Why yes, yes I do actually. Do you know what CEfGW is? It's an idiom.
Nobody's going to be using this thing to pinpoint the exact location of a trans-terran tunnel; particularly given the problem of crossing the core, only chords and not diameters are appropriate.
That's an interesting "story", particularly that you'd consider a GI a well prepared mind. The seemingly more common version is that Percy Spencer, working at Raytheon noticed that his candy bar got warm and soft whilst working with a magentron.
Not OT at all if, unlike the majority of folks, you're capable of seeing the forest for the trees. You ought to be modded Insightful, not Offtopic.
Here in Boston the transit service hiked fares 25% 2 years ago, and is getting ready for a 50% at the end of the year. Because guldarnit, the system ought to be self- sufficient. As if highways, gasoline, and car manufacturers aren't subsidized in any way. Sure, spend over a decade and $15 billion dollars inconveniencing everyone *in the city* to "improve" the flow of people from outside of the city to the other side. Now that's some money and political capital well spent.
For some definition of "refine". Instead of just removing spurious results you've tacked on a highly restrictive criterion. It seems to me that "Do not distribute" could accompany any number of qualifiers on a title page, but not be part of the actual title.
If the replacements are qualified, you don't need a 1:1 ratio of trainers to trainees. When *you* start a new job, do you get a dedicated trainer for a significant period of time? In the immortal words of Bob, "I doubt it."
Support your local credit union. Small business, live people, love to have you.
I ended up at BofA after a series of mergers and had always hated them long before that. They kept trying to screw me on stupid shit, like a $50 fee to deposit a foreign currency check, whereas my credit union did it for free. Guess which bank got the boot?
Well, no decent GIS application lacks a back button.
I don't track too many AJAXy sites, but I should think anything where you can have a significant change in scope of the content presented (particularly when it makes up the bulk of the page and there is little else in the way of controls or context) ought to allow the user to go back to a previous scope. Mail box to mail box, browsing a nested discussion.
Not at all, see RedHat dropping Sparc support. e.g. Why should I bother building and testing for an Alpha if I don't I own one, don't use one, and you aren't providing one for me to test on and aren't willing to do the testing yourself?
Whereas other people have pointed out that 9x is still a substantial chunk of people, whom have been abandonded by their vendor and this could provide a nice migration path yielding new converts.
It certainly makes sense to be able to drag, zoom etc. within a mapping app (e.g; google maps) and it certainly makes sense to be able to go back to your previous viewing extent too.
Actually, I was just reading about some alternative spreadsheet technologies the other day over at http://cbbrowne.com/info/spreadsheets.html which I cam across when looking for a console spreadsheet app (was looking for sc for linux); I'd prefer something that understands xls so I can read frickin' attachments easily.
I can't locate the name right now, but there's an interesting short story featured in one of the earlier edition's of David G. Hartwell's _Year's Best SF_ series about this. People whom go out of the way to purchase materials for their hobbies in untrackable ways to avoid being targeted by marketers, and having it become a fad.
Fix Light Mode! Simple design + low bandwidth mode should be an exact replacement. People using Light Mode *were not* eagerly awaiting the latest eye candy redesign.
I hate captchas too, but one thing I've wondered about is using ASCII art. It turns out to be rather automatable to solve if given the plain text ouput (we did it in a perl quiz of the week)... but what about rendering the ASCII art as an image with further obfuscation to foil OCR? Or ASCII art to SVG? Heck, pick some of the wackier fonts off of the myriad free sites and render text with them in SVG and you've got a nearly indecipherable mess;-)

Because, as I said, "at this scale" (and for this use) it does not matter.
Clearly governments care see: GPS, Gallileo, GLASNOS, etc.
More interesting topics of discussion are:
How smoothly the interface works if you zoom all the way out.
The resizing of the scale bar as you scroll N-S
P.S> The Earth is not, in fact, a sandwich. Though it may soon be demolished
to make way for a hyperpace bypass.

Sorry, equator *and* axis. That is, it's an oblate spheroid and not an egg.
Which is close enough for government work.
Seriously, at this scale it's not really an issue. Especially if you're willing to consider the
Earth's ellipsoid symmetric across the equator.
You assume that there are no externalities with regard to power generation;
most any non self-deluding entity on this planet can agree there are.
Second, you also present a false dichotomy, because you could just as easily
have the console on some sort of switch (power strip or switched outlet).
One time cost of $20 for a multi-switch dealie to plug in your VCR, DVD player
and consoles vs. the power wasted by each.
That's an interesting "story", particularly that you'd consider a GI a well prepared

Because it reduces drag. If it offends you so much:
a) don't buy one
b) buy one, rip them off, but don't whine and bitch about the mileage
PT Cruiser's are ugly as fuck, is that justification to stop building ICE automobiles?
It's a French group, so they're using Commonwealth English you dolt.
Since when is delta M equal to v in kinematics?

A couple are irrelevant but the signal to noise is much better than the GP query.

They aren't Indian Geeks. If they were, training wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Depends on what base your math is in; a-z0-9 works great for base 36.
