I actually acquired a taste for it in Scotland (I'm USian, if that's not already clear). If you use it sparingly, it's pretty good, if not a little salty.
A lot of electricity is produced with coal, and that puts out more mercury than the CFL contains over the life of the bulb.
I agree with what you're saying, but I have one nit to pick: The coal-fired plants don't put nearly as much mercury in my living room, available for my bio-uptake as the CFL's do when broken. Who was it that said, "Dilution is the solution to pollution"?
...or perhaps they haven't found the thing that unifies them into one disease. Scientific American has an article this month entitled Chromosonal Chaos and Cancer by the controversial Peter Duesberg (he is reported to claim that AIDS is not caused by HIV).
To make a fascinating story short, he claims that cancer is a result of chromosomal damage and reshuffling, not gene mutations. He provides very compelling chromosome diagrams showing the pieces of chromosomes scattered all over. (Chromosome 2 has pieces of chromosome 8 stuck to it, etc). I was unaware of this property of cancerous cells, even though that knowledge has been around since the 50's. He believes that science took a wrong dogmatic turn by pinning the cause of cancer on gene mutations instead of chromosomal upheaval.
I would love to see propagation on 10m and 6m like it was back in the late 80's. I remember talking to a guy in Russia while driving down I-64 to Virginia Beach using a whopping 25W SSB on 10m. Those were the days. If the sunspot numbers are high enough, we might see decent 2m propagation as well - that's always fun.
Use Microchip's IDE, which has a built-in debugger and stimulus editor. Once it runs in the debugger, burn it to a chip and watch it run. Since their processors have built-in I/O devices, you can get a lot done with little or no additional circuitry.
Others have poo-poo'ed taking an iPod - I'm leaving for the Bahamas in 18 hours or so, and I'm taking my iPod for one reason - digital photo backup. I have a little widget that plugs into my iPod Photo and my Canon 20D and sucks the pictures out. I can then erase the flash card, and keep going. I stored 5000 pics on it while in Scotland. It was great! No laptop required.

I'm certainly no authority on this, but I've noticed that Americans tend to say dates in the form "March 12th, 2007", not "the 12th of March, 2007". That may have something to do with it, or the written form may have influenced the spoken form.
What part of "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed" do they not understand? I understand that this prohibition is on congress, but isn't this change being made under their purview? Here's the definition of ex post facto from the same site:
Ex post facto
ex post facto adj. Formulated, enacted, or operating retroactively. [Med Lat., from what is done afterwards] Source: AHD
In U.S. Constitutional Law, the definition of what is ex post facto is more limited. The first definition of what exactly constitutes an ex post facto law is found in Calder v Bull (3 US 386 [1798]), in the opinion of Justice Chase:
1st. Every law that makes an action done before the passing of the law, and which was innocent when done, criminal; and punishes such action. 2d. Every law that aggravates a crime, or makes it greater than it was, when committed. 3d. Every law that changes the punishment, and inflicts a greater punishment, than the law annexed to the crime, when committed. 4th. Every law that alters the legal rules of evidence, and receives less, or different, testimony, than the law required at the time of the commission of the offense, in order to convict the offender.
Me too, but most with regard to all of the barely used nuclear fuel rods languishing at reactors all over the country. There's a ton of energy left in them, and by burning up the actinides you're left with waste that's 'hot' for a faction of the time. From this Wikipedia article:
Compared to current light-water reactors with a once-through fuel cycle that uses less than 1% of the energy in the uranium, the IFR has a very efficient (99.5% usage) fuel cycle.
and
Another important benefit of removing the long half-life transuranics from the waste cycle is that the remaining waste becomes a much shorter-term hazard. After the actinides and transuranics are removed from the spent fuel, the remaining waste elements have half lives of a few decades at most. The result is that within 300 years, such wastes are no more radioactive than the ores of natural radioactive elements.
This interview with George S. Stanford, Ph.D highlights the history and potential on IFR's.
...the player hardware would make a phone call to get the key to play the disc.
Not exactly. The player would play the disk without making a call. It had a very cool embedded security processor, and was fully capable of decrypting the video without phoning home for keys. The phonecall reconciled the playing of a disk/account pair. If the disk had never been seen before, it was a free initial play. If it was seen on this account 48 hrs on this account or on any other account, it was charged.
I just spent $4000 to make the 'must-wear-thick-glasses' me not exist and replaced myself with the 'no-need-to-wear-half-inch-thick-glasses' me, and I must say we're much happier.

So what does that sequence of bytes disassemble to on an x86? Z-80? 6502? 68k?, etc? There's your copyrightable version.

Wouldn't that me loam?
BTW, that was a great series of books.
...or maybe 'timex' (that's taken), 'timey' (just sounds silly), and 'timez' (makes me think of warez).
I like your suggestion better, pronounced 'time', 'wime', and vime', I take it?

The hell it doesn't! That precisely what it's for. The guy with the most bling gets the chicks.
I think the original poster meant that the ridiculous plumage doesn't help that particular bird survive, not the species.
Good point. Perhaps I should add 'in print' after 'read'.
Shouldn't that be:

Yes, each disk was individually numbered.
What part of the UK are you in? I'm USian, but I love a little HP Sauce on a bridie. It does wonders for haggis, too.
Holy Christmas! Those are very impressive! Is the a site with more details of their construction?
Dude! The only thing that goes to 104F in my house also says "Broil" and "Bake". Is that one of them new nucular furnaces?
The earth has an electromagnetic field resonance. Investigate it and other VLF/ELF phenomena further here.
I see you've ridden the trolley in San Diego.
Yes, but the average human has less that 2.0 legs. (Seen on /.)
