The bottom of the glass is the heaviest and strongest part, especially on restaurant glasses made for heavy use and frequent washing. It stands to reason that the glass would turn so that the bottom hit the ground first.
Try this experiment: Take a heavy bowling ball, and a lighter super-ball and drop them off the top of a tall building at the same time. Which one will hit the ground first?
If you say the bowling ball because it is heavier, you need to go back to high school science classes.
Weight/mass has NOTHING to do with which end will hit the floor first.
Now, if you strap buttered toast to a cat, you could generate a condition that would distroy the universe.
why that sort of thing isn't mandatorily domestic in the first place is beyond me
I wonder if it might be because there is no US company that does this work. None. Nada. Zilch.
If you are worried about security, you do relaise that what they are getting does not include security or inspections. That is handled by the Coast Guard, FBI, etc. (US Government agencies).
If Kerry had won in '04,
I still don't know why you morons voted for this Idiot. His entire platform was "I am a War Hero, but I don't want to get into any details about that".
Hillary would have had to wait until '12 to make a serious effort at running.
Your "ultra-smart" woman, who can't remember anything she did during White Water, even though she signed much of the paperwork? Whose main recommendation for politics is that she didn't really care that her hubby was sleeping around? That she became a Congressman for a state she has never lived in?
I'be much happier with a roof full of solar panels and a wind turbine in the back garden.
Do you know how large of a solor panal array you need to power a single (average) house? It ain't going to fit on your roof! Maybe if you pave over the entire surface of all your neighbors properties with solar cells. And don't excpect them to work at night. Think acres, not square feet.
Put a nice little wind turbine, or two, in your back yard. A nice little 300 foot high tower. Dead birds splattered far and wide. Listen to "whump, whump, whump" as the blades spin, when you happen to have sufficient wind. Don't worry about a one ton blade snapping off, and falling through your house, or your neighbors; insurance should cover that.
Fusion creates heavier particles than what it started with, by merging (fusing) the icky bits of lighter components together. Since hydrogen is one of the lightest (1 protron, 1 electron), it is a bit hard to take the protrons from two elements, merge them together, and come up with 1 protron as the sum.
Hydrogen is usually the starting point for fusion, not the end product.
Why would you think that? Microsoft has the BEST support for multiple OS and backwards compatibility that I've ever seen in the entire software industry. The vast majority of current software designed for Win32 runs on any of their platforms from the past 10 years. Can you think of any vendor that has better cross-OS and backwards compatibility support? I certainly can't.
You apparently haven't tried to get software installed under XP. You end up having to run as root, in the rare cases it will work at all. You usually are required to buy another copy of every software package you have, just to get an XP version, and it still requires you to run it as root. And you might as well give up on any hardware that requires a driver.
Are you really thinking that being able to run on Windows 98 as well as Windows ME is cross-OS? If a binary could run on OS-X and Linux, then I'd give you a cross-OS, but not when it only runs on different versions of Windows. You can't even re-compile windows source code cross-OS, unluss you link it to an emulator like wine.
Anyway, I find VMS to be much better at backwards compatibility, as well as being more Cross-OS freindly than windows ever thought to be.
Unix(& friends) gives the best cross-OS compatibility at the source code level. Windows (in the rare case you can actually get the source code) is the worst.
How much of this revenue is for updates of older windows hardware/software to XP?
Does there revenue include the price of all hardware that is shipped with XP? Just because they were forced to buy XP doesn't mean that they will run XP on it. All this shows is that the Microsoft Tax is still in place.
Was hardware sold without any OS left out of the survey, put in the Windows column, or was it placed in the Unix column?
Does any internet survey show a increse in the percentage of Windows servers to Unix ones? This would be more intresting to know. If the Unix/Linux percentage is still increasing, and the Windows is decreasing, it would be another point on the Cost-of-using Microsoft products.
As it is, this survey is only of interest to retailers who sell the hardware, not to anyone who actually have to use it.
Just think before giving something a stupid name. Expect anything with a reasonable name to get it changes soon. How would you like to tell your secratory to:
Take the output from hairy vibrator, pipe it through leaky condom, and post the results on your hairy ass server so we can review it in ekiga [japanese porn magazine?]. Make sure that you have properly configured your copulating monkey for best results.
Oooh! Ekiga is a much more meaningful name than GNOME Meeting. GNOME naming just gets better and better. I know the last time I wanted to search for font information, overly sexually active monkeyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo was the very first thing that popped into my head.
