NX5 / solidworks is superior to autocad in basically a billion ways.
Autocad is nice for 2d sketches, and has 3d capability, but is behind the above two in a billion gazillion ways. If you could replicate even 1/10th of the features of NX5 with the powerful history editor you probably can get in on the ground level. It is the nicest thing to be able to swap in entirely different ideas on the same part during prototyping and FEA/CFD.
he doesnt have to, instead the procsecution (in a case of libel/slander) must prove MALICIOUS INTENT (in the USA only, laws may be different where you live, get a lawyer, not legal advice)
free speech is most notably curtailed with 'fire' in a crowded building and libel laws. Libel laws exist to prevent people from spreading falsehoods which undermine a persons reputation and standing. If he was satarizing (then he's a bad humourist), or ignorantly shouting without understanding the implications(in which case he is dumb and wasn't actually trying to do anything beyond get attention) , or telling the truth(100% win rate here).
basically the state in this case is in a tough position to convict or get court orders for anything.
digital works would be 'personal effects'
the gov needs to go through courts and have reasonable cause, to establish the reasonable cause they need to prove liable is occuring maliciously. to preemptively destroy its anonomousness (sp i know) is a violation of the rights given to the governemtn in the CotUSA.
only after these things have been proven can a court legally even order a private company (a free man imbodied in a soulless group abstraction) to give up anything. Google should refuse on constitutional grounds. The eff should also handily win the case if no libel is occuring.
The worse problem here is if the second party, google should give away the mans identity, google has a responsibility to obey court orders, leaving it in a difficult place should more pressure fall on google to cave.
volts can be consumed because they are the potential energy in a circuit. A high voltage is always in reference to 'something' typically the ground (wherever that is). Therefore if you have +15 V at node A, and node A connects to node B through a resistor, the voltage at B will become less than A by moving through the resistor (as energy is converted to heat over time; power output) if all the potential energy (if it's not used it's potential) exists up until the point at which it passes through the resistor (assuming perfect conduction + no external noise).
Voltage is equivalent to velocity in other systems. Flowrate is equivalent to current. This is why we can use electronics to model various neat physical phenominea, because we can make the systems equivalent!
while it may be a simplification, it is a useful one for the purposes of losing weight. Nothing beats measuring calories. If you want to weight your calories as well with nutrition feel free to write the linear program optimitization which can asses the differences, it is non trivial and may be without optimal solution for all* However for most fattys trying to lose weight they have no need for fat solubable vitamins during the entire weight loss, the fat burned will provide all they need. No body eats only carb calories or fruit calories, everything in moderation including moderation.
*Linear programming takes the form of maximize or minimize some objective function subject to constraints in in multiple dimensions. *In this case maximize nutrition or minimize the difference from ideal nutrition, subject to caloric intake ideal, Vit a , b , c, d, e , f, g, h , i etc. and all other micro and macro nutrients. *The matrix would be VERY large, and VERY sparse. +this is an outreach of operational theory and is well developed *If a computer with optimized algorithims cannot find the optimum, humans cannot either!
it does, 5 grams of 9cal/gram fat is hmm 45 calories, 11.25 grams of 4cal/gram is hmm 45 calories.
count calories and watch yourself lose weight.
the point is your car/body needs the same energy to go regardless of how you get. Nobody has that big a difficulty metabolising foods. you are not a precious snowflake.
man you are taking this way out of wack, we already experiment on babies all the time.
giving folate to mothers and having a control group is science and an exeriment. finding out if alcohol is implicite in miscarrage, same thing. these are experiments, not vivisection certainly, but still experiments.
point is get a bunch of parents to show their kid a green ball or something and ask them 1, 3, 5, 10 years later if they remember. Have a control group where you dont show the ball and ask the questions. if you want to pinpoint memory formation, you need studies to say when babies can begin forming memories (long term symbolic memory, not muscle memory for walking running throwing). heck you could use talking. just check the average age at which a baby talks.
so in conclusion not difficult and not nazi'ish in any way.
abortion, heck it's not even morally wierd, animals do it all the time and humans are animals with bigger brains(haha). People is asia dump girl babies in dumpsters because males are 'worth' more. I've gotta find the study that showed most cases of baby death(like 3/4 of SIDS cases) are in fact infantcide (intentional or through negligance) by the mother because she feels she cannot care for the baby.
so ask yourself is the investment of birthing a baby at the cost of the mother worth it? if abortion is murder what is the penalty? draw the line at one cell and everything is pretty f'ed up.
What is your earliest memory? Because to you, YOU do not even exist before that point. Use the earliest verifiable memory as a starting point for abortion.
(That or when the cell clump/fetus/baby is capable of independent breathing and feeding with an operational brain)
Look bud, they were taking 'babies' destined for the dumpster and using stem cells from them.
I dunno but garbage juice on my baby is not what i would consider 'viable'.
Few in the biz were actually going around porking women and then telling them 'we need your unborn child to save Michael J Fox'. It was mothers who already decided to not carry to term.
These people are the EXCEPTION not the rule. People love being special and thinking they have super powers. Surprise, you don't.
Ein-Eout=Eaccumulate
Eat less, work more. Figure out how well YOU digest calories by taking account of your mass and figuring out how much Ein you need to maintain a stable weight with as little exercise as possible for 2 weeks or so. Then you can exercise and increase food inputs as well with no deleterious effects on the body!!! (Ensure you drink lots of water, because overall the differences in weight will be small compared to water mass fluctuations, more water also means you body functions properly, drink enough so you pee 5-6 times a day, like 3L of water or 2 if you like veggies.)
uhhh.... putting heating oil, (diesel) into your engine would give it better mileage than gas, it is roughly 17% more energy dense, 40MJ/kg vs 33MJ/kg for gasoline.
really puts it into perspective:)
(This post also assumes you have a magical vehicle which can use both diesel and gasoline!)
