Correct, the OP did not mention Google. But every reply after the OP was specifically mentioning Google. And reading the first reply after the OP, I thought they were specifically saying that Google has a lot of answers directly in the search results which resulted in not as many click-throughs. I inferred (perhaps incorrectly) that they were saying that's why Google's numbers were supposedly lower than Bing, and I thought they may not know that Bing has similar summaries. Then every reply after that specifically mentioned Google, which reinforced the inferrence.
I was only saying that Bing also has similar results along with Google, meant to be purely informational.
But yes, the metric of click-throughs is really stupid.
My point is that Bing also has the same functionality. So when there were no Google click-throughs, there may very well have been no Bing click-through either.
Since it was published before 1923, it's already in the public domain. See the footnote at the bottom of the wikisource page for the poem, and then you can follow the links from there if you care to read more.
You're off by a little bit. According to Wikipedia, summing up South America, Central America, Caribbean, Cuba, and Mexico, there are a total of 451,655,584 Catholics out of 1,082,368,942 worldwide. So it's about 41% of the Catholic population that are in the Americas (excluding Canada and US). Even if you include the US and Canada (539,745,532 total), it's just under half of the total worldwide population of Catholics (49.93%).
Agree with your original post. As part of my CS major, I took enough math classes to qualify for a Math minor. However, my school did not allow a Math minor for CS, because those classes were required. Any OTHER major taking those math classes would have gotten a math minor (even EE or Computer Engineering!). 3 more elective math classes, and I could have also majored in Math. That's far beyond "basic college-level math". Nearly all of it was completely useless for what I do.
I thought the classes were useless then, and I still think they were useless. Who knows, maybe in 15 years I'll suddenly decide to pursue something that would require that math. But I've forgotten almost everything I "learned" in those classes, so I'll just have to relearn it.
Yeah.:) The biggest problem is a lot of bikes have a safety feature that shut off the engine if the bike is in gear with the kick stand down (even if the clutch is pressed in). So remember to shift into neutral first, or you'll be restarting once the light is green.:)
They put it in the first damn amendment, without which the Constitution would not have passed.
The first amendment was an... amendment. The Constitution had already passed and was adopted on September 17, 1787. The first amendment was ratified on September 25, 1789 (2 years after the Constitution was in full force). So yes, the Constitution would have passed without the first amendment, and indeed it did.
Avatar was flawless? Far from it. There were way too many scenes where the foreground was in focus but the background was out of focus. If it was "flawless", then I would expect that everything would be in focus so that _I_ can choose where to look, instead of just what the director wanted me to look at.
There is some loss in the system, however, and the technology being standardized is only about 70 percent efficient, Treffers said, meaning it is not a particularly green way to charge devices.
Google Earth is over 10MB (I don't know the size, I just know I had to use wifi instead of 3G). Also, if you get any of the navigation programs like Navigon or TomTom, which contain all of the maps locally, you run into the problem. (People who frequently go into areas with bad 3G coverage may want an app that has map data locally -- otherwise no signal means no navigation.)
I am not incorrect, I meant exactly what I said. Of course you are free to get as many plans as you want. I, however, *WANTED* a family plan. I *WANTED* to share minutes. I did *NOT* want data on the second line. Those were my requirements, and Sprint did not meet them. As I originally state (please re-read carefully. I've even bolded some things to clear it up):
What I wanted was to get my girlfriend on a family plan with me, and I wanted the Pre. She just wanted a free phone that could do some simple SMS messaging. She did not have any use for a data plan, smart phone, etc... But Sprint requires that on a family plan, if one phone has data, they all have to.
I was a Sprint customer since 2001, and seriously considered getting the Palm Pre. I played around with it for about 20 minutes in the Sprint store, and then talked to the salesman about it. What I wanted was to get my girlfriend on a family plan with me, and I wanted the Pre. She just wanted a free phone that could do some simple SMS messaging. She did not have any use for a data plan, smart phone, etc... But Sprint requires that on a family plan, if one phone has data, they all have to. That's another $25/mo for something that she did not need!
I told them that AT&T would let me get an iPhone with a data plan and another phone without data, and on the same family plan. The salesman said that with Sprint, that is the requirement. I told him that's fine with me, I'm going to AT&T. I switched to AT&T and got an iPhone, and haven't looked back. Sprint is the one screwing themselves and their partners (Palm) here.
While meteorologists are trying to work with wind farm owners to shut off the turbines during bad weather
I must really be missing something -- it seems to me that during bad weather, these wind farms could really be craking out the electricity! Why would the wind farms _want_ to shut down during those times?
If you haven't already, go to a neck doctor and have them look for pressure on your spinal cord. Your spine being out of place in that area can cause all sorts of side effects, one of them being constant nausea.

And it's in the summary for the same page in Bing, at the 5th position. You can see the two searches side-by-side.
I bet the tides will come in and out, too.

You're probably talking about the dude that discovered DNA, Dr Watson. He's made some interesting comments that many people have taken offense to.

They do. At least the preview shows it working.

One recommendation is to put the kickstand down directly on the sensor. I've never tried it, but supposedly it works.

Because in May 2005, Lisa Brummel became the Senior Vice President of Human Resources. She's openly lesbian.

Instead of swapping the battery out of an iPhone, you can always get an external add-on battery.
