Assuming this is a real calculation, does this include slowing down at Mars without killing the people on the spaceship, or is it just 1/2G to *get* to Mars in 1 week?
With Live, you can pick different angles (north, south, east, west), and if you pan around, you may be taken to any one of overlapping pictures. Try panning around for a while. You'll notice that once you get to the edge of one picture, the entire screen goes black for a second before taking you into a completely separate picture. Since the pictures overlap, you might not notice you are in a new picture. Try loading up IE, loading up that link, then pan around until the screen flashes black. Go back to the sub, and you may be looking at a different, perhaps better, perhaps worse, picture of it.
I'm like you and also averaged around 30 minutes a month on my phone. I had a 300 minutes / 30$ plan, or something like that, but never, ever used the 300 minutes. Also, after various taxes and such the 30$/month plan turned into more like 40$ a month. I switched to prepaid, and now pay 10 cents a minute I'm on the phone, and have cut my monthly cost down to about 15$ a month. If you truly use less than 30 minutes a month, and don't need some other feature that requires a plan, you should consider switching to prepaid.
Every computer I can think of from ten years ago had one of those little "Warranty Void If Broken" stickers on the case. I can't think of a single machine I've seen in the past several years that has one of these stickers.
I think companies are more open now to users installing new hardware (note that I have not looked up Gateway's policy)
My Warcraft II orcs couldn't find their way around a 2-tile big forest.
My Terran Marines, however, could find their around lots of stuff. But, obviously the marines are from the future, where this technology is better.
6 months ago, when gas was 3$/gal and the local gas station mis-priced 2$, checking with the underpaid guy inside came up with the response, "Well, I guess you got a good deal."
I've been able to mute individuals in Half-Life ever since they incorporated voice chat into it....
I haven't played for years, but if I remember correctly, it involved bringing up the score sheet and clicking the little speaker next to each persons name that you wanted to mute.
It was a hassle to use (surprising, since it it Google's), took forever, didn't save any money, and my packages were evidently handled and delivered by the lowest bidder. Heck, they didn't even make it to my block (a guy three blocks down was nice enough to hand deliver them after they misdelivered them).
I went ahead and highlighted for you the issues that have anything to do with being Google's fault.
It's a payment system. It is meant to help you pay for things online. It is not meant to save you money, and Google has nothing to do with your poor experience with the merchant. They just handled the money transaction.
Yes, they are, but as the poter mentioned, they are not entirely Google... well, at least Earth isn't. I used to use Keyhole before Google bought it. However, I think that Maps is Google, but I could be wrong.

I think you are confusing line speed with net neutrality.
You are saying 'If I pay more, I get a connection that is faster. The 3MB line can download files and webpages at 3x the speed the 1MB line can.'
Net-Neutrality is more like, "You pay for a 3MB line. You can download Google at 3MB, Yahoo at 512k, some files at 3MB, some at 1MB, not dependant on your line speed, or the other end's line speed, but the QOS your ISP is putting on the packets. It is basically putting artificial limits on some traffic (such as web pages or file downloads) to allow other traffic better speeds (such as VOIP), but would be easy to abuse, to say, let Company A who paid more than Company B have better download speeds.
The body uses electrical impulses to 'fire' muscles, to make them move. Developing a tolerance for low levels of electricity would be like developing a tolerance for your body's own electrical functions. When you get shocked/tazed, the electricity sent through your body causes your muscles to 'fire', just like when your brain sends the impulses to them. This causes the spasming and loss of control.
The way I see it, if you were immune to electric shock, your body would not be able to convince your muscles to move.
Of course, that's just my guess. Take it with a grain of salt.
Now, there are 150,000+ virii for Windows. So, if your argument holds water, then Mac's should have a paltry 5% of that sorta figure, or at least 1% (taking into account scaling issues and cascade thresholds). Sadly for you, there's not 1,500 Mac virii. Not even 150 (.1%).
You are ignoring the profit-motive of virii. If it's more profitable to make a Windows virus, why even bother with the 5% of Mac users? Even if it weren't more difficult to make a virus that affected Mac OSX, there still wouldn't be 5% of the Windows virii... the only ones there would be are the ones made as proof-of-concept or just for attention, none of the profit-driven ones that make up a large percent of Windows malware.
I'm not saying I disagree with everything you say, I'm just saying I believe your use of percentages in this case is very flawed.
I can only hope that every Bush voter has a friend or loved one maimed, murdered, or mutilated by the violence Bush stirred up in the Middle East with this unneeded war.
That's not very nice at all. I didn't vote for Bush, but I have friends that do. Thus, I am a friend of someone who voted for Bush... why do you want me dead?
The reason no one answered the question is because the question was meant more to make a point then to find out what 'pwned' meant. You can tell he knows what it means because he references AOL chatrooms.
1. To be passed on or transferred to another: The burden of proof devolved upon the defendant. The estate devolved to an unlikely heir. 2. To degenerate or deteriorate gradually: After several hours the discussion had devolved into a shouting match.
Makes sense to me. And if you want to try to be a grammar Nazi, spell check first.
Happily for me, wireless worked out of the box in Ubuntu. However, I am sure this is not the case for every brand of wireless card.
However, I personally prefer Windows because it has the programs I already know, and I don't see any *need* to switch completely over.

I think things have changed a little in 10 years.

Parent *may* be thinking of PDF printers... not quite sure. They can surely be had for under 1000$, but they do cost more than the PS printers.

A 24-hour DDOS instead of a 24 minute one.
My completely uneducated guess would be that:

Developing a tolerance for low levels of electricity would be like developing a tolerance for your body's own electrical functions. When you get shocked/tazed, the electricity sent through your body causes your muscles to 'fire', just like when your brain sends the impulses to them. This causes the spasming and loss of control.

99% may claim to use Linux, but I guarantee you that 99% is not even close to the true figure.
I think if the Declaration of Independence really looked that leet, youths would pride themselves on knowing it.

How about sending SIGTSTP/SIGCONT to processes?
Process Explorer, freeware from Sysinternals, can suspend/resume processes in Windows.
How so?
Firefox doesn't help if the OS doesn't let you load it up.
