Who says 'delta difference'? 'Difference in speed' or 'delta speed' please.
Yup, that's odd coming from "a manager of Boeing's F22 fighter-jet program". Hmm... did I say manager?;)
This could've been really bad if the truck driver was actually just leaned down to pick up some fritos off the floor.
Yes, the hero would be a meddlingsome do-gooder. This could've been really bad if the truck driver had really stepped on the gas when he passed out (it was only going at 40 mph); the minivan's brakes would've had a hard time fighting inertia plus the truck's (150 cu-in) engine, which calls for more interesting maneuvers. Perhaps pushing it *lightly* against the barrier or nudging it into a traffic light (better than the crossing ahead).

In optical design jargon, an apodization function is used to purposely change the input intensity profile of an optical system, and may be a complicated function to tailor the system to certain properties. Usually it refers to a non-uniform illumination or transmission profile that approaches zero at the edges.
Apodization is used in telescope optics in order to improve the dynamic range of the image. For example, stars with low intensity in the close vicinity of very bright stars can be made visible using this technique, and even images of planets can be obtained when otherwise obscured by the bright atmosphere of the star they orbit. Generally, apodization reduces the resolution of an optical image; however, because it reduces diffraction edge effects, it can actually enhance certain small details.
Mohandas Gandhi continues to employ techniques of Satyagraha against the occupation forces led by Field Marshal Walter Model. While the techniques may have worked well against the British, the Germans respond with violence. Despite Jawaharlal Nehru's urging that Gandhi to change tactics, Gandhi does not comprehend the horrific violence the Nazis were willing to employ, and refuses. He is finally arrested and summarily executed by Model.
The theme of this story is summed up at the end, as Gandhi realizes that his pacifism worked because the British were at least capable of being ethical, although they didn't always act ethically. The Nazis, on the hand, were by definition unethical, and so had to be met with force.

The GPL is the most beneficial license or legal construction In the history of computing.
RealityMaster above may be right - the limited, non-transferable EULA is terribly important right now; the GPL is a sane[r] alternative. Don't ask me about the "freer" BSD license - I haven't made my mind up about that.
+1, Interesting. But the purpose of a bomb threat is to disrupt, to nag them silly. Nutters get cues from everything and amplify them, so it's been too late since a noticeable number first chanted FUCK THE *AA.
On the other hand, the ones calling the shots are surely responsible for the legal harassment and its financial/emotional/misc consequences, so why not give them a taste or two of that?
Nah, I'm good. Hardcore OSS advocates fear a lawsuit against Mono and I'd be happier if that were entirely impossible, but I don't see MS tarnishing their recently improved image because of a project that benefits them. So, given equal capabilities and ease I'm happy:)

It's not clear from the narration how much of it was pre-programmed and I'm too lazy to go read the paper, but either the guy waited for the copter to accelerate and threw the hoop in sync (pretty unlikely), or the copter timed its flight to the extrapolated motion of its "window", which is the amazing feat advertised.
Hell, even if the UPenn guys cheated, they managed to make the little recover and hover after being thrown like a majorette's baton, zigzag like a hummingbird on meth, zip through hoops, do triple somersaults, and perch on a wall like a fly (check it out if you haven't yet). Neat stuff.
It's not about his religion / denomination. It's closer to "no shirt - no service": they're refusing him service for disseminating hate speech, which is against their rules, and there's no protection in any of the CRAs against that.
This guy had the distinct luxury of knowing that he was fighting the good fight to stop Crazy Adolph, even if he didn't know all the horror he was up to. He's also something of an internet hero; these guys went to bloody WAR and now we're able to troll/shock/godwin to our gallbladder's content;)

I tried the first two and kept "It's all Text". Although you can conceivably use Stylish to mod the textarea to your liking.

This is why /. *needs* a "favourite posts" (bookmarks) feature :)
In any case why not just use the fucking stove.
Better yet, use the regular one.

Ain't it wonderful?
The goal of the Sage project is to creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.
And Maxima? One would think they'd name it Mage. *ducks*

Perhaps they mean that the rat --> robot --> rat control loop constitutes a learning system.

Yes, because what kills a snake must kill a human too.
So any more problems?

The toolchain is far from open.
The prospect may have held 50 million barrels (7.9×10^6 m3) producible reserves of oil.
