Put him into a room. Randomly switch on and off a WiFi-net and ask him to tell if it is on or off. If he manages to get more than 50 % right there might be something to it. He would also be the first person to manage this in years and years of testing.
"Nuclear is clean, safe and practically inexhaustible."
Is it now? Has any nation yet found a solution to store the waste? France ships it to Germany, which still has only a "temporary storage (leaking) yet for example.
Safe? It's unlikely that something happens, but far from save, because you can lose control over the reaction, unlike Fusion. I don't feel save with all the Soviet designed and underfunded stuff standing around here in Europe.
Inexhaustible. I always wonder how long the power would really last if we switch fully to nuclear plants - I read reports ranging from 15 years to 1000 years of Uran available. And most of it in less than democratic or stable countries. Do you have a better source regarding the amount of Uran? Would breeders really solve the resource problem if there is one?
You mean that Bose doesn't rely on facts, physics or science, but on mubo-jumbo to sell their speaker and many of their buyers belief this? I agree with this.
True, but usually the master for the Vinyl is the same as for the CD, only having less dynamic range because of physical limitations. Meaning that it actually sounds "worse" than the overproduced CD.
Of course the caller can shop for another service provider if he is footing the bill. In a system where the costs are charged to the caller not the service provider of the called person decides what the call costs, but the service provider of the caller (layed down in the contract of course). Thus the caller has full control over it. If he calls a mobile he knows how much more he has to pay compared to a landline.
He has it easier, because he doesn't have to care about incoming calls, only about what things he calls most/uses most and which of those calls costs him most, and make his decision based on this.
half way and mandate more efficient devices that consume less power and bring back the humble ON/OFF switch that actually did turn off the power.
Oh, yes. I bought several of those multi-outlet things with their own ON/OFF-switch for everything I don't need to run while I'm not actively using it. Saves money and temperature down.
we started last year replacing Windows 2000 with XP in our company. Vista is far away still. Why should any company adapt to a OS before it is tried and tested?
It's the same deal you already have on thottbot and Allakhazam (no gold selling ads). WoWHead was interesting because it wasn't owned by a Gold Farming company and well maintained - at least one of these advantages is now gone.
That's just bullshit. 7 years ago, Europe didn't even have GPRS deployed, let alone UMTS, HSDPA, or any other 3G technology. 5 years ago, there were precisely zero operational UMTS networks in Europe.
Most of the country has CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Rev A deployed. It's similar in performance to the HSDPA networks deployed today. HSDPA was deployed in Europe in 2005 and 2006.
So much for being "5 years behind".
UMTS:
The first UMTS network in Europe was launched by Manx Telecom on the Isle of Man (a large island in the Irish sea) in 2001. Manx Telecom is part of the O2 group, which is now a subsidiary of Telefonica. O2 used the island as a testbed for 3G technology.
The 3 service was launched in the UK and Italy in March 2003. To meet this early date, this was a soft-launch with limited coverage of the UK initially available.
In December 2003, Mobitel has launched UMTS in Slovenia. T-Mobile launched UMTS in Austria, and began trials in the UK and Germany. Also, in November 2005 the T-Mobile UMTS network in the Netherlands went live (however, this was not a commercial launch, but meant to meet regulatory requirements imposed upon the spectrum auction).
How expensive will the iPhone unlocked, without the carrier footing a part of the bill and giving it away cheaper for a new contract, be? I can't see people paying 700-800 (taking the price of a unbound Nokia E61 and Samsung SGH i600 here, both with 3G/UMTS) in big numbers, especially without UMTS.
The low life span was mostly because so many children died young (some women had 10-15 children and were lucky if five of them survived childhood), distorting the statistics. If you survived the first 10 years you usually had - getting killed in war aside - another 50 years before you. Even people with 70-80 years of age was not unknown.
Attacking the messenger is valid when no one can think of three successes in 25 years. I mean, it seems to be that betting AGAINST the UN would be a safer bet because the odds are heavily skewed against the UN! Past performance is an indicator of the future.
-In the former East Germany, the PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism) a successor to the former socialist party that ran the GDR until reunification is getting about 15-25% of the vote in local and state elections.
The PDS is the successor of the communist SED, not a socialist party.

GPRS:
GPRS subscribers in Western Europe could top 40 million by the end of 2003 if operators learn WAP lessons, says Analysys. (Market Intelligence)

Thanks for the advice. I knew it was possible to bring the list up with Shift+TAB. I've to try it some more, but looks workable.
My reason is simple: Opera does not allow me to switch tabs by using the scroll wheel on the tabbar.
Although in a time where still people fall for mails from Nigerian princes (several thousand people a year) this factor might be pretty important.

Is this one neutral enough for you?

Fox News and thinking in one sentence? This is sarcasm right? And I fell for it again? It must be so!
Of course not. That does not prevent anyone from stating his opinon on the Internet.
