Not legal advice, but why not get your roomie to sign a piece of paper, an agreement between you and him that you have no knowledge of his Internet activities and he is soley responsible for them, and he is paying you because you are the account holder for billing purposes but in all other ways it is his responsibility for his access? Just imagine if he was looking a kiddie porn... Having that agreement in place ahead of time would really be a Good Thing.

Right, but watch out for Amazon vine http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/06/29/2119224/Could-Amazon-Reviews-Be-Corrupt

that would have made sense if the symbol for pi actually had stayed in the comment. oh well

how bout ? maybe e if you're feeling frisky.

It's probably safe to assume they would correlate frequency of metaphor use and the specific metaphors used to identify individuals as a source of a given message. I think they did something similar with the unibomber, odd phrases helped to show the messages were from a single source.

All of the structures are related. Graphene is the one atom thick sheet stuff. Nanotubes are the sheets rolled into... tubes. Buckyballs are the sheets in a ball. Each has its its purpose: Graphene is a great conductor and really strong in two dimensions, Nanotubes are also great transmitters of heat and electricity in one dimension, and buckyballs can in theory be used for medicines, abrasives, or little tiny bearings. http://cnx.org/content/m14355/latest/

all of this is relatively new, but having a way to make graphene inexpensively and reliably in any lab (the whole scotch tape pencil method) allows researches all over the world to make some and study it. As for being a "fad", as TFA states, the scientists aren't promising the next big thing, but are tempering excitement with caution.

Bout half that of dolomite

Yes, making graphene with pencils and scotch tape would have gotten you a nobel prize if you woulda thought of it a few years ago. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2010/press.html

Graphene ribbons respond very well to changes in voltage making them very nifty (possibly) for transistors. Great flow when you want it in a controllable way. The main issue being that they don't have a very good "off" state. So you get a nice curve of voltage v. current flowing across them, except for the middle part around 0V. That's what everyone is working on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene#Graphene_transistors http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/graphene-transistors-cant-be-turned-off-wont-replace-silicon-in-processors-20110124/

Um... you don't think he was hiding out by himself with, ya know, no documents, records, phones, or other intel that we might have snagged? That and the messages "you can't hide anywhere" and "we will come and get you, alone, and without the help of the country you are in" are pretty powerful.

Pretty big gamble by members of the anonymous crowd: if the giant massive preplanned SHOW OUR STRENGTH RAR! sit-in ends up being 12 fat guys, 3 furries, and a couple of abhumans that finally left their parent's basement, the anon-movement will take a giant credibility hit. Kinda like when the brought down Amazon.com for a couple minutes... really showed 'em then!

And think about post calculus math: Linear algebra... gotta know what those array things are and how to deal with them; probability and statistics are also very useful in programming. Sure, a code warrior may not need to know differential equations or vector calc to design a UI, but advanced code design and the "science" part require math. Oh, and the secret of calculus? Calc 1: figuring out the instantaneous rate of change of an equation and the minimums and maximums. Calc 2: the area under a curve. Calc 3: the volume of a curved object.
