In her statement a frame of reference for measuring the mentioned timespan wasn't specified. Since we don't know the frame of reference, we cannot decide if the timespan is wrong or right. I don't know how you get the idea that the frame of reference is identical with that of the traveller ("you").
The important part is "it would take 4.2 years to get there." That's not "it would take you 4.2 years to get there." Only time was specified, the observer's missing.
Martial arts training usually comes with lessons on how to prevent violence. All dojos i know employ a policy where students getting into brawls will get expelled.
"Oh well this could maybe hypothetically desensitize people and cause problems, etc, etc." K, but that doesn't fit the actual data that violent crimes in the US have been trending down since around the time that videogames came out.
Correlation isn't causation. And violent crime != violent behaviour. Furthermore you would first have to prove that aggressive/violent behaviour incited by consumation of violent video games/media (VVG/M) causes more violent crime before demanding that studies concerned only with increased aggressive/violent behaviour through VVG/M should first explain this correlation of yours.
A CEO is looking for a new CFO for his company. He invites an engineer, a mathematician and a statistician for a group interview. The CEO asks, "How much is two plus two?" The engineer pulls out his calculator, punches it in, and says, "Four!"
The mathematician goes to the whiteboard, and scribbles down a proof, and says, "This proves that two plus two is solvable!"
The statistician, leans forward to the CEO, and whispers, "How much do you want two plus two to be?"
Beeing of age 5 at this time and living in bavaria, I remember that my parents didn't allow me to play outside (government recommendation) and dairy farmers weren't allowed to sell their milk for quite some time.
If you ever wondered why nuclear energy isn't that popular in europe - that's the most likely reason.
My Pineview Netbook is a new machine, you insensitive clod. And it composites just fine. But no OpenGL 3.0. Though, that's exactly a move that would fit the KDE projects policy regarding users.

He(?) didn't specify a reference frame for this 4.2 years.

The fact they are still using Windows and crying poor does surprise me, though.
AFAICS MSDNAA is dirt cheap.
The Internet is like a (min-)heap: the biggest crap always lays on top. Good luck reaching the leafs before you give up, disgusted. ;)

Yes, it should.

There, fixed that for you.
Goes to show you really can't take any of these findings seriously.
No. TFA is about market share in Europe - yours is about worldwide market share.
I don't think it's really making history, considering Opera has always had up to 50% market share in CIS countries.
ITYM "over 50% market share"[0]. According to your source, Opera has only over 50% in Belarus. If this was always so isn't mentioned in your article.
[0] otherwise: Opera had up to 50% market share since it's release. Just like FF. Worldwide.

Or the consumer to adequately ventilate their case.
Or proper engineering of a cooling system. That's what safety margins ought to be for.
Doesn't even contain a link to the project in question.
You know what REALLY pisses me off? I, as an individual, get close to ZERO subsidies! Where's my $40 billion? I demand equal treatment!
Without subsidies your electricity bill would be larger.
But science fiction is not to be outdone, a few years back I read "Pushing Ice"by Alastair Reynolds. They had femto-tech.
Really? Must have forgotten that. I mostly remember those networked slates that used distributed computing.
That's what she said.
Unfortunately my new netbook with an Intel NM10 chipset can only handle OpenGL 1.5.

Still sounds better than their translations to german: "Dazzlement", "Perdition" and "Absolution".
When you distribute "burden", you're distributing wealth. Whether or not you call it "taking" money or "giving" money, it's still a redistribution.
So from your point of view, air pollution is distribution of wealth?
After all, the Earth has been warming globally for over WELL OVER 10,000 years during the time the last Ice Age receeded until the present.
You sure about that? Figure 1-3
