Don't know when you last visited England, but at 27 I cannot remember any other kind of socket than the one we have now.
I lived there for two years from '84 to '86. The 13A plugs with rectangular pins were the most common type, but I'd swear I saw older-type 5A and 15A outlets (that took plugs with round pins) at least once or twice.
And that's why there are no Earth connections on US power points?
Assuming that by "power point" you mean power outlet (what does Microsoft have to do with power outlets?:-) ), of course our outlets have ground connections. They're the U-shaped terminals seen here that take the round pin on the plug.
And why don't most power points have an 'OFF' switch?
Umm...because most electrical devices have switches of their own? Only place I've seen switches next to every f'n outlet was England, and I wondered what the point was of such needless redundancy. (Then again, England is also the country where you have to buy and install plugs on the cords of every electrical device before you can even plug it in because there are something like three or four different types of wall outlets in use depending on the age of your home (or, if your home was really old and retrofitted for electricity at some point, the age of said retrofit).
Actually, the majority of their work is on parts that are brought back to here for American cars.
One engine, offered in twovehicles of the three currently-shipping Theta platform vehicles. Most of GM's Chinese production stays in China; the Chinese have been buying Buicks like crazy.
It's a plug in hybrid; the 62 mile range is on batteries alone, then the gas engine can kick in.
TFA says nothing about it having an engine as a secondary power source. The headline refers to it as an electric car (which would imply electric-only), but "hybrid" (which somewhat implies more than one power source, though GM doesn't plan on calling the Volt a hybrid and it definitely has an engine as well as a battery pack) appears a few times in the body text. Is there a better article out there that isn't as ambiguous?
Get real...do you honestly expect anyone to regard Amnesty International, with its checkered past, as an impartial, unbiased source? You'll have to do better than that.
Considering that they were captured on the battlefield engaging in any number of war crimes, their guilt is already well-established. We would've been within our rights to shoot them on the spot and be done with them, but we decided to play nice with them...fat lot of good that's done us, except for a scrap or two of usable intel.
How many years ago did we have to sign up to get a 5 figure one, anyway?
My first post is dated 29 May 1999. I had been lurking for a few months prior to that, but created an account so I could post.
By comparison, the first post from the first six-digit-uid poster is dated 22 February 2000. The first post from a five-digit-uid user is dated 2 January 1999. Basically, it looks like if you signed up in 1999 (or the first couple months of 2000), you have a five-digit uid.
As I came out of my own apartment building, I saw the lady sifting through the trash as usual. She picked out a partially eaten apple and some other fruit, and then put it on the ground for the dog to eat. The dog didn't hesitate to eat the food. I was really surprised. I heard of dogs eating vegetarian, but I thought that it was just anecdote.
Anyone who's owned a dog would tell you they'll eat anything that looks vaguely like food, and plenty of other stuff that doesn't if they get a chance. While taking mine for walks, I had to look ahead of her to make sure she didn't eat things such as cigarette butts or dead pigeons that'd make her sick. (I wasn't always successful at that.:-| )
But when you have a pound of beef, you have a pound of food. When you have a pound of rice or soy beans, you still have to find some food to serve with it.
Put another way, vegetables are what food eats.:-)
It's sort of cheating -- just recreate the oven on top of the range. The range is just fire, and simple ovens were just massive boxes next to or on top of fire. (Modern ovens are less-massive boxes with a controlled fire on the inside.)
Coleman makes a camping oven that's basically a collapsible metal box that sits on a campstove. It'd no doubt work over a kitchen stove as well, if you were so inclined. (I used to have one...damned if I can find it, though.)
Just out of curiosity what exactly would you call a user fixable part on a cell phone?
It depends on what the meaning of "user fixable" is.:-) I replaced the keyboard in my Treo after spilling a beer on it...cost me about $20 in parts and a few minutes' time. It's been dropped often enough that I've had thoughts of buying a replacement case and transferring the "guts" over to it.
All right then. If you think otherwise, how about you cite some papers?
Why should I waste more time on you? It's easy enough for you to google for them yourself...or, since we're talking about Michael Crichton, try looking up any of the hundreds of references he provided in State of Fear. Since acceptance of anthropogenic global warming has pretty much turned into a religion among your ilk, though, I suspect there's nothing that will convince you of the truth anyway.
Read the real peer reviewed papers, and you will see that Skepticism is entirely justified.
No, I will see no such thing. Perhaps if I pick and choose a few papers presented to me by those who want to promote the denial of global warming, I might think so, however.
Because telnetd has some tiny fraction of the system overhead of ssh daemons, even "tiny" ones.
CPU usage for an SSH daemon during an interactive session, while it probably is higher than a telnet daemon, is still low enough (0.005% instead of 0.001%, perhaps?) that it'll most likely get lost in the noise. I have dropbear running on a WRT54GL, and it has no trouble keeping up. The trivial CPU usage is worth the added security. It might crunch a bit more during session setup when it's using public-key encryption to set things up, but IIRC everything else gets shared-key encryption (which imposes much less of a load).
So spend the $5 and get a new keyboard? Unless your keyboard is physically, permanently attached. Then again we get into the very, very minority.
"People with laptops" is a very, very tiny minority?
People with laptops typically have a removable keyboard
It's not typically intended to be removed by the user, so it's not easy to remove. Besides, even if it is easily removable (which it usually isn't), it's usually not something for which you would just pop down to Fry's, pick up a random keyboard, and drop it in...a given notebook keyboard will usually fit only a small handful of different models.
I've always wondered what all that "registering to vote" business in the US was about. Where I live, as long as you're a citizen, you're automatically registered. You don't have to do anything special; about four weeks before an election, they even send you a letter containing directions to the voting booths closest to your place of residence.
Data-protection laws (most likely the Privacy Act of 1974 is one of them) prevent the sharing of information between agencies that would make that possible. Besides, it's not that big a deal: just go down to the county elections office, fill out a form, and hand it in. I had to change my registration a few months ago after I moved across town; it took a couple of minutes.
Voting is also "compulsory" (it's considered one of the citizen's duties), but nothing will happen if you don't go (for whatever reason).
We're still a free country. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to vote (maybe you think all the candidates suck), you're not required to do so. (Note that while "none of the above" is an option for state and local elections in some jurisdictions, it's not available for federal elections...if you vote, you only get to pick between Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich. If you want neither of them, there's no way to register that opinion.)
You know we fought WW2 against you sickening right wing conservative fuckers and now you've signed on for the same fucking thing?
Um...since when is socialism (whether national socialism or any other sort) a conservative creation? If you can stop foaming at the mouth long enough to keep from drooling into the pages, you might want to have a look at Liberal Fascism. You might learn something.
TFA mentions the containers are used inside a building.
Who says you can't put a crane in a building? As long as the ceiling is at least a bit more than twice as high (maybe 2.5x) as the containers are tall, you can put one in to pick up containers and shift them around.
Traffic jams have never killed anybody. Pollution has (made it difficult to breathe & increased lung cancer deaths).
...and a major cause of air pollution is the low-speed stop-and-go driving brought on by traffic jams. No matter what you're driving, it'll be more efficient at a constant speed. It's hard to maintain a constant speed, though, when the roads are inadequate for the traffic they need to carry.
please please please let someone port portage/gentoo package management to openbsd... please...:(

More like vi than ed, and used in similar circumstances (such as when X isn't running).

You could've just written this:
"Lalalalalala I can't hear you lalalalalala"
It would've been shorter and to the point.
She turned me into a newt!
