I understand you don't want to spoil your kids, so it's the desktop that should do the traveling. Like in the old days, when we had to drag our desktops uphill to school and back home through the blistering cold. Which is nothing compared to my father, who dragged around a PDP-11...
Google refuses to index pages that aren't linked to by at least a gazillion other sites, submitted or not. My site, for example, has been up and running for nearly two months, submitted a few times and actually linked to by a few pages that are indexed by Google but it still doesn't appear *at all* in Googles index, not even far in the bottom.
Even if you enter site:www.....com in the search bar directly, it just says it doesn't know it. At least Yahoo has got it in there, never mind high ranked or not.
Let them breed. The 90% that survives are obviously more cancer-resistant than the others. In a few generations, cancer rates will be at acceptable levels.

You must be German - There's a whole world of darn good beers outside the Deutsche Reinheitsgebot. Try them, I promise you won't be disappointed.
Hoegaarden Grand Cru for example has curacao peel, many white beers and triples have a hint of coriander. Westvleteren 12 trappist has rye in it. Who would _dare_ not to call it a beer?
Depends on the area. My house shows the exact same satellite photograph both on google maps and google earth. As for the detail, I'm nearly able to see myself walking the dog.
Being faster is one thing, being user-friendly is another. What makes applications friendly are visual clues. If you never have to guess how things work but they just work, that makes an environment friendly to work with.
If you move the mouse cursor over something and it changes shape, you just *know* you can click there. When you drag something over the border of a window and it briefly curls up, you just *know* that you can fold the window. I think that's a whole lot more intuitive than holding it over the (often auto-hiding) footer bar until the desired window pops up.
I also expect newbie users to 'get' this with a lot less effort than figuring out that they have to press ctrl-C/ctrl-V (which, whithout doubt, stands for Copy/Vaste).
Now personally I'm also a keyboard person, so probably I wouldn't use this all that much. However this technique doesn't interfere with the existing copy/paste, it just gives an extra alternative to make life easier, which is a Good Thing. This actually is progress.
By the way, isn't an 11 megabyte AVI to demo something that a 54 kilobyte.jar does better a bit over the top?
...if the contract is terminated, you are no longer bound by the terms of the contract. By law, any clauses in any job contract that extend beyond termination of the job are null and void.
I'm kinda surprised that this works differently in the States, I'll keep that in mind should I ever mover there.
What surprises me even more though is the part where Google comes into the picture. I fail to understand how this should be their responsibility, as they weren't part of the original contract. MS, if you have any clue, sue your former employer, not Google.
Not just these days. Remember the McDonald's coffee case? What bothers me more, however, is that this US sueing culture seems to be winning ground here in Europe as well...
I go for months without listenning to any music at all, no big deal. ...for you. I can't share the opinion but I don't blame you with the state commercial 'music' is in nowadays. I generally have the radio playing in my car when driving to and from work, but believe me, there's a LOT more to music than what plays on there. Give it a try, it will give you a richer life.
Actually I think that other screenshot is way cooler: "Consider using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer and you will probably halt most of the bad stuff you could be getting. There are excellent alternatives such as Mozilla or Firefox."
Reminds me of a banking website that didn't work in Firefox due to non-standard Javascript. I sent them a fix, they put it online a few weeks later. From then on I could use their site for online banking.
Connect your TRS-80 to your soundblaster. Use your favorite audio program to record the noises, then burn those to CD. DO NOT use MP3 to compress them (lossy audio compression isn't a good idea if that audio represents data). Playing back the CD should do the trick for loading the data to your TRS-80 again.
If you can find a good TRS-80 emulator, you may be able to put the actual TRS-80 saving while the emulated one is loading (and vice versa) for saving and loading binary data to and from hard disk.
Why would you want it? For the same reason that you want Java on your phone. As a musician, that allows you to use it as metronome, tone-generator, guitar-tuner... I'm sure other uses are there, it's just a matter of thinking of them.

It's pretty common, happens all the time, not just to The So-Called Fantastic Four. Just look at the Incredibles. Coincidence? I think not...

Try attending a ballet or opera, and yelling "I have cheese in my butt!" at top volume.
Really?
