On the other hand based on research done on the Zimbabwe outbreak Ebola is almost only transmissible in unsanitary hospital conditions (such as sharing needles).
Then why's there such a high infection rate among doctors and nurses who treat Ebola patients without wearing pressurised suits?
Who? Microsoft, of course, in whichever US state the EULA says has jurisdiction over it. If they want to break off a contract between you and them because they don't like the actions of a third party, then they'd better compensate you.
QIR? Cola de peticiones de interrupcion (accent on the last o - how to use HTML entities?) is the closest I can get to a direct translation of IRQ. I'd guess CPI_NI_MENOR_NI_IGUAL.
A grammar checker which supported English (or "British English" in MSese) would be a good start. When I used Office I got fed up with it complaining about me using "which" in a context where Americans use "that".
Cause Apple want to keep things simple for their maintenance programmers. If it only runs on Apple hardware, they don't have many setups to test against.
This was a Good Thing, particularly because Napster's client software (and therefore users) mainly knew peer performance by interface bandwidth
Correction: by user's belief regarding interface. The number of users who arbitrarily claimed to have the highest capacity in the list greatly exceeded the number who actually had that capacity.
Since the alkanols are C_n H_2n+1 OH, H2O is the 0th alkanol. How would one extend the sequence meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, pent- back one? Is "nonanol" a suitable name?
For many sites the only way that they can make money from their content is to have people pay for it either directly or in advertising potential, but many of the people currently on the internet, and it seems to be mostly made up of longer term users, feel that they have a right to view a website without paying for it.
I think there are two reasons that it's mainly "longer term users" who block ads: firstly, that we remember when the web was about exchanging information rather than making profit; and secondly we tend to be comfortable switching browser or installing blockers.
As to the ethics of popup blocking:
Flash popups actually cause me to actively dislike the company they advertise, so if I could disable them I'd be doing the advertising companies a favour.
A good proportion of popovers / popunders seem to be essentially scams / spam harvesting schemes.
I don't buy stuff over the web. Therefore the company hosting the ads probably does better out of me not downloading the ad, because that saves them bandwidth.
If a company's business model isn't viable, the company goes down. Welcome to capitalist survival of the fittest. Bonuses for subscribers is a far more sustainable business model than advertising.
Your assertion that Oak was intended to run on native hardware seems to contradict Sun's history of Java. It could be revisionist history, but do you have a source for your claim?
I think part of our disagreement is over the meaning of "piggy-back". To me, the term implies exploiting the existence of a product to build on it, saving yourself some effort - like, say the languages which are compiled by source-to-source translation into C followed by C compilation. Thus Jython piggy-backs on the JVM. But the JVM wouldn't exist without Java.
You point out that VB.NET and VC++.NET have been modified to fit the.NET model. Why don't you say the same about C#.NET, and thus establish your case that they piggy-back on it to the same extent? I submit that it's because you can't, because C#.NET and the.NET framework were developed together to work together, and thus effectively the other.NET languages are piggy-backing on C#'s platform.
I don't know C++, so I'm not sure how good its destructors are - in particular, whether you have a guarantee that the destructors of objects still in memory will be called when the program exits. If you can live without such a guarantee, you can have destructors in Java.
finalize
isn't documented to have any guarantees at all, but in practice if an object is GC'd then it will be finalised shortly after. However, the preferred way of doing it now is
PhantomReference
. I would give a demo, but the demo I just spend 20 minutes writing has too many curly braces, so the lameness filter doesn't like it.

The technology is essentially voice amplification. It doesn't read minds.

Can't find the details, but IIRC to qualify for that record the microphone has to be a certain distance (order of 10m) from the screamer.
0.19 dB? A ticking watch is about 20dB, and it's a log scale.

You mean there are better American news sources than the Onion?
As to the ethics of popup blocking:
Better than "This product may contain nuts".
Strange. I didn't notice any media players built into the first four OSes I used. In fact, I don't think I saw any before Win95.
