If you can't define the angle between two non-coplanar lines, how did you solve the first part? Lets name lines A and B.
You draw line C parallel to line A so that it will intersect line B. Then you measure angle between B and C. It is the same as between A and B because A and C are parallel.
How you find such line C? You can draw plane containing A so it will intersect B in point pB and draw C through pB.
These licenses are typical neo guild tendency to promote interests of (existing, licensed) electricians, plumbers and so on at the expense of everybody else. The same problem I think exist with medics. I often hear cries to introduce licenses for engineers or programmers. There is of course politicians to blame, but it is natural, because it is important issue for example electricians, but not so important for other people and other people don't usually clearly understand their interests. I think consumer advocates should protect consumers against such attacks, but they apparently prefer to fight corporations.

Furthermore, the U.S. is a net importer of food.
USA is net Exporter of food (look http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/FATUS/), through USA is running huge deficit in other trade items.
Corn price is directly connected to prices of most USA consumed food.
Corn is exported in volume about 21 mln. ton a month and is dominating food export item for USA. Second place is Soybeans.
Currently alcohol is made from corn, this situation becoming fixed by agriculture politics and subsidies, all other options like cellulose alcohol are just fairy tales.
Corn prices raised and continue to rise already. There is no "if" here.
Rising demand for corn from subsidies leads to increase of production from less optimal fields and to switching from other cultures and so to increased corn (and other food) costs and prices, not to decreased waste.
Pity that majority of linux users don't work in your department.
It would be interesting what you would say if windows only worked in Microsoft.
One more moment that there are about 100 Linux distributions (and each is used by somebody) - and each one of them has to distribute patch for this vulnerability, automatically or not. - seems like great waste of efforts if you compare this with Microsoft situation.
I recently installed XP - no such problems at all. Of course, usually you want to have drivers for your hardware - they are usually supplied with hardware or obtained over internet.
SATA - installed, never any problems at all. Only older Linux didn't see SATA drives.
Lan cards - only problems I had with Lan cards recently were with Solaris. With XP I never had any problems at all.
Sound cards - usually no noticeable problems with windows. If you have problems - in Windows you go to device manager, switch of some sound devices and install drivers - it usually works. In Linux - for me it either work - or it doesn't work and you cannot do anything.
Video cards - usually have to install easily installable video driver. Much bigger problems with Linux.
I just recently tried to install FC6 - it was definitely not ready for anything. ATI drivers didn't work, monitor dual-head didn't work, software updating didn't work or worked with errors, instead of Java you are feed GCJ, and so on, eventually it switched to some basic windows manager from Gnome - and I couldn't understand how to switch it back - of course if you KNOW linux some change in some configuration file would probably done this.
Actually FC becomes worse with each new edition, I remember FC4 was better, FC5 worse than FC4, and looks like FC6 is even worse than FC5.
I suspect that Red Hat model of using FC as testing ground doesn't work too well for people that want FC to be reliably working Linux.
I then tried Ubuntu 6.06 (not latest edition) - I didn't understand what was going on with ATI drivers, but they started working somehow, generally it looks better and with less bugs than FC6. Still to make MP3 work wasn't trivial, and I only used software from their store - don't know what would happen if I used not Ubuntu software. In windows I use software with installers from any sources and they generally work.
I believe this is Canada problem, and I am sure they can solve it, if they choose to do so, much earlier than 2050. How authors can decide for Canada what they will do and call this "SCIENCE" is beyond me.
I think if 80 people came to disrupt and film business it would be fair if they are arresetd for business disruption and tresspassing and had to pay for lost business (if any).
Java will never lose to Ruby / Python / PHP, at the least because Java is faster, and allows fast multithreading programming on many processors/cores - which Python/Ruby don't allow. I don't know about multithreading on PHP, but PHP is too specialized, and I am doubt very much that it is substantial threat to Java.
The pebble bed designs don't have this negative feedback in their design, they just try to make the fuel elements more tolerant of extreme temperatures.
Don't PBR have negative temperature coefficient? May be they will stop after heating somewhat.
On the other side, Chernobyl RMBK reactor had positive water coefficient, because they had graphite moderator, and water just captured neutrons.
Pebble bed reactors are designed to fail safely. If the flow of coolent stops, so does the reaction. The fuel is safely encased in tennis ball-sized graphite "pebbles" which are dropped in the top of the reactor and retrieved at the bottom. For there to be a release of the radioactive material, the pebble has to be broken open. Even if that happens, the amount that's released is very tiny.
There is a problem with fire, since the pebbles are graphite, but fire is a lot easier to deal with than a melt-down.
I don't thing that pebble bed reactor is inherently safer. At the least, you can fill usual LWR with water with boron, and it will be cooled by water.
If water gets into PBR, it will burn and probably hydrogen will explode. If air gets into PBR, it will also burn. I think if reactor will burn, it will not hold radioactive material. Without water, you have to pump high pressure helium to extract heat, which can be difficult after accident.
Because Pocket PC screen is too small. It is substantially smaller than typical paperback size - which is probably optimal for mobile reading.
I also read books on Palm, but better larger screen could be definitely useful. Other question is, will Sony deliver on this.
I applaud you comment. I would also add that we will be feeding fishes with these killed birds. (and also protect fishes from being caught after few fishing boats will drown after collisions with out wind farms).
I run Eclipse OK on win ME with 128 MB. (Some time ago)
I look now - it takes about the same memory as FireFox - about 100 MB - and starts in about the same time, may be little slower, I would say about 4 seconds (Eclipse 3.1) - it also very rarely hangs, and you can do everything inside it (more than in Visual Studio), so you have no reason to close it often..

I hate Eclipse. ... I still can't figure out how to make it debug.
This is really funny. But I think it is very difficult to refrain from opinions like that.I have little bit experience with gcj on Fedora - and I completely disagree with this statement. On Fedora even supplied Eclipse didn't work.
So what should you use to control nuclear reactor? C++? In my very limited experience with control code Java probably would be improvement.

If you define as rat any animal that can live near man, they planet Earth will soon be occupied by man and rats by definition.

And how you use your Gigabyte of memory in DOS? And what browser you use? Or really hardcore users don't use browsers?
I applaud you comment. I would also add that we will be feeding fishes with these killed birds. (and also protect fishes from being caught after few fishing boats will drown after collisions with out wind farms).

Eclipse is written on Java - and works not very fast, but Fast enough. But is doesn't use Swing or AWT.
