But it still fits on one CD while Windows 7 with much less content somehow manages to fill a DVD.
A Windows 7 DVD might include "much less content" if you count applications/tools coming along with it. But it holds all versions of Windows 7 (which is just one version in reality, where the license key decides what features you can use, i.e. upgrading from Home Premium to Prof. required me to just enter the new key... no additional installation was required). This includes the Ultimate version with all of its included 35 languages you can switch between at runtime (and therefore the needed localisation resources).
ProFont is my font of choice for programming needs. It's small and it provides a "0" (zero) which is good to distinguish from a capital "O". Extra goodie for german speaking coders: it includes umlauts.
All the legacy IE6 users I've met tend to be government, non-technical corporates or extremely pro-Microsoft shops that bet the farm on IE6 and wrote everything in IE6/ActiveX fashion.
Here's another option for being forced to use IE6: still running W2K here. Unfortunately, MS decided "IE7 needs >= XP". So, until we replace our hardware, we can't upgrade to IE > 6 (which we would like to do, believe me, IE6 sucks hard). And no, we can't replace IE with another browser. 3rd party software requires IE in order to work.
You might ask "Why you're still on W2K?". Well, because at that time, XP offered nothing over W2K for us which would justify the amount of money and time needed to upgrade.
If the patient does not feel as if he is getting any better, he has the option of leaving, which helps to keep the doctors in line. I have done this myself to doctors that I feel are not helping me recover, but only hacking away at the branches and not striking ot the root of the problem.
My uncle was a doctor and had kind of the reversed problem: patients demanded to get prescription for medicament x, y and z, because they read that "it works very well". He often denied to give medication to people and instead gave the same advice as those norwegian doctors gave: "It's a cold. Stay at home for a couple of days, keep yourself warm, drink some tea." He lost quite some patients to doctors more willing to prescribe some meds that way.
I inherited this attitude. Like one poster above, I haven't been at a doctor for almost two decades. The only medication I do take, are some pain relievers, if my migraine plagues me again. Other than that, sleeping, keeping yourself warm, hot milk/lemon is all I need.
It's basically like an MRI but it is designed to pick up the specific resonant frequencies of nitrate-based compounds. Expect these systems to be deployed in the not-too-distant future,
And as soon as these systems are deployed, the wanna-be-terrorists will switch to carbon-based explosives. And if someone invents a "catch-all-explosives" device, they will resort to biological weapons.
It's pretty much like with the DRM stuff: the only people suffering from that are the innocent travellers.
Oh, to have mod points to mod you "-1 stupid".
Boycotting IS "an options". Don't buy crap. Period.
I agree with your advice in principal. However, the software industry (like the music and film industry) have invented a nice scapegoat to the whole "will not buy due to inferior quality" consumer stance. If we all don't buy the next "top title" due to its not-even-beta-quality, they go like: "See, we told you, so: Ebil piwates are robbing our money!"
Or we could just not steal a trillion dollars from U.S. citizens and let them spend it on what they want, and then have jobs that are actually in demand created..
You mean more fast food restaurants and hence jobs that earn so little, no one can make a living from?
Ever heard the stories of Catholics or Jehovah's Witnesses trying to leave? People sent to their house, ostracism etc.
In Germany, it requires as "much" as visiting your local distric court, stating "I want out", showing your ID and signing the form. Done. You're out. Didn't even took me five minutes to go from "Roman Catholic" to "no confession".
I understand your point, but IMO it's still no excuse for not answering the Question. In you example, I would answer question A like this: "I can build you a screwdriver if you really want, but a hammer would be would be a better option because cheaper, easier and quicker to build."
Sounds good... in theory. The answer *I* get to such an answer is most of the time: "Well, that's what I said. I asked for a hammer in the first place. Now, can you build me that screwdriver or not?"
Given the weird minds of marketeers these days, I really wouldn't be surprised if that "victim sueing Toyota for email ad campaign" is in reality part of that campaign. Because otherwise that ad wouldn't have made it to the frontpage(s).
"Suck it up" doesn't seem to be the right answer. There are a lot of countries, each with their own "ESRP" (FSK, in Germany, for example). Now, imagine all notices from all those organisations being shown on start up...
The problem is that I believe EVE-Online has a teen rating. However despite this teen rating there is no chat filter for content or language, the other day I cussed someone out in local for being a griefer using language most likely not appropriate for teenagers.
I find it more problematic that I, as a German EVE player, playing a game of a company from Iceland, who's (main) game servers are hosted in the U.K., am greeted each time I log in with an U.S. American content notice.
There are three other parties in Germany that share those aims you listed (free democrats, green party and left party).
And all but the left party (which didn't existed in that incarnation then) had pretty much forgotten about this. Remember wire taping (1996, FDP), "Otto Katalog I + II" (2001+2002, Grüne), just to name two examples? Of course, it might be coincidence that both of them discovered their civil rights roots about the same time the PIRATEN were formed. But, honestly, I doubt it.
Keep in mind, that in Germany parties get comepensated for their elections campaign from taxes. This is to prevent the situation that only the "rich ones" could make themselves prominent and get voted into parliament. Knowning that, you won't sponsor parties with the tax payer's money which openly admit to destroy that very society which is sponsoring them.
Also, don't underestimate the 2%. First, as already mentioned here, that's the most votes of the "did not make it into parliament" parties.
Second, this election was the first election for national parliament (Bundestag) the PIRATEN ever participated. Convincing 2% of the voters to cast their vote for them is an impressing result. For comparision: the nowadays well established Green Party received 1.2% on their first try.
And last, although 5% is the threshold for entering parliament, financial compensation for the election campaign starts earlier (0.5%, if I'm not mistaken). Money they can put into good use to stay "in the press" for the next four years.
Regardless of the reasons they want the number for [...]
They don't "want" that number. What you see in TFA is a standard (Passenger Name Record (PNR). Most flight bookings finally end up in a computer reservation system. The system this PNR's from is Amadeus. And yes, they include all the listed information. The older information mentioned most likely stems from his customer profile record in Amadeus.
The most simple geoengineering technique would be the most effective one: JUST PLANT TREES INSTEAD OF BURNING THEM
Just yesterday I saw a report where they did mention that marshs and swamps are 20% more effective in consuming/storing CO2 than plants covering the same size of area. We dried up a great deal of swamps over time. Perhaps it's also time to revive those areas. Depending on the situation on location, that might even be easier (and cheaper) than growing (new) forests.
A political party that exists solely to adress internet copyrights?
Isn't that a little bit shallow for leading a political movement? I mean what about the important topics?
I can't tell for our UK brethren, but for us in Germany data privacy protection and civil rights are core points of our agenda. Copyright might have started the pirate movement, but it's no longer its sole topic. And judging from the reactions and comments of representatives of the established parties in Germany over the last couple of weeks, we've touched quite a nerve there *smile*.
They do care. And all of a sudden all claim that "civil rights have been high on our agenda all the time". They are afraid of us. And if we can stimulate a reevaluation (or renaissance) of privacy protection and civil rights by those very people that were too eager to get rid off them to "save the children" or "fight the war on terror" for (almost) the last decade, than it's well worth the effort.

I don't think so. It's a matter of using available ADO objects/methods. ASP Classic:
Set the focus to any of these options and hit the F1 (aka "Help") key.

Agreed, EVE isn't a good substitude for Elite. Sounds like you were more looking for something like Jumpgate Evolution.

They didn't mention methane (or any other greenhouse gases that might be involved) so I honestly don't know.
