iPods have an onboard sound leveler. Part of the metadata that itunes puts in the file is the dB of the file, so the ipod can make a relative adjustment to the average volume.
I think it's called sound check(?) in the ipod settings... But they may have changed/moved it since my 3g was made.
Not true: Third Gen iPods can only be charged via firewire, but sync via either FW or USB. But they sure have a dock connecter. Heck, it's the model that introduced it.
You can ask my 40gb model in the other room if you don't believe me, heh.
Roughly, when you take a liquid from a environment that is under pressure, and transfer it to a vacuum, it gets really really cold, and kerblamo, instant solid form.
You're right, I did screw that up. I could have sworn that it was with two E's.
But either way, it was not so much a misspelling I was correcting, but an entirly incorrect statement. When any number prefixed with a 0 (zero), without a decimal place, such as 0034, 04 or 02, the zero doesn't hold any meaning, and these become 34, 4, and 2.(period)
Now, then, the difference between C02 (C zero two) and CO2 (C Oh 2). The first one, C02, since there is a zero there without a decimal, its meaning goes away, and we're left with just C2. I don't know about you, but i'd rather have fizz then carbon allotropes.
Don't even get me started on people who mix up CO2 and Co2, ugh...
While I do not have technical details to offer, I am in the STL net area, and at about 1:00-1:30 AM local time everything just went *KERBOOM*.
Random sites not working, huge times to get traffic back from the ones that did.
Yes, it was working, but very intermitantly.
This was connecting via charter cable, which routes all over the place, usually. Most things get sent to chicago, and I imagine they were having troubles as well.
In conclusion, St louis was having problems as well,;-)

Doesn't emacs still need a better text editor for the email requirement mentioned?
I hear it has a great movie scheduling and ticket ordering module, though.
Except that the entire actual job of the SMS is to park the drive when it's being moved about.

You just invoked Goodman's law. Sorry.

It is the pressure, or the lack of it, more specifically.

Do you really want to be told the answer to that? HINT: Think "Who, what, and where".
Gah, I knew someone would hit that point. Kudos.
Myself, I am not a programer, and I didn't want to spout off on something that I wasn't qualified to comment on.
That said, thanks for the extra info!
Good thing we don't have to spell things in octal using chemical suffuxes, or i'd never get those people to learn anything, hah!

Anyone who wants to be taken seriously about talking about chemicals in soda should know the difference between "C02" and CO2...

The engine doesn't really mind it, but the lubrication system typically HATES it.
:-D
The internal forces and pressures inside an engine are normally ignorant of external conditions, but keeping the oil in a open pan is quite a trick.
Aircraft engines are a good example of this, look up acrobatic engines, or inverted oil systems.
But I would love to see the myth put to the test,

>>Um, yeah. Water + Heat = H2 + O2.
Um, No?
Water + Heat != H2 + O2.
Water + Heat = Hot Water.
Water Heated to more then 100C = Steam.
However...
Water + ELECTRICITY = H2 + O.
Only with Hydrogen Peroxide + Electricity do you = H2 + O2
Actually, a fun one would be H2 + O + Heat, which we normally call rockets...
And actually (again), since oxygen is diatomic normally, you'd be working with 2H2 + O2.
Isn't chemistry *fun?!*
