In Supreme Court, the panel of judges will always be a odd number? 3,5,7 so the decision in terms of votes count verdict will always outcome a result and not a tie?

How can we evaluate the linearity of a dependent voltage/current source? Components like resistors are easy to deal with because they always obey a linear equation. Dependent sources are more complicated because their voltage/current relationships depends on other parameters within the circuit.

Summary: different methods give different results. They are not consistent. Summary: different methods give different results. They are not consistent. I use two different methods to detect whether a matrix is singular. The result of calculating the determinant of a 9-order square matrix is...

Hi guys. What's your opinion on people that judge the choices of other people? I personally think that is rude to have the assumption you know what someone else you should do to have a better life. There were many times people told me what in their opinion I should do, and what I shouldn't...

Basically part-time graduate students are paying their own way through grad school. At the least they probably aren't receiving much if any assistance from the university. Because of this, are university departments less strict on the criteria for admitting a part-time student? If i put...

Feed all the laws into it and the robot and let the robot make unbiased judgements. Are human feelings necessary for a good court judgement? At least the first level judgement could be by a computer. If there is a dispute, it could be escalated to a higher human judge. Thoughts?

How bad is my statistics knowledge based on the following mind map? Any concepts which aren't bold are the concepts that I know; the bold ones are the ones I'm currently learning. The mind map in question: http://i.imgur.com/4He3f.png What should I learn next based on my current...

40 teams are taking place in a knock-out competition in which there is no seeding. They all have rankings determined by previous performance. The pairings are decided by a completely random draw, e.g. all the team names are put in a hat and drawn by a neutral party. What are the chances of the...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18773690 So apparently Samsung hasn't violated Apple's iPad patents. I beg to differ with the judge's ruling however in that the Samsung is much better value (cooler) than the iPad...as with all Apple products IIRC. If, however, "coolness" is often...

After a lot of thoughts , I quite agree that the present system which the world has adopted say NOTHING about the math and science talent ! Do you people really think those ... umm Math and science Olympiads say something about your knowledge in math and science ? I don't think so ! I...

A 61 year old judge in Pennsylvania was sentenced to prison for taking kickbacks from a "for profit" jail facility. He was one of two judges convicted for giving jail time to mostly young offenders found guilty of relatively minor offenses for the purpose, at least in part, of earning his...

This is breaking, and completely unexpected (by me, that is). The lower courts haven't tried to limit Congress' authority under Commerce since the New Deal, as far as I know. It is now within the realm of possibility that Congress may have finally overstepped its tolerable authority in the...

So, what kind of judgement could they get against a 4 year old? Can they get a judgement against future income? Put the careless kid in reform school? The article makes it sound like the judge feels the child intentionally or carelessly rammed her bike into the old woman, which may have...

In a recent case in New Jersey, a judge cited the husband's religion in a case where his wife asserted she was raped by her husband and was seeking a protective order. Contrary to some reports, the judge did not say the husband was legally entitled to sexual relations with his wife against her...

I just learned the Brouwer fixed-point theorem of dimention 1 and 2.But the exercises make me sad,I can't solve them. Suppose X and Y are of the same homotopy type and X has the fixed-point property.Does Y also have it?

Hello. A friend of mine stated the following; If you stand on top of a moving plane (v=1000km/h) and shoot a bullet from a gun (muzzle velocity under normal conditions = 1000km/h) in the same direction that the plane is moving. He claims that the bullet will not leave the gun or if it does only...

I got a good one for y'all A criminal was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go...

The last time I asked this question on PF was a year and a half ago, I believe. It was suggested back then that I wait to post this until further along into his second term. Well, here we are: how will history judge President George W. Bush?

I have been trying to figure this out in my head and I just can’t make sense of it. Why don’t we use matter, i.e. an oscillating spring, to keep track of the rate of time? I know light has a constant velocity in all reference frames, but does that make it a better source for an accurate rate...

Just watched some of the John Roberts hearing. Made simplistic analogy of the proposed position being like the umpire at a baseball game. To paraphrase: "to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat". Key points I heard from his speech: (which was basically a canned interview speech as...

How many times have you found yourself silently blaming, labeling or demeaning a total stranger whom either you pass on the street or otherwise not had the opportunity to "walk a mile in his/her moccasins"? Is it natural or ethical to suspect those to whom we are unaccustomed? (Kinda reminds...

If you want to measure the length of something, you need a Frame of Reference (yardstick) to refer to, which must have a standard calibration up to the acceptable accuracy. When you judge someone- his personality, his opinions, what is the yardstick you use against him? How do you know...

this was a new post today http://arxiv.org/astro-ph/0401244 it is still just a germinal idea remember in 1998 type IA supernovae were used as a standard candle and the luminosity-distances of them at various redshifts pointed to the existence of dark energy or cosmological constant...

Some years ago I became aware of a movement to inform citizens that as a juror, and regarding one's vote in that capacity for guilt or innocence, one is not bound by some instructions that may be given by the presiding judge in that trial. Example: When the judge tells the jury to ignore...

Judge Suspended Yes! As an atheist I say: "WE SHALL OVERCOME" Everyone keep tuned to the news because they're going to rip the monument out and haul it away to the dump, and the religious nuts are saying they're going to riot. This will be better than Springer :) Like Sinead said...
