if President Bush signs the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act into law, as he is expected to do, then within months US credit card companies and banks will be forced to check for and refuse payment for most forms of online gambling.
Why does this sound like it's going against the freedom of the use of the internet? :confused:

I know all the formulae etc, however for some reason I cannot figure out this problem... perhaps its just the way the question is worded:

Figure 25-42 shows a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area A = 5.76 cm2 and a plate separation d = 5.76 mm. The left half of the gap is filled with material of dielectric constant κ1 = 9.00; the right half is filled with material of dielectric constant κ2 = 10.0. What is the capacitance?
Look here Nerdly McNerdsville, hop in the Delorean, get that sucka up to 88 MPH and when Doc looks like a young man then that's the Flux Capacitor. Watch that re-entry. It's a bitch.

você ta em lisboa agora?? :eek:
Sim, eu estou em Lisboa agora… em um apartamento nesta vizinhança:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=38.716406,-9.140282&spn=0.007032,0.021629&om=1

It's a pretty cool apartment (with Sapo ADSL access :tup:) on a hill, just above the Baixa District and in the shadow of the Saõ Jorge castle. (So much of a hill that the roads are narrow and the taxi driver bitched about it the whole way.) My next door neighbor is Cecilia Rodrigues, the sister of the infamous fado singer Amalia Rodrigues, and she looks so much like her it's scary. Cecilia's 4-year-old granddaughter is often running around our narrow street with a guitar serenading...it's pretty damn funny.

Andy: Jack is right. The RC function is one of the easiest and most useful physical properties in all of nature. :smoke: But you know, I am glad I don't have to answer these questions anymore myself. :D

I need to head down for some breakfast and figure out where all the locals are catching the Azerbaijan match. I'd have driven out to Porto this evening, but my head is still fried from the time change.

Greg, you finally escaped? Good for you! :D

Guys, if you think trolling can't get you in trouble, think again.

"In the UK, a man has been sentenced to three years in prison for posting inflammatory messages to a website. Pleading guilty to inciting racial hatred on a site dedicated to the memory of a murdered black teenager, the 30-year old accused stated that he was not racist, and had intended to stir up an argument on the website, but did not believe in what he had written. The defending lawyer described her client as 'isolated and living in a fantasy world, spending hours on his computer in his room where his persona could be as he made it, good or bad.'"

Yep, on the continent. But not planning to go any further north than, say, Braga.

I try to get out once in a while to avoid the constant monitoring of my conversations and all the religious oppression. :p
