Alas the Library still sucks... but it gives half-decent history management without Enhanced History Manager.
The mechanism by which this is supposed to happen is the existing "a new version is available" test, so how does this help your hypothetical luser who's either a) already gotten similar messages or b) has the check disabled?
Not sure. DTM seems to run a mailing-list, and accept interns. Other posters have mentioned Engineers Without Borders, and vkg gave a few links to similar kinds of things including "Appropedia."
For some reason the news office didn't link to D-lab. But there are actually plenty of groups at MIT doing stuff like this, including the Public Service Center's IDEAS competition, several Mech-E student ptojects, Design for Change, and the spin-off Design that matters.
These groups work on a lot of interesting things. Some of them, like the Kinkajou projector, see somewhat esoteric or "luxurious," but others are pretty basic and nifty. There are a lot of bicycle flywheel-moderated pedal powered devices that seem to fill genuine needs, as does the famous peanut sheller.

My understanding is (and this may be limited to my sub-segment) you *can* work over-time, but the rules surrounding it are so convoluted (you can't be asked and must volunteer; you can't be compensated for it, nor must there be any implied statements regarding future compensation) that in practice it amounts to it being forbidden.
A vote blanc is a reasonable protest vote thank you very much. Your poorly conceived notions of mandatory selection of the lesser of two evils is what forces the existing race to the bottom in the first place.
This is *not* insightful (and I'm wasting my change to mod it overrated to try and correct it).
1) Nitrogen is one of the most available chemicals on the planet. 2) *Nitrates* are the biologically available form of nitrogen. 3) Farmers dump hundreds of pounds to tons of fertilizer on their fields; depending on crop, soil, etc. 4) As far as I can tell, nitrates are not a major combustion product of nitrocellulose. You can get some
nitrogen dioxide as a seconday byproduct, but no more so than anything else burned in
the atmopshere at high temperatures, including perchlorate fireworks. The main effect of which would
seem to be some minor acidification; NO2 -> N2O4, N2O4 + H2O -> HNO2 + HNO3.
WTF? What other species uses energy to make clothes, condition the environment of large enclosed spaces, and annoy others with ever present pop music? Since there are none that I am aware of, I don't see how you can expect nature to have solved the problem of powering said *man-made* systems. On the other hand, nature has solved the problem of powering non-modernized humans, although there is some debate as to its magnitude.
And here I thought the explanation of what sublimation was in the summary was superfluous. Please see the phase diagram for H20. Martian atmospheric pressure is extremely low.

They could claim that the applet should prevent the creation of the Scrabble board e.g; "making available"
Au contraire. It is easy to love FrameMaker... a true WYSIWIG with plenty of control.
Its book feature is a Bob-send for writing large works.
meh.
If Almight Google weren't involved this non-story wouldn't have even been posted.
...or started charging people for it.

s/2/0/; #There, fixed that for you.
Technically that's 2 NO2 <-> N2O4, although it's heavily weighted to the right under STP.
This is *not* insightful (and I'm wasting my change to mod it overrated to try and correct it).

It's a relative measure of effect rather than absolute; the latter of which would be of no benefit without a baseline.
You have got to be the stupidest motherfucker on the planet if you don't get that; that's hyperbole.

Maybe you should link through coralcache then?
No. I'm just tired of the witless throngs going on about such triviality.
Yes, still not cold enough as far as I can tell given this phase diagram and these temperatures and pressures.
Yeah yeah, let's call a typo, but it really doesn't change the point.
Send your own fucking probe if you can't be bothered to subtract 32 and multiply by 4/9.
No, as the point they're making is that it doesn't get cold enough for dry ice to form. If it did, Mars' atmosphere would snow out.
And here I thought the explanation of what sublimation was in the summary was superfluous.
Please see the phase diagram for H20. Martian atmospheric pressure is extremely low.
Umm, they do this with JavaScript appended to the page.
