More than cool, actually, as it means you can (to a certain extent) cheat the system. If you could scale it up to use 30W of power to generate 70W of light, and in the process remove 40W of heat from the room, and then dump the 70W as heat (absorption) back into the room it would be easier to cool the room in summer, but have little effect in the winter (except that you'd be using - hopefully - a more efficient heat source than electrical resistance)
I won't hold my breath for one of these being in Home Depot any time soon, but the idea is pretty neat.
I tend to agree with you - that bullying is rampant, and has moved on to more sinister and subversive areas with the advent of social networking. However, the authorities acted in an entirely inappropriate manner. There are rules on bullying, and there are consequences - including in-school disciplinary measures/counciling, suspension and/or expulsion. There was no need for the action taken, and no good justification. She did or did not post bullying remarks, and if she did she should be subject to the school code. No need for anything else.
If the bullying was actual threats, then they may refer it to the local authorities for assault charges, but it should then go through the proper channels. That would mean serving papers to the legal guardians at her residence.
They screwed up, and the ACLU will have them for lunch.
Different condition - your example is when the child is a victim, not accused of a crime. I believe (but cannot cite) that the law is different in those two circumstances.
It shouldn't matter since it's not a carrier model like a phone would be. If it's true that you can use the HSPA/GSM radio as a "world" model, even on the Verizon unit, you should be able to just slap in a pre-paid (any carrier) uSim and logon.
I guess I'll find out. I bought one of each, and if the V version works with my AT&T sim, I'm keeping it. If not, it's getting returned (or resold if Apple runs out of them) and I'm keeping the AT&T one. I don't use much data right now, and AT&T is $180/year cheaper.
On the contrary, most of those suck if you're not a tech geek. I've tried 3-4 different boxes, and the ATV2 was the simplest to set up and the simplest for my family to use, without needing constant hand holding. I got a Roku and practically nothing worked on it. I even set up the ATV2 and Roku side by side and the Roku streaming choked on Netflix while the ATV streamed without stopping to buffer every couple of minutes. At the time, they were both $99. Guess which one got sold on eBay?
I've also tried WMC, XBMC, Popcorn Hour, and one or two other (though it's been a couple of years). None of them are as simple as the AppleTV with Plex for streaming local media. FWIW, I did try the Plex client on Roku and, at least for a month after the release of the current gen of players, Plex was hopelessly broken. It may have been fixed by now.
Screw 20". Send me a 30" monitor with 6144x4608 resolution. If the smallest model is $500, and half of that is the screen (doubtful it's that much), that would put it at only $2250. Then I just need a computer with a thunderbolt interface to drive that many pixels.
So, there are two models, an AT&T one and a Verzon one, but they both have UMTS/HSPA/GSM bands that would cover the "world" but also AT&T 3G service.
So, can I buy the Verizon model and slip in an AT&T card for now? 4G won't get to my area for a couple of years yet, but Verizon is more likely to have the better coverage when it happens.
If you go to the Apple Store...it's just the new iPad there, too. The Air and the MacBook aren't distinguished by numbers, maybe they're going that way with portable devices, too.
If it gets real applications, I'm all over that (presuming that Plex creates one for it). I've got three of the previous model JB for video distribution, and it's pretty darned awesome. Not having to worry about JB or unofficial apps would be a nice bonus. (Not that the guys building the ATV app aren't awesome, 'cause they are, but getting an official app would be really, really great)
I have this strange feeling that somebody got a really big bonus near the beginning of that move for the forethought and insight needed to expand the capital base of the combined operations. Now it's time to pay for the error, but that bonus money is already well offshore and out of harms way by now.
Surprisingly, this is very relevant and a major issue for groups which use material created by others. It's much more relevant today with making physical copies (and digital ones) so easily. It strikes directly to the heart of whether copyright is a very literal thing or whether it's a concept.
For example: musical groups - especially amateur ones - to comply with copyright law effectively need to purchase a copy of an arrangement for each member of the group. My group buys a few extra, for guests and new members. We might only have 40 members, but we typically purchase 50 copies. Often we buy a master and a license that lets us make the reproductions (for low volume charts, a production run is not feasible). Sometimes we make minor changes - interpretations involving tempo, pauses, minor musical changes. To keep current we have to manually annotate 50 copies. We can't for example, make a modification and hand it out, or make a second set with markings for stage direction for everyone to have. The question is whether it matters that we can make these teaching tools. There are only 40 of us and we bought a copy for every single person - does it really matter if I give each man an extra copy with our special data overlayed? How about if I deliver it by PDF? Do I have to pay a fee every time a man downloads the pdf - say if he's not savvy and just looks at the music on his computer, re-downloading it into the browser's reader form the website's "members only" area every time he wants to practice. That doesn't appear to be the intent...but it appears to be the law.
This matters for a law firm. If they purchase the right to a copy of the work, then annontate it and send to to everyone - either on paper or digitally - have they made more "copies" for the purpose of copyright. Let's say they pay for a copy for every lawyer and consultant on the case. If a consultant marks up the one he receives, then makes a copy and mails it back to the original lawyer, is that an infringing copy? If the original lawyer bought a copy for everyone, and the consultant makes a copy and sends it back - has a copy been made? (Yes) Is there any value in the copy? Maybe...the recipient already owns one, and has paid for it so is getting another copy (presumably for use in the original context) really infringing?
I don't match any of these averages, so the study is not just flawed and useless but completely misleading! I was up all night just thinking about what I was going to complain about on slashdot today and got less than 2 hours of sleep. These "researchers," if you can even call them that, have absolutely no f*ing idea how taxing it can be to be an internet gadfly.
The problem with 0.7psi is that it's 100PSF. 100PSF is about 2.5x the live load that house floors are designed to carry (it's actually an assembly load - think theater exits and dance clubs).
An architect I know wants to take a year sabbatical to do a bottom-to-top trek, "starting" at the bottom of the trench and "ending" at the top of Everest. He hasn't figured out exactly how to get funding for the dive portion...maybe he can hitch a ride?
Yeah, I know. I was a bit worried that somebody wouldn't get the joke. Personally, I really do have a nice set of earbuds (UM3X*), and I still can't really make any claims of hearing differences above ~200-220 kbps on mp3. My original rips of my 400 CD collection were to MP3Pro when it first came out. Yeah, I know. It was a time-expensive, if valuable lesson. I re-ripped to FLAC, and was rewarded later when I moved to iProducts and iTunes by simply being able to transcode to ALAC. And I know that someday if I decide to change again, I'm just a few hours away from being in a completely new format, not having to worry that multiple transcodings could lead to stuff that I _could_ hear.

