No one is saying or has ever said that higher temperatures and levels of CO2 are bad for life in general. They are bad for how humans currently have their civilizations arranged.
Diff'rent strokes. I use multiple computers and multiple OSes. I don't want to have to train it on each and still rely on the vagaries of Awesome Bar voodoo--which is easily confused if you browse to a *different* URL a couple of times after typing in the same string. For the websites where I care enough to want to just type a letter or a shortcut to have it load (on the computers that belong to me), I have bookmarks with a keyword set, and I can just sync them or set them everywhere or whatever.
As for www--a couple of things. Sometimes domain.tld does not work if you neglect adding it, or it takes you somewhere different. I guess that happens less frequently these days, but it's a habit to make sure. More apropos, in sane URL bars that look for an exact match of your input, www.blah pretty much forces it to display exactly what I want as the first option. The Awesome Bar more or less randomly ignores the www. part when it goes scouring the database, though, so yeah typing it's pretty useless in FF.
That inconsistency is part of the trouble with the awesome bar. I don't go to Accuweather too often, but I've been there in the last couple of weeks. If I type in 'ac' or 'www.ac', my options are, in order:
I find this asinine, but some people like it. That's fine. Give me the option to have something sane and consistent. As someone else mentioned elsewhere, if they would just put the items with exact matches at the beginning of the domain first on the list (or give the option for it), it would help a lot. Then they'd just have to work on how slow it is.
That is not what that option does. All of those youtube and otherwise-unrelated URLs are not coming from my bookmarks. They are coming from my history. The awesome bar uses some magic to compare the string you've typed to *any character string* in any URL anywhere ever in your history. It doesn't do the sensible thing, which is *first* look for an exact match at the beginning of the URL. This is the sane way in which URL bars traditionally work.
In my experience, FF4 is far worse than FF3 when loading multiple pages at once (as at startup). If this is due to everything slamming the DB, that's not improved.
This is not a solution for the people that just want it to behave like URL bars always have in the past. Normal URL bar behavior: I have visited the page www.slashdot.org many times in the past. I hit ctrl-L, www.sl, and www.slashdot.org is presented as the first option in the drop down menu. That is, it goes through the URL bar history to find something matching what I just typed. Awesome bar behavior: I type www.sl... and I get fifteen youtube URLs, and then slashdot at the very bottom. This is an extreme example, but a common occurrence. (Not necessarily with/. per se, but with many other websites).
This doesn't apply to people that are starving or otherwise malnourished. This is assuming a *balanced* calorie restricted diet. You still need the fats, proteins, carbs, vitamins, minerals. Just fewer calories.
It is pretty widely understood that a calorie-restricted diet (something like 30% fewer calories than the RDA, for humans) makes *any* animal live significantly longer and with fewer health problems. It's worked for everything it's been tested on. There have been some short-term studies on humans, but I'm not sure if there are any long-term ones.
But 'eat so much less that you're always hungry' is not an acceptable diet plan. We all just want to eat something *extra*, or take a pill, to fix it. I know I can't do the calorie-restricted thing.
I'm desperately wanting them to pen an HBO deal before A Game of Thrones airs, but I think HBO's come out and flatly said that they don't want to make friends with Netflix or Hulu.

I'm a pretty techy person, and I don't think I'd recognize the Android robot. I actually had to just go Google it to see what you're talking about--I don't think I've ever even seen or noticed it before.
You take the number of inverse femtobarns ( units of 1/area ) times the cross-section of the interaction/particle/whatever that you're looking for (which varies with energy) to get the total number events that you should see. So, inverse femtobarn is a good unit for amount-of-data-collected.

That's the new hardware rendering, using your video card. Disable that and your fonts will look purdy again.
It's actually been done with other primates as well.

You're right, of course. I was omitting the caveat "with perfect efficiency".

I've seen it at every airport that I've been to in the last year. IAD, ORD, NRT, MSP, SFO, CVG, LAX...
