That's the problem - the big name supermarkets are cheaper than the local high-street shops and nobody really has time to go round all the little shops to do their shopping.
Then, to feed a whole family, stocking up on vegetables/fruit for a whole week requires a large fridge, otherwise the food goes off. Pre-cooked meals can just be thrown in the freezer for several months.
By mid-afterrnoon on a Saturday, Tesco's will probably run out of some vegetables or other, but will still have plenty of instant meals.
Timelapse movies of clouds are a good way of filling up disk space. They are easy to make and just a couple of hours recording will fill up several Gigabytes of data.
There are only two types of house price location in the UK:
1. The places where people want to live but can't afford (houses within 100-metre catchment areas of good schools, rural villages with traditional architecture), and
2. The places where people can afford and don't want to live (inner city suburbs with street gang crime)
Anywhere in (1) had bloated house prices due to cheap credit.
The advertisements on the sides of public transport buses read "Fed up of paying fuel duty to go nowhere, take the bus instead and stop your wallet from going empty". Otherwise many people are choosing to cycle in to work, especially university staff.
nd were very, very carefully accounted for, but the plant also built other unusual LEGO sets like big crude-looking gears that only sort of meshed with the standard LEGO bricks.
Those were the big yellow gears, medium sized blue gears, and small red gears, and had the large black caterpillar track? I had a set with those, although I have forgotten what the original model was.
I thought they had patents on the way the blocks connected together. Must have been 30 years ago, but Tic-Tac or another confectionary manufacturer came out with these orange/green/yellow plastic boxes for their product that could actually be stuck together like lego bricks, but they were sued for violating this patent (Not sticklebricks either).
For professional CAD, the entire system (hardware + software) has to be certified that it would run correctly for a good number of hours without any failures (memory leaks, lockups, floating-point exceptions). What an engineer sees with the latest workstation must match exactly with what the first software version did 20+ years ago.
Professional CAD systems require multiple view windows. Consequently hardware clipping of windows is required. This can be skipped for consumer cards as there will probably only be one screen sized 3D rendering window.
All of this costs money in terms of quality control and licensing, which can only be recovered through price differentation.
Can't they perform spectral analysis on the material - whatever the emission lines of H2O are are? Surely the cameras have wavelength filters?

First rule of research - When unable to verify the information yourself, always reference your sources - that way, you don't get blame if the information is wrong or biased.
In the early 80's, exchanging data between two "personal Computers" from different manufacturers required hauling one of the boxes to the other's place, two connectors, a cable, a soldering iron, a scope and a couple of manuals.
No real data communications engineer would travel anywhere without his RS-232 breakout box.
(I don't think Windows shipped with built-in support for TCP/IP until Windows 98, but correct me if I'm wrong).
Windows included a copy of the TCP/IP stack from FTP software with Windows 1995 (which in turn came from the Berkeley distribution). Before that, you had to get a custom DOS application from your ISP for sending/receiving E-mail and reading USENET.
Many different hardware were ideas were tried out as add-on boards. You could get i860's with built in network card (so you could download images straight into video memory).
There was the TIGA graphics architecture (TMS34010/34020/34082) which allowed you to write your own custom rasterization routines (drawing straight into the framebuffer). These boards actually offered 32-bit color (24-bit + 8-bit overlay) while Windows was still constrained to 16-bit color.
However, both of these ideas were killed off by Intel when they introduced the VESA video-bus.
'What was the year of Windows on the desktop?' and 'Why was Windows on the desktop successful?' and 'How did this happen?'
It has been asked many times. It was around 1995/1996, when Windows 95/NT came out. Previously, everyone used Windows 3.1, which was only suitable for reading E-mail or playing solitaire or checkers.
Microsoft's marketing slogan at the time was "Unix was legacy, Windows NT is the future", and the main selling feature was that Windows now offered a unified desktop API for writing applications, which could now all use the same command shortcuts.
A good few workstation vendors like DEC and HP believed this hype, and gave up their own UNIX OS's to switch to Windows NT. At this time, DEC Alpha's were the most powerful chip at the time, and 3D graphics cards with texture mapping still cost a three to four figure sum.
Such was Microsoft's grip on applications that some workstation vendors even had an add on i386 card just so that users could run their E-mail/spreadsheet applications in a window on a workstation.
Now, application developers want to use "skins" to customize the look and feel of their products and websites. Also, E-mail and other applications are available through any number of web browers and websites, and video can be streamed direct from the network, and not require a CD-ROM.
You could have come up with a better webpage than that. The Shirley Mckie case is a good place to start. The original event happened in January 14th, 1997. A decade later, a public enquiry is only just about to start in September 2008. There is a Wikipedia entry
Just imagine all the suspects involved with fingerprints on the brass cartridges:
1. The packing person who took the cartridges and placed them in a cardboard box.
2. The shop owner who took the cartridge out of the box to ensure it was a match with what the customer wanted.
3. The actual person who loaded the weapon.
If one fingerprint overwrites another, then it's not a problem. But what if the corrosion effect is additive and you get two patterns merged together. Would forensic experts be able to separate the two or would they get false positives with other fingerprints of innocent people?
What about the existing firewall commands? Surely, by just deleting the existing commands, you would be reducing system security?

As the middle classes grew in the UK, parents detested the 11-plus exam as labelling their offspring as "thick" for not being allowed into a grammar school, so she approved the "comprehensivisation of the school system" - all schools were to be converted into the American style comp In the immediate post-war period Britain had a tripartite system of grammar schools, technical schools and secondary modern schools, selection taking place by means of a competitive examination.

Look at ocean waves travelling along the coast line. While a wave can be said to have energy through the momentum of water, there is no actual wave particle itself, just the interaction of all the water molecules interacting together, along with gravity to keep everything together.

Fire a single photon at the right frequency toward both slits through a neon gas cloud. Then those atoms that encountered the photon should emit a faint glow?

The EU is doing just fine dealing with $5+ for a gallon of gas,
Are you kidding? So far Europe has had truck drivers go on strike against fuel tax, fuel delivery drivers go on strike for a 14% pay increase, annual electricity/gas bills rising at 40%/year threatening to push a quarter of all households (5 million families) into fuel poverty, councils raising the cost of school meals due to the expense of transportation. Even the police are having to cut back on front line staff due to the additional expense. Food bills have risen by 20% since the start of the year.
The advertisements on the sides of public transport buses read "Fed up of paying fuel duty to go nowhere, take the bus instead and stop your wallet from going empty". Otherwise many people are choosing to cycle in to work, especially university staff.
All of this is predicted to send house prices down by at least 10%, and then one minister tells people that should stop being so miserable about the rising cost of living.
