Well, that's not quite what I meant. Let me rephrase that.
anybody that's ever used a calculator knows you have to use just one of those systems at a time for your particular calculator.
I'd imagine it's also the thousands of existing sites like phone books, real estate sites, etc. that link to Mapquest for mapping services. I'd be interested to know how many PEOPLE visit Google Maps vs. Mapquest if you take those embedded, no choice links out of the picture.
Dimensionless or not, in the real world (i.e. not in math class - and you really have to pick one way in math class, too), you have to pick one system of representing it and use that to send to your functions (see sin() as an example).
That Wikipedia page you referred to us using the derived unit of "radians". There are a couple of different ways to represent that number - degrees, radians, grads. Hell, anybody that's ever used a calculator knows you have to use just one of those systems for your particular calculator.
Nice try, but do a little more research before posting and blasting somebody's article with illogical arguments.
So if someone steals your SSN and fraudulently obtains a credit card, it's the institution's fault? It is when the institutions are the ones leaking data like a sieve. Employee theft, unencrypted data by the megabyte on stolen laptops, lax security on internal networks and external facing systems, etc...
Have you ever called the billing department for a cell phone company? It takes three or four calls before they even have an inkling about what the problems is, much less working towards a solution. I'd think that 25 calls is more a reflection on the type of service the company is offering (or not offering) rather than the customer.
I'm just wondering that if we REDUCE the CO2 in the atmosphere on Mars, how's that going to make the temperature go UP? Isn't CO2 the deadly greenhouse gas we all know and love?
This is what I got from the article: the mass of a kilogram is not based on anything fundamental (like a number of atoms), it is based on the mass of a prototype. I thought the whole system revolved around water? 1 cubic centimeter of water is 1 gram, so a cubic decimeter of water is 1 kilogram. Now all we have to have is that extremely accurate measurement of length and the rest falls into place.;)
He was talking about emissions from the fuel cell itself.
Oxidation -- Loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion. Oxidation is accompanied by an increase in oxidation number on the atoms, molecules, or ions that lose electrons.
Combustion -- The rapid oxidation of fuel gases accompanied by flame and the production of heat, or heat and light.
You are the fool. There is no combustion in a hydrogen fuel cell and there is no CO2 byproduct either (pretty sure that's true for ALL types fuel cells). See here.
OPEC and Oil and Power Corporations And where are you going to get that propane or LPG from? Where do you think that stuff comes from anyway? Hell, even most of the hydrogen that's made today is pulled out of natural gas and who do you think gets that stuff out of the ground?
Then he proceeds to say since mythtv cant do HDTV and Media center can, he is going to hold off on HDTV. Did you read the same post I did? The author states that he held off of HDTV because he didn't have any HDTV signals where he was, not that Myth won't do HDTV. It does HDTV nicely, in fact. Interesting that the next post after the article stated something about the front end crashing the backend. I've had my Myth box up for about 60 days now (last downtime was a power outage) and neither the front or backend has crashed at all.
I would rather each developer create their own self-signed certificate, then I get to decide who to trust, not Verisign.
You need to read up on what the ssl certs are for. They are not for trust, they are for verification. Any dork can create an ssl cert and say he's John "Maddog" Hall, but to get a VERIFIED certificate from a issuing agency saying you're indeed John "Maddog" Hall requires a LOT of verification of identity.
If you choose to trust an un-verified cert, then you are right back in the same boat as TFA is talking about.
But there's a twist: it gets stronger every time you shoot at it, bomb it or do anything violent towards it. Why are you still shooting at it? Yes.. In the Sci-Fi movies, when the hero stops shooting at it, it withers and dies. I think the problem with terrorists is that when you stop shooting at them, turn your back and announce that you are not afraid of them, they take that opportunity to stab you in the back.
Well, there are a lot of "programmers" that I work with that don't actually have degrees in computer science. Heck, some of them don't have degrees at all and certainly haven't attended "Intro to Programming". I forwarded the article around to several folks here as a "hint, hint".
See! Linux HAS arrived at the desktop! Now that the day when ignorant throngs of people can sit down at their computer and have no idea how it actually works inside, Ubuntu has attained the greatness of Windows!
I think your timeline is off... Tron came out in 82 (same year as Star Trek II, which also featured some CGI). The Last Starfighter was in 84 and the The Abyss was only 7 years after Tron. There was obviously a lot of advances in CGI between Tron and The Abyss. It was only 11 years between Tron and Jurassic Park.
Maybe they should have taxed it like any other product. If it were sales tax on the amount of the sale rather than on the amount of the product dispensed, as gas prices went up the amount of tax would go up as well. In 1997 (last time gas taxes where changed) the tax was 18.4 cents per gallon and was about 15% of the price of gas. Now it's only about 6%. Of course, had they done that, gas prices would be about $3.50 in May instead of $3.20.

Other than killing a pretty cool product line, you mean?

The Mansons were a family too... They don't have many commercials, though.

Wow... If I had mod points, I'd mod you way way up on the Insightful scale
Somebody mod him up...

1.8 million dollars in damages for a 18 dollar CD? Methinks the lawyers calculators have too many places on the left side of the decimal place.

Not sure if that was an attempt to be funny or just being lazy and not searching Google, but here: Computer Generated Imagery.

You're wrong. Pushing the linux desktop gets 'basic shit' like this fixed. More eyeballs on the screen, more problems found, more problems fixed.
Who modded parent funny? I'd say that was insightful, for sure.
