Only after all the secondary products decay. According to another poster, this thing produces a product with a 100 year half life, that is only slightly less radioactive than plutonium 238 (88 years). How long do you plan on waiting for that to "go back to being a big lump of inert metal"?

From where do you think comes the energy to generate those high pressures? Hint: burning things and releasing CO2.

Bet-al-Geuse: The house of Geuse.

The armpit is called "the house of the shoulder" in Semetic languages, so "house of Geuse" could be understood as "armpit of Geuse". Actually, the "Bet" is thought to be a misreading of "Yad" (very similar letters in Arabic) and the name was originally "Yad al Jauza" or the "hand of Jauza". I've yet to discover who Jauza is / was but I still do have some resources to check, just not the time!

If you or your lecturer are interested in any other star names, you can contact me. My Gmail username is the same as my /. username. In fact, I'm leaving later today for a ten day vacation to the arctic circle to see the northern nights for the first time, so you'll have to wait for an answer!

Right, hence this 'story'. Now you've heard of it.

Mass is not the issue, see Titan's atmosphere.

Nice! We often forget the trivials!

Why was this modded down? This is quite the most insightful comment here. Oh, AC mentioned Jews, that's why.

In a multi-body system there do exist balistic trajectories from one body which do not intersect either body again. However, the moon is too small and too distant to provide the effect from Earth. Conversely, I do believe that such trajectories could exist from the moon.

The secret is in the short distance from the keyboard to the letters on the screen. This demographic needs to see the key to press, and to see the key appear on the screen.

I'm in Beersheba, Israel. We're in the Middle East, but we are a technology center. In the two national computer chains, all the affordable motherboards use a LAN which is not supported in any contemporary Linux distro:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/927782

This is representative of the market in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. I don't know about South and Central America. I understand from the replies here that North America currently has budget motherboards using supported NICs, or at least did when most people posting here last built a system. Note that these boards started becoming ubiquitous here at about summertime, and they now saturate the market.

We agree on every point, but I would like to clarify two:

1) Derivative works are great, but as a supplement to and not a replacement for original works.

2) The goal of copyright reform should be to produce the greatest benefit to society, but there is no way possible for it to benefit society if it does not benefit authors, i.e. produce incentive (financial) for the creation of new works.

I have recently ordered a PCI-E NIC to put away for when I'll need it, but they are not generally available here. I really could not find one. I did find a USB ethernet adaptor that required a 2.4 kernel and would not work on anything newer, but I intend to find a newer one and keep it in my toolbox as well.

But that does not address the issue of no contemporary budget motherboard today being supported / supporting any contemporary Linux distro. Sure there are workarounds and fixes, but the real problem needs to be addressed.

Thank you for a sane anecdote, as opposed to the raving that some OS-religious people have been spewing!

The company happens to be in the terrific situation of not being in a rush to push this out, and the users want something better than what they have. I agree that "at all costs" is not the way to move a company to Linux desktops. In this case, it really is win-win for both the company and the users to migrate some of the workforce who request it to KDE.

I guess you are right, this is sort of a side-project, but it is a company-sponsored side project which will likely save more money than it costs, and the cost is so minimal that it really isn't an issue (nor the goal) either way.

Also, they keep the solar panels covering the thing off the ground. Solar panels don't last long when used as a wheel.

It also benefits society to encourage people to create new works of art, and not to simple repackage currently-existing material generation after generation (derivative works). Nobody but the composer or author is investing the time (and money for food and rent and kids' expenses) while the work is being created, except in the rare cases of already-established artists. And even in the case of the already-established artist, how do you think that they because established.

Creating art is an investment. Denying a return on that investment would prevent art from being created.
