I never said how far it travels, but I would assume that for audible sound, it would lay somewhere between a few inches, and a few meters for human voice, scaling up or down for louder and quieter noise creation.
If you think space is a pure vacuum, and thus no sound at all is possible, I suggest you remember where you are typing this from.
Indeed, im not sure about all these -iums, which are no doubt toxic to us anyways... but zinc and copper is pretty easy to recycle, and in a decade, we might not need the -iums we (dont really) need now...
Especially if we upgrade all the phone and cable lines to optical, and recycle those trillion miles of copper, and as we move away from coin money (another debate unto itself) there's also that (both copper and zinc), replacing copper pipes with plastic, etc, etc, etc... although, all that plastic is also another debate.
well, I was using particle ambiguously as in pretty much anything, not specifically as a piece of dust, or something somewhat "large", but anything that isn't a vacuum (atoms, molecules, etc)
Astronomers have detected the deepest note ever generated in the cosmos, a B-flat flying through space like a ripple on an invisible pond. No human will actually hear the note, because it is 57 octaves below the keys in the middle of a piano.
Sound travels, there just isn't enough pressure for our ears to hear it at any distance, I would imagine that even screaming right next to eachother would probably only make it a few feet before becoming inaudible and dropping down like the "57 octaves below..." I doubt that the sound actually started that low, but who knows...
Animals (which includes us, and likely the aliens) can't... machines can, sound travels basically the same "out there" as it does in here, its just there isnt enough particles to produce a wave large enough for our ears to detect...but anyways, assuming that aliens are listening, would generally imply they had the technology to do so, rather than just sticking an ear out.
Private Investigator... It's just a sane person wouldn't have ever come to that conclusion. It is generally private and it often involves investigation, especially on the repair side, but a PI license?
I'm assuming that the so-called "reasoning" behind it is that your average PC contains private data, that could be incriminating in some way, so PC repair shops should have to have some form of non-disclosure, or "doctor patient" sort of contract, as well as a liability if said information leaks out... which I can understand, however, I don't agree with it, its your choice wether you want your neighbourhood geek to fix your PC, or to go to the local [whatever] who no doubt does have some 'protective' features for such data, and accountability (depending on where you live)... however it may even be for more suspicious reasons, I'm not a PI, but for all I know maybe there is some sort of way that if you are a PI, then you can be forced to disclose information about your clients and whats contained on their PC, that way they can know who all the repair shops/guys are, and can quickly sift through them hunting for [insert something], whereas as a notmal civilian, or small company, you may not have to, and cannot be forced to do such a thing.
That's what my point was, it already does what I thought the AC wanted (searching the URL), hence in my first post "Bullshit, if they did that, then you'd come back and bitch that it doesn't search thoroughly enough." As it seemed he didnt want it to search anything else.
So I then mentioned that just assume that a result where the only matches are in the Title of the pages, as a "not found"
Then mentioned the normal search, just incase that's what they meant.
So... someone/thing creates the next stage in the lust for the perfect sphere, and suddenly every other sphere in existance is upgraded to this new standard?
Damn right they can complain, if anything it gives them more of an excuse - "I oh fuck that, i coulda made that shot if the ball was a ______"
I highly doubt more than one person would pay some $500,000,000 or whatever for a set of pool balls made in the same fashion as these were.
I'm aware of that, what I meant was I hope they release revisions soon, forget about 3.1 which is months away, where is 3.02 or something...
IMHO, they fucked up with 2.0 because between 2.0 and 2.0.14 was...nothing, each patch fixed some, made an equivalent amount of new bugs.
I completely forgot about Firefox once it became Firefox, I was hopeful about 2.0 but, that was a letdown to the point where I didnt even bother installing it half the time.
3.0 looks promising, but it's got a lot to do before it drags me away from Opera now.
6 months isn't "quick", its only the Alpha in a month...that's about normal for most smaller software, especially for a point (*.1) update, this isn't Firefox 4.0.
Hell, Opera released 9.51 RC1 (now on RC2) just a few days after 9.5...
Its pretty normal as far as I see it, and I'm glad they are (or seem to be) returning to a more consistent release schedule, it may eventually become my default browser again, which it hasn't been since Phoenix.
Maybe, but at least I'm not walking around covered in my own shit.
What i was saying is, that it searches both the URL, and the Title already, so if its return a result that matches in the Title, but not the URL, then so what, count that as "not found"
It's a little late to be bitching about past web browsers, take or leave it, or get an add-on...
However since neither you, nor the original AC was very exacting in your request, I will once again assume that the AC was referring to the actual "search" rather than auto-complete type search, which, I don't remember what it does in FF2, and in FF3 seems to be uncontrollably auto-matic.
So perhaps you should sift through about:config while you are frantically typing things into the "Awesome Bar"... and find: browser.search.searchEnginesURL among a few others which should tame down your uneventful queries.
Opera, on the other hand, seems to be far more configurable, in that you can define what search engine to use for the Addressbar, what search engine to use for the SpeedDial input, as well associating keywords/letters for different search engines, for instance "w Slashdot" in mine will automatically search Wikipedia for an article about Slashdot, "t Slashdot" will search PirateBay for 'Slashdot', etc...im sure this is possible in Firefox, but probably not without an add-on.
and by the way, type opera:config into the address bar to get to something similar but more friendly type of config similar to Firefox's about:config
Thats "kinda nice" in theory, but only as an Opt-In, and I can't see very many people liking it.
Especially not those still on Dial-Up, or slow DSL, having half or more of their bandwidth helping "other people"... I shouldnt have to build a porch for my neighbours, simply because I already built my own.
Plus, I imagine security would become an issue, anyone with a web-browser could potentially find out what you have been browsing since the last time the cache was cleared, or even much longer considering something has to tell the new clients that "hey this guy was there once too"... right now its generic "he visited www.xxx.com", but having a BT-Linked network, means they would know each page you visited, if you opened/expanded an image or pop-up, etc...
Would also be quite curious, during say a fairly large power-outage that knocks out a couple main HUBs/ISPs... watching the internet frantically attacking (spamming?) anyone that might have a cache of the sites that are now down potentially creating an even larger problem.
The registry is probably one of the best things about Windows, its just been poorly handled by both Microsoft and third-party developers.
Having *.ini or *.xml sort of files held within the program directory (or similar) is handy for things like grabbing the whole folder and tossing it onto another drive and having it still run, but if you lose that folder, you lose the settings, but if the application knows to look in HKCU/Software/AppName/* then that same program folder can be tossed around all over the place.
Without the registry, you also have to manually hunt out the settings files and back them up, or transplant them for each application, but you can import and export the settings for hundreds of apps at a time with the registry.
The main problem with the registry as I see it, is that those main branches are rarely definable in software, for instance you could create your own Groups, and tell the application to put its settings in there, then you always know where your Group/X settings are going to be... and when an application that has moved launches, the application should simply be say "Unable to locate settings" then have a browse-for-registry dialog: Group/X/App... [OK]...
Granted, there are draw backs, such as corruption, where it may wipe-out the settings for all your apps at once, instead of just a lost INI file for one app, but I haven't had my registry get corrupted in...uh...hmm... never.
The moon is closer, cheaper, wasn't very well investigated, is essentially stationary, and has a far more direct correlation with Earth. We shouldn't have ever stopped going, and just skipped that whole bullshit with Vietnam.
Its the perfect platform for a lot of things, some for immediate results, others as practice, and future results. I don't think anyone is really that worried about the Planet suddenly becoming inhabitable, Mars isnt going anywhere and we already have a signifigant amount of bots and scopes investigating it.

