I'm very glad the project is going forward. But, 10 years?! I have to think the turnaround time could be improved with a little effort, imagination, and courage.
I highlight to come back to a passage. I don't choose the most poignant prose to highlight, but the most descriptive for where I am in the book.
It seems like a lot of the highlighting that is going on is just piling on -- people highlight passages because other people do.

This happens quite often in Scotland.
My impression of hardware engineers (at least where I work) is that they tend to be more politically conservative and more likely to stay married. Those that tend to be libertarian also seem to be social conservatives. I also get the impression that software engineers are more progressive or libertarian. No idea how common this is.
I find these notebook hard drives to be great for a portable music collection. I just copy my home iTunes folder to a notebook drive in a USB enclosure, and take it to work. I can't put songs on my work hard drive (backing up costs money), but no problem if I take the hard drive with me. I also rip exclusively in lossless formats.
"U.S. Consumers Willing to Pay More When Nobody's Looking
While freeloaders appear to be as prevalent in the U.S. as in the rest of the world, the U.S. paying customer is willing to pay far more ($8.05 per download) than his international counterpart ($4.64). The difference could be attributed to the fact that U.S. consumers generally have more disposable income, but possibly also to the greater popularity of free file-sharing in other countries."
Yeah, could also be that the donation asked for was denominated in pounds, not dollars.
t/Space has asked for $400 million to develop this system, to be completed by 2008. After that, it would cost about $20 million to launch a mission. This date is far in advance of the 2014 date (or the 2010 date) proposed for the CEV.
Given that a space shuttle mission costs over $800 million, this seems like a great idea for a human-only shuttle. It would be inherently more reliable than the shuttle, much less expensive per launch, and really open the doors to private sector investment in space since NASA would contract t/Space for each launch. Cargo could be sent up separately on a heavy lift rocket that need not go through the enormous expense of human rating it.
It is a web based application (very reasonable priced) that uses php/mysql to organize your tasks. Email reminders, notes, and nesting for both tasks and notes are both supported. Attaching files and urls to items is another feature I use a lot.
If you don't want to host and configure it yourself, Usetasks is a good option:

Musk has said that he can't drop the price right away. SpaceX needs to recoup the more than $1 billion sunk into R&D for reusability.
That's what the Pluto Relay a.k.a. Charon is for.

Rare earth's were brought to earth by asteroid impacts, not through volcanism.
What's next, line dancing?
The dragon cargo isn't capable of docking. The crewed dragon will be capable of docking though.
I guess the only way to get around this is to highlight without other's highlights being turned on.

Please let new tabs open alongside the current tab! With a bunch of tabs, it makes navigation between the parent and child tab so much easier.
What's interesting is that, once again, DRM is only affecting legitimately paying customers.
Though you wouldn't hear about it If the DRM prevented theft of the movie.
Funny writing. It was obviously a joke, but the concept was so funny that knowing this going in didn't change anything.
I've been using this for months now.
From the EFI-X America site: "We were horned to start working with EFiX team. Please forgive us for our website as we are working toward making it more user friendly. Thanks for reading about us. We have over 20 years combined experience in doing things differently when it comes to computing digital life." I for one am glad that these guys are so horned to do their job. The more the merrier. Many hands make light work.
As a longevity researcher who is presumably interested in living a long time, why do you choose to smoke?
This game is an offshoot of the rosetta@home effort to model protein folding. Folding@home is a separate effort.

Using excel 2003, I get the expected answer of 65535 for the formula "=850*77.1" (using build 11.1846.8132) SP2. Don't see what the problem is ...

I think the OP is way off on the estimates. Bigelow Aerospace will have a space station up in running before 2010.

I don't think so. Ever see some of the syntax highlighting schemes some Vim users have come up with?

Those of us with 8-bit keys are really worried now.
