PDFs may not make documents more professional, but they DO represent the original formatting and page breaks and other such things, which HTML etc. does not. For some documents (e.g. court briefs), this is very important for future citations, etc.
Regardless, I'd still say he's a US host because he hosted the US-filmed version of the program. I wouldn't be concerned with his actual nationality so much.
While they do a little fudging, I also suspect they take meal breaks, so there's another hour there. The sun can very easily set in 2 hours.

I once spent a couple hours trying to debug somethign like this... proof that you should set the warning level to the max (then read the warnings). VC++ warns you about this, but only if reporting level 4 warnings. The default is level 3. (Personally, I'd put assignemnets in an if statement at perhaps a level 2 warning, maybe at level 1, because it's almost never done, so 99.9% if it happens it's a typo.)
That's not what I'm saying; it wouldn't be up to MS. If you agree to the NDA and get the info and store it on your computer and someone hacks YOU, why couldn't you decide not to press charges?
The two metals are Aluminum and Iron Oxide. See the post "Thermite and Gas Ballons" for more details of how to set this one up. (That description has a slightly different method of triggering the reaction.)
My high school chem teacher did the thermite reaction. There's now a small bead of iron imbedded in the table which missed the beaker of water and sand (works well; water has a high specific heat, and the sand will keep the falling iron from breaking the glass) underneath.
This has added value if you mention that (at least according to the physics teacher I had...) Kennywood Park uses this method to break the fall of the Pit Fall (take you up 300 ft (if my memory stands; it very well may not) and drop you).
>>Just have a vat of liquid nitogen, put in something (a rose for example), remove it and shatter it by throwing it on the floor (or use a hammer). Fun experiment, and looks impressive with the fumes of the liquid nitrogen;-)
Racquet balls work very well. Start the demonstration with them: start playing with a normal one. Someone takes it, dunks it in LN2, and starts playing again...
>>I wouldn't try the hand-in-boiling-lead anytime soon. Back when I was a kid, I made figures out of lead and I got some nice burns because of that. Lead splatting on your hands is not fun, and the Leidenfrost experiment didn't really help.
It's one of those "very impressive if you can do it but very dangerous if you can't" experiments.
That may depend on the projection method. If it's front projected from the viewpoint of the victims, you may be able to get it set so that the reflected light masks any view they would have of you, but you would still be able to see out. Or, perhaps not; you'd have to try it.
I have a suspicion that they learned from 9/11 and did exactly what you said. CNN's site was stripped to bare minimums by the time I found out about it (an hour after the first hit, when the school principal announced it over the PA), and, while it was very slow, did load most of the time. An hour or two later, it was at a perfectly acceptable speed.
I haven't used Opera (I'm on Mozilla), but reading the description of this "feature" - that is, resizing bitmaps - perhaps because resized bitmaps look like shit? Especially if not done by a factor of 2?

Though they should also offer an HTML verion.
Oh, whoops... I didn't read your first post carefully enough.

Not to mention, if you read the article, they scratch all the CDs so they can't be sent out.

Couldn't you just decide to not press charges?
Not to mention Bill Gates didn't try to kill a certain figure's daddy.

This incidentally is (one reason) why you don't pour many chemicals (e.g. sulfuric acid) down sinks...

>>3: Pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand (the back, not your cupped hand)
This would dovetail nicely with the molten lead demonstration.
And if he misaims, the theater suddenly has a couple billion dollar lawsuit on its hands.
Citations traditionally follow the material. Perhaps you should look back at your notes from middle-school English class.
Maybe you could try READING IT... the link is there at the end.
Sergeant Beavis posts a bit up in the tree (j a post that, if correct, should be modded up more) that the FCC Chairman casts tie-breaking votes.
The fact that the parent is moderated "Insightful" proves my point I think...

>>Is there any "common sense" reason to not like Opera's resizing feature?
No, there's experience resizing images in photo editing programs (MS Photo Editor, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, the Gimp).
>>You don't have to use the feature if you don't want to.
That's why I included the statement that I haven't used Opera, and merely said that my assessment was based on the description.
Unless it's on slashdot, and then there's bound to be 17 moderators who mod it down for the hell of it before people start realizing it on their own.
