Is this a technical answer based on the approximate size of a laptop battery or a comedic answer based on the catching on fire problems some recent laptop batteries have had?
I would've expected someone named 'Arson' to be a little brighter, or at least catch more quickly.
Not true. Talking on the phone is dangerous, but not talking to passengers. The reason for this is that passengers shut up or notice if something weird is going on, while someone talking on the phone with you will not. This creates a division of attention that slows reaction time, which is not present when talking to passengers.
By the way, if you are parents, PLEASE don't do this, it's a horrible way to punish a child. Keep in mind that it's a full abandonment feeling, which is about as bad as a kid can get. I still think about when my parents did that to me as a kid, and I personally still haven't forgiven them for it. I can't say the same for any other punishment at that time.
Actually, you're both wrong, the correct way to refer to an unknown person of undetermined sex is "he/she". "They" is incorrect, though it is commonly used, since it refers to a third-person plural.
What in the world are you talking about? "...mandate 24/7/365 registration and government surveillance of everybody's paychecks and commerce decisions"? The IRS already does this, it's not an invasion of privacy to report your income you crazy bastard.
Actually, they are a youth paramilitary organization, as I was told this by my RDC (Recruit Division Commander) in the Navy. You do actually get automatic promotions upon completion of boot camp if you have attained Eagle Scout.
...but let not forget to closely examine what our critics are proposing to replace our imperfect America with.
What the hell kind of a straw man argument is this? I don't think that anyone in the U.S. that is protesting Gitmo or Katrina's handling is actually advocating replacing them with SHARIA LAW! And this in a +5 insightful post!
I don't know how many people outside of Blighty would get this, but this is from the amazingly good BBC car show "Top Gear". Even if you aren't a car guy/gal, you owe it to yourself to give this show a watch.
Does it run hot when you do the same thing in Windows? I.e. have you run seti@home, BOINC, or something that maxes your cpu under windows? You say it runs at 55 deg Celcius without doing anything in Linux, is this with glxgears running, or does it get hotter?
Is it an AMD processor? If so, try out the powernowd package. I've had good luck with it in the past, but it sometimes requires some work to get it working correctly.
The math/logic goes wrong because the expected value of a switch is (X + 2X)/2, or 1.5X. However, the expected value of staying isn't X, since you don't know what is in the envelope you still have. Staying therefore has a probability of 1.5X, just the same as the other one.
I believe in this case that the extra energy gained from adding hydrogen and oxygen is actually because of combusting the fuel more completely. This also has the effect of reducing emissions. I remember reading an article about this a while ago.... aha, here we go: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Fuel_Efficiency_Hydrogen_Injection
Basically, the downside is increased complexity and cost, increased weight, and having to occasionally refill the water tank with highly pure water. There are real energy and emissions benefits to this, and it is being commercialized right now.
No, they were not terrorists, who by definition inflict harm on non-military targets in order to terrorize (get it?) a population. There was no terrorism involved in the American Revolution (as far as I know), unless the tarring-and-feathering was calculated to strike fear into the hearts of sympathizers.
Terrorism is NOT guerilla warfare, which there was plenty of then.
FWIW, I believe the term "assault rifle" comes from the German "Sturmgewehr", sometimes recognized as the first assault rifle.
Generally, I believe the assault rifle is a firearm that has barrel length (plus accuracy and muzzle velocity) close to a rifle, but is smaller and lighter, and has either an automatic-fire capability, an x-round burst mode, or both. However, IANAGE (gun expert)...

True enough. And I notice you didn't even get started on Jefferson...
The proper acronym is VPILF. That may be hard to pronounce now, but it's just a heartbeat away from PILF!
Nope, that's only if she and McCain win. Right now she's a RVPNILF. Which is even harder to pronounce than either of the above

I personally wish that they didn't die in the act.

BS. Ron Paul got higher than 5% and his existence was barely acknowledged.
Ron Paul was a Republican. Republicans got plenty of debate time.
Actually, that's not a pro-god post, that's an anti- (anti-god) post, which is not necessarily "for".

I'm sorry, but could you phrase that in the form of a 'car analogy'? I'm having trouble understanding you...
I think we need a new moderation option, '-1 modbait'.

Make it three. I've got that mustache feeling!
You can pack a lot of that sort of thing into six years of Evil Medical School.
