Not necessarily. As a random example, if you're an FAA safety inspector you have to wait two years before you can be hired by an airline for a job that involves interacting with the FAA.

Kia is Hyundai.

No they aren't.

How are bombs blowing up randomly rather then at times when the bomber judges that they'll be most effective increasing the threat?

There is. It's under Settings->General->Restrictions

What would you do if I sold "unlimited monthly data" internet access at 300bps?

Not buy it?

Ehh? A Pascal is a Newton/m^2. So:
100m^2 * 1000Pa = 100,000N
100,000N / 10m/s^2 = 10,000 kg = 10 Tonnes

No, "Project Gunrunner" began under President Bush. "Operation Fast and Furious", while part of Project Gunrunner, didn't begin until 2009.

I can think of three off the top of my head: Solyndra and Beacon Power who both received DOE money, and Evergreen Solar who received Massachusetts money.
While they are still around I personally don't have high hopes for 1366 Technologies, who also received DOE money. They appear to be repeating the same mistake Evergreen made, specifically, betting that the price of silicon isn't going to go down. They may also be falling into the non-standard panels problem but I don't know enough about their final process to be sure.

Also, while not a solar company, Ener1, another DOE recipient filed for chapter 11 about a month ago.

The company acquiring Union Carbide has also acquired all the liabilities along with the assets. Dow has pretty much everything to do with Union Carbide and the Bhopal disaster. If Dow did not want the "baggage" that came along with the Union Carbide purchase, they should have stayed away from it.

How exactly did Dow have "pretty much everything to do with[...] the Bhopal disaster" when the the closest they come is owning the company that at one point in the past owned the company that owned the plant? The Bhopal plant was run by Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL), and UCIL was sold to an Indian company back in the early 90's. About 7 years later Dow came along and bought Union Carbide. So not only is there a few layers of ownership in between, there is also a gap of several years. Why doesn't Eveready Industries India Ltd (the company that UCIL turned into) get the "baggage" associated with Bhopal?

Out of all the examples you could pick you picked rayon? Rayon is produced using cellulose (wood), sodium hydroxide, carbon disulfide and sulfuric acid. It isn't a synthetic fiber, and there isn't any petroleum involved in the process. Rayon is just cellulose that has been dissolved and regenerated as a fiber.

Sounds to me like you didn't put ANY effort into preserving the battery.

"a lot" of effort would have involved learning what kinds of things drain the battery beforehand and then avoiding them. Apple has a web page devoted to eeking the most you can get out of your iphone battery at http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

A minimal amount of effort would have been turning the thing off, because turning a battery powered device off to save the batteries isn't exactly a revolutionary idea.

So what exactly did "a lot of effort" entail?

You managed to get the values for both 3 sigma, and 5 sigma wrong
+/- 3 sigma = 1 in 370 (which is what clued me into them being wrong, 1/81 + 0.997 isn't close to 1)
+/- 5 sigma = 1 in 1,744,278

People basically had bots (or a bunch of their friends) play their songs over and over allow them to rack up large play numbers.

I believe Amazon charges a significant fee to use their borrowing service (IIRC you need Amazon Prime) and puts limits on the number of books you can take out in a given period of time, so this shouldn't be an issue with them.

Maybe if you want to know what the invention is you should look at the part of the patent where they tell you what the invention is, rather then reading the abstract?

How do you know that?

More specially, how do you that once he had access the hacker didn't introduce new vulnerabilities into the system?

You seem to be the one who is trying to redefine work. Work = Force * Distance. One the "initial push" is over, Force becomes zero, and any further movement results in zero work.
