I think he totally made those numbers up. If anything, he's not taking into account arterial and venous blood pressure.
But no, you're not thinking of it correctly. Your blood will absolutely bubble violently throughout your body if you are saturated with gas at, say, 100 feet under water and pop right up to the surface. Your body is, except for the lungs, entirely uncompressible liquid. If you drop the absolute pressure enough, then, yes, the liquid will release its gases. And the water itself may boil.
Hate to break it to you, but you're bathed in much more than a few millitwatts of EM every second of every day.
Think about the 50,000 watt AM antenna you drive by on the way to work. The hundreds of multiple-watt in-use cell phones you walk by every day. The Wi-Fi in your office and your local Starbucks.
You're bathed in all sorts of EM radiation all the time. You can't get away from it.
That's true for MySpace, but not for Facebook. Sounds like you're basing your opinion on Facebook on MySpace.
Go check out Facebook. You might be surprised. Virtually everyone I know with a computer uses Facebook - more than half of my friends on FB are over 25.
Well virtually every cubic centimeter on the planet already contains some form of life already. Chances are a random collection of amino acids, phosphates, and maybe even a base sugar or two that could have eventually possibly evolved into a totally new life form before life existed will actually just get swallowed up by a passing bacterium or amoeba today.
"With that view, it would be a tad harder for the fabrication portion of the business to attract design companies, with prospective companies knowing they are putting their manufacturing capabilities in the hands of a company that would be both partner and competitor."
Well that's the idea here. By spinning off fabrication into its own company, other chip designers wouldn't be putting their ideas in the hands of a competitor.
I put my computer to sleep and my Kill-A-Watt says it's using about 4 watts. No fans are on. No hard drives are on. And it wakes up from this 4-watt sleep in about 4 seconds, compared to 15-20 for hibernate.
There are different sleep states. Sounds like you're only familiar with S1.
FWIW, I just opened a similar document in Foxit and Adobe Reader simultaneously and they look almost identical. Nothing like the link. Foxit's actually a little sharper and clearer.
I've been using Foxit exclusively for some time now.
There's nothing about Adobe Reader that I miss. Foxit seems to handle everything I come across just fine. And it's way faster and never crashes. Adobe Reader seemed to crash on me all the time on multiple machines.
I guess you're not quite up to date with iTunes and iPods.
My girlfriend recently switched to a new laptop. She plugged her iPod in and it informed her that there were purchased tracks on it, and whether she would like to transfer them to iTunes. iTunes copied them right over.
I recently somehow lost a few tracks I had downloaded and didn't have on an iPod. I clicked "check for downloads" and it redownloaded the songs I had lost with no further ado.
The things are sick. Way, way cooler and more usable than any other similar device on the market.
I was playing with an app called "Level." It's just what it says it is - a leveling device. It's accurate to a tenth of a degree. It's ingenious.
And another called "Shazam." You hit the "tag" button, and it records about 10 seconds of whatever song is playing in your vicinity. Then it looks up the song in a database and tells you the artist and song title.
How cool is that? I know of no other device on the market that can duplicate this functionality, let alone the usability.
The interface is stellar. And there are tons of other impressively cool apps out there. And it's an iPod. And it does the "phone" thing very well. Just look at how it handles voicemail.

Microsoft doesn't make the hardware you install Windows on.
Apple makes the hardware you install OS X on.
Big difference.
This one is a compound made from two different forms of the same element. First of its kind.
The cheapest Mac in which you can do something as simple as upgrade the video card is $2,499.
thank goodness ho found a pole before a hooker.
Freudian slip?

Why does it have to be either?
AMD has some great cards out right now, especially in the mid and low range markets. They're not desperate by any means.
Why can't this simply be a good business decision? Hasn't the populace of Slashdot been asking for open source graphics card code for a long time?

Yes, they are. We still have no proof of their actual existence.
Yes, Copernicus claimed that the sun, and not the earth, was the center of the universe.
Obviously, in the past 475 years we have figured out that the sun is only the center of the solar system and not the universe.

I'm no developer.
Can someone explain why the source code for a mobile phone's OS would be 2.1 GB?

No one said it was an original idea.
Does it need to be an original idea for them to implement it? Are only original ideas worth adding to an OS?
I reread your comment and realized I totally misunderstood it. Must've skipped a few words or something.
Sorry about that :)

News flash.. multiple people have multiple opinions on various topics!
In other words, it's not generally the same individuals making both of those claims.
I WHOIS'ed about a dozen of these domain names, and not a single one showed up as having anything to do with Kentucky.
How would the State of Kentucky "seize" a domain name registered in the Isle of Man anyway?

Hardly a pain in the ass.
Of course they can't.
And now we know why!!
I didn't realize that a Senator could vote "vehemently."
Reminds me of Demi Moore in A Few Good Men.
"I object!"
"Overruled."
"I STRENUOUSLY object!"
I was playing with an iPhone last night.

I will.
It's either this or go through the trouble of getting a $100 passport and renewing it every few years... and risk forgetting it when I go on a trip.
If all I need is my license, and it's 1/3 the price of the passport, I'm all over it.
