From my hobbyist messings-around with PTOE, it seems that the Lanthanides and the Actinides are about unstable nuclei due to neutrino decay and the crazy electron configurations (Have you looked at those outer shells?? It's a mess!). If it were up to me, I would stop the table at Lead. Nothing really happens in 5f until after then anyways.
The Koch brothers also donate to PBS and Nova. Hard to tell if they really believe in it, or are just investing in both directions so people don't know what to think about them.
In a related story, the Govt has decided to outlaw compasses, magnetically-charged needles, corks, and cups of water, in an effort to get more citizens to use GPS.
One problem with that - it's *cold* up there. The water would probably freeze the instant you launched it at something. Now, you could always put a heater up there to keep the water warm, but that results in more space junk.
Me, I think a giant space vacuum cleaner would do the job.. we just need to borrow one from the folk at Space Balls.
Yes, I bought one. And (usually) I count as an "anyone". To be honest, I love it. I let one my friends who has owned both the old iPhone and the new 3G iPhone, and he said the G1 was a contender and good competition.
I have had no problems with 3G coverage where I live, and (as was stated in another post) it really doesn't matter because with a few presses of a finger you can select AT&T's 3G network as your default.
The wifi connectivity great, too, because I can also connect to my internal home network! (Now I just need an SSH client for the G1 and I'm good to go;))
I also like the fact that the G1 uses MicroSD chips, and those are INEXPENSIVE these days. I bopped over to my local geek store, bought an 8GB chip for about $15, and *POW* - now I have more storage than an iPhone.
I thought we (America) were going to invest in new "green" automobile technology, energy and whatnot... Is Tesla motors exempt from this new influx of cash?? If so, what a shame - they seem to really be breaking new ground here.
Grumpy, I cheerfully agree with you - I tried various DVR packages, and REALLY REALLY tried to make MythTV work properly with my Hauppage DVR-350 card/remote on Ubuntu. It was flaky at best, and locked up randomly at worst. Even though there is a MythTV forum, the help there was seriously wanting.
I found SageTV, tested it on Windows and this skeptic was immediately impressed. SageTV *is* what MythTV *wants to be*. Since I'm a Linux head, I then laid down Ubuntu, reinstalled SageTV there and it worked like a charm - remote, recording off TV, scheduling (including resolving conflicts), EVERYTHING!
I caught the SageTV bug, and picked up an HD100 media extender. Once again I was impressed - up and running with that appliance in less than 5 minutes! Throw in PlaceShifter, and now I can access my whole movie and music library from any workstation in the house (including my old Toshiba Satellite laptop - wireless - running Ubuntu)!
I use Linux LVM to manage disk space (gotta make room for that expanding library), and don't even have to stop SageTV to do so... it's an AWESOME set up.
If you really must use MythTV, I suggest giving it a few years to mature; in the mean time, try SageTV - you won't be disappointed.
If there was ever a time to use the flyingspaghettimonster tag, it is now...
I can hardly wait for teachers to explain the correlation between pirates and global warming:)
What if the destination site doesn't want to be owned by a telco? What if the telco doesn't want to provide the same type of content management access the site maintainers had before? What if the telco wants to charge the owners for what was previously free? What if there's a telco bidding war for who gets to own which site? And on, and on...
So, did Muhammad have an issue with his image being portrayed, or is it just these Muslim extremists? Kinda reminds me of those extremist Christians who are afraid to say the word "God" or "Satan", since it'll summon him or some such nonsense.
Silly humans... they should know Cthulu, the one true God, after which the FSM was created, doesn't care if you speak its name!!!
Ok, then, easy solution is this... Charge the French and Germans for shipping, but don't charge the other countries. Awesome - way to represent your people, France.
Ok, let's stop taking pictures of Fords... that means they can't be posted in Auto Trader, and folk can't take pictures of them at Auto Shows. Over time, people will stop buying Ford vehicles because no one will know what they look like. Well into the future, there will be stories of a mythical car manufacturer named Frod or something, but no-one really knows about it for sure, since there are no images of the cars they supposedly made.
Taking yourself out of the public eye when you're trying to sell a product en mass is pure silliness. I'm sure the Ford sales droids are taking this guy for a long walk off a short plank, as we speak...
Lemme guess, if someone's house was on fire, you wouldn't help them put it out, cause it's *their* house damnit! It's not *your* responsibility, it's *theirs*. Wow, and I remember when Americans helped each other out... the ol' gray mare, she ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be...

Sigh.... neutron decay... I meant neutron.

Programming competitions. Sounds boring, I know, but I've seen such events bring out some very creative, lore-worthy, er, um, "logic" to win.

If you're going to make mankind into gods, then it's back to the old question of who created man? Evolution or Bearded Sky Father?
See, son? This is a troll... now let's move along before it notices us...

j/k - glad to see we're making progress on the SPAM/UCE front :)

It's as if they're saying
"C'mon stupid luser, you should just know that you're here, and be happy with it!"
...someone canceled their WoW account, and has free time on their hands ;)

Communism is absence of govt. The US right wants less govt.. That would mean it has come full circle to the communist right. Cheers!

If you can, could you provide the name of the vendor who gave that course? I would like to avoid them at all costs :)
