The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with Rice University and others created OpenStax Textbooks as an open source and cheap set of college level textbooks. Though adoption appears to be pretty slow.
Too bad CafePress didn't feel like publishing this letter to those people to let them know how lame their candidate is. But in the end, they'd want those products to stay up so that CafePress can continue to profit from sales of those products.
That is NOT how the EM Drive supposedly works. It's a closed system. The microwaves are not ejected out of the back, they remain in the chamber. If it works, it appears to somehow violates the conservation of momentum. Conservation of momentum: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/conmo.html
But unfortunately it seems that the data and methods from the German lab are shaky.
I don't know about carrying guns into being safer. The loss of life or a life changing and costly injury that can just as well bankrupt you while leaving you crippled is not a better deal in my book.
Nope, two wrongs still don't make a right. Adding more bullshit to a fucked up industry does not help anyone. Except for the lawyers and to a small degree the journalists covering it.
Been re-listening to all these YT clips... I forgot about how awesome Kutiman is. I need to incorporate some of his stuff into a DJ set. Thru You would be awesome in a downtempo set.
One of my all time favorite albums was the first 100% sample based album released on a label (as far as people know). DJ Shadow - "Endtroducing" Do yourself a favor and check it out! Though I believe he has had to change a few samples because of lawsuits.
You'd think they could set up the contest to walk the winner through that portion of the industry and get their music copyrighted, cross the Ts/dot the Is and pay them a fair amount for their work.
What I find so sad about this is how many hardcore right wingers just say stuff like, "Oh now we have a double standard since they used the IRS to spy on conservatives!"
They'd rather pull some petty tit-for-tat BS than support the idea of actually fixing the damn problem.
I don't know why the terrorists bother messing with us, between staunch partisanship, widespread spying, the attack on science & education, financial fuckery, and the only terror plots we bust up are FBI sideshows; are really doing a much better job at wrecking things on our own soil than they are.
The list has been amended to include other singers. Mike Patton comes out on top. Please ignore the hyperbolic title of greatest singer of all time as this is just a ranking of vocal ranges. It was taken from released recordings. Some of these singers may have larger ranges and there are likely really bad singers that have great vocal ranges that we will never know about. Still no Minnie Riperton.
