Yeah, sure Win7's shutdown is reeeaaal optimized...
I tend to use hibernate a lot as it is the best way to transition between home & work (where I have a docking station). I also need it in some circumstances where starting an app at home will fail because it is not connected to the work net but keeping it running works by running on cached info in the app. After a few cycles of this, both shutting down & entering hibernation start taking longer & longer. When I finally decide that a reboot is neccesary I quit every app so nothing is running yet it still takes Win7 up to 15 minutes to shutdown.
You're missing a key point. Patents are only supposed to be granted when the process they describe is inventive & non obvious. Most of us see this patent as being yet another example of an overworked patent examiner rubber stamping yet another uninventive & blatantly obvious process. We tend to be smarmy when we see yet another example of this stupidity.
The German production of tanks was much less material limited than the coward thinks. Their bigger problem was competing designs that were continually being stopped to incorporate changes.
Germany wouldn't have had to ramp up production that much to have made a major difference on the western front. Had they rationalized their production on Panthers & frozen the design after working out the major bugs they could have easily doubled and possibly tripled their production of Panthers. The germans only had 1 panther/tiger to every 2 older tanks deployed. Without even allowing for a larger total number of tanks, had they had 60% panthers victory in the west would have been very much harder & possibly impossible to achieve.
That's funny: The people I've met from Poland, Romania, the Chech Republic & Slovakia not to mention the Slovenes & Croats most all praised the US for bombing the serbs out of oppressing their minorities & neighbors. They saw it as standing up to an opressive bully much like the URSS had been & that they had personal experience of. The younger generation with fewer memories of "the good old days" were generally less supportive however.
Shermans were much more commonly nicknamed "Ronsons" for their likelyhood to brew up when hit yet Shermans won the great majority of their fights against the "better designed" Panzers. As a captured german tank commander one said: Each of our Panzers is better than 10 of yours. Unfortunately for us, you always seem to have a dozen to every one of ours.
The reason that the US had so many Shermans is that they froze the design early and ramped up production. The Germans were continually tweaking their designs, making them "better" and more complicated thereby slowing production to a relative crawl.
The one thing most returning tank commanders regretted about the shermans after the war was not the motor & it's gasoline engine but that it was undergunned. Had they produced more Fireflys with the british 17 pounder many fewer US tanks would have been lost as they would not have had to close to short range (& take the neccesary casualties) to finish off the panzers.
Yup, that's my major disappointment. With 64Gb I can put all of the music in my collection that i rate as good or better & still have room left over. with 32gb it's music or other stuff.
My phone is currently a Sony Ericsson p910 that's starting to get flakey & I was hoping to get a device to replace it, add a decent camera & an ipod.
Scramjets are never going to be of any use in attaining orbit. The accelleration is poor, tops out much too early and are dead weight for the rockets that are really what is needed. As sustainer motors for hypersonic missiles, however they appear promising.
Too bad you're not who I thought. I have a number of muslim friends but none are dumb enough to try and justify imposing the koran over all the belief systems of other people. It would have been fun poking holes...
While not so whacko crazy as many of the muslims calling for the outright assassination of anyone who dares portray Mohammed, you still avoid the central point:
What exactly gives any the muslims the right to judge and condemn my right to pictorialise anyone I like? The muslim prohibition on reproductions of mohammed's image is for muslims only. In any sane modern society, the members of any one sect do not have the right to impose views such as this. If your right to do this comes from the word of the prophet and thus trumps everyone else's rights then you're just as whacko as the other extremists.
Given how Ryanair functions they probably don't care as much as one of the majors. Ryanair is not paying for stranded passengers. Ryanair has relatively little cargo. Ryanair pays it's employees much less when they are not flying. The percentage of Ryanair's bottom line that goes to maintenance it probably more than that of the majors too -- just because their personnel & other "fixed" costs are lower.
That doesn't change the fact that Ryanair covering all their engines is a tad beyond ridiculous. Volcanic ash is only a danger to active reactors. Somebody probably also feels safer when wearing 4 or 5 rubbers when visiting a whorehouse 'cause ya never know...
These are french train workers you are referring to: If it was in any way possible for them to have provoked the volcano into eruption in order for their strike to effect as many people as possible, they would have dons so. The french trainworkers are the only occupation other than lawyers that draws people with such abnormally low levels of empathy for other people.
The airlines are waking up to the fact that not flying at all is more expensive in the long run than avoiding the heaviest concentrations of ash and performing preventive maintenance more often. The heads of KLM, Air France, Lufthansa have been calling on the technocrats who have completely shut down activity in Europe to define at what concentration of ash particles they will allow flights to reopen. Dominique Bussereau, the French transport minister has been catching increasing flack for supporting the shut down of all flights (including turboprops which do not fly at the altitudes the ash is) on precautionary measures. He recently stated "You can't be too careful". Of course, were that really to be the case, he wouldn't be asking his police escort to speed through Paris when he is late for a meeting...
Ah, then place me in the complainers camp. Before making such an important change they needed to make sure that it didn't break the existing themes.
Thanks for the info.
I suspect that the world is more complicated than your worldview allows. When al-queda abandons their "all infidels most die or be enslaved" position I'll welcome them. Until then...
Video taken from the point of view of the designating laser (if it was ground based) can be back-tracked. Even if the video is from the launcher information on the designator used can be determined & be useful in many cases. The less al-queda knows, the better.
It's not even in the code, it's a theme level modification unless I'm mistaken. Nothing is stopping people from adding a "lightright" theme which moves the buttons back & making it popular enough to figure on the first page of the theme addins to make it easy to find & install.
The difference between left & right scrollbars/window decorations is minimal in my opinion. I find that I need move the mouse less when the scrollbar is on the left because text I copy/paste/yank/move is more often on the left & having the scrollbar on the left means it is closer. My preferring the window decorations on the right is just due to habit as I have spent more time on X/Motif/fwcm/Windows than MacOS/OSX.
Thanks for the correction & the wiki URL.
The only quibbles I have with your post are:
- I never proposed anything -- the selective counting was taken from inaccurate reports i read at the time.
- Labeling the election as "stolen" is biased interpretation. The Dems & Reps accepted the ballots going into the election yet once many Gore supporters feel that the only "fair" election results are those that gave the election to Gore. Because, of course only the votes cast for Gore were somehow purer or more valid than those cast for Bush. If the generally accepted method of disambiguating undervote doesn't give the "right" answer, lets try another. If that's not enough, choose another, etc. This attitude has the stink of the end justifies the means that has so often justified humanities worst horrors.
The general bias of the optical undervotes to Gore is something that is new to me. Any idea if this was investigated further to see if any other correlations like "diebold machines which undercounted dems more often were used more in areas which predominantly voted X"?
The funny thing is that the National Enquirer is in the running for this year's Pulitzer having outed former democrat presidential candidate John Edwards as a hypocrite for talking about family values while sleeping with an aide & getting her pregnant.
By defending the right to publish of trash like the Enquirer the US assures that the truth will get out. By muzzling all opposition Chavez displays that he is no better than Pinochet.
further investigation indicated that had the recounts been completed that it would've almost certainly given Gore the necessary votes to win the election.
No. Further investigation by a coalition of newspapers revealed that the only way Gore could have won would have been to cherry pick the districts to be recounted that were favorable to him while disallowing recounts in all the districts that weren't. The supreme court sniffed out the unfairness of this & rightly put a stop to it. This biased method of counting votes is no better than counting "Only whites" or "Only those with a communist party membership card".
