That's the simplest explaination I've seen for that problem yet.
Nicely put!
Also, solution 1 is more reliable. Solution 2 depends on the bulb not being made to operate at a higher voltage than it's running on. If it was, there's a chance it wouldn't die in 10 years or more.
You don't know which door the one that lies is in front of. So your question taught you which one lies, but you get no information about the doors.
You don't care who lies.
You do care about which door is which.
With any parallelogram (Rhombii, Rectangles, and Squares are all parallelograms), if you split it through the center point, you end up with two pieces of equal size. They are also rotationally symmetric.
The locked doors thing is amusing. Everyone is going to get a solid lesson in legalese when this round of internet bullshit is through.
Re: internet isn't "rural" anymore
Interesting analogy.
So ethernets parallel apartment complexes.
Does anyone know where the bathroom is?
How about the landfill?
I don't know if we've achieved internet based sewage processing yet. A lot of blogs could use it.
You realize the reason MSG was used so extensively in asian cooking is because it increases the umeminess, the flavor you taste in meats and fish sauces. (Umemi is from japanese, the words umai: excellent, and mi or aji: taste) You can check wikipedia for more info if you don't believe in the awesomeness of the fifth flavor.
Actually, what happens if all three are used in tandem?
Use magnetic fields to shield the ship from plasma by funneling it into a reactor rather than repelling it.
The solar flare blocks radiation, fuels the ship, and could potentially provide enough fuel to solve the bone mass issue.
The bone mass issue is caused by being in zero G, but if you're constantly under acceleration, you don't suffer from being in zero G. You also go places much faster than if you allow yourself to travel in free fall.
Accelerate the first half of the trip, turn around and accelerate the other direction the second half, and you have launch, the day you turn around, and landing in zero G.
Not a horrible solution, don't you think?
Larry Niven had some great ideas when it came to magnets and hydrogen reactors. Even capturing plasma flying out of a solar flare will accelerate you because you absorb energy from the plasma in capturing it!
You want to know what happens when we think of the children...
Gene Wilder is replaced by Edward Scissorhands and the Chocolate factory is ruined.
And then, after the chidlers sit and watch that rendition of a great book a million times, they are certain to become the derainged individuals we've mentioned a million times.
I agree that people shouldn't be buying kids under 13 R movies and games which deserve an equivalent rating, but maybe the fact people are buying these things for their kids is that our society values financial progress over social sustinence.
I don't have kids yet, but it's certainly interesting to watch the kids in yours and your friends families develop. It's a lot harder to produce a smart, thoughtful, self-respecting, and socially stable individual than people give credit, but it's also a lot harder to ruin one than supplying fairly violent games.
Well, we have IBM standing up and saying it won't discriminate on Genetic Makeup... What are the odds of people not descriminating on things like that! Free information isn't just going to affect us. It's going to affect a lot of people in higher places with dirtier habits. In that respect, it could be very interesting to see where this goes.
Bets are they'll still send guys the breast implant spam, and girls the phallic enlargement spam. I can see Google taking a big interest in expanding its targeted ads technology. Plus, it could be interesting to be able to 'compose' your own to mess with the system. Probably wouldn't be too hard. They are passive devices after all. Not much security in a static device.
Which is why 8 inch bolt cutters and VCRs are illegal.
It's also why you can read magnetic strips with tape players or a creative re-engineering of a hand magnet.
How about paying for things with cash and legally wiping the data from a nice wall powered unit. Pass near, push button, big brother takes a flash in the face... Say Cheese!
You're forgetting that you can reference the index itself, since the index is itself the largest possible subset of the index. So you wouldn't need the data redundancy.
So it depends on what we can consider data, and what the development of additional technologies beyond web dev alone are capable of.
The question is how much of this can be run simultaneously. Parallel processing is an interesting aspect of google that allows it to speed up operations that would normally take significantly longer. Of course, indexing *current* human knowledge by hand could take millennia...
Half are +1/2
Half are -1/2
All are distributed with uniform randomness across the full of the universe, clustering in areas with positive charge (for normal electrons, negative charge for positrons, which are also considered a type of beta particle and must be included in the count of electrons to make the first statements accurate)
They had a Terabyte of storage at the time, which I'll assume was maxed out with information as a starting point (it obviously couldn't have been, but for the sake of an argument): http://www.google.com/corporate/history.html
Now, 6 years later, they have 170 terabytes of data indexed. With processing power doubling every 2 years, cost of storage dropping at about the same rate, as well as assuming their ability to target customers with ads improving linearly, we can probably assume their growth will be exponential. (This is where I make my big guess)
Lets say that they've grown following the equation C*(e**(t/k)). C is at time 0, which is 1TB. We find k by saying 1TB*(e**(6yrs/k))=170TB.
6 years / (ln(170TB/1TB)) = k k = 1.168 years ish.
so following the same growth rate, when does 1TB(e**(t yrs/1.168yrs))=5,000,000TB
ln(5,000,000) * 1.168 years = 18 years.
Please check my math and post if you disagree or have a different estimate.
I'm also not accounting for the fact that we are going to be producing information at an increasing rate as well, which could mean they will never catch up.
so it all depends on how you pick the equations.
They're probably taking a much more conservative look at potential growth.
If everyone just doesn't want a massive 100MB suite to write a grocery lists, why aren't more people using WordPad. The only thing I need that it doesn't have with respect to documents is syntax highlighting and line numbering.
I think that people are just goin nuts because everyone loves to hate microsoft. The product is already out there, and if you have windows, it's on your machine.
The thing even reads most word documents and handles unicode fine. It also can read/n or/r eols instead of just the/r/n windows returns.
Yes, I'm still looking for a better DB and spreadsheet editor, but people really love to get carried away.
Plus, does everyone want everything they run connected to google. At some point the discussion will flip to big brother issues again.
Fun watching people suck themselves into it.

Do you know which mathmatc principle is the driving force behind it? I'll post the answer after someone guesses so it's deeper

Re: dvd companies...I concur.

Hey, check it out! I'm in the lead!!!! ^_^
OK, so lets take a look at a 'Math Exercise' and see how far off it is from their estimate.
r =4866&topic=367&hl=en
Google started in September 1998: http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answe
They had a Terabyte of storage at the time, which I'll assume was maxed out with information as a starting point (it obviously couldn't have been, but for the sake of an argument): http://www.google.com/corporate/history.html
Now, 6 years later, they have 170 terabytes of data indexed.
