Inflation solves the horizon problem. According to this latest calculation (see TFA), inflation also leaves some UBLW (unimaginably long wavlength) gravitational waves that account for the apparent acceleration of the general expansion, without the shamefully ad-hoc introduction of dark energy.
In the entire bill, they avoided declaring what sorts of things are "harmful to minors." They left that to a bureaucrat who will soon be public enemy #1, of both the pro- and anti-censorship forces.
Almost half of Mensa members are spouses of those with 98%+ IQs. You couldn't very well leave someone's husband or wife out of a primarily social organization.
Utterly and completely wrong. All members must achieve a 98th percentile score on an intelligence test. There are no "members by marriage," although there are many married couples who are members.
Spouses are welcome to attend events (as are just-good-friends), but they are not necessarily members.
This is not a blanket defense of Mensa or its members. There are idiots in Mensa. However, they are idiots who scored high on an intelligence test.
Maybe my searching techniques have co-evolved together with the search-jammers' techniques, but I generally get prettty good results. The most notable except is for hotels. No matter how specific my search terms are, the one hotel I may be looking for comes on page 3 or later. The top 20 spots all go to packagers fronting for a zillion hotels.
I remember when one of these events occured and Johnny Carson made a reference to it saying it wouldn't happen again for a hundred years, or some such statement. Well the beauty of the American love of AM and PM meant it happened again exactly 12 hours later.;-)
Nope. He said it in the PM.
So if the Brits started us out with the AM/PM, the quarts, the acres, the bushels, and all that rot, and now laugh at us for using them... was the system of measurements the first troll?
When a journalist gets secret information and tries to protect the source, it's usually for the reason that it's information the public has a right, or neeed to know.
I can't argue for or against "usually," but this looks like just plain business to me. The so-called journalist has a business interest in concealing his source -- he wants to get more sources in the future and revealing one would discourage others. If he's willing to sit in jail or pay fines for his business interest, he "wins" in some sense, but pays the price for enhancing his business.
And I won't argue about "a right," but I sure don't think the public has a need to know about Apple's next product.
They sold 5 million shares of their stock on the Monday following the press release, at a price double what they had been trading for. Lucky coincidence? Perhaps.
Neither TFA nor the company's half-informative web site say that the ads will be inserted in the user's browser, or if they are, that it will be done by a proxy server. It looks to me like they may go elsewhere on the desktop. Either way, this smacks of yet another IE/Windows-only offering. (That is to say, the Linux geeks will be monitoring the ether to see if the access-fu is weak.)
Linux and Solaris admins have been coping with kernel-inserted malware for years. It will be amusing to see if the Windows victims do distinctly better or worse with it.

I have never gotten any useful results form AskJeeves.

Who is the idiot, the CEO who deep-sixes innovation, or the board that sets her incentives that way?
And of course the board can't help it, because their incentives are ...

How much of that pay would it take to make you happy again if you were unhappy during work hours? Would it even be possible?
Where the heck do you live? In New York, it'll cost you a lot more than fifty bucks to insert thingy here.

'S truth. CATV stood not for CAble TV, but for Community Antenna TV.
"Grid" is all about "You let me use your spare cycles, and I'll pretend I'm going to let you use my spare cycles in return."

With a trailing P/E of 276, the market must think WindRiver has a philosopher's stone up its sleeve! Even darling GOOG is only half that pricey.
Q. What do you hear when you format the iPod array? A. All your favorite songwriters decomposing.
I know that this was brought up at an IETF meeting in '99 using the example SUN.COM, where the C was a Cyrillic S.
Crap.
I was hoping to see some actual cycle counts from a full-system profiler or something.
