I've seen the argument and commercials where E-ink is easier to read in bright sunlight. Conversely iPad type screens are easier to read in low light obviously since they provide their own light. Until a screen tech is perfected for both situations, there will be instances where each has it's weaknesses.
I tried running Hulu off my N450 netbook (2GB) and on the laptop the playback was fine, but output it to a big screen and it stuttered too much.
I don't see a huge need for nettops like that since many BR players can do that plus DNLA and numerous streaming services for as cheap or cheaper.
I hope I'm not the only geek that never goes there. Why waste the clicks? Just go to the search engine window in the browser. Double good when you can select where you want to search such as Wikipedia, Youtube, Dictionary, or the hundreds of others.
I always visit Google.com when new things like this come up or they have fancy Google pics, but I don't see the reason to go there.
The problem is that people use religion to fill the void of what science does not know. If science was never allowed to encroach on religion's territory, all scientific progress would stop. We'd still believe the planets and sun orbited the earth in perfect circles.
So you're telling me all those great scientists of yore had no great religious inclinations. It was only their rejection of that that allowed them to pursue the truths of this world?
But then aren't you putting your defined "God" into physical terms? Seems to me that if there is an infinite God, he would be outside of the laws of his created universe. Comparing his actions to what scientists think should happen is just silly.
"Dr Shostak says that artificially intelligent alien life would be likely to migrate to places where both matter and energy - the only things he says would be of interest to the machines - would be in plentiful supply. That means the Seti hunt may need to focus its attentions near hot, young stars or even near the centres of galaxies."
So they should be looking at places usually hostile for biological life.
So machines don't have any curiosity built in by their designers and only leave planet to search out new energy sources. Something tells me we shouldn't be telling them where we are if that is the case.
Did you guys not have recess? I think that was one of my favorite parts of grade school (even though I got good grades). Add in lunch time, 20-30 minute recesses x 3, library/art/music or something else where you're not sitting still learning from a book and you have it down to around 4-5 hours.
There's nothing wrong with drugs provided the drug helps. Would you eschew a crutch if you had a broken leg? A sling if you had a broken arm? Aspirin for a headache? If a drug will make your life better, take the damned drug!
I believe this is where most differ in that you are treating the symptom not the cause. Why take a drug/sling/crutch/aspirin if you could avoid those related symptoms in the first place. I don't doubt some kids need it but what makes many skeptical of its widespread use is the fact they see the parenting of those kids as leading to the symptoms, not the kids themselves.
My neighbor was just arrested and had their mug shots on the nightly news and written up by the local news for suspected meth and related paraphernalia. So obviously everyone thinks there was some involved as thats what the news said relayed to them by the police spokesperson.
Problem is, there wasn't any. It was only suspected (due to past boyfriends) and they found nothing and had to release her later that night but the persona damage is still done to her and to the neighborhood.
So I'm not really sure how I feel about this as DUI is slightly different when arrested. And I don't see how FB is any different than the nightly news or papers.
1. Let a and b be equal non-zero quantities
a = b
2. Multiply through by a
a^2 = ab
3. Subtract b^2
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
4. Factor both sides
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)
5. Remove canceling values (a - b)
a + b = b
6. Observing that a = b
b + b = b
7. Combine like terms on the left
2b = b
8. Divide by the non-zero b 2 = 1
Republicans still dodge questions about supporting Bush's fiscal irresponsibility
Would that be the same people flooding their congressman's phones 90-1 against the TARP that was passed anyway? I don't know any R's that like the spending and expansion that happened under Bush II, dem or republican congress supporting.
Fame whore? Without googling, off of the top of your head, what's the full name and correct spelling of the guy behind WikiLeaks? And what does he look like?

[overturns the small table in the room] What country are you from?
"What?"
What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in "What"?!
"What?"
English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?!
"Yes!"
Then you know what I'm saying.
[gasping] "Yes..."
Describe what the WikiLeaks founder looks like!
"What?"
[points gun directly in face] Say "what" again. Say "what" again! I dare you! I double-dare you, motherfucker! Say "what" one more goddamn time!

Why not just require the pool installers to get the correct permits before digging the pool in the first place? By leaving it up to the homeowner to get the permit after the fact you are creating a big hole for a problem, causing more churn and inefficiency.
The Virginia Graeme Baker Act now makes sure all public pools have some kind of anti-suction main drain (either double or a single elongated one) to great expense to all owners (even though a proper main drain did not suck any more than should the skimmers).
The VGB Act doesn't even affect private pools where almost all accidents of entrapment happen, likely due to poor maintenance./opinion
Bring all the troops home from everywhere, cut the military budget in half, and we'd have no economic woes
Except for all those people that are out of a job that work in defense industries or the thousands of soldiers that are no longer needed flooding the 10% unemployment already job market. And those are just two obvious ones.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be done but it would be a delicate process.
"reasonable pathway" could also be interpreted as "wild guess to stretch it so we are still right" in your context which is no better than the creationists argument.
I think that is the point of online photo sharing sites like Flickr and Picasa. Why put them away in the attic, not to be seen, when you can put them online and view them all the time (or none) whenever you want to.
With tagging, gps, etc, our photos today have a much better chance at surviving than the older pics that seem to vanish after one or two generations because no one knows who they are or the context.
Besides, there are not many pics worth keeping past your generation anyway except as a way to identify you. No one will care about my recent vacation in 5 years except me, let alone 50. It has a great way of filtering itself.
Really I'd like to see it as I know adult elephants (and likely babies) do that when there are nutritional shortages in the food sources (or are just really curious), just have never seen or heard of baby elephants doing it for digestion development reasons.

That was irritating, neither the summary or the linked article had actual links to the map itself. Can't let them click away from the site and all...

History disagrees with you.

From the article,
"Dr Shostak says that artificially intelligent alien life would be likely to migrate to places where both matter and energy - the only things he says would be of interest to the machines - would be in plentiful supply. That means the Seti hunt may need to focus its attentions near hot, young stars or even near the centres of galaxies."

Yeah I realize that, it was a joke. In fact a very well known one that's even on the wiki page about math fallacies.
1. Let a and b be equal non-zero quantities
a = b
2. Multiply through by a
a^2 = ab
3. Subtract b^2
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
4. Factor both sides
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)
5. Remove canceling values (a - b)
a + b = b
6. Observing that a = b
b + b = b
7. Combine like terms on the left
2b = b
8. Divide by the non-zero b
2 = 1

So what you're saying is that all those scrap-booking parties the ladies have to save our best pics are really better than our fancy PC's.
