Wow, instead of 1 person per 100000 with Acoustic Neuroma there would be 2! Prevalence rate. If you consider the number of cases it starts sounding insignificant again. In conclusion, doubling the chance of a completely obscure and benign cancer is nothing I would care about.
I don't really know how similar they are, but they're both Slavic languages. In Kiev it didn't matter what language someone would speak in because they would both be understood, but I'm sure it would be a little different in Moscow.
Everyone in Ukraine speaks Russian, many of them don't speak Ukrainian; this is because the Ukrainian language was surpressed during the Soviet era. So learning Russian makes much more sense especially because you can speak it in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and it's also fairly well known in many of the former Soviet satellites. Knowing it will also give a big head start for learning any of the Slavic languages. However, it's extremely difficult to learn, from my limited experience studying it.
German is a good language to know in Europe, but it's usefulness doesn't go much beyond the German speaking countries. You might also want to consider Portuguese, knowing it would be useful for learning any of the romance languages later.
I'm sure many people may know the US produces by far the most CO2 per capita, because Australia isn't real. But I must admit that I do find it amazing that so many people can know things that aren't actually true.
who is this General Baucus? I can't find any information about his quitting, or even his existence, except for this allegation of quitting x-ray due to torture. I'd love to see the government spin but as near as I can tell his quitting is a hoax.
American film producers probably don't care if the Japanese consumer tech firms don't get their cut. Think of EVD as just a more reliable region encoding scheme. As long as there are enough deployed in China there would be no reason not to release on those disks as well.
If you do the math you'll see that a.21 *.21 sheet at 80g/m^2 will weigh 3.528g. And.21 is actually rounded down from the real number derived from the square root of 2. But I'm sure purchasers don't mind the tiny bit extra they get.
Actually, since 1/8oz is 3.5437g, they're still getting a tiny bit shortchanged since the perfect square would way 3.5355. Heh, pointless fun with google's calculator.:P
Perhaps you're thinking of a different USA than the one being discussed. The last time the draft was instituted was during the Vietnam War, a conflict that didn't threaten the existence of the country. Not every American is willing to fight and die to keep their country the most powerful in the world, and there is no reason someone should be expected to.
He said slim majority, you seem to have misread that word as minority. What he said means it was over 50%. The populaces of all other major coalition countries oppose, usually by significant margins, the war -- this includes the UK, Spain, Australia, etc. The populaces of France, Russia and Germany also oppose the war. The only country that is democratically in favor of this war is the USA, everyone else is involved in the fighting is because of their leadership.
The USA's position is to congratulate the visionary leadership of the countries going against public opinion to join the war. It then berates the leadership of other countries for a holding a position that coincides with their own populace (although the Russian and French governments obviously had monetary concerns weighing on them as well as loyalty to their constituents).
The parent poster was saying these countries that are arousing American ire are behaving just like the USA in the beginning of WWII. I'm not sure why you weren't able to understand this. It doesn't take genius to recognize the ironic hypocrisy of expecting countries to fight because of WWII debts at the same time as asking them behave completely opposite of how the debts were incurred.
However, I consider that all a pointless intellectual persuit, because the war in Iraq is not a world war whose effect can't be avoided. There just isn't enough in common with it and WWII to expect the same reasoning for joining the allies.
Uh, only time you lose about 50% of the energy is when initially converting coal to electricity. If you're trying to say transformers lose half the energy going through them (as what? heat? sound? EM?), you're off by about 2 orders of magnitude(or so says my quick google check for "transformer efficiency"). But at 50% out of the power plant you still have 60% of the grid enery to lose before being more innefficent than internal combustion engines.
As a side note, Spokane is powered by hydro-electric power, so these comparisons only cover the %70 of the country using fossil fuel power. You can compare that with the 99% of the country using fossil fueled cars and electric again comes out favorably.
Another nice thing with electric is moving the pollution to outside of a city, making it a smaller public health concern. Also, centralizing it makes it easier to control and clean up.
Well, anyway, what I'm saying is that it's not so absurd as you say.
5 years * 12 months * $500 is only $30000. I don't know this man's social status, but for someone in his social status (technologically proficient supplier of illegal goods) it doesn't seem improbable at all for him to have it "just lying around". He might have to sell his car of rent out his house, but he shouldn't be needing those too badly when he's in the can anyway. Besides, his 5 year term will probably end before 5 years are up. The biggest thing I'm leaving out are his legal bills, which are probably pretty high and could take a huge chunk of whatever it is he has.
I work at Cylant, I was the engineer asked the question about porting to Mac OS X.
I also run Mac OS X at home on my powerbook, so it's not like my answer was put out in an attempt to poison the platform. I do think that Apple's servers can hold their own, they do lack a little variability but they have a great package for the low-middle range.
The above poster was absolutely correct, security in today's market is seen as an afterthought. You have functionality that *must* be provided and if you can find some mechanisms to provide security on your systems that are being put at risk it is only then that security becomes something you are willing to purchase.
The Xserve is a great little server, but most of its installations are internal to provide print and file services. CylantSecure is more targetted to internet servers where Mac OS X isn't making large enough inroads. I work for a computer security vendor, but I know better than to think a security product can be the "killer app" that drives someone to a platform. The most important thing a company has to provide is functionality, security and reliability are for making sure there are no problems with providing the functionality.
Anyway, those are just some qualifications for why I responded with what I did.
The only way the private sector can get the FCC to unlicense or relicense bands is through graft and corruption. The private sector is essentially excluded and at the mercy of the FCC, all they can do is "lobby". I think the 900MHz and 4.3GHz unlicensed bands are an excellent demonstration of the benefits of relaxing bands for general use.
I would prefer if only certain bands were considered off limits instead of only certain bands being considered allowed. Setting a band aside only for broadband might not be a good idea. Look at 4.3 which was set up for anyone who needed it, If it was just a little bit bigger it would work pretty damn well for broadband. Many isps are actually deploying broadband on it anyway for rural areas.
Not to mention that neither firewire or usb2.0 approach that speed. They are 400 megabit/s and 480 megabit/s respectively. I really don't know what the original poster was on. Maybe it was deliberate misinformation, I just don't see the point of that though.
Yes, the counter-revolutionaries must not just be destroyed, they must be removed from history. I loved the phrasing of your post, I just don't know if I supposed to assume you're joking.

You meant to say, "He is only 70."
Full of fish? Maybe you're thinking of something else.

They don't make much money on itms. It's primarily to make ipod the most attractive music platform. Here's an article about it.
Bostream in Sweden. See here, if you can read Swedish, well, you can probably make sense of it either way.
I think poisoning torrents(or other swarm downloads) has more potential. They are much easier to find than password files.

Good rebuttals, both of you!

I really think the subject says it all.
Seriously though, it's real. It has a vga connector and can do 640x480 in 4 glorious shades of gray.

Yeah, the people in Honduras don't deserve personal freedom after all since they aren't white like you... or whatever your "reasoning" is.
Seen minority report?
I don't think he's lost it.

Hah, this was flamebait? Something tells me the moderator only read the all caps sentence. That and/or is dumber than fucking stones.
