Unfortunately, the IGI (International Genealogical Index) that is hosted at Familysearch.org is one of the absolutely least accurate resources available, full of errors and information about living people. The IGI is treated very sceptically by genealogists, even though it occasionally contains the odd nugget of valuable info.
Since its fat gravy train is going to end soon... How? With the massive FREE release of the entire scanned archive from the Mormon Vault in Salt Lake City (to be available on www.familysearch.org). Once this project has gone live much of the information that Ancestry.com currently charges for will be essentially public domain.
There already is a schism forming between Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org, seen from the collapse of arrangements between the Mormon church and Ancestry to provide the Ancestry.com service free in the LDS Family History centers around the world.
why are [sic] you doing cad on a computer if no time is saved?
Yeah, I feel the same way about typing documents into a word processor. I mean, it takes the same amount of time to type them on my IBM Selectric typewriter, so what do I gain?
Seriously, if you are working in a modern engineering environment, you are on a team and have to share and collaborate on your design work. Paper is great for brainstorming and quick sketches, but production work gets done in CAD. How many times is a complicated design going to get done perfectly on the first draft?
As far as I am concerned, the drafting board is dead in the Engineering Department. It may live on in the art department (and in basements of a million old engineers though...)
Only if every time Apple upgraded iTunes all your previously encoded or bought tunes needed to be updated.
No, the appropriate model is the Microsoft "plays for sure" except for Zune, sorry but you need all new music...
So, your OS supports long filenames, huh? Then why doesn't the vendor use them for all the cryptically named shared libraries, scripts, etc. that clutter up any modern os system directory?
They way I look at it, the day I look at something like "d3d8.dll" or whatever drek is fermenting in \WINDOWS32\ and it is actually named with a descriptive filename, then that OS will truly support long filenames.
Not sure where the Linux crown compares, but OS X is getting better with each revision. Classic Mac OS had this one down (mostly) cold.
I agree completely. When I heard that the HP48 line was discontinued (about 10 years ago!) I went out and bought myself a spare 48GX for the day when my 48SX kicks the bucket. The 48SX was bought around '90 and is still chugging away just fine. I keep it at home and keep the 48GX at work.
Lord forbid the day when I have to go shopping for something else to replace them--although I'd seriously consider running an emulation on some handheld gadget instead of a non-RPG calculator...
I'm sure that IBM would prefer to have 4 customers. But you really can't blame Apple, opening the door to X86 compatability is really as much a long-term strategic move as it is a short term supplier/part availability issue.
What nobody else here has considered is that since there seems to be a large amount of teeth and bones present for the giant ape, it is possible that DNA could be extracted and compared to contemporary species. That would prove pretty easily whether you are dealing with a chimp with a pituitary disorder or a completely new species.
Furthermore, since from the article there appears to be a way of determining female teeth from male teeth, perhaps the mitochondrial DNA would be useful in determining when the line split off from other common ancestors.
Dogma notwithstanding... All of this is speculation on my part, as I am not a geneticist or molecular biologist!
My company cools electronics enclosures in hazardous locations (oil refineries, etc.) with vortex cooling. These coolers are commercially available and work great, but they consume a lot of compressed air. They don't have any moving parts either.
I used to conduct field trials in Sardinia, Texas and Louisiana a few years back and we always used to keep bottled water frosty cold using the cooler in our controls cabinet. Great when you've been standing around on the tarmac all day with an external temperature in the high 90's.

30 days with OS X? It reads more like 30 minutes.
"We twice aimed large antennas in the direction of Gliese 581, hoping to pick up a signal that would bespeak technology"
The first interspace wardriving attempt thus ended in failure. The Gliesians must be hardwired.
I learned about it from the A-Team.
Naw, I'm using my Blade Runner television instead.

Is there a function to recover deleted files by this service? That's a big deal too.
Yeah, or you could just get older--it's working for me :(

Shoot, even Dell's online store ran on WebObjects once-upon-a-time. Then the Dell/Jobs rivalry flared up and Dell went with "someone else."
Only if you are Pixar...
Thanks for the spoilers

That, or an ice-cold concoction known as "Snakebite", which was 1/3 Kesslers and 2/3 peppermint schnapps.
Of course the old standby was, Yukon Jack -- where lonely men keep their fires lit and their cabins warm!
