So far all the elements produced near the island of stability are isotopes with a fewer neutrons than would be needed for them to have long lifetimes. It is still too early to know how long these super heavy elements will last. Yet, there have been several produced in the 112+ range with half-lifes on the order of minutes.
People have predicted some of their properties. Since these super heavy elements are difficult to produce, and the isotopes produced are generally short lived, the only thing that can really be observed is the elements half-life.
The models that exist for the currently known elements seem to work pretty well, but they also predict the island of stability mentioned in the summary. Basically a region of very heavy and very stable elements. So, if these elements are discovered and actually are very stable, then it tells us that the current nuclear models aren't too bad.
Also, and this I'm not positive about, the reason the properties are likely different than the common elements is because these superheavy elements are very neutron rich and very heavy. And I think the most stable ones are supposed to be deformed as well.
Almost all the checks I cash are rebates, which USAA's applet can't handle, so I have to mail everything in anyway. But I did manage to get it working with linux. All I had to do was change my useragent string (useragent plug-in) to firefox on a mac and it will just prompt you to upload the jpeg image of your check.
They may not be allowed to charge more for credit cards, but they can give 'discounts' for every other form of payment. I also live in texas and have found some large stores that do this.
Yeah, it is against the bluehost terms of service to use it as a backup server. I switched to dreamhost, they give you a large amount of storage space dedicated specifically to backup, in addition to whatever you use for your website.
The troops coming out today don't have that option, they have the Montgomery GI Bill [va.gov] which requires veterans to put aside money for college during their active duty and Big Unc coughs up 8x what the vet puts away for up to 36 months. It's only in the last year or so that they finally voted in something close to the GI Bill I knew when I got out.
I used the old GI Bill to pay for college, and it is a whole lot better than you are letting on. Yes, I did have to pay into it, but only a measley 1200 dollars. After getting out my monthly payment was about the same amount. Also, a traditional 4 year bachelors only requires 36 months of actual class time. The GI Bill won't pay for summer or time you aren't attending school, and there is no reason they should.
I remember using hot keys in the past to "fill down" in open office. I just checked and, sure enough, by default open office 3.0 (in ubuntu) uses ctrl-d to fill down in a spreadsheet. Maybe it's time for you to try again.
I doubt that is an actual army policy. From my experience, even though the majority of the software was proprietary, open source software was allowed and frequently found on the computers.
I looked it up anyway and one part of AR 25-2 says:
Use of "open source" software (for example, Red Hat Linux) is permitted when the source code is available for examination of malicious content
If all you want to do is get the effects of alcohol without tasting the drink then why the hell would you drink beer? Drink liquor or some sort of mixed drink that will get you drunk without the burden of flavor.
I would bet most people, although certainly not all, drink beer because they do like the way it tastes. And, amazingly enough, some of us actually like to try a variety of beers because we don't want to taste the same one every time.
Maybe he lived a long time, but he was also crazy. He was well known for being a germophobe and having an obsession with the number three. So, although I don't think the magnetic fields caused him to go crazy, I certainly don't think tesla should be held up as an example of someone who was around powerful magnetic fields all his life but was completely healthy and normal.
You think the motorcyclists thinks they own the road because he was happily driving in his own lane? You're the idiot who needs to learn to check his damn blind spot. Remember, if you nearly get into an accident because you change lanes, it isn't the other persons fault for not getting out of your way.
It isn't quite that simple. If you dispute a charge, then the merchant can still challenge it. The burden of proof, however, is on the merchant and they must show evidence of the sale. Something as simple as a signed credit slip will work. And, assuming they have that, then the credit card company will have to pay the merchant and will expect you to repay them.
Now, if for whatever reason, the credit card company does not pay the merchant then the merchant is still free to try to collect the debt through other means.
I've never really had any problems with the Adobe PDF viewer in linux. I don't usually use it, but it always works fine when, for whatever reason, Evince or KPDF doesn't render the document correctly. Also, PDF is an open standard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format.
I hope your joking and I'm just missing the humor. These are not computer simulations any more than a radar map is a computer simulation of the earth. In both cases you get very accurate depth measurements of the surface of a material. So a computer is being used to draw the image, but it's drawing exactly what the object actually looks like.
Systems like this already exist. Take a look at http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=plausible-deniability. It will allow you to place a second encrypted volume inside a primary one. Then, if necessary, you can turn over the primary password and everything in the second volume is still hidden. Whats more, it is impossible to tell a second encrypted volume even exists.
Yes, nature will most likely always be too complex to predict, but that is because its a massive chaotic system. I would guess there will always be too many unforseen initial conditions that would blow up and lead to very different, and unpredictable, results.
In any case, it has nothing to do with the heisenberg principle. It doesn't apply to macroscopic systems, and I think a hurricane definitely qualify as large.
Sounds like a strong argument for everybody keeping their money at home under the mattress instead of a bank. Right, because institutions such as banks never fail, http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/29/0627217. The FDIC was created to guarantee that people wouldn't lose their savings in the event of the banks colapse, which is the only reason I think a lot of people still don't keep their savings stuffed in a matress.
Anyway, its never a good idea to have so much faith in a company that you trust all your data to them. If you are not keeping backups yourself, however reliable google may be, then you have still have a single point of failure for the loss of all your email.
While everything you said about American companies was completely true, the criticism is out of place. The company, the event, and the story are all based in the UK.
Sometimes we sell gas below cost, sometimes above cost.
I thought most states had passed antitrust laws that would prevent gas stations from selling fuel below cost. They did this to prevent the larger chains from driving the small independent gas stations out of business.
If you're in the military, you can buy and consume alcohol, but only at a military base. Try again. Actually you can't, at least not in the United States. If a solider is caught drinking underage, or providing alcohol to minors, they would still face charges from the police and mostly likely demoted as well. However, if they are stationed outside of the US, and that country has a drinking age lower than 21, then they could drink.
If only it were that easy. For financial aid you can only claim to be independent if you meet one of the following:
You were born before January 1, 1983.
You're married.
You're enrolled in a master's or doctorate program during the school year.
You have children or other dependents who receive more than half their support from you.
You're an orphan or ward of the court (or were a ward of the court until age 18).
You're a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. "Veteran" includes a student who attended a U.S. military academy who was released under a condition other than dishonorable.

Just explore the top of the chart at nndc to see.

Try each new version of Calc, no easy "fill down"

So your saying only the scavaging meat eaters would have survived? I think that might have left a significant gap in the food chain.
This girl I know has accused me of stalking her again and again.
For not stalking this girl you sure do seem to keep bumping into her a lot.
:p

Since your reading a dvorak article, its obviously not too effective :P
