In Canada there is a blanket tax for all Cd-R's that goes to the record companies. If you guy a blank CD in Canada, your automatically considered to be copyright thief (at least probabilistically), or as some other people prefer to think about it, you already paid for your right to pirate.

What if this happened in the Athlon/Pentium IV days? Maybe this guys were extremely patriotic and when the Navy demanded inefficient Pentium IVs they went to all this trouble to deliver them a chip that actually worked.

sorry, no. It drops potentially.

Not true. That is only true on explicit discretizations, CFL doesn't apply for implicit problems. On the other hand, you do have to invert a large matrix, but there are tools for doing that with large sparse matrices.

sorry about that, the product I meant to slashvertise is:

(Almost) not true. There is an experimental product that satisfies all of the above:

In South Africa, it was recently shown that it provides faster data rates than Telkom (major South Africa telecom):

wow, that even greater than I expected. Seven orders of magnitude!

I have zotero with 3.0.10 (as I'm sure many people have, it's the default Ubuntu version in 9.04) and Zotero works flawlessly. I've had issues in the past, when trying the Firefox3 beta, but it's been stable for many months now.

My dad only plugs me with original Microsfts.

that product, and further iterations like the Polaroid Pogo, or even the Dell Wasabi printer for some reason print 2 by 3 inch pictures, instead of the 3 1/2 by 4 1/4 (frame included). This was a deal killer for people I know.

a bit off-topic, but British Columbia is so far the only place in the world with a carbon tax up-and-running.

thanks for the link, it's the first time I see a reputable source with hard data. If true, the outlook looks more optimistic than I thought.

you need a differential equation system with delay. The big issue are the one or two weeks where an infected individual remains asymptomatic but already infectious. Solving DEs with delay is hard, and chaotic solutions are quite common. A more common modeling technique is a complex network statistical approach, such as when they modeled the whole city of Portland http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=if-smallpox-strikes-portl
