They may not have printed any for a while, but new $2 bills are still being put into circulation. They disappear just as fast because they're such a novelty.
Does Cisco have a product called an iPhone ? Trade marks have to be used in trade - they're not like patents which you can register and sit on. If you have no mark to protect your registration is useless.
Well here (USA) you can't even write a check without producing your drivers license and having them record the number off it - The licensing department looked at me funny when I asked where I sign up for the check writing class:-)
I also was born in the UK and didn't have to supply anything different for my new passport (issued last march) than I did for the one before it (issued 1990). No fingerprints DNA or anything else funny. I didn't have to provide any of those on entry to Britain either, just a cursory look at my passport and that was it.
As a US resident I don't get fingerprinted, photographed or anything else funny on entering the USA either.
Even the blue screen message tells you to reboot and try again and to call support if it blue screens again. Doesn't that tell you that microsoft know it blue screens for no reason.
The US Federal Government also generally requires US citizenship for employees (except the military). Private employers aren't allowed to discriminate based on citizenship (unless they have a contract with the feds that requires it).
"The railroad line from the factory had to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, the major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a Horse's Ass!"
The number after the T is the tube diameter in 8ths of an inch. So a (most common) T8 tube is a 1 inch tube. T32 would be massive.
Magnetic ballast for older tubes are cheap... the electronic ballast for high output T5 on the other hand is pricey.
CF bulbs are cheap because it's simple to make an electronic ballast that's only going to be used with a known tube, most seperate ballast units can be used with a fairly wide array of tubes.
Eating cloned meat doesn't bother me. A bigger concern is maintaining genetic diversity in the herd, without it a disease may come along which wipes them all out.
Ok - The parent should have said that a stock option returns no profit if not exercised or sold. If you sit on it for a bit and give it back (like it is alleged Jobs did) then you've made no money.
No I mean infinite as in if you pick a direction and travel in it you will never reach the end, while at the same time the distance in between any two points is getting bigger. We can't observe the universe from the outside so there's no way to speculate as to what it would look like.
As light travels, this color turns redder and redder, having to do with energy loss,
The doppler effect.
As the object moves away from you the frequency of light emitted appears lower from our point of view becuase each "wave" is coming from further away than the previous one.
There comes a point when the outcome becomes basically inevitable from your actions, here gripping a foam cup between your legs and then removing the lid is close enough to deliberately pouring the contents down your pants that it makes no difference. The cup is not designed to be squeezed with no lid, it collapses.

The could just call it Phone .. that would be inline with Keyboard, Mouse and a bunch of other Apple products.

What abou the question of having to hand compare 50x as many potential matches after the computer finds them for you.
Maybe the rest of the world should make it reciprocatory, we'd soon get cranky having to give fingerprints everywhere we go.

You know I think this already happened. Like two days ago or something.
No of course it doesn't, that would be silly.

Yes - while the story is not true, It is inevitable that design decisions involving space shuttle components were driven by ease of shipping concerns.

It's been that way for at least 10 years, if not closer to 20.
Great idea! Now explain why the information has to be kept for over 3 years AFTER the plane takes off?
Delays.
Russian agents at that, you know the kind of people you'd think they'd know about.

Good point ... to quantify the difference ... the US pint is 16oz vs the "English" 20oz pint. So the US gallon is 128oz vs the English 160oz
Yes. Why worry about making a reasoned argument when you can just insult the other guy instead. Have you considered a career in politics ?

It's infinite in size. If it gets bigger it's still infinite in size.
Just don't think about the fact that if it got bigger it must have been smaller before that.
Makes your head hurt doesn't it ?

The part that bothers me is if the light took 14 billions years to get here at the speed of light, then how did we get here first ?
