First, you lambast the president for acting like a king, for deciding which of the laws he should follow, and which he should not.
And now, you lambast the congress for authorizing such arbitrariness. I mean, did you ever really think that the Republican Congress would not pass acts enabling wiretapping and dismantling oversight, enabling torture and disabling oversight, enabling arbitrary arrests, and disabling oversight.
Face it, the Republican Congress won't save you from the excesses of a dictator, because they like what he dictates.
In obsolete units. the bmi calculation is BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches ) ) x 703
but in metric, it's
BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters ) x ( Height in Meters ) )
The latter calculation is convenient and quick. A good way of quickly estimating the over all health of individual. The nonsense with the inches and the pounds is slightly less so-- and the slight bit of extra effort diminishes the "quick and dirty" appeal of the BMI.
ah, it's amazing how so many conspiracy theories have been brought to my attention through slashdot postings. Apparently, ithis particular linked in with Christian eschatology or some such nonsense.
Might I point out that the Romans used an especially inaccurate calendar, and it was not until 46 BCE that the somewhat more familiar Julian system was adopted?
360 happens to be an easy number to use. It's not especially accurate, but correcting the error requires some knowledge of astronomy, as well a certain amount of political power. Now, it may be that a number of civilizations adopted a 365 day year at approximately the same time. Perhaps some of them were trading partners.
I bought a faster computer for Office A so I could juggle multiple windows and apps more quickly. On Office B's 1600 x 1200 pixel screen, I don't need to juggle at all. I've even got extra turf to keep background tasks onscreen. If I get an instant message while on deadline, I can scan it in my peripheral vision without moving my hands on the keyboard. If I need to reply, I don't have to shove my work aside. I can keep an eye on inbound e-mail while writing and click to zap an annoying song from iTunes without fumbling for the application. I've even squeezed an analog clock and a weather widget into a spare corner so I needn't remember to check them.
HD-DVD and Bluray are both 1920*1080. Granted, Bluray calls their implementation "Beyond High Definition". 1080p sets are still a bit more expensive than your run of the mill 1366x768 set.
There was a BBC study that suggested 1280*720 was good enough for most people, based on studies of visual accuity. The study suggested that viewers would continue to watch television from a long way off. (The 16*9 aspect ratio was in part selected to encourage people to sit closer to the screen).
an aquaintance of mine was interested in basing a wargame on modern day protest movements. One of the sources he planned to use was a19-- an adhoc organization devoted to producing some sort of protest march on august 19th (of some year). They had a website called a19.org. It was no longer of any value to them, and the domain eventually found its way into the hands of a net parasite.
You know the type:
You searched for quantum chromodynamics. Would you like to buy flowers instead?
and of course, robots.txt was used to block the really interesting stuff that was published on a19.org.
but I can't do it without your help. My criticisms will be lost in the crowd of largely positive reviews. But if I get a sneak peak, I'll beat the rush...
And what will they do when Windows looses market share ( and it will because it will be in the position of being the only door maker that cannot put lock on its doors because of the bouncer union )
If I want to replace the default door locks on my door with Medeco locks, I should be able to.

