Imagine an area on the plane where the screaming kids will sit, able to hear what's going on, but not being heard. Or to separate first class from cattle class even better than it already is. Not the most necessary of solutions, but might gain them some extra pax.

They are documented in the regulations linked by the GP and there are clearly documented compliance and appeals processes in there as well. It's a hell of a read though.

The company might well be registered with them already. Searching for VMWare, Oracle, SAP on their approved schools page returns a number of training companies with registered technical offerings. Not living anywhere near California, I have no idea what training companies there are, so YMMV.

They should be pushing courses into these countries as hard as possible. By exposing the students to the rest of the world and having them interact with the multitude of other countries and cultures of the other students, you give them an understanding of what the rest of the world is like and a chance to debate it with others.

By cutting them off like this, you now have a group of students who were busy educating themselves now unable to finish that process and that will likely result in the student starting to think "maybe my government is right about the Americans."

It becomes a matter of balance between whether the course material assists the regime or whether the interaction with other students causes more people to question the regime. I think the balance tips heavily in favour of causing questions.

You wouldn't keep it there, but because of the regional market segmentation, PLEX might be 550mil ISK in Jita and 620mil ISK in nullsec somewhere, so you decide to buy a bunch of them, transship to the higher selling market and make a quick profit. Unless you undock from Jita 4-4 and get blown to pieces.

You don't have to ship it yourself, as you could run a courier contract, but they can get stolen and if you price the collateral high enough to not make a loss if they get nicked, then the chances of someone taking the contract up diminishes because of the not-able-to-dock-in-the-delivery-station scams making massive collateral contracts suspect.

May I suggest you stop watching American-made documentaries and switch to those made by the BBC. They certainly don't call the non-Westerners backward and savages. Go and grab the Science and Islam series or When Rome Ruled and you'll see a decent take on history.

Nah, no Roman would ever condone blocking sex in any form. It was their national past-time.

Since your comment history strongly suggests you are American and the study was carried out by paleoanthropologists from Oxford University, I can safely say you have no need to be concerned about your tax dollars funding this research.

Closer here means culturally and structurally more like the Western civilizations than the pre-Columbus cultures, not physically closer.

The Mediterranean and jungles of South America refer to the expected locations of lost civilization ruins rather than in New England area.

The three scales, 100k, 500k and 1M, are the points at which certain accounting and audit requirements kick in. At 1M, the full bank of requirements has kicked in and are applicable no matter how far above that limit you get. Maybe there should be a 250M and 1B point with even more requirements, but the SEC seems to think that everything they need at 1B is answered by the requirements at 1M.

You need to dig deeper into the history of Christianity, not just the European version of. Original sin did not exist as a doctrine until Augustine of Hippo and it does not exist at all in the Eastern Orthodox rites. Christ did not atone for the "possible" sin of Adam and Eve, he atoned for our active sinning.

Augustine formalized the doctrine as he needed something to argue against sex as being fun for the Romans.

Eastern Orthodoxy does not accept hereditary guilt or sexually-transmitted original sin and states more logically that humans exist in a fallen state where we are susceptible to sin and require work to rise from that state.

So you're that guy. Just bloody well flush the bog when you're done. It's disgusting.

Pure physics-wise, you are correct. Heating the same volume the same amount requires the same amount of heat energy. The difference is the source of the heat energy.

A resistive heater produces the heat by consuming electrical power only, 3400 BTU/hr generated heat requires a bit over 4.2A of 220V electricity to flow through the resistive element. (specs from a Radiant Cove heater unit)

A quick intro to the refrigeration cycle can be found here https://www.swtc.edu/ag_power/air_conditioning/lecture/basic_cycle.htm.

A heat pump is the same as an air conditioner or fridge, just installed with the condensor inside the building and the evaporator outside. The primary heat source is the outside air and the only power is that needed to power the compressor unit to move the working fluid through the cycle. The smallest Fujitsu unit generates 11000 BTU/hr using 3.7A at 220V.

Basically the answer is the same amount of energy is needed for the same heating, but the heat pump uses a different source and an efficient process to produce the heat than a resistive load does.

Or restoring it a day or two later without explanation of whether it was because of the bad PR or a completely screwed up customer support process in replacing a faulty Kindle. http://www.dailydot.com/news/amazon-linn-nygaard-deleted-account-restored/

If you plug the number into a unix timestamp to GMT converter, it returns Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:52:19 GMT, so it looks like it is a time stamp, probably LastModified or something.
