As a child-post post points out, 1ml of pure water at 4C weighs 1g, and the weight of the bubbles, sugar, etc. are not of consequence since this is an approximation.
355ml = approx 355 grams of fluid.
Oh, I suppose we can add the weight of the can in there. Quick Googling gives it another 16 grams for an empty can. So: now we're up to ~371 grams.
Still: it's an approximation to give someone the idea of what it really weighs. The other one I use is that a regular disposable water bottle is usually a fraction over a pound when full. So: American pound is a water bottle. True: many are half-liter so it's more like 1.1 pounds, but that's the whole idea of these real-life comparisons: so we don't run around saying things like "it weighs exactly as much as a 12 ounce regulation can of diet Coke with 3/4 of an ounce having already been drunk out of it."
In Word 2007 and Word 2010:
Shift+F1
Check "Show all Formatting Marks"
Yeah, it took Microsoft 15 years, but they got there.
I just pulled up Word 2000: Shift+F1, big question mark comes on screen. Click on anything, even text, and get its help or formatting. Starting in Word XP (aka 2002), they popped that into the task pane to the right.
To be fair, most of the time you don't want to see the formatting as much as whack some formatting you didn't want. CTRL+Space will remove any font formatting on text, while CTRL+Q will knock any paragraph down to its style. CTRL+SHIFT+N will knock any paragraph down to Normal style, which is usually pretty generic.
You can usually get a head start on document cleanup by CTRL+A, CTRL+SHIFT+N,CTRL+Q,CTRL+Space.
LIAR! The Death Panels crap started over a section of the bill that would have provided optional will-writing services to people over a certain age, or with life threatening conditions. They then kept the lie going even after that section was dropped from the bill, because imbeciles like you were eating it up so well.
Worse than that - the "Death Panel" was originally proposed by Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia - Republican. Something similar had strong Republican support as early as 2003, but the Republican mantra for last few years seems to be to be against anything the Democrats are for, even if it was their idea in the first place.
The kids that the right all professes to care about when they're railing against Planned Parenthood, they're the ones that are going to go hungry.
The parent got modded FUNNY? Wild...
It's been mentioned many times that the right is very gung ho about protecting the sanctity of life, right up until the moment of birth. After that: screw them.
They pay more attention to that (postal mail) than to emails or phone calls.
It's admirable, worth a shot, and I'll do it, but in the past some of the (R)s have been quoted as stating that they'd go against the wishes of their constituents if the party wanted something. I believe one was Chuck Grassley (R- Iowa).
Using Republican code words undercuts any valid points you may have. I'd respectfully suggest you knock it off if you want to have a serious conversation.
Took me a moment to catch the code word, it's been so ingrained. "Democrat" instead of "Democratic".
Yeah, I realize that the feature isn't for everyone. It's tempered by the fact that I had to enable this functionality specifically,
Hmm - I just installed it today and didn't think anything of it. A few hours later I was in the store and took a picture planning to email it to my wife, when I saw an "uploading" prompt. I started digging around and finally saw that it was Google+, and it was configured to "upload photos via mobile networks".
I didn't want the thing sucking down battery that quickly, so I set it to do it only on wifi. Having read this story, I may go back to the "mobile networks" thing.
This is exactly the sort of shit that happens when you let people who are athletically talented, but often academically deficient, into universities solely for the purpose of playing some game. Of course they won't exhibit good judgment when using social media sites.
To be fair, this form of poor judgement is usually a part of just being young and immature. Lots of college students fall into this.
But it's a totally different situation when some of the stupidest athletes around are brought in to an academic setting just to play a sport.
Ah, this is a better one. I was at the University of Illinois in the late 1980s when Marcus Liberty came to school. While a phenomenal high school player, he couldn't crack a 14 on the ACT after four times of trying. Still: got into the school (perhaps pushing someone else out) and he and many of the other athletes were notorious for line/queue-jumping, and the occasional mob action.
There were quite a few "good apples", such as Kendall Gill. I met him a few times and he was pretty solid.
I should think as a American you should be happy that police are finally changing their focus from drug users to home break ins and car thefts.
Nope - that would take too big of a paradigm shift. Currently, the drug arrests are seen as a boon by local law-enforcement - the general community is convinced there's a 'war', and the police (with ever-tightening budgets) get to keep the booty from any drug arrests. RICO laws in place.
Mark my words - they'll use this technology to track where drug sales are expected to take place and it will be the same old business as usual.
I cringed when I discovered for myself iTunes forces you to enter and keep your credit card details, just to be able to get access to the app store to just download free stuff even.
Oh,come now. There have been instructions for a long time on how to not need a credit card for free purchases.
The most disturbing thing to me about this story and question is that someone in the IT department was willing to open the port and allow the machine to stay connected without having root access, intimate knowledge of all installed versions of software and packages, and without relocating the server to an access-controlled datacenter. If I'm the head of IT, first I unplug and remove the box, then I talk to legal to see what needs to be done (audits, interviews, scans, etc), and then I reprimand the person in IT who said it could be done.
To be fair, TFS didn't say that that IT was going to or had already opened the port. They simply wouldn't consider it without getting access and info on the machine first.
As other posts said, sounds like IT is actually being nicer than they have to, and could have just taken the machine and given a reprimand.
(Actually, in many of these shops, nobody has authority to reprimand a PhD or "head of a division".)
A little hunting around and I've found that the TRIAL version of OneNote 2007 turns into a reader once the trial period ends. Not sure if it's also true of 2010, but the 2007/2010 file formats are the same.
So: maybe VirtualBox and a copy of WinXP and OneNote...
Sorry: this is a technical solution to a deeper problem.

To be fair, his anti-corporate point was that IN SPITE of Google being a corporation out to make a buck, most of the results of its actions end up being good for the internet as a whole. THAT'S insightful. It's like discovering that the door-to-door salesman that you may hate has gone ahead and filled in the pot-holes and filled in the cracks to get to the houses easier.
Madoff went to jail for helping crash the economy.
To be more specific: Madoff went to jail for personally scamming and lying to the rich and powerful, costing them money.
The trail between him and his victims is very clear. The trail between the victims and the perps in the more recent problems isn't as clear. Also: Madoff did scam the rich and powerful, whereas the more recent financial crises have worked out quite well for those who already had money. Bonuses are bigger than ever on Wall Street, but "Main Street", not so much.
Please prove your point with examples, otherwise I'm not seeing where you're drawing this conclusion from. Give just one example where going to a family share plan does NOT save money.
It's possible that the parent post is arguing that since the total number of minutes available goes DOWN on a per-line basis, you have to add minutes back in to make it balance out. This would bump you up to the next tier, and cost more.
My own experience is that you end up calling the other numbers in the plan for free, so those don't count against your minutes. Also: since you have a single pool of minutes shared among accounts, you use them more efficiently than if you had the same minutes split up among accounts. Kinda like having two hard drives which are 90% full; you can't really save any large files any more, but if you had a single larger drive, you could. (Sorry it's not a car analogy.)

For you/we Americans, 350 grams is a fraction under the weight of a 12 ounce can or pop/soda.
(weird note: the can of Coke in front of me says caffeine content is 46mg/12 fl oz. Way to go and mix your units!)

Probably this story from last January.
You must be new here.

Just from the description, I was thinking of the large, white ball that bounds along the beach, catching anyone who tries to escape.
It is a colander after all - straining is its job.
