I find it sad that so much of the internet has come to that considering the initial, if somewhat unrealistic in retrospect, ideals of utopian free speech and debate for everyone.
What ideals? The internet was developed by the DoD as a robust communication medium that could survive a nuclear attack. Only later it was opened to the general public. You might have these ideals for the internet now, but please don't talk about them as if they were the original intent.
Oh, and to get more to the point: I believe in free speech and all, but insulting someone is not free speech any more - it's aggression with words. Granted, in my opinion, the lawyer in question here might have overreacted and doesn't exhibit very mature behavior, but I support his right to defend himself against insults. Whether these claims are justified is up to a court of law.
> Maybe the pulse is not totally absent, from the > article, this only replaces half of the heart
Yup, but it's the part that pumps the blood from the lungs into the body. So the majority of the body would have no pulse.
The valves are there so that during the inactive part of the heart's cycle, the blood doesn't rush in the wrong direction due to gravity - otherwise, for example, your legs would basically inflate with blood.
If that's it (and IANAD), that means the valves exist precisely because the heart cannot sustain a constant pressure, but pulses. No pulse - no valves needed.
However, the valves also regulate the distribution of the blood in the body. I have no idea whether tht function would be affected.
VAG (Volkswagen Automotive Group, including Audi, Bentley, and Lamborghini)
VAG stands for Volkswagen AG, and you forgot Bugatti, Seat, Skoda and Europcar. AG = Aktiengesellschaft ~ Incorporated
PAG (Porsche Automotive Group)
Never heard that one. The company is called "Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG".
the single company Audi, which is now only a part of a larger company, started life as four independent companies -- thus the four interlocked circles of the Audi badge)
Well, actually, Audi started as an independent company. Then, Audi and 3 other car makers joined up to create "Auto Union" with the 4-rings badge. Later, Auto Union was acquired by (then) DaimlerBenz (now DaimlerChrysler). In the mid-sixties, Auto Union was transferred to Volkswagen and the brand name Audi was resurrected, while keeping Auto Union's badge.
(this by the Porsche car company, and not the independent Porsche industrial design company).
Recently, though, Porsche AG (the car company) acquired F. A. Porsche (the design company).
KDE has a similar-but-not-identical feature that allows *some* menu item accelerators to be globally rebound
Actually, you can globally rebind the globally defined accels, and rebind the per-application-accels on a per-application basis. And you can, should you want to, override the global setting on a per-application-basis.
Nobody orders 500ml. Typically, you'll order a "large beer", or a "zero-five" (in Germany, at least).
Remember, in metric, there's more than one way to express a given quantity. "500ml" is what engineers would use. "half a liter" is what normal people use.
For easy eye-candy setting, run kpersonalizer (Alt+F2 and type kpersonalizer, hit enter) and turn everything off, though you can perhaps leave font anti aliasing on.
Style-wise, if turning off the eye-candy doesn't suffice, choose either one of the "Light styles" or the.NET-style (which is the fastest).
Version-wise, if Mandrake 10 doesn't include it. upgrade to the latest KDE 3.2. KDE has experienced continual speed improvements since the release of 3.0.
Last but not least, RAM is the key. I had KDE running with on a rather slow box, too (P3-450) and found that more RAM works wonders. For KDE and KDE-based apps, 128MB should suffice - but be aware the Mozilla and OpenOffice have a rather big memory-footprint, so if you plan to use those regularly alongside KDE, go 256. No amount of style/eye-candy tweaking will help you if your PC doesn't have enough main memory.
Babelfish translates: There it the 2500A-Modelle already for under 100, - euro gives, would be this a very inexpensive, but not revaluation of the DVD burners mentioned which can be enjoyed without caution., which for one, is extremely hilarious and secondly conveys the exact opposite of what the German author wanted to say. The correct translation of the last half-sentence "which can be enjoyed without caution" would be "which should not be enjoyed without caution", to keep in fish style. No idea where the fish lost the extra negation.
Phoenix is one of the upstream projects for the Aurora programme, which is ESAs manned space exploration effort and envisages manned Moon landings in the late '20s and a Mars mission in the '30s.
What? We're going send humans to Mars? And here I thought ESA had retained its scientific common sense. Oh well...
Look at the digrams. The engine and the counterlever holding the seat are suspended independently. If the motor locks up, it will go cartwheeling, but the rider will stay level (more or less).
But you get health care, a pension and a lot of other stuff in the way of insurances. If you add the cost of those insurances to the US tax, the "socialist" system doesn't look that bad.
Perhaps the reason is that many US and Australian cities are more recent, and were expanded after the automobile became commonly available,
Cities in Europe do continue to expand, too, but much less sprawlingly. I think the major factor here is not the car, that just makes low-density practical, but land prices: Most parts of Europe are much more densely populated than the US. For example, Germany has a population density similar to California, and is fairly on par with the European average. That means that land is much more expensive, which tends to yield more compact structures.
Compare to Japan which has an insane population density (in the habitated areas, large portions of Japan are virtually empty) and, consequently, even more compact cities.
Well, as of yet, MSN is just using tweaked Altavista results, so MSN is not a search engine, just a portal site, and Microsoft is no a search engine company. That'll change, and he said so.
Yeah, but somehow that's less of a point. Baystar may not be able to get their capital out, but such a well-publisized intention to move out of SCO will make it very hard for them to get more investors, and it's a massive PR/stock price problem for SCO.

Not weird at all, perfectly normal instead. Every engine has a point where it outputs its maximum power, above that it declines again. Have a look at any RPM/Power charts,
No, if some engineer could tell me why that happens... I would imagine that above a certain rpm, inefficencies start to creep in, but I'ld like to hear it from someone who is not talking out of his donkey.
It's a bit easier to control. You need those huge magnets to keep the plasma contained and under pressure. Once you shut them off, the plasma expands and cools rapidly below the point of where fusion happens. Sure, you'll probably have a bad case of burnt reactor, but no big explosion.

The rental company?
Both the Europcar and the Volkswagen site seem to agree on this. Apparently, VW bought Europcar in 1970. It was news to me, too.How are you supposed to determine whether the message is fraud or not when all the link URLs have been changed to something meaningless?

This is a perfect example of why the Brits aren't European.
They are measuring the clearance of the bridge at the pylons, I think.

That depends on whether you're speaking English or American...Well, Europeans have experience with international consortiums. Look at Airbus, look at EADS. Look at the EU.

In German, "nix" is colloquial for "nothing". So the question "Do you know *nix" can be easily misconstrued...
How do you guys pronounce "*nix"? "Nicks"? "Star-Nicks"?
