They also removed the "My Maps" feature where you can pull up maps you've saved under your account within the desktop interface. Sad day for me, I use this for trip-planning all the time.
I understand that you have to pay relating directly to your weight, but should that really be the only thing considered? It costs a flat rate for all the crew on board, regardless if they have 10 passengers or 200. Runway fees are the same regardless of the amount (or size of) the people on board. The amount of weight that the plane already carries never changes, only the cargo on board, so the cost of flying just an empty plane should be considered an overhead cost.
This system should be defined as a base rate plus a charge by the weight you add to the flight. Otherwise you get into the situation where you have a plane full of anorexic people, and the amount they paid doesn't even equal what it costs for the plane to fly empty.
An engineering degree is only good for checking your work. Mechanical design is purely a function of creativity, experience, and problem-solving.
Example: Any Joe Blow can design a clothes dryer (heater, blower, rotating drum). It takes an engineer to size that motor properly so that it dies 4 days after your warranty is up.
I see all these articles about assumptions that water cut this or formed that feature, but what is so inconceivable that it could have been some other liquid that did the same thing? Is there some inherent feature to water (H2O) that means it is the sole naturally-occurring liquid that could cause a feature like this? Or for that matter, what are the chances it could be an element which we've yet to discover?
Unless I'm mistaken, it seems that you're incorrect on your interpretation of that particular law. Unless, perhaps, you steal the pen from a government employee.
I wonder if everyone realizes that it wasn't Google that designed the packaging, but likely they just designed the artwork on the outside.
As for the box itself, it seems that a packaging engineer just got their fit between the two halves a little too tight... it's not like they put it in heat-welded clamshell packaging!
Simply ghost the drive after a full (clean) install, and have her save the important files to a specific directory that you can have task scheduler back up once/day or on bootup if she turns the machine off when she's not using it (my mother leaves hers on all the time).
If she screws something up, nuke the main drive/partition, throw the original image back over it, and everything is good again. Unless she gets something *extremely* militant, it should work perfectly.
They could easily do a flying mile competition there and not have to shut and public roadways down.
For those that don't know about One Lap, it's an automotive competition where they go from locations to location testing their vehicles in different ways. In the end, all the scores are added up and they are placed according to an average of all competitions. Web site -- http://www.onelapofamerica.com/
The one where those creatures (shaped just like these robots) hosted themselves in the human bodies and took them over completely? That is really scary looking.
On a side note, it is very cool that it can do it, but DAMN are they slow.
We have no size limitations as to attachments, therefore people send everything uncompressed here. I think last check I had an 11GB pst file.
Frankly when you're sending CAD drawings around, you're talking 5-25MB/drawing, and it can accumulate VERY quickly. Since I am in touch with so many different people (I'm an engineer that does his own Project Management), I can see upwards of 15 drawings/day at times. Even archiving doesn't help a whole lot since it renews so quickly.
The snails could have suvived the millions of years needed to the continents to have split apart. It seems the most logical explanation to me... not hitching a ride with birds over 5,000 miles of ocean, that is for sure.
I can't tell you how many times I have been sitting trying to run a couple of programs and the audio starts studdering like a pimply teen confronted by a supermodel. IMO, I would rather buy a generic $15 audio card then put up with my music only playing right when I'm not actually doing anything on my machine.
I bet you could immerse the pump in a tank of the radiator and drown out a good 98% of it's noise, though. Well, so long as either the pump is sealed, or the fluid used is non-electrically-conductive.
I was going to post the same thing, but I'll give you a MAJOR advantage of the US sizing system (A,B,C,D,E)...
Every single size sheet can fold down to an 8.5x11 size. This makes it VERY easy to keep a binder full of technical drawings.
I'm a draftsman/engineer by profession, so I use this a LOT. The main HQ of our company is based in Germany, so all of the drawings we get from them are all printed in US sizing so that they can all be bound and send in a complete binder.
The same ratio is nice for a few things, but the doubling the length of the long edge is MUCH more convienent for those of us that actually use large paper sizes in everyday life.

Simple enough, if your app knows what it needs to do, there is no need for "Full Network Access". I smell scam app.

Just goes to show you how much the credit card companies /really/ care about security.

I need to see some more of these "decision likes" so that I can determine the average IQ of my friends list... and maybe crop it a bit.

In my personal experience, the Marketing Manager who writes these types of memos tend to have the spelling and grammar level of a 5th grader.

Just 6 days ago they were going to be packing them up with DVD's in combo packages...

Maybe someone forgot to do the math before sending out that first press release.
STUNTS was a great driving game way back in the day... you could even create your own courses!

It doesn't take much of a scientist to see that it was cold.
On-board audio is damn good these days.
Bzzzzzt. How about no?!

Did they do the calculations in metric?

I read this yesterday morning when someone posted it on HardOCP's forums. Is Slashdot losing their touch? :-/
