Why'd you remove Google as your default search function? And then again why were you swayed by something that is only speculation to put it back, if you feel strongly enough about it to have removed it in the first place?
Hell yes, I'll buy a cheap DS. The regular DS is almost too small for me. It cramps my hands to play it for any more than 20-30 minutes at a time. It fits in any of my pockets just fine as well.
I haven't missed your point, that I know of. I only used water-ice as an example. I meant as a generalization that calling something frozen-liquid indicates that as something useful to humans, it's generally a liquid. If it were frozen methane, we might use it as a refuelling station for example. I would imagine that's the primary reason for searching for other Earth-like planets, is to either move there someday or look for life similar to our own.
Yes, it is geo-centric, because I live here! Why would I think of it in a non geo-centric way? That does me no good at all. Thinking of it based on being a Human means "Hmm, this is frozen liquid, if it were water, I might melt some, and have a drink if I happened to land a colony there in the future" rather than the non-geo centric view of "It's just another boring solid planet". If I were thinking about earth from a molten-lava-people centric view, I might say it's a frozen liquid planet, because that's what's important to me.
I think it was meant to specify a solid that under "ordinary" earth circumstances would be a liquid. If you were talking about a planet covered in water-ice, it seems more relevant to say it is a frozen liquid, rather than just a normal, solid planet. Same with the moon of Titan. It is mostly covered by solids, but expanding that to frozen liquid methane is much more interesting. Doesn't that make more sense?
"How can we prove there is life on a distant planet when we have problems seeing if there is life on Mars?"
So, by all means, let's just stop looking then. That's the easy solution. Seriously though, I hate when people think like this. Maybe by looking out into deep space, we'll discover some new method for easily detecting life which we can then apply to Mars. That is unlikely, but still, science is about exploring, not just throwing down the hat at something silly like a problem that we can't quite answer yet.
Whomever said that hopefully isn't a scientist and/or working on this project.
It wouldn't work too well _now_. But I imagine that tattoos or piercings (outside of the realm of pirates) were socially just as strange 100 years ago as rainbow-skin would be today. Society changes, and lots of things can change quickly these days.
It can be disproved with logic, because it is illogical that something that by it's very definition cannot be learned of (god) would exist. The flying spaghetti monster, the easter bunny, and santa claus have just as much credibility as the christian god, or any god.
Also, I think that under the metal heat-spreaders on some CPUs, there is a similar waxy substance that in addition to helping temperatures with the phase-changing also helps keep a more reliable contact surface between the heatsink and the CPU die.
You don't really need AO when you're in orbit anyway, because there's no atmosphere to distort the image in the first place. Lugging an AO setup into space would be redundant.
I've had mine for more than a year now, still with the original stylus, though I am thinking of using one of the 4 new ones I have, just so I don't scratch the touchscreen.
The longest Swedish word is: NORDÖSTERSJÖKUSTARTILLERIFLYGSPANINGSSIMULATORANLÄ GGNINGSMATERIELUNDERHÅLLSUPPFÖLJNINGSSYSTEMDISKUSS IONSINLÄGGSFÖRBEREDELSEARBETEN, meaning "preparatory work on the contribution to the discussion on the maintaining system of support of the material of the aviation survey simulator device within the north-east part of the coast artillery of the Baltic"
Everything seems like it's "nanotech this" "nanotech that" these days... It seems like "nano" stuff in microchips should already be here. Marketspeak = the big let down.
The x86 server market loves stuff like this (maybe not the top-of-the-line-expensive, but in general I mean really hardcore $1000+ CPUs). A business I help just placed an order for an 8-way opteron dual-core (16 cores), and they really need it.
Most of the command-line stuff is just shortened abbreviations of things. You can also always just make a "shortcut" that's named whatever you want if you need arbitrary names for things. It doesn't really raise a good point at all, things have names made by the people who made them.
Another article I read about the genesis probe said it hit the ground at around 400 mph, which sounds a lot more likely for a multi-hundred pound spacecraft the size of a small go-kart.
Is there a difference in legality from changing the price of a stock directly or indirectly? What about the validity of the comments made about said company? Could you say that a company sucked if they indeed did, even if you stood to profit from that? I'm unfamiliar with how it all works.

It isn't a giant, gaseous fireball, with gravity that crushes everything into minute particles.
But the Spaaace Meat was too expensive to make, so McMeaty Burgers are now made of sawdust

I hope that fluorescence doesn't last long.
It lasts as long as they live. The green isn't just a dye or ink, it's the actual color of their skin! Their skin _is_ green, it's not dyed green.

You might also worry about the effects of windmills on the global wind patterns... It's just not enough to make a difference.

You're probably thinking of the exact same article :)

I usually just click on "actions" -> "shutdown" to do that, your way works too though.

Definitely. There just aren't enough eyes on the sky to see in all directions for incoming threats.
