Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is only part of the Standard Model, which is what I assume you mean by "state of the art", the part that describes the strong nuclear force. The other parts are Quantum Electrodynamics and the theory of the weak interaction, which combine as the electroweak interaction.
I'll also drink to that./. was the first online forum I signed up to, and still, ten years later, the only one I read almost every day. I've learnt so much from the articles, comments, arguing over opinions, trolling... I'm not as engaged nowadays, but nowhere else offers anything like this mix of topics and opinions on them while still being worth reading because you'll quite likely learn something.
A standard London double-decker bus has a capacity of 72 people and at peak times will be full on every journey (the busiest routes will have a bus every 3-4 minutes at peak time). You'd only expect 10 people on a bus either well out of peak hours or possibly at the very start/end of a route.
Where does this figure of 10 passengers/bus come from?
What about England? There's no security procedures anywhere on the rail system; you get to the station, go through the ticket barrier if present, get on the train.
Soulseek is quite simply the only way to download music... in 7 years of using it, I can count the number of times I've been unable to find a tune/album on both hands. Plus the interface, while very basic, makes it easy to download a single track or an entire folder off of someone.
The legislature has already decided - it's for the courts to determine in each case whether those conditions apply or not. Which is what's happening here, UK law requires that extradition not occur if torture/the death penalty would be a likely outcome, the court will decide whether this is likely to be the case for Julian Assange, which is basically a) whether Sweden would extradite to the US, and b) whether he would face such a punishment in the US. Your point that they need to consider an infinite regress of extradition hot potato is just silly.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors.. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt.45 and a.38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
That might be the volume you measure inside the black hole, if you accept their rather strange definition of volume and the fact that as you say we don't have a complete enough marriage of QM and GR to really give a good answer for that, but from the outside the volume of the hole is the plain old volume of a sphere with a given radius.
The event horizon is a basically classical phenomenon, and is completely described by its mass, angular momentum and electric charge. It's density is just its mass/volume... you're both getting confused between the properties of the black hole (i.e. event horizon) and what's inside it (classically, a singularity which has zero volume and thus infinite density).
You'd be surprised I think... most spammers will be isolated from the actual company with a product through several layers of marketing sub-contractors, making it next to impossible to pin spamming on the real company itself.
That's true if you ignore the fact that Stalin went to a seminary as a youngster; whether or not he was religious in later life, religion certainly played a large part in his upbringing.
You're talking about the concept of Flow - "an activity [in which you are] fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity".
It assumes that people perform a cost-benefit analysis of their potential actions, and that is something you might say is markedly lacking amongst insane people.
Actually performing a cost-benefit analysis is something that is probably only done by insane people such as sociopaths. Real people don't operate that way on a day-to-day basis - take a look at behavioural economics for research on how people actually make decisions.
I installed Skype about four days ago and after selecting custom install, disabled the install of various browser plugins. Most likely you just selected typical install.
The reason it's a point release is because of crappy applications that check the Windows major version number and then only run for one particular value rather than for anything over a minimum requirement. This was a not inconsiderable source of application problems when Vista was released, and why Windows 7 is version 6.1 and Windows 8 will almost certainly be 6.2.
Unfortunately the lie of the "American Dream" means that most Americans think that they'll one day be one of the "lords", and therefore society should be set up to benefit the rich. Rationality doesn't come into it.
No, that would be Jacob Bekenstein. Hawking and Bekenstein collaborated to precisely fix the ratio of entropy to surface area, but the original idea wasn't Hawking's.
Great summary, I'll be amazed if you get a response from the GP. My issue with your average libertarian here is that they seem to be utterly ignorant of any research outside of 1930s era Austrian economics; particularly behavioural economics and psychology in general. I suspect many of them don't like having to deal with the complexities of the real world, human behaviour and social dynamics - the responses to any story about psychology research are often largely derogatory.
I might steal your post if I ever get into an argument again with a free market zealot; I spent years doing it, you never change their mind, but it's nice to be right even so:)

Give it over, if you want to change your GP, go register at a different doctor's surgery.
Not under this government I'm afraid.

Except for the fact that the assumption of homogeneity may not be true, see the first couple of points here.
