No, the dog cannot smell the difference between copyright infringement, and regular baked CDs. (Often mistaken with piracy, despite the lack of taking ships with the use of force and the lack of raping.)
This looks like they just made a premise to allow them police to search any house which happens to have written to rw cds/dvds, however, the bbc story implies that these dogs are for searching for more mass-production of cd/dvd writing.
Guessing it is because spectral absorption, reflection and transmission factor can vary over different frequencies. So basically they lower the transmission factor for frequencies that are not wanted. (I think.. Dammit i should know more)
So you get how this works? I thought things like these were supposed to be in the lines of black body radiation? How can they paint it and expect the useless lower and higher -then visual frequencies to disappear? Are some of those somehow absorbed again before escaping, or something?
Basically i am asking, how does it work:)
What you are not mentioning is externalization. The cost of political tensions over resources like gas, oil, and nuclear products. (Well, not coal at this point.) Nor are the emmisions paid for.(Well, only somewhat with emmisions trading.)
Also, as order people said, often people don't look at power costs well enough. (Although there is a rating for how much energy a product uses.)
Read the summary of the study's conclusion again. What the study claims to demonstrate isn't that polygamists live longer than other men in their own society; what it demonstrates is that in societies where a minority of the men have multiple wives, the mean longevity of all men is longer.
After accounting for socioeconomic differences! Something they probably did wrong. They even got this wrong:(Assuming the link represents the study.)
But the care and attention of several wives who depend on the social status of their ageing husband could explain everything
So they were talking about those few with wives! (ye
Another thing they got wrong: They considered evolutionary effects without considering whether the social structure was actually old enough/isolated enough for evolution to already have significant effect.
Also, other peoples replies, like that of Moryath.
Experiments have shown that a type of subatomic particle called a âoespin 1 particleâ
Bad wording. There is no particle named 'spin 1 particle' He should just have said that it is about a spin 1 particle.
Spin is one of those properties physicists canâ(TM)t predict in advance
If you measure spin in one direction and then measure it in the same direction again you can predict the second outcome in advance. (The operators commute.) If you measure it in other directions he is right.
To make it worse, current planet finding techniques biased in what planets they find. And we had theories that are now falsified (probably) which were also biased because only based on what we see in the solar system.
I do not see how we can conclude differently then to say: We do not know enough. (Not that simulations are a bad idea.)
I dont care what privacy they violate, as long as it is hard enough to get a court order and punishable harshly enough when done without court order.
So? They still need a court order? I didnt see that they didnt in the article.
2M soldiers is one on 500 Chinese, the US army is ~1M ppl, one on 200, more then two times the density. Further the US army is better equipped. Chinas economy is 3.42e12$ and that of America 13.8e12$. (this, of course doesnt show industrial power)
Now add, Europe, India, Japan, etc. China won't be a world power like America is for quite a while. I hope that country and others continue to progress towards the prosperity that they deserve, and get a more open government and free speech and enterprise with it. (Not necessarily western style capitalism.)
"it circumvents copyright law for the intermediates who cannot recover the original file"
Intermediates is not entirely correct, some of the pads used can be older then the transmitted document. (These people have nothing to do with it, they never set their pad to provide the file.)
http://www.madore.org/~david/misc/freespeech.html Was a more useful explanation.
If having a pad that 'allows someone to get the mp3' would be illegal, making someone a criminal would be a matter of finding _any_ sufficiently large file this person serves and making a bunch of pads of which a combination makes the mp3.
Its distribution IMO. Say i get a picture, which i am licenced to make as many copies for myself as i want. Then i will send this picture to lots of people, while claiming i still own it, but they can hang it anywhere. Now, would that be copyright infringement?
(Yes, d'oh)
The Box is exactly the same, except it is a whole apparatus instead of a picture.
Yet another hilariously small energy source tapped at great expense.
I am sure that if we tapped many of these small energy sources, that it might amount to something. I am also sure that it would be horribly cost-ineffective relative to alternatives.
At least when the masses are small compared to those causing the gravitation, negative masses will actually fall down in GR. The spacetime paths of particles are actually independent of their mass.
"That's what the experiment in the article is testing. Does antimatter react the same way to an external gravitational field as normal matter, or oppositely?"
Oppositely? The movement of a something is a path in spacetime. Where you see the particle is a matter of how the light travelled from the thing to you. There is no such thing as 'forward' or 'backward' of time in the object, other then the one that is 'provided' by thermodynamics. Time going 'forward' seems to be derived from the fact that the state of things at the time we call 'past' is very atypical.(Physics without thermodynamics does not care which direction time goes.)
Btw the curvature of spacetime is might need an arbitrary amount of dimensions to embed it in. (Not just four) Your idea of going uphill/downhill is not exactly correct.
I was thinking of explaining what time travel is, but i dont seem to find a good way to explain. (I dont fully get it either.) The 'thermodynamic time direction' stays the same, but the spacetime path 'goes backward in time' for some other observers.
It is BS in more ways: It neglects that physics is what makes biologies current advances possible. Also I consider biotechnology just a different approach to nanotechnology(as in molecular scale), meaning that biotechnology is just using existing systems to create new ones. For that reason i think nanotech will be more fruitful eventually. (perhaps he is using biology as a nomer for that, but i think that would be a misnomer.) Evolution is not exactly a good design process, the reason plants are not black(or purple?) up north is probably that they evolved from green trees.
I predict that the domestication of biotechnology will dominate our lives during the next fifty years at least as much as the domestication of computers has dominated our lives during the previous fifty years. This one made me laugh, i think most people would say 15 years or shorter for the latter.
Few of the new creations will be masterpieces, but a great many will bring joy to their creators and variety to our fauna and flora. And a few of them will eat flesh. I agree that this may be the end of the "evolution age", it think it will become the "design age", though. (if we do not blow ourselves up)
I second you, lets break it up. -Free: Yes, it still is, same GPL licence. And on the activism side the EFF is still doing things. -Sofware: A no-brainer. -Movement: "He said that most customers run a distribution - RedHat, Novell, Suse or Mandriva. Most of the work on maintaining the Linux kernel is done by developers working for these distributions, he noted" Yep, work is being done.
The movement didnt stop; it just got more comfy, besides, people need to eat. Perhaps the hoby-ism-interest shifted to games a little more. By the way, my nephew found Linux by himself and was pretty impressed by it:D:D:D. (I tried to tell him about it but he was sceptical.)

I had a pretty bad bug where switching with the gui would crash Ubuntu, i am sure it is fixed now, though.

AFAIK they banned light sources based on energy use, not type.
The idea is simple; invent something, patent it, and allow no-one to use it until someone pays the fee, but once it is payed, everyone can use it.

Some women do want to share their source, but they dont allow use of their hardware for compiling it.
Or the ground just shifted... Or even better, someone took some white paper, and used a hole puncher on it, photographing it with a black background!
