If you heard someone from MS say there will be no transparency, and yet the screenshots clearly depict transparency I think the safe assumption is that they misspoke. Maybe they were only talking about the window decorations which are opaque. Using mid-90's era fake transparency would be absolutely laughable, especially if done for some non-existent efficiency gain.
Where do you get the idea that the windows don't show up behind the task bar? I'm sure it uses real transparency. In modern systems real transparency is free, doing anything else is more effort and pointless.
No, helium rain does not operate in a cycle of rain and evaporation. The He takes a one way trip deeper into the planet depleting the outer atmosphere of He.
Where do you get the idea this is only for people currently on family plans? I don't see anything in any articles saying this isn't for individual users as well.
I have no idea when it comes to Mac users, I don't own any Apple products. And I haven't seen a corporate network that required Ethernet either. But why are users using their own hardware on corporate networks anyway?
If someone can simply create a bone, of the right material, and simply place it in the right place in the rock, then no one has lied about anything, they simply allowed you to be misled.
Seems like you're just playing games with definitions here. But you might want to double check the definitions before you try to get around them. Among the accepted definitions of a lie are "something intended or serving to convey a false impression" or "to create a false or misleading impression". Anyone allowing you to be misled can fairly and accurately be called a liar.
By having the blood in front, it allows the sensors to cool down and get oxygen more quickly
How does that work? If the blood supply was right behind the photo receptors it would be the same distance from them but would also not obstruct the view.
it also improves on the sight by reducing the back scattering of light in the back of the eye which is the main cause of lose of resolution in the eye
How does that work? There is tissue behind the eye either way, how would blood vessels cause more scattering then what is there now? And would it be worse then the scattering caused by light passing through the blood supply in front of the eyes as currently happens?
Backfire for who? Google isn't the one causing problems with certain searches. And I get the impression it doesn't cause general network interruptions, only Google is blocked.
Functionality for who? If I was a customer then *maybe* I wouldn't mind seeing their ugly boxes littering the landscape. But what about everyone else? Not everyone is a customer and some people actually like living in nice places.
It means exactly what it always does. 20,000 years ago. You're trying to be too clever with the speed of light thing, when we observed it is when it happened as far as we're concerned.
I see. Well, as I said, it will be helpful for Chinese too. Just focus on the meanings of the characters and not the pronunciations, those would be pretty much useless.
You're right the grammar is not too hard, it's actually pretty simple and logical. The difficulty comes largely from the tones, the characters, and absence of cognates. If you know some Kanji then certainly that will be a help. But if you're interested in studying Mandarin and not Japan, it would make more sense to be studying Hanzi, wouldn't it?

No, it's not. Small pox is maintained in a few locations to be used for research and no one considers that to be a criminal act.

For me, and plenty of people I'm sure, ethernet is as rarely used a firewire. Maybe your situation is different, but that doesn't make it typical.
The reason you feed them is so they don't die. Who dies when a bed goes unmade?
Cream cheese frosting is delicious and fairly common. If you've never had it you're missing out.

you think its a US problem that governments have 'agreed' to ban pot? last I checked, almost every single country is onboard this stupid WoD.
The US is the main culprit. We have a lot of influence in world politics, and we use it to force other countries into alignment with our drug policy.
If drugs are legalized in the US, we should be prepapred for the violence to get worse before it gets better.
I'm pretty sure that's not what happen after alcohol prohibition.
I've heard that the NSA is the biggest employer of mathematicians in the country. I'm sure they don't have much trouble finding work for them.

That's embarrassing and just because US currently has no conservative parties
You misspelled "liberal".

What do you mean if Google made good on their promise? They did release all the necessary code to run Wave servers.
What does SMS do better then email? It seems inferior in every way. I imagine SMS will die before email does, replaced by IM clients on smart phones.

It was an attempted joke. What he said is rude in Cantonese, but of course meaningless in the language we're talking about.

That's Cantonese, not Mandarin.
Fluent in Mandarin in 3 months? Pihua!
