Yup. My bank offers this as well, and I've started making use of it after having some invalid charges show up on my account a couple of times. It's quite simple and useful, though only useful for online purchases.
And they won't even know how bad they have it, since they won't have that network of college friends working jobs at other companies to compare salaries and work conditions with, or to help them get their next job. They'll be underpaid and happy about it.
Forget the tattoo. Just stick with t-shirts from ThinkGeek or whatever like the rest of us do. Someday when the anti-intellectual revolution comes and Sarah Palin is looking for some fresh necks for her guillotine (aka "Freedom Slicer"), your elitist tattoo will get you killed.

Perhaps MSM likes Twitter because it's the equivalent of 1,000 monkeys with 1,000 typewriters. There are so many people saying so many things, that they can likely find a quote that states whatever they want to state, but they then get to claim somebody else said it. Deniability is probably easier than fact checking.
Perhaps, but I'm more inclined to think that those who are best able to control their personal information will be king.
The vast majority of us will have a thorough enough record of our past deeds and misdeeds to be torn down at any time by anybody who would wish to do so. In theory, mutually assured destruction should prevent anybody from wanting to. The ones who will be successful in doing so, however, will be the ones with less dirt to dig through.
I personally think we should just get the internet really really drunk so it blacks out and forgets everything between puberty and grad school.
Exactly. They had to make up for the extra storage required for the new four digits years, so they took hyphens out of all internet related buzz words.
I'm reminded of the saying, "Those who don't know Unix are doomed to reimplement it, badly."
Quite simply, the decision Apple made to base OSX off of BSD was probably the smartest one they've made. Why reinvent the wheel when the solution you're looking for is already there, stable, and field tested for a good 30 or so years?
I agree completely and thought it was a good question in your post. I was just trying to give a simple explanation of why you would be interested in Ion vs. Ioff for guppysap13.
Wiring up the device is a whole other issue with this 7-atom gate. The small process nodes already have the total device area dominated by the source/drain just to be able to wire it up. Going to effectively zero gate area will only get you maybe a 10% improvement in total area usage without some major changes in how the circuitry is connected.
You've got the theory basically correct, but in the real world the "off" current is just less current, not zero current. To get a good signal to noise ratio, you want Ion / Ioff to be as big as possible. In older processes (or thick oxide devices) you can get really good ratios. You could have an Ion of 10mA and an Ioff of 10nA, for example, for a ratio of 1e6. For newer process nodes on thin oxide devices, that ratio may get as low as 1e3 or worse. In that range, the device still works well for digital circuitry, but speed comes at the expense of very high leakage power. As that ratio gets even lower, you end up with a device that isn't suitable for digital circuitry--you can't tell the difference between an on and an off device reliably.
The other tactic involved here is that if they make enough noise, advertisers may be concerned that the show will lose viewership because of the offense. Advertisers may then pull their support because they don't want to be associated with the content.
We use tons of stand-ins for profanity, with the full support of the language nannies who would have us stop swearing. It really is the words they get upset about, and as you say, they should be more concerned about the meaning and intent than the words themselves.
Examples: Gosh darn it! Buzz off! Schnikeys! What the heck? Dang! Fudge WTF BS Geez!
I had a Mormon friend in high school who had an even larger list of substitutes (things like Son of a Biscuit and Mother Father). As long as he didn't say the actual words, he wouldn't get in trouble with family, church or school. Even though there was no mistaking the intent.
The other problem I imagine you'd have is that the CO2 in the atmosphere is moving. Those very cold parts of the earth tend to also be very windy, and like how a flowing river can see temperatures below 0C and not freeze, I would imagine CO2 would have a hard time freezing out of the atmosphere while blowing around at high speeds.

Jeez! Back in my day, we didn't even have Techno. We only had Pink Floyd, and that's the way we liked it!
Nice Turing test. All the bots who scan this site for email addresses just exploded.

I'm quite puzzled how this would end up being modded "Funny".
Based on the 4-0 win over Argentina today, the climate scientists have predicted that Germany will win the World Cup by 500 points in the final match.

Dude! You're...Insert witty variation here...

You forgot to add the grammar nazi response.

Am I joking? Sometimes I don't even know.

Doesn't seem any different to me, in spirit, to the color-enhanced photos taken by the Hubble telescope.

My MBP has the same Harrier jet engine feature your Dell had. Apple follows the same laws of physics everyone else does.

My eyes and ears are also man-made. My creators were drunk though at the time.
Christopher Tolkien released an amended version of The Hobbit based on his father's notes and drafts.
Apparently the elder Tolkien did a LOT of speed in his autumn years...
And if the Global Warming scientists are right, it'll soon be in the ocean too--just like the scramjet!

For the sake of the cat, I'm hoping you're only using it as a repeater. I'd hate to see how you ran the ethernet cable for the WAN link...

Pure speculation on my part though.
