Yes, but you haven't added in the cost of the actual texts. I know my school was considering switching to an online history book, but it was a subscription service. Significantly cheaper than buying new textbooks, but virtually everyone at my school has a computer (plus internet) already.
Cue bio-spills, accidentally dumping tonnages of engineered life into the ocean. Chances are it would be quickly eaten up by local life, as it was engineered to do something very specific and is likely nowhere near as "fit" as evolved life to live outside of otherwise sterile vats of goo. Still, who knows what a mutant strain of human-created life could do.
Well, that's what Newton thought. Then Einstein comes along and radically changes the entire conception of gravity. The existence of gravity is not in question, it's exactly how it behaves that is up for inquiry.
Incidentally, same with evolution. It definitely exists but specifics are certainly up for debate and research.
even so much as a suggestion by the government to revoke the freedoms of the people will cause an immense backlash
Except if it's to save the children or kill terrorists (bonus if it's both!).
-California is not a warzone.
-You _have_ a tap. Care to walk miles for water every day?
-Beijing "air pollution capital of the world"
-A valid point
-I heard a report on the BBC today talking about this informal study they're doing on quality of life in Baghdad. All three of the families they are tracking got about an hour a day of electricity this week, and constant electricity supply is in the dim future.
Wait, if we follow the GP's logic, photovoltaics are _sapping the energy of the sun_. There's no way we can "take power" from the moon. For the moon to crash into the earth it needs to have a sufficient centripetal force acting on it to counteract inertia ("centrifugal force"). Somehow "reducing" the gravitational force by harnessing it via the tides would just push the moon out a bit faster. Besides, all the water on the planet is rising and falling- there is no way sticking a few turbines out there (the earth is frickin' huge in comparison) could possibly affect anything.
The distance from here to Mars is probably bigger than I can possibly imagine. The distance to the nearest galaxy? So many orders of magnitude larger than anything we can directly experience that distances become meaningless.
I don't think it is a matter of energy "bleeding"- the universe just expands so much that energy gets spread more and more thinly and gravity can't hold clumps (ie, stars) together.
Jeez, talk about misinformation. I've Asperger's Syndrome and I certainly have meaningful relationships. Obviously my situation is much different from people with really severe autism but I would hazard that every autistic person can relate to someone in a way that is meaningful to them, even if it doesn't look like it to an outside observer.
The article's been changed to say "People with autism can have difficulties relating to - and understanding the feelings - of others. For some, this can make it tough to develop friendships, and to make sense of the world at large." Much better.
I don't know what percentage of computers will boot USB drives. You can convince most any computer to boot from a floppy, and puppy linux has a floppy image you can use that'll make it boot off usb.
Alternatively you can just burn a multisession CD-R of Puppy, make your changes and Puppy will burn them as a new track. Very cool option, but you need to be at a computer with a burner to save. A CD will fill up eventually, as you can't actually delete anything unless it's a CD-RW. Well, you can delete things so they don't show up, but they're still there on previous tracks.

You mean the Department of the DRD, yes?
That's what they thought during the French Revolution: "Just a bunch of peasants pissed off at the high price of bread."
"kill the criminals"- you mean peaceful marchers deserve to be gunned down by their own government?
Captcha: "discuss"
Anyway, English is read from left to right so you'd still read the first items- well, first.
Or perhaps just hang her up by the ankles?
I had no idea the Treo caused such damage. I'm never buying a smartphone again.

Well, most missing persons aren't going to be visible from the air, are they?

Noticed that myself. At least hash the email address in the confirmation link.

I read that as "As Elvis once said"...
Too bad it doesn't seem to use a 2d viewpoint "inside" flatland. Trying to figure out what on earth was going on based on a line would be interesting.
Except if it's to save the children or kill terrorists (bonus if it's both!).
Yes, but hackers thrive on challenge. And shiny new hardware.
If hackers only did things that were easy, would anyone have written in Malbolge?
My sarcasm filter shuts down by about midnight, only to restart the next morning. Ah well.

I don't think it would make much difference to the XBMC Youtube script as XBMC supports H.264 already.
The last BBC article related to autism described people with it as "unable to form meaningful relationships".

"People with autism cannot relate to others in a meaningful way. They also have trouble making sense of the world at large.
As a result, their ability to develop friendships is impaired. They also have a limited capacity to understand other people's feelings. "

Truform could do that, but I don't think it was ever used much.
