That could make things interesting, as there are other things that never made the transition to Media Foundation, such as the DirectShow interface to webcams (and other video devices). Might have to look into that.
Just create yourself a user.css file and change the colors to whatever you want. I've done this for years to change slashdot have light on dark text. Nowadays, you can even download extensions for popular browsers where someone else has done all the hard work for you for many popular sites.
Obviously the example is contrived, because we already know that eggs produce chicks and rocks do not. The difference between a rock and an egg is pretty obvious. However, you usually use statistics to measure things you don't know so much about, and trying to discern differences that are not as obvious. How do you know you're not making such a mistake? Or for that matter, someone purposely lying with statistics, presenting data, and hoping you don't know the difference between the eggs and the rocks in his/her experiment?
I was on Thinkgeek's mailing list for a while. I signed up when I made an order, and I was like "oh cool I can get an email every once and a while telling me about all the latest cool stuff and the occasional sale". And that's what it was, at least at first. Then the emails started coming in every few days instead of every few weeks, then every couple of days, then everyday, and even more than once a day.
The emails were mostly about some promo code, many of which were a pretty significant discount. Free shipping, $30 off an order of $100 or more, 20% off your entire order, buy one item get another half price, etc. After a while it really started to smack of desperation, as if they weren't doing well and deep discounts was the only tool in their chest. Annoying too, as it turned purchases into a game of "Should I take the 20% off or wait a few days and see what comes up with next?". In any case, it was obvious that paying full price was for suckers.
Finally, it started to get ridiculous. I'd get a series of emails "Free Shipping!" "Free shipping limited time!" "Free shipping ends today!" "Free shipping only a few hours left!!!". Then that promo would expire, and a couple of days later "Free Shipping!" and the whole cycle would start again. I got tired of it, unsubscribed, and haven't been back. I mean, seriously you sell novelty geek toys and I might order from you a few times a year. You don't need to be sending me emails every single day.
Of course, that all depends on finding a motherboard that supports an i7 (not a Xeon which is a different socket) actually accepts more than 32GB of ram.
Yes, you can "snap" applications to the left or the right side of the screen starting with Windows 7. It's one of the first things I end up disabling though, because it ends up pissing me off when arranging windows far more than I find it useful.
Not to mention for some reason Intel won't release 64 bit Windows drivers for a lot of the graphics chipsets that come with the Atoms. So you have to run 32 bit Windows. Or Linux.
Actually, the Streisand Effect is where something becomes known to people specifically because of the efforts to suppress it. Or in other words, the efforts to suppress something bring attention to something that likely would have otherwise been overlooked and ignored.
Given that it's almost certainly peltier-based, and you can draw 2.5W off of USB, I wouldn't expect it to work very well. Perhaps if it's well insulated, you could keep a cold beverage cool, but I wouldn't expect it to be able to cool off something that's already warm.
There's always been conflict for the entirety of human history, but the endless proxy wars are a lot more modern of a concept. Granted, proxy wars aren't new either, but with nuclear weapons they tend to stay that way, instead of eventually dragging the main powers directly into them.
It depends on what operating system you're using. Windows will constantly swap stuff out to the page file, just in case something suddenly needs all that RAM. Linux generally won't touch the swap unless RAM is running low and it needs to.
I use it, and find it to be a very good browser.

That's all a ruse. Once she's received the nomination, they will all be circling the wagons around her to shield her from any scrutiny.
That's the problem. She's currently the Democratic front runner, and it seems that the Republicans (once again) seem intent on nominating some one who is completely unelectable. In a sane universe, Hilary should be unelectable too. The only option is to vote third party.
My guess is the vendor's propriety upgrade software requires Windows. There's a decent chance he brought up XP, because it also won't run on anything else. Though I'd be tempted to capture the packets and see if the software is actually doing anything fancy like authentication or if it just blasts packets out to anything that looks like a gas pump.
That's going to be the biggest problem. The gas station will accept having one pump at a time out of service. They won't be happy about the whole station being down even if it's for a shorter period of time. I'd probably look at a way of doing 2-4 pumps at a time. That'll still cut the time down, and having only 2-4 pumps down at a time may still be acceptable.
When goods arrive on a train, that also benefits you too. Yet the the rail industry isn't subsidized like the trucking industry is. Why should that be the case?
Actually, it's not the cement truck you have to worry about so much, as they would typically come through only rarely. The number one thing that damages residential and private roads, as well as alleys, are the garbage trucks. Big, heavy, visit on a regular basis, and do a lot of starting and stopping.
Actually, the smart thing to do would be to stop taxing large trucks by the axle. If large trucks had more axles, they'd be able to spread their weight out over a larger area and thus would do less damage to the roads. My understanding is that the trucking companies would like to have more axles, as it would reduce tire wear (yes, you would need more tires, but since they would last longer it would be a net savings). However, the current system encourages as much weight as possible on each tire.
Well, on the other hand, vehicles aren't the only thing that damages the road. The elements and mother nature will eventually break down the road even if it was never used. Plus cyclists also benefit from other maintenance such as snowplowing and street sweeping. As a cyclist I'm certainly willing to pay my fair share towards keeping the roads in good condition. Though I suppose I do that through other taxes (gas taxes are not enough to cover the road maintenance as it is now), as well as gas taxes when I do use my car.
The thing is, a heavy truck causes something like 100-1000x more wear on the roads than a car. It's true that they pay more gas tax, but they maybe use 4-8x the fuel of a car, so they don't pay anywhere near proportionally to the damage they do. The trucking industry is essentially subsidized by the rest of us.
How do you self-insure? Considering how much some treatments can cost, you'd have to be insanely rich to be able to afford not having insurance should something go catastrophically wrong. Well out of the range of many people. And even then, you wouldn't be able to negotiate the rates that insurance companies pay. Sure, if you are healthy and nothing happens you can just pay out of pocket, and even do it cheaper than many health insurance plans. But you're not insuring against the unlikely in that case, which is the whole point of insurance.

Depends on the model. Your i7 supports up to 64GB. The first ones IIRC were 24GB.

For people running Windows 7 Pro and pricier, dio you lose XP Mode if you have it installed?
So was Windows 7.

The version of Iceweasel on stable (Wheezy) also has the Australis UI. Luckily installing Palemoon is pretty painless.
