Properly balanced (measured in PH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness), chlorinated pool water does not cause corrosion no matter how hot it is or how much chlorine you have in it There is always corrosion. It's all about the rate. If there was some magic combination of pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness that would prevent all corrosion then every nuclear power plant in the world would use that. The best you can do is slow it down.
You are talking about a sacrificial anode. Submarine hulls have zinc blocks all over the inside where seawater might collect in the bilges, because the zinc will corrode first.
I can tell you that chlorinated water will not cause corrosion. Chloride ions are extremely corrosive. They are the major reason that seawater is so corrosive. Stainless steel and aluminum are pretty resistant to chloride corrosion at low pressures and temperatures (such as a pool). Heat that pool water up to about 500 degrees at a couple thousand pounds and then watch what happens.
For many metals, a high (basic) pH reduces the corrosion rate.
If you want metals that really resist chloride corrosion, then you need to look at nickel based alloys: inconel, monel, etc.
Assuming you did something to make sure the recessive gene didn't just strike carriers too, you'd end killing blonds and gingers. What's so bad about that? We all know that gingers have no souls.
Am I the only person who is tired of hearing the phrase "sea change". It's one of those journalist fads that they will cram into every article just because everyone else is using it. Seriously, isn't their any other noun that could be used as adjectives instead?
The Extreme Tech benchmarks seemed to expose a lack of windows XP's ability to benefit from NUMA. I wonder what testing on a newer linux kernel with NUMA scheduler support would show.
The bcm43xx driver included in the kernel can not function without the firmware contained within bcmwl5.sys. So there isn't any way to determine (from this particular article) if the bug affects linux or not.
I was wondering why some guy smart enough and sane enough to develop a filesystem would go and murder his wife.
Extreme stress can do it. Every person has a breaking point. Not everyone breaks in the same manner, but eventually everyone will break. I know that financial problems and a dissolving marriage are huge source of stress. Who knows what else he is dealing with? (who knows if he even did it)
Having portage update my kernel tree doesn't work for me because I always make a few changes to the source, which gets eraticated if portage extracts a new kernel. That automatic console blanking always annoys me. I best solution I found to disable it is to change "blank_inverval" to 0 in drivers/char/vt.c
I DON'T WANT GENTOO FUCKING SOURCES IN THERE. I'll use a vanilla kernel thank you.
I solved that by adding gentoo-sources-2.6.99 to package.provided. I also masked vanilla-sources and gentoo-sources because I do all that myself, I don't need portage messing with my kernel sources.
Except it's not a very good comparison. He relates Japan to Nintento and two Nintendo consoles to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Those two consoles where things Nintendo did to itself. Not at all like having someone else drop something on you.
Ever since multitasking was supported at the OS level, we've had the marvelous ability to work on more than one thing at a time.
That should read: "our computers had the marvelous ability to work on more than one thing at a time." (even that isn't always true if you really want to nitpick). Computers multitask well; humans do not. Even if you think you are more productive when you multitask, youreallyaren't.
The point however isn't if it is better or not to maximize a window. The point is the web designer should never make that decision for the user. Properly written HTML is written to render efficiently on any user agent. You never know, your reader might be browsing the web on a mobile phone, text only browser or a braille interface. Bad use of markup languages only serves to reduce the number of people who can efficiently access the information you are publishing.
If you have a 1600x1200 monitor and still keep your browser window maximized, you're an idiot.
What if you happen to only be working on one thing at the time you want to read a webpage? Besides this misses the entire point of a markup language. A web page should always render to the size of the viewport the user has chosen. That was one of the original design goals.

Red Power!
you must be new here
I've noticed recently that nearly every story I listen to in the morning on NPR as I drive to work later turns up on Slashdot.
Must be a significant overlap between the audiences

Wonko the Sane was a minor character from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It's a username I started using in high school and never found a reason to change.

I think the nintendo wii eposide had the best south park quote in recent memory.
Try searching for "google censorship" and it shows:
Web Pages - about 190,000
And relevent wikipedia articles
I guess it works.

I think the original poster had a case of "everyone thinks it, but we shouldn't say it out loud".
That wasn't in the original post. He added it later.
But honestly, how many people would think that even if it wasn't posted on the front page?
It happens sometimes. Not all my computers have X installed. Sometimes I use those computers and SSH into the other ones. Depends what room i'm in.
