Correct. The note B# does not really exist. The note a half-step up from B is C. Like double-sharps and double-flats, a B# would only really be found as an accidental (and it would be played as a C).
Funny part, second biggest cause of spam? firefox users that have yahoo accounts. The malware guys have figured out how to get Firefox to load an invisible iFrame that lets them load the Yahoo account and silently spam their address book while they look at "free porn" sites thanks to infected ads. This trick doesn't seem to work on the other browsers, not even IE, and it don't seem to work with hotmail nor Gmail, just Yahoo and FF.
What do you bet that all it takes is a POST to the correct URL and if they're logged in an e-mail is sent from their account...
Okay, still missing some way of getting the address book contacts. I'd have thought that cross-site scripting restrictions would prevent them doing that.
And hang it all, they should be using private browsing sessions to watch porn anyway.
It just means you're digging deeper on the other end. It'd be no different than your average sewer system here in the US, which are usually gravity-run with lift stations, and they serve some fairly uneven terrain.
Who says the pipe has to be level? Water goes downhill pretty well on its own.
Dump it in one end and wait for it to come out the other, then pump it back up to ground level; no need to push it with regular water or anything complicated like that.
It doesn't take a jury to decide whether someone broke the law. In fact... if you want to decide whether the accused broke the law, a bunch of random people dragged in off the street who are likely to be completely ignorant of the law would just about be the last group of people qualified to decide that.
Those so-called "disparaging comments" create a hostile work environment, which alone constitute illegal retaliation. Given that your employer was already retaliating against you, any judge or jury would likely take a rather dim view of him firing you without very good cause.
If the slightest indication is made that your boss is in any way upset about your having to serve on jury duty, document it meticulously and you'll have a very solid case later if, say, you're let go without an extremely good reason.
Nullification is a jury ignoring the law in favor of their personal preferences.
Correct.
That is not what a jury is there to do. They are not charged with weighing what the law says, only whether it applies and whether the defendant is guilty of it.
Wrong. Absolutely and unarguably false, and quite frankly a dangerous lie.
"If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offence is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is bound to obey an unjust law." -- Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone
It is not only the juror's right, but his duty, to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment and conscience, though in direct opposition to the directions of the court.-- John Adams
Jury nullification is our last defense against tyranny. When the legislative branch creates unjust laws, the judicial branch allows them to stand, and the executive branch enforces them, it is the juror's moral duty to refuse to convict. That is the sole reason for juries to exist. -- Me
The whole point is that it's not irrelevant to the discussion. You get something moving really fast, and then it becomes a ballistic projectile. An ICBM is a perfectly valid example of an inter-continental projectile.
From the context of this thread, it's clear that "projectile" is being used... to mean something that does not propel itself.
A ballistic missile does not propel itself for the majority of its flight.
A ballistic missile has a rocket engine and propels itself.
It does for a short period of time, during its launch. It does not during its ballistic flight.
"Ballistic" doesn't imply "projectile."
Yes, it does.
"ballistic" 1: of or relating to ballistics or to a body in motion according to the laws of ballistics
"ballistics" 1a: the science of the motion of projectiles in flight
b: the flight characteristics of a projectile
Anything that includes the word "ballistic" by definition must have most, or at least a significant part, of its motion be non-powered and propelled only by its inertia.
A ballistic missile is a missile that follows a sub-orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target. The missile is only guided during the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight and its course is subsequently governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics.
There's a short time in which it is guided and powered. The rest of the time, it's a projectile, no different from a cannonball (which also was guided and powered for a short time).
You'd probably think it impractical to go through the history and click "Forget About This Site" for sites which you don't want it remembering you visited. Which, in my case, is most of the sites I don't frequent.

A Kilt is No True Skirt
FTFY.
Yes, but aren't they half notes?
The correct term is "semitone"... half note means something entirely different.
There's no one answer. Google "notes in an octave" and you'll find both answers. Frankly, I don't care. It's just a bad question.
Better question: find the odd one out.

Plain Old Text doesn't prevent you from using HTML. It just intelligently converts white space to HTML.
The only mode that prevents you from using HTML is "Extrans (html tags to text)".
Just change it here and be done:

I always keep the posting mode set to "Plain Old Text". I can't imagine why anyone would want it set to anything else, actually.
By disabling the D2 system.
Or right-click "Reply to This" and open it in a new tab, to bypass the Javascript and get the old posting form.
With a username like "iluvcapra", I'd certainly hope you got it.

That wasn't true when you could buy heroin in drug stores. Why do you suppose it's true now that you can't?

also some people can't take time out of work to do jury duty
Their employer is required, by law, to give them time off for jury duty.
Nullification is a jury ignoring the law in favor of their personal preferences.

You haven't added the atom feed?
Exactly. That's my first assumption, too. Haven't more people seen S1M0NE?

You're missing the point.
In real life, a soldier who commits war crimes might be held accountable for those crimes.
In order to mimic reality, a game might penalize your character/avatar based on actions you've performed in-game.
E.g. in the America's Army game, if you kill too many of your virtual teammates, your character will end up in a virtual Leavenworth Prison.
Nothing happens to you, but it's still a deterrent.
