Yeah, "Google gives you the full 175". Bastard slashdot - I kept trying to follow up, but it was "Slow down cowboy!" for a good long time, so I said "Screw it, nobody reads at +2 anyway."
If you search for "hnc software", the first hit is Fair Isaac. The Fair Isaac web page has no mention of HNC. And yet, this is appropriate because HNC Software no longer exists since Fair Isaac bought them.
Google does the right thing, it's googlebombers who are messing with your head.
When you are in a rotating reference frame, you experience centrifugal force. Translating to a non-rotating reference frame makes the force disappear.
When you are in a stationary reference frame near a massive object like the earth, you experience gravity. Translating to a reference frame in free-fall makes the force disappear.
So if centrifugal force doesn't exist, then General Relativity says gravity doesn't exist.
I think the upshot of all this is: "Pedants Don't Exist". Now, what were we talking about again?
(Off-topic: there's a spider currently walking across my iBook's screen. It started near the bottom and now it's sat at the top, just under the 'Window' menu. Oooer!)

According to this index, it looks like living in Mumbai or New Dehli costs about 45% of what it costs in New York, and 1/3 what it costs in Tokyo.
Does it really cost 2.29 Rupees for a loaf of bread (I just bought one for $2.29) or can you really rent an apartment in Mumbai for under 3000 Rupees/month?
Hint: When I was in Turkey and the exchange rate was 400,000 lira to the dollar, I wasn't able to get a meal at any restaurant for less than a million lira.
You do realize that these people (F-Secure) are virus fighters? They intentionally infect all kinds of things all day long, so they can figure out how to cure them.
That one free report per year PER AGENCY is available online, no writing letters and waiting. So, you can go to the website once every 4 months and get a report from one of the agencies for free.
Available in the west and midwest for now, by September it will be available throughout the US.
There is a conversation on the Straight Dope Message Boards about this topic. The conclusion was that even factoring in Chernobyl, nuclear power kills fewer people per megawatt-hour generated than coal does.
My brother has a microwave with a knob that acts like an iPod scroll wheel. It sucks hard to use that thing, mainly because the first item that comes up is not "cook something" but "bacon" (alphabetical you know.)
I laugh at your claim of the existence of an "automobile". Surely anyone inventing such a device would be educated enough to know that it should be called either an "ipsomobile" or an "autokineticon."
Would anyone be surprised by an article titled "Bones Found in T-Rex Fossil"?
When a dog saves it's owners life by waking him up and getting him out of a burning house, then later takes a dump on the lawn while the firefighters are putting out the fire, does the headline say "Dog Saves Master, Takes Dump"?
Of course we accept airplane crashes. When an airplane crashes, air travel is not affected by any measurable amount - people still travel. The only event in memory that noticeably affected air travel was when a bunch of troglodytes hijacked 4 airplanes in one day and used them in spectacularly heinous attacks.
The only reason we want zero space shuttle crashes is because there are only three shuttles. United Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines have about 3000 aircraft, and let's say they fly an average of 3 legs per day.
If we had a fleet of 3000 space shuttles flying 10,000 missions a day, we certainly would accept 1 crash every twenty years.
There was a story that went around about a year ago about how the power lines for the hybrid drive went through the doors. This makes zero sense - my fuel and brake lines don't go through the doors of my standard car.

How you ask? I just kept all the free AOL floppies they kept mailing me 15 years ago.
Now if I could just find enough beverage glasses to use all these damn AOL coasters they've been sending in the last 8 years or so...

Yahoo says it will give you 418 "Ronald Hendrickson" pages, but only gives you 110.

Have you thought about the XPKQ? After what JRES did to interstate dairy commerce, I don't know how you can bring up that FISA crap.
And I've got lots more 4 letter acronyms where those came from, pal!

If you read "ROTS" as a word, it sounds like the english "rots" = sucks.
