Hi
Who is going to produce the good and services that Japan is stoping to
manufacture because of the disaster? My probably "raw opinion" is that an
unfortunate event like this one, is the oportunity that US needs to
reactive his economy. ¿Isn't it?

Come on, Peoples! Work is DEFINED in Newtonian mechanics as being done "when a
force moves its point of application". Thass all - and plenty enuff! So you
lift a box up to a shelf - you doing work, as defined by Isaac, the Laborers
Union and most Plain Folks. You put a whiskey jigger on a
In the true spirit of FRIAM, I propose that we generalize what we mean by
"generalize".
And then we could perhaps steer the discussion in the direction of how to
produce a "generalizable" ABM.
Said ABM could be made aware of it's computing host, therefore further
generalizing its computation capa
The two nuclear plants in CA, San Onofre and Diablo Canyon, produce about 4.5

Oranges and Apples maybe? They're different technologies (BWR vs

originated with the basic design, but were due to loss of supporting

If you read the Wall Street Journal, then you
get the impression the situation is not that bad
at all, it is only unconfortable for Tepco (Tokyo
Electric Power Company). If you follow the media
and read the newspapers here in Germany, you get
a completely different opinion. You get the

Agreed! Work, constraint, cause, etc. were all words long before Newton (if we
are willing to translate them, many centuries before). Newton gave them very
technical meanings in his system, but the technical meanings were "just" a
matter of making more strict the common meanings.
We could, if we

A clear application of the 3rd law depending on the frame of reference of
the "static" rail system. So would the "frame" itself constitute a
