Majority of wealthy people simply have stocks. Not money. Money in bank account can be quickly wiped out if bank bankrupted (see what happened in Cyprus, Lehman Brothers etc). From multi-million account there will be 100,000 euro/usd from government's guarantee. How do you want to take them "money", when they don't have literally money but are owners, co-owners of companies, bought paper obligation of some country etc. etc. .. ? If wealthy person wants to buy something expensive, they go to bank and take credit giving stocks as guarantee. Otherwise they would have to sell stocks. Good companies are earning money by them self and giving each year, or quarter, dividend. It has automatically calculated and subtracted tax (at least here, once I had stocks of company which paid dividend (active stock market player is immediately selling stocks prior dividend and rebuying after it's been paid) ). Wealthy person can have no work, no job. He/she pays only tax from dividend. It'll be used to pay credit installment. Increasing tax from selling stocks, will affect fluidity of stock markets, and run away of money (and meltdown) to places where are lower capital taxes.

My neighborhood worked for Sabre and told me how he "worked" on large project: he wrote 30 lines of code in C/C++ in 3 months.. The rest of time, 8h per day or so, he spend on meetings asking for permission to make these 30 lines of code. It's not for me. In the same period of time, I wrote alone maybe 60,000-120,000 lines of code in my apps (one module has 5-10k lines, and I was writing one per week or so)..

Such modules I am writing in 1-7 days. Client is typically not programmer, so specifications are quite rough *) Typically I can tell client in advance whether project is plausible or not. But if function in base application is broken, how can I know in advance prior using it.. ? If these projects would be for months of coding, in large team of programmers somebody would have to check whether all functions in SDK are working fine, to not waste time. *) or even I am doing everything my way, knowing what effect client wants. Because his vision was since beginning impossible (like last December project).

Tests before coding? That's completely different type of tests than we're talking about. I thought that we're talking about finding bugs in ready application. Tests before coding would be about checking new algorithms whether they're faster, better, less memory hungry, whether program has sense writing (especially true for 3rd party plugins, modules and extensions, not once I started coding such module just to find out that what I wanted to do is impossible because there is no functionality in base application or there is error in some function that I needed to use and whole project was screwed up (but doesn't bother me lost day or two to find it out). Couple such projects were stalled for a couple years until original developer added/fixed needed functionality) etc. etc.

I doubt such company has free access to source codes of application they're testing.. Not to mention they can be million lines of code to analyze.. Often even application developer's in large projects not have full access to entire project (except top level programmers). They see only other people's modules compiled objects/linkable libraries/shared libraries, but no source of them. This way leakage from one person/compromised machine won't end up in lost of entire project. Newbie must see other people source codes to learn from examples.

Never had fb account.. Not planning to change it. Friends in the real world? Author is controversial at least. Do you watched "The Social Network" movie.. ? I don't do anything to people like me.

Write applications for yourself. Write it every day. One application/game with GUI per day (or week depending on complexity). You will be able to show your stuff in portfolio to employer. Or even sell it through Internet using PayPal, or other service allowing charging Visa/Master cards to clients. For retail clients applications should be in C/C++/.NET Framework. Does some application that you're using right now annoys you? f.e. doesn't have functionality that you would like to have. Write it by yourself. f.e. always annoyed me that built-in Windows calculator doesn't have history of previous calculations for review, or to return to them. Making your own calculator in .NET Framework shouldn't take more than one day of programming. History can be stored in XML, CSV or database. (CSV can be easily imported to OpenOffice SpreadSheet/Excel, nice feature) Calculator for physicists could have buttons with constants f.e. c, Planck, Reduced plank, mass of electron, elementary charge etc. etc. In one version you can encode them as buttons, in more extended make them editable to user.

Search google for "arterial blood vs venous blood". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein We see animals arterial blood during f.e. hunting when hunter or slaughter doesn't bother to keep animal alive. Humans blood that we ordinary see is from veins.

Evolution is science, not religion. We're not praying to fossils, but study them. Classify to which branch of evolution given sample should belong. Filling gaps (if such exists) after new discovered fossil. It's like puzzle. One block fits perfectly between two other found previously. That's how you know birds are related to Tyrannosaurs.. Studying living organisms is even easier, as we have their DNA, and can compare between species to find similarities. We can tell from your DNA were your ancestors living hundred years ago. Whether they were Jude, Polish, German, Roman, French, Irish, African or Chinese..

