Your brain produces endorphins in response to eating spicy food. This is why spice seems to stop hurting after a bit. This is also why pepperheads, like myself, eat peppers: the endorphin rush is enjoyable independently from the taste of the pepper (which can also be good, of course.) I eat red savina Habaneros plain. I want to try a Bhut Jolokia, but no one in my area sells them.
Actually, in the US, it's to add massive amounts of High-Fructose Corn Syrup.
For some reason they seem to think this tastes like sugar, it just makes the cokes taste like a diabetic's piss.
Conservative estimate of the number of deaths from hiroshima+nagasaki (wikipedia data, take cum grano salis): 275000
Estimate of the number of coal mine deaths per year (>6000) times 62 years = 372000.
And there are probably a lot more deaths due to coal plants and such, and due to lung disease, since the above figure is just for mining accidents.
Nuclear power has only caused 31 confirmed deaths.
So even adding nuclear war in it's STILL less deadly than coal.
Which is not a problem at all.
The the laws of thermodynamics only really work for isolated systems, such a branching set of universes wouldn't be an isolated system and could make energy out of "nothing".
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

You are being watched.
Put up enough info that many things are prohibited and make the punishments public, and then make everyone think they are being watched. People will police themselves out of fear. It's effective and much cheaper than a true blocking system. And if you have at least some system to catch people, it becomes more effective. So the net effect is probably about the same.
Then use video. Sure, it takes a bit more hardware. It can still probably be done for under $100,000 in equipment. Labor costs can be saved via "interns" and "undergraduates."
Yes. OR the simlper method: capture the output of the screen-keyboard program instead of the input. The data has to be understood by the computer at some point, and at that point you can capture it.
Pulsed-power. coin shrinkers are an easy solution. Just use the coil around the HDD instead of a coin.
I generally just use a grinding wheel. It's hard to read platters once they are dust.
Foobar's default action for any file is to add it to the current playlist. So when you double-click on a.fpl file, it adds it onto your current (last used) playlist.
I like using the Playlist Dropdown plugin, it makes playlist selection much easier. I also recommend the FoFR interface, though it is far less minimal than the default.
Well, these are radio scopes, so the atmosphere isn't a problem. And the new "Lucky" imaging technique (Reported just a few days ago) solves a lot of the distortion problem.
Now, 2 scopes at a large diameter have the same resolving power as a single scope with a diameter equal to the distance between the 2. So it really is like having a telescope the size of the earth. The only thing they don't have is light-gathering capacity, and the arrays used are large enough that that isn't really a problem.
The animal names go by letter. Edgy Eft was Ubuntu E. Feisty Fawn was F, Hardy Heron is H, and so on. There aren't a lot of animals that start with E in english.
They provide 2 services:
One blocks and corrects spelling.
The other doesn't block, but provides a custom search engine, with some adds, when you go to a nonexistent page. The first also does this.
It's a rather nice system, just as fast (if not faster) than my ISP's DNS, and I know their IPs so I always have a set of DNS servers I can use to test things (Most commonly, can I connect to the internet or is DNS just broken.)
The conservation of mass/energy only applies to a closed system. The Universe may be a closed system, but it may have been created inside some other system, thus being initially non-closed. An infinite universe would not need to obey the conservation of energy.
Placing punctuation marks outside of quotation marks is most commonly seen in the writings of programmers. Many programmers need the data inside the quotation marks to be exact, and since periods are commonly used in programming languages they must be placed outside of the quotation marks to allow for an unambiguous reading of the code. This practice then gets mistakenly carried over into natural language writing.
Firefox has adblock and subscription lists.
Firefox has FoxyProxy, which allows proxy switching by URL pattern. Using TOR has never been easier.
Firefox has leetkey, which makes decoding all those ROT13 and 1337speak posts easy.
Firefox has SimpleDelicious, which integrates Del.Icio.Us bookmarks nicely.
Firefox has InfoRSS, an rss reader far superior to anything in Opera.
Firefox has NoScript.
Firefox has better tools for web developers (ViewSource Chart, ColourZilla, etc, etc.)
Opera uses less memory.
Opera has a messier UI (You have to keep the toolbar, you can't put everything on the same line as the File/Edit... toolbar. In Firefox I have 1 bar for all tools and the tab bar.
Firefox has extensions. Opera has widgets. Extensions are far, far more useful. When Opera can use extension-like functionality, maybe I'll use it for something more than keeping a few static pages open for days at a time (lower memory usage.)
Alienware used to be the place to get a good computer with a cool case and not have to mod the case or upgrade the computer. It was a way for geeks to save time and still have a nice system, at the sacrifice of money.
Now there are tons of cool case makers, most cases have tool-free installs, and it's not at all time consuming to build a computer. What used to take me 2-3 hrs (putting in all the screws, flipping the DIP switches for the IRQs, etc, now takes 30 minutes. Motherboard goes on the MB tray, which snaps in. Video card snaps in and the tool-free bracket holds it in place. HDDs are held in by brackets. Etc. Only my PSU actually has screws in the case. Faster, easier, and my case looks cool. AND, there are a lot more modding sites and case modding materials/plans available now. You don't have to do everything yourself, you can do a custom case mod much more quickly. Alienware's niche has been replaced by the case manufacturers.

Bell Peppers are actually the only chilli peppers that do NOT contain capsaicin.

Process explorer lets you view I/O operations. And DiskMon helps monitor disk activity. Both from Sysinternals, free.

SCO is an acronym, not a proper noun. The Santa Cruz Organization. The is appropriate.
Or, you know, solar. I mean, they are designed to be out in the sun all day, they probably had solar cells in the outer skin.
Quick, patent it!

Use a limit. If (hours of downtime = 0) Limit of 1/(hours of downtime) as (hours of downtime) goes to 0. Else 1/(hours of downtime)
