It simply boils away and turns into gas. Actually it does so long before you reach a proper vacuum and therefore gets pumped out along with the air. On the negative side: a complete (read 100%, not just 99,99999999998%) vacuum is not exactly easy to create.
The pound or pound-mass (abbreviations:lb, lbm, lbm) is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement. A number of different definitions have been used, the most common today being the international avoirdupois pound which is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.
So it looks like you made your rods a little to heavy...
It has been awhile, but wasn't there an option once to log into Slashdot by adding login and password to the url and setting that as a bookmark? The words "Terribly insecure, but also very convenient" come to mind.
If you are allowed to sue the company because the product was no match for ones stupidity (Coffee is hot when spilled over your lap? An oven door is not a stepladder? NT is not useful for controlling air traffic?...), the companies should at least be able to limit it's intended use. X was build for Y. If you use it for Z don't come crying when you get hurt. Off course you should still be allowed to do so because it is now yours and not theirs anymore.
Parents are much too focused on their own children to really further common good.
Nobody cares about "the children", they care about "their children".
Example needed? Well I could bring up a few school reforms here that were canceled because some parents fought with nails and teeth against the, but you would probably never heard of/care for the places involved.
Just think about adding diversity to a school. Be it Black/Hispanic/Asian/lower income/disabled/Muslim/whatever else is different from my peer group.
Of course not! There might be some compatibility issues with sites containing the info though. As your IMEI data and your location is monitored by dozends of iphone apps anyway, there might even be a nice way to identify all those law defying, criminal readers of secret documents.
If Honeywell dares to employ untrained/unqualified people in a nuclear power plant they should be prosecuted. And sued. Into oblivion. I would suggest that every company running potentially dangerous factories should be forced to place their ceo's offices and shareholder meetings directly downwind from said facility. Where is the FBI when you need them?
What a wonderful time to quit. Good bye WoW, we had some fun time but now it's time to do something that doesn't kill the very last bit of faith I still have in humanity.
In my opinion most of the countries involved were more or less ready and eager to go to war. At the time of the assassination they were simply waiting for an excuse.
1) Wikileaks doesn't print, thats what the press does. 2) At most they are *not* releasing stuff intentionally. It's not like they are picking the gems of the quarter million cables before release, they just erase names and the really dangerous stuff. Afterward it is simply dumped on the public to sort through the mess.
And why is anyone able to access 250.000 items without raising a flag? If this would be about a dozen very revealing documents then it would be a mere oversight or someone being smart/lucky enough to get them out. But 250.000? Don't these systems have any log analyzers?
Why don't you just connect the mouse and keyboard inside the desktop case and lock it. External USB is rather easy to disconnect or to glue shut. BTW I do like the idea of using the keyboard lights as a medium, but wouldn't that require a lot more local access than you should have anyway?
>You're pretty foolish to think nothing can be done about it.
You could, perhaps, protect a secret from being disclosed by 99.99% of people. But all it takes is one person and the secret is out.
And that is the reason I don't believe in large scale conspiracy theories. Apart from reason, better knowledge and questions like "why should I trust this nutcase". Two persons can keep a secret - If one of them is dead. The more people involved, the more likely stuff will leak out sooner or later.
This isn't about not knowing the answer, this is about not knowing an answer might exist. I would never blame anybody not to know details about stuff not within his field. The catch phrase being "details". You should however be smart enough, to accept that you don't know everything and that it is no shame to ask a professional. It's not like medical researchers do the statistical analysis of their data themselves on a regular basis. All I ask for is the ability to identify what kind of problem it is you have and then start asking or reading.
It is even more sad, this went through review and got published.
While I'm already ranting, try asking a doctor what he thinks of amateurs (read: not a doctor) meddling in their field.
And people know that other people lie or at least tend to sweeten things up a little for us. Any diplomat who always believes without doubt what he is told by a diplomat of another country should probably rethink his career choice. People will also talk behind your back, they always have and always will. Accept it.
Do you really think, that not every nation has more or less the same set of documents on the leaders of other nations? Of course a few egos will get scratched but I think most governments where less on the "how dare they" side and more on the "I'm just happy our honest files didn't get out". Well of course it is embarrassing as hell for the US right now, but most foreign relationships will really suffer because everyone has more or less the same stuff in their databases too.
Having visited US a couple of times my experience was more like this:
- There are great places to eat out and I met quite a lot of people who really can cook. - There is an awful lot of crap available in both fast food and stores. - Convenience food sucks. - The sheer amount of artificially flavored, artificially colored and over-sugared stuff available is intimidating. - The beer wasn't bad at all if you didn't stick to the big labels Ask a local what to try and what to stay away from and you are settled. (Hint: Students are lousy advisers on good dining. In the US and anywhere else I have ever been.)
That said, I also have to clarify a few things on german food:
There is none.
Well actually there is a lot of food in germany it is not "german" but regional. And whatever region of germany you come from, traditional food from another region will often taste questionable. There are gems and there is pretty scary stuff all over the world. Know what you do before ordering Kutteln, Lapskaus, Saumagen, Blackpudding, Sirströming, Escargo, Häggis or Texas Oysters.

Then again, it took one shot to start WW I -
In my opinion most of the countries involved were more or less ready and eager to go to war. At the time of the assassination they were simply waiting for an excuse.
If taking the quality of East Germany's TV shows into account, the wall would have been teared down 20 years before it was build.

Now I'm picturing a phone that starts with a robotic "POID"
Wasn't there some device on the market with POID as an anagram?
If I could just remember the name...

The Simpsons already did that.
