Air has a surprisingly high specific heat. It just has a low density.
Most of the stuff I (consciously) put in my fridge doesn't spill out as soon as I open it, either. Cold air does.
My back-of-the-envelope calculations put the energy required to rechill a typical refrigerator's airmass by 20K is in the 10^5 J range, or around 3 watt-hours.
I've had pretty decent VoIP conversations on as little as 15 kilobits per second symmetric connections (about 2 kilobytes), or about half the available speed of your average dialup modem.
Safari - don't have a Mac handy at work, but SVG only recently made it into development versions of WebKit.
Safari 2.0.3 does not render the charts. But then, my copy of FF Deer Park optimized for G4 (but still ridiculously slow!) does not, either -- it gives the "click to install plugin" bar.
Camino 1.0+ renders them perfectly. Camino would rawk if it could support FF extensions.
It's a real problem with dams and the enormous weight of water in their reservoirs
This reminds me of this NOVA episode, about ice dams in North America that repeatedly burst during the last Ice Age -- they caused much of Eastern Washington State to be covered in HUGE ripples ("several hundred feet between crests"), canyons, and stray boulders.
this is just Apple-bashing. Is this a microsofty going "look! other OS's have security updates too"
Quite fiercely not. I'm just as anti-ms as the next/.er, having run OS/2 as of 1994, Linux since 1995, and Mac as of October of this year.
I just submitted the story; I left it up to the/. ops to determine whether it was newsworthy. I haven't even (fully) applied the patch. I've had a HandBrake job running and didn't want to interrupt it with a reboot.
Also there's less wear and tear on the brakes for hybrids
I would contend that friction braking systems on automobiles are among the simplest, cheapest, and easiest to maintain parts of all. My father's Mazda Protege, for example, amassed 160,000 miles of hard, mountainous driving before it needed new brake linings. In the same span of time, it went through four sets of tires.
From TFA: non-hybrids have more mechanical systems to break down
I would LOVE to know where THIS tidbit came from. I can't possibly imagine a way for a parallel hybrid to have fewer mechanical systems than an equally boring driving appliance without a big electric traction motor(s).
when was the last time you read a magazine with wider lines than that? Most publishers know that long lines of text makes it harder for the average person to read.
I read Slashdot in a wide window. I read email in a 179x64 char xterm. I use the pointer to highlight the line I'm reading. This is like reading text on dead tree with a transparent straightedge; finding the next line is easy, plus it gives my mousing hand something to do.

The Nexus 6 is the obvious answer, even if its camera is possibly not as great as the [P|X]. You get pure Android and Qi.
Pickens has been saying this for years. Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, too.

nature doesn't know how to make one critical component: a rotating joint.
I humbly submit the bacterial flagellum, a natural rotating structure.
I expect to see "rear deck spoilers" appearing on pickup tailgates any time now.
It has happened already.
Thank you sir. iTMW will improve my n810 experience.

Sweet!
Too late, the Buddha phone is out there already.

Not surprising. GSM goes down to 6.5kbps!

Needless to say, about the only thing they have in common is the chevron badge... and front-wheel drive.
Like this one for the n810?
of my own lappy case.
I fourth the Grados. I'm on my second pair of SR-60s. The first didn't wear out, a friend liked them so much I had to let him have them.
They go in my laptop bag everywhere. Absolutely the best sound you can get under $100, comfort and style be damned.

I'd get the same effect if I tried driving my car on the freeway with three wheels.
Looks like these guys won't have the same problem.

Off topic, I know, but a great program.

The ICE in a hybrid runs at constant speed and powers a generator.
That would describe a series hybrid. None of the vehicles currently on the mass market is a series hybrid.

10.4.3 fixes the annoying bug that prevents X11 windows from raising to the top when switching apps. Dashboard is noticeably snappier.
But hey, I've only been a Mac owner for three weeks. The Finder still drives me batty.
Uh, not to mention the piles upon piles of research data. We have the Apollo program to thank for all sorts of advancements.
