I thought it was the copious amounts of marijuana that made Amsterdam a compelling destination. LOL!
You must be real fun at parties, explaining the punchline of every joke. If that gets "insightful" moderation, I just want everybody to know that water is wet. (Or is that informative?)
Like the US has never spread FUD to undermine a regime they disapprove of.
But at least the American citizens have the decency to remain calm when their own presidential elections are rigged. None of this yelling and fighting in the streets. It doesn't even stop them voting him in for real in the next election.
It certainly helps. Once you get a small crack, water gets in and freezes. The phase-change expansion is much greater than the heating expansion. So a -5 to +5C cycle is worse than +5 to 70C.
But what would you know about gravel roads in Western Australia?:-)
At least we have Schadenfreude. Is there some rule of the universe that every post with a spelling/grammar/typo correction will have an error of it's own? I put that apostrophe in, so the universe doesn't need to insert a more cerious error.
If this were a common occurrence for the earth, it is very likely we would not be here at all.
Maybe it is very unlikely. Us being here does not prove otherwise. Maybe the earth is destroyed every thousand years, on average. In a miniscule percentage of alternative universes, people notice the planet has been safe for millions of years.
In the other worlds, nobody thinks anything.
This didn't go well the last time. Newspaper headline:
NIGHTMARE ON DREAMSPACE: MUMS, DADS, KIDS PLUNGE TO EARTH
HORRIFIED witnesses told last night how they watched helplessly as parents and children plummeted to the ground after a huge bouncy castle was sent rocketing 120ft into the air.
I.E. You have a current Iphone your contract is expiring tomorrow and you still don't get the new one at a discount. You have to pay the full price.
Is that the full outright unlocked price, or just a not-so-subsidised and still locked price? How does this stuff work in the US? I thought the basic idea is you get a new free/cheap phone every two years by signing or extending a contract.
Other countries have competition laws to stop blatant abuse, e.g. requiring a contract and locking the handset. (no proper reason for both).
This is good to hear. Now we can start to address other gender issues. The 10:1 gender ratio in prisons is obviously driven by sociocultural factors rather than innate differences. We need affirmative action to address this imbalance. To get the ball rolling, I propose a 12 month minimum sentence for parking across 2 bays.
at either end of a Parallel link you'd have to re-serialize right?
Why? At the disk end, enough platters/heads will give you bits in parallel. Just buffer each to allow for skew, and you can read a byte on each clock tick.
And why would you need to re-serialise at the main bus end?
I hear a rumour that the American government is working with Exxon and BP to fabricate geological evidence that North Korea possesses, or is about to discover, oil.
What have they done with all the buses that went down there? I remember that was the best place to find the old Roadmaster buses with the rear plaform & pole - real fun to chase them and jump on.

Did I really say that? Damn no editing on /.!
It's called the antrhopic

I believe the clouds were to fly to go over,
Pretty fly for a white Stratocumulus?
What happened to your dad's foot?
You mis-understand. His Dad's pet fish died recently. It was all in the his blog.
I'm waiting for "Charm" and "Strange".

So what's the outright cost? ie unlocked, no contract?
Scientists have extrapolated the first joke, which translates like this:
A mandrill walks up to a watering hole. The barmonkey says "Why the long face?"

NOT that I am saying parallel is a good idea.
Destroy the planet!? You are being a tad melodramatic. Krakatoa was about 200 megatonnes, and the planet didn't quite split in two.
I hear a rumour that the American government is working with Exxon and BP to fabricate geological evidence that North Korea possesses, or is about to discover, oil.
This could get nasty.
mind you, that is no worse than calling stereoscopic pictures or movies "3D". But true 3D is holographic.
How is this a misuse of the word 'dimension'?
If having two polarisations is an extra dimension, then a dual-layer DVD must be 3-dimension storage.
Adisde from the mis-use of the word "dimension", this is not revolutionary.
Magnetic hard disks commonly get 500GB on a much smaller platter. Why is optical so much harder?
80 giga-pascals of pressure? Could be useful for deep-sea power transmission. You only need to go 8000km deep to get that pressure naturally.
What? They have pedestrianised Oxford St!? Cool.
What have they done with all the buses that went down there? I remember that was the best place to find the old Roadmaster buses with the rear plaform & pole - real fun to chase them and jump on.
I ask again, why don't you stop whining and just disable voicemail, so they get a busy tone? You make no sense to me.
Thats a bit rude!
Why don't you just turn it off so they don't get prompted to leave a message? Its ##21# to cancel all diverts.
Copper doesn't appear in nature as copper ingots -

Unless you have a directional antenna, any sort of wireless power transmission will waste a lot of power.
I see you subscribe to the particle model of electromagnetic radiation.
