Because there's still many situations in which fossil fuels are a much better power source than solar/wind/hydro/etc. So it may be more practical to use fossil fuels in northern and cloudy climes and run solar powered CO2 scrubbers in sunnier climes to counterbalance it.
Dude, for the last time, you can't cite the crazy street hobo as a legitimate source.
Depending on which data set you use and which source, the US comes in around 12 per capita for carbon emissions. What's more, is that it has slowly decreased over the past 20+ years whereas many other companies have exploded upwards in the same time frame. Now, most of those countries with higher per capita emissions are much smaller countries than the US and we're still near or at the top of total emissions, but that doesn't change your crazy street hobo wrongness about per capita.
The sleep key to put a computer to sleep was pretty common on OEM systems for a while (especially Compaq), but I see it less often now on basic keyboards.
If you run Windows and never use the Windows key, you're missing out on a lot of good keyboard shortcuts.
I have a number of keys that are used far less frequently than the Win key... notably Scroll Lock, Pause/Break, Insert and, of course, Caps Lock. The least used key is probably the context menu key, which I've only ever used on systems with a malfunctioning or nonexistent mouse. I also rarely use most of the F keys... F4 and F5 are the only ones that see use on a regular basis.
Would your rather your PC just turned off without any error message whatsoever? The BSOD is a useful tool... the mistake that causes it lies elsewhere.
There are Kindle/Nook apps for generic Android, but the Nook/Fire gives a much more integrated experience. So if you're looking for tablet that can also do ebooks, get an Android tablet and use apps. If you're looking for a (color) e-reader that can also do tablet things, get a Kindle/Nook tablet. The Fire/Nook still make more sense if your primary use of the device is as an e-reader because the integration makes it much smoother than their respective apps.
The Nook app doesn't feel as smooth or integrated as using the actual Nook Color/tablet and from what I've seen from store displays, the Kindle app vs Kindle Fire is much the same way. Not a big deal for casual readers, but hardcore readers will probably prefer the smoother experience of the Fire/Nook compared to the app on a generic Android device
Or if you don't need much tablet at all, get the older Nook Color for $50-$70. Dual booting is as easy as putting Cyanogenmod on a microSD card... returning it to factory settings is as easy as removing the microSD card. There's no microphone or camera, but it runs Netflix quite well and web browsing is snappy. I've had mine for almost 2 years and I think it hits the perfect balance of price, size and performance for a good majority of tablet users, although most Slashdot readers want something a bit more powerful than the average tablet user.
Georgia would be one of those other states he mentioned. I only read the Slashdot summary of the article, but it did seem to imply rather strongly that the Georgia cop was not in New York.
IANAL, which is why I included the "etc" because I don't know all the legal ins and outs of those various laws. I would imagine it would fall under something like misleading the consumer because you're purporting to be another customer giving the review, not the company advertising its own product.
That's an invention, not the product itself. You'll also notice that very few of those are from the last few decades. Given how countries change over time, what they may have done centuries ago is not relevant to the quality of their products today. Like how Made in Japan used to mean utter crap, but now they're now exporting many quality goods - same with South Korea. However, China is largely known for exporting crappy knockoffs and cutting corners today, regardless of what their general quality may have been like in ages past.
The number of complaints against the TSA has also steadily increased during the period when texting has been becoming popular. It's a closed system with only a couple variables, so that must be the cause.
It's possible to get cited for drunk driving even if the car is turned off in a parking lot. It's more about being the person in control of the vehicle than it is about "driving"
If you're texting, it's very easy for the car to roll into the intersection without you noticing simply because it doesn't lurch. Maybe not quite as dangerous as lurching forward, but dangerous nonetheless. We had one fatal accident near hear a couple weeks ago because of something very similar.
It's not just about jerks... a lot of texters can and have caused accidents. A big part of driving is other people behaving in predictable ways so you can maneuver based on how you expect other drives to maneuver. Texting throws off that predictability.

Ok, that should be 12th per capita and countries, not companies... I hate mornings.

I would assume not all features are up and running in the port.

But then managers would hit it every time they went to change their password Post-It.

That's why I love my Logitech G11... it has a "game switch" that basically only serves to disable the Win key.
The same thing that happened to the Intel i2, i4 and i6 processors.

This may be the first relevant "First post". Because it's exactly as useful, effective and accurate as "texting zones"
They could, they just think signs will help. Just like all those "Keep right except to pass" signs that everyone in NY ignores.
I don't know, I've been pretty impressed with my Hyundai. Samsung and LG seem to be doing fairly well too.

Any time we look to China for a superior product, we really should take a step back and think twice about what we're doing.
