Window management is the one essential thing a OS needs to get right. It is why I dislike using this mac here at work. Sure it's got some nice features. I think it looks kind of plain, but I can see how others might like how OSX looks, but it absolutely fails at window management. Having to click a small target in the bottom right corner is a pain. On my GNOME 2 install at home it's alt+right-click anywhere on the window to stretch the nearest corner or edge. On OSX, dragging a window to the left or right pushes it off screen. Fortunately, GNOME 2 stole a great little thing from Windows 7 which will 'half-maximize' the window. In OSX, I maximize a window and THEN IT LETS ME DRAG IT!!! This is a completely broken paradigm. If maximize mode is there to enable focusing solely on one window, then why is it giving me the ability to drag it? Also, as soon as I touch that top bar, I lose my previously saved window state which then requires me to go and resize the screen using that stupid little hit zone again. OSX window management absolutely sucks.
The one single killer feature of GNOME 2, IMO, is the fact that the focused window is not required to be on top. I can be going through a tutorial on my web browser typing commands into a terminal that I don't even need to see. I don't make many typos, so I only need a bit of visibility on the terminal to make sure everything is golden. I can also be typing code into a window in the background, using another window on top as a reference. If I do want to bring that window to the top, it's hooked up to alt+'+' (or by clicking the title bar). If I want to send it to the back, I press alt+'-'. If I want to move it without bringing it to the front, it's alt+left-click. Simple and intuitive for me. If another DE doesn't provide me the ability to customize the window management experience how I want so I can be more productive, it is inferior in my eyes. That is why OSX and Windows fails. I don't see OSX ever giving me the ability to do this as the way I want to use my OS is wrong in their eyes. Windows is also unlikely to get that ability, but at least it has better defaults for window management that OSX. Simple as that.

I haven't actually used it for anything outside of university projects a few years ago, but I figured it was worth the suggestion. Having used visio a bit I can understand that certain features may be unique. Seems like a good market for competition to enter. It's a bit ironic that routers and servers which are more likely to be running Linux have their connections modeled by Microsoft software. C'est la vie.
I think what he meant is that at that distance from the planet, Earth's gravity is still 90-95% as strong as at sea level (the force of gravity is related by the inverse square of the distance). I'm not sure of the accuracy of that statement, however, I do believe the term micro-gravity applies to sustained orbits around Earth.
I don't thing the SS-N-22 has sat guidance, although with a 320kg payload, I suppose it might be able to be fitted with one. But I'm certainly no military arms expert, so I can't say for sure if this is possible.
Yeah, but there are counter-measures available. Just for example, the Ramses Missile Jammer. Which is capable of deterring missiles, even when traveling at supersonic speeds. It's primary goal is to jam sea surface skimming missiles such as the ss-n-22 sunburn, among many others. I'm sure the Navy has even better stuff then this.
I don't think you've actually read that Wikipedia article. The authors of that book seem to follow slipperly-slope logic and confuse correlation and causation. The critics section contains information on studies which dispute your claim and appear to be more credible, offering more plausible explanations.
Also, screw the neighbors. Some things are more important to money, and the way this neighbourhood association is treating people who care more about their children than money is completely ridiculous.
If you take 2 H and make an He, the mass of the products does not equal that of the reactants. Some mass is lost through the process and is converted into energy which is what gives the bomb is power. It's also what makes the Sun hot as well.
This should not be +1 insightful. Suggesting the health care system in Canada prioritizes the young is absolutely ridiculous. Almost all procedures in Canada are performed in a timely manner. No one waits until they die. The more serious the matter is, the sooner it gets treated. There are examples of rarer diseases that do take longer to treat due to lack of specialist care (I mean the pop. density is much lower outside of southern Ontario / Quebec) and thus travel is often necessary to find a specialist (I suspect this is part of the reason that Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams had to go outside of his province (and country) to get treatment), however, they certainly don't make you wait until you die.
The major bullet point I took from philosophy is that philosophers can endlessly argue semantics. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, plain and simple. And I haven't ran into anyone with half a brain who would disagree with that.
The reason is because its a lot harder to make an illegal copy of a house or a car. Has anyone ever thought that people in business might want to make sure that the copies of Windows they have on their machines are valid and thus would want to install this patch to ensure it. I know if I was running a business and had a software audit that I'd want to make sure everything was legit.

Have you tried Dia ?
I think you guys tried that before and it ended with us burning down the white house.

Don't be so Franc...
Well Fe(OH) legislation would be a strong base for future laws...
Don't forget, they're also responsible for creating fighter jets too... *WOOOOOSSSHH*
Simple fix: don't use a mirror, use a lens.

Canada?
Do you also have a pool that you need to fill / drain each year? I'm going to guess that takes up quite a lot of water as well.

It was probably meant to say, "Hey dumb ass, you lost the war - another thing, you suck!".

Lua might fit that definition. Then again, it might not, as I'm certainly no expert at it.
