This is exactly why I bought my mp3 player: a Samsung Yepp with 128 MB of flash. Sometime around 1999-2000 for something like $150.
I still use this player and have no need or desire for anything more modern. 1.5 hours is about the upper limit for how long I can run, so 128MB is enough room.
In Canada, if the ruling party proposes a bill and is defeated, the entire government MUST RESIGN and an election is held. It only takes ONE bill to bring down the government and give the other guys a shot.
This is true and has always been the case historically. What I don't understand is the complaints from the current opposition whenever the government declares that a vote will be a confidence matter. Every vote used to be a confidence matter.
Actually, I lied when I said I don't understand it. The opposition simply wants to vote down everything the government puts forward, without the consequences of the election that that would normally cause.
Yes there is math to support this, but it is nothing new.
I remember covering traffic models in an undergrad level PDE math class at university. I would hope that the model in the article is more advanced, but the idea has been around for a long time.
My major was applied mathematics, and I have managed to forget 90% of the math I knew.
Applied Math lines up with the engineering side of things. (Engineers should really be forced to take a few courses from the AM department). The science side lines up better with Pure Math and C&O.
Mainly though, they're a great deal for anyone who's in them.
No, they are a great deal for the average worker who can't rise above the masses on his own abilities. They are a horrible deal for the individual who outperforms and finds his advancement blocked by the very organization that is supposed to help him.
As part of a fundraiser, the math faculty where I went to university assigned prime numbers to people who donated some amount of money.
I forget what my number was, and I doubt it was that large, but if your 128 bit number is prime, and starts (or ends? I forget which) with 2001, then you may not be the real owner:)
Efforts should be made to capture pop culture as it goes by just for the sake of history. It is interesting to think of wikipedia as just such a repository. Provided of course, as already pointed out, a copy of it is still around in 100 years.
With technology advancing as fast as it does, there is a real danger of things being left behind and forgotten.
The Computer History Museum is an interesting example of trying to capture software before it is lost.
The article does say 120 megawatts (summary added the per-day).
What's missing from your analysis is the millions currently being spent to deal with waste. Instead of burning off their landfill in 18 years, I could see this being more profitable if they accepted waste from other counties.
The waste problem suddenly changes from something they spend money on, to something that, at the very least, pays for itself.
This is exactly why I don't have any problem with downloading music. 1) Its legal for personal use. I'm not burning CDs and selling them on the street corner. 2) I've already been forced to pay a levy on all my digital media, damn right I'm going to download music to get my money's worth.
What are people's opinions of SLI as an upgrade path?
The idea is to get a single SLI card now and then go parallel in the future when needed.
The thing I wonder about is that I need to upgrade my GeForce4 Ti 4600 because it doesn't have some hardware features (ie pixel shaders 2.0) and not necessarily because its not fast enough. If this ends up being the reason for upgrading in the future, then going parallel doesn't help.
Yes, it is public domain. And as such NASA has exactly the opposite problem from most organizations when trying to contribute back to open source.

I am getting changes now, however on searches that return no results, the green bars show results that don't match up.
For example: "alkdsjfldsakjf ere" returns 75% green on Web, 50% on images, 100% on news, none of which had any results.
It appears that the green bars beside the other categories don't actually portray the number of search results for the other categories.
They remain the same from search to search, even when a given search returns no results.
Except that in more formal arguments, most would use the first definition of imply (imply == prove) as opposed to the second:
1.To involve by logical necessity
2.To express or indicate indirectly
For example, I can point to five people at my current job - each a very skilled software engineer, and each very skilled in debating other topics in current events; among those five people are 1 PhD, 2 Masters, 1 college drop-out, and 1 high school drop out. The one thing we all agree on? Much of traditional American education has become primarily a matter of rote memorization - there is very little teaching of theory and problem solving involved.
If when you say "software engineer" you mean an actual engineer, that could also be the source of rote memorization.
As someone who has a bachelor of mathematics but also took a number of courses from the engineering department, I was very frustrated by the amount of memorization in engineering. I would often ask "How do you know to do that?" and the reply would be "You just learn after a while". I struggled through an entire semester of circuit analysis in the engineering department, and things only made sense in the end after a 1 hour lecture in one of my math classes that touched on the same topic.
Kazaa behaved much better when you replaced the dlls that handled the ads with empty shells that implemented the api but did nothing.
I never had problems with spyware after doing this.
The virus will reply 'lol no this is not a virus.'
Actually, from TFA:
When unsuspecting users have responded, perhaps asking if the attachment contained a virus, the worm has replied: "lol no its not its a virus", IMlogic said.
Here in Canada, I've never had a problem getting my money from a rebate. (hard drives, video cards, mp3 players)
In fact, often its an american product and the rebate cheque comes in US dollars. bonus!
The dominant theory is that they are an inherent aspect of the dynamo processes that maintain the Earth's magnetic field. In computer simulations, it is observed that magnetic field lines can sometimes become tangled and disorganized through the chaotic motions of liquid metal in the Earth's core
There was an article last year in National Geographic about the sun. The general idea was that coronal mass ejections were caused when the rotating plasma caused the magnetic field to become so tangled that the field lines spontaneously snapped and reconfigured themselves into a lesser energy state.
I could imagine the same applying to the eath's field on larger timescales. A reversal of the field lines could occur in such a reconfiguration.
I would imagine that we would notice the warped field lines long before they came close to snapping.

Some random data is needed to generate a cryptographic identity for you.

I've always appreciated 3/14. Especially since at university it meant free pie and ice cream at 1:59.

NASA is also doing work using Eclipse as a rich client platform. They had a talk at EclipseCon about using Eclipse for the Mars rovers.
