to serve up relevant ads based on: the program you are watching, your search history, the type of emails you have received in the past 24 hours (excluding spam hopefully), or anything else Google can track
I can see it now. Ads for pr0n and naked celebrities will be coming up on the TV! Also, if I subscribe to the Tin Foil Hat newsletter, will Google start sending me ads for products that will block those ads?
I thought your comment was funny! I made an error. I meant to say that the fish and other resources were disappearing fast. You caught it and made a joke. I'm sorry that you were mod'ed "Troll".
And, to make the "Troll" mod more insulting, you were making quite an astute( sp?) observation and comment!
Cheers!
Vehicle knowledge and more.

"Knowing specific details about the anatomy and physiology of salmon sharks provides key insight into their ability to produce such power and speed during swimming. The knowledge could translate into better designs for underwater vehicles."
There's so much to learn from our oceans and yet they're disappearing fast because of the need for food and for some really stupid/ignorant reasons. It would be great if more folks would see this as more reasons for onservation and the repeal of the "tragedy of the commons"... I know, in my fucking dreams.
Oh, so you're a white male?
Remember, if you're a darkie or a hot woman, plan to spend some extra time being strip-searched. It's for your own protection.
I'm a white male whose not terribly good looking. I get stopped as a "Selectee" sometimes. It's usually when I change my plans within 24 hours of my flight. Another way to get flagged: one-way tickets. There's this poor old lady I know who buys one-way tickets to see her kids every year. She buys one-way so she can go back when she wants to. Every single time, she gets pulled out of line and searched. Security is completley ridiculous.
In that book, folks would ask him about "healing crystals" and many other things both religious and "New Age". His response was something to the affect of "...there's no data that supports that belief." I found that response to be respectful to the person asking and at the same time putting forth that idea that maybe they should question their own beliefs. Of course, there's always going to be people who are completely happy relying on faith. I have no problem with that as long as they don't legislate their beliefs on everyone else.
I read the parent three times and I can't fathom why it was mod'ed as "Troll". I found it to be quite informative and helpful for me when I have to deal with the ID folks.
This country (US) is drifting more and more away from science and more towards superstition (It's not only the ID folks, there's other equally unscientific view too) and magical thinking. We're headed for trouble economically, culturally, and politically if we don't stop this nonsense.
From TFA: So there are now 4915 secrecy orders in effect - some of which have been in effect since the 1930s.
If the Pentagon makes your patent secret, will they compensate you? I know that's a hard call as far as value is concerned. But let's say you're in negotiations with some company. You're coming to an amount of $5 million. Will the Pentagon send you a check for $5 million. Will they compensate the company in negations with you too? Or will they just say "Eminent Domain" and just take the thing and if you object, put you in jail?
What would happen if you just said "Fuck you!" and release it on the Net - jail you? The cat's already out of the bag.
Microsoft's is just a bit too carnivorous and aggressive by comparison.
It's interesting you should say that. I think it's because they're not growing like they did a few years ago and they want to recapture that ASAP. Also, I think they're planning for OS'es to become obsolete or just a much smaller segment or even a shrinking part of the computing market. Either because of an evolution in computing, i.e.PCs becoming a smaller segment of the market, or because of future competition - Linux or something else not even thought of - fringe.

Actually, wasn't it built on talking the French into doing most of the fighting for us?
Just splitting hairs here.
The additional population will have much larger impact than you think; more than just 50%

The light will go into ultra-violet and possibly plaid!

Yes! All of them! You see, God created science, therefore, ALL of science is God's work. To reject science is to reject God!
Ok, I'm going to get flamed for this, but, can you do that in MS Word?
Nevermind, I just brought up MS Word and looked. It's : "ALT-SHIFT-X"
Thanks for the tip! The next time I talk to that author, I'm going to mention this.
What's the equivlent in other word processing programs? Especially, Open Office.

Also add that you'll be intero....questioned by the security people ($8/hr contractors) for hours on end while they straighten the "mess" out.

I was looking for something like for some of the Crea..ID proponents here good 'ol Cobb County Georgia.
I'm sorry, but that argument is almost up there with "If you're doing nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about."
