I note that you have offered no rebuttals of the parent's points save "I know what I am talking about". I'm not sure you do. Would you please expand on how and why you think the parent is wrong?
Note that if by "getting into an academic career" you mean "getting tenure", the I suggest you re-read the parent post carefully.
Actually, since we're on topic now, I have been looking for a good way to get into JavaScript that steers clear of the cargo cult mentality. Do you have any pointers for books, tutorials etc?
Actually, it's a programming thing. The computer science thing is the same as the math thing, the little corner thingy.
Computer science and programming are not quite the same thing.
Frankly, in the big "who's the most evil empire" game, I don't see EA as necessarily worse than Atari (who created huge problems with WotC game IP left and right) and Microsoft (whom we all know and loathe).
No it's not. I really wonder what the deal is with mass and weight that it gets everyone confused like that. Mass is the resistance of a body to accelleration (or gravity, which if you subscribe to the strong equivalence principle is really the same thing). It is measured in kilograms. Weight is the force that gravity exerts on a body, measured in Newton. They are related via the gravitational constant, which is not really constant.
Allright, I must have missed something. How does he get Purple to stand quietly in the corner as he enters the lab? Usually you'd need the writing contract or the meteor police (or green or Ed) to get past him.
Also, guessing the code to the lab is slightly dishonest...
I know I didn't know they even *had* a video site until now.
With this announcement they can appear to be good concerned corporate citizens (after all, pirated content finances terrorism!) and gain exposure in one fell publicity swoop.
It's simple and supported by almost all machines and devices. Worst come to worst you can hunt for your data with with grep and dd.
If you are not constantly editing the information (and you won't be, it's for archival purposes) the admittedly major downsides of not being journalled and being prone to fragmentation are non-issues. You might run into problem with capacity limits and/or file size limits though.
Given the mass ratio between anything we can send up and the average icy space rock, it's more likely the icy asteroid's gravity will capture the craft than the other way around. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you.
There is no time "between" empire and jedi. The films follow without gaps.
I'd really like them to let go of the entire film thing and concentrate on a different period for once though. That was one of the strengths of KOTOR in my opinion: star wars feel without the annoying movie plots getting in the way.
Actually, determining exact exponents is pretty much all dimensional analysis does. In this particular case, the matter is simply one of equivalence. Since there's an equal sign in the middle, the quantities left and right must be the same all the way down to the units. If one is J = Nm = Kg * m/s^2, the other must be the same. It can't be kg * m^e/s^e.
This is not to say a quantity of the form m*c^e can't exist, just that it would not be an energy. It would be something else.
To my knowledge there is nothing fundemental that prevents physical quantities from having a unit that can only be expressed as a non-rational power of one or more base units. In fact I suppose that you could dig up quite a number if for some reason you are interested in physics in fractal spaces or other mathematical constructions where non-rational powers abound.
If you look at the places where non-rational exponents show up in "normal physics" they are mostly scaling relations, where the base number is dimensionless and the exponent does therefore not impact the dimensionality of the result. Transport phenomena are infamous for taking this approach.
Depends on what you mean by "compatible". It will open and contain the same text, more or less? Sure. Will the formatting survive? Absolutely not.
Even between word 2000 and word 2003 there can be significant variation.
If you know any special tricks to get this to work correctly, please share. Otherwise I'm afraid the nonsense is on you.

Eh nope, OpenGL is superior to DirectX performancewise and always will be because it can write directly to GPU.
What does this even mean?

People keep saying it, but not sourcing it. Care to?
We have two, one before and one after the security control :P
Need for speed? Realistic? You were obviously not playing the same game I was.

If you know 5 languages, try the UN.
You might want to do some basic research before proclaiming your ignorance to the whole wide internet like that.

Found it! Apparently it's a glitch related to the cut scene that immediately precedes it.

Even the page you link to acknowledges the terms have been used interchangeably.

One of the first things you learn as a physicist: if the dimensionality of an equation is correct, it's not trivial to prove it's not correct ;)
Too bad that Cray retreated to more conventional designs.
Aside from the little thing about buring in hellfire a few verses later.
But that's how religious texts are supposed to be written i guess.
