Imagine someone uses a bullet that goes through this thing, some of this liquid will penetrate the body alongside with the bullet. Can someone tell if this counpound is poisonous?
There is nothing new here. When I was 14 to 16, I spent a god half of my pocket money on adult magazines. Guess what, one of my friends had a 18y old brother who was doing the shopping in exchange of a copy of every new video gamme we could find. Although it was suspicious, what could the shopkeepers do?
Many exhausts of explosive or dangerous chemicals can also be generated by normal activities of janitors, construction workers, farmers, or anyone smoking. I wish them good luck spending millions investigating all those false positives.
The thing is that I remember having read someplace that, from their apparent distance, the quasars seem to have disapear suddently, so maybe there were condition for them to exist before that date that disapeared (maybe not a constant, but at least something identical anywhere at a given time, such as background temperature or universe density). Anyway, I don't think I could realy help, IANAP, just a driver coder.
The youngest observed quasar are billions of years old, so why can't an universal constant have changed since the beginning of the universe up to the point it would have changed the quasars and MECOs into galaxies and black holes?
We are currently heading to Wimax instead to cover rural areas (DSL is considered economically unfeasible for more than 10% of french population, and unfortunately, this population is mostly composed of upper middle class, so is not really computer illiterate.
IUt's even worse, the offer of most FT competitors in france is 2999 for up to 18Mb/s (not guaranteed), 4 to 8Mb only in many medium size cities plus TV (of course, some channels requiring an additional subscription) and unlimited national and international phone calls (calls mobiles phones are still billed however). The cost includes the lending of the modem. Initial cost is usally free but unsubscribtion may be painful/expensive. And you don't have to pay FT the 15 (soon 16) of landline subscription anymore. Not perfect, but rather fine.
And of course, what drives price low and speed high is that, in major cities or Paris subburb, you can chose your ISP among at least half a dozen major compagnies (oth, there is no local ISP in France, just small ISP working of other compagnies infrastructures).
Exact, for instance, the rabbit has no binocular vision but has a vision range that covers every direction (including upward) except exactly behind itself so it can have the best chances of seeing any kind of predator.
On the other hand, they had quite few competition and due to the difficulties to travel more than a dozen km and do some real work in the same day, I think it was normal to have a couple of educated people in each place doing various jobs as needed. Moreover, technical and scientific knowledge was simplier at that time and it is no longer possible to excel in several unrelated fields as Da Vici did.
Today, being able to do different jobs is needed but it is a tradeof. I don't think it would really help my carrier to give up my field of competence to start over in something completely different (such as management) where there already are many younger people that received the appropriate training.
I can't help thinking it may be linked to this massive effort in fighting terrorism. How can you put so many policemen on that and still have enough in the street really protecting the people?
CPU power is available and cheap but time to market is critical. Most of the time, you don't need to do the fastest program ever, but to do a program that works reasonably well and that you can debug easily (some may say it is the same requirement).
C may not be the best tool for any given task but it is a pretty decent swiss army knife that most people know how to use reasonably well.
Disclaimer: I'm not in web devmnt but in embedded real time on DSP. With 8 dedicated ALU (2 mul, 2 add/sub, 2 logic and 2 load/store) running at the same time on the chip, there is still not many good alternatives to C (let the compiler optim and pray) and ASM (massive headhache).
SSL is good news for you when you try to connect to your bank, but very bad ones when you don't know your machine has been changed into a server by a trojan. I believe their target were the incoming SSL connexions.
I worked twice for GE as a contractor and I can tell you having a 'A' there has nothing to do with talent, but more with 'visibility', in other word, powerpoint and buzzwords.
OS X may be better by design, it still can do nothing against some kind of threats. If someone is stupid enough to click on anything he receive from IM and has the right to install programs, he is screwed whatever its OS. Currently, this hadn't infected Mac too much simply because hackers did associate them with "bunch of lusers".
With 450+ days of rain each year up there, a shuttle could never do that. If you add the latitude consideration and the possibility to organize flights for tourists, Spain or Moroco would seem a better idea.
There is a big difference, one of those industry requires gifted and hard-working performers, the other one just relies on waste recycling and sueing its consumers as the main PR plan.
I also once read a paper explaining how the US is the only country in the world that matches ALL the conditions to be considered an "axe of evil" country as GWB described them (I don't remember all, but that included disrespect of key international treaties and basic human rights, WMD, illegal invasion and questionable elections).
As an european, I have the perception that the US administration tries hard to be hated by everyone, including its own population so that another 911 (which, btw, corresponded to "only" one week of average death toll for NY) will occur and allow them to cancel the next elections and invade .
I have nothing against those who took the risk to be killed or injured for their country, most of them are fine people. The thing is that you wrote "serve and defend your country" which is the correct purpose of the army. Now, if the army or an agency is used to increase the power of a few milionaires by harming the population, is this still someting worth dying for? (hint: in "we the people", they were not ony considering the persons in the room).
Your last sentence is funny, you tell people they are coward if they don't fight for their government but say they have no right to fight back if their government is attacking them in the first place. And yes, the founding fathers had the foresight to predict that any government will be tempted to overuse its power, the fact that it is easier now is not an excuse for allowing it.
Several of the 911 guys were under surveilance by some FBI agents, and it didn't stop them either, apparently because their bosses had other priorities (like spying on population?).
To fight terrorist cells, you need deep invetigation based on quality intelligence gathering, including infiltration. It is hard, dangerous, expensive and has no guaranty of sucess. Random surveilance is just a waste of resource in such situation: you are looking for people that are a few dozen people hidden among hundreds of millions and that are more paranoid that any tree letter agency. I bet that if they could have recorded all the calls (there were probably very few) made by the 911 guys and tests them against their systems, they would have not triggered anything.

if cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?

I'd rather bet on the big telcos rather than the UN, so I fear net neutrality will not be an issue very longer, just a memory.
That is still a lot of money.

You mean, beside not being hated by 80% of the planet?
Read 29Euro99 and 15Euro.
I should have previewed this one...

"F-15 pilots have pretty good eyesight, and can typically spot a missile or aircraft at ranges in excess of 400 km, much further than other humans"
In other news, balsitic missile operators evolved to see their russian targets through the earth.
Come on... 400km is radar range, if you are a combat pilot and first notice the ennemy/missile at sight range, you're doomed.

Point 2 is probably right, at least in the 80's, when the NATO delivered them to our friend Saddam.
