Li-Ion batteries don't explode because of the stored energy, they explode because lithium is a very volatile metal. Didn't you ever see a piece of lithium thrown in water in high school?
When you vaporize something you're breaking it down into its most basic components - elements
No you don't. Vaporisation means to heat it to the point that it becomes a gas; there are no chemical reactions involved in that. At the temperatures involved, however, practically everything will combust to some extent; that is where the CO_2 comes from.
US$63M could be put to much better use than a single school with a small number of students. Why not ditch wasteful things like smart-card activated lockers, digital whiteboards, etc. etc. and build two schools? My school seems to do reasonably well without things like that.

Life isn't fair, and if you're saying that it's a bad thing that these kids get to go to a school that's well funded just because some other kids don't, then we might as well just implement communism, pool all our resources together, and distribute them evenly among everybody
It's hardly an unreasonable stance to suggest that adequate funding for all of the schools is better than underfunding the majority and overfunding a minority.
How much swap you use is irrelevant; pages are put into swap so that when everything goes to hell you're not waiting for large amounts of memory to get moved over. The behaviour that you have described is correct, provided it isn't getting the data from swap instead of RAM.
My understanding is that the username and password is used to get a ticket from a ticket server, which is then presented to the service which is accessed by the user. But then again, I have never put this into practice, so I cannot be sure.
Any non-citizens who accomplish said goal better be in a non-extraditing country, and making no future plans for travel within the US's boarders.
Even Australia isn't willing to take things that far, and our government has had a tendency to sell out the US quite a bit. For an extradition treaty to allow someone to be sent to the US for trial, they must have been in the United States when the crime is committed. Working via the internet can be considered committing the crime over there though in some cases though. Even that kicked up quite a fuss when it was used a while back.
We've never had fair use laws. Technically its illegal to even time shift here (though it's rarely policed, you wouldn't want to annoy anyone in power if you taped TV shows).
Those are actually on the way now, or at least I believe so. You're right about the rest of it though.
In SA, now that Labor has a lower-house majority, they're considering a referendum to try to ditch the upper house. Hilarity will ensue if that gets through.
We take the time to build footpaths rather than telling people not to walk. Taking the vaccine does not cause problems for others like stopping people from driving would.
As the previous poster said, you were lucky you didn't end up needing a liver transplant. Can't you get anything with Codeine in the UK? For reasonable amounts of pain you're much more likely to actually stop it without destroying your liver.
It's my suggestion that without many exceptions, teens are unable to exercise appropriate self-control with cell phones.
I, for one, disagree with that statement. From my experience, almost everyone over the age of thirteen is able to use a mobile phone responsibly. But then again, I'm not from the United States; perhaps things are significantly different in Australia.

The only exceptions to this are a few countries like England and Australia, which most Americans think of a funny sidekicks to Uncle Sam, as long as they know their place and don't start getting uppity.
If that is the case, they must not have met any of the Australian people.
As much as it pains me, I have to agree on this point (but make it Australia, not USA).
At my school they are generally used as a reasearch tool, and a typewriter. From my experience it works well enough, although I doubt it would work very well as the sole method of teaching; it seems that you are talking about using them as the sole delivery method. If static text worked, we'd all just learn from textbooks rather than with teachers.

And you cannot deny that there is less hassel and better support from microsoft if you have a "genuine" windows license for your windows software.
Yes I can. I don't have to go through activation.
Must have spread...my grandfather has a sign with that on (in Australia).

If the RIAA did it, then it would be legal.
Which university, just out of curiosity? Are any of these available to the public?
Smoking, overly large amounts of alcohol, medical studies.
Or you could just donate your organs.

You don't need to buy new iPods anywhere near as often as you need to buy textbooks however.

I assume you mean AES or something along those lines...RSA is generally used with keys of at least 1024 bits.
16km/h over the limit is a minor detail?
While the GP is an idiot, 16km/h is hardly a small amount over the limit on flat ground.
Most Christians are waiting in hope for an AIDS virus so that all those people won't need to suffer and die. He is just an asshat.

No, you're not allowed to change the new version so that it is impossible to use modified clients with it. That is all.
