Microsoft fail? Good luck with that. They cannot fail; too much of business depends on Windows desktop/servers. If push came to shove, they would get bailout money. Not that they are anywhere close to neededing it....
Why is the parent modded informative? Oh because we hate Microsoft here....
You call that winter? Winter is breathing through your nose and having your snot freeze. Winter is going to work in the dark, and driving home in the dark. Winter is starting your gasoline car and having it sound like a diesel truck. You crazy american's wouldn't know winter if it punched you in the face.

I remember that story too. I remember feeling sorry for the frog. I imagine that it would feel like you were being electrocuted. That high of a magenetic field would likely induce funky currents in your nerves.
Let me refer you to the second sentence of the summary:
"The biggest change is leveraging Google's SSL search option to provide an anonymizing service which doesn't require you to trust either Google or GoogleSharing."
Why don't we just scrape some eggs into a beaker and then spray them with semen? Why do we have to go through some roundabout route to get the exact same thing. Sure the pro-lifers will say "Oh, you just killed a baby!", but think about it... We are trying to make stem cells identical to these cells. If we do get there, wouldn't those created cells have the same potential for life as the cells in the egg/semen beaker, but with MUCH MUCH more expense?
It seems a little crazy to me.
What is so wrong with it? It's a fact. Americans and the Taliban and fighting. Why hide the truth? Are we supposed to just pretend that Americans and the Taliban are "Super Best Friends"? I know, let's just ignore everything.
As someone who has played with software based labs, it doesn't compare to the real thing. It's one thing to click on two test tubes and have a thrid change color, but it entirely different to see the color change in real life as you add the reagents.
Science used to be cool because it was exciting. Small explosions, corrosive chemicals, and chemical reactions are cool, clicking some buttons on a computer program to simulate this is lame. If you want kids to like science, it needs to be (somewhat) dangerous. Schools should be encouraging thinking (ie. fire is hot so don't burn yourself, don't drink/touch hydrochloric acid, etc). If a few kids get hurt, well, hopefully they at least learned something, even if that something is that science can be dangerous.
Canada is a great country. We have lots of space, natural resources, and clean water. We have lots of land to work and play in. We have a banking system that didn't need massive bailouts. We are the number one supplier of Oil to the US, and supplied Uranium to create the first Atomic bomb. We are an energy superpower and the USA is addicted to our oil. Canada is only getting more powerful.
You are correct though that Canada is not a great contry, it is the greatest country in the world. Canada is safe, beautiful, clean, and rich.
Yeah, we get the Safeway Radio Network up here. It's not that bad actually; better than most terrestrial radio stations in the area. They play some 80's and 90's music. I have to admit, sometimes when I am picking up groceries, I am grooving in the isles.
Monkey see, Monkey do. I have noticed an increase in the amount of swearing that adults do too. I'm guessing also that parents aren't beating their children (spanking) or rinsing their mouth out (with liquid dish soap) as much either.
Do you really think that perconal income tax will have any affect on the hiring practices of a corporate entity? There is a think called corporate tax, and that is seperate from personal tax. Just because Steve is paying less taxes to the man, do you think that he will pay his gardener more? His maid? Mistress? I doubt it. In any case, I imagine that money will be funneled to offshore accounts which will provide no stimulus, but also no tax revenue either. The only stimulus outcome I see here is $100,000 to the lobbyists.
No they don't. The satellites that sit at a geo-stationary orbit are far enough out that they get sun almost 100% of the time. The earth is tilted, so much of the year they do get 100% sun. The closer satellites orbit with much shorter period, so they might only have to run on battery power for an hour or less.
When I was a kid, I dug a hole for fun. I didn't get paid anything, but it turned out to be a pretty big hole. It was about 6' across and maybe 4' deep. Despite my efforts, my hole had no value. In fact, it had negitave value, as the city came in one day to fill it. Moral of the story: The (w)hole analagy sucks.
Leftie here. I agree in that I think that it is interesting how lefties tend to use different hands for different things. Here are my stats:
Left Hand: Writing, Throwing, Scissors, Snowboarding (Goofy, not really hand related... but still), Anything that requires fine motor movement (Picking up very small objects, soldering, etc), driving.
Right Hand: Golf, Batting, Mousing, Hockey, Frisbee, wiping (both my ass and when cleaning surfaces)
No Preference: Shooting, Catching, Picking up normal objects, Cutlery usage
Question: How has going to school made you money? I would like to send my wife to back to school, but I'm not sure how we would be able to afford it. Any tips would be appreciated!
Do you really think that would have made a difference? There are literally thousands or oil rigs in the Gulf right now. Having a 6 month hold on new drilling was nothing more than a PR stunt.

Oh, I think so Brain... But where can we find a pastry shop open at this time of night?
Probably the same reason that if you proposition a hooker that turns out to be a cop it's not attempted prostitution.

I didn't read the post title... I thought that this comment was referring to the part where you can enter a pin to make the mag strip work. My bad...
Why could it not be changed? Chip and pin cards store the pin on the chip, and they can be changed.
