You do know how to run BitTorrent, don't you? A. Don't take every word literary.
B. I recently got a complaint when I posted sthng related to BSG that my post is a spoiler. Why would that other retarded aussie would complain if BSG was not airing down under? Most likely the show is airing there in a public or subsciber channel and you have not taken notice.
Who was the retarded mod who gave his pathetic post +1?
"For that matter, most students in the US system are bad students. The way many lectures SHOULD work (especially in the sciences) is, you read the relevant section of the text before class, and then keep the text open while the teacher lectures and fills in the gaps in your understanding. In my experience TAing in the US, very few students have the discipline to actually prepare for lecture"
Well would definetely yield better understanding in lectures, but from my experience as a graduate student it is not always feasible. In particular, when you are in a very time-constrained schedule you don;t always have the luxury to be one lecture ahead. Actually, most of the times you are behind. Unless of course you are attending a ridiculously easy curriculum...
The goal of university education is not only for students to understand perfectly some small piece of information. It is also to teach people to manage bulks of information thrown at them at a very fast rate. To quote you: "especially in sciences..."
And you are right not to like it. In ancient greek "SKOTOS" means darkness. So it is connotated with evil, lack of intellectual progress, conspiracy whatever...
Not to mention the fact that an idiot could think that "scotus" is the latin of "skotos"...
It seems that the next generation of Marines will be geeks with glasses that have mastered the art of delivering
virtual headshots, only in the near future the shooting will be real. Really it should take almost the same set of skills to be a good AA or Counter-Strike player and to effectively operate an advanced remote-controlled "Terminator"
Has it occured to you that by playing the FPS o today we are actually being trained to fight the future 21st century wars... ?
"The greatest challenge for the traditional media now is to engage with more demanding, questioning and better educated consumers, adapting their products for new technology,"
This is from the same guy that brought us the O'Reilly Factor. I think his statement qualifies as
"Most Ridiculous Item" of the day.
it's not like I told you that Baltar becomes president, they end-up in a semi-habitable planet, most of the dudes settle there and after one year the Cylons come and catch them of guard. Of course those residing on the planet surrender.
The good think is that the Cylons decide not to exterminate them immediately...
Now this I call spoiler... Letting you know that a minor incident like a navigation error happened to an unimportant crew is not a spoiler...
Did they discuss how we can reduce the risk of jumping/exiting hyperspace/getting out of warp and ending up into large mass concentrations (planets, stars etc).
It is a real problem. One of the BSG raptor crews ended up in a mountain two weeks ago...
"The problem with the crocodile is that anyone examining fossilized croc bones already knows what a modern croc looks like and what it does. They can't really speculate about what the fossils mean without considering the modern equivalent. Modern science has no knowledge of this animal so the interpretation of the fossil record is not tainted by that."
A scientist doing a serious job evaluating the fossil analysis techniques would use the exact same methodology used to examine the fossils of extinct animals to examine the fossils of the crocodile. His speculations would be derived using that established methodology and he would directly compare it to the actual facts. If he can't get over the psychological factor that he already knows the actual facts then he wouldn't be a good scientist.
"Regarding evolution since then... That's not really an issue. They can look at what's similar with the modern animal vs. the fossil and see what it means in terms of the modern animal. Then they compare that to what they thought it meant in the fossil and they can critique their methods for interpreting the fossil. They can ignore any differences that have cropped up in the mean time as there is nothing to directly compare with that."
This makes no sense. It may be hard to tell which differences are due to bad fossil analysis and which are due to evolution.
"Of course examining the changes is interesting for other reasons, like investigating evolution."
This is already being done with non-extinct animals (including humans ) and their predecessors fossils.
"It represents a rare opportunity to compare assumptions derived from the fossil record and an actual living specimen to determine overall accuracy of the techniques involved. This discovery also provides a compelling argument for preservation efforts in Southeast Asia.'"
Flawed statement for two reasons:
a) If you could compare million years old fossils with today's living creatures of the same species to determine the accuracy of the technique, why not do it for animals known to have existed that far back (e.g crocodiles, some iguanas etc)
b) Most importantly, if they find inaccuracies in the conclusions extracted from the fossil record of the thought to be extinct animal, how can they be sure that it is not evolution that caused the differences? In other words, the species in question involved a little, so that it does not match the fossil record. Point (b) also counters my point (a).
"In DMFC the electrolyte is a polymer and the charge carrier is the hydrogen ion (proton). However, the liquid methanol (CH3OH) is oxidized in the presence of water at the anode generating CO2, hydrogen ions and the electrons that travel through the external circuit as the electric output of the fuel cell. The hydrogen ions travel through the electrolyte and react with oxygen from the air and the electrons from the external circuit to form water at the anode completing the circuit.
It seems that the by product is some CO2 and hydrogen which most likely is turned into water.
What I dont know is the volume of the produced gases and whether or not they are actually released in the atmosphere or somehow stored in the cell where they can be released upon refueling or at another time. My guess is that the volume/mass of the produced gases are no more than what is produced by simply burning methanol of the volume of a cartridge.
That's not a lot but could potentially contribute to the greenhouse-effect if everybody starts using them instead of batteries. It would also be a big problem indeed in closed spaces such as planes.
Anybody knowns some answers and what the actual masses/volumes of the by products are? Also anybody knows if those are released upon reaction in the atmosphere or can be released on demand?
Is the reviewer clueless of crypto history?
"This is shown to be one of the enduring themes of the story of cryptography, leading right through to the 1970s where credit for developing the RSA cryptographic technique went to Diffie, Hellman and Merkle in 1975, despite being developed in 1969 at GCHQ, a fact that was only publicly admitted in 1997"
RSA=Rivest Shamir Adleman.
Diffie, hellman and Mercle introduced the concept public key crypto. Diffie and Hellman based their DH scheme on the difficulty of the discrete log problem.
RSA introduced public key crypto based on the hardness of factorization of a large composite.
Chinese authorities could do so, but at least Google would not facilitate it all the way. Google wouldn't aggregate the data and allow specific queries on them to discover "traitor" or "enemy of the state" patterns in them. It would only represent for a few convenient network nodes for eavesdropping to take place. The Chinese would still have to come up with their own techniques to make sense out of the eavesdropped data.

Anode Reaction: CH3OH + H2O => CO2 + 6H+ + 6e-
