That was, at the very most, a half assed at humor. There are, in fact, ways to add, not only too many commas, but enough to make, say, your head, or mine, explode upon reading the sentence, phrase, etc.
Not only that, but you can, unbelievably, even use lots of commas, while maintaining mostly, although maybe not entirely, correct punctuation./quote>

Price will be "agressive," says that page, but it would have to be damn near ferocious to beat the $200 one from Asus... assuming that stays $200, not $279+shipping or something. According to this article on engadget, the nanobook will clock in at $600. Not bad for all you get, but not really comparable to the Eee.
the typical example of going to Best Buy ...
But I don't think that anybody wants all brick-n-mortar stores to go under. I'm usually pretty sympathetic to the B&M stores, but if you're going to put it that way...
Choose your poision. Interesting choice of words, you bring up the point that gasoline is full of lovely BTEX compounds. Of course, you are exposed to these on a daily basis due to evaporative losses, not just in a collision.
True, but this matters little to the guy standing in Wal-Mart trying to figure out how to spend the $20 in disposable income he has left from his paycheck. This box-office subsidy just makes the DVD a better value than the CD for him. The record companies' business model weaknesses are not his concern.
In a normal demolition job all of the potentially toxic materials such as asbestos, furniture, computers &c. are removed prior to implosion. This was obviously not the case for the WTC.
there's an article in this month (or last month) WIRED about using CAPCHAs and such. CAPCHA2 will have 2 words: the first one is a CAPCHA, and the second one is an unidentified word (scanned) from an ebook project (can't remember which one). It not only helps defeat bots, but helps with cataloging the world's books! You're probably thinking of http://recaptcha.net/. Creative commons license, free to use, helps Project Gutenberg... pretty good stuff.
Does TFA actually say anything about videos actually being taken down?
He thinks it's only a matter of time before a licensing company orders YouTube to take them down.
It's a little confusing. The article about the take-down is mentioned in the first paragraph, which is a actually follow-up to the main article with pictures on that page. The bulk of the information is in the audio broadcast on the first "listen" link.
Not only that, the phrase "RIAA" doesn't even appear in the NPR article. Didn't anyone bother to proof read the article before posting it, or did another strikingly similar (but different) article about guitar and YouTube get linked? They only say "music company" on the broadcast segment.
You're assuming a few things: 1. The grid can handle the new load. According to this study, there's currently enough off-peak capacity to run 84% of US cars, light trucks, and SUVs as plug-in hybrids. Of course, it would take years for that many vehicles to be replaced, allowing some lead time to get additional generating capacity installed.
2. The electric companies will not immediately turn to foreign oil to cover the power increase. The utilities have been moving away from oil as fuel for a long time now, even 10 years ago when oil was fairly cheap it still cost more than coal and even natural gas. Currently only 2% of electrical generation comes from oil. I would expect future increases in capacity to continue this trend and come mainly from coal or possibly natural gas. Not necessarily the best choices for the environment, but a modern plant design should include CO2 sequestration and other emission controls to deal with acid rain gases and mercury.
3. The local electric company is competent in some way. Well, you got me on that one! They do, however, have to answer to various public utility commissions and whatnot so there's a dim glimmer of hope.
You do have a DSP and an FM Radio in there for your 4Gb. It would be interesting to see if a homebrew one is possible *scratches chin* Amazon has a 4GB Sandisk Sansa with FM, recording, 1.8" screen for $122. That less than half of the price of the Wizpy!
This was back in the days of VHS and 300 bps modems.
Gee, Uncle Chill, it must have taken forever to transfer those divx/xvid'ed VHSes via a 300 bps modem!!!;) Nobody's sure how long it would take, the TRS-80 hasn't finished encoding the video yet.
NPR's Science Friday had an interview with a more plausible cause of colony collapses, it basically involves an intruder insect that is known to be only a small nuisance against African bees but with European bees, it causes a highly stressfull hormone feedback loop such that all the bees basically abandon the hive. You can listen to this show here.
There are line-in adapters which will hook into the external CD changer circuit. This one says that it's compatable with your factory 6-disk changer.
Having tried both, there's no comparison between line in and FM modulator. I keep the modulator around only for use in rental cars and the occasional prank...
The 80% efficiency could be compensated for if the mat has 1) low standby consumption and 2) an efficient power supply itself. Remember that you're potentially replacing several inefficient wall warts which are frequently left plugged in 24x7 even when the ipod/cellphone/pda/... is off in your pocket.
I've always wondered; was that simply a mispronunciation of gigawatts or was it an imaginary unit in the line of zillions? According to my dead-tree dictionary (which was published in 1989 -- contemporaneous with BTTF) the correct pronunciation is with the soft G.

I made infrequent use of an HP-500 inkjet for years with no problems. I now have a Cannon photo printer, and while I haven't had it very long, it hasn't shown any signs of difficulty yet. This leads me to suspect that this is a quality-of-printer issue more than an "all inkjets suck" issue. Considering that the real cost is in consumables anyway, maybe it's worth not buying printers that are "cheap-ish"? Maybe it has something to do do with climate. I had a HP-500 series which was continually drying out. I don't think I ever actually emptied a cartridge without it drying first. (and no, alcohol and swabs don't do a damn bit of good!) Thing is, I live in Colorado, so the humidity is low and the altitude is high, both of which could promote cartridge drying.
IOW, any CO2 produced by ethanol fermentation was atmospheric in origin, so there's no net increase in atmospheric CO2. Of course, fossil fuel used in transport and production of the grain and ETOH will add some CO2, but there's still a net decrease in carbon emissions. It's fairly small for Corn based, but beets and sugar cane fare much better.

These days peak demand is due to air conditioning. Those days with the highest A/C load will likely be the sunniest days as well.
