If you don't care what happens when the battery runs out, you can disable SafeSleep (so it's just straight-up suspend to ram) by setting the hibernatemode parameter to 0
see "man pmset" for more info.
For some reason, laptops are set to SafeSleep and desktops are not, which seems backwards to me: desktops don't have a nice battery to gradually drain in the event of power failure, so I'd think they'd want to protect the ram image by writing out the memory at the begining, but laptops do have a conveninent battery to gracefully fail in the event of power loss, so I fail to see why they would need to hibernate immediately. If I had me druthers, I'd put it on a timer: closing the lid goes to sleep, but after 10 minutes or so (user selectable) of no acceleration detected, only then does it write out the memory state and power down. Some times the lid is just closed to carry the machine to another room.
Your home directory will automatically reclaim space when you log out, that's why it takes so long to do so when you have file vault enabled. But you can reclaim the space on a sparse disk image as well. Unfortunately a quick google search suggests that there is no gui functionality for this.
They do not. They do however charge a bunch to ship the wheelchair (since it's oversized checked baggage). Also, as you might have noted in the previous sentence: the wheelchair bound do not get to ride their own wheelchairs in the terminal.
But more importantly: it's a disability that requires more resources to accommodate. The very fat simply need an extra seat. Even if they only ooze over 10%, that means that I, the unlucky sod sitting next to the very fat, cannot use the armrest, have to have part of my body in contact with their creepy warm folds (I used to be thin enough to scrunch over, which although uncomfortable is preferable to the unwanted contact), and have to deal with the pit smell and their loud strained breathing.
I don't get 10% of my ticket back for the inconvenience, and am uncompensated for the experience as well. I like Kevin Smith's movies, but I wouldn't want to sit next to him on a plane.
If you buy retail, you won't get any "support" either. Other than the aforementioned patches that everyone gets. There's really no reason not to get the "system builder" edition unless you plan to swap out motherboards frequently.
*unless you're a student. Then you can get windows 7 for $30, which is about 60% less than the price of Windows XP eBay edition. ($75-90).
Can you still get winXP and office 2k? Maybe he had to buy a new computer and didn't want a legacy OS on it. Computers don't last forever you know.
For home use, maybe he just got tired of the aesthetics. Or do you live in a bare apartment with minimalist furniture and fluorescent tube shop lighting?
Normally you avoid data distortions like this by using a better kind of chart.
The problem is that they're trying to visualize two different things in one chart (relative and total values), and the compromise you make doing that in a stacked chart pretty much sacrifices everything except the sum of the values.
Also, area-shaded line graphs make absolutely no sense if you've only got a few data points.
Apparently, since manufacturers don't seem to be selling them. You can't even get one for electric resistance heating, where you'd think there'd be both a) motivation to keep the temperature from going too high above the target and b) the simplicity to make it almost trivial to install.
The "boomerang" aerobie is triangular. You can get a curve out of the ring-shaped ones, but it's not quite the same. You'd have to be incredibly skilled to get it to come back to you.
Also, the aerobie orbiter is much easier to throw than a real boomerang.
I was under the impression that unemployment was paid for by the "employers" (i.e. the employees don't see this part of their compensation on their paycheck), though i'll confess I don't really understand the system.
Where are you getting these savings from, though? It's well and good to slash everything by 20%, but since you're not proposing canceling those programs for idealogical reasons, you must have some reason why you believe they can accomplish the same goals with less funding.
They are smaller pages, though, and you get four per sheet from the fold. They do, however, need to be ever so slightly different sizes and loaded into the machine in a precise order.
So yeah, way more effort than it's worth, although I can see "reusable book" kits adding circa $300 to the cost of the already expensive printer.
Easier to get a NooKindleRS-505, probably more convenient, too. Unless you're a curmudgeon who needs to have something to turn, but still wants to enjoy electronic distribution of books.
Would take a *long* time to pay for itself at current book prices, though.
First of all, find one of these people who you think is following you and click on their profile. For example...
Wow, that is incredibly easy. All you need is a list of everyone on gmail, and you can finish the whole thing in less than a century of non-stop clicking!
eBooks: print out your ebook onto something somewhat resembling an actual book, with real pages!
Then, when you're done, feed the pages back into the printer and print another book. It might work if it had some kind of reversible binding process that wasn't too cumbersome.
Hmm, upon further reflection, I think you're right. I was going to say that in the domain I've used it, they're equivalent, but they're really not: the concepts are not two completely separate axes of possibilities; there are areas of overlap.
Orthogonal was definitely not quite the right word to use there.

The process they put in place for debating and amending seems to have worked out there. Why shouldn't it apply to everything where popular opinion disagrees with the formerly laid down rules for government?
They didn't. They did create a judiciary, but not as a separate, co-equal branch of government like the legislative and executive branches. The Marshall court carved out their extra powers using the "Marbury v. Madison" decision.
The final arbiters of constitutionality aren't the judges though. They're US. The people. It's just that there is violence involved, so we want to really be sure it's worth it. Otherwise we'd rather suffer, while the evils are sufferable.
No, plagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. They're related, but orthogonal. You can quote any amount of text and not be plagiarizing as long as it's quoted and attributed. Using whole pages might be copyright infringement, and there might be so little of your own work that it's not really a unique paper any more, but you're ok on plagiarism as long as you don't claim it's your own.
Yeah, "living document" was definitely a rhetorical fraud or at least a rhetorical mistake made at some point. The constitution is valueless if it can be simply interpreted into the mores and norms of whatever the current age happens to be rather than debated and amended into the modern age as the framers intended.
How long would it take to checksum every executable and library on a windows machine, anyway? What makes this something that can't take place on a regular or manually initiated basis?

Is it too much to ask for one science/learning channel that doesn't load up on psychics, ghosts, aliens, cryptozoology, and home-decorating shows?

there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in things like email.
You wouldn't think that expectation was so reasonable if you knew how email worked...

You made it further in than me. The sheer thickness of that work is daunting.

Ok, but there are still a number of problems that you *could* identify with regular checksumming, though aren't there?

Seems it matters how you tally the numbers. Apparently iPhone is the most used smartphone while Blackberry is the most bought smartphone.
That right there says something that is not particularly flattering to RIM.

Except during an election.
