If I was told a tidbit of medical advice came from Dr. Dean Edell I'd have weighted that higher than if I'd been told it came from Dr. Laura. This would be based on having heard each of them dispense advice in the past.
The fact that Dr. Laura is not a medical doctor wouldn't even enter into it?
My microwave actually came with a metal rack [that's held out of contact with the sides w/ rubber/plastic stuff], so, yeah, it's safe. I've also microwaved stuff with the fork/spoon still on the plate/bowl, just from forgetting, and nothing bad's happened.
simple plastics that are currently considered at the end of their recyclable lives (see many recyclable symbols on containers that go to 7 or higher?)
I'm not sure, but from this phrasing it looks like you're under the impression that the number on the symbol indicates the number of times it has been recycled - It's not, it's a type identifier.
1: PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) 2: High-density Polyethylene 3: Vinyl (Polyvinyl Chloride) 4: Low-density Polyethylene 5: Polypropylene 6: Polystyrene 7: Other
I, on the other hand, expect the issue to be completely fixed via a total rewrite - considering that there has, in fact, been a total rewrite. Why waste time fixing bugs in a codebase they're about to throw away?
I thought you were claiming bugs in the new discussion system, which doesn't _have_ "oldest post first", and i thought you were complaining at the lack of a nested view _button_ or pagination settings. It's a bit ridiculous to claim that i'm insulting you because I thought you were talking about the new discussion system in a story about the new discussion system.
Most annoying thing I've run into with UAC? Rearranging the desktop or start menu. I know it's a consequence of how they've had it set up since windows 3.1, but why not change it so there's a global start menu and the user start menu is a list of differences from that (not just additional items, but also "deleted" items that don't show up, renames, etc)
The amount of time it actually takes for a butterfly wing flap to result in a hurricane is well in excess of the amount of time for which weather forecasts purport to predict systems such as hurricanes.
Now instead of copyright damages of 18 million dollars or whatever for having a song shared for a given amount of time based on how many copies they assume could have been downloaded, all we have to do is keep logs of how many copies are actually downloaded from us, and each one counts as a "performance". Maybe not free, but a hell of a lot cheaper than what they're suing for.
C'mon folks. We're not all stupid, just the elected people. Lakes dont mysteriously go missing. They evaporate or drain. When they drain there's usually evidence, like a river or a flood.
I think i've figured it out - there's clearly a correlation between people typing directly into the request body of a HTTP POST request via a dial-up modem and those who are taken away from the government.
I use a browser and a real internet connection, so I'm not at risk.
WTF, no-one's saying they'd have to turn over the windows source code - but, regardless of if they modified it or not, if they didn't distribute the Ubuntu source code WITH the Ubuntu binary download, they have to make the Ubuntu source code available for three years.
It can compress, but there's nothing holding it in place at the other end, that's why you get a compression wave and not just, well, a compressed pencil. Overlooking friction is a standard practice smartass.
IME, it is very common for users to call disk drives "memory". And while geeks like us don't use it that way, it's probably technically correct, both for the everyday and technical meanings of "memory", even though we don't normally use it that way. True, it's not random access memory.
The money has to come from somewhere. Why not fund this with a tax on importation and production of cinema-quality prints and digital copies of foreign (read: non-canadian) films?
In this case they can use real cops because copyright infringement for commercial gain (selling copies at a flea market for a profit) is criminal, not civil.
Then aren't they obstructing justice by saying they'll make the charges go away if they turn over the evidence? It also might be some kind of extortion or intimidation (the latter esp. if the cops are armed) if the people selling these have a legitimate case _not_ to be criminally liable (i.e. they have no way of knowing the copies aren't legitimate)
It would actually be the speed of sound (w/ the medium being the pencil itself, likely a bit faster than in air). And you're certainly _not_ going to be able to push it 1 meter instantaneously, think of inertia.
It would start a compression wave through the pencil - which would likely have a fairly low amplitude as the material is not very compressible, but would be moving at, like i said, the speed of sound, and when it reaches the other end, the whole pencil is moving.

Um, I thought nested view was "all expanded", whereas threaded view is equivalent to "all abbreviated".
I'm not sure I see the point of pagination, except maybe to keep the height of the entire page below the magic 65K pixel limit.
Any game that can be played on a mechanical teletypewriter is, by definition, no kind of "video game".

California is free to fine/imprison/punish the employer.
Don't be silly, you can't imprison a corporation, corporations aren't people.

Or a hole in the ground.

That story's over there
Owning a legitimate copy of a copyrighted work does give you some rights.
It can compress, but there's nothing holding it in place at the other end, that's why you get a compression wave and not just, well, a compressed pencil. Overlooking friction is a standard practice smartass.
Is this "MagneticRam" you're referring to a thing of a future, or of the past?

Yes it is.
You think this is an american thing? This has been how all legislation has always been made in the "civilized" world for millennia!

Actually, he's saying the guy in the parking lot was.
I think slashdot doesn't quite have the right idea with this "two for one" deal - well, at least it's better than dupes.
