it's not like the browser making the occurrences of a word a different color when you search for something. it sounds more like it modifies actual documents (like those on a network share) and modifies those documents before sending them back to to the user.
In accordance with the purpose of the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, a system highlights search terms in documents distributed over a network. The system generates a search query that includes a search term and, in response to the search query, receives a list of one or more references to documents in the network. The system receives selection of one of the references and retrieves a document that corresponds to the selected reference. The system then highlights the search term in the retrieved document.
In another implementation consistent with the present invention, a web browser includes instructions for obtaining a search term; instructions for generating a search query from the search term; and instructions for obtaining a list of one or more references to documents distributed over a network using the search query. The web browser further includes instructions for retrieving a document corresponding to one of the one or more references; instructions for highlighting each occurrence of the search term in the retrieved document; and instructions for displaying the highlighted document to a user
microbes (hell, even complex multi cellular organisms) THRIVE under incredibly hostile conditions right here on this planet. but it's "impossible" organisms eat arsenic because it's "poison"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent..... Although life is very sparse at these depths, black smokers are the center of entire ecosystems. Sunlight is nonexistent, so many organisms — such as archaea and extremophiles — convert the heat, methane, and sulfur compounds provided by black smokers into energy through a process called chemosynthesis...... A species of phototrophic bacterium has been found living near a black smoker off the coast of Mexico at a depth of 2,500 m (8,200 ft). No sunlight penetrates that far into the waters. Instead, the bacteria, part of the Chlorobiaceae family, use the faint glow from the black smoker for photosynthesis. This is the first organism discovered in nature to exclusively use a light other than sunlight for photosynthesis...... Other examples of the unique fauna who inhabit this ecosystem are scaly-foot gastropod Crysomallon squamiferum, a species of snail with a foot reinforced by scales made of iron and organic materials, and the Pompeii Worm Alvinella pompejana, which is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 80C (176F).
can you imagine the fish tank you'd need to sustain this life on the surface!? the surface of Mars has to be (marginally) more hospitable than this but "Compared to the surrounding sea floor, however, hydrothermal vent zones have a density of organisms 10,000 to 100,000 times greater."
this really isn't any different than inverting the Y axis in an FPS.. to some people, it just makes more sense.. it does to me in flight sims - push up to dive but not FPS push up to look up. it can't be too "abnormal" - most games ask you about it in the training level.

the difference between and earthquake, and not is how QUICKLY the energy is released.
think of it this way.. take X amount of energy and bend a piece of wood over 100 years. take that same amount of energy and apply it in 10 seconds. Over a hundred years, you'll end up with a bent piece of wood.. in 10 seconds, you get a snapped piece of wood. tectonic movement is slow bending, earthquakes are the snap. you don't notice a shift of an inch over 20 years, but in an earthquake, it's shifting FEET in SECONDS.. slow movement (release of energy) is not nearly as devastating or violent as a quick release.
the Hayward fault runs right though CAL Berkeley Stadium. every so often, over the course of years, there's a measurable movement (one side vs. the other).. see the pics. before you click on the link.. all that movement happened over ~hundred years (the stadium was built in 1922-23)
if there was a major quake on that fault.. row 5 on one side of the fault would match row 6 on the other.
we all know the Bay Area is a hotbed of earthquake activitity because of sublte signs like the last 2 pics on the link.. apparently, there was no such "creep" on the Midwestern Fault - so they weren't expecting an earthquake.

But honestly Monica, the web is considered "public domain" and you should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are aware of, especially on college campuses, and the workplace. If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally. Now it will work well for your portfolio. For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain, albeit for such a fine (and very wealthy!) institution. We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me! I never charge young writers for advice or rewriting poorly written pieces, and have many who write for me... ALWAYS for free!"
this would have never made it to MSM if she simply said "sorry, we'll take it down immediately." six. simple. words.
she brought this on herself with that response. good riddance.

cheats/mods/bootlegs are less prevalent on consoles than PCs.. besides, bnet is the only way to play co-op with your blizzard friends.. who knows? maybe the'll come up with a way to let you continue your save from multiple platforms (I can play my WoW toons from any computer running the "client")
@Jartan - imagine.. a code comes with the game.. it's tied to your console or account - so reselling the game is useless.. they already do this with full DLC titles.. you can't transfer those purchases to another user... so yeah, you'd have to activate your console copy just like you do on a PC. WoW disks are useless w/o an activation code.. so you could resell the disc, but the next buyer would have to buy a new code. WoW encourages you to give the discs to others.. there are usually a couple demo passes in the box for that reason.
XBL and Steam are direct competitors.. you can buy titles on both, so I can under stand why MS had a problem with it. bnet, on the other hand, is mostly just an authentication/social service.
bu they don't FORCE you watch. you can fired up the disc and walk away. now you COULD have to enter a "code" to get to the disc menu... how long before the build an on screen keyboard into BluRay so you can get past the captcha?
By dispensing the drink into a collapsible bag inside the bottle, the pressure around the fluid can be constantly controlled, thus preventing the carbonation from coming out of solution too quickly.

Similar technology should prove effective for carbonated space beers. Unfortunately it doesn't lend itself to the traditional frosty glass mug! Instead, beverages are dispensed into a special bottle (pictured above) that screws onto the dispenser. The bottle itself, which contains a collapsible bag, is internally pressurized. The pressure around the bag is slowly released as the beverage enters, maintaining the drink under constant pressure and producing a palatable soda or beer.
