I know there's a kink in the volume/temp graph for water at 4C or so, but doesn't this point to an increase in the temperature of the oceans in general, which would presumably then increase its volume by a reasonable amount?
All I'm saying is, if we lose Venice I'm going to be very annoyed with all you carbon overproducers.
I just had to set up a new email address for an acquaintance with pretty serious cancer, because she's using the Interweb a lot at the moment and was being made physically sick by some of the material she's been getting.
If you sent this spam in print form to someone, adult or child, you'd be up in front of a judge in no time. The same should be true for email. I have nothing against pornography, but I do have a problem with thousands of people being forced to view it against their will so that some spammer can make a fraction of a cent per unwilling viewer.
You don't have to start using the Euro, you know, you can always just stay dollar-linked. After all, why would you need control over your own currency? I'm sure the US will look out for your interests when things get tough, just like they did for Argentina.
They use a similar system in the Da'il (our Parliament) and the counting PC got SQL Slammer, because they'd left it on the Internet-connected network.
Of course, this should have rendered any vote counted while the machine was on the network null and void, but the media dropped the ball and the opposition parties weren't IT-savvy enough to realise what a big deal they could have made of it.
No, what really happened was that there was a really low turnout for the first one, mostly the more strident of the No voters. The next time, No got about the same amount of votes, but there was a higher turnout of the previously apathetic, who mostly voted Yes. It's analogous to the Le Pen vote in France there a while back - basically the less politically inclined getting a chance to stop extremists setting policy.
There were also a couple of US parasite fighters slung off bombers and airships in the 30s. And there were a few Russian air-launch spacecraft projects, though I can't remember any names at the moment.
Your second point is a bit stupid. I've been going out with my girlfriend for >8 years, and living with her for >5, and she's spent a term in Europe (in the first year) and a summer in Canada (in the third), both without me, and it didn't cause so much as a wobble in our relationship. Not every unmarried relationship is trivial.
Preprocessing pages and serving static html is one way of coping with high CPU loads incurred by having a popular dynamic site. So as in everything, the best path is the middle path. Or so my teacher Steven Seagal tells me.
According to a not-a-camgirl-really-your-honour acquaintance, the only lighting she uses is an A4 sheet of paper to bounce some light up from under her face. She probably regrets telling me this, however, as I now have a recurring item in my calendar to tease her about it fortnightly.
I'd guess coz it would add too much to development costs for only limited returns. The rest of the world uses GSM, and the rest of the world is a far bigger market for phones than the US (partly because of the fragmented nature of US networks).
If you're doing security audits you should be aware that VMS's security and permissions model is significantly different to the average UNIX . It's got proper ACLs, extremely detailed process privileges and quotas (from disk space to page files), installed images, and more I can't remember off the top of my head. So it might be worthwhile hitting the manuals at http://www.openvms.compaq.com/ . The system security manual would be a good place to start.
However, development-wise, the DECWindows debugger is quite good, as are the compilers (though watch out for symbol name lengths on older DEC C compilers).
When it comes to learning one's way around a new OS in general, I've either muddled through over a period of weeks or volunteered ^_^ a mentor onsite and pestered them with hopefully intelligent questions. (Nothing you can find out from the online HELP, in other words.)
Ballistic ones do, but also need minor corrections during flight. And the first cruise missiles were the German V-1s, and were mechanically simple devices (a pulsejet, a gyroscope and some electromechanical bits and pieces). Their control logic, such as it was, is well within the reach of a a good 2nd-year CSer.
GPS would improve both types immensely, as in the first they could provide feedback to maintain the proper ballistic (arc) trajectory, and in the second they could just say "stop flying...NOW!".
Err, I wasn't arguing for quotas, but against them and for root causes:
"There should definitely be efforts to address the causes of such imbalances (rather than just the symptoms, which is what, say, 50/50 quotas do)"
As for meritocracy, the word was invented by Michael Young. The first link I found on Google (which is an obituary - I didn't realise he was dead!) has a pretty good explanation of what he meant by it.
If people are capable but not interested, then you have to ask why. For example, it's been my experience that traditional gender roles are pushed pretty strongly in schools, and that can't help.
Also, I very much doubt we're hardwired for any particular skill that doesn't involve throwing rocks at antelopes etc. It's silly to argue for nature over nurture when you're talking about skillsets that have only been around or important for centuries or decades. You may also be selling yourself short on the painting front, unless you mean successful in the Picasso sense.
(Also, I love the fact that meritocracy has become a positive concept- and without too much analysis of what it actually implies - when it was originally meant as a negative one.)
Women are just as capable of doing science as men, therefore if there's a huge difference in the ratio of male to female scientists, there's an imbalance of some sort going on, and a waste of a lot of potential.
There should definitely be efforts to address the causes of such imbalances (rather than just the symptoms, which is what, say, 50/50 quotas do). It may not work out exactly 50/50 at any one time, but it should surely be better than about 10 in 85.

Which is also the reason a lot of hunters and marksmen wear amber glasses. Better resolution through the gravy lens.

Does this means that phones now have to display which exchange they're using?
Capitalist.
Wait - I think I heard about you! One testicle, 20-seconds-to-ejaculation, right? Did you ever do anything about the psoriasis?

Why did they change the name from Scrapheap Challenge to Junkyard Wars, I wonder. Junkyard I can understand, it's a localisation thing. But why Wars?
And why did they drop Kryten? He was deadly!
Hospitals shouldn't be considered valid targets in the first place.

Considering the fact that there are precious few female respondents, one thing that needs to be fixed is an apparent gender imbalance in science.
Does that mean they've fixed the sound-related bug that makes the latest versions of the players essentially useless on Linux?