That would be the same people who don't give numbers to their laptops. It seems to be working for them.

Yeah, I understand. You need Android 'cause you're too much of a pussy to jailbreak it yourself.
Yes, but then you'd have to carry around two laptops.
Same as current iPad2 (10h, 9h with 4G).
Screw 20". Send me a 30" monitor with 6144x4608 resolution. If the smallest model is $500, and half of that is the screen (doubtful it's that much), that would put it at only $2250. Then I just need a computer with a thunderbolt interface to drive that many pixels.

So, can I buy the Verizon model and slip in an AT&T card for now? 4G won't get to my area for a couple of years yet, but Verizon is more likely to have the better coverage when it happens.
And, compared to the iPad2 event, I'm going to say that is a good thing. It has what has been rumored, for the most part.
If you go to the Apple Store...it's just the new iPad there, too. The Air and the MacBook aren't distinguished by numbers, maybe they're going that way with portable devices, too.

It has more to do with the ability to accurately reconstruct the analog waveform (sound) when played back.
I have this strange feeling that somebody got a really big bonus near the beginning of that move for the forethought and insight needed to expand the capital base of the combined operations. Now it's time to pay for the error, but that bonus money is already well offshore and out of harms way by now.

CS5.5 Master, Educational = $899. Shame the couldn't get in on the 80% off sale last week!
Luckily, air cushions have huge hysteresis losses which tend to act as dampers.
