I get about 5-6 hours with the base battery and another 2-3 out of a second battery that replaces the optical drive (wtf do i need that for?).
More (or equally) importantly, you can buy it barebones and avoid the $50 M$ tax.
The only reasons not to get it are if you require wireless a/g (Centrino only supports B) or if you require 1600x1200 res (I got the 1024x768 native one, there is one that comes in 1280x1024 as well).
The design is near flawless and the touchpad has a really good groove to it plus a scrolly-thing that is infinitely useful.
It seems to me that the easiest way to clean avoid these problems would be to build a simple firewall into cable/dsl hardware.
The way I imagine it, the thing comes with all incoming ports blocked by default. The installation tech simply generates a random admin password for the modem and includes it with the literature along with instructions on how to access a web-based interface. The benefits here are immense:
(1) The ISP will probably make its money back on bandwidth consumed by the worms' random scanning, irate morons hogging tech-support lines and complaints from people being scanned by their network. Honestly, how much could a dinky little firewall add to the cost of a cable modem?
(2) Totally transparent to regular users. It just works . ..
(3) Anyone that *needs* open ports ought to be smart enough to figure out how to use a simple web-based interface to open the ports he needs.
Am i missing something? I mean, it won't protect dial-up users but it sure is a start.
Making hyrdogren by electrolysis is a mind-bogglingly inefficent process (the Israelis do it by focusing mirrors on a tin can in the middle of the desert).
This is why it isn't made by water, rather, it's extracted from natural gas (CH4).
Thus, it's powered by the exact same form of energy as current cars - biological matter conveniently shielded from the energy-sapping effects of oxidation by the atmosphere.
As far as pollution, however, it's much favorable because there aren't any nasty sulfur/nitrogen byproducts.
Phase III is a randomized controlled trial. They randomly assign half the patients to the drug, and half the patients to a placebo. If it really works, you should see the difference. A lot of times it doesn't work and you know the drug is useless. Until the RCT you don't know anything for sure.
Is it really ethical to give a dying cancer patient a placedbo? I mean, this person could get chemo/radiation/neutron treatment but instead they get a sugar pill.
Having taken prob/stat recently, i can certainly appreciate the conclusive value of these studies. This does not, however, dull the ethical concern here - the ends do not justify the means.
I'm not really sure where i stand (i assumed all RCTs were done with cold medicine and shit like that).

When people are surrounded by people that think in lock-step with their own ideas they are very prone to micalculation.Military planners call it "incestuous multiplication" are are taught to avoid it like the plague.
Corporate america would do well to think about it.

D) They received a hand-picked processor that is in the top 5 percentile . . .
Not at all unreasonable.

Did it occur to you that 1920x1080i is really the same amount of information as 960x540p.
540p and 1080i are basically equivalent (at least as far as joe sixpack is concerned).

You are correct/incorrect.

This is absolutely true.
