"18 million per CD per month" would equal "18 million months per CD". If the plant took that long to make a CD, I can understand why they're closing it.
I've gotten this ad twice in the last two days, using Firefox with Adblock Plus and pop-up blocking. This is the line in the nytimes.com article that was responsible the second time:
That loads a page from tradeon.com, which loads a javascript file from harlingens.com which uses a JavaScript redirect to sex-and-the-city.cn. That page sets a cookie and does an HTTP 302 redirect to protection-check07. (Last time it was best-antivirus07.com)
Apparently Adblock isn't blocking the particular iframe that's responsible. I have the particular files I received in this series of redirects, if anyone is interested. I got all this information using the HttpFox plugin.
I wish I had mod points. The parent's post is pretty well on topic. My first reaction to the grandparent's post was that "Noone" was an intentional typo, since it was replying to a post about a typo. Now I'm not so sure.
OK, now I'm replying to a post about a typo that was in another post about a typo. I hope my post doesn't have any typos...
From the article, it sounded like the girl was asked to remove her own clothing, while two female teachers looked for the drugs. In any case, strip searching a kid over ibuprofen is inexcusable. If they suspected her of carrying something else like meth, they should have just called the police and taken her to the principle's office and kept an eye on her in the meantime. But ibuprofen? If it's violating school policy, tell her so and maybe give her detention, but other than that, just let her go.
The housewife simply determines in advance her menus for the week, then slips prepackaged meals into the freezer and lets the automatic food utility do the rest.
We have those -- they're called microwaveable TV dinners, and they taste terrible. The future isn't all it was cracked up to be.
Fortran isn't obsolete. It's still popular in particle physics.
Also, "buying an HD-DVD" is on the list. Not that that was ever a "skill." This list is just begging to be filled with joke entries like that.
Did anyone else wonder after reading the headline whether this news had to do with Georgia the country or Georgia the US state? Maybe I'm just not US-centric enough.
Well, in the case of the Earth and the moon, it's not so hard to decide who's "really" orbiting the other one, because the Earth is considerably larger than the moon. But you have a good point: what if the moon were the same size as the Earth? Would we have a binary planet orbiting the sun? What about Charon and Pluto? Charon is so big compared to Pluto, you might call it a binary planet system. It's pretty hard to avoid arbitrary definitions here. I think I'll just wait until September and let someone else tell me what counts as a planet.
What makes Pluto's size so special? Without making Pluto the arbitrary cutoff size for a planet, where is the cutoff? Depending on where you put it, there could be hundreds of "planets" in the kupier belt.
That would make a whole lot of planets, for one thing, and how do you define spherical? Earth isn't strictly spherical -- it has a bulge around the equator because of its rotation. In any case, I'd say that a planet has to be orbiting a star to count. If, for example, Earth orbited Jupiter, I would call it a very large moon of Jupiter. If Earth weren't orbiting anything, I wouldn't be sure what to call it... A big rock drifting in space, I guess.
For the nuclear fusion criterion, there is fusion going on inside the Earth's core. I don't remember whether it's fusion or fission, but we might need to be a little more specific than that to differentiate a very large gas giant from a star.
You can find more information about this research at Podolskiy's web page. It looks like the web site has some good information, including Java applets showing how a superlens should work.
Incidently, I am an undergrad physics student at OSU and I talked to Poldolskiy about doing some research for him last summer, but it didn't work out. It's nice to see he got something published on this though - he was explaining it to me last year but I can't remember much of it now.
In my sense of aesthetics, text based interfaces always look better. My desktop has no graphics anywhere (well, that's a lie - I do have xsnow running but I still prefer mostly everything to be text based). One of my favorite "desktop themes" is the command line.

The press release is from March 29. A company acting kind of sensibly? Here's hoping it's true.

I meant "there are nuclear reactions going on inside the Earth's core" rather than fusion. Like I said, I can't remember if it's fusion or fission.

Maybe you're talking about Coke from Holland available at this store in Scottsdale, AZ?
