The article states its the build-up of static rather than the phone itself sparking the fires.
Getting in and out of your car is much more likely to cause a spark, precisely due to static electricity. Especially in dry climate and cold days (when people are more likely to leave their engines running as well as get back in the varmth of their car during fueling). And yes, it has been shown that women are more likely to get back in their car during fueling.
Yes - unfortunately it seems to take a LONG time of testing, testing more, and then do some more testing before inventions like this can be 'released' for the benefit of mankind. There's also the financial aspect of it... All the large companies wanting to cash in on something like this.
Reminds me of Andre Linoge - "Give me what I want, and I'll go away."
Except, hopefully, these stooges will go away eventually without getting what they want. As a matter of fact, I agree with the parent - ignore it and forger about it, and it'll eventually starve.
Since it seems that most all envelopes I came in contact with in Europe were *slightly* larger than A5 size, a printed A4 sheet folded in half fit perfectly - none of this folding threeways stuff that you have to do in the US.
Since you can see similar results when doing the double-slit experiment with light (photons) or with water, has someone performed this experiment with waves on water?
A friend in Sweden tells me that you're already allowed to make copies for "personal use" there - that is, if you purchase a DVD, you're allowed to make a backup copy. He also says "The DVD-consortium pretends like that's not the case, but they are wrong."
With 1TB disk, would it be most likely to have some kind of high-speed RAID configuration? I mean, what's the peak bitrate for recording one channel? And what will the peak bitrate for 7 channels be?
...and now there is a labor surplus in computer techs...
Not for long, if one is to believe a short snippet I head on NPR the other day, where the head of a Computer Science department somewhere in California had to start luring in students with courses like Computer Game Design. It was predicted that within the decade, there would be a shortage of IT workers.
When I said 'first', I meant in this specific sequence of posts...dude. Or dudette - can't tell since you're an AC. And joke necromancy is what it is all about. Condemning old (dead?) jokes to death (again?) by not retelling them to future generations to come (so they can kill them too?), (when we start collecting Social Security - if there is any left by then) isn't good for neither health nor environment.
Imagine a world where this joke all of a sudden wasn't being told anymore:
That's got to be one of the oldest joke in the book. But as such, we can't abandon it like a piece of trash on the highway shoulder, only to be picked up when some prison inmates are forced out on the roads to clean them, or shredded up even more when a snow plow thunders past it. No - old jokes has to be kept alive and thriving, both in mutated and pristine forms, making sure they survive and live on in our children, but not our childrens' children, because I don't think children should have sex (yes, another old joke).
And I deal with forces beyond comprehension every day (aye, that would be my wife).
Slashdot Mirror
Have they even mentioned anything *BSD?
The real atheist answer would be "I can't tell you until we have discovered the Grand Unified Theory."
Ok, ok, that was bad. Flogging may commence...
Sounds to me like another MikeRoweSoft.com - except the other way around. Or something.

Amen to that - as well as FreshMeat.
Brings back memories, when we would check out each others' .project files... Hopefully this tool will be a little easier to manage.
Aw, that's just the White Wine talking...

You're absolutely right. I just couldn't remember the name for the envelope sizes.
I think he was talking about his...umm. Well. You know.

Well, here is an idea to develop...
Exactly. Think "splitting of the beer molecule"... Emc...

I've heard that with a BIOS upgrade (of the modchip) you can break the 120G barrier.
Or:
D'oh!

Oh, good. Now I have more material for my light evening reading sessions.

Next, they'll need to come up with a method of filtering the news, where the real violence is.
Imagine a world where this joke all of a sudden wasn't being told anymore:
-Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
-Boo.
-Boo who?
-Don't cry!

Geez, I need to quit. Now.
No - I just like posting these things so that nitpickers who are sore because they didn't get to post it first get something to bitch about.
