I had a friend who had a nightmare scenario based on what you have described. He had a many page (30+) document with a complex structure, he went in to check something and accidently hit the space bar, it completely reflowed the entire document and autosave preserved the broken changes while he was trying to figure out WTF happened. Undo was no help and he had to copy and paste everything into a new document and redo the formatting because there was no way to bring back to original formatting within that Word file.
Actually the disease you speak of is a direct result of the design of Word and its propriatary format. I was reading an interview with an MS programmer on the Office team and the topic of reveal codes came up, he basically said that because of the way Word stores object's it's completely impossible to have a meaningfull reveal codes feature. This should be obvious to anyone who has looked at the horror which is Office generated HTML. To this day I cringe several times a month when working in Word when I realize just how much easier the task was in WordPerfect.
How is GPS not accurate enough for stopping? We can land planes or fly small helicopters with cm accuracy with differential GPS and WASS, stopping a motor vehicle is trivial by comparison.
This is why the old HP MIPS CPU's were so cool, every memory area was ECC and all calculations were run on two cores, if the cores disagreed then they ran the calculation again, if they disagreed again then the CPU shut down and the operation was offloaded to another CPU in the machine.
The most fun thing about all this, the government won't regulate interstate business practices that damage citizens but uses the interstate commerce clause to arrest cancer patients in California that grow weed to help with nausia.
You're getting a sweet rate, I live in NE Ohio and pay 11.5 cents/KWh and an ~100% infrastructure surcharge (Ohio Edison sucks ass and got a sweet deal from PUCO to "allow" deregulation) so I pay an effective rate of 23 cents/KWh, even so with all of my major appliances being natural gas except my AC I haven't had an electic bill over $150, but I did put in a super efficient AC unit (mostly because I want to be able to run it off a whole house generator, otherwise the extra cost would have probably never paid for itself). Average summer high temp is 82, peaks can be into high 90's on a regular basis.
Current solar cells are power neutral at about 7 years in most of the US and have a life expectancy of 30-50 years depending on who's numbers you believe. As to the polution from their production, it isn't nearly as bad as the toxic, carcinogenic, nuclear waste spewing out of the coal plants that produce 51+% of the US's power.
How do you tackle leakage current? Even if part of a chip is not in use it still uses power in current designs, and AFAIK not even clockless designs completely eliminate parasitic current loss in unused components.
Actually, no they aren't bought without OS. MS Select and Enterprise programs state that in order to install that licensed copy of the client OS you must first have a legitimate copy already installed as they are upgrade licenses to Professional edition.
I love how everyone fixates on click through rates even though most advertisers stopped doing that years ago. Madison avenue doesn't care if you interacted with the ad, they are just happy that they got their brand into your brain It's the same mentality as there's no such thing as bad publicity, even if the ad's annoy they at least got the brand out there. The fact that technology like adblock allows some percentage of viewers to remove the ad content has little impact on the overall operation of the advertiser, just as vcr's with fastforward has little impact in the tv realm, they just have to get through to enough of the sheeple to make the ad effective.
Except that flash ISN'T faster than HDD's. Even when you consider latency into the equation the slow as hell read (and even worse write) speeds of flash are overtaken by HDD's. The very best flash drives achieve 22MB/s read, SATA drives can sustain in excess of 70MB/s, write speed is around 5MB/s for flash compared with 40MB/s for HDD's
Come on, there is no way that a 7,200RPM drive will have an average latency of 4.16ms, that's the pure physical latency of the platter! The transfer rate is similarly bogus, it's the burst transfer rate of the interface, not even the outer track transfer speed. Guess we have to wait for someone like storagereview to throw iometer at this beast and get some real info.
I'm 6'4" and live in Cleveland, don't tell me minivan's are just for small women and kids in fair weather! If I'm in the front or middle row's I'm fine for leg room, though admitadly the back is a bit cramped even when pulled all the way back. As for the potholes, our state bird is the orange barrel yet I have never had to replace any suspension pieces, pay attention when you drive and you'll be fine =)
It's called a minivan, it can haul more people, has more cargo room, and on average gets about 50% better fuel economy. Hell I wish Ford hadn't changed the Windstar, with the older model's you can haul 4'x8' sheets of sheet rock and plywood, try that with most SUV's! There is very little justification for a solid framed enclosed truck, for the people who need them I am fine with it, for the other 95 percent I resent their terrorist loving butts.
Sooner or later, you'll get hit... either a browser drive-by, a remote exploit, email payload or something you installed on purpose
Well I don't run IE, I have a harware firewall and the windows firewall enabled, don't run Outlook, and don't install "free" software with spyware/adware payloads. For that matter so does the rest of my extended family, including my grandparents, and so I don't have the calls that so many other tech people seem to get from their relatives. It's not THAT hard to avoid this stuff, most people are just ignorant and don't put in the effort to become educated.
Uh, except that, at least in the US, the carrier checks your ID when you board the plane. Haven't flown internationally since 9/11 so I can't comment there.
The patch shouldn't have been needed because they should have had the stations on a VPN with IDS, no way for the worm to get in. I mean it requires port 445 to be open, NO firewall should have that port open from the internet!
Uh, they've taken out several M1's and several APC's with IED's in Iraq. If you bury a 500+ pound bomb the tank is going to be royally screwed no matter what.
This kind of system seems like a perfect use for the electronically fired caseless bullet system that an australian developed a decade ago called metal storm. It can fire up to 1 million rounds a minute, sufficient to make a cloud that would basically be impossible for the incoming round to fly through. The problem I have with such a system is that it necessitates active radar use, which just makes you a big target for radar guided weapons.
Barring a request from the operators of the named sites I would think it is perfectly legal to target any publicly available service. Now, that's not saying it's good etiquette. It's not, but it IS, and should be, legal. Btw time.nist.gov is perfectly acceptable as that is one of the mandates of NIST, see here.

You would use MathML which is supported nativly by Firefox 1.5+ and with an available selection of plugins under older version of Mozilla and IE.

No, it doesn't:
Seek time information has not been released yet, which has traditionally been considered the problem area for perpendicular recording devices.

Uh, I flew in June and October last year and had to both times.
