Even though with our technology I find that we should be able to. And that is why I'm frustrated about batteries.
Oh, we can. But as my electrochem professor put it, as you move towards better energy density you also move towards making what is essentially a bomb. And I don't think you'll be able to get that 30-hour laptop battery on an airplane...
But what's really interesting about this flute is that the harmonics are very close to a modern-day flute - 35,000 years later! There is a sample of the recreated sound right now on the New York Times website (permalink)...
I actually like the look of the solar panels on the roof...then again, I'm also the same person who thinks that the giant wind turbines actually improve the landscape of the Midwest.
I recently started playing around with Dropbox for some smaller folders than my entire home directory and haven't yet run into any major problems. And the versioning it provides is nice as well, and as a plus they don't consider the deleted files that they still retain versions of as part of the quota.
Standards compliant be damned if you can't render real pages.
I think that's the crux of the problem. If both the pages and browser were standards compliant this wouldn't be an issue, but alas, neither truly are. Especially the pages.
May as well teach them Excel macros and how to interact with Microsoft Clippy while you're at it.
Interesting that you mention that. When I took the undergraduate programming course for Chemical Engineers at my university, the class focused exclusively on Excel and VBA. That's it. And people in the class still had extensive trouble with it.
In an ideal sense I think you're right: an undergraduate in physics, chemistry, or engineering should be able to just take and extend concepts learned in any language to whatever their jobs required. In practice, though: have you met some of these undergraduates? While I firmly disagree with teaching to the lowest common denominator at any level, it's sometimes shocking to witness the difficulty they have even getting "Hello World" to run, let alone a simple N-R algorithm.
As long as the bundled software doesn't start to act like the ad-ridden "free" software that has come with any PC I've purchased in the last decade, I'll be happy.
It really depends on the region of the U.S., but where I'm from it goes like this:
Elementary: K-5
Middle: 6-8
High: 9-12
And then college if one is so inclined. School is mandatory from K-12 and grades are skipped only in unusual circumstances with the exception of 11-12, where some students may dual-enroll in community college and graduate with an AA at the same time as their high school diploma.
What's that old saying, again? "Kill 'em with kindness"?
And I really just have to ask: is there any proof at all that perpetrating the American Inquisition has actually helped the country or the world a single bit?
If it is worth paying for someone will pay for it.
Someone isn't enough...and if you can get it all for free, most people will not pay for it at all even if the content is good enough. If anything, having excellent content just means people get it from you even more.
He could have. But I don't know of many people who type into their Office application of choice rather than just their browser or a lightweight pad when posting.

...or, really, just the people who leave on the vendor-installed operating system and actually use the Lenovo software updates.

So I take it your external storage equipment "fell off the back of a truck"?

"Jack Bauer then turned around and resumed torture on a suspected terrorist by electrocuting him with wires from a broken lamp."
We love the nanny state when it protects us from ourselves, but we don't want them watching.
Hmm, don't find that I need protection from myself...
And just think of all the free money I could get for "emotional distress"!
Pack your bags, gentlemen, we're going to to Montana!

And both the latest Opera and Safari 4 already score 100/100...
Instructions? What average users ever follow those?
I can just see the euros pouring into Microsoft's account from the phone support charges...

Don't let this delude you into thinking that any and all forms of p2p are ethical.
Any forms? So, according to you, I'm unethical for using apt-p2p for my Ubuntu updates?

Instead these people are forced to stay 5-6 years doing highschool.
I hope you don't just mean grades 9-12....
I'm using 2008. Do I get a cookie?
Why oh why would you ever want to change interests? That's my whole problem with this debate whenever it comes up.
The real "solution" to this "problem" is to allow boys and girls to go into whatever field they so choose and encourage them no matter what.

is about like claiming you shouldn't be expected to read anything other than page 1 when reviewing a paper document.
Isn't that the standard in upper management?
For laptops? Yeah...though I guess that should technically say "active-matrix liquid crystal display".
