For the metric world: 1.7 lbs are 0.77 kg. My netbook has about the same screen surface and for 0.33 more kg it comes with a keyboard and an OS I can use to work with. I acknowledge that the tablet form factor enables usages that are off-limits for my netbook but this tablet is way too heavy to be carried around as one does with a phone. That also prevents some usage patterns. I wonder if the 10" screen and the battery that powers it really weight so much. The other HW differences with my my old N70 phone (0.126 kg) are limited to the GPS, the compass, the accelerometer and the proximity, ambient light and water sensors. They look like tiny and light chips. The HDMI output should weight much.
Any thoughts?
It seems that they already optimized into C++ what was worth optimizing. From the linked Facebook's presentation:
Back-end services that require the performance are implemente [sic] in C++.
Comparing carbon footprints is pretty complex: everything produces carbon, even optimizations, architectural changes, extra developers needed to create and maintain more complex systems written in less web-friendly languages, and I'm no fan of $this-> PHP thing;-) Maybe this guy at webtoolkit should have made some more assumptions before writing that post.
Paolo Berlusconi is the owner of Il giornale through a couple of companies. Does he owns also Libero? I couldn't research who's in the board of Editoriale Libero (the controlling company) but for sure it's a newspaper with positions quite close to Berlusconi.
Mrs Lario (wife of Berlusconi but about to be ex-wife) owns 38% of Il Foglio. I missed that, thanks.
But how about this supposed 35% share of Il Corriere? Il Corriere is owned by RCS Mediagroup and its shareholders are listed on Consob site. Which companies on the list belong to Berlusconi?
Predator drones are built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. of San Diego. Some of its communications technology is proprietary, so widely used encryption systems aren't readily compatible, said people familiar with the matter.
If I can see where you're flying to I won't go there and if I'm already there I'll hide. The ability to intercept the video stream surely makes the drones less effective in their observation tasks.
Time also plays a role in the deal: I can have a technician repairing my pc in a day or go out and buy a new one and spend hours reinstalling everything. The cost of my time could be on par with the cost of the hardware.
I got the HD and the screen replaced on my HP notebook during the 3 years warranty period. The replacement of the HD wasn't really needed because the system malfunction turned out being due to a Windows hiccup (and I upgraded to Linux) but they insisted to ship me a new part. Maybe they wanted to get rid of old 5400 rpm disks. The screen started to develop whitish spots close to the end of the 3rd year of warranty and a technician came to my home and replaced the screen with a new one. In both cases I only had to call the customer service and they sent me the parts and the technician. I was more than happy with the service so I bought another 1 year next business day warranty period.
Sodium derives from modern Latin sodium, coined by Davy [probably this guy] from middle ages Latin soda of arabic origins.
The origin of the element symbol is different. It comes from natrium, the middle ages name for sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, derived from Latin nitrum and Greek nítron (salpetre), that is potassium nitrate, KNO3, which looks like sodium carbonate and was often confused with it in the old ages.
By the way, "kaustik soda" is "soda caustica" in Italian.
... you end up poor and alone. That was a wise move. Furthermore those guys probably contribute to Google's ecosystem even if they're paid by someone else.
I dislike this deal but every single member of the EU Council has been elected in his/her own country with the right of representing that country. They are either Prime Ministers or Presidents. That said, they probably are the usual group of money-grabbing power-hungry and our of touch morons who do whatever you want if you've got the cash, but they have also been elected. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/showPage.aspx?id=429&lang=en
There are hundreds of different pizza recipes here in Italy (the base is the same and the toppings vary). Some variations might be unique to the US but the pizzas I had in the US were no so different from the ones I have in Italy. There is basically one pizza and some country specific toppings.
By the way, I like the US pizzas more than the mid-to-north European ones. That probably means that they are closer to the Italian ones: you know, everybody prefers the taste of food he grown up with.
Those guys had a trial in 2007 but I don't remember the outcome. A non profit organization filed a suit against Google for allowing the video on youtube. They are two different issues and two different trials.
Missing components cannot fail. I'd be really surprised to see my netbook fail more often than my desktop: that could only mean that it has a much less component quality. Handling is the same.
By the way, the things that drove my interest into a netbook were weight, battery duration and size. It's great for flights and trains and good enough to do some work (eeepc 901 with eeebuntu).

Let's try to recap.
Paolo Berlusconi is the owner of Il giornale through a couple of companies. Does he owns also Libero? I couldn't research who's in the board of Editoriale Libero (the controlling company) but for sure it's a newspaper with positions quite close to Berlusconi.

All the major newspapers? As far as I know he owns Il Giornale. Could you name other newspapers he owns?
There is a common misunderstanding in your post.
The ballot screen is there not because of MS' market domination but because MS abused of that dominant position.
If Apple ever gets to dominate the market and doesn't abuse of it, Apple will never be forced to place a ballot on screen.
Again: the EU is not punishing MS for being successful but because of what they did to win against competitors.
No more words needed.
If I can see where you're flying to I won't go there and if I'm already there I'll hide. The ability to intercept the video stream surely makes the drones less effective in their observation tasks.
Mod parent up!
That one was crappy. Definitely :-)

Julian May already wrote about it in The Golden Torc back in the '80s and her story is way more interesting than this one :-)
It seems that sodium is a newer name for natrium. Some languages kept the old one and others switched to sodium.
I found an explanation at http://takimika.liceofoscarini.it/sostanze/etimelementi.phtml?periodo=3&gruppo=1 I translate it from Italian:
By the way, "kaustik soda" is "soda caustica" in Italian.
Not sure, but I think that English is the only language that does not use the word "natrium" for Na.
Natrium was the original Latin name for the element but it's Sodium in English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium, sodio in Italian http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodio, sodium in French http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium, sódio in Portuguese http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3dio, sodio in Spanish http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodio and I stop here because I don't want to enter into languages I don't know.
Google gives 12,500,000 occurrences of Sodium and 730,000 of Natrium.
For the first time, I think that they have taken a step towards being like MS.
Maybe they just overtook MS.
No because of its semantic indentation. It's a religious issue and I'm on the other side, the Right One :-)

Otherwise I won't touch it. I don't like being spied over so easily.
Can they censor queries made by American citizens using a simplified chinese keyboard in the USA?

For sure one can think about it and create some compelling arguments to support that cause so why not? Linus for Nobel!
