What do you mean never? "Kilo" has always meant 10^3 for HDDs, likewise for mega, giga, etc.
Moreover, why would it make any more sense to use KiB than KB for things like file sizes other than purely historical reasons? A file is a sequence of bytes of arbitrary length with no grouping whatsoever. It's just a sequence. I wouldn't mind using SI units when dealing with hardware that is already specified in SI units to begin with.
TFA is very thin on the facts, but I think the idea is to find out the real approximate age of the typist/user. If that user is then chatting with a minor while claiming to be 15, but is actually 25-35, then that could raise some red flag in the system. Not a shabby idea, I think, presuming it works..
It was working for you because it had been fixed already. Youtube just happens to be a major site on the Internet, why wouldn't it be news?
Anyway, I was watching something when it happened, but noticed nothing except not being able to start the next video in the playlist, something must have happened to the front end servers.
Very rare? Hardly. I'd say I could teach most people to tell the difference consistently in a day, or a few days. Not necessarily just by the quality of the interpretation of the written music, but also by the technical quality of the players themselves. That's also a part of the played music, but much easier to assess objectively. This doesn't really translate to the sense of taste, though, so the example isn't very good to begin with.
It was a matter of price, but actually, the Concorde did make a profit, especially for BA. In fact, the survey you talk about revealed to BA that they were charging below the market price. Not only could they have raised prices, they actually did, and thus turned a neat profit. No surprise there.
"Okay.... well if men don't really care to see their women in a ton fo makeup on a regular basis, what other motivation is there?"
I think you're confusing "use of makeup" with the "use paint roller on eyelids" thing that some do. Good use of makeup goes almost completely unnoticed in the same way good editing in a movie goes almost completely unnoticed.
Don't forget Renoise, a sequencer/tracker of considerable quality for Win/OSX/Linux. It's not open source, but you can get a demo that has no limitations other than rendering support.
I have an Echo Audio MIA that works well in Ubuntu using just the Medibuntu repo, balanced as well as digital I/O. I haven't checked if the higher end cards and boxes work, though.
Though I'm not him, I believe the answers are: (1) transfer account-to-account (2) transfer account-to-account (except perhaps for payment arrangements, loans and such, which complicate things) (3) transfer account-to-account. I'm in Finland, and transfers within the bank happen instantly, and bank-to-bank take no more than 3 bank days. All you need is the recipient's account number and some sort of name, and off you go. No fees at any point for anyone.
Part of the situation is also that fair prices under RAND aren't available to any asker, just within the consortium, i.e. to it's members. The whole thing really seems to me like some sort of business deal wrapped in infringement lawsuit paper anyway, but IANAbusiness expert.
Well, let's wave it around on slashdot instead. I put my location as 12345 New York, and got:
5270 kbps in
720 kbps out
133 ms lag
3 ms jitter
I live in Finland. Now I wonder how large a proportion of American slashdotters get better results, given all the talk of broadband sucking over there? (I indicated in the address field that it's a foreign, invalid test, btw)
AFAIK, this is about viewing and working with code. Not managing the code in the actual files. Also, there's nothing wrong with a scrolling workspace, where scrolling is easy like Photoshop or Google Earth.
We need an ad whitelist. I have a blocklist I've copied from somewhere else that effectively blocks just about everything ad-like. However, I don't actually mind ads that are useful and don't flash/scroll/make fart noises. Somehow allowing those through would make the web better for everyone.
It doesn't have to be silent degradation. Imagine a pop-up notification: "You have just lost 2000 XP and your +3 armor of wisdom, buy the game to regain them!", or "All injuries will now become instant headshots, this won't happen if you buy the game!".

There is no remote control, actually. The teams are only allowed two-way voice radio and one-way telemetry.
Yes. Velocity Rate would perhaps be a better choice, in which case it is velocities/s = m/s^2 = acceleration.

A lot of people use it when they should use *smirk*, *g*, or :) instead. It's a disease.

That is the raunchiest picture I've ever seen in a chemistry paper.
I don't get that one. I haven't seen any black, remotely realistic-looking attachments for the Wii. Third-party accessory maybe?
OT: you might want to try the Opera 10 mobile beta.
The IDE doesn't code interactions, the programmer does by way of the diagrammed view that the IDE presents.

Using the battery to charge itself is actually kinda clever. All rechargeable batteries should have this inside them as standard!
All jokes are appropriate. Some are just badly made.

Ah I see, I thought you meant the disk itself would become unusable.
