A pretty bold statement considering how little time we've really understood radioactive materials enough to study them and how many new things we're still finding out about physics.
Is there any way we could harness the power of solar flares to provide energy (either for space-based installations or to beam back to Earth)? Now if we know when they're coming farther in advance, it seems we could better take advantage of them. Not a continuous stream of energy, to be sure, but it a boost every now and then could help take the load off other sources of energy.
That's good or excellent job. It'd be like 54% of a class getting an A or B. Of course, if the other 46% gets an F, then it's bad. However, if the other 46% is C's, then it's pretty decent.
I agree. If you can't add, subtract, multiply, divide and use algebra, then you won't last. However, I've never needed anything remotely as advanced as even precalculus (although I don't do a little of programming).
The netinst allows you to install a GUI (one of the options it gives). By default, it installs GNOME, although you can change that to xfce, lxde or kde with an option at boot.
Then corporations will get the same flag because, hey, they must be credible with all those lawyers and money. Then when a corporation does steal your stuff (which happens disturbingly often), you're SOL.
We've had several hard drive failures in the last few months and I've used HP's online chat every time to get them replaced. When I call HP, I'm usually on the phone for a t least 15 minutes listening to on-hold music. On the Chat, my wait is rarely more than two minutes. On the downside, I'm often waiting for them to respond, but it's easier for me to do other things while waiting on the chat than it would be on the phone.
Google, on the other hand, will be on hot waters especially with the recent purchase of Motorola Mobility.
Er, this isn't a retroactive bill... not to mention legal costs (while big numbers to us) don't mean a whole lot to a company like Google. $40 million in lawyer fees? Drop in the bucket.
Google posted around $2.7 billion in profits for Q4 of 2011, so let's figure they make around $10 billion in profits per year. $40 million out of $10 billion in profit is like Joe Average taking home $50,000/yr and spending $200 on lawyer fees. (An imperfect analogy, but it shows how little Google's profit margin is hurt by lawyer fees.)
It sounds like you have some pretty major implementation problems at work. Outlook is a long way from perfect, but it's certainly not the worst client I've ever used. I'll take it over GroupWise any day and it gives Thunderbird a run for its money on many fronts.
Hotmail had 8.5 million users when MS acquired... not bad for 1997. At the time, Hotmail may have been a stronger name than Outlook. At any rate, Outlook has generally been aimed at business users while Hotmail has been aimed at home users. But I agree that they still should have done this at least 10 years ago.
Most people seem to understand the difference between Outlook Web Access and Outlook, so I don't think they'll have a problem with Outlook.com vs Outlook.... although Outlook.com and OWA may be confused now.
I'm not a parent yet, but I'm hoping by the time I am they come up with a pill that will turn your skin bright purple if you don't eat enough vegetables.
At that point, the effort to fool it exceeds the effort to take the pills. There will always be people who will work harder to avoid work than to just do the work in the first place but I think most of these people just don't want to be bothered to remember to take the pill more than anything else.
I've also heard that warm air (caused by your body temp, for example) tends to create a very thin insulating layer on the surface of your skin. The movement of air breaks up the insulating layer, allowing more heat to escape.

Does this mean CERN is behind global warming?
In other words, people like it when bad things happen to other people but not themselves.

Coming soon to an Alabama city near you.

In addition to being cooler than the 1920's, we're also hipper, awesomer and dress much better.

I'm thinking a 25 year old Scotch would be appropriate.
Might not hurt to have it delivered by a 25 year old blonde.
Better give them nukes.

" two Republican congressmen seek to introduce a bill"
"Introduced by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and co-sponsored by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT),"
So the parties are officially merged now?
Nice to know it's worth more than the Nobel Peace Prize. I hear you can get that just for having the potential to do something.
So you're saying it's a wall street gravity distortion field?

Don't worry, nobody that doesn't pay Microsoft will be able to read your email.
