But that's OK. We don't actually need Iridium phones or GPS...
Daylight Savings Time has enormous costs and very little value in return.
Can you put a number on these "enormous costs" or do you simply assume this because of your aversion to the government meddling with your precious clock?
Are we talking millions? Billions? Generations scarred for life? Inquiring minds want to know.
And they weren't coming hot off Apollo; the space shuttle was about a decade later.
Actually they were coming hot off the Apollo. Nixon gave the go-ahead for the shuttle project while still being in office. It's just that by the time the first shuttle was finally launched into space, after many setbacks and delays partly due to the needless complexity (mandated by the military who wanted greater glide capability), Apollo started to become a distant memory.
You obviously haven't been to Amsterdam. Here every other moron on a bike is blathering into his or her cellphone. Racing across the sidewalk and they get violent if you don't instantly react like Pavlov's dog and jump out of their way when they ring their pathetic little bells.
Agreed Google won because it was better at finding stuff even before it was big, and because of it's simple layout. Both seem to be sacrificed for looking pretty.
Oh oh, I know! Maybe we can invent software that extends the desktop across two virtual screens, so you can run your one app on the left hand side and your other app on the right hand side of the screen.
I'm heartily sick of having to avoid drivers using their mobile phone when they aren't paying attention to the road. As a cyclist I know that I'll come off worse in any collision.
Unless the other guy is a pedestrian. Come to think of it, cycling while on the phone is very common around where I live, and equally dangerous.
As a light source incandescent bulbs are very inefficient, however as a heat source they are near 100% efficient, so by selling them as heat-lamps you might be able to circumvent the tax.
The right way to stimulate lower electricity consumption is to put a tax on each kWh consumed, that way you don't have to work out a tax for each and every single piece of equipment, and you'll automatically reward clever energy use. Besides, what is required is an absolute drop in power consumption, so taxing relatively low consumption appliances like lightbulbs, but not taxing high consumption appliances like airconditioners makes this scheme fairly pointless.
This is of course an impopular idea on slashdot, as it will make running your beowulf cluster built out of untaxed secondhand hardware more expensive.
minefield has it too (3.0 alpha release for OSX, fairly reliable if you don't try to use the bookmark manager and twice as fast as 2.0, which is why I'm using an alpha release)
This time it happens only in the search bar.
Speaking of minefield, now v2.0 is released, I hope they have time to work on 3.0 once again. There used to be daily updates.
That's easily solved. Just rig the case with high explosive so that when you take out one, the other will explode. Just add a sticker with the message:
By breaking this seal I agree that any loss of fingers, eyes or life is the result of my evil pirating ways. In no way can the MPAA be held responsible for my death, and I agree that this is a fair and just punishment for nasty thieves like me.
The president commented this morning on this latest development:
"I did not fallify! Our secret service determined that the wheels of my Segway were spinning on an Axle of Evil. Mr. Kamen is on his way to Gitmo as we speak!"
They simply believe that access to some information is better than access to no information.
A little information is a dangerous thing, as the saying goes. No matter how Google management tries to rationalize their actions, their bowing to censorship gives a distorted view of the net and effectively legitimizes Chinese censorship policy.
And to come back to your analogy, if it's about reading crap or reading nothing, the latter seems preferable to me.

So to break even they've got to sell 9000 copies.
I can imagine the boardroom scene now:
"Vetega, what does the scouter say about the number of copies sold?"
Last I checked most dog whisles are sub 60kHz, so calling that a bass either is a typo or one of us doesn't know what we're talking about.

I think that quote is missing an "off".
Now IE isn't part of the OS anymore, the OS is part of IE.
Let's all file an antitrust lawsuit to unbundle the OS from the browser.

2784 is an integer multiple of 3, so it's more like 1 in 3, but then it's unwise to generalize from a data set where n=1.
Agreed Google won because it was better at finding stuff even before it was big, and because of it's simple layout. Both seem to be sacrificed for looking pretty.
And it's a lame name.
I get the feeling that this is more about using the peltier elements in reverse, in order to produce electric current from the temperature difference.
The flagship publication of the reactionary publishing house Springer Presse puts forth an article in favor of heavy oil and coal consumption?
That's unpossible!

Let's judge him in death like we judged him in life: As an arrogant greedy prick. To do anything less would be true hypocrisy.

Just wait and see the awesome revolutionary power of an entire nation armed with ZX81s!!!
They'll have you evil imperialists quaking in your expensive leather shoes.
The cake is nearly done. It'll be ready to ship early in 2007, promise.

Do you have a link to a reputable (i.e. peer-reviewed) paper to back up that wild assertion?

but you shouldn't forget ceres and ub313 so it will be
My very educated mother cleverly just showed us nine unusual exhibitionists.
