Just think about it... these galaxies have been around for billions of years longer than ours. That means that any planets kicking around in there are going to have had billions of years longer to evolve than our little blue planet.
You apparently don't realize that the oldest known star in our galaxy is 13.2 Gy old (implying that our galaxy is at least that old).
...you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Yes. Sequent Symmetry S81, up to 384MB of RAM, and up to 30 80386 processors.
No, it won't fit under your desk.
Slackers! We built our computers from discrete logic. In fact, we built our own NAND gates using only dirt and duct tape!
Duct tape? You had duct tape? Sheesh, these kids today.
P.S. Get off my lawn.
Intel just is not interested that much in x86 as everyone wants a tablet. Businesses will switch to them too in a few years with keyboard that plug into your new 13 inch Metro tablet for content creation.
After looking around my office at the amount of screen real-estate needed for me and my co-workers to efficiently do our jobs, I can only say one thing:
Um, no.
Fuck, no.
What, are you on drugs or something?
I agree, plus the "I captured this soldier, he won't talk..."
There's an app for that!
Followup to my previous post - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HR_8799 confirms that the orbital periods are approximately 45, 100, 190, and 460 years.
These are not "hot Jupiters", they are gas giants dozens of astronomical units (i.e. billions of miles) from their host star. The innermost (HR 8799e) is substantially farther out than Saturn, nearly as far as Uranus. The outermost is substantially farther out than Pluto. I wouldn't expect that b, c, and d would have appeared to move much. Planet e wasn't detected in the 2008 images, and probably would not have appeared to move much between the 2009 and 2010 images. I would expect that e has an orbital period in the neighborhood of 50 years, with b-d in the hundreds.
What accounts for the new ice-age we are entering, with year-to-year glacial expansion, and London's prospective 3rd white Christmas in a row?
We are currently in an ice age, specifically the Quaternary ice age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation
As a Seahawks fan, I have to say that your implication that the 12th man effect is improving their game is very depressing to me. Without the 12th man, they'd suck even more than they do.
This is generally true only in cases where a jury has already been seated - which is true in this case. It's not universally true.
The prosecutor did the right thing, although probably for the wrong reasons.
If by "roman empire" (~27BC-~1450AD) you meant "Roman republic" (~509BC- ~27BC) you'd be right on your second point. The government as formed under our Constitution in 1787 was no empire.
You could reasonably argue that the U.S. has engaged in imperialism since, but to claim that the US government was modeled after any empire is prima facie ludicrous.
Import/export of counterfeit physical goods and IP falls under ICE jurisdiction.
ICE is a department of DHS.
No, but ICE can (and does) confiscate counterfeit goods as it enters the US.
P.S.
I think this is the main point. Copyright infringement is not a crime (yet). A government office should not be interfering in a civil matter.
It can be.
