Spoken from experience, they have the longest life, they don't independently discharge very well, and charge memory is a trivial issue at best.
As far as whether to use rechargeables, of course! In the end, it's a money saver.
Two things to consider though - eventually you have to throw these away (rechargeable batteries do bomb out after a fashion), and rather than teh 1.5v that an alkaline battery puts out, they only put out about 1.3v. The effect from this, however, is usually pretty trivial. Also, there are some things that advise against putting rechargeable batteries into for this reason.
Let's never mind that this could set a precedent in naming standards, can't we just watch this fscking case end? NS is not responsible, the perpetrator is. Send the award to the federal level, let the Internal Revenue Service hunt him down and levy his check as if it were taxes. If he wants to protest, too bad - he may be out of the country now, but he was in the US then, IIRC, and that is how you base the penalty part.
1) Go to the mall and just look up inquisitively.
2) Watch as people gather around and do the same
3) Walk away, mind your own business
4) Return, note the crowd has shuffled about and/or rotated entirely
It is not clear as to why people do this. Note also that it is not adviseable to attempt to profit from this.
If you replace all these workers with robots (jokes about sales droids aside), you get staff who just doesn't care. It's because they weren't *programmed* to care when there wasn't enough catsup on your burger, or your pizza arrived cold, or insert a myriad of pissers here.
If the kid is a minor, the parents are ultimately responsible for the damages. Kid does arson, parents get the bill. That sort of thing.
Yeah, I know, arson is a poor comparison to music piracy.
The point is that the child is the responsibility of the parents, and it is as such completely up to the parents to take that responsibility. As such, I hate to say it, but RIAA is within rights to do this to the parents of kids.
Linus is the owner of the trademark to Linux. The spirit of Linux is very much open, with heavy regards to the GPL that GNU wrote up for the purpose of open software. To wit, it wasn't necessarily written for Linux, it was AFAICT written for FSF and adopted by the Linux dev team. Maybe RMS or one of his minions can clarify on the history of the GPL here, but I'm sure I'll hear rants about GNU/Linux. But I digress. =)
Whereas SCO is stating that they own Linux due to several lines of their code being in the kernel (and previously released by SCO/Caldera/whomever, I'm sure), they are now placing a binary-only distro available for users. This is a flagrant violation of the GPL. But wait, they are saying that their code is in there. If (God forbid) they didn't release this, it's time for a rewrite.
Hey, Linus, it's time for you to get medeival on SCO's sorry collective ass.
One poster in here said the only real threat to Linux was if MS open-sourced Windows. I contend otherwise - would not various developers fascinated with the crap they put out go and not only debug it, but incorporate it into the free emulators and APIs (eg, WINE)?
CE is not a threat either. They have lowered the price, maybe, but let's put it this way - those working with embeddable linux aren't necessarily going to go with CE. Cost is still more costly than free at the front end. Long term is probably irrelevant - a lot of suits don't necessarily see past the short term cost. On top of that, why switch if a product is demonstrated to be superior?
"Usenet? Huh? That's text and no pretty pictures? That's not standard enough for us."
(This is derived from a former supervisor who declared telnet as non-standard. Yes, it's deprecated, but she said that RFC 854 didn't exist either, after I showed it to her.)
The DNA registry catalogs DNA samples from all US armed forces, ostensibly for identifying remains (although if that were the only reason, the samples would be automatically destroyed at the end of the servicemember's contract.)
That's because USMC doesn't stand for "United States Marine Corps", it stands for "U Signed the motherfscking contract". Once you sign in, it's like the roach motel - you don't sign out until you're dead. They pretty much own you for the rest of your life. By extension, all branches of the US military thusly own you.
Point there, but what if then they did that ultrasonic bath in the stuff? The problem with hydrous mixtures is that you will have to allow your components to dry out for *days*, and even then there's no guarantee oxidation won't happen.
There is mention of drunk mouse syndrome, wherein a declared alcoholic mouse (yes, see the link) was sent to be "dried out in a CFC ultrasonic bath". As I understand it, this is not dissimilar to the anhydrous dips that they used to dunk crufty keyboards into to clean them as well.
To wit, while this may not totally *disinfect* your gear, this will most certainly decruft it.
If the point is to awe kids these days, yes, I need paper. "Wow, you know how to do that without a calculator?!" And if I'm still not sure, I break out the calculator and then run the problem. (Then again, that's something my dad taught me....)
We're basically talking the same crowd who never learned to read an analog clock because they've always had digital clocks to tell them what time it is.

Let's also keep in mind that 17 is the least random number.

Now if I had only RTFA....

A lot of the tricks he lists as "rare" are tricks that my filters frequently pick up on.
First successful tongue transplant? I'm curious then, does food taste different because it was somebody else's tongue? Oh yeah, FP! =)
Perhaps the countersuit hasn't been filed because IBM knows that 1) they are false and 2) SCO'll beat themselves to a pulp by doing this anyway.
Hey! Imagine a beowulf cluster of those! I could get inventory for hundreds of gallons of milk in microseconds!
Well why have over "thirty six trillion" when you can have (pinky to lip) over "three hundred forty undecillion"?
I can see it now. Irwin falls over with catastrophic results during random points in the game.

Please, though, if I'm missing the point of bitkeeper, enlighten me.

Remind me not to get service from them.

It's right here.

Does this mean people running things like CICS have to pay Micro$oft on royalties? This deserves the foot, man.
What, the stuff between the comment tags?
