It's like if you walked into a party and started looking to see if anyone you know is there, and the host walks up to you and says "I think you know her in the corner over there." You can just look and see that, yes, you know her. However, looking through all the people to find out if you know anyone would have taken a long time.
Did you just use an analogy that involves knowing a girl? How is this going to help/.ers to understand you?
I've seen a number of varying responses to this question and, quite frankly, none of them work. Here's a short list:
As Cliff recommended, put your email address in an image, because we all hate those annoying blind people who keep trying to email us.
Use javascript to write the link -- Not everyone has a js-enabled browser, and of those whose browsers do support js, many have it switched off.
Use an email form on the site -- This seems less problematic, but you would need to ensure that you do let people see your address in further communication, so they don't have to keep returning to your site.
The OP wants to retain link-clickability. The only method above that would do this is the js method. But where it fails, it fails horribly.
Do you remember when you could do a search for a file and it would return hidden ftp sites? Now I do a search for something and all I get are the top sponsored sites. I can't find anything useful using google anymore.
That's because five years ago most of the 'top sponsored sites' didn't exist. Now they are high-profile sites that appear more relevant than some crappy ftp index on some university student's 'c00l home page'. Maybe you just need to adjust your search terms?
Also I hope you're not implying that the top results on Google are paid for. I think we all know better than to sugest that. If you can't navigate your way past the inobtrusive text ads, then you don't deserve to find anything on the web.
Jet Li's "The One" would make a great game. Seriously, it writes itself. You jump around between alternative realities getting stronger as you kill your counterpart in each universe. It ends with a big fight between you and your last remaining (now fantastically powerful) other-self. Plus character design would be a sinch;-).
Why is it that Mickey Mouse is always the example given? Is MM not a trademark of Disney's? Trademarks, SFAIK, do not expire (Bass has had the same red triangle TM for more than two hundred years). I realise that the copyright of the oldest MM cartoons would expire, but his likeness would still be Disney's. Is this not the case? If not, can anyone explain the situation with regard to these copyrighted cartoons featuring trademarked characters?
For the record, you can clearly see the T1000's penis on arrival in the 20th century, at the beginning of T-2. If you've got the DVD, check it out.
Also the T-800's penis is visible at the beginning of The Terminator. It verifies Arnohld's story about why he started in body-building. He was, according to him, standing naked in the bathroom when he was fifteen and looked in the mirror. He looked down and realised that he wasn't in proportion, so he started body-building to bring the rest of him up to scale!
You're a genius. Possibly. You've certainly got a very good idea there. I'd love to see this implemented natively (or at all) in Mozilla. The current gesture system in Moz (from Mozdev) doesn't cut it; it needs to be integrated properly.
I've always considered Lego to be a mass noun, rather than a counting noun. Like water; you don't have one water/two waters, you have some water. Likewise you have some Lego. This is different to, say, sheep, where you have one sheep/two sheep, but it's still a counting noun. I don't know about the Danish word Lego though, but it shouldn't affect how the word is used in English.

It is a point not often made that given heredity and mutation, logic leads undeniably to evolution. These two bases do not simply make evolution possible, they make it unavoidable (at least in the presence of selection pressures). Evidence, though abundant, isn't even strictly necessary. If there was none, we should ask why not.
Of all the hundreds of elements that exist in the universe, only the Carbon atom is capable of connecting to (up to four) other Carbon atoms and thus creating arbitraily large molecules.
Isn't silicon chemically almost identical to carbon? Silicon is also the fourth/fifth most abundant element around (hence the rocky planets), so why don't we see any silicon based organic compounds?
As for non-carbon-based lifeforms, people have been pondering that for decades. Carbon is interesting because it can bond with itself pretty much ad infinitum, forming complicated structures. It also combines readily with oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, the halogens, and a host of other elements.
Not forgetting that Carbon is one of the most common elements in the universe, being a product of the He-He fusion which takes place in all sufficiently old stars (old enough for them to have created enough Helium)
Water is also composed of very common elements (in universal terms), hydrogen being by far the most abundant material in existence, oxygen third (after helium).
While most Americans seem to think that their laws apply everywhere in the world, this is not the case. Ditto for Mexico. If this law was passed, and some IP was created in Mexico, that wouldn't mean it would remain outside the public domain in every other country for ever. Your local laws still apply, no matter where you are.
I know you're joking but seriously, Warcraft 3 doesn't show war in a very good light at all. It's made clear throughout that either the leaders are crazy/evil (undead and human campaigns) or that war is something that's forced on unwilling victims (the orc campaign, the humans in the beginning). I haven't played Generals, but Red Alert 2 showed war in a much more positive light. There's also the point that C&C will always be closer to reality than Warcraft, being a fictional game in a real world, rather than a fictional game in a fictional world (with fictional species thrown in for good measure!)
I believe that in this sort of case you would be entitled to your money back, but it wouldn't make sense for Microsft (or anyone else) to have to reimburse more than they were payed for the product. If you want the added security of garunteeing against failure you have to pay extra for insurance.
That day I saw mosaic is on my list of days I could never forget, like the challenger explossion, the berlin wall coming down, the wall trade center attacks, and recently the columbia tragedy...
Looks like you've already started to forget;-)

sysadmins who name their servers after planets. Fine for your first 2 or 3 servers, but...
I would imagine that most sysadmins wouldn't run into trouble until they came to naming their tenth server.
Ah, someone with sense. There's little more irritating than people who simply assume something isn't possible. Any studies I've read are very optimistic about this technology. It seems more probable than Apollo would have seemed back in the fifties, before even the invention of the jet engine. Only yesterday I shook hands on a long-term bet. I've got 100 riding on ths thing being in operation by December 31 2020, and I'm very confident. Politics and economy, and by extention technology, are cyclical. By 2020 we'll have the right kind of world environment for this thing to be really successful.
"Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun."
is this a black hole waiting to happen?
Some stars throw off enough matter not to collapse into a black hole. It has to be 10-15 times the sun after the explosion. Still, with this one at a whopping 20-40, it's quite likely that it'll be black hole.
So when you forgot everything you might once have known about thermodynamics, did you get hot (because of loss of intormation)? Energy is conserved, entropy increases all of the time (pretty much...). It is not true that an increase in entropy will result in excess heat (energy). Nor is it true that simply ignoring available information increases entropy.
And if your calculation of 1/3 = 50% is anything to go by, your 50F increase is probably way off anyway (even if the theory was sound)
Entropy is often explained by comparison to disorder or loss of information, but it is neither of these, it is a function of state of any thermodynamic system. And it cannot create heat out of nothing.
