In the best of all possible worlds, it would be a closed-loop system where the steam powers the turbines and then flows back around to be re-heated. As it is now, the cooling water wastes the energy it took to heat it in the first place.
My guess is that this new skin/face will become a new Facebook upgrade that will either install itself and take over your phone or nag you to upgrade until you bend over and acquiesce. I decided I didn't need Facebook on my Android so I uninstalled it. Happily I have the option to do so -- my previous device had it in crapware where my only choice was to uninstall upgrades.
Before I found Reader, I had RSS feeds grouped together in a bookmarks folder. I suppose I could go back to that system but I've gotten used to hitting the same list of unread items (and the option to keep any of them unread) from any of my several desktop browsers or from the mobile device. It really is a shame that something which is useful (but not used by "enough" ad-reading wetware devices) is considered obsolete so quickly. I guess Google wants to invest more of their money in privacy-invading street-view units.
Just So Stories are always amusing because when you start at the end and work backward you can get to almost any starting place you wish to.
And on an unrelated matter, those printed maze games are also easier to solve by starting at the end and working backward.
Knowing how Texas has kowtowed to polluters in the past, the intent of this has to be making evidence inadmissible rather than stopping it from being collected.
I've less quarrel with the concept of using a 3rd party to verify identity (that's what a driver's license does when we aren't on line) than with the notion of using the services of a "free" site that gets its revenue by tracking its users and selling that information to advertisers and the like. And do I want to stay logged in to something like Facebook when it is exposing my information (not all of which is bogus fiction) to anyone who has access to their API? And yes, Google is doing much of the same as are numerous others.
Yes, shit does happen, but with a hammer an accident usually results in little more than a bruised fingernail. Check out the Twitter feed for @GunDeaths to see just how many people are killed by firearms every day. And almost every one of those is a case where the gun is being used as the manufacturer intended, not an accident.
Java applets were a good idea in 1996 or so when the web was mostly text documents and static images. Now there isn't very much that an applet does that can't be done with equal facility and somewhat greater security by making a web application using any one of a number of technologies. (Admittedly deploying an application server has its own set of security issues but for the most part, they are limited to the server side of the street.) I can't think of anywhere I've encountered Java applets in the past few years -- the ones I recall have all been replaced with Javascript for server-side calcuations.
How does pyramid fit into this? The original premium ticket holders get to see the show they paid for either at the price they paid, or at a lower price.
Cows did not evolve to eat grass. Cows are adapted to eating a variety of feedstuffs -- the rumen bacteria can break down many things and convert them into rumen bugs which slide out of the rumen and down the line where they are digested. Cows in a state of nature run away from humans. Modern domesticated cows rely on humans to provide them with food. Cows in a state of nature produce a calf a year and are subject to predation and disease which help to keep the population from exploding. Modern livestock agriculture ensures that more calves will survive and that the cows will survive longer. Some are retained in the herd while others -- especially the males -- aren't needed so they are sold as veal calves (from dairy cows mostly) or as feeder calves (from beef breeds) and those calves are fed with an eye toward making money. The only farm I ever saw which varied from this one was the ISKON farm run by the Hare Krishna organization which raised cows for milk and cheese and would not allow any calves to be slaughtered for any purpose. A few of the males were neutered and the oxen used as draft animals. Most of the other males were also neutered -- to make them more docile -- and kept in a separate area where they were feed corn silage and otherwise ignored until they died. At one time they sold the carcases to be processed into meat meal which is used in the manufacture of dog food. Also fed to cows -- until BSE was discovered to be transmissible that way. As for bakery by products including broken cookies with and without chocolate chips, gummy bits, etc. -- they've been fed to cattle for years as have corn distillers grains (high protein, low energy because the starches were turned into alcohol), brewer's grains (similar) and other alternatives. Any feedlot operator (or dairy farm manager) knows about the need to adjust feedstuffs based on what's available -- the computerized ration balancing programs have been around since there were no PC's. The only thing new is that the market for these items is also rising because the demand is up and more farmers have access to ration balancing software.
I'm inclined to agree. IF they do, I can offer a counter-example where they didn't. My son had a series of ear infections during the 1st year of his life and was on antibiotics almost continually from 3 months to 9 months. He also had a serious problem with allergy-induced bronchial infections as well as the odd case of Scarlet Fever. At 23 he's what most people would call "skinny".
"God said I'll make some D N A
They can use it any way they want
From paramecium right up to man.
They'll have sex and mix up sections
Of their code they'll have mutations,
The whole thing works like clockwork over time.
I'll just sit back in the shade
While everyone gets laid
That's what they call Intelligent Design"

I'm sure Reid has inside knowledge -- after all he IS a high-ranking member of the LDS Church and has many friends who would know more about the Romney situation. Obviously he can't have access to the tax returns themselves (that would be a felony) so he can't produce any "evidence" but John McCain (who HAS seen the returns from when Romney was being considered for VP in 2008) has stayed mum on the subject which strongly implies that he knows a little more than we do.
About 15 years ago, I had a yahoo email address and managed to lose/forget the password. There was no recourse so I stopped using that account.
Hmmm, I wonder if it is one of the ones that got leaked and I can find it now.
I agree. Grammar is a bit like neckties insofar as it is possible to function without one but when you wish to gain admission into establishments where they are required, neckties become indispensable. There are places where precise grammar is needed to reduce ambiguity and establish clear meaning but the primary function of grammar is to establish linguistic register. http://grammar.about.com/od/rs/g/registerterm.htm

Really, cue Claude Rains and all that.

I agree. If tablets are PC's then so are smartphones. Including iPhones would increase Apple's count but would drag in a bunch of other vendors.

Truly. Why else target the device to iPhone users? Especially since it will need to support old/new connectors.
Yes. There is a Russian proverb from the Tsarist period that translates into something like: "You can get used to anything. Except dying."

Yeah, right. I'm behind you all the way Steve-0.
