It's not called the dark side because it's dark. It's "dark" because that side never faces Earth. Thus, during a solar eclipse the "dark" side is completely illuminated by the sun.
One of the prevailing moon origin ideas is that it's the result of a massive object impacting Earth. That could certainly go a long way toward explaining the presence of water in lunar material.
Of course it would be extremely costly to consolidate any meaningful quantity of lunar water. Imagine the task of extracting a kilogram of extremely fine gold dust that has been dispersed semi-homogeneously throughout 1000 cubic yards of sand.
OK, So it was BestBuy but... the point still holds. You can still get ATSC to NTSC converter boxen for under US$100 at normal retail outlets.
The previous time I was in that particular location it had a Circuit City label over the door. Best Buy moved into the same location and I didn't care so long as I found what I was looking for at a reasonable price.
I was just in a Circuit City store this week and yes, you can still get the converter boxen. Set up a good, up on a high pole, huge ass aerial and there's even the possibility that you'll get those Champaign and Decatur stations too.
We purchased 2 new LCD boxen with included ATSC tuners, mounted a roof-top aerial and linked everything via the already present coax in the house and actually added to the channels we can receive. The aerial was off the shelf, old school hardware from Radio Shack. Not even one of those fancy, overpriced "digital" antennas.
No conversion box. No signal amplifiers. Just hooked the TV to the coax running up to the aerial on the roof.
The right aerial antenna mounted clear of other interference will give you the best chance of getting all receivable channels.
I'm absolutely certain the highly advanced scientists in the PRK have succeeded in achieving fusion. Unfortunately for them the fusion they actually achieved was by patching together recordings of Dave Brubek and Dave Matthews.
Actually, Yes. Although Apple is the one pushing for HTML-5 video there are still open options for much of the animated web.
SVG is one example of an under-adopted option. This may change with MS announcing that IE-9 will have native support for SVG - eliminating the requirement for a plugin such as the Acrobat reader/player. Think of SVG as an open source, jaggie free graphic format for the web - that is editable in your favorite text editor (Notepad, SciTE, emacs, vi, edlin,...) and integrates into the DOM sufficiently enough that you can have event triggers and animations,
With the noted exception of camera captured photographic video SVG is a fully functional replacement for a broad range of web based graphics and animation. The folks over at Jib-Jab could really take advantage of SVG to reduce bandwidth requirements for serving a lot of bitmap based animations.
90% of all statistical citations in online discussions have a 73% chance of being completely made up by the poster. 82% of those stand a 87% chance of being proven false. There is a 100% probability that I am making this up as I go.
Maybe you could explain your first paragraph to the folks at SCO. Check Groklaw.net for the full saga of how they only claim the copyright for Unix System V but it's actually owned by Novel.
A screen capture would be more of a challenge (not impossible, just more difficult) for the school to get - and doesn't fit the description in the linked article in which the student was described as being engaged in improper behavior, and the proof was in the form of an image captured by the built in camera. Unless that still image shows a discernible reflection on the kid's glasses revealing unauthorized material your screen capture theory fails.
Had it been of a sexual nature involving the child the school would probably never have tipped their hand and shown themselves to be in possession of child porn.
The term "improper behavior" is vague enough that it could be anything. If the school has a zero tolerance policy regarding any controlled substances then a minor smoking a cigarette could fit that description as much as any sexual act.
At any rate, all the time recording doesn't have to take place. A single frame of a 14yr old with no clothes is all it takes for a child porn charge to stick. The fact that the school had and used the covert ability to activate and operate these devices remotely without regard to the students personal privacy and without any communication regarding that capability will be central in this case.
If the school district had required students receiving these systems to sign a usage agreement that included that information (even buried deep in paragraph 8 on page 14 in 6pt type) and indicated an assertion of the districts right to access and monitor the systems remotely they might have a leg to stand on.
But, to be successful over the long haul you have to be capable of producing the report from scratch in the first place. Cheating your way through school does not promote that skill set. Sure, you know how to copy and paste the right code but... can you tell why it's the right code in the first place? Can you optimize a/o improve the copied code?
So, I agree on your point re: reuseable code in the workplace but, you still need to do the work up front.
Absolutely. I've actually had to work with someone I knew was cheating in school and they couldn't code their way out of a pile of leaves, let alone a wet paper sack.
They got the grades because they cheated. They got the job because they got the grades. Eventually, they were among the first to get the layoff because B and C students like me just plain outperformed them day in and day out on the job.
Skimpy storage space? You must be planning on running enterprise data storage on yours 'cause 64GB is about twice what I'm used to. For a portable device that augments a stationary workstation I figure 64GB is pretty generous.
Remember what happened to that despot Adolf H. when he tried to fight on too many fronts Europe. A fatal miscalculation that contributed to the fact that they still speak French in France.
It would be a serious miscalculation to do anything which would draw the legal armies of both DeBeers and GE.

Correction. That sarcasm was applied so thick that makeup artists for Tammy Faye Baker were humbled.

LOL! 'Boxen' ... as in geek speak plural for 'box'
There were many on the shelf - thus the plural reference.
As for the Circuit City... that is explained in a separate response.
Otherwise... ask your mom about that other activity with which you appear to be obsessed.

Careful... Once they start looking at syntax they'll start looking at common tools like sed, awk, and God forbid grep.
Ah! grep! Now there's a command that just sounds dirty.
If I had mod points I'd apply an "Insightful" here.
I know there were a couple of girls in my school who were devious and sexually adventurous and there were no boys involved.
They know it as the "#%&$ing off" button.
To make this show even more trendy... one of the people I follow on Twitter - purely for the humor value is.... @ShitMyDadSays.
I have no doubt that is the source for the entire show concept.

There are 10 types of programmers.
The question to ask yourself is - stationary in relation to what?
And that is precisely the realization that Montgomery Scott had to make to be able to transport onto a ship traveling at warp speeds.
Doesn't matter anyway. Everything revolves around me. I am the center of the universe, and I can prove it.
And what do we do with a witch?
