That has nothing to do with the font; First off all it is not size they're talking about, if it is too small, just increase the size. And concerning the fact that it is blurry, it IS blurry but again, that has to do with the crappy quality of the picture in which the text is shown.
Pre-ignition happens before the normal ignition. It doesn't matter whether that normal ignition is with a spark or a laser, if You "jack up" the comporession ratio so that it will give pre-ignition, it is of no importance what kind of ignition there is.
I saw an interesting example of mosaicism in a medical journal. An infant was born with half male genitals, half female genitals. The most obvious explanation was that he/she was born of two embryos, one male, the other female, that combined at an early stage (but not too early) and formed a mosaic individual, with patches of male and female cells. Mosaicism actually is pretty common in biology. Sometimes you get patches of skin that vary between 2 colors. The later the embryo recombines, the bigger the patches are.
That has nothing to do with recombining of the embryo (don't know about the story You mention, there it can be an explanation, I am talking about the 2 color story, e.g. a cow or a dog, and mosaicism in general), the different patches exist because of mutations in one embryo. These mutated cells will divide just as the not mutated ones. And the sooner these mutations occur, the bigger the patches will be. And You don't need a stem cell or organ transplant to get mosaicism, You get it in the woomb.
Hopefully, some of the other parties will realise that people don't want to be monitored,
The big problem is that many people feel safe when there is monitoring going on and they want it that way. At least that way terrorism becomes impossible (please tell me it is so), and someone should think of the children as well, this monitoring garantuees their safety (please tell me it is so). And as they themselves have nothing to hide, they ask people who do make a fuss about it why they are making such a fuss about it. These people must have things they want to hide. OK, it is important that these data remain private, but when almost 400.000 people have gotten a thorough security training, security just CAN'T be bad, can it? "They" will most certainly know what they are doing, right?
That depends on the pill in question. Blood pressure meds, sure. Less so Viagra and birth control drugs.
IAAMD and I am sorry but You are completely wrong here. People don't care about blood pressure pills because they don't feel the negative effects of not taking them. If they weren't being paid for by insurance companies, many people would probably not buy them. Pills like Viagra on the other hand are immensely popular, even though nobody will admit taking them. And they are much more expensive then most blood pressure control pills. Fortunately I got a good offer the other day in my mailbox, much cheaper then normal. And that's good because I think that after my, also very cheap, penis enlargement I will need the double dose.
I am afraid not, the cells will just be digested in Your GI tract. When You are in position that You are in need of this kind of therapy, the injection will be the least of Your worries.
The reason that more people than ever are getting cancer is because people get older than ever and cancer still is a disease of old people, though there are unfortunately also young people who get it. But the risk increases with age.
Why would one want 30 framed per second?
If I were to mention a number, I would either want at least ~72 frames per second (where the eye/brain would have a hard time discerning between individual frames) or at least match the sync of an ordinary LCD screen at 60 fps. That is not usefull at all. 30 frames per second suffice to make the eye see something as "moving" instead of taking small steps, what You describe as "where the eye/brain would have a hard time discerning between individual frames". The reason that one sees flickering on a crt is that the phosphor dots "cool down" after being hit by the electron beam, the dots have to be hit time after time. To prevent this from giving a flickering screen, the frequency by which the pixels are "activated" has to have a certain minimum value (for many people 72 Hz is enough)(and nobody truly needs more than 640 Hz;-)). This has nothing to do with the brain discerning individual frames.
Furthermore, unless they figure out how to take away all of our camera cell phones, tiny solid state audio recorders, etc then we will continue to have vastly more power to document police corruption than we did just 10 years ago when you'd have to have a camcorder at hand, charged and with a tape in it, to capture anything.
There is no need for that, the ministry of truth will take care of it for You, I am sure of that. Now let's watch "Dancing on ice with the Stars"!
Quote "It encoded those audio books with a digital watermark and monitored online file sharing networks, only to find that pirated copies of its audio books had been made from physical CDs or DRM-encoded digital downloads whose anticopying protections were overridden."
Did I miss something, they encoded to trace but wait, they found that the CD's were ripped and the DRM encoded ones were overridden
well if then how did they trace it, nothing to trace on overridden encryption and nothing to track from a CD ripped.
I think You did miss someting. When it is said that the books were encoded with a digital watermark that does not main they were encrypted into some illegible group of bits (what does happen when You digitally sign something). A watermarked file will still be the same to the listener but it can be recognized/detected when found on some p2p network or in a binaries group (look for steganography in your favourite search engine). Later DRM was put on them, they were encrypted (and then they were illegible). When being decrypted (i.e. de-drm'ed) the still watermarked file shows up and that was being made available on file sharing media, being open to recognition.
If You watermark your product when You sell it to someone you can always trace back which customer put it on a file sharing network because You can use a unique watermark for each user (like someone else said, an email address and a name for example). It seems to be very difficult to create a watermarking systems that withstands re-encoding though, so if You would have bought an mp3 and recode it into another bitrate or format, the watermark will get damaged.
Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with an "open source project". It is more like:
1. Make something that is so-so.
2. Profit!
3. Let the people who pay a lot of money for this so-so product do work for You without paying them for it. These users will take Your product from the so-so stadium and turn it into a good product.
4. Even more Profit! without any costs.
Reminds me a bit of cddb... What the OP wants is something like Freedb.
"Yahoo! is our search strategy now. We've spent years trying to find a paper clip with a junkyard crane magnet, and we've failed."
I am sorry to correct You but they did not fail at all, on the contrary, the only thing they found when searching valuables were in fact tons of paperclips. The only solution for getting rid of the rubbish was giving every customer one for free along with their Office Suite.
Even the plant in Chernobyl which was being run in the least competent manner imaginable, was able to keep from reaching the really serious point where there's a sustained uncontrolled nuclear reaction.
IMHO the - IYHO obviously "not really serious" - point that was reached was enough of a disaster to me to dismiss this sort of energy.
If I had $100B I'd spend it on blackjack and hookers!
In fact, forget about blackjack.
No, better not forget about it, in the average/.-er's cellar playing a good game of cards will probably the most exciting part of their visit for them.
Somebody actually wrote a book on the things they don't like about Vista? Clippy: "I notice that you are writing things you should not be writing, would you like me to throw a chair at you?"
"The system is very responsive, using barely 480MB of memory after boot."
This still leaves 640-480=160 MB for Your applications. And when You use memmaker it might even be more, not even mentioning loading windows into Your UMB!

As far as I can see it is not about software upgrades but about the upgrade of the entire machine after 3 years.
we all know it'll only catch on if the porn industry start distributing on microSD as well.
They're in the middle of developing compact dicks for that purpose.
Microsoft's response will be to add autoinjectors loaded with Ritalin to their base operating system installs.
Unfortunately the drivers for these injectors don't seem to work well with the new driver model.
I am afraid not, the cells will just be digested in Your GI tract. When You are in position that You are in need of this kind of therapy, the injection will be the least of Your worries.

I think 640 observers would have been more like it...
Contrary to their vixens though...

...air pressure in the room is less than the pressure outside, so any leak would mean air flowing inwards rather than outwards.OK, I'm not an expert in biosecurity, but wouldn't the reduced air pressure in the room be accomplished by pumping air out of the room?
Off course the experts have thought of that and put the exhaust of the pumps right next to the leaks so the air will get sucked in again immediately.
