Why worry about the CFL's that will come? What about the bulbs we have right now?
I look up... I have 12' of fluorescent bulbs over my head. I look down the room... there's 7 fixtures per row. I look across the room... there's 20 rows.
That's 1680' of fluorescent tubes on this part, of this floor, of one office building.
Uh, No. The investigation resulted in a finding that they could not determine if a law was broken, because of Libby's lying. Which is kind of the point of perjury isn't it? To prevent people from finding out the truth and locking you up?
You want compatibility, save it in the "compatible" file format, whatever that is. You want interoperability, save it in the standard, interoperable file format.
When the IEEE802.5 network standard came out, there was an IBM proprietary version that already existed. You could buy hardware that could do both, but any one data packet was either in 802.5 format, or IBM format.
Well for one thing, you get the feature of not being able to do restores... thus not needing to do backups either! This saves an incredible amount of work and responsibility/pressure. Someone wants something... you say "Sorry! No Can Do! Have a Nice Day!"
The ability to restore seems to me to be a mission critical enterprise feature. Apparently a feature that Exchange completely fails to deliver. Perhaps you should upgrade to a system that works. Because I can just see the CEO appreciating needing to ask your most important customer to resend an important email because he accidently deleted it and it can't be restored. Really inspires confidence and a sense of pride in a job well done.
"Marriage" as far as the state is concerned has NOTHING to do with religion. Did you know that when you get married by your priest, that he has the same license to perform marriages that a Justice of the Peace does? That's right, you're getting civilly married by someone licensed by the state to perform civil marriages, and that's the only reason the state considers you to be married after that.
And for that reason I think you're right, marriage licenses and civil marriage should not be part of religious marriage and priests should not be licensed by the state to perform civil marriages.
Instead, if you want the benefit of a civil marriage to go along with your religious marriage, getting a marriage license and visiting the Justice of the Peace should be a separate step if you want all those benefits of "marriage" that everyone complains about: joint taxes, right to inherit, visitation rights, etc. etc. etc.
Right now, because every religious marriage includes a civil marriage pro bono, the religious think they own it.
No, this is not FUD. Forget gasses and liquids, this is about solids. Solids come in non-molecular chunks. Out bodies (and the bodies of every other living thing out there) are accustomed to encountering solids that are in fairly large sized chunks. If you can find a way to process those solids into much smaller chunks then you have a nano-material. This is the stuff that's dangerous. It's true of non-nano tech too. For example if I had a large piece of asbestos, that's not really dangerous, but if I pulverize it into dust it is. These new nano materials open up the possibility that alot more materials could be dangerous.
If I swallow a quarter,....it'll pass. What if I swallowed something that contained a quarter shredded into pieces no larger than 100nm, will that pass? Or will large amounts get trapped in various nooks and corners in my guts, and what effect will it have if those bits stay there for 30 years? What if I breathe it into my lungs? Will it do something like asbestos dust?
There was a specific requirement for a contact-less solution as they were concerned that any contact would potentially wear out after 10 years of frequent travel.
An unlicensed station is an unlicensed station. The airport's intentional radiator must accept interference from other unlicensed stations. The airport's station is no more, or less authorized than the airlines' stations.
I never agreed to that. Remember newspapers? I can read a newspaper without ever seeing an Ad anywhere but in my peripheral vision. You can't make me look. I won't look. I won't even let me browser fetch your ads. It's just wasted bandwidth for both of us anyway.
And possibly that alien would think that the TNOs were BY FAR the more interesting and useful things in orbit around the sun. After all they individually have small gravity and are not so far down in the Sun's gravity well either. Making them potentially useful resources that are efficiently accessed.
Ejections at near lightspeed are caused by the same gravitational slingshot effect that NASA used to send probes to the outer solar system. If an object in space passes by another object, they deflect each other's path. One option is that they crash into each other, another is achieving orbit, and yet another is just partial deflection. Momentum is transferred in any case. One case results in the smaller object leaving with more momentum than it arrived with.
You have heard of Artificial Light, right? Gravity and Light are things that our grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather could experience. Electric-magnetic fields... not so much, except as lightning or 'magic'.
Where have you been? Haven't heard about the Google subpoena? The DOJ is most certainly at this moment trying to demonstrate in court that porn blocking software doesn't work so that the Child Online Protection Act can be enforced.
You're not going to get upper management's support for a policy like this.
Excutives can't access your network and its file transfer solution from their laptop on a plane. They expect and NEED all the files that are referred to in emails, to be IN the mailbox that they have synchronized to their laptop.
Graylisting doesn't count. This is about managing your email address as an end-user. From that perspective, even bayesian filtering isn't great. Sure you don't have to read the junk, but you have to download it for your filters to be run.
The odd thing is this: I have one address that I carefully managed. I only gave it out to family and friends. I have another address that I use on all web forms, email lists, etc. Which one gets ALL the spam? My carefully managed address. The other one gets maybe 1 spam a month, and even then, it might be spam sent to a mail list that I'm subscribed to as opposed to directly sent to me.
Both addresses are at the same ISP, so I can't blame them. One is more susceptible to a dictionary 'attack', the other has punctuation. That's the only thing I can think that matters.
You don't understand how a paper trail works. In a nutshell: You vote on the machine. It prints a receipt that you can read. You verify that the machine & receipt both agree on your vote. You drop your receipt into a secure repository, e.g. an old fashioned ballot box.
Later, if there is any concern over the vote that triggers a recount, it is the secured receipts that are recounted, because there's no point in checking the machine a second time when it says that 10,000,000 votes were cast for Bush in a county with only 2,000 registered voters.

Here's my problem. Why should *I* pay more, so that *they* save money? E*filing should grant you a credit on your return, not a bill.
I don't read terms of use.
Besides, every GET that I send includes my terms.
What? They don't read them either?
Fleet vehicle maintenance is a different kettle of fish than personal vehicle maintenance.
You have 100 identical vehicles you can rebuild them when major failures happen by splicing vehicles together.
Have a fleet vehicle with a blown engine? You probably have another one with a cracked frame.
I knew someone would talk about mutation, that's why I didn't say that it was impossible, but nearly impossible.
But none of this means anything compared to genetic engineering. Which allows genes to be transplanted in ways that would never occur in nature.
How about: 'Their sole purpose is to protest technological "progress".'
I don't consider GMO to be progress, much like fluoroscopes weren't progress either.
That's like saying there's no difference between nailing a house together and whittling one from a block of wood. One is just "sped up".
Genetic engineering allows you to add things that would otherwise be nearly impossible to obtain from the organism's original genome.
Exactly.
You want compatibility, save it in the "compatible" file format, whatever that is.

When the IEEE802.5 network standard came out, there was an IBM proprietary version that already existed. You could buy hardware that could do both, but any one data packet was either in 802.5 format, or IBM format.
I fail to see how a truly open interoperable standard can possibly be backward compatible with a proprietary, closed, secret implementation.

Microsoft is also encouraging people not to buy PCs with a pre-installed copy of Windows.
After all, how can you be sure that's its legitimate. Better to buy a naked PC and take care of the OS yourself.
