Okay, it might be tougher, but it might be tougher yet if you used solid state in conjunction with a 10 pound lead shell. But what's the point if it's already tough enough? Sorry for the bad humour, you get my point.
I know that, at one time, it would take up to six months to get a land line phone in Germany.
At one time, whatever. Not in the last 10 years. And Germany has one of the most modern phone networks in the world, both land line and mobile. Full ISDN coverage when half of the US landlines couldn't (and maybe still can't) run a V.90 modem at more than 40kbaud.
Microwave power transmission is not a figment of Maxis' imagination, incidently. According to Wikipedia, NASA did research on it during the 1970s and early 80s. Here's another entry mentioning it.
You're missing the point, I'm not sure whether deliberately or not: The GPL grants rights above and beyond copyright. DRM tries enforce copyright and even restricts your rights beyond it.
Whether the BSD license is more free than the GPL is irrelevant and off-topic in that context.
Eh? That's windows explorer, I agree it's annoying. But it really doesn't have anything to do with the interface guidelines implemented in menu and tool bars.
What is the GPL other than a plain-text digital rights management scheme? Seriously, I want to know.
DRM schemes typically are understood to be devices to limit your rights, or at the very least to ensure that you do not overstep your rights given by copyright law. The GPL, on the other hand, grants additional rights which are not yours under copyright law. The former really is a usage restriction, the latter is the opposite. Furthermore, DRM typically designates technical solutions, so plain-text DRM is really kind of an oxymoron (a humorous one at that); it's not a DRM scheme in the same way as the ITMS EULA is not.
You can do that, you could also record the music while playing it back. Both lead to a decrease in quality, because you're converting it back and forth. The relatively best choice would be to rip the CD into some lossless container like FLAC.
The PHP reference documentation isn't a Wiki, but it has comments for every function. It shows both the goods and the bads, there are often important examples and information on bugs or odd behavious, but on occassion it's drowned by questions already answered 10 times etc. The goods outweigh the bads.
You've got 5 or so fixed sizes (in Windows anyway), that's still a step back from an arbitrary size, not to mention having them animated. I mean, personally I don't think it's much of a step backwards, but feature-wise I guess it is.
FWIW, the Apple HIG specifically forbids icons in menus.
Really? Wow, that sucks. I mean, using only an icon in a menu would be pretty dumb, but who does that? I've never seen that in any large Windows program. But most programs provide the command icon along with the command title in a menu. That way, the next time you can easily use a toolbar icon for that command, learning by doing. (Java Swing UI guidelines mandate this, too, afaik.) Of course, if your toolbar isn't that large to begin with, there isn't much use in providing the icons in the menu.
I agree it is poorly worded. (And unlike everyone else, I don't like the overall quote that much.) I guess "all living forms" is supposed to refer to all form of life now, as said more clearly in the next sentence: "Therefore, all present forms of life arose from ancestral forms that were different."
I'm sure Dan would set up an extra account with >400 comments to add additional links to his site here and there... Nah, the guy just has a lot of fans. I count myself one of them, and while I'd probably have been to lazy to write the grandparent post, I agree 100%. Dan's Data's probably the only review site where on occassion I've read about stuff I have positively zero interest in because I knew it'd be amusing nevertheless.
Eh? Dan has written numerous articles on battery technology, I doubt even his worst foes will claim he doesn't have a basic understanding of it. You on the other hand... Or, if you prefer a more constructive approach, why not try some reading comprehension: "For best results, lithium ion batteries shouldn't be loaded to more than "1C". The C there stands for the capacity of the battery; the idea is that a 1000mAh-capacity battery shouldn't be asked to deliver more than 1000mA of current." That's the sentence before the one you quote. I didn't add the link, it's in the original, and it also contains helpful information on how to understand what the 1C refers to. You don't actually need it, though since...
although faster you are discharing the battery, the less actual energy they tend to provide.
See, that's what he - and the 3rd party site - are saying. The factor C is just a number indicating at what currents the battery draining starts to be efficient. Different chemistries have different values of C.
I certainly have only a basic understanding of battery technology, but it all seemed pretty clear in the review, and more so once I checked out the linked page.
Yes, that's what I meant when I said "facing each other". I'm in Germany; we don't have seperate postal codes per side of the street - TBH that still sounds kind of odd;) - but our house numbering scheme is identical, down to the rule to start closest to the city center.
The Netherlands postcode scheme is really much more clever. It includes check digit algorithms that will tell you if the building number should be odd, even, neither, either)
So two houses next to each other (or facing each other) typically have a different postal code?
The qSearch figures are search-specific but not necessarily web-search specific. For example, a search performed at Yahoo Sports would count toward Yahoo's overall total. That's important to understand.
For example, "channel" driven searches were reported by comScore as making up 58 percent of Yahoo's total searches in January 2003. The same could be true of other non-pure search sites, such as MSN and AOL.
and
Yahoo: Shows searches at any Yahoo-owned web site including those of AltaVista, AllTheWeb and Overture.
Haahahaaha. If you don't mind I'll use that as my new sig. Unfortunately it's a few characters too long to add your nick, so your ID will have to do. If you do mind, don't hesitate to set a copyright lawyer on me and I'll remove it stat.
How would they get feedback? There's a feedback link at the bottom of every search, but I can't imagine a lot of people using that. The only thing I can imagine is they served additional feedback interfaces to those random people.
How are any of those exploits? Maybe boot sector viruses apply, if you're generous. (AFAIK boot sector viruses are all but exctinct, anyway.) But CIH? The BIOS is affected, but it's not to blame for the spreading of the virus. You could just as well claim that CIH is a hard disk virus, because it also erases files on the HDD. And the Pentium thing? Like you say, it's a bug. Some software bugs have the potential to be exploited, for instance the the bug of not creating a large enough array and/or not checking the size of an incoming string. But I don't think I have seen an actual exploit for the Pentium bug in the wild - not to mention a security exploit that would endanger the whole system.

The Viper has got to be the most hideous PC case ever released to mass market. What on Earth were they thinking? I wonder if it sold well.

And typically the menus have the associated icon attached to the command, which helps learning the icons for future usage.

Your job would not be so frustrating if you simply treated your theory as it is - a theory.
Yes, like gravitation. You freaking moron. Uh, I mean mormon. Bah.
Not to mention the Arab terrorists who carpet bomb countries and torch down villages.

No, but the opposite side of the street does.

Two times the characters, two times the chance to make a typo.

I tried that, but apparently HTML counts toward the number of characters you can use.
