Another important piece of missing information: was BitLocker turned on? Did this defeat the full-disk encryption? THAT would be a story. Otherwise, BFD.
They deviated a bit from standard analysis procedures. They boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105%. Bit of a gamble, but they needed the extra resolution.
S/he's using a rather stupid definition, favored by Marxists, wherein coercion magically appears anytime one choice is obviously better than the others. Apparently, by definition, the only "free" choices are ones with insubstantial consequences. All others are coerced because not making the "right" choice results in sub-optimal outcomes for the chooser.
Seems a rather backwards way of looking at it to me, but there it is.
Sure it will be in violation of treaty, but how will they care if they can reign down Nukes from the Moon and LEO.
But you're talking about countries that already have the ability to rain down nukes via ICBM. So other than costing at least 1000 times more for our enemies, it's hard to see how this is appreciably different from the current security arrangement.
My guess is that it's because earlier telephones had dials, which, for whatever reason, had the 1 at the top of the dial and the 9 at the bottom. When letters were added for mnemonic purposes, they mapped the alphabet onto the dial from top to bottom. Then, when it came time to switch to keypads, they didn't want to rearrange the letters nor change the mappings.
That's not what a.25% interest rate means. It means that a dollar a year from now is.25% away from being worth the same as a dollar today. It doesn't say anything at all about the current value of the dollar.
For one, the price of gasoline is not directly tied to the price of crude oil - it's also affected by refinery capacity, supply and demand of other petroleum products, and the varying supply of gasoline in particular.
For two, I've recently witnessed gas prices fall from around $4 to almost $1.50. Am I hallucinating this?
People are getting the terminology wrong. The power or data cables to your house are not "natural" monopolies unless they somehow physically preclude competing power or data cable from being attached. They are usually "state monopolies," granted by law, not physics.
The road in front of your house is an entirely different matter, because there can physically be only one road in front of your house. That's what makes it a "natural monopoly." That's totally disanalagous to wires connected to a building.
Since you seem familar with the subject, maybe you know: how close are we to being able to go in the other direction, i.e., pipe an image directly into the brain, bypassing the eyeballs completely?
That's what pisses me off about UAC. If "Program Files" was read-only we could detect it and warn the user to store config somewhere else. As it is we have to say either "switch off UAC" or "Install our stuff somewhere else", neither of which I like.
Why don't you use C:\ProgramData like you're supposed to?
Not to mention, Homer was in a coma for 7 weeks at one point.

You're missing the point. You may have slightly greater amounts of personal liberties. That might make you the "freest in the free world." But the U.S., nearly alone, has the men, tanks, ships, aircraft, and will to make sure it stays that way. That's what makes them the "leader" of the free world.
Of course, there's another view, also presented at the above kerneltrap article: If you swap everything, you'll have a very long wait when returning to something you haven't touched in a while.
But this should only be true if it was paged to disk and you actually did need that RAM for something. If it gets paged to disk but the RAM is never used for something else then there shouldn't be any performance hit at all. It might be more productive (especially if your computing is unpredictable) to stay very swappy but decrease the amount of pre-emptive disk caching so that the RAM is less likely to be used for some other purpose.
Are you sure? I was under the impression that Vista aggressively pages out when it thinks it can do it without impacting system performance, but will utill keep the page in RAM. That way the RAM can be quickly freed and used for other processes if needed (i.e., large programs can start quickly), and the disk page ignored and overwritten (ultimately never helping but never hurting much either) if it is ultimately never used.

So, is it an M-Class planet or not?
Shit, Germany is probably the most pro-labor union workforce in the World, but they export three times more goods than CHINA.
What is your source for this?
It looks a lot better than that previous fiasco, Sousaphone Hero.

Morally? No. Legally? Yes.

That said, you were right inasmuch as such economic boycotts and demonstrations helped create the social consensus necessary to pass these laws.
P.S. I take no position on whether or not these laws were wise or just.
My best guess is she went to openoffice.com, and clicked the link to download OpenOffice there.
It takes you to a website that does indeed let you download OpenOffice.org - but you have to sign up to be a member of their download service first.
So she didn't actually get charged for OOo, she got charged for the privilege of being in their SOOPER-DOWNLOADERZ club. Sleazy, but caveat emptor.
Why is that? "Pressurized" != "Hermetically sealed"

No it isn't.

That is perhaps the main reason for having the electoral college, but not the main reason for having electoral votes.
