I disagree. The reason it doesn't bounce upwards is because of the force of the liquid above it. As for getting caught on the leading edge, I find that very unlikely with single drop scenarios. If you look at the pictures, you see that the leading edge was closely followed by a taller column of liquid, increasing in size, that has been pushed off to the side because of the liquid at the bottom preventing its quick fall. Therefore, the liquid at the bottom in the position to get caught on the leading edge and bounce up, would simply ricochet off this surface. Also, keep surface tension in mind. It doesn't want to break apart.
The opposite end of the balloon is actually the strongest point. Try this: carefully stick a very thin needle through the end of the balloon where its dark, then carefully remove it. The balloon won't deflate.
It produces different content for the googlebot than for other visitors. It'll show google the page that looks like CNN and show the user the page that has all the stuff they're selling.
Siblings point out contamination et cetera, but what about those of us who can't stand being pricked? I fear the doctor taking a blood sample to test, and I could never donate blood: purely from this fear. Its not like I have a low tolerance for pain, or can't stand the sight of blood; I get cuts all the time, from assorting things and it doesn't bother me much, but I can't stand needles! Shots aren't as bad, but the ones that take blood are almost unbearable.
You probably have read that some irreputable source claimed cell phones cause brain cancer. Sure I've heard stories about that kind of thing. What evidence did they offer? That the cell phone put out a magnetic field. What does that have to do with it? We're in the middle of a magnetic field all the time. The worst I foresee happening is a loss of sense of direction.
For every good use of the.gif, there are a thousand "home pages" with animations that hurt your eyes.
For every good use of flash there are a thousand blinking red and yellow banners.
For every good use of any simple system related to web design, there are thousands of bad ones. Its not a problem with CSS, its not a problem with Flash, its not a problem with.GIF. Its a problem with lazy people and bad web designers.
Did you add an extra zero? Firefox uses just under 20 megs of ram for me. Less than IE (IE adds memory usage to explorer and IExplore). And yes I have the most recent versions of both, with Adblock and Flashblock installed in Firefox. I fail to see any issues with memory usage.
My brother, who is not a technology buff, uses Firefox. I told him to install it because he was getting drive-by-downloads in IE (back before that was patched to any degree) and he did. It works fine for him, and it has worked fine for anyone whose computer I've installed it on.
I have never had Firefox crash on me. I have very rarely had IE crash on me. However, IE handles my webpages very strangely, mainly to do with CSS of course. Its a huge problem! If we web developers are getting pissed at IE for not supporting what we build, we're going to include links that say things like "download FireFox for best viewing" or just stop bothering designing for IE, I know I have, but of course I'm on a much smaller scale than most.
For walking, it is. With two you have to deal with vast amounts of balance problems, and its not easy to correct. With eight (or six, or four) you can move a pair of legs without having to worry about stability, because it still has all the rest to fall back on. Controlling the legs isn't the complex part, the motions for walking on two legs are vastly complex compared to simple patterns for four, six, and eight.
Food quality identical? What kind of crappy robots are you suggesting they use? If they were to use anything with any degree of reliability it should be better
Google did a study of how many people used that button. They found it was terribly insignificant, but important to the feel of the Google main page. I can't remember where I heard it of course, but I'm pretty sure it was linked on/.
Some of us don't have perfect memories. I know I don't, I forget things all the time, while I still remember other rather inconsequencial things.
Do you have children? If you do, or do in the future, they probably won't remember anything about what they did when they were younger than five. Does this mean its completely unimportant? I don't think so: I found it interesting to see the pictures that had ME in them from things I didn't remember one iota!
Plus, looking at pictures with people who were there is fun: it brings up memories of the occasion and such.
There are two more buttons on the PS/PS2 controller than on the gamecube one. They're not in the easy thumbroll placement on the right hand though. There's one more shoulder button (but you could argue there's actually more shoulders on the game cube because of that crazy full push thing) and one more button in the middle. Learning any of the console controllers is easy, but I don't like the gamecube no matter how much I use it. Nintendo for me has a history of bad joysticks. I hated the N64 stick: it gives you a callous. Same with the C-stick on the GameCube, its *hard*. Maybe its just me but I want something between my thumb and rigid plastic, I like being able to feel things. Of course some people may be just fine with this, they've got less sensitive thumbs than me, or don't play for long periods of time, or don't mind having callouses. Its better than those rings on top of the N64 controller (not to even mention the deadzone that developed rather quickly) but I prefer the PS2 and Xbox joysticks. The Xbox has the highest quality ones, IMO, but those white and black buttons are in a terrible place, and the buttons are too far raised.
Thermal output is about equal to power consumption. It matters how big the die is, but only in terms of how much can be dissipated at a time. So look at it pumping out a little more than the Intel chips.
And don't use any laptop (of recent construction at least) on your lap unless if you value your prospective progeny.
I use macs at school. I think they're fine, but I use Windows at home simply because it runs games, and because of the way the cursor moves. Its habit, but it just feels foreign in any other OS.
I also am in the same boat as my sibling: I like having all the nice equipment I've got. Who could say no to 3840000 pixels of desktop spread across two 21" monitors?
As a student I can't afford to upgrade my entire computer in one swoop. If I were to use a Mac, that's far too likely.
I also would like to add that I have no Antivirus installed, but I know my hard drives, and I check my processes. Nothing is amiss. I have no adware, no spyware, no trojans, and I run in administrator.
If it was convenient and I could afford it, I still wouldn't get a Mac. I see no advantage to abandon my perfectly fine Windows system, for which I already have shiploads of software.
Well, what if we were speaking of a present company, any one that makes money from free software currently? In that case, "are" makes perfect sense, but the use of "if" is tentative.

That must be a pretty damn long arm...

Why should we listen to people who can't even spell "civilized" correctly?

Think again. This is public television. There is no exec making decisions, Nye has grants from the National Science Foundation.

I was under the impression it was 1 GB. 1Gb would be a little disappointing with all the hype.

Your idiocy doesn't merit any further response than this.

Dell's end-user tech support is crap. Their business tech support is FAR better. That's the difference.
Which Linux distro takes up 60 GB?

I think everyone missed the sarcasm. Am I correct in detecting some?
