As usual, the answer is "Money." By making the first e-ditions butt ugly, they hope to sell prettified second e-ditions to the same buyer at a later date, for even more profit. One more reason to just read the PD-old classics instead.
It's been two hours since the OP. LEOs read/. too, so if he's still not heard from the locals, he should now be more concerned about less scrupulous visitors. He should hide, find a lawyer, and explain only that he has a tip to be passed along anonymously. At this point the truth is already going to come out, he just needs to survive until it does without digging his hole any deeper.
No, only when the wave function collapses have you made an observation. I can't understand why this is so frequently stated backwards. The collapse is the observation.
To paraphrase, a tree only falls in the forest once someone sees it lying on the ground.
10 100 watts lights would burn 1Kw an hour. that's 720Kw a month. Which will be less then 100 bucks in most places.
Well no, they would burn at 1kW, during however many hours they were on, for a maximum of 720kWh a month. But who said he only had 10? For $400 at a typical $0.10/kWh, he's going through a total of 4000 kWh/month, or a mean power of 5.6 kW. So that's 56 x 100 W bulbs going 24x7.
1. Interlibrary loans were the original internet. The advent of http://worldcat.org/ only made them better.
2. What kind of clown still buys dead trees simply for a one-time read? (Yeah, me too...)
3. Since when are DRM files necessarily permanent? By making them time out, any need or justification for tracking who they were issued to is nullified.
QNX could be a better tool than *nix, if it was truly open. Perhaps RIM will see reason and liberate it to attract devs. Imagine fusing QNX with the best of linux...
"when you want to sit down and stream a show from your pad to your home TV" ? I don't "want" to stream it, I just want it to "be" there. If it doesn't create content locally, why use it in the pipe to the TV?
Clearly this is a guerilla marketing ploy by RealNetworks. By utilizing the Streisand effect, they hope to boost the offerings of content in their proprietary formats. That can only help them sell their lame tools, which otherwise nobody buys anymore. Perhaps they're desperate, but it's still clever. The interesting question is whether the Dutch courts will eventually punish them for their attempt to hijack judicial process. Oddly, neither http://eff.org/ nor http://edri.org/ seem to have anything to say about the case.
No, your buddy's doc prescribed them to him. You scanned it when he wasn't looking and "improved" the address on it before forwarding to a less-than-fussy Nigerian e-pharmacy with a Canadian website. They filled it with facimile products and dropshipped it via Hong Kong by courier to avoid US Postal police. You sell it to anonymous clients on the streetcorner. Everyone profits!
Advertising works, or nobody would pay for it, and you wouldn't have google to use.
That is why gypsum drywall is used, right? As a fire tries to heat it, the captive water is evolved out as steam. With some luck, it slows the fire's spread long enough that you get out of the building.
L1, L2, and L3 are all unstable (which is why I never understood the push to put a refuelling depot at Earth-Moon L2). Only L4 and L5 are stable.
When you pull off the freeway for refuelling, you want to do it at the top of a hill, not the bottom: it wastes less energy (and reaction mass in our case). Yes, you have to stationkeep at the hilltop, but that's cheap in comparison. Question for the orbital mechanics in the house: what potential energy difference takes a kg from L5 up to L2 anyhow? "Inquiring minds want to know".
Well, no, it's actually a terrible idea.
The right place for datacentres is where there is a constant large demand for low-grade heat, such as you get when prewarming a cold industrial feedstock. Think oil sands mines and their bitumen upgraders - they've got a year-round supply of ore at low temperature that must be warmed up. Rather than just burn fuel to do this, use the DC's waste heat to pre-warm it, reducing fuel use. Physical security is way easier in such places, they have to have it anyhow.
Cheap to replace? Depends what it costs to dispatch the repairdroid to where the fan is located, doesn't it? If it's in a hard to reach place, reliability matters irrespective of the purchase price.

If your goal is world-domination, sure. In that case you'll need a moon-base and a giant freakin' laser to go with it.
OTOH, what good's a giant freakin' laser going to be without a lunar shark to point it?

...woman's level of education is negatively correlated to the number of children she has.
Correlation is not causality. Do children cause their mothers to drop out, or does dropping out cause maternity?
