I'm pretty sure GP meant "plant" with the meaning of "manufacturing facility". That would be water used in addition to any local farming they are doing.
What about Doppler Radar used in weather? A quick Wiki read indicates it is detecting a frequency shift to determine velocities. Rain certainly is not moving at a fraction of the speed of light.
I did a calculation one time about how much food we would have to stock for it to last the rest of our lives. It was entirely doable. If memory serves the cost for 20 years of food was something like $175,000 per person.
That is $23.97 a day, what the heck are you eating? I can have beer and smokes + eat like a king for that much. Also, even the camping / survivalist food is only good for about 10 years.
The only flame here is you. You put up false situations which I refuted. Texts are still not not necessary for the situations you described, so you bring forward a false dichotomy.
I stand by my words, and *no* they are not flamebait. Good day. Have a good one yourself.
So call them after school. They are going to have to wait no matter what, no need to call during class. This holds no water.
"Don't worry about me - I wasn't in the tower when it collapsed."
I can assure you that under a 911 situation (or any event big enough for the child to actually hear abou) the school would allow the children have a chance to make a call to their parents. This holds no water.
"Anthrax scare in the subway - I'm coming to pick you up"
This is a repeat of the previous. This would be large enough news that the children would be advised of this and given a chance to make calls. This holds no water.
"You left your homework home again, I'll meet you after 3rd period to drop it off - last time (right) I'm doing this"
I had a book bag and put my homework in that the night before. Pretty hard to forget the one item that contains everything (notebooks, etc) you need for the entire day. This holds no water.
Sorry, I'm not buying any of these excuses.

OK, thanks. I only work in C# the last few years, it handles all of this quite elegantly, but I do see your point now.

