Well, that's because water is one of the lowest-energy states of hydrogen. Most of the methods to actually USE hydrogen involve the creation of water as an end-product.
Of course, when somebody invents sone insane system that is powered by its own waste product...
The roaming customers would not be paying for it, at least not directly. With my provider, if I'm inside my "home" area, and regardless of whether my phone says it's roaming or not, I don't get billed for roaming minutes. I'm sure the phone company does, though.
They don't have to charge extra for it. They would possibly get extra customers by the impession giving them teh impressions they're in a position to provide more reliable service, even in adverse conditions.
In addition, they have the people roaming to their towers. Let's assume, conservatively, that they charge a rate of 5/minute to the other carriers for supporting roaming customers. Let's also assume, conservatively, that a truck can support 50 simultaneous calls, and half those will be roaming calls. In a twelve-hour day, that's $900 per truck.
Sure, it's not anwhere near enough to pay for the truck, but the numbers are most likely much bigger. Then, start considering that this tecnology would be worthwhile for certain special events that involve large masses of people. What about festivals that are held in remote areas? What about periodic fill-in service when a permanent tower fails? By the time you factor in happier customers, incoming roaming, and reduced outgoing roaming, it may make a lot of fiscal sense to do it with no additional, explicit charges.
It's probably when you rinse the windshield with seawater that they get really turned off. Try skipping that step and see if it improves things for you.
Yeah, that was my thought. As if the laundry wouldn't cool off to a large degree on the way home, anyway. If the laundry's cool enough not to melt/burn through the bags on the way home (the type of bag was not made clear) then it's not going to set your home on fire.
Unless you place it directly on top of your toaster that's broken and stuck in the "down" position.
At that size of music collection, I will admit a MD player can provide competition to the iPod. While the iPod mini is still smaller and (in my opinion) blessed with a better interface, the Hi-MD players are (correct me if I'm wrong) less expensive, and I have always been in awe of the amazing battery life Sony has managed over both their MD and CD lines.
And as for all 40GB in one, well I guess its about preferences, I like just having discs with certain compilations on them myself.
So...you'd rather carry around 20 (or 60, or 40 in my case) separate discs, all for the sake of keeping your music...separare? Buy an iPod and create dozens playlists. You can keep your music separate and it's much simpler to "switch discs" when you don't actually have to switch anything.
I still own an MD player, but it gets zero use now that I've got an iPod. It's more convenient ant useful in almost every way. Don't knock auto-sunchronization until you've known its benefits...it's VERY useful when you've got tens of GBs of music.
More accurately, the more energy something is. Good luck harnessing the power inherent in fingernail clippings, though. In most cases, transforming matter into energy is difficult; we only know how to do it in special cases where the materials lend themselves to it, such as the nuclear instability of some uranium isotopes. But sure, when we figure out how to take random atoms and convert them completely to energy, our energy needs will be over. It doesn't take much mass to produce an immense amount of energy.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the close of WWII annihilated ounces of matter. If I'm doing my math correctly, one gram of matter equates to roughly 21,400 megawatt-hours of energy. Still, I'd like to see you convert a sheet of paper into a city's power supply for a year. In theory, it could be a viable source of energy, but the way to harness it is proving rather difficult. Perhaps further research into antimatter will show the way.
A portion will be upset of the switch to x86 and will ditch Apple for it - they'll be gone regardless of whether or not they support generic x86.
And they'd jump ship to...what, exactly? Windows? As much as the idea of x86 may turn some people off toward the brand, those same people are exactly the sort that see an inherent value to the other things Apple provides, so Macs are still a better option in their mind, x86 or not.
Say what you will, my dad's old StyleWriter II (think Canon BJ-10) still works, printing at least 30 pages per week. It has been doing so for over ten years, which is, to me, fairly impressive. I'm sure his printer is the exception to the rule, but inkjets *can* last a long time.
That really shouldn't happen. After three failures, the policy is to return the whole machine, never to be seen again - and have it replaced by an entirely different-but-equivalent system.
Go here and It'll give you all sorts of magic messages. I assumed it's the default, since I've had it set that way for so long. Guess not.
I have "comment moderation" "metamod results" and "comment reply" all directed to "web," so the slashdot main page alerts me to new messages at the top, if I have any.
It's not JUST the record companies, but the distributors as well. Certain companies are licensed by the copyright holders to distribute in a certain geographic area. They don't like the idea of being cut out of the loop. If Apple got to globally-distribute songs without going through the regional distributors, it would throw their whole system to the wind.
I'm not saying that's not an outcome I'd desire eventually, but trying to solve EVERY problem of the music industry all at once is a recipe for disaster.
When did you buy it? Granted...I'm too young to personally remember the launch of the NES, but the SNES was released at $200, so the idea that previous generations were launched at a similar (dollar amount) price point sounds reasonable.
I think part of the problem is that Christianity has been around a pretty long time. As much as it's troublesome, history can play a pretty mean game of "telephone," and matters get confused. They shouldn't, but people with their own agenda and too much power for their own good corrupt matters in ways both subtle and blatant. So, yes, you have a million people claiming that they are relaying exactly what God thinks. Half of said people contradict the second half. All are arguing that the differing group are a bunch of Satan-induced liars.
As you've seen, it's not the most productive way for things to be handled.
The problem then becomes what to do. Sometimes I figure the best bet is to let "those" Christians have the tattered name and organize a giant splinter group. Maybe the "Jesians." =)

VCore is regulated by the motherboard. I'm not saying the PSU isn't the root cause...but you can't directly blame the PSU for that one.
what the hell were you doing dipping your testicles in hot water before sex?
He probably misunderstood the term "teabagging."

(selling the ibooks for $50.00 tells me the latter was true)
Exactly. Sell them closer to market value, and pay another teacher for a year.
Fucking fiscal irresponsibility, that deal was.
*Implementing* GZip takes a hell of a lot longer than 5 minutes :)
Nah, dude, zlib. Two minutes, max.
=P
Try searching Google; the first result has all the info you need.

I bet Something Awful will care, about the time for another installment of The Weekend Web.

Did you see the part about "pre-release versions working correctly?" As in, the release versions don't work, but future versions will work.
Actually, I will, (actually...did) since replies get sent to my /. message-box.
Anyhow, my guess is that whatever script that normally hands out mod points is broken.
So...comment scores are just broken for me, or something? There's a startling lack of moderation going on today.
Did you pay attention to what I said at all, or just cover your ears and sing at the top of your lungs?