If you believe that some of the hospital staff is not partially at fault, then you are either not a proponent of personal responsibility, or you are a contradicting yourself.
If someone replaced your peanut butter with baby shit, are you responsible because you did not have locks on your cabinet doors? Shouldn't you take personal responsibility for the security of your peanut butter. You should have obvoiusly buy peanut butter with at least a $800.00 lock built into each bottle, and put it into a hermetically sealed $100,000 cabinet with a bank vault quality of lock built into it. If you don't, it's your personal responsibility when someone does something like this. The person who did the swap has only a minor role in the problem.
how damn much is someone supposed to spend on a lousy $300.00 PC on their desk to secure it from assholes? Why should they have to hire 3 expensive professionals full time to guard it from assholes day and night? It's a cheap piece of crap, but it is their pice of crap; they didn't buy it so that some asshole they don't even know could play shithead games with it.
Lets try this: someone breaks into your house, and eats the rancid pizza that has been sitting under you sofa for the last month. He gets sick and is hospitalized for two months. Are you responsible for his medical bills for not properly cleaning up that pizza?
Anyway, back on topic. I think you need to understand shades of grey - the students are clearly most at fault for being the ones who actually caused the damage.
Lets make a less explosive example. Lets say that these students were throwing bricks through the front windows of a house, then backing a cement mmixer full of cow shit and dumping it through the hole.
You would place much blame on the window maker, for knowingly manufacturing a insecure device; the brick maker, for making a device specifically used to break windows; the cement mixer company for designing a mechanism for injecting neferous substances into homes; and the rancher, for manufacturing such a foul substance.
Since the rancher paid the student to remove the cow-dung, and didn't specifically state the method of said desposal, whatever method he used should not be totally his responsibility.
Now, just change cow-shit to adware, cement mixer to internet, and window to PC security, and what do you have?
Thus this student shouldn't suffer sever penalties, since he was cooerced into it by these said entities.
The article doesn't say what indicators the Harvard-Smithsonian group used, just that they think their indicators are better.
Their indicators are obviously better because it proves what they wanted proven. Any indicaters that go against the desired results are obviously poor ones.
Aaaccckkk! My head is aching. How is that possible!
It can also run ps2 games? That can't be possible! They you have to have an entire PS2 bolted onto the box. I think my head is ablout to explode! This is getting too complicated.
OH NO! It can also play PS1 games. I'M SO CONFUSED! Does it play PS1 games, or does it play PS2 games, or does it play PS3 games, or does it play movies? It can't possibly do more than one of them! My head is about to explode!
It has a little light on the front when you turn it on! How can it possibly turn on a light, and play games? That is impossible! Nobody could possibly do that! That would almost be like a VCR (Very Confusing Red-lights) that did something other than blink 12:00!
No more, I beg of you! Keep that infernal monster away from me!
This chip won't be popular until you can package it into a small box, sell it for less than the cost to build it, with high end audio/video built in, and someone develops games for it.
This is a nice little machine you have here. You wouldn't want it to burn down, now, would you. For only a small fee of 49.95 a year we'll make sure nothing like that happens. You wouldn't want that to happen now, would you.
Yup, rent a crappy OS that is so bad, that an industry was created to sell patches to duct-tape over these major vulnerabilities. Now the original manufacturer admits that you need these patches to keep it running, and is now renting their version of these patches on an annual basis.
Now, where is the incentive to fix the problems in the OS?
They better keep off my property! I bought me one of them there tracks of land on the moon, and am planning on retireing there. I don't wanna have them mess it up fore I can get there, or I'll hafta go with my second choice:

Isn't one of the by products Hydrogen?
Umm... No.

Taking another's content and selling it for profit is
pirating.
No it isn't. That would be a copyright violation.
Piracy requires a boat, and a large body of water; and possibly a parrot and a wooden leg.

they haven't managed to break anything, they've done a lot of good work. We're not going to use that as a model for what we want to do,
That doesn't sound promising.

In other news, 133 out of 1000 PC's in Poland run an OS other than Windows.
Ok. Let me get this strait.
It can run ps3 games, and play movies.

Ask them to install Windows on a machine while it is connected directly to the internet.
That should be fun.
And after that, all it will be used for is beowulf clusters...

Maybe if they put a reflector on the moon that you could point a laser beam at, and time the round trip time.
Oh, wait, they already did that. The skeptics are still stupid.
I guess we'll have to build a Great Wall of China on the moon, which everyone knows is the only man-made thing visible from space.
However, I don't think we should go to the moon at all. I think we should get our house in order first.
