Worth noting that until not long before the Cuban missile crisis there was only one single unconditional plan for the US fighting a nuclear war: the first version of SIOP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Integrated_Operational_... This targeted the Soviets, China, Warsaw Pact countries and even the likes of Yugoslavia and Albania. There was an exchange between General Power and David Shoup, Commandant of the Marine Corps, that went as follows: "What would happen if Beijing was not fighting; was there an option to leave Chinese targets out of the attack plan?" Power was reported to have said that he hoped no one would think of that "...

CentralNotice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search The madman theory was an important part of Richard Nixon 's foreign policy The madman theory was a primary characteristic of the foreign policy conducted by U.S. President Richard Nixon . His administration, the executive branch of the federal government of the United States from 1969 to 1974, attempted to make the leaders of other countries think Nixon was mad , and that his behavior was irrational and volatile. According to Nixon's theory, leaders of hostile Communist Bloc nations would then avoid provoking the United States , fearing an unpredictable American response. Nixon explained the strategy to his White House Chief of Staff , H. R. Haldeman : I call it the Madman Theory, Bob. I want the North Vietnamese to believe I've reached the point where I might do anything to stop t...

NetHack 4 homepage | NetHack 4 blog | ATOM feed Tags: nethack internals c memory | Sun Mar 16 19:10:57 UTC 2014 | Written by Alex Smith One large difference between C and most other programming languages is that in C, you have to handle memory yourself rather than having a garbage collector do it for you. Ensuring that memory is allocated at the correct moment is not very difficult (and something that needs to be done manually in pretty much every language); the hard part is to ensure that enough memory is allocated, and to ensure that the memory is deallocated when it is no longer in use. There are several techniques available for memory management in C. Many of them are used in NetHack 3.4.3; and even more are used somewhere in NetHack 4. In this blog post, I'd like to look at them and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. I'm mostly concerned about correctness, ra...

Willem's Camel Milk corrects IE6 width calculation Saturday, September 10, 2011 I decided to write a circular buffer (CB) because my bittorrent client was responding to a peer's requests faster than what it could write. The poll function of my API threw me completely. My first two efforts were superseded by the third! Effort #1: Reading straight from the CB /** * Get pointer of data to be read. * @return pointer to data, null if we can't poll this much data * */ unsigned char *cbuf_poll( cbuf_t * cb, const int size ); Looks great, and would be an easy to use function. Unfortunately, boundary cases are the killer. For example, say as if you want to poll 10 bytes, but the head of the CB is currently at byte 9....

With no traditional chordal instrument, the group focuses on deep rhythms, expansive melodies, and atmospheric textures, while using electronic processing to expand the harmonic possibilities of the trumpet.

CentralNotice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search For other uses, see Telomere (disambiguation) . Human chromosomes (grey) capped by telomeres (white) Telomere A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid , which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Its name is derived from the Greek nouns telos ( τέλος ) 'end' and merοs ( μέρος , root: μερ- ) 'part.' For vertebrates , the sequence of nucleotides in telomeres is T T A G G G . This sequence of TTAGGG is repeated approximately 2,500 times in humans. [ 1 ] During chromosome replication , the enzymes that duplicate DNA cannot continue their duplication all the way to the end of a chromosome, so in each duplication the end of the chromosome is shortened [ 2 ] (this is because the s...
CentralNotice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search For the protein, see Programmed cell death 1 . Programmed cell-death (or PCD ) is death of a cell in any form, mediated by an intracellular program. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] PCD is carried out in a regulated process , which usually confers advantage during an organism's life-cycle . For example, the differentiation of fingers and toes in a developing human embryo occurs because cells between the fingers apoptose ; the result is that the digits are separate. PCD serves fundamental functions during both plant and metazoa (multicellular animals) tissue development. Apoptosis and autophagy are both forms of programmed cell death, but necrosis is a non-physiological process that occurs as a result of infection or injury. [ 3 ] Necrosis is the death of a cell caused by external factors such as trauma or infe...
CentralNotice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search This article is about the term C-value in cell biology. For the tool used by architects and engineers to calculate lines-of-sight by spectators in theaters and stadiums, see sightline . C-value is the amount, in picograms , of DNA contained within a haploid nucleus (e.g. a gamete ) or one half the amount in a diploid somatic cell of a eukaryotic organism. In some cases (notably among diploid organisms), the terms C-value and genome size are used interchangeably; however, in polyploids the C-value may represent two or more genomes contained within the same nucleus. Greilhuber et al. [ 1 ] have suggested some new layers of terminology and associated abbreviations to clarify this issue, but these somewhat complex additions have yet to be used by other authors. 1 Origin of the term 2 ...
