This is the first price increase since 1999, at less than the rate of inflation, over a bit of pocket change. 42 cents? I've likely got a hundred times that in loose pennies scattered around the house. If you've got a domain and it's not worth an extra four dimes and two pennies, then drop it because it wasn't worth jack in the first place. There are things worth complaining about and this isn't one of them.
No Multics? No VAX or PDP systems? No SUN? So we magically jumped from the mainframe data center to the personal computer with nothing in between? Hell, there's not even a token mention of the mainframe. Complete load of crap from people who haven't a clue there is more to the world than the desktop.
The apocryphal story of NASA spending millions of dollars to invent a pressurized ball point pen that would work in zero gravity and USSR deciding to use a pencil comes to my mind.
apocryphal - Definition: Of questionable authenticity; spurious.
I'm curious why you would use a story
you know is fake for support? Gutsy move admiting it, though.
While it's true these can not produce more energy than the astronaut's muscles can produce, that isn't relevant for a lot of applications. For example, there are wristwatches that autowind themselves from the wearer's motions during the day--it's not taking a lot of energy from the movement, but it doesn't require much. In the ame way, you could power devices with low but constant requirements, such as monitors for vital statistics, without having to worry about charging batteries. (Not that I'm saying that would be an ideal application, as a watch battery would sound more suitable to me; but then, I'm not an engineer for NASA.)
Those who think Postfix is a suitable replacement for Exchange don't understand the power of Exchange. Those who think Exchange is a suitable replacement for Notes don't understand the power of Notes.
To keep on a theme, that sparkling rosé that gave its life to make me happy tonight came from Alsace. Now, the bottle is marked as a product of France. So, can we conclude that the Alsace always belonged to France?
Of course, the answer is no. It's been traded back and forth between France and the Holy Roman Empire/Germany multiple time; with the occasional change of name to Elsass-Lothringen. At the time in question, it had ended up with Germany after the Franco-Prussian War; it then became French territory again with the Treaty of Versailles.
So, you see, the handling of territory was an important part of the treaty. The labeling of wines is merely a byproduct.
The US Senate never signed the Treaty of Versailles after WWI, which contained among other things the legal basis for naming wines. So as long as an American winery puts its location on the label, it can use champagne as a generic for sparkling wine.
I, on the other hand, am trying a sparkling rosé this year just to be different. So there!
Why didn't you just put "Being John Malkovich" and "Bubba Ho-tep" in your post instead of using unnamed links? It's not like it makes your point any better; in fact, it makes it weaker to those who don't click on links. At the very least, you could have anchored the links to the film titles.
The Department of Defense was created (under the name National Military Establishment) in 1947 from the both the War Department and the Department of the Navy. With the rivalry between the organizations, there was no chance of using the name associated up to that point only with the Army.
The title deals only with permafrost, while the comment from the editor deals with bogs, something that has nothing to do with permafrost aside from being another kind of terrain common in more nordic regions. If the editor had stayed on track, there wouldn't be any confusion.
As for the articles, the only thing remotely close to disagreement is the comment that if if it gets hot enough for all the permafrost underneath the lakes to melt then the water will be able to sink into the ground and you won't have a permafrost lake anymore. (Although I'm not sure how saying that once the permafrost is melted we don't have to worry about excess greenhouse gasses from permafrost is in any way reassuring.)
Congrats. You've just given the wrong instructions for everyone with a Nintendo DS. Not to mention legacy gear with doesn't support WPA.
Choose a password...
Where's the explantion about using the password on devices trying to connect to the access point? Whoops, you mean the instructions need to cover software for Windows, MacOS, and Linux? How about people using multiple access points; where's the explanation about having seperate passwords for each AP?
I don't think I have ever enjoyed browsing a site that has exclusively used flash.
On the contrary, I love browsing a site that's done exclusively in Flash. I get a screen with nothing but the flashblock button, I realize the site has nothing but crap on it, and I close the window. It's simple, saves me the time of wading through another worthless site, and allows me to speed along to a more clueful site.
That would be once for my laptop, once for my desktop system, once for my primary machine at work, once for the kiosk in the server room, twice for the kiosks in the lab...all being redone every time I clean out the cookies.
But the problem is it's not just the Post. There's all these newspapers doing it. Repeatedly, I've had people send me links to what I would assume are interesting stories...only to be hit with a registration page. If I'm not willing to put up with the hassle for my local paper, I'm sure not going to bother for the West Bumfuck Tribune out of Idaho. CNN, Fox News(1), ABC News, even MSNBC aren't doing registrations, so guess who gets my traffic.

Time to go for a flamebait moderation.
Just shut up and get over it.

All Inuit are Eskimos; but not all Eskimos are Inuit. Some Eskimos are Yupik. As for being an insensitive term, apparently it depends on where you live.

Mainly because NSA doesn't have any cameras up there. You're thinking of NGA, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The signs were too small. All you'll see in the final resolution is a thin white line. You're talking about possibly four or five pixels wide.
Because I always choose clorinated water to ensure the maximum corrosion in my computer's cooling system.

DoD was the War Department
Nope.
The Department of Defense was created (under the name National Military Establishment) in 1947 from the both the War Department and the Department of the Navy. With the rivalry between the organizations, there was no chance of using the name associated up to that point only with the Army.
As an American, I'm offended you think I don't know about Boxing Day.
It's the day you celebrate all the brave lads who died to keep China British.
You can't argue that they abused their monopoly powers in order to *become* a monopoly.
They did something even better. They abused IMB's monopoly powers to become a monopoly.

When it's part of the game. If I body-slammed someone on the street, I'd be heading to jail. If I do it on a football field, it's good play.
Whoops, we're still in orbit. Let's try hitting it again!
If everyone else has a business degree, then a technical degree will be worth more.

Or for faster service.
I say since we set fire to your White House we get to choose the spelling.
Yes, but we beat you to torching the capital when we burned York in 1813. (Yeah, it was only the capital of Canada, which wasn't a real country then.)
