Um, a drawer is small and easily searched. It's much harder to search a taxi, or a train, that's why the UK only loses valuable information in difficult-to-search locations.
They "made" some seriously crappy TV here. Nowadays, its either imported Spanish or Korean soap operas dubbed into the local language.
And let's be honest, the only reason so many people still go to the cinema is for the airconditioning... it sure as hell ain't for the locally produced movies, which consist usually of people shouting a lot, and at least one overacting bakla (gay male) to make all the God-fearing heteros feel superior.
I'm not so sure that MySQL has an auto-vacuum as such. Deleted rows etc will eventually slow down the indexes as they get fragmented, and the space AFAIK is not reused.
We run ANALYZE TABLES and OPTIMIZE TABLES once a month, and the performance boost right after these operations is very noticeable.
The idea of copyright is to promote the author to create more innovative works. So, no we should NOT pay Cory anything, lest he spout more of the same nonsense.
Yes, I dropped a decimal point somewhere, your are correct on the number of zeros.
But then you also try to play the numbers game with your "if every person on the planet did XYZ".
There are an awful lot of people on this planet who don't even HAVE electricity, never mind a mobile device to save those odd Watts.
A country like US has an average of 11kW per person usage, while Bangladesh has an average of 0.2kW per person usage.
If we can save 1000W per person
No, you can't simply scale up the math ad infinitum, multiply it by 6 billion people and still sound credible.
Realistic goals for energy efficiency require tangible quantities for it to work. Percentages are meaningless when you are talking about devices that require a miniscule fraction of the energy required to power say a 5 liter SUV, or a home temperature control system.
You want to make a difference ? Ban all car engines above 1.6 liter. Mandate all homes to be fitted / retrofitted with proven insulation technology. Develop realistic alternative energy sources like wind, wave and solar.
Don't just shut off my screensaver because it consumes 0.001 W more off than it does on. It's like avoiding pissing in the ocean in case it becomes too salty.
You must be new here (aww damn, I just saw your ID).
The real answers to the questions could often be found by doing some real research on the subject
Hell, most./ users have trouble RTFA, or even RTFS... now we have to "research" something before we answer ? Unless you want even more wikipedia citations than usual, I'd retract your request for research.
We're all terminal ADD sufferers here, and usually lose track of what...

Look very carefully at *this* ...
10,000 years === 0.0002%
Even using the extreme case of 9 x "tens of thousands of years", that's still only 0.0018%. My point stands. Next ?
In most cases, many people ate the flesh of one corpse
And thirty minutes later, they felt like another one.

As the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, your 10,000 years is still only 0.0002%
It's still hardly representative.
Pehaps you could check your bells and wistels in Open Office spellchecker before posting ?
Because it makes the numbers sound so much bigger !
The same way anything on Discovery Channel is described as being "thousands of pounds", when it's actully only about a ton-and-a-half.
We have the best politicians corporate money can buy.
FTFY
You should learn that politics and science never shall mix.
It's just a shame all the politicians missed that lecture.
The simple fact is, that the majority of data that feeds these models ARE known
The majority of THIS equation is known, but the missing bit (n) makes a hell of a difference in the final result (r).
r = 12345678^n^n
The result of any model is only as good as the accuracy of ALL the data fed into it. Garbage in, garbage out.

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql'
There, that wasn't hard, was it ?
Yup, Steve tells you to buy a new one, and you say "yes Sir".
Chances are, you're behind a firewall or proxy, or clicked the Back button to accidentally reuse a form
No, chances are, I can have more than one thought per minute.
Best suggestion I've ever heard.
Two BIOS chips, with a DIP switch to select which one is active, and only allow the flashing to be done on the deactivated one.
Hell, you could even use it as a dual booter with a differnt BIOSOS on each.
You clearly stated (twice) the phrase "in profits".
Therefore, 500 > 420, there is no need to subtract the initial cost again !

It burnsss, preciousss !
My guess is that the Authors Guild will try to create a system in which you must be registered as blind or dyslexic
Which will probably be a web page with a link "If you are blind or dyslexic, please click here".
Yup, upgrade it to Linux.
Well if I didn't say it, someone else would have !
Yes because that's something *no one* would ever think to Photoshop. Are you really that naive ?
If so, I've got half a bridge to sell you ... it's actually a full bridge, but half of it is covered with an invisibility cloak.
Okay I'll bite.

Nobody is going to pony up $50 billion to give to a group of people who haven't proven they can do anything useful with it
Obama gave considerably more to the banks I believe.
