<irony> I can't wait for the Pope's arguments to be distorted and mocked here. Because we all know that Holy Experimental Science is alpha and omega of all our questions and that, like every rational process, it is perfect and gives all answers. Sure, programming software is rational and therefore so perfectly suited to our needs that debugging is blasphemy... </irony>
The omnipresent cell phone with a clock that sets itself via network access to extreme accuracy has pretty much killed the need for most people to have a watch.
I don't have a watch because I need accurate time. I have a mechanical watch because:
it is a beautiful piece of Swiss engineering and craftsmanship,
it is a symbol of civilisation and ingenuity,
if I survive the next nuclear winter/global warming apocalypse/doomsday meteorite, it will probably be the only device still working,
it is the only jewel a self-respecting man can wear.:-)
Watch the power of thousands of/.ers! Individually, they can't crash a web server, but together - with limited communication and intelligence - they can...
It's common in Belgium and in France (maybe it's a Civil Law thing?). For "press crimes" like slander and libel, the publication of the verdict is usually required, sometimes in several newspapers.
Actually, douche is also a French medical term for the action of introducing water in an orifice for hygienic reasons (I don't know the medical term in english and I don't want to know, don't ask, I'm not a doctor), usually with an adjective describing the orifice in question: "douche nasale", "douche vaginale" (I don't need to translate those, do I?)
However, the instrument -- the douche bag -- used during such "activities" is usually called a poire (literally a pear, metaphoric)
I'm not saying that it isn't true in this case -- but remember that lawyers' first goal -- ALWAYS -- is to make money by successfully representing their clients.
And there's nothing wrong with that, that's what they're paid for.
Tom's Hardware reports that Intel Yonah processor prototypes have energy consumption problems. HardMac also points to this article, by the way... This can explain why Intel and Apple are delaying the availability of the MacBook Pro (ugly, ugly name, bad)
So this whole Shuttle flight was meant to check that the Shuttle could eventually land ?
Kind of "let's launch a few billion dollars into space and see if it comes back", that's very interesting science, IMO
Amaya is the advanced Web editor of the W3C. It's not really production-ready, it's a kind of technology testbed. It supports the whole XHTML family, and XML languages like MathML and SVG.
The highest commercial speed of the TGV is 320 km/h. It can do far higher speed but the eletric consumption is exponential and the tracks and wires would be serviced all the time... it's all about economic feasability.

I hope you all die and go to hell where you can make stupid rebuttals to Satan's posts and mod his comments "flamebait."
God awful :-D
I don't see ads, you Insensitive Clod... uh... wait.
Global warming is also good news for polar bears, you know:
Good News, Bad NewsAnd I thought it was the american embargo that took Cuba into poverty... Thanks for such an insightful comment, asshole.
OK, I give up my moderation rights to share with you a 2002 video (in French) about an experiment on the "egyptian" concrete casting.
Enjoy.

No thanks! I'm trying to stop.

The combined audience will probably be above 30 billions... Usually, above 1 billion people watch the final.
i'm wetting my pants just by thinking about it
I say NO to Microsoft! You will pry my PPC Mac from my cold, dead hands :-)
Yeah ... Of course, the US never does that !
