Better to hear from a lawyer for that, than to hear from one because a hot metal spark burned into the kid's eye.

IPv6 is Here

The IPv6 numbers could be divided into "public" and "personal" numbers. "Personal" numbers would include your computer, cell-phone, etc., and "public" numbers would include kiosks, public access computers, etc.
I bet they will, now. Washington Mutual is just the trend-setter here. They are pretty proud of the work they've done on this; it is a new thing for banks.
Just think about it for a second. If the satellites weren't there to intercept the light, it would hit the Earth anyway. Some of it might get reflected off, some of it might get absorbed into the atmosphere.
Now, the satellites intercept some sunlight, some of which is reflected off the satellite, and some of which is converted into microwaves and beamed down. In the conversion and the beaming, some of the non-reflected energy is lost.
So, in either case, the Earth is getting less than the full amount of sunlight, the question is which introduces more net energy into the Earth, direct absorption of natural light, or microwave conversion and beaming? I'd say that natural absorption of light would actually introduce more energy than the powersat would.
Finally, don't forget that we aren't talking a lot of energy here. A powersat won't put out much more than a standard coal-burning plant, right? That is only a small amount of energy as far as the planet is concerned, though it will be plenty for us.
I notice that your friendly neighborhood web-slinger tends to get a little bitchy when he's someplace flat. Spidey has an advantage with skyscrapers, and he knows it.
Mod parent up. That's a good point. Who's to say we aren't entering a period of rapid mutation right now? IIRC, that's pretty much the premise of X-Men.
Given the environmental changes around us, greater population mixing, and plentiful and contaminated food supply we enjoy, I would not be at all surprised if we've reached an interruption of our equilibrium. It just makes sense; I should have seen it coming.
First, they don't support multiple inheritance. Second, if you change a setting from the parent style, you can't go back to the parent setting Third, you can't specify that, for example, style A and style B should have 6 points between them. Fourth, tables styles relate oddly to text styles.

It's not so much that I'm annoying, as it is I'm always right and they just refuse to believe me.
But it is something out of David Brin's.

Remind you of anyone?
Inflatable technology? Hey kids, it's Dr. Schlock!
She told me she ... looked forward to servicing my needs again.
Which store was this again? 'Cause I got needs too, baby.
It looks like the Smog Planet. The atmosphere is opaque. If we landed a probe on Titan, we'd probably see a wall of brown air.
Have you learned nothing from Y2K? Nothing obsolete goes away.
Wow. I'd forgotten about the HAL 2000 commercial. Kick ass!
Puzzle was 600 bytes. Damn.
A 20 year monopoly on the arrangment of 'stuff' is ok with you?
Compared to business method and "one-click" patents? Yeah.
And here is the actual text of the patent.
why hasn't apple done this with their stores?

I'm actually okay with this one. At least this is a patent on something physical, something that can be built.
A retail layout is more like a device to increase sales, than a business method is.

That would be funny if it weren't for that fact that penii are not really "love-muscles".
No can do. It just feels... wrong.
Mike, is that you?
(Not safe for work)
Are you sure that doesn't just apply to zero-G conditions?
That's just labelling. There's no "mph" unit; the "p" stands for "per".
mph means mi/h, and kph means km/h.
Shoe-phone, anyone?
Steep learning curve? I had my WANG figured out by the time I was 14 or so...
Word's styles have at least four problems:
First, they don't support multiple inheritance.
Second, if you change a setting from the parent style, you can't go back to the parent setting
Third, you can't specify that, for example, style A and style B should have 6 points between them.
Fourth, tables styles relate oddly to text styles.
