I think a PLC is equivalent to an AG rather than GmbH. Not sure about the US definitions, a corporation rather than an LLC? Anyway, a PLC (Public Limited Company) has shares traded on the stock exchange whereas a normal limited (Ltd) company doesn't.
I did mean TFS rather than TFA, but the title of the story/summary is "iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK". The only body doing any rebuking is the ASA, so it's pretty clear the submitter thinks the ASA is part of the government. Maybe you should read the title more carefully?
They absolutely are manufacturing it, by claiming the ASA is a government body. It isn't,; it was set up and is funded by industry. TFA is nothing but a troll.
Given it's already happened and it wasn't "something sill with the encryption keys" the odds of it being that are exactly zero. You can actually find out what happened by reading TFA. Isn't that amazing? It would take you all of two minutes. Then instead of sitting there spewing ill-informed shit to the world you might have half a clue what's going on.
I've found wireless to be much easier on a Mac than on anything else. On XP it's an abomination. Ubuntu is tolerable. Mac OS is trivial. Video conferencing? Umm, yeah. iChatAV comes pre-installed. IIRC it's automagically set up with the account you create when you first set up. You select who you want to talk to and it works. It was much, much harder than that on XP last time I tried.
An Elite clone? Wow. If the open source community can clone a game written for an 8-bit micro by two people 24 years ago surely it won't be long till there is a superior clone of GTA 4.
What don't you understand? Other than the hacks (which are hacks, so are almost by definition obscure) it all looks pretty straightforward to me, the rules have very clear meanings if you know CSS. If you don't know what auto margins or relative positioning do then you simply haven't bothered to learn. Is there a specific non-hack line you don't get? The fact that some versions of IE have horrible implementations which require hacks is hardly CSS's fault.
Did you actually read the example you gave? That example contains two ways of doing it and browser-compatibility hacks. The actual 3 column layouts are three or four lines of CSS. There's another four lines of IE-specific hacks. It simply isn't a hard problem.
Is there anything as exhaustive as Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference available for free on-line? I'm not doing web programming professionally at the moment, but a couple of years ago nothing on-line even got close.
While it is possible for an artist to succeed with marketing on their own, no small acts have access to the marketing channels that the big companies have -- and so it is unlikely that an artist can succeed in marketing their own product.
While an independent band may not have access to all the same marketing channels as a big label, that doesn't mean they don't have access to enough of those channels. It's not free to hire professional help with promotion, but it's not free to press your own CDs either. It's even possible to have a Number 1 without a record company, musical talent or money by following the steps in The Manual. The book is a bit dated now (1988), but it does give detailed steps of how The Timelords[1] achieved a UK Number 1 single. It tells you how to get your music recorded, promoted, played on the radio and sold in shops without using a record company. The doing it with no money bit it predicated on actually achieving number 1, but it provides a musical formula to assure success - that may not apply if you have aspirations to musical credibility, but the rest will. It's a better read than it sounds.
In the tugging and smashing and pushing options there will be gravitational interactions with other bodies. I wasn't suggesting a space-probe-style close flyby as an alternative to those three options, merely pointing that such energy exchange happens. You seem to think any difference in the end result between tugging, smashing and pushing would represent free energy or perpetual motion, which completely ignores energy exchange with other bodies through gravitational interactions. Those interactions will not be identical in the tugging, smashing and pushing scenarios and nor will the final outcome.
You're adding this to the objects' orbital velocity, which will be of similar magnitude to that of Earth (30km/s), which makes it 23 significant decimal figures, which is 70 bits. They really are worried about a variance that small on a number that large, because those are the magnitudes of the things they are simulating.
So, basically, you are somehow getting more energy out of the system than you put in.
The system in question is the solar system, not just the probe and asteroid. You can steal energy by changing the orbits of other bodies, it's common practice. Cassini, for example, changed the orbits of Venus and Earth to help it get to Saturn. The changes to the orbits of Venus and Earth were of course immeasurably small, so it does look rather like a "free lunch".
The great thing about real newsreaders is that you could keep the thread tree and discussion visible at once and efficiently navigate between messages. The screen real-estate was used and updated efficiently. I only ever had to scroll for long messages - otherwise it was just hit "n" for the next unread message and space to page through it. There's just so much clicking and scrolling with web forums it's hugely inefficient. If you add keyboard navigation and keep the tree view visible (and showing the right part of the tree) at all times it might be tolerably close to a usenet client in terms of reading efficiency. Looks to be a decent effort so far though.
