I went to the paper, expecting to find a fairly high powered laser that is not a pointer, and expecting to call someone out on calling them pointers. However, they're only 5 mW, which is indeed a pointer. Cool that they can use such low powered lasers for this.
The FDA has regulations in the U.S. saying that no laser products over 5 mW may be marketed as "pointers":
Class IIIb lasers cannot legally be promoted as laser pointers or demonstration laser products.
The summary says 64kb (kilobits), or 64,000 bits. That's 7.8125 KiB (kibibytes), or 8,000 bytes. The competition is actually for 65,536 bytes, or 64 KiB.
It says the universe is precisely 13.75 billion years old, not 13.5 billion years old.
Actually, you're both wrong. What you read is a link to a different, unrelated article that's 2 years and 2 months old. I looked at the articles and papers, and I don't think any claim about the age of the universe is ever made.
I think this is instead the most accurate measurement of the distance between here and very far away galaxies, and of the distances between those galaxies. But I may be wrong on that. RTFA
I'm about 75% of the way through my first read of this book. So far I've seen nothing that under any insanely loose definition could be considered pornographic. Now I'm wondering if something happens in the last quarter. I'm going to not RTFA or the comments, and finish the book.
If you want a visual explanation of the purpose and result of daylight saving time, check out this graph: Picasa Web Albums - Paul Nickerson
The purpose, as I understand it, is to make the sun not rise super early against the clock during the summer. The effect is that it reduces the range of sunrise times, while increasing the range of sunset times. In a way, it normalizes sunrises while amplifying sunsets.
Oh, and while we're at it, during a non-DST period, if the time zones were evenly split and straight with no regard to human geographic borders, then at the middle of the time zone, 12:00 (noon) would be the time that astronomical noon is (when the sun is highest in the sky), varying by about 20 minutes before and after noon. If you average all the astronomical noons over the course of a year in the middle of a time zone, then astronomical noon is at precisely 12:00. During DST, astronomical noon is moved to 1:00 pm (13:00)
Sounds to me like they're saying that Thailand normally provides 1/4, but with the factories closed, it temporarily supplied less. If that's the case, then the "but" makes sense in that context, with some implications sprinkled in.
If you're wondering how many different images exist for all the seizures, the answer is 9. You can see them all here. In my gathering, I found 338 seized domains pointing to 74.208.15.160 and 74.81.170.110
I did an analysis of me, my Facebook friends, and my Facebook friends' Facebook friends who are Facebook friends with more than one of my Facebook friends.
The article hints at this but never says it outright: The reason climate change is controversial among those with little or no scientific background or training while diamond planets are not is because climate change research affects many governmental regulation policies. If the diamond planet idea is wrong, then corrections to theories are made, and the field moves on. If it's right, then it may contribute to the development of helpful technologies and discoveries. But if a climate change idea is wrong, then corrections to theories are made, and the field moves on, and either the world economy has suffered for no reason or people are experiencing famines that could have been prevented. Thus, controversial.
At 9:00 am Sunday morning, August 28, EDT. According to the Hurricane IRENE Advisory Archive. At that time, it was centered over New York City (it was 40 miles SSW of there an hour earlier). Until then, estimated and measured wind speeds made the system a hurricane.
If you want to dispute the accuracy of NWS current measurements and estimates, then research how they do it and dispute properly. They use recon aircraft, doppler radar, satellite imagery, balloons, and ships, in addition to buoys and automated surface observation systems, to measure and estimate wind speeds. If you want to dispute the NWS's predictions, then either learn meteorology and forecast models to prepare yourself, or compare past predictions to later observations. If you want to dispute the NWS's warning wording, then compare predicted conditions and their real world impact to the NWS's wording. If you want to dispute the media's hype, then compare their hype to the NWS's warnings, and have fun.
But do not ask such an amazingly easy to answer question like "When Did Irene Stop Being a Hurricane?" in order to stir provocation, without answering it. And do not look at some buoy and automated surface observation system data and claim there was no hurricane just from that.
Huh, that's nice. I've probably seen that a few times when I try all the F# keys to see what they do in a particular application, and then promptly forgot it. I think I'll keep using Ctrl-F, though, as I frequently have the text I want to search for in the clipboard, and so doing Ctrl-F then Ctrl-V (no need to release the Ctrl key between combos) is faster than F3 then Ctrl-V.
And on a related note, I like having the Google Quick Scroll extension installed on Google Chrome (not sure if there's something available for Firefox). If a website linked to by a Google search result has any viewabl;e text that was part of the reason that that website came up as a rsult, Google Quick Scroll will let you jump right to it.
They missed one of the more interesting facts. One that I didn't know about until I played on an original Donkey Kong arcade that had been embedded into a table in a burrito restaurant in Orono, Maine, and read the instructions. The character's original name was Jumpman.
The video reminds me of the panels that Aperture Laboratories had in their Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center, in Portal 2. It's cool to see the concept have a real world use. I wonder if there are other useful applications for the concept?
This school would get laughed at if they even mentioned prosecution of this student for this behavior to a DA, so there's no reason they should be allowed to do this.
In the torrent is 10,356 email files. If you filter out all file names that contain the words warning, failure, visa, request, failed, or reservation, you're left with 58 files, some of which appear to be spam. So, not a great treasure trove.

I am disappointed with TI. My first programming language was TI-BASIC on the TI-83 Plus. My second was assembly for the Z80 processor on that calculator. Both were supported by TI (the program used to transfer assembly programs from a computer to the calculator was produced and distributed by TI). It is the reason I chose to pursue computer science in college, and has made me the happy programmer I am today. It is sad TI does not want to allow today's youth the same opportunity through the same means.
2nd Generation iPod Touches stopped getting iOS updates when they were 1.2 years old. iPod Touch 3rd Generation was released 9/9/09, and iOS 4.2.1 (the last one for iPod Touch 2nd Generation) was released November 22, 2010.
I assumed the universe was a three dimensional sphere, with uniform density, and a density parameter of 1 (meaning we use euclidean geometry). I may be wrong, though. I had no idea what you were talking about until I looked it up.

If you're wondering how many seized site banners there are out there, it's 11. Here they all are: DOJ Seized Domain Notices - Paul Nickerson - Picasa Web Albums
My script found only 389 seized domains in total, and that should be over 465, so I'll try again in a few days and update the album.
I gathered all 10 of the banners used in the 377 seized domains, and uploaded them here: DOJ Seized Domain Notices - Paul Nickerson - Picasa Web Albums
If you're wondering how many different images exist for all the seizures, the answer is 9. You can see them all here. In my gathering, I found 338 seized domains pointing to 74.208.15.160 and 74.81.170.110