Users of 32 bit windows expect backwards compatibility. Redesigning the driver interface to plug all of the security holes would break this compatibility.
However, 64 bit windows is incompatible with 32 bit kernel mode drivers (the speed penalty would be too great). Users and vendors know that at least recompilation will be necessary, and this gives Microsoft an excuse to redesign the relevant APIs.
IIRC, linux driver developers know that binary compatibility is, at best, a nice bonus. This understanding allows the kernel developers more freedom to fix bugs.
It looks very similar to the fancy animations the accompany "fast user switching".
Let us presume that as a typical multitasker, you've got 9 or 10 terminals, a web browser, a hexeditor, a tex viewer, a pdf viewer, xchat, a debugger, and email open. I don't know why-- perhaps you like to write Latex documentation and code at the same time. The email is open because it's email. The web browser and acrobat-- for consulting API manuals. Xchat for collaboration. Even though you have a large monitor, some of those windows are going to obscure others.
You could categorize the apps to together by task, and assign a virtual desktop to each task, if you were running linux or freebsd. But on the mac, all the windows are on one screen. Expose allows you to temporarily shrink all the windows to fit on one screen without overlaps.This doesn't help much with terminal or xterm windows (at a distance bash shells all look alike), but it will allow you to pick out the emacs window, or the mail window, or safari quite quickly.
Job's philosophy seems to be that housekeeping is best left up to the computer. Virtual desktops force you to think "this is how I want to arrange my workspace". Sometimes virtual desktops are optimal, but sometimes they just get in the way.
A good many computer programs seem to be designed around a minimum resolution of 1024*768-- a coarser resolution can mess up the layout, or crowd user elements together. 1024*768 is far beyond what a standard definition TV can deliver, and the SVideo interface doesn't help. A modern HDTV offers (typically) 1366*768 resolution and HDMI (which can be converted from DVI with a simple dongle). It's a natural fit. And if the screen is large enough, you may not have to use a bigger font.
The HDTV market share is larger than you might think. Some (perhaps naively) predict 25% market penetration.
All that does is show the KR was more successful. If Hebollah got its way, they'd make KR's killing fields look like a picnic. That's not a disservice to those slaughtered by the KR, it should serve to remind everyone what godless hate can do.
I was looking through Pfizer's site, and it looks like 240 mg is the 24 hour version.
Directions adults and children 12 years of age and over: swallow one whole tablet with fluid every 24 hours do not exceed one tablet in 24 hours do not divide, crush, chew or dissolve the tablet the tablet does not completely dissolve and may be seen in the stool (this is normal) not for use in children under 12 years of age
But at the same time, I feel for you. I used to have crippling allergy attacks every spring quarter as a College student. I don't follow Ohio news any longer, but I don't see any reason why the government would not have succumbed to meth hysteria.
Speaking of Ricin, US Patent 3060165 "Preparation of Toxic Ricin" is a famous example of a redacted patent. It is available from European sources, though not from the USPTO.
Although ricin has been prepared in crystalline conditions in the laboratory in small quantities, it becomes necessary for purposes of toxological warfare to prepare relatively large quantities in a high state of purity. This neccesitates that as much as possible of the nontoxic material present be removed in the process.
This document, however, implies that the production method described in the patent results in a impure mixture of various denatured proteins.
Exactly how high is the resolution of those signature scanners? The visual feedback implies that it very low indeed, verging on "featureless blob" for certain styles.
Linux 2.1.0 was released on 30 September 1996. After 132 2.1 releases and 9 2.2 prereleases, Linux-2.2 was released on 26 Jan 1999. The 1.2 and 1.3 development cycles predate slashdot.source
Yes, people mentioned the earlier kernels, but there were no "1.3.x kernel released. Grab and Build" type articles.
Looking at "top", I see 71 processes, most of them tiny and idle. I didn't launch them all--my os did, because I told it I wanted an indexed hard drive, that I wanted to distribute certain files to other computers on my network... A good OS can be written to take advantage of multiple idle cores.

I suspect that most bills are not even read by many of the members, let alone debated upon.

hd-dvd and bluray support 1920*1080 resolution. 720p is only 720*1280. Granted, 1080p sets cost more than 720p sets.

Hmm. Is "Party of God" supposed to be ironic?
even 1/2-strength ricin is more lethal than many toxins.
"half -strength" may be an exceptionally optimistic yield. The patent doesn't address the efficiency of the process.
If you call red tape, delays, and bloated bureaucracies "working," sure. Seasonal allergies can be cripplingly severe.

Yes, people mentioned the earlier kernels, but there were no "1.3.x kernel released. Grab and Build" type articles.
So your typical desktop user is running *NIX compilers all the time? Intel is talking about PC desktops, not workstations.
Has this place changed that much? I remember when the 2.1 tree was slashdotted on a weekly basis.
Looking at "top", I see 71 processes, most of them tiny and idle. I didn't launch them all--my os did, because I told it I wanted an indexed hard drive, that I wanted to distribute certain files to other computers on my network... A good OS can be written to take advantage of multiple idle cores.
