I don't care if it uses more energy, I like it when it gets dark later. I like getting out of work while it's still light outside.
Me too. That's why I have my clock set 4 hours ahead of normal. Unfortunately, I've found it hard to keep a job. I do get out of work when there are many hours of light left in the day, though. I've been trying to have a law enacted to force everyone to set their clocks ahead, but am also meeting resistance. Why can't everyone see that it benefits me if they change their schedules?
Apparently the problem is not knowing where the toilet seat is. Study of a toilet in a lighted bathroom should remedy that, particularly study of both positions of the lid, and how to toggle its position.
Ballmer said yesterday [...] 'There's not much money being made, but the general concept of giving developers a way not only to get their code distributed, but to really get visibility for the code, is a good idea,'
Firstly, no one is suggesting that Firefox should mark self-signed certified sites as "secure". What's wrong is the giant error message it shows instead. Why not show the same error message and require > 4 clicks for unencrypted pages too, since they are clearly worse than self-signed pages. It should mark these pages just the same way as it does with unencrypted sites.
One mark of unencrypted pages is http: at the beginning of the URL. Users have been told to look for https: to be sure it's a secure connection. Self-signed certificates use https, correct, so how would the browser avoid displaying https and misleading such users?
And even if the electronic voting machine works perfectly (that is, correctly counts votes), how do you instill confidence in the voter? And if his confidence is shaken, how does he re-establish it without merely accepting what some authority says?
How about a solution which works for everyone? Mute the TV and turn closed-captioning on. Then it's not something that imposes on everyone in the room, looking at the TV or not.
I already downloaded the Billboard Hot 100 for every year from the 1930s to 2007. I'm all set.
As for the newer stuff, they won't see a single dime from my pocket. I think I will survive just fine if I never-again hear Britney's or Rihanna's voices.
If only unauthorized copying really were stealing. Then you could burn all those songs on a few DVDs, nuke them from orbit (only way to be sure), and rid us of them for good. If only...
That's 70 tons of copper melted per second for a single beam. That's a hell of a lot of energy, but I'm not sure what the standard unit is for energy/time (hiroshimas is just energy; libraries of congress and football fields obviously don't apply). Anyone know what the standard made-up unit is for energy/time?
Inconceivable! Libraries-of-Congress and football-fields can be made to apply to anything, if you use them right.
Give it up; this case is merely an opportunity for most people to see what they want to see in it, facts be damned. Apparently the temperature of the coffee is irrelevant, just the fact that the customer was imperfect and thus deserved however much surgery was necessary.
The time I was in a hospital waiting to see how my father was, I would have been much calmer if there wasn't a fucking TV blaring nearby. Otherwise, sure.
I do something similar, only I haven't bothered to wire it down. One time the drive wasn't snug horizontally near the servo end, and it would shake around when doing full seeks. I figured that was not a good thing, because at the very least it would make full seeks slower since the drive movement would make the heads take longer to settle on the new track (more ringing). At worst, I figured it could cause them to position badly and corrupt data.

Wow, an open-source app store.

That's why we have the House of Representatives.
That's why we have the .

Basement-dwelling nerds rejoice worldwide at this long-overdue vindication of their muscle-enhancement regimen.
Maybe they make a patch for this sort of thing, like smokers can wear. I guess this would be a cellulose patch?

Failing that, there's always

That's our job. Ballot box, soapbox, ammo box.
The money will disappear, that's for sure. So I guess you really do have one, in a sense.
And here I always thought that explaining a joke was sure to ruin it.
You'll know when cloaking is really working when the monthly dupe of "cloaking, this time for real" stops showing up here.
It needs Javascript because PDFs include Javascript code. Duh! Now, let's see what this "begging the question" is on that Wikipedia page...

You missed THE most obligatory comment:
256 cores should be enough for anybody!

How about a closed loop with a knot already in it? No way to untie without cutting the loop.
Can you say "Linksys"? It's Wi-Fi and it's free in almost every city, depending on your location.