Calling for the rape of two women is hateful. There is no gray area here. There's nothing sacred about this "speech" that deserves to be protected, nor do the authors deserve any protection. Racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of oppression need to be rooted out of society.
Yes, and let's not forget mocking basket weavers and people whose occupations include making plastic key lanyards and those short people who play huge basses and women who don't apply their lipstick tastefully and people with bad haircuts and, and....
You can choose whether to be a basket weaver, make plastic key lanyards, play the bass or apply lipstick. You can't choose your race, gender or sexuality.
Once it becomes apparent that so many "dirty little secrets" are the norm rather than the exception, it is the freakishly clean ones who will be viewed with suspicion.
Popular culture. Sounds like a no-brainer to me that a young, melting-pot culture would be far better placed to churn out popular culture for the world than an ancient, more insular culture.
Unless you know some special reason why all the hydrocarbons are counted as crude oil, except the ones that are gasses?
The special reason is that some of them are gasses (around STP). Gasses and liquids require different handling and processing to one another. The distinction is anything but arbitrary.
They use this curves to make a voltage->charge conversion.
But take a look at them, and guess what will happen if there is only small calibration error/battery defect/heat influence, that shifts the voltage a few 10mV: Suddenly, you might already be on the curve sloping down while the device still thinks its in the middle of the platau.
This is precisely why terminal voltage is not typically used as a measure of battery charge state for li-ion batteries (except for indicating full and empty). Thanks to the battery's internal resistance, terminal voltage varies with current too. Instead of just measuring the terminal voltage, the current flowing into and out of the battery is measured and integrated it to maintain an estimate of the charge level. ICs which can do this accurate to a few percent (in terms of charge level - the current measurement is far, far more accurate) cost a couple of dollars and come in packages a few mm on a side. You might need a current sense resistor too, but you're only looking at tens of square millimetres and a couple of dollars for an accurate fuel gauge. A shade too big and costly for a mobile phone battery, but not too big for a mobile phone.
Don't most laptops give you a time-left indication these days? I've not got a Windows laptop, but my Mac and Linux ones both do. The time left indication when fully charged does indeed reduce with reducing battery capacity, so the reduction in capacity isn't exactly hidden. If your battery meter didn't show full when it was full to whatever capacity it currently has, how would you know when it was charged?
Hint: Rally is done in whatever works. Porsche won the 1986 Paris-Dakar rally in a modified 959, which was a fancy ass version of the 911 sports car (smallish, but not what the guy in 2nd expected to be following)
And just a few weeks ago, Porsche won 9 of the top 10 spots on the Transsyberia rally from Moscow to Mongolia with a bunch of Cayenne S *SUV's*. (The ones old "purist" Porsche fans love to hate) Toyota made it into 7th with one car. Subaru was completely missing from the top 10. oops.
since your confusion about rallies seems to have prevented you from doing a 20 second search of Google before spouting such silliness in public.
Absolutely, rally teams choose the most appropriate tool for the job. If you have to race across tundra or desert with no roads, like the Trans-Siberian Rally, you pick an off-road vehicle with high ground clearance, like an SUV. If you have to race along stages of roads or tracks with poor surfaces, like the WRC, you don't need the ground clearance so the high COG of an SUV is a liability. Very few people in the West actually have to drive where there are no roads, the worst most people have to deal with is dirt tracks, snow and ice. For those conditions, rally teams invariably pick small, agile cars - hatchbacks or saloons, never SUVs. When given substantial freedom to design a vehicle specifically for these conditions, the design diverges even farther from an SUV - just look at Group B cars like the Ford RS200 for the optimum design for a vehicle to deal with roads and tracks in all weather conditions. An RS200 or Subaru Imprezza may not do too well fording a river or climbing a mountain, but they would shit all over an SUV on a snowy road.
It's crap if you put it in a 60W system (which is just plain stupid for an Atom as it's not a desktop CPU), but if you put in in a 20W system it makes more sense. Put it in a 10W system and it makes a hell of a lot of sense.

2.25 billion is the budget for the entire USAC, which supports a whole lot more than just the Navajo's interwebs.

Are you suggesting the Northbridge does some of the work normally done by the CPU? I thought Intel just hadn't got a very efficient chipset yet.
