Here we go again - confusing correlation with a causal relationship. Maybe soaking in a hot tub five times a week helps people relax and that's why they live longer. I'm sure the oily fish they eat helps a lot too.
Presumably, the manufacturers have already considered this, but I wonder how these ICs might be effected by the x-ray machines at the airport. If they use induction to get power, couldn't they get fried by a strong energy source?
Has anyone put one of these into a microwave oven? It might be an interesting experiment.
I have a large collection of reference books, but of course they aren't the best source for up to date information. When I was younger, I used to prefer a nice non-fiction book over a new pair of shoes, but I find that I'm buying more fiction books now. Any reference material is bound to be more current online, compared to a book written two years ago.
Maybe you work too hard. Have you ever stopped to consider why you are trying to be more productive? Are you competing for a promotion? Are you just trying to make more money? Maybe you're in a hurry to have your first stroke or heart attack.
Maybe you should just slow down. See the real world (you know, with trees and stuff). Get a grip. Do you belong to your employer, or are you an individual?
Has anyone considered whether methanol or hydrogen powered laptops would be allowed in the cabin of a commercial aircraft?
Unless I'm mistaken, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Association) specifically forbids the transport of methanol in the cabin. I don't know if they have an issue with hydrogen or other hydrocarbons.
There isn't any reason to worry, but there are regulations to deal with...
Some would consider CSS to be fancy. Many would consider CSS2 to be fancy. I don't mean to disregard the importance of the DOM for very specific layout or complicated scripting. Still, I think it would be nice to have a consistent interpretation of the existing standards. I remember when I was doing tech support for Netscape Navigator v1.2, about the time that Microsoft was coming out with their first browser, and their own proprietary HTML extensions. Now the Mozilla developers have been doing the same thing. What I'm saying is that it would be nice to develop compliance with long-established standards while also supporting innovation. When the majority are able to take advantage of existing methods, they will be better placed to contribute to the innovative projects which push the next version of the standard(s).
But the DOMs are different for IE and Mozilla/NS. Each time a new version of browser is released, there is a divergence from the previous DOM. Doubtless, this is true for the other browsers, as well. I've noticed that this complicates scripting for XML.
Innovation is to be commended, for sure, but what about some consistency?
As an occasional website designer, I would like to avoid having to delve into the DOM to maintain a consistent appearance and functionality across platforms/browsers.
There was a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald about government plans to require ISPs to actively filter pornography.
It's not mentioned in this article, but I read another one recently where the government were talking about using a central proxy server(s) to filter all content coming into the country - sort of like what they do in China.
I'm glad I have the government protecting me from the evil Internet. If I see any more nude people, I might become a serial killer, or something. Worse yet, I might vote Liberal! Acckkk!
Naahh. Skippy is too quick to catch with your trousers around your ankles. Anyway, wombats are much cuter and more cuddly.
btw, with so many countries getting hysterical about protecting us from the evil that is porn, maybe they should take the next step and require all Internet users to get sterilised. That way, they can remove the demand, rather than the supply.
I slapped on that sig at 4am without questioning the source, or duh thinking about it. In fact, as I write this, it's past 2:30am. Maybe I should set a cutoff time;->
In transport terms though we really only want them to fly in straight lines from A to B so agility is not an overwhelming consideration in their construction.
Isn't that like saying that we shouldn't spend so much money trying to figure out the age of the universe, or how dung beetles reproduce, because there are no immediate, practical applications?
Pacifism can be more evil than killing people in some circumstances.
Pacifism combined with diplomatic disengagement can be more "evil." I believe that wars can be avoided through ongoing, long-term diplomatic engagement. Putting a laser cannon in a 747 isn't going to resolve the problem on the Korean peninsula. The North Koreans just want the world to pay attention to them and take them seriously.
Of course, a common reaction from the war mongers is to ask the question How would pacifism have stopped the Nazis?. The answer is simple: it wouldn't. But if the European nations got more involved before the invasion of Poland and Czechoslovakia, or even at the end of WWI, then things could have taken a very different course altogether. Proactive pacifism is the solution.

It's not just NH. This service is utterly useless to the 90% of the world's population who don't live in USA or Canada.
Hasn't anyone noticed that the Washington Times was founded by Rev. Sun Myung Moon? I can't imagine anyone taking this publication seriously.

Perhaps the Dewey Decimal classification isn't the best example. After all, it's not in the public domain.

Don't you mean that Hemos got the author's sex wrong? Sex is one's physical state, whereas gender is one's identity or perceived state.
Sorry to preach, but I see so many people avoiding the word sex for some reason.

You are absolutely right. I stand corrected.
another loser hanging head in shame.
I slapped on that sig at 4am without questioning the source, or duh thinking about it. In fact, as I write this, it's past 2:30am. Maybe I should set a cutoff time ;->
But if you consider the source...
Anyway, you're right - it should be median, not mean. Thanks for pointing out my blunder. Another embarrassing lesson.

Who is going to protect us from the U.S.? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