There is external influence. Any physicists know it. There are UV photons, x-rays, gamma rays, alpha decay, beta decay, causing random changes to molecules, if they hit it. Also DNA. Causing mutation. Typically in wrong way. That's what we call cancer. Cell that stopped doing its normal task, and get out of control of organism. Each cancer is unique, because each damage to DNA is unique. If somebody is radiated by radioactive isotopes/nuclear weapons, significant portion of his cells is changed, and damage is lethal. But small amount of radiation in small percentage of cases will produce new features. Especially changes made to mother's cell/spermatozoon. You can culture bacterias in lab. And radiate them by radioactive particles. And observe damages/changes. ps. Not to mention influence of Moon and thunderbolts.

See computers. The main data storage is bit, 0 or 1. Take 8 bits, and you can arrange them to 256 combinations. Take 4.5 billions of bytes and you can arrange them to the all Hollywood and worldwide movies ever created and stored on DVD, all software programs stored on 1 DVD, all games stored on 1 DVD.. etc. etc.

When and where theory of evolution was proven to be wrong??

Knowledge is not encoded in DNA. You learn during life. You learn every day. Apes can learn much faster and much better than us. See this:

Did not you grow up from single cell from mother, and single spermatozoon from father.. ?

Enthalpy, please attach source codes of your benchmarking applications so we will be able to compile them by ourself and check our gfx cards.

Such element is called optoisolator/transoptor. I have couple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator Not quite. Job of transoptor is not amplification, but separation of circuits. f.e. you have 1st circuit on computer side, sending data (0 no current, 1 current), and 2nd circuit, using external power source, when no current flows through computer circuit (0 signal), 2nd circuit has also no current flow. when current flows through computer circuit (1 signal), 2nd circuit is passing current. Failure of circuit in 2nd circuit won't ruin whole computer motherboard. They're used f.e. in computer devices using old serial/parallel interfaces.

Crimea has now destroyed economy. They were earning significant portion of budget on Ukrainian's tourists arriving Crimea at summer time. Now they're permanently lost. About Donetsk economy now, better say no word..

Remove colon character from the end of URL.. ps. Mordred, make always space after link, prior writing more text.

But he needs right proportions.. Baking soda = sodium bicarbonate. With sodium carbonate reaction:

If they like sugar, use it to catch them to aquarium or jar. Let them follow line of sugar, to place where they won't be able to get out. Dig hole in the ground and place jar/aquarium there, so it will be perfectly lined up with the ground. + camera recording Then earthworms put to aquarium with soil. Place few randomly aligned needles on top. And then observe what they do (or not) to needles.

Your theory can be summarized to: "neutron is proton + electron + antineutrino" Right? Then what you will say when you will analyze Beta Decay Plus (Positron emission)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission [math]p^+\rightarrow n^0 + e^+ + V_e[/math] Which happens in proton-rich isotopes, like f.e. Carbon-11? Unlike neutron-rich isotopes, where Beta Decay Minus happens [math]n^0\rightarrow p^+ + e^- + \bar{V}_e[/math]

You would need Cockcroft-Walton generator and Van der Graaf generator to create high-voltage for a start.. http://blazelabs.com/e-exp15.asp (if you're talking about nuclear transmutation/fission/fusion) Getting noble gases from air requires apparatus to condensation of Oxygen.

Correct for theoretical scientists. For experimental, you will see lot of equipment. f.e. on the left side of me is Cloud Chamber, on second there is camera on tripod and retort stand with attached Graham condenser (spiral).

Oh.That doesn't make me younger. So you have never experienced the horror of a black DOS screen I presume, with the silly little - blinking. You made premature assumptions. I simply switched directly from Windows 95 to Windows ME, skipping 98. The first computer I get in 1986 was Atari 130 XE with 128 KB memory (I don't count Atari console to play). It could display up to 128 colors using special mode DLI (Display List Interrupt), called every row of screen (so approximately 12,000-15,625 times per second). Two years later I was programming its CPU machine code (anyway it's the only way to handle CPU interrupts). At that times almost everybody programmed computers, as long as they had computer. Because everything loaded from tape with rate 20-60 minutes each time, and Basic (each 8 bit computer had it built-in) was available immediately. You wanted or not wanted, you learned programming. ps. Blinking was to tell user where is cursor. Actually cursor I am using right now also is blinking in Firefox. Another blinking of screen I recall was while loading something. If it stopped blinking something went wrong, and computer crashed/blocked. So blinking was also information that everything goes smoothly.
