Misinterpretation, distrust and disbelief are a fact of life. It's all over the internet...
But if newspapers believe they are in competition with the average blog, then encyclopedias are in competition with Harry Potter. Not true.
And putting all quality newspapers behind a paid registration together with the peer-reviewed scientific articles means that all the crap is out there for free, and you got to pay for all the quality information. Bad move.
It should have said: "If you're in the market for a new job in the US, Fortune has just published its list of 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2010 in the US.
But can't you buy in-game items in WoW? (I obviously never played the game). Is there no added value for Blizzard if players play a lot, other than that they will most likely pay next month's subscription fee?
The one with the bar has a more rigid frame, and is therefore a better bike. The more rigid the frame is, the more efficient the transfer of energy onto the asphalt (you waste less energy bending your frame).
Women occasionally wear a dress, which is why an adaptation to the optimal design was made. Unfortunately, this means they waste slightly more energy (both due to wind resistance that lifts their dress/skirt and because of the slightly less rigid frame).
If you occasionally hit your balls on that bar, you shouldn't be biking at all (or register for the Darwin Awards straight away). I bike every day, for the last 25 yrs, always on one of those with the bar, and I never hit my balls on it. Ever.
Even Monsanto wouldn't be so stupid to wipe out their own customers and their own employees, right?
I still believe that the governments must protect: 1. the use of GMO should be explicitely mentioned on any product. 2. any government has the obligation to protect its citizens - through control, regulation, and if necessary, closure of businesses.
If you want to build a wall around the USA, fine. We'll gladly help you...
If you don't mind, I'll stay on the other side. The free side. The "dangerous" side. Amsterdam.
You know, the "dangerous" side is quite pretty now. It's been snowing, and the canals are freezing up. Maybe we will skate on the canals next week... but oh, you don't care, you'd rather stop all direct traffic between the Netherlands and the USA. Too bad for you;-)
In the early days when roads were invented, they were winding romantic sand paths through lush forests, over hills and through valleys, following the path of the creek.
Now, 6-lane highways cut through mountains - but hey, they can get you from A to B in less than no time.
If you like to make an original website, this is still possible. You CAN still have your own site, do all the html yourself. Alternatively, you can also spend less than 10 minutes to get your blog online, or less than 15 to have a photo album online.
Thing is - where the masses previously had no websites, they now have a facebook account... which is equally empty as no website at all. But internet did not lose anything - it just didn't gain anything either.
Yes. You are a typical American. A misinformed gunslinging person. Please don't interfere with international politics.
You like guns, and typically you prefer to win the battle just by having a bigger one than the other guys. All fine until the pirates are lucky and capture your boat with the 120mm twin cannon and cruise missiles. Then what? Oh, that's right. America always has a bigger one.
Also, the crews of all boats, also American, are kept on their own ships. Those guys are in it for the money, not religion. Nobody gets beheaded. Stop listening to FOX news.
In a similar move, the train manufacturers asked the electricity companies to abruptly change the voltage delivered to the tracks, so that the train companies can only buy their trains.
SUV manufacturers asked the road workers to build a 30 cm high bump along the center of all the lanes - so that consumers must buy an SUV to drive on the roads.
I'd almost call this sabotage...
And whatever this does - every penny spent on it should NEVER count as economic growth. From a consumer's point of view, this is wasted money. Instead of improving a service, they try to destroy one.
Rather than having proper Snakes On A Plane, NASA investigated the concept, did a risk assessment, ran some simulations, modeled it, tested it in a swimming pool, and then decided that it was better to have Microscopic Worms On A Space Station.
I was going to make more jokes about Worms Armageddon, but I think I'm done. Hope they left their banana bombs in Florida.
I often turn the washing machine and dryer on just when I leave the house.
In addition, internet providers can already collect this kind of info. Many people only have their computers on when they're home. Didn't really cause much of a privacy problem, did it?
I'm aware that privacy is a huge issue nowadays... but smart grids happens to be one thing that I value so high that I am willing to give up a little privacy for it.

Welcome to the Age of Information.
I bet that one day we'll even be able to communicate with each other through this new invention.
What, you can't design and build a simple rocket within 4 years?
Come on, this is 2010 - surely we can design rockets a lot faster than in 1969...
[/sarcasm]
Can't wait until we all start spending loads of money on space programs again.
I believe that it's all money well spent.
It should have said:

On their own website, SAS admit this is only valid in the US.

I wonder how many holidays US-employees get, how flexible their hours are, how good their coffee is and how much they get paid.
About the FBI:
As an organisation, they are the good guys.
But does that guarantee that each and every one of their employees (or agents) is a good guy?
That's why it's worrying they can get warrants with a post-it, or don't need to crack your passwords.
Hmm, yes... excellent point.
But can't you buy in-game items in WoW? (I obviously never played the game). Is there no added value for Blizzard if players play a lot, other than that they will most likely pay next month's subscription fee?

For anyone under 16-18, this would be GOOD.
Ok, the kids will hate Blizzard for it... but it might actually decrease the amount of time spent online, and improve school results.
Working people or anyone who keeps work and gaming separated need not fear. Your boss doesn't know your WoW character, does he?
However, it is surprising that a company would try to motivate players to play less...
Even Monsanto wouldn't be so stupid to wipe out their own customers and their own employees, right?

Oh dear. 90% of the people reading this are probably at work.
Of course! :)
I wouldn't dream of opening Slashdot at home. I have other distractions there.

Natrium is called SODIUM in English. (Not sure, but I think that English is the only language that does not use the word "natrium" for Na).
And it might not be able to form the components that you need for the battery (it's not pure lithium).
Read more here.

Also, if it would work, sodium is much heavier than lithium.
Suddenly sounds like they are all bankers to me.
... with the oil prices going up again as soon as this crisis is over...
Patenting something that you will only sell to thieves doesn't sound like a smart thing to do.
-Apologies if this goes off topic-

You must be American.
The answer to your question in the civilized world is: "Because only army and police carry guns".
Imagine what happens if the pirates capture a large vessel that actually DOES have that 35mm AP thing mounted.
the major benefit of having an air cannon with nets is that it will stop a small fishing boat, but will never hurt a 200 m tanker.
But 35mm shells WILL hurt that tanker.

Not really a problem, right?

It'll accept 8 crashes before it finally dies the 9th time.
Bad teaching is not new - but since the powerpoint thingy is new, they teach badly in a new way.