So Unless you are some encyclopedia of theorems and proofs, you will have to look it all up anyways.
I never said how far it travels, but I would assume that for audible sound, it would lay somewhere between a few inches, and a few meters for human voice, scaling up or down for louder and quieter noise creation.
If you think space is a pure vacuum, and thus no sound at all is possible, I suggest you remember where you are typing this from.

We arent doomed, zinc will still exist, the amount we consume/need is fractional and exists all over the surface of the planet...
Its just not "farmable" in large amounts that way, therefore they say its "all gone" as far as electronics and such go...
well, I was using particle ambiguously as in pretty much anything, not specifically as a piece of dust, or something somewhat "large", but anything that isn't a vacuum (atoms, molecules, etc)

You already know it...

Yeah yeah, "it was a joke"...but... (What is

But so what?
There's nothing in the article or summary that hasn't already been covered in the other 76 articles about Firefox in the last 2 months.
Firefox team is still developing Firefox... shit, so is Opera, so is IE, Safari, etc, etc...
ooh ooh...my turn...
Why does food have listed ingredients?
Maybe, but at least I'm not walking around covered in my own shit.

But then again, if it wasn't for Ford (et al), we'd probably would have been driving electric cars for the last century, at least in the cities.

Bullshit, if they did that, then you'd come back and bitch that it doesn't search thoroughly enough.
Opera's searches both, if the URL, or the Title contain the query, it displays the URL and associated Title, or vice-versa, with the query in bold.
Firefox does the same, just displays it a bit differently, and IE doesn't seem to do it at all, just the normal auto-complete type thing.
So, i'll presume, and simply say "stop using IE"
I agree, I think...
The registry is probably one of the best things about Windows, its just been poorly handled by both Microsoft and third-party developers.

But, its like 35C, and... I'm just rambling...
Whats your point?
The moon is closer, cheaper, wasn't very well investigated, is essentially stationary, and has a far more direct correlation with Earth. We shouldn't have ever stopped going, and just skipped that whole bullshit with Vietnam.

"Considering most of the money on this product is made in Asia"
Yet it's an American company, so I doubt that if they outsource to Asia, that they are doing it because its more expensive to make them in Asia.
I'll agree that the name, is well frankly retarded. Although when searching "looj" it's not exactly a common name, so that could be a benefit.
However, the name of a product doesn't make the money it makes isn't worth as much.
It's no secret, nor is it new...

Yes, a similar idea, called an acronym, although I doubt they "stole" the idea from LAME, since WINE started in 1993, LAME started in 1998.
Wine Is Not an Emulator
LAME's name, is quite lame...
LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder
and also LAME is now an Encoder making it LIME.
I found that to be rather large as well, but according to Wikipedia:
The lander has a mass of 350 kg, and measures 2.2 m tall by 5.5 m long with its solar panels deployed. The science deck is about 1.5 m in diameter.The Robotic Arm (RA) is designed to extend 2.35 m from its base on the lander, and have the ability to dig down to 0.5 m below the surface.
And from the Wiki picture and the article picture the bucket looks like it may be about 6 inches wide...However, I still doubt that they actually scooped up 1^3 meter of soil, but rather parts of an area that is 1^3 meter...
You mean like... tool tips?