This can be derived from some basic math, if you require 1 MJ per mile to drive your car increasing the density of energy in the fuel means more energy per mass and obviously increased MILEAGE!!!
(This post also neglects the fact that desiel engines are more efficient because of fewer moving parts!)
You sir are patently retarded.
Energy is the fundimental unit of the economy. If you choose to ignore this you are ignorant and will likely make poor decisions.
You should know that the only reason we are currently using oil is because at the turn of the century the EROEI for oil was 100:1, for every 1 unit of energy invested, you could retrieve 100, for a net gain of 99.(this doesnt violate the laws of thermodynamics because we are extracting dead plants from major exinction events) Current EROEI is between 5 and 20 depending on the grade of the oil (lower for sour oils, higher for sweet oil). Wind energy yields between 15-20, but problems with intermittance are believed to prevent wind from becoming more than 25% of a countries energy supply. (look to denmark for the solution, they are probably going to pass the 20% mark this year)
The base cost of an item CANNOT BE LESS than the sum of the costs of the labour and materials used to make it, along with the inefficiencies of the market to bring it to your door. If ethanol is produced with 1 barrel of oil, you get an equivalent 1.3 barrels back, but this product is not as useful as crude oil. How will you make plastics? Fertilizer? Fuel is ok, however ethanol only has 3/4 the energy per volume of gasoline, meaning you must carry more of it, reducing fuel economy. Figure out how many MPG you get per gallon of ethanol, and then muldiply the 1$/gallon subsidy you already pay from taxes by the number of gallons you would need to fill up equivalently. I bet it sucks for you Mr ethanol lover.
the government has externalized some costs. you need to see what is going on by analyzing all true costs.
Why do all of you seem to have a distinct ISO hatred?
From engineering I have learned that ISO standards are completely voluntary. They provide a means for Company A to say, "I need 1,000,000 bolts adhering to ISO XXXXXX". They can then find companies which adhere to these standards and purchase based on best price. If a company wants to be ISO certified for a process they must pay for an inspector to come and check out the process (quality, ensuring, stuff is done properly, etc). I have heard other people bitch about how much it costs to do this, however, it is not your company being forced into the standardization, rather YOUR CUSTOMER is demanding a specified level of quality. These people who are complaining are really voicing a view that they would prefer to deliver a LOWER QUALITY good to a customer for the price of the higher quality good and leave the customer none the wiser. This is a bad business decision.
The example I give above is for screw production, however treat software as a commodity. Then software which read and write files which adhere to the standard are best. Software packages can be built to support these standards and greater emergent networks can be formed (I give the internet and it's effect on business. I hope we can all agree on/. that the internet has been a powerful force in business) .
To further my example, look into the history of screws or fasteners, there were many competing designs, and the 2-3 best remain today enshrined in some ISO standard along with all their derivative designs.
With the introduction of this ISO standard, business can more easily data mine, update, import/export, modify, and track changes. If any of you who read/. are CIO's or CTO's (information and technical officers) or people who have the ability to advocate ISO standardization for file types, do it. It can only benefit the mobility of your company. One can choose to make switches in direction rather quickly when all the data you store is in a known format. You could hire some coders to do internal tasks for you. There are NO disadvantages to ISO standardization for the customer. One can choose to purchase drop-in-solutions.
Simple questions like "We have ODT files and require support according to ISO XXXXX, can you provide this with your product." replace long drawn out negotiations about who owns what file format or whatever.
In conclusion ISO is important for customers.
If I am misinformed on any of these topics, please respond.
Ahem. Proteins can replicate. I refer you to my friend Prion. Better known as CJD, scabies, or Kuru. I understand you refer to self propagating, however it still brings up an interesting idea, if humans continue to use purified proteins (enzymes) to do a great deal of processing, perhaps some sort of prion for this enzyme will be found.
As an aside,
Could the hypothetical prion for this hypothetical hydrogen splitting protein infect a person, and cause illness? It is indeed a scary thought.
The supercavitation bubble negates the need for torpedoes that can steer.
Ships move slower than traditional torpedoes, however the relative difference is not huge, so a ship can attempt to evade the torpedo.
These new torpedoes travel so fast, that any amount of evasion is useless! IIRC the new torps are travelling at 200 knots, like 400 km/hr or something. This is a huge difference compared to older slow torpedoes travelling at 50 knots.
These very fast torpedoes would be used to sink the larger fleet carriers from submarines. Get under or anywhere near the carrier, shoot 3 at the carrier and go on a silent run to creep away.

The reason pump and dump scams do not work is because the initiators of the scam will have bought early at the low price, THIS IS RECORDED by stockbrokers, and REFLECTS NEW DEMAND for a stock. Then then send out these emails hoping to increase demand, and thus the price. Now, someone with some brains Understands That These Stocks are PUMP AND DUMP. Then then get short options on the stock.
surprise! the stock goes up for a while and crashes.
remember kids, the stock market transmits all known information near instantaneously through price. the price change is immediate, because participing in the stock market causes these changes.
the SEC can also easily learn who is pumping and dumping by analyzing buying patterns.

What was the kid arrested for?
I see no mention of a criminal trespass arrest....
there is only the mention of resisting arrest.
In court it is pretty impossible to win (for the police) if the kid is not in the process of being arrested for anything while he resists.
A simple charge of resisting arrest will never cut it, because the kid was NOT ARRESTED FOR ANYTHING ELSE. THERE WAS NO BASIS TO ARREST HIM.
The record will show that I am correct in this matter if the kid gets a compitent lawyer.
