I don't understand why textbook publishers would look to Texas as being the standard vs. going to california. How does area of a state have anything to do with how many text books they're going to purchase? Especially when california has almost 50% more people than Texas? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population
In my opinion, it comes down to the fact that something is happening during these experiments, we just don't know what. There have been anomalous neutrons detected many times by many different researchers using this basic setup, in this case they even appear to be high energy.
I agree completely with this. I think that they really should pursue research into what is going on here. It might be something useful. But what they need to do is stop labeling it as cold fusion until they actually know what is going on. As soon as people see that nowadays, it seems as if they just completely disregard the research as nonsense, regardless of how good it is.
If the article would have been properly summarize the article, you would know. Here's the entire paragraph...
The famed "numbered accounts" that do not bear the owner's name will still be available for clients willing to pay for added anonymity. But the government will now be able to demand account holders' identities in cases of suspected wrongdoing and share that information with foreign authorities.
No, its more like having a locked door that only required you to jiggle the lock to open it. The door was closed and locked but easy to open. Its still breaking and entering.
LOL... I love how the people of slashdot decided to moderate this as Informative instead of Funny. Next time someone tells me the fucking printer is broken, I'm blaming it on you eln.
thats ludicrous. next thing you know, people are going to start requiring microsoft to not bundle internet explorer with their operating system.... oh... wait.
No. This would be like a rape victim indescriminately mass murdering hundreds of thousands of men
come on now. you're comparing apples to oranges. its more like the rape victim going off and mass raping hundred's of thousands of men. i just hope the rape victim is megan fox and i'm first in line.
maybe you should STFU. Wait till one of those bombs detonate in your country and wipe out your family. we'll see how amicable you want to be thetn. hell, even the terrorists resort to retaliation. They just don't have the necessary fire power to inflict serious damage. Stop blabbering like a foreign idiot that thinks he knows anything about world affairs and how to resolve them.
I don't see what the big deal is. So what if IE is there? You're not using it, it doesn't use up your system resources. You already have some other browser installed. Hell, you can even delete the internet explorer icon. What is so problematic about having the IE binaries there?
because if you've ever run a data center, the last thing you want to do is go down to the data center every other week because your refurbished pc's have cpu fans that are crapping out. when you run a business, you don't cheap out on hardware to save you a few hundred now when it might cost you a few hours later down the road because i'd imaagine that you and your employees are worth much more than saving a couple hundred bucks on some crappy servers. besides, getting a rack at a colo is expensive too.
Amazon's servers allow you to scale vertically and horizontally. They have images that are preconfigured to do load balancing and they have LAMP setups. Plus the fact that its a completely virtualized system means you never have to worry about hardware failures. with only 1k uniques per day, they have more than enough to accommodate for what you need
as for ease of use, i've never done windows load balancing, but the linux load balancing isn't terribly difficult to get working. to optimize it is quite a bit more difficult though. but with anything linux, its all terminal so its almost never as convenient as point and click. however, its almost always more flexible than point and click.
one other thing that you need to think about that goes hand in hand with HA systems is monitoring. with or without amazon, you need to always account for software failures too. apache might hang, the database might be overloaded, etc. you'll need something like nagios, cacti, etc. so don't forget to account for that in your hardware costs
saying that the supernova occurred "simultaneous" to events in 5446 BC on Earth is the truly ridiculous claim on a cosmic scale.
so if it didn't occur during 5446 BC on Earth, then when did it happen?
seems like you are suggesting the date when an observer viewed the event is the correct date to record. based your other point that the birth date is wrong because of "another equally valid observor", i'm going to assume you mean someone not on earth (continuously traveling at an extremely high speed on earth isn't possible yet nor does it seem to have any point) otherwise we'd all be the "same" observers and you're argument doesn't make sense. so therefore, doesn't it follow that the date we view the event is effectively useless because there are various potential observers all viewing it at different dates. which one do you want to record? seems to me like specifying the date the event occurred is much more standard than the date an observer viewed the event.
of course explaining it is unnecessary. but proper verbiage would have been better. saying that they they witnessed the birth of the nebula in 1054 is much more correct than saying that the nebula was born in 1054.
It doesn't have bearing on the story. And your date is too precise.
I beg to differ. Although I agree with you that it isn't important to get across the subject at hand, it is still very important. If this was something posted up on Yahoo!'s front page, then fine, I can understand. The layman doesn't care about these details.
However, this is being posted on an astro physics website. It may be overly detailed but if you're going to be detailed, you need to be correct. This is especially so when your audience is a bunch of scholars, scientists, and enthusiasts that are in the know and recognize glaring mistakes like this.
when I read that sentence, the first thing that came to my mind too was "wait, what?!"
Definition 2 clearly states "Implied by or inferred from actions or statements". The action in this case is appointing the blogger the head of investigation
so the reality of the situation is, it might make people look dumb when you incorrectly use a word, but you're making people dumber by getting modded up for incorrectly using a word.
What about RollerBlade? AquaLung? I'm sure there are many more if you search hard enough. Those are two generic words combined to be unique and trademarked name. Netbook was a valid trademark name too. Whether it is today is a whole different story.
obviously, neither are you. i am replying to your statement...
(who would then be under the gun to prove total noninvolvement).
it is the plaintiff's burden to first prove that TPB is associated with the attacks. After which, TPB then needs to prove that they aren't. If the plaintiff tries to bring that up in this case, the defense can simply object to it as the claim has been unsubstantiated.
additionally, they would need to file a complaint in a separate case to prove this.

The indispensable jamie found a report out of Kentucky of exactly the kind of shenanigans that voting-transparency advocates have been warning about
or what about these kinds of shenanigans!
maybe we should get bush to invade these companies building these patents of mass destruction

the BBC did not wilfully cause damage or fiscal loss
I'd bet gmail and hotmail would beg to differ with that one. It might not be much, but it definitely cost them to receive the spam that they sent.

you just ruined this article for me. i don't even want to rtfa anymore =(

How rude of the french to attempt to steal the title of worst drivers from my fellow chinese.
No, but you would not expect them to incorrectly refer to addition as substraction

This is bullshit if anyone is not a lawyer it is you.
thank you, my point exactly
now IANAL but i know how it work's, i seen them on TV
LOL

so are you actually a lawyer?