"...common to prohibit tab characters in code altogether."
This seems rather backward to me. Who cares if it looks different on my computer vs. another persons computer? I'm happy, the other person's happy. I've never worked at any place that would out-right ban tabs.
It sounds like someone simply has a holy-war going on there. I mean, seriously, why should it matter what another person is comfortable with? As long as each developer has the code in a format they are comfortable with (by setting tab widths), I would think that would result in an increase in productivity.
Forcing people to learn every weird pet format and have to work their brain around another persons preference seems like it would waste time. Very strange behavior IMHO.
I appear to have both. My "Local Link IPv6" starts with "fe80::34cb:18f0" etc , that does not appear to be a 2002 address. However, I also appear to have a tunnel adapter that starts with 2002 as you mention.
I'm using Vista, I am connected directly to my cable modem PDX area.
Thanks for the reply I might have learned something new today. I'm not a networking person. Does that mean I'm still in translation mode?
I also have an IPv4 address listed below the IPv6.
While the GPU will certainly parrellelize the drawing operations with its specialty hardware, the calling thread is going to have to wait / block for that to complete before doing a refresh.
The blocking portion of that goes back to being a serial operation (waiting for something else to complete), the software is just using the appropriate hardware for the task at hand. I'm don't think that really qualifies as "parrallel" in this case.
It is as most people would fear, only lobby groups got themselves exempted. A little google work converting the lumens to a unit most people understand (a given wattage bulb running at 120V) results in: (drum-roll please)
If it is between 25 watts and 150 watts.... Banned.
Gee, that does not cover very many consumer level incandescent bulbs at all. So glad it's not a big deal.
I sit using ballasted fluorescent bulbs most of the time, but I would rather have a tax on regular bulbs to discourage use, not an out-right ban. That sucks. Correction, it is downright stupid.
As to your last bit, I doubt they will allow these, since it is a vendetta + power-trip and lobbying behind this, so NO these will not be allowed.
Doing the math on those numbers, they don't even agree with each other.
1) 365days * 24hours * 60minutes * 60seconds = 31,536,000 seconds. Multiply by 3304 pounds per second = 104,194,944,000 pounds per year.
2) 263,013,699 pounds * 365 = 96,000,000,135 pounds per year. (Well, that's close... but wait...)
3) Since you used pounds, I will assume the short ton (the smallest 'ton' available) = 2,000 pounds * 1.5... So, 3000 pounds per person * 306 million persons in America = 918,000,000,000 pounds per year. Oops.
I'll admit that the smallest number equates to about 313 pounds per person per year for each American (less than 1 pound a day), bad numbers like that make me a bit suspicious of their methodology.
MPEG layer 3 is a technical description. Motion Picture Experts Group + layer 3, which was the 3rd iteration of the compression. Nothing wrong with that.
I was a Netscape user until the piece-of-poo version 7. Opera meant to me: A well orchestrated piece of quality performing software that was designed to be the sum greater than its pieces. Nothing wrong with that.
Outlook is a bit off, but really, since it also included a scheduler and email, it was a way to see "Out" to the world (email) and see "Out" to the future (schedule). Nothing wrong with that.
I'll give you DirectX and Winmodem (win-etc), though.
150k miles is pretty good for a VW engine. "Replacing" the engine in this case is probably a euphemism for "re-building". Keep in mind that these are air-cooled engines. When I had a VW, re-building the engine mostly consisted of new bearings, new jugs and pistons (fairly simple actually). The crankshaft, etc was usally fine and could go quite a bit longer. The million-mile VW is the whole car, but certainly not the engine.
The Type II Bus were lucky to get 80k miles on the engines, since the gearing was so low to power that size of vehicle, you really put a lot more wear on the engine per mile.
Clearly you've never dealt with Windows on Dell systems. They have to customize that install and reinstalling results in pain most of the time.
I have purely anecdotal evidence to the contrary (BTW your evidence is anecdotal as well:) )
I've seen people buy 50 computers at a time. Something works well with 9/10 out of a big box, but on 1 of them it is just completely screwed up. Using the restore disk fixes all the issues. I think it might be that QC has slipped at Dell, and for some reason, 1 out of 10 of the assembly lines didn't get updated to the proper mirror update?
Agree with the rest of your post about the crap-ware, but these were commercial customers that don't get the crap-ware in the first place.
I like the cut of your jib. I was raised Catholic, but am not a full follower. The only thing that keeps me spiritual is when I study physics, I think very similar (not exactly) to your line of thinking.
The laws of physics *IS* God by definition IMHO. (Although I am definitely not an ID person).
Last place I lived had one of those old *non* frost-free refrigerators with the freezer on the bottom. It didn't have the greatest seal either. I got so frustrated with it that I just duct-taped it closed and got a separate freezer to use instead.
. I had forgotten about the 15 lb turkey in there. Well, about 3 years later it finally bit the dust and the landlord had to replace it. It was placed at the back of the property by the trash / recycling area. Everyone kept wondering what that smell was out there for most of the summer. For whatever reason that fall the freezer got opened. There was an empty bag of bones left in the freezer. Apparently the insects had eaten well that summer.
Glad I never opened that in summer while it was somewhat smelly (sealed shut) out by the garbage area:)
The molecules of hydrogen are extremely small, and find even the tiniest holes to escape from, not to mention that it is quite corrosive and under a large amount of pressure.
Hydrocarbons are positively *HUGE* by comparison and (excepting LNG) at atmospheric pressures.

I did not RTFA but it seems to me that they have already started with this in 2009.

Maybe you should just get it repaired under warranty?
That took 30 seconds of google and I don't even own an iPhone. (I might be feeding a troll here)

Vellmont, with all due respect, if I were to work the numbers the way you present, it would only make the numbers work in my favor, not yours.
Don't take me wrong, I was merely pointing out the bad numbers presented in the other post, that is all.
I'm not a jerk.

I believe you might be thinking of "beyond a reasonable doubt" for criminal cases.
Civil cases are only "preponderance of evidence" when it comes to guilt. You still have to be shown to be guilty in both types.
