and yet, that is oen of my biggest pet-peeves of tab behaviour. I would rather go to the last-used tab then the right-most after closing the active tab, since my browsing habits usually have me opeingin articles in new tabs, reading them, then closing the tab. I would rather go to the last tab I had open, then to the most recently created, so that I can easily grab the next article I was looking for.
IE7 OTOH, just gets it completely bass-ackward, they go to the next tab to the right after you close a tab, which IMHO, is probably the worst tab behaviour of them all.
can we enlarge my penis now with this technique? The first time this happens, I predict federal funding of stem cell research to be approved by congress within 24 hours.
And I predict that due to your comment, we will now be seeing spam for penis enlargement stem cell pills by Monday..
I live in Ontario, and we have topless everywhere (yes, it's legal for women to go topless whenever they want) and lots of good, Canadian beer. Not so much with the grilled shrimp, but we do have grilled steak.
oh and our strippers take it all off too:D
Using the Dram Shop Law as a starting point: If someone buys content from a music store, and then goes on to illegally share that content, the music store (and by extension, the RIAA) is then held responsible for enabling the person to break the law. Go ahread RIAA sue me! if it weren't for you selling CDs, then I wouldn't have been tempted to infringe copyright!
For the most part, not very long. The process does a type of checksum on the drive; if the checksum matches, then it boots normally. if not, then the image is rewritten, either from another partition on the drive (similar to how OEMs used to put a partition on the HDD with the win98 CAB files so that a format/reinstall only took a few minutes), or from an image on the network. Either way, if it had to re-image the drive, it only took about five minutes usually. When I was in school, if we turned on a computer and it started re-imaging, we'd just go to another one though..
after you install XP on a machine, if the product key doesn't match up, you're given the activation process with which you can use the product key on the side of the machine to activate windows over the internet, or if you feel like talking to a person with an indian accent for an hour and a half, over the phone.
Wiretaps and data mining just aren't proactive enough, someone could still pull something off before they're caught. What we need is a DHS agent following each and every american citizen around 24/7 with weapons locked and loaded.
Try to do something now, citizens!
So if you're an agency that is researching ways to detect them or maybe to clean up after and you need samples of the radioactive material used in it to test your solutions, you should be arrested immediately?
Purchasing materials for a dirty bomb != making a dirty bomb.
Just on a side note: If you owned a website (I am the webmaster for three at my company), would you care more about your Nielsen rating or your Google rating?
Now now, saying a car can operate at 250km is a valid measurement. I had a car that had an operational distance of 100 continuous kilometers before the transmission overheated and crapped out, therefore, it could 'operate at less than 100km'.
So you're saying that you'd approve a purchase costing several million dollars, not only to buy the actual hardware, but in building a facility that the computer can operate in, in spending millions more in writing software to run on the system, even if you don't need it?
If so..I have some beautiful oceanfront property to sell you, it's on the east coast of Ohio
Personally, i'd be doing cost analyses, planning, consultations etc. to make absolutely sure that if my company bought that thing, that we'd be able to use it to an extent that no other, less expensive solution would be able to. We're not talking iPod's here, according to internetnews.com, the Blue Gene/L starts at $1.5M (probably USD). I think if a CTO buys one of these without making sure it'll turn a profit for their company, they'd not be the CTO for very long.
According to TFA, the uS DoE has an order in for one of these things, so a good 'practical' and eventually 'real' use is to number crunch the movement of energy throughout the US, since there are now people selling electricity back into the grid, there has been talk for several months about needing a system to monitor this. They may also use it to calculate the best routing for black/brownout areas or predict area that will be in need of more power in the near future and help the engineers place their generating stations.
While they may not all be 'real' right now (in fact i doubt most of the applications for a brand-new, not even delivered supercomputer would be in much more than a hypothetical planning stage), there are definitely many practical solutions that can be done with this.
Otherwise, why would so many companies spend billions of dollars researching and making these tings if no-one needed to buy them?
Uhmmmm...did they not just mention in the summary that they can use it to simulate super-complex things like oh...weather patterns? I'd say being able to more accurately predict when things like hurricanes will show up and how powerful they'll be would be a pretty important thing...
It's not so much the falling that's the problem, it's the stopping. You see, as long as the heat shields remain intact, they're in no danger while en route to terror firmer. The hitch comes when it's time to slow the weight down to a safe speed such that landing is not a fatal endeavor.
I don't see this so much as an 'electric tablecloth' concept rather an inlay for pressboard style tables (large conference room tables come to mind)..if these are manufactured to a standard spec, then all that needs to be done for each individual device is a receptor to take that power source and convert it into the voltage/ampereage necessary for that device.
Another neat use for it would be a mousepad for your wireless mouse to keep it charged all the time..just imagine, being able to game with a wireless mouse and not have to worry about batteries..
I'm definitely not an expert on the subject of planetary physics, however i do know that a major reason for Earth magetic field is the combination of the solid ferrous core with the molten ferrous mantle portions. With the mantle constantly moving around the core it creates a magnetic field (called the dynamo effect IIRC)
why are people mistaking ovulation for menstruation? the study does not say that photos were taken during their periods. The studay states that the two photos taken were the week before their period and about 2 weeks after when their tests showed that they were the least and most fertile for that cycle, respectively. They're not trying to show that women feel like crap during their periods, but that women subconsciously dress up a little more (or carry themselves differently) when they are more fertile compared to when they are less fertile; and that men are actually able to pick up on these changes more often than not.

uhmmm...online activation?
phone activation?
after you install XP on a machine, if the product key doesn't match up, you're given the activation process with which you can use the product key on the side of the machine to activate windows over the internet, or if you feel like talking to a person with an indian accent for an hour and a half, over the phone.
...So that we can spend an eternity installing Windows Updates

Just my $0.02.
conversely, in Windows, the start menu/taskbar can also be moved to any edge of the screen; albeit not as easily.

of course it can, it's one of the few computers in the world that can run Aero without lag :D

But does it run Linux?

if that were the case, you could sooo use that to score chicks :D
well, let's just put it this way: it's either we read this, or another article about Vista..take your pick
oh snap, i guess i better tell my wife and daughter that i'm not very familiar with women

Great, now there's going to be a slashdot article about how the US is planning to invade Canada..thanks
