If this hit close enough for the ammonia to kill you, the shrapnel would kill you anyway. Ammonia really isn't terribly dangerous. I've had anhydrous leak in my face before. Wasn't pleasant, but wasn't particularly deadly. Hell of a way to die though, I can't imagine how terrible it would hurt to be killed by shrapnel, but have to suffer in a cloud of ammonia while you die. (Ammonia dissolves readily in wounds, eyes, etc. and it burns).
Ammonia, in its pure, gaseous form, is used as a refrigerant. It cools much colder than freon. It's used in industry to freeze meat products, though some have gone to (less effective, but "safer") CO2, which is actually more dangerous.
CO2 is less toxic, but NOBODY fails to recognize an ammonia leak.
Ehh, not quite. Haven't seen Al Gore's movie, but Michael Moore is, undeniably, a great filmmaker, and great documentary producer, so far as entertainment value goes. Although his ideology is way out in left field (coming from someone who is undoubtedly left of center), his filmmaking prowess, which is what he earned the Oscar for, is unmistakable. I enjoy his movies with full knowledge that they are insanely biased (To the point of the occasional out and out lie).
The Austrian school is generally discredited among other economists. This is not true of all schools of thought, and of course, there was a time that it was accepted, hence the Nobel prizes and such, but just because we gave some guy a medal for something doesn't mean it can never be questioned again.
Oops, I always forget that I have adblock installed. I only very recently started using it (I wish I could easily select "annoying ads" to block. I don't mind most, but don't blast me with pop-unders, flash ads, etc.). Maybe that's why I had trouble seeing its utility.
I was wondering the same, Google helped very little, maybe lower bandwidth? Seems useless to link to. Not sure why Wikipedia is mirrored so often, what is Wikipedia's uptime? I'd be shocked if it were below 99.9%, maybe even a 5-niner.
That's not right. Name in Japanese is Minna daisuki katamari, or something like that, literally "Katamari is everyone's favorite" but it could have easily been "Bokura (Watashitachi, wareware, various other awkward but acceptable "we"s) daisuki katamari" Which would be We instead of everyone, and in Japanese there is the same distinction. Also, Wii in Japanese probably sounds almost identical to English-speakers, as would DS (Di- essu, but the u is barely heard)
Not all laptops are good with sleeping. My Asus Eee is a wonderful laptop, love it. But the harddrive is too small to waste on a hibernate file, and sleep draws way too much power (It has a long battery life despite having a small battery - it's just low draw. Sleep draws about the same power no matter what. So on smaller batteries, sleep is expensive).
Yes, that is the intention. I think you're right about the phone book entries, I had forgotten about that, but I don't have it with me to confirm. In that case, one would have to rely on speed dial or memory, either of which would severely limit your phone book.
Has voice commands (In that it will read the command name to you as you go over it), as well as well-defined separations between the keys. It, has good battery life, too. It's a candybar phone, however, and is very limited. I picked one up (with prepaid service) for about $12, but their full retail US is still only around $50. CDMA and 3G are both available.
99% is terrible, not that you're not just pulling that number out of your ass. Sell 1,000,000 copies? 10,000 of them are defective and screw up consumers' computers. Good luck with that second million.
The problem with that is that, in general, excluding Knoppix, Linux is a much larger commitment than Firefox. Even Knoppix is a slightly larger commitment. (I've never had as much luck with other Live CDs, Ubuntu's crashed my system on boot, DSL is great, but not generally full-OS, and DragonFlySBIE [I think? I'ts been a long time], though not Linux, didn't have such great hardware support)
He said he forgot his wife turned on one-click purchases, and he clicked buy as a joke (I'm not sure how a joke only he sees is funny? I mean, millions of people saw it now, be he didn't know that. Btw, best joke ever. Anyway...). I think they should refund all of the other 7 for their purchases, assuming they didn't do the same. Then they should charge the one-click-wife guy the rest of the 7.
In all honesty though, if Apple wants to make people "whole" or at least do some deed of compensation, they should refund their commission. After all, the cost would be minimal, and it's not like the revenue has any real bearing on something they did to earn it. I don't think they should bother though. Stupidity should be punished.
They can't stop you from copying from DVDs, so the idea is that the low-hanging fruit of BluRay copying is only as good as DVD, thus not worth development, so the only worthwhile copying is the hardest to crack. (Note that all of these assumptions and decisions were made before the standard was released, so the fact that it's already been cracked is irrelevant).
Externalities? The effects they have on people who are not direct parties to their transactions? Sounds like a fairly reasonable way to judge people to me.
You are correct, $250M is 250,000, and 250M Kindles is 250,000,000. Find a bank that will let me earn interest on a Kindle, and I'll use MM to count them in millions.
It's just a supposition, I'm not trying to build a working solution. The energy could be used indirectly as well, say using it on Mars to produce fuel (Like electrolyzing water to get hydrogen and oxygen, though obviously that would not be the method used).
If the transport vehicle ran on petroleum, you could just use the Martian oil to power it. A huge waste of oil, but if you don't, you'll never get to use any of it anyway. This is not to say that I think this is a good idea, or even a likely possibility, just saying that the cost of getting the oil back would be much, much lower than normally, since the fuel would be "free". (If you don't use it, the market price would be 0)
Code can be free speech whenever you want it to be. On a computer? You can restrict its use and export. But they could always do the PGP trick. (Google is your friend, but you should all know what I'm talking about)

For our older readers: This is no longer the case.

Installing KDE programs on Windows is harder than installing Linux, at least it was the last time I tried.

I think she gave birth after 8 months, and was weighed in the hospital. Just my guess.

Wow, you did a great job of getting the point of my message. Bravo, I comment you. Draw a fucking picture and fuck off.
