Yes there is, it's light comprising a blend of all colors in the visible spectrum in equal proportions. It is technically accurate to say that white light is achromatic, but it is just plain retarded to say there's no such thing as white light.
Are you referring to the toga praetexta, the toga pulla, toga picta, or a variation of the toga trabea, and as worn by men, women, citizens, freedmen, plebeians, patricians, quirites, priests, members of the Senate, or some other group?
Actually, I'm gonna go with "not knowing what you're talking about".
With the possibly exception of McCullough's Masters of Rome series\, The Baroque Cycle is the greatest series of novels I've ever read. I loved them from start to finish.
Well hey, lets just get rid of microwave ovens, radio stations, television signals and police radios.
You're thinking too small.

I'm working on a project that requires quite a bit of photo editing and creativity, and unfortunately our workstations are locked down and we don't have software or storage space available for such projects.
So your workplace doesn't provide you with the tools you need to do work?
Sheesh, these stories are variations on a theme of Frog Not Wanting To Get Out Of The Boiling Water.
Simple solution: Don't bring your personal computer or electronic devices to work. If your company's security is such that company property disappears, then that is the company's problem.
Quoted for great justice.
Company gear, company premises, company's obligation to secure it. if I came in to work tomorrow morning and my desktop computer and monitor were gone, I'd inform our IT manager and tell him to call me when they have been found or replaced.
Seriously, if you're not working for yourself, why on earth would you take your OWN laptop into a place of business? That's retarded.
Growing up in the 70's I scoured every library of every place I moved to for Asimov,Clarke and Heinlein and read their books many times over. Now they're all gone and I feel sad, like the last of a special group of friends is gone.

Yellow, becuase your eye is built to see the light of the sun
This will evidently come as a surprise to you, but the light of the sun is WHITE. That's why we call it "white light".
They basically took the best parts of Evercrack, UO, and D20 systems and made a pretty game out of it. End of article.
Way to miss the point, genius. The article wasn't about WoW, it was about Blizzard's internal policies and processes.
Is how long I have had my yahoo account. If microsoft takes it over I will stop using it and have it deleted.
I think Vice-President Cheney summed it up best when he said:
"So?"
The market is steadily moving towards laptops. And laptops are harder to custom-build.
Not only that; people want to see, touch, and hold laptops before making a purchase decision.
I'll leave the conclusion up to the reader.

One word, "reading comprehension"
With the possibly exception of McCullough's Masters of Rome series\, The Baroque Cycle is the greatest series of novels I've ever read. I loved them from start to finish.
You forgot to criticize the fact that he has 18th-century characters making Monty Python jokes.
In my experience (and I use both interfaces quite a bit) USB 2.0 doesn't compare in terms of reliability and speed with Firewire 400.
My top five reasons why the GIMP is unusable:
1. The user interface.
2. 8-bit color only.
3. No CMYK support.
4. Half-assed implementation of layers.
5. The user interface.

I imagine that the relationship between the two parties in government is something like this.
Republicans: oops, we destroyed the hard disks. Sorry.
Democrats: You're covering up evidence of crime!
Republicans: Yeah, maybe we are. And what are you going to do about it, bitches? Nothing. So shut the f*ck up.
Democrats: okay...
Barack may be a closet Muslim

Apple allows people to directly reject Microsoft
If anything, my adoption of Macs for day-to-day tasks has turned me off Linux, not Windows.

I hate "me too" posts.
But... me too.

depth of field is refraction (through a lens between the viewpoint and the image)
No it's not. Depth of field is a function of aperture, and has nothing to do with either lenses or refraction.
Very true, I realised that 2 seconds after posting :)
If pi is a non-recurring infinitely-long sequence of digits, then a string representing EVERY number occurs naturally within pi... somewhere.
Therefore all information that can be expressed as ones and zeros occurs within nature.
