Molly was a much stronger witch than you thought. Plus she was protected by Harry's death charm so nothing Belatrix did was able to hurt her.
Snape loved Lilly, so his patronus was the same as hers.
The sword was not IN the hat, Neville pulled the sword from where ever it actually was through the hat, the same as Harry did.
The deathly hallows are like Grim's fairy tales - so no one takes them seriously. In fact only a bunch of nutters even calls them that, most people think of them as part of a fairy tale their parents told them. If I said that Billy Goats Gruff is a secret tale that tells the truth about bridge building known only to 66 degree Masons, you'd laugh.
The Taboo - I would explain it as a regular word, not spell words - and likely to be way too many false alarms depending on the word you use.
Harry did not feel any pain with the Crucio curse - it said so in the text. Was it the wand, the remaining effects of the removal of Voldy's soul, or some other protection? Good question.
Epiloge was specific to the growth of Harry as a person. Not about wrapping up the story but instead closing out the circle, from kid to parent.
What makes these comments funny is that neither Google, nor Microsoft own Enterprise Search. The "big" players in Enterprise Search are Autonomy and FAST. Google has a small part of the market and Microsoft has a minuscule part of it. Enterprise Search is about a lot more than HTML search. Taxonomy, Faceted Search, multiple data sources, multiple file types, and other heterogenous environmental issues are at the core of enterprise search. The real "threats" in this market place are the database vendors. Microsoft has a dog in that hunt, as does IBM and Oracle. If they ever get data warehousing working well, then there is no need for a enterprise search engine.
Russian death toll for space exploration is much larger than the US's. The Nedelin disaster accounted for over 100 lives alone and is the largest single loss of life due to the exploration of space.
Actually, that is exactly what happened to me. I was looking at rebuilding my gaming rig and then thought, "hey, maybe a $150 XBox will work better!" Just about the same time, the XBox 360 came to my attention. I decided to wait until November, since it was only the price of a new graphics card, would run all games the same, never need upgrading and integrate with my new media center PC (read old gaming rig). Then the sell out happened. It took me 3 months to buy the thing. Once I did, I had to get a bundle. That wiped out my gaming budget until June.
Assuming the Tivo patents are upheld, what is the next logical step? A movie studio, or a tv company, or a consortium of the same purchase Tivo and use the patents to shut down all of the DVR's. Tivo's are no longer made as they do not make money, cable DVR's are stopped due to patent infringement, etc.
That is the SCARY scenario.
DVR"s - we hardly knew you!
You clearly have never used a Tivo. It does a lot more than just record at a set time. It was, at the time, a complete revolution. It took them a long time to get the average user to understand just what it would do for their TV watching habits. I honestly do not think people get it yet. My father has a DVR from his cable company and it doesn't even come close to working as well as the Tivo.
I may be missing something, but why would anyone want to hook up a HD DVD player to a non HD TV? There would be no difference in the picture compared to a regular non HD DVD. I can see the concern for people who purchased a HD TV prior to the HDMI interface being standard, IE all of us early adoptors, but the idea of connecting a HD DVD player with coax or s-video or a RF modulator is really dumb.
Actually, it is still done at Lincoln Electric. They have never unionized. They still pay per peice, as do a number of other places and industries. I would love to work anywhere that paid me 66% of the rate they charge for my work. My bill rate is $250 an hour, I can assure you that my income is far less than $250 an hour, even if you throw in benefits. I agree with an early post, this aligns the worker, the manager and the clients interests.
Once upon a time, in a previous life, I worked as a head hunter. At that time we would get people who had a degree from a correspondence course college, this was before on-line classes. We could NEVER place them. They knew their stuff, but the wrong university on the paper was killing them in the marketplace.
Fremont Ohio is one of the many small towns in America. It is the home of Ruthford B Hayes and Roger Young. My personal favorite place to visit there is Rupps Comics and Cards, one of the nicest comic book stores. Not huge, but it draws signings from the biggests artists due to the personality of the owner, Chris Rupp.

I've been contemplating buying the SN41G2 myself, any comments on the experience?

War of Honor
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Ok, most people who enjoy Miles enjoy Honor. You see a lot of cross posting in the two forums on the Baen site. The plots of the Honor series are more focused on space battles, versus Miles's "Save the Damsel" idiom. I'll agree with most of the people here that the "batter is getting a bit thin" in this most recent book. But for $25 you get the entire series, plus books from other people, all on a CD - Rom. I'm taking a trip to England this year and am planning on putting the books into my Palm for the flight.
Honor Harrington is the hero of the series. The books revolve around her. She always wins over incredible odds. The series started as a Horitio Hornblower in space. The way the ships work was designed to create the same feel as tall ships and iron men. The space ships fight in giant broadside battles.
The series is fun, but as we move into the later stages of her career we are dealing more with the politics of the world and larger forces are coming into play. This means that the books are moving away from the space battles and into the political battles, much as Miles moved from being an Admrial into being a Auditor. The Miles stories are all at a very personal level. We are very into his point of view and the problems he confronts are all his issues to solve. The later books of the Honor series bounce from view point to view point and the problems she faces are all larger than the battle in front of her. I like Lois MacMaster Bujold's approach to the characters better. I have more fun with it. David Weber's characters are more "stock" in this series and the action is more the point of the story. Both are action packed, but in different ways. It would be fun to see a Lois short story in the Honorverse, and vice versa.

Wouldn't they do better to use Mahalo? Gives the same human guided search result for a particular keyword, but in a better, non ad filled way . . .
None of these are that big a deal.

Simple answer - AppleTV and Xbox 360. If they open them to other content sources.

actually, recent editions of Webster's have made the terms interchangable.

Is AMD based on x86? I know it is compatable, but I thought it had a RISC architecture at its base, with the x86 as a compatablity layer?

Been there, done that. One word - Neo Geo. A coin op that had multiple games.
