just to get this straight the Final Solution did not have anything to do with war. It is plain and simple a crime against humanity.
Whether they received proper warning or not is still debatable. as normal bunkers would not work against nukes.
BTW there were treaties for surrender with Russia. The US just wanted to A. test the bomb; B. show the bomb to Russia. C. have Japan surrender to them instead of Russia so to have a base in the pacific; D. get revenge for PH; in order of importance.
1. One of the reasons Geim got the Nobel was that he "discovered" graphene. However, the paper the committee is using to establish the date he discovered it (2004) in fact has no reference to graphene but rather graphite, it's well-known cousin. This is an important distinction because a few other groups have graphene papers around the same time.
I am a physicist too and want to add a piece of info. The complainer purports that he had already obtained those results in graphene in 2004 but "did not realize it".
This claim is what makes me throw away his claims altogether. Even taking the statement at face value if he did not realize the contribution to the subject is exactly zero, or maybe even misleading.
I say this as one who was told "we basically did the same thing before you" about one of my papers when, in fact, they did not.
Replying to myself to clarify: it is completely possible that there is a full toolchain available with which one can build Symbian applications on linux. There were a few unofficial scripts and they have dished out a "remote compiler" service mainly for this reason.
But there is a huge disconnect where they cannot properly communicate to freelance programmers like me what we have to do to have a supported SDK that will not disappear and be updated for the next Symbian version. I am sure that their commercial partners are well served.

The Qt 4.7 SDK—which includes the toolkit, a build environment, and the Qt Creator development environment—is available today for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Mobile flavors of the Qt 4.7 toolkit have also been released, but the mobile SDK isn't available quite yet. It's a bit confusing, due to Nokia's slightly eccentric branding. The mobile SDK, which is called the Nokia Qt SDK, is not the same thing as the Qt SDK.
In my case because there is a market for people that don't want to develop for a dumbed down linux and want a real development environment.
Also of note the fact that they recently increased the planned releases for Symbian^3 (four phones now on WP) that Symbian^2 phones keep being released in the Japanese market and Symbian^1 is alone probably domnant in the smartphone market overall.
If they could finally get a Symbian SDK working on linux I would jump on it immediately. Linux needs terribly high specs, Symbian is impressive in this sense and I could easily keep two/three test phones for hobby development.
But I digress: if the choice is a linux distro and Android I will buy the linux distro, so I can install every possible package I already have on my desktop/laptop.
Facebook turned to Microsoft to implement the latest creepy feature obtained from harvesting user data. Somehow my trust in Google has just increased a bit. Surely they are not privacy fanatics, and they may be just laying low after the StreetView WiFi scandal, but still...
Eigen is probably the best starting point, since it is quite used (so your work is not too obscured), simple to extend, with good help from main programmers. Another project that would be nice to extend is GiNaC. They have a TODO list with different difficulty levels.
They did not have the power to decide the economic policy of the government anymore than any other voting citizen. So they are as responsible as any other citizen. Responsibility only applies if you can do something. If you blame someone that cannot do anything you are just a whiner. To be clear: What exactly should they have done?
Not at all. If a community does not self-regulate it is because:
a) it does not want do do it, or
b) it is not able to do it.
Whichever is true, a fund cut will only cut the total output, and not change the quality at all. I am amazed at how many people think that a fund cut means better quality. It does not work like that, never worked like that and will never do, in science, health or any other sector.
I really hate these articles because they make me feel like an incompetent programmer. I have never had a cold call from any of these companies. They really do that?? What am I doing wrong???
Reading Slashdot too much? Just guessing: I was never called either.
Disregarding for a moment the fact that this was announced a few months ago, here is an explanation of what this actually means for developers from a developer of Gallium3D. It explains why there will be no flood of games ported from Windows, and why we should still support a truly open API like OpenGL.
Because the Republican who gets in, in 2012 will face the same problems Obama did, and that guy isn't going to make a miracle happen either. And then you people, who blame everything on Obama will finally have to admit that the turkey you voted for aint any better.
You poor thing... you really think that is ever going to happen? Whose fault was 90% of the problems during GWB's administration? Clinton's! And the remaining 10%? Jimmy Carter's, why ask!
It is not only sentimental value. The real owner could have bought the house at a much higher price. He could have been restructuring and waiting for the market price to be favorable.
As it worked out it is effectively as if he was forced to sell. At a time where the real estate market is still wonky I can imagine he may have lost a lot of money. There is people that invests in stocks, some invest in land. It could be a life's saving that suddenly loses 10% of the value, without him doing anything, so I do feel sorry for the guy.
Sorry for asking dumb questions, but who will pay?
And let me add, whatever weasel words you may want to use, that the decision can only be considered reasonable if you believe that without the vaccine the girl would be better. So they are effectively saying that the vaccene is the cause or probable cause of the current situation. When whoever has to pay fights this decision back it should be easy to have it overturned.
Moreover this just makes everyone angry. It would be undestandable if they made the guilty party pay whatever future expenses may occur. Fixing a price, any price, on the condition is crazy. What if expenses become higher? lower? What if she is cured?
You don't need that much bandwidth to [...] or browse non *tube sites.
You wish! I can totally feel the sites being slow when I am not on 3G. And this is with plugins blocked. Even being far from the originating place will hurt loading time considerably. There are homepages (mind you, it is and should be the most frequently accessed page) that weight 1MiB, and this is for ISP websites! If I am not at peak speed it can take three-four seconds to load them. I feel back in 1995...
You have it completely backwards. This is not about deciding science through lawsuit, but exactly the opposite.
You listed things that are controversial and/or lacking data. Those fields need serious debate and need to be free from baseless libel suits. And for the uncontroversial ones scientists need to be free to say "X is a bogus idea" without overpowerful organizations try to get their asses in court.
With Google where? It seems an important omission...
Besides, good point, I did not think of it as a trend, but it looks reasonable. If I can do a bit of armchair economics analysis I suspect they could be scared of Chinese competition that is emerging?
I am not speaking of outsourcing because these are the guys that practice outsourcing. Does anyone here know what powers chinese networks? If it is a single company with unpronounceable name that is unknown to people in this side of the world I think Cisco is rightly scared.
The same could be true for other companies if they discovered that there is a chinese homologous they may be trying to grow big before their would-be competitor wakes up.
Not at all. That comment is related to a single example where it could have been possible to add some equipment but it did not happen. It does not prove that all innovation is stifled by the evil pilots that like crashing to the ground every now and then.
The bit on tape recorders is false as well, so innovation does actually happen. Just we are not going to see GBlackBox(beta) "search you crashes" anytime soon.
Also there is no evidence whatsoever that anyone in the field is giving shit about this proposal.

If the Turkish people don't want to help the USA don't they deserve government that does not help the USA? The whole democracy issue.

Only if you somehow make it illegal to open the parachute. The if he makes it to the ground alive, disbar him. It's a win-win situation.

Not something I'd run on my machine...
Agreed, that is why demangled and run through gdb. I mean, bytecode? without explanation? What kind of "security" do they speak about?
why the fuck do they need to
apart making the code horrible? Seems like an entry for IOCCC. I don't trust this check at all! Wtf is doing this?
Regardless, it fails on my pc at
A little search shows they just took the public exploit and mangled names plus other small changes. Are they joking?
But it may still be at a loss wrt what he paid back then. It is as if he was forced to sell, while he wanted the sale to be profitable.

Put enough comments in your code so that five years from now you (and others) can remember what you indented the code to do.
