Keeping track of the north magnetic pole is Newitt's job. "We usually go out and check its location once every few years," he says. "We'll have to make more trips now that it is moving so quickly."
Your webdesigner friend is ill-educated, then - although I suspect you're misquoting him/her. HTML does not force you to incorporate formatting, and works perfectly well with CSS. There is no practical advantage to XHTML over HTML, unless your back-end system requires XML compliance. HTML-4.01 can't achieve that due to the presence of a few empty elements without close tags.
From TFA: The two planets -- normally separated by about 140 million miles -- will not be this close again until 2018.
Normally separated by 140 million miles? On average, Earth orbits at 93m miles, Mars at 140m miles, both roughly on the same plane. That means the distance will vary periodically from around 230m miles to 47m miles. This current phenomenon is a "minimum minimum" which is why it is notable.
It sounds like CNN looked up the orbital distance from Mars and assumed that it orbits the Earth...
Don't be silly. I've played on Linux on a 486DX50, and it worked fine. You just have to choose your software carefully. My home server is a PII/450, and that can run X over VNC perfectly acceptably.
It costs Apple $90.18 in materials to build the unit and $8 to assemble it, leaving a profit margin before marketing and distribution costs of about 50%.
The article is light on details. I hope they took account of amortization of any tooling or plant investment. It's this sort fo thing that stops the small players, hobbyists and enthusiasts producing anything similar for reasonable money.

To be fair, he's not wrong, the sentence is unfortunately ambiguous. The hinge must provide the freedom to turn 340 degrees, which is what he said.
At least, I assume that's what's meant, rather than a massively multidimensional hinge...
Additionally, this sort of action is morally indefensible, and no doubt the company took a great deal of flack from it's customers over it.
A fair point, but do consider this: the impersonal possessive pronoun does not take an apostrophe.
So OpenOffice is like ClarisWorks was in 1983, then...?
New, improved Lapinator. Turn ordinary stuff into rabbits!
From the article:
Early Sunday, that capsule nose-dived through Earth's atmosphere at a record 29,000 mph, the fastest return for a man-man probe.

A light year is a measure of distance - the distance that light can travel in a year.
You mean "light light years", which is the time taken for light to travel one light year.

North pole track-keeper - what an easy job!

Amazing... now who was surveyed? Are Linux and Mac users concerned by the survey? Or they aren't worthy of the title "home PC users"?
Everyone knows that "PC" == "Windows". Duh.
if everyone used proper spelling and grammer, computer comprehension (and filtering) would be able to improve.
QED. It may interest you to know how many ways there are to spell Viagra...
one Opteron will draw (conservatively) 1 Amp, and use (more conservatively) 100 Watts.
1A and 100W?! So Opterons run at 100V supply do they?
Getting any younger?
Yes, I am.
...and they want their geocentric theory back...

...does it run Linux?
Oh, right.

Of course, this may explain France's military record.
What's wrong with french military victories?

It's OK, you've restored order by continuing to misuse the humble apostrophe.
But they aren't the true sources of spam. That comes from elsewhere. It's pretty easy to have a bunch of zombies spew your messages out there.
Just send a spike to find out where they are, then. I learned that from the telly.
Maybe CmdrTaco could use it to search for tips on apostrophe usage.
No /. endlessly repeats the same storys.
This one does.
And it's "stories".
It may be more helpful for organizations to identify which systems on their networks are sending e-mail.
If an organization wakes up to this problem, why would it not simply block port 25 outgoing except to its mailservers?
100000000 Pascals. It's a unit of pressure. It's equal to 1000 bar...
You missed off a zero, and isn't 1 bar equal to 101325 Pascals?
all we have is the word of the spammers themselves, and you must remember rule #1 (spammers lie.)
If spammers are 100% habitual liars, it's easy to get around that:
