Microsoft's trying seems so pathetic. It is hard to thibk any way the old dinosaur MS could anyway create anything better search engine than google and (soon ready) Wolfram Alpha. There is no space between.
Now put that anlyzer on the Google street view car running all over in cities! Usable or at least interesting information on all cities. Where NOT to live.
And we can start quessing which of the mentioned fine features will actually be in the release version of Win7. This has happened so many times before. Remember when during waiting of win95 many magazines were worried what will happen to McAfee and other virus-scanner companies when the new windows is fully virustolerant?
Shipping one container from China to US is cheap, costs about one thousand dollars. And that divided by ten thousand is nothing. The real reason is the weak dollar.
If antimatter "falls up" imagine this: In a reasonable empty space exist two particles, one of matter, the other from antimatter. They are of equal mass. They are causing gravity on each other. The antimatter runs away and the matter follows. And with INCREASING SPEED !? OOPS.. There must something wrong here... Maybe the matter does not pull antimatter and antimatter does not push matter ? Maybe they both pull each other after all.
This morgning here in Shanghai I noticed that the hotel TV did send western channels such as CNN but almost all Chinese channels were down. Abt three channels showed quake clearings. Somewhat leaned towards showing heroic soldiers in clean suit saving people. And the president himself directing the work. But at least this time the TV has shown a lot of quake damages. Death toll now 33000 verified. Will rise above 40000 since now 9500 verified to be beried under rubble. 220000 injured.
Compare it to what Japan had done to US car markets! Or what China is doing to electronics, tools and several other areas. The prices have dropped dramatically!
What a market heaven would US have without Asian import of too-low priced components...
OSS is just increasing competition and dropping prices.
The damage may be pretty big since also some major systems suffer. To me it looks like PRODIGY.NET is one of the poorly admined ISP's. I cannot send mail to prodigy.net and get Blocked because of spam.
Why on earth BBC makes a system to be used from UK only ?! "Can I download programmes from outside the UK?
The BBC uses Geo-IP technology to identify where your are based on the location of your internet service provider (ISP). This ensures that only internet users in the UK can enjoy programmes on BBC iPlayer.
If you download a programme to your laptop or a portable hard drive, you can watch this wherever you are in the world. However, you will only be able to download new programmes once you return to the UK.
Why do I need to be in the UK to use BBC iPlayer?
Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer is only available to users in the UK. However, BBC Worldwide is working on an international version, which we will make available as soon as possible."
Yes, evolution is changing the mankind, but to which direction ? The aim is or has never been to make man wiser but to increase the amount of people! After one thousand years man may be more resistant to diseases, smaller / eat and drink less and have a big appetite of sex and breeding! Natural life span may be shorter but is incrased with fine medicine for those that can afford it.
Well, the sun isn't in highest position now at 12.00 either. So where's the need for one second ? Also the "Daylight Saving Time" is complete waste of effort. Is is based on time when artificial light was expensive. Now the street lights are on anyways all night.
And then we come to the idea that different Time Zones are not necessary. Just try to calculate flight time when flying a longer trip Japan to Australia, when Japan is using Summer Time or Australia is using Winter Time (DST in winter!).
We should all use UTC. We'll soon learn that that day time is not between 6.00-18.00 but 11.00-23.00 (example somehere in US).
A guick translation (of the story and one comment presumably from a board member present the meeting):
"Lassi Nirhamo was the chair leader of the OOXML-meeting in Finland, where the Finland's opinion should be agreed. During the meeting Nirhamo surprized all and asked other board members to be excused of his duties and voice his opinion as a private citizen. After getting the permission he told as his personal opinion that he was against the acceptance of Microsoft's standard. He also listed the grounds for his opinion, which Microsoft members could not deny. In the end of the meeting he proposed as the meeting would abstain from giving a opinion."
The formal reason was that his four month trial period was ending.

It seems to me it will never climb steep up hill.
This system could also enable car tracking without expensive contracts with a tele company.

I guess it will be running Linux, of course.

But we can also buy the car WITHOUT air conditioning and get a fair discount. Actually in my country more than half of new cars are bought w/o AC.

Works fine when the receiver list is long, but NOT when the spam is sent to one receiver only or using BCC-address.
"Fossilized Soft Tissue" is far from "Preserved Soft Tissue" ! It's not soft but stone hard.

"test case for fair use given that the lexicon contains mostly factual information about the series, not copies of the books' text."
Actually that is no factual content, but result of Rowlings's imagination. She has invented that all.
Could it have something to do with a system called Echelon ?!

It looks like 30 mm to me and not 3 mm.
Let's next calculate how much of the paper is wasted in printing books and newspapers..
It's just the beginning. Wait until the rest of the Chinese do the same....
