H2 falls slower that H20. H20 is heaver, so it must fall faster! Or at least Aristole said so and he's never, ever wrong. Just ask the church and Gaileo on this one.
Asbestos has no chance against the heat generated by a fuel fire. Asbestos is good for things like paper fires which burn at 400-500 degrees. At the temprature the main fire was buring at asbestos, steel, and concret melts and vaporize. Asbestos coating would of just put another thing in the air.
Besides asbestos is not an environmentilst issue, its a heath issue. For what asbestos did there are better ways of doing it. If you'd like me to cover your house in asbestos than feel free. But don't come complaining when you get cancer from it, or other lung problems.

How exactly is Unix architectually bad compared to windows? Seems they're both full of bugs.
But is the property in China a boat? A bus? A plane? A satelite? If it moves, it's fair game for LA, but not for China. At least under our rules, but China may always disagree. Tax'em twice I say.
Except that the company that did own the satelites was located within LA. It's standard practice to tax movable inventory in the home city/state of the owner. LA really got screwed on this one because it seemed on the surface to be too far fetched.
In the end thought, it is the professor's responsiblity to control the class. If he or she lets the behavor get out of hand then it's just as much their fault as the students. The students are not the only ones to blame in cases like these. I've seen teachers ask students to leave who were being disruptive, so it is possible. Resposiblity is placed on everyone in that room, if another student is being distrubed they should tell the other student to cut it out. Any system cannot survive without some sort of feed back. Most universities forget this, and their systems suffer.
You do seem to be coming from a point of view that you actually have a choice about your education, which classes to take, whether to attend or not. That is clearly untrue in to day's universities (especially the technical fields like engineering). Everyone takes the same classes, with the same teachers, with required attendance. If the class sucks and the student is not engaged, there is little the student can do, professors aren't paid to listen, they're paid to bring in research dollars.
If you don't want to do what you are supposed to be doing in class, then don't go. Reading email, browsing the web, or blabbering away on instant messengers trying to find out where the next party is in the middle of a class is simply put, rude. If people would act with a little bit of responsibility and common sense these steps would never be looked at.
Not really an option, most introductory classes are required attendance, even if it's not worth your time and you don't pay attention. Don't show and you fail. I take it you haven't been in college for a while. Schools don't cancel class in very bad weather because they say it's your option to go or not, but since attendance is required, you usually must go anyway.
This is the typical me me me mentality (its MY education, my money, i'll act anyway I damned well please in class) that causes money and resources to be wasted on things like this.
It is your money and your time, but the professor has decided to waste it. Nothing that they students are doing are violating any fundamental set of morals. So let them do what they damn well like.
Do you maybe think that profs got annoyed at hearing the constant giggles and chuckles and tap tap tap of the keyboard going away while they are trying to talk? Or maybe the fact that the prof is annoyed that he or she is taking his time to walk around and see how people are doing on a lab, and you are there ignoring everything and doing your own thing?
Do you think students get annoyed by professors who just read out of the book, don't make the lectures even worthwhile to hear? The street runs both ways, but since the profs have the power their point of view (which is cheaper to fix, so it's their way.) Classes should be interesting and engaging intrinsicly, not because someone mandated that you cannot do anything else, but must sit here and listen to me.
As for cell phones and pagers, they should be banned from the classroom unless you have a reason or they vibrate only. No traditional college student is so important that they can't put there phone and pager on hold for 50 minutes.
For freshman just out of college that may be true, but a lot of people in college now have something called a life. Heard of it? They're returning to college, or have other responiblities, they may be expecting a baby. Blanket statements just don't cut it. Although cell phone use should be discouraged since it tends to make all the students not pay attention to what is going around on campus, because they're talking on the cells instead of listening.
In the end, it's better to actually try to improve classes and the college, so that the tendancy to do these "distracting" things would be reduced or even eliminated. But that is the sensible thing to do, and if college has taught me anything it's that it never actually does the senible thing. Almost always the excat oppisite.
Err... They'll both cut corners if they can get away with it. The DIV bug in the Pentium, Intel tried to play it off until the market pressure became unbareable. They just have so many more people watching them they're more likely to get caught.
Intel made 4 different processors that were Pentium III-600, and did absolutly nothing to tell them apart unless you were buying a boxed processor (and even then they'd be vague why a E or B or EB was better). Most of the people that bought a 600 from Dell or another OEM got a Katmai w/100 FSB (did you ever see a Intel 600EB advertized in a complete system from a major OEM?). No they just provided the slowest of the set. They'll both actually hide what the processor's actual speed/type when it suits their marketing needs. Both companies are trying to sell as many systems as possible, that's all their is two it. Besides if the system is low-end you must expect that some of the parts like the motherboard wouldn't be exactly first rate. They'll get the job done, but otherwise you'll need to spend the money.
No, because intel will provide fully designed systems (cpu, motherboard, memory, etc), pre-built that Gateway can slap their name on them. AMD won't. When your scrapping for more money it helps that you can cut your design staff completely and outsource it.
That company would be Cerner. Not a place I'd like to work in a million years. They have a policy not to call their employee's employees, but associates. Like that really means they have any say in the company.

This explains it much better than I could. Besides, without knowing what other applications are currently running one cannot make that judgement. Memory can be mapped multiple times and top is commonly WRONG (it's a dumb program, just does what it thinks is right, what else can you expect). I wouldn't really trush a value from it. Look into X, you'll see that id does mmap memory more than once, so top will count it more than once. Added to the fact that memory counted against X is actually another program's display, then you'll see that the actual main system RAM used is very little.
3) People who provide services for me (yoga, karate, acupuncture, housing, servers, etc) get instant payment, and can do what they want with it, including not reporting taxes. This makes them happy.
This doesn't really work, the IRS just estimates how much they think you should owe and just charges you accordingly. Waiters and Waitress get hammered on this all the time. The IRS just calculates their tips based on the number of sales that the waitress or waiter made that night. It's usually higher than the number of tips they actually did get. They claim silly things like statistics makes this correct. Silly them.

Err...The majority of X's memory is video card memory mapped into X's memory space. The actual software the comprises X is actually very small.
By far and away MicroTech is the sleaziest of all possible computer vendors. They only really have money, because for a while the state of Kansas dictacted that computers must be bought in state. Their PC's break after about 1.5 years and they try to wiggle out of complete support contracts, which would have 1.5 years left on them by saying stupid shit like memory is too expensive so we're not going to replace it (even though they are contractually obligated to do so). And they're laptop support is utter crap. You'll call about a failed laptop. Trace the problem down to bad memory (himem.sys won't even start because it can't access sections of memory), request to have it replaced, but they'll send it back saying Norton anti-virus fixed the problem. But the problem pops up in the returned box. Oh yea, and you can't find drivers for anything. Sorry to be so mean, but I've really had more than I can take of Microtech. Stay away from them like the plague.
War wasn't declared in 1861, but that didn't stop people from acting like one. War hasn't been declared at this point, but people still act like it has. It doesn't make any actions that the US takes because it is at "war", right or proper.
Err, the Palinstian movement is not exactly Islamic. Arafat's own wife is a Christian. The even more simpler matter is that a lot of governments around the world treat their people like shit, and they do blame the US, because we've done quite a bit to keep them continually treated like shit. Maybe we'll finally deal with that reality, but it doesn't look like we don't. We'll just follow blindly the same policies that got us into the current mess.
The term "secret shoppers" almost always refers to people sent into the store to verify prices, rate how friendly the staff is etc. In other words they're not watching you shop, but watching the shop its self.
So you made the stirng 10 digits then? You're really just pushing the solution off to someone else to solve later. That was bad programming I think. Use time_t and covert to a string as needed. Anything else is silly.
The only really big project that seems to be driven by a cult of personality is the linux kernel. (and even then their is a lot of overlap between others who are "in charge". Xfree, Apache, etc hae teams, but not one all important person in charge. As such they've gone through a number of changes of personelle without much problem at all.
It's _your_ money. If they don't believe you, just take _your_ money and go some where else. They'll get the idea of who's problem it really is really fast.

You mean like NTFS? Microsoft knows Fat-32 sucks, it's too open and too limited. They're trying to push NTFS onto everyone.
