You want the water to never go below room temperature to avoid condensation on the outside of the pipes. I've seen condensation build up on the outside of a water tank.
That's an interesting theory that goes completely against the grain of market forces.
I'd say that men start LEAVING the field when it doesn't give them a path for advancement. And that usually happens when the jobs become easier, or less profitable.
Men are more agressive in life and their job. Side effect of testosterone.
Women are attracted to jobs that are secure. Secure jobs pay less.
"Unlike the apple - where you can "burst" it all into your stomach at once with no penalty - bandwidth is sold on the contingency that it's going to be used over time."
This is the worst analogy that I can remember reading on Slashdot.
The third world countries don't have the money for it. And the developed countries just pour their money back into the bottomless pit called "Health Care".
"Once again this is due to your ideological inflexibility."
Out of curiosity, what brand of ideology do I subscribe to? I'm just curious as to where you've pigeonholed me.
"He had no power to effect any change. If he had become the president then he would have had the power to do something about it. As a private citizen there was very little he could do."
Interesting. I was told that when Nixon lost the presidential election to Kennedy in Chicago due to voter fraud, he was furious. And then he fixed the system so it couldn't happen again. So, either I was lied to or you're wrong.

You ate 38 jelly beans for breakfast. Your momma is so fat; when she ran away she took up all four sides of the milk carton. Bill Clinton dyed his hair bright purple and joined a heavy metal band.
All three statements above are a lie. Are you hurt? Is your mother hurt? Is Bill Clinton hurt?
No.
"Well I don't want to get into a detail discussion about the plight of the Palestinians here..."
Seriously? Then don't bring up such a hot topic. It forces me to address it with a rebuttal. Otherwise it looks like I'm conceding your point.
" I am only counting the deaths that will be caused by our own bombing. Last time we attacked them we killed over 50,000 people and of course more died as a result of our destruction of crucial infrastructure such as electric generation facilities, water treatment plants, roads and bridges and such. We also killed something like 30,000 people in Afghanistan. I am presuming that we will kill at least 10,000 people in Iraq which is a very conservative estimate. "
I've had a VERY hard time getting consistent numbers about the gulf war. Civilian deaths have gone from 30k a WEEK during the war to less than a thousand for the whole war. But I find it hard to believe that we directly bombed civilians to the tune of 30k deaths. The sheer amount of effort and ammo required to kill that many people would not go unnoticed.
"If we did not invade then he would have no need to deploy those weapons."
And this is the most ridiculous statement you've made so far. Not even Hitler came up with the idea of killing his own people as a deterrent against invasion. It's monstrous if true and would be reason enough to depose the rulers of Iraq.
At what point do you think it's appropriate to invade another country?
"I am doing no such thing. Try another line of attack if you want to. Lying is not an effective argument method."
Excuse me? Your agreements show that you don't believe in invading Iraq. Currently Iraq is ruled by a cruel dictator. There is only ONE way to improve that country and it's to remove it by force. Any argument to the contrary, even "Well, if Al Gore was president, we wouldn't be invading." is saying that you prefer Sadamm to be in power. Sounds like sticking up for tyranny to me.
"We have no interests there except oil and I for one believe that's it's wrong to kill people and take their stuff even if that stuff is oil."
Lying is not an effective argument method.
"State the problem, consider the available options and choose the one with causes the least amount of harm. So far I have not even heard what the problem actually is."
Seriously? We've fought a war, committed sanctions, and conducted inspections, and enforced no-fly zones and you STILL don't know what the problem is? A big help is to imagine yourself as the leader of the U.S. and withdrawing from Iraq without doing anything. Imagine the ramifications.
"The fact is however that the US govt had no objection to that when it happened and it's a bit silly to have any objection to it now that's too late."
Er, the US didn't have a problem with that. You are who has the problem with civilian causalities(From the Gulf War). And when I pointed out that Sadamm is willing to kill his own people, you switch to the line of argument "Well; now the US can't say anything about Sadamm killing his own people because they didn't say anything when it happened before. And now it's too late."
So, back to where we started from. Gore didn't invent the internet, but it's a cute joke. You say it effected the elections in Florida. I say that the amount of people who voted for Bush because of this, were canceled out by the people who voted for Gore because they liked the color of his tie.
How many people stayed home and didn't go out and vote because they heard that the exit polls on the news telling them that Gore won? I must admit, I wish they did the whole thing over again. The margin of victory was too small for me.
What if it's because we're doing something RIGHT? What if by accepting the best and brightest from all over the world, we're leaving these heavily armed countries with the dregs of humanity?
I'd just have them pay a tax when they renew their vehicle stickers. The state keeps track of their mileage and charges them for the miles traveled since the last year.
I've never been to Oregon, but I'd be in shock if they didn't have a gas tax. It's a great tax, people who drive more pay more in taxes. Just like this stupid new proposal.

yeah, but to do that you'd need a heater to either heat your toilet water, or along the pipe to your computer.
OR, you can just use a bucket at room temperature.
You want the water to never go below room temperature to avoid condensation on the outside of the pipes. I've seen condensation build up on the outside of a water tank.
Huh. Well, you better go tell those people who make power supplies. They still put down Amps and Watts on the label!
"It took them 50 years to formulate this answer?"
Uh, can we get back to you on that one?

You didn't say "for business use".
You said "Browsers didn't used to be free until MS came along."
Which is wrong.
Feel free to admit that you were wrong at any time.
I won't hold my breath though.
What are you talking about? I never had to pay for Netscape. At the time I was getting into the WWW, Netscape was free for personal use.
That quote is horribly mangled.
They're having a huge Muslum problem at this time. The threat hangs above their heads daily, no need to verbalize it.
Photons have mass. That's why they get sucked into black holes.
All of the 1st world nations are among the worlds biggest polluters.
As long as women aren't prevented from becoming scientists because they're women, then the system is fine.
My estimate of the age of the universe is far superior and 100% accurate.
The universe is between one second and infinite years old.
Sheesh, you'd think they'd be able to narrow it down to within a billion years.

Really? Your contracts don't have that "We can kick you off our servers in case you do something we don't like, that we haven't thought of yet."?
I suggest that we send out more than one probe.
Not gonna happen.

Raise the gas tax to get the EXACT same effect.
