Probably the best explanation I've come across in quite some time.
I've lived in the Sahara with no air conditioning. Hot? Yes. Livable? Yup. Is it worth our time and effort to pour billions into politicized science, when we will in nearly every scenario do better to invest those dollars elsewhere? Not. A. Chance.
You're missing the whole story. There's the issue of the 'Old Covenant' vs. the 'New Covenant', and how Christ fulfilled the law (this being God's plan all along: see Old Testament discussions of the Messiah). The idea is that there are repercussions for breaking God's laws, and Christ ended up paying the price for us through His sacrifice.
Perhaps a better understanding of what exactly the Old Testament represents to Christians would provide a better understanding of these conundrums? And perhaps the logic of a being that exists outside even time wouldn't necessarily have the same basis as our reasoning?
Damned Straight. I'm sorry, but who we elect as our leader is up to us, not Norway, or Sweden, or Africa for that matter. I'm not saying it doesn't affect them, I'm saying it's not their choice, and I don't need their approval. In fact, I could give a crap whether they approve of who I vote for or not.
While I'm glad the Nobel Peace Prize committee seems to like our current president, if he screws up now, he (and they) will have all sorts of mud on their faces.
Seconded. I haven't actually said anything about up 'til now but I'm not going to buy a game I have to log in to their specific server to play. The fun is in the LAN parties where it takes no time to set up and play a bunch of people at once.
If they're going to be Microsoft-esque in making sure my copy is genuine, I'll just go play something else. There are plenty of games out there that can be just as fun without the bullshit.
Not only that, but the ability measure longitude at sea was pretty much nonexistent until at least the 15th century, and latitude not that much before. The idea that a map from any time before that could be remotely accurate for absolute distances on Earth from a ship at sea is ridiculous.
The _readable_ transcription of Mark in this copy (if you look at the page, you can see that there are illegible marks at the end of the book) ends before discussion the resurrection, but Matthew Luke and John all describe the resurrection. FTFY.
A pretty good approximation for a society that usually measured them using their forearms, if you ask me. Round 3.14 to the nearest cubit, what do you have? Very closely, 3.
Really? Come on now, I own a rifle, does that mean I shoot people? I have strong encryption on my hard drive, does that make me a terrorist?
In all honesty, my rifle, my 4096-bit encrypted hard drive, and the idea that I choose the best operating system or combination thereof that suits me as a consumer do nothing but support the idea that I am a law-abiding, dutiful citizen.
Not trying to flame here, just trying to put the perspective straight - we've been in Iraq since 2003. That's longer than our involvement in World War II (1941-1945) , but less than the 16 year Vietnam Conflict - In fact, if you don't count Vietnam, this is the longest major conflict we've been a main aggressor in since the American Revolution (8 years).
The congressional budget office studied exactly this (distributed generation) in 2003 after the blackout, and determined that there would be significant economic and infrastructural benefits from such a system - it would, however, require a significant overhaul of our existing grid to control all the variable power being added. In the end, it's been largely ignored, Heaven knows why.
There are a lot of merits to a system like this, among them energy independence, as well as infrastructure security. If each city block or even city for that matter is generating its own power, how can you attack that infrastructure on a national scale?
Lame indeed! This basically exploits the fact that you can easily write and execute code - find me an operating system where you can't do this.
The whole scheme hinges on the user being an idiot in terms of what they open in their email - seems to me there's little in the way of guarding against such 'vulnerabilities'...build a more idiot-proof system and the world will build a bigger idiot.
was actually drawing 15 watts... At current prices, that power consumption cost me about as much as a subscription to TV Guide magazine!
A constant draw of 15 watts is (15/1000)*24*30 = 10.8 Kwh/month. Even at the most expensive prices in the US (20 cents per Kwh), this is roughly two dollars a month.
If you're looking for good applications problems, I would look in any graduate level engineering textbook. This is exactly what we deal with.
If you're interested in PDE's, start with a heat transfer book or a fluids book. Just go to your local college bookstore and look at what books the professors are using, then get them cheap on amazon.
It is indeed the most efficient thermal engine we know of. Whoever said they're terrible in terms of efficiency is, for the most part, incorrect. They're difficult to implement because of the extremely tight tolerances needed to maintain such high efficiency, but you can achieve efficiencies at least as good as or better than a typical car engine (28% is usual for the car, 35-40% is easily achieved with a stirling engine, depending on the operating points).
The problem isn't that they're difficult to get up tospeed, but rather that they tend to operate at a constant speed. This is related to the pressure inside the engine, so the only way to vary its natural operating speed is to add or remove pressure from the chamber. It was this added system that drove the Ford's engine to failure because of the extreme complexity needed to control the speed.
This engine does make an ideal charger. I'm excited to see the results in production.
Perhaps you could contact a University with a good CS program, or something of the like. You could fund a few grad students to develop your program for beans, with the stipulation that the source code be GPL'd. Grad students can be cheap, believe me - I am one, and I make a whole lot less than minimum wage.
The reasons for this are less that they don't want to share the information, and more that you can't include such things in most papers because of page restrictions/time restrictions on the publication/presentation. It is usually assumed anyone _that_ interested would know how to plug these things into an RK4 (etc), so he can get on with what his work really means.
That said, my solution to this has been to include a url with all my relevant source code in the references section of all the papers I've published. It's a professional way to include the information without having to deal with the publication's restrictions, and I wish I saw more of it, especially as journals go electronic and have no excuse for such small page limits.
I was traveling through Cincinnati Int'l, where you have to go through security to get out of the airport (which is dumb as hell) - I speak french, and had just arrived from Paris. I witnessed firsthand a TSA employee trying to wrongfully take something from a person who clearly didn't speak English, and the employee was taking advantage of this - it wasn't until I intervened and demanded a supervisor come before the agent let up.
What the fuck is up with this?? If this is SOP for Security Theater, the sooner the TSA and DHS fall apart, the better.

This is a good example of a world gone mad. Since when is every individual a suspected terrorist? Terrorists are an absolute, absolute minority.
FTFY.

Personally, I don't have a lawyer like the rest of you snobs.
:-D
Savage just doesn't sound like the name of a guy who would go into law, you know? My gun is rather loud and intimidating though
Incidentally, my hard drive is virtual.

LOL Shrinkage is production that doesn't make it out the door, i.e.: defunct product.

Yes. I'm developing one for that specific purpose.

...before they are renting software instead of selling it, and the consumer is devoid of any rights thereto?

Yeah, but how are you going to get it to efficiently split up all the processes, and how much bandwidth do you have between the processors?

Or the other one...the pilot with a .40 Glock who's trained to kill people with it under his arm. I know, my brother is one.
