The Houseowners Association of America today announced today their support for a bill that would make it punishable to share your rented home with non-family members.
"This will put a stop to the losses incurred to property owners by people crowding their homes with strangers", a spokesman for the HAA said.
It is widely believed the bill will also boost the property market, thus allowing the mortgage financial markets to recover.
By "recently" you mean "in the previous century"?
He's been arguing this since his book "The Emperor's New Mind" in 1989.
Maybe he has some new ideas, but your summary doesn't tell..
Not having unbalanced units, especially early in the game, is not simply an "eSports" thing, it is a multiplayer thing.
If you are building up a decent base, and then suddenly get a drop of unbalanced unit of type X early on, which wipes out your production, and then the opponent repeats this until you are dead, you will not have fun in multiplayer and will stop playing it at all.
Clearly that isn't good for a game that is known for its multiplayer although the campaign is good too.
Magic Carpet is, or was, a good example for a game that really was unique and would neither fit the FPS tag or the flight simulator tag or strategy tag.
Your idea's good points are: [x]It would be easier to prevent dissipation of radioactive gases. [x]Terrorists would have a harder time hitting a reactor.
Your idea's bad points are: [x]It would cost extra money to prepare the building site. [x]It would cost extra money to build the reactor. [x]It would be harder to access the reactor if an earthquake damaged the site. [x]It does not prevent leakage of radioactive materials to the ground water. [x]It does not fully prevent the risk of an explosion and fracture of containment vessels. [x]Depending on the site, there might be an increased risk of flooding with water or mud. [x]While it would be easy to add a lid of concrete, building the box below the lid would have to happen in advance and would cost extra money.
You don't need to use the impulse client, if you spend the time on some extra hacking. Sadly, I didn't feel like spending the time again to get the newest update of Sins of a Solar Empire work the windows 2000 box(no impulse).
Why should a perfectly sincere and polite post end up with -1, just because it is against the opinion of the moderator?
If that is what moderating is for, then maybe there should be a -1 "disagree" option, and the easy to abuse "Underrated"/"Overrated" should be gone. I say easy to abuse because there is a small risk for negative metamoderation for these.
Why not have a multidimensional rating system, maybe using left wing and right wing or INTP as in the psychological scale?
Then I could change my preferences to only show me the posts that agreee with my opinion;-)
The guy in the forum said that among the nuclear plants in the world only one newer nuclear plant in China has a core catcher, and maybe about 4 plants more in the world.
Many plants have been built before Chernobyl, and the Fukushima plants are amond the oldest in Japan.
It also appears it would be hard to build one now, since the plant is built on granite, supposedly.
The containment might crack, because the pressure inside is high and the hydrogen explosions might have damaged the structure. Also there are no special containment structures below the core a.k.a. core catcher, just the containment itself.
The only safe thing about the plants is that this is happening elsewhere, in Japan.
I would point you to a source, like the current TEPCO press release, but it fails to tell of the "smaller" explosions, which obviously did happen considering the damage to the outer structures of 1,3 and 4.
My guess is the Japanese government simply forgot to update the INSI rating of the accident for some days, and now they are increasing it slowly.
Other nations have rated the incident on Level 6 already.
Considering that the INES scale describes 6 as "Significant release of radioactive material likely to require implementation of planned countermeasures." and that the Japanese countermeasure are not exactly planned, this is already more of a level 7 emergency: "Major release of radioactive material with widespread health and environmental effects requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures".
If anything goes even more wrong - I have some hope left that this will not be the case though - they will have to make up a new level 8 on the INES scale for "multiple catastrophic failure of nuclear plants with continuous release of nuclear material".
No idea btw. why my posts show up with extra à characters in between, I guess slashdot must be hosted in Tokyo...
I tried to use Ecosia for some time, which is powered by Bing, but I have since given up because it doesn't return technical 1 in a million results, and I ususally try to fix really weird technical bugs that are not what "Joe" searches for by using the search engines. I guess their practice of optimizing for the most frequent google searches explains that feature.
I turned off javascript because design v2.? didn't really work with NoScript. Now I'm getting offered to switch back to classic. It is probably also in the settings somewhere. Haven't decided to switch back yet, the new design looks nice.
My personal wild guess is that a large number of the subproblems of an NP question will turn out to be solvable in polynomial time, but a core of "prime problems" will remain which require non-polynomial time. I have this idea since I know of the queens problem - there are a lot of easy solutions for certain sizes of the board.
Your uncontested right to fork is irrelevant to the question of whether they have commited a GPL violation.
I have written code to which no one else contributed yet and released it under the GPL and I would be really pissed if people told me that I was commiting a GPL violation when I released again under any license that I pleased to.
Of course, things would be different if I had followed the FSFs suggestion to assign rights to my software to the FSF, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
I did a trademark search for PAC-MAN at http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe and I'm unable to find a non-word mark match. Does that mean I'm incompetent in searching or does the "namco bandai"-company really only have word marks?
The funny thing is, if Palin should ever become a president or not, vice or no vice, I'll definitely look into learning to pray. I guess Palin would approve..
Strange that a judge has to decide the merits of a case based on the length of their queue.
I guess it would make sense to dismiss the case for lack of enough public interest, but to set a precedent?
In my opinion, reposting is violating the rights of the copyright owner to pull the story(or other content, programs come to mind) from their website, for example to charge money for it.
I think reposting without a financial interest might still constitute fair use, as long as either the copyright owner is still publishing the information for free, or as long as you comply with requests from the copyright owner to remove the content from your site. But I guess that's too much of a commonsense position for a court.

I wonder, does the Boulder, CO law also apply to your yearly house party, or only to residents per house?

Is the practice of recruiting silly young people into the military any better?
When they die, they lose their life expectation of maybe 70 years, while older people would lose a bit less.

Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/phaosrpg/ and check the images/monster folder. The griffons were made/improved with GIMP some years ago.

d/m/Y would just confuse me more, since I connect the slash with the english date format.
So I think that d.m.Y is better, or Y-m-d (again notice the different separator). The latter makes files sort correctly by date if you sort by name.

It appears to me the rating system is broken.

The latest news from the Japanese government regarding the workers is that Tepco must not give up the 6 reactors even if they wished to.

I find the new favicon irritating, because the corners are white not transparent.
I use firefox with an infographics of the solar system as the personas settings, and the white corners show on black background.
Good that you point out that the /. article is misleading.
But you are wrong in naming defensive measures that enhance login security "tarpits".
If I recall right "tarpits" work by tying up resources at the attacking computer.
