If you happen to be in the hinterlands (more than 60 miles from a > 500,000 population area) you may not get local channels with directv or dish. You can get a separate antennae and switch back and forth between noraml and sat tv. The only annoying things is you have to turn off you sat receiver because of RF interference. This is a real problem if you get TIVO with your sat dish since the TIVO device has no off switch (why would you ever need to turn TIVO off??). Since the TIVO is integrated in with the Sat received, you cannot turn off the sat receiver and then have trouble seeing local channels 2 to 6.
Will these Gifts count as income and would he be requried to pay taxes on them and effectively pay Micorsoft, who will write off the gifts on their taxes, to lose his domain name?
Does anyone know if those parachutes the shuttle uses to slow itself down will handle a 30 ton payload? Or will they just eject the payload over one of the many strip mines in Appalachia for processing?
it could have been installed as shockwave. My add/remove programs shows showwave installed. and the sw of the swf extensions is for shockwave. Of course my main use of that computer is for endnote and as a big mp3-jukebox so I have not kept the browsers plugins up to date so YMMV. I do everything else on linux.
MacOS X is then a graft of the macintiosh experience on top of good ol unix. Just like the french vineyards are French vines grafted onto american trunks and roots due to the fact a fungus ate all the french roots.

Last time I checked a kleenex is capable of removing water from a damp CD.
Definition of Glass
Glass is a transparent, relatively strong, hard-wearing, essentially inert, and biologically inactive material which can be formed with very smooth and impervious surfaces. These desirable properties lead to the very many uses of glass.
Glasses are uniform amorphous solid materials, usually produced when a suitably viscous molten material cools very rapidly, thereby not giving enough time for a regular crystal lattice to form.
A glass is a intermeidate psuedo-phase of matter between a liquid and a solid.
Please note that common glass, SiO2, is just a type a glass. Much the same way that table salt is a variety of salt.
In fact, plastic in many cases is a glass.
The active material in CD-R's is a variety of a chalcogenide glass. Chalcogen

Intel Wants to Move Beyond Flash
Many types of digital memory are out there, but each has its Achilles Heel. HDDs need to spin, eat up a lot of power and are relatively slow. RAM is fast but volatile and poses challenges in working well with logic components. Flash memory is getting cheaper but has a limited number of write cycles. Well, according to a recent article on EETimes.com, Intel thinks it can move past the downfalls of the various memory types that are now available with two new technologies that could be successors to flash memory. Both are in the think-tank stage but the goal is a low-cost device with fast read and write times that is easy to manufacture. One of the new memory technologies is polymeric ferroelectric RAM (PFRAM), or polymer memory, which uses two layers of metal strands running at perpendicular angles with a thin polymer sheet sandwiched in between. The second is unified memory (OUM). OUM is built on a silicon wafer but uses a thin film of a special material called chalcogenide, which is used in rewriteable CD-ROMs and DVDs. Inc. owns much of the intellectual property in the field and is collaborating with Intel to make the idea work. Ultimately, Intel hopes to come up with a solution that amounts to what most folks look for in a car: cheap, fast, and reliable.
Cd lifetime depends on the type of CD-media. CD-R and CD-RW as well as their DVD counterparts use a much more fluidic glass compound than that used in a true CD-ROM. Also, the 2x disks will most likely store data longer than the 8x disks which will store data longer than the 10x disks. The faster disks use a faster glass which will diffuse faster and thus lose its information faster.
If you truly want to keep your music fresh stick it in your meat freezer next to your now obsolete role of film so that you can sell both on ebay in 20 years as collector's items
Hemoglobin would be considered a crystaline biological material as it was if I recall crystalized well before DNA. Musssel glue polymer would have to much structural heterogeneity to permit formation of true crystals.

It would appear the the iron is only involved in stabilizing the transition state responsible for crosslinking the Dopaquinone monomers. The final glue appears to be iron free.
Does anyone have a better mechanism referernce?
Yeah and I bet the first thing you did was cut a second write protect slot and spin speed hole in the other side of the disk to make it double sided just like those expensive Verbatim disks.
It will most likely be on a post-it in the same draw as the keys to the gun cabinet

Given what I have seen dropped off on days when the local recycler let people bring in used electronics for proper disposal (you would be surprised as to amount of hazardous waste in a computer or dvd player) there should be plenty of boxes sitting in people's garages. Put those local scout troops to good use. phase out the pinewood derby and see who could build the fastest single floopy version of lunar lander or that old star trek game. If we let them use a 64 mb usb drive, they could make it networkable.
It must suck being/. for something you posted almost three years ago and right before xmas to boot. Yeah everybody take the afternoon off. Nothing to see here.
I would assume the difference between entering a nitrogen atmosphere vs a carbon dioxide atmosphere is the larger heat capacity of CO2? Alternatively, it could be a result of greater drag due to the larger mass of CO2 and the ability of CO2 to deform more readily than N2 and thus increasing its effective coefficient of friction.
Just as a bubble is a spherical liquid membrane separating two gases (One gas being inside the spherical membrane), another definition for anti-bubble is a hollow, spherical extent of gas separting two liquids (One liquid being inside the spherical extent of gas).
