You are so right. In fact, that is precisely why our cabs today are all pedal-operated, and why all our stores are built to mimic the look and feel of a grove of nut-trees.
Yes, indeed, no one has ever had had to change a habit since our neanderthal days, and with the kind of foresight you are advocating, we never will.
Yes, each of those three drives you described is bigger than 32GB, so the GP post had a valid point. You, however, have added nothing to this thread.
If it makes you feel better: Congratulations, you are letting the Slashdot community know that you, Gorshkov, are one of the hundred million people in the world who are able to consume commodity electronics products in such quantities. Your momma must be so proud.
I'm sure you intended that as a joke, but it is true that most inherited money is in the hands of short people. Since firstborn children tend to inherit more and since the firstborn usually goes through childhood with inexperienced and less competent parents, they tend to be malnourished and have stunted growth. Children born later are fed better and given better overall health care, once the parents learn, for instance, to serve high-protein breakfasts like eggs instead of pop-tarts and kool-aid.
They already do. A mechanic needs to be certified with a certain number of hours of Goodwrench classes before doing warranted work on any GM vehicle, no matter what model or year. If you change the oil in your own GM car before the manufacturer's warranty is expired, the warranty is void and you run the risk of GMAC repossessing the car for the EULA violation.
It's not a matter of what fraction of the theoretical maximum amount of solar energy they collect, its a matter of how much the output energy costs, after you include purchase, maintenance, and space costs. Solar cells that converted sunlight to electricity at 1% efficiency would be viable if they cost a penny per acre to produce, and did not interfere with other land use in any way.
It's good to see a heavy hitter like Adobe finally opening up their business practices. I'm sure that this RFC on the secure PDF standard and their relaxing of their draconian licensing on Photoshop will really give Xpdf and Gimp a run for their money. We can only hope that the next step is open-sourcing Framemaker so that we can all have a Free (speech) desktop publishing tool like we have a Free Office suite in OpenOffice.
Kudos to Adobe!
Frankly, the physics of using rockets in space has never made sense to me - how do they go anywhere?
It's pretty simple, really. In the atmosphere, rockets work by pushing against the air, as you might expect. However, when the rocket leaves the atmosphere and enters a vacuum, or what we physicists call an "inertial frame," then your thrust is pushing against this inertial frame, which is kind of like what physicists used to call the "Aether." Aether has gotten a bad name, since Einstein proved that electromagnetic waves don't need to travel in the aether, but this has led to the misconception that aether doesn't even exist. Mach's principle shows that Aether is real, since it is what we need to push against to rotate and accelerate in space.
I think what you'll see happen in this case is that it will be granted cert in the 14th circuit, but they will kill it with a pocket veto before it grandfathers in a relatively new concept like the GPL.
indicated that cellphones are the next thalidomide
A little known fact, but true. Ever since Thalidomide was taken off the market, pregnant women have been looking for a non-drug way to reduce morning sickness, and it turns out that cell phones are just the thing. As PhysicsGenius pointed out, H=qrP/3pi (he forgot the \epsilon_0, must be Gaussage units) And since V=ir, the microvaves convert to infrared, or "heat" radiation if the resistance of the amniotic fluid is low enough. When junior is nice and warm, he stops making mom sick.
I can't believe anyone would fall for this. The second law of thermodynamics says that in any process, entropy always increases. That means that there is no way that material can ever be concentrated. It always has to spread out in more diluted form.

No, it's just that MOND alone can't explain this. Reality might still be accurately described by MOND + WIMPs or somesuch combination.

Yeah, and you know he must really smell if even the French are turning him away.

I call BS! The Romans never went to Mars.
...to AT&T's defense?
Capital punishment has a lot more rational basis than today's Prozac and Ritalin usage.
The second time he saw it, he said it reminds him of movies from his childhood.

Actually, you'd have to cut each disjoint piece of each A4 into five pieces, but I appreciate the sentiment. Just takin' care of business.

But at least we could have lunar-solar-powered electric vomit cleaners on the cheap!

It's the misspelling.

Wrong. I am skilled in all areas. Therefore, anyone not skilled in the areas I am is not skilled in any area. QED. BTW, "QED" is latin for "Duh."

Dude, if your dad taught you to jack off, you've got problems.
Your own illiteracy will add to your credibility as an insider.
