I'm curious how you'd measure the current of a superconducting ring without disturbing it. I suppose you could measure the magnetic field it creates, but it seems like that would disturb the field, and thus disturb the current.
Actually, instead of webmail, what I do is run a qmail/imap server at home, then just SSH there and forward local port 143 through to my box at home... that way you have to go so far as to run a keylogger to read what I'm sending. The same works with squid for browsing.
"If a large part of the passengers are armed, what is today a bit of loud yelling followed by a pair of handcuffs for the rest of the fligth may easily turn into a gunfight. I consider it likely this would happen dozens of times before you experience the first case where all the guns in the plane actually *benefit* security."
My solution is not to merely *allow* weapons on planes, but to actively *issue* them to passengers. Just give every passenger over 21 (or whatever) a big nasty 6" knife at the gate. You think 9/11 would have happened if they knew they'd get stuck 5 times the second they threatened anyone?:P
Subsonic? Aside from the fact that 'subsonic' has no meaning in space... TFA says that Voyager I is moving at 3.6 AU/year, which is 38,219 mph or 61,507 kph... hardly what I would call subsonic under any circumstances.:)
Normally, I'd agree with you, but as a homeowner, there are other considerations: 1 - I don't want to have to look at a trash heap every day 2 - I want to be able to sell my house some day, and prospective buyers don't like looking at trash heaps, either.
Any city has property codes you can look at before you move there - don't like them? Don't move there. Same goes for homeowners covenants & restrictions. And those rules are there for a reason. All it takes is ONE house in a neighborhood that looks trashy to start the whole area downhill. Maybe YOU don't care about the value of YOUR house, but your neighbors probably care about theirs.
er... tritium has a mass of just over 3 grams per mole... if the previous poster was correct with the $100,000/g price for tritium, your 15W battery would only cost about $300,000. Bit much for a laptop, don't you think?
Actually, my experience has been that the parents tend to stay *later*. My last two jobs, my boss had kids, and he'd always find any possible excuse to stick around as late as possible. I guess so that he wouldn't have to deal with feeding them, etc? Dunno, but it was always annoying, because he'd come in at 4:30 with some project he was going to work on this evening and expect help, not realizing that some people have a life outside work.
Given that most cancer treatments basically consist of poisoning yourself in the hopes that the cancer dies before you do, being able to completely and reliably stop a cancer from spreading during treatment seems like a big bonus.
"Personally, I don't think either theory runs afoul of Hebrew/Christian concepts of God. After all, the scriptures don't say: "And The Lord made light." The say: "And The Lord said, 'let there be light.'" It almost makes it sound like the creation of the universe was pretty much the tacit act of allowing it to come into existance."
I think you're definately on the right track here. Take Genesis 1:20-21 (from KJV):
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
God said, "Let the waters bring forth..." and then goes on to say "...God created [stuff]...which the waters brought forth..."
To me, that's very open to interperetation, and could easily mesh with evolution. Also, if you take it as given that God is omniscient, is it too much of a stretch to say that he could set up the entire universe to proceed acording to plan before He 'pushed the button' on the Big Bang?
There is still one problem, though... Genesis says that plants came before the sun and moon, which is kind of hard to reconcile with any kind of logic...
When a kid leaves the school and tries to get a job and says "Yes, I am proficient in OpenOffice", how many employers are going to say "That's great, but we use M$ Office..."
I'm actually using this very argument to help get OO.org's foot in the door at the school where I work. The computer literacy teacher is worried that the students are learning "MS Word" when they should be learning "word processing." So I pointed out that I could load OOo in her lab, and she could switch them back and forth so they don't get too attached to any one piece of software.
When I started working two days a week at an elementary/middle school, (if you think hospital computers are bad, try computer lab computers after a school-full of grade-schoolers has been sneezing on them all day) I would get sick maybe once every 3-4 months, despite any amount of hand-washing, etc. After about a year of that, it tapered off, and damn near nothing will get me sick anymore. About the only thing that will is catching something from my housemate - and the bug that keeps him home for a week will just put me a bit under the weather for half a day.
So be sure to take your vitamins.. and your germs.:)

Well, SCO itself obviously outputs 1.0 SCOs worth of FUD, so that would seem to be the benchmark. Most people would then be rated from 0-1 SCOs, unless, God forbid, they manage to out-FUD SCO and earn >1.0...

Except FiOS has inbound port 80 and 25 blocked, and a no-server policy... totally useless.

Do you even actually own a house?

Or is it actually possible to get them to sell you cable internet without any tv attached?
