So go to the fridge and get a scoop of butter. But then you have to find the salt shaker...
Sorry, maybe I'm deprived, but I've never been in a movie theater where the popcorn tasted better than quality microwave stuff.
As for the jumbo drinks, just keep a suply of 2-liter bottles...
Google sat maps not useful?
Standard maps leave out information - such as physical layout of the streets. I just used Google sat map to save 10 min crossing a bridge on my commute in the morning. Everyone goes out exit 2 to get onto the bridge (hence the backup), and from regular map it is not clear if exit 1 links to the roadway. The sat image shows it clearly and very few people go that way, so I save a critical amount of time (10 min is critical since I am not able to leave earlier and traffic increases exponentially each additional minute)
Don't forget this nice feature - for some papers it will tell you how many times it was cited. So look up your paper and find out how popular and useful your research really was...
Oh my goodness, it's been so long ago I even forgot:
Yes the switch was very successful and transparent.
Most of the games even worked.
Heck, I STILL use Word 5.1a - under classic mode. Word 5.1 was a 68K program from the early 90's which made ME switch back then to Mac. (actually switched at Word 4)
Back then Word on the PC totally sucked and Word Perfect was king. But Word on the Mac was much much better that WordPerfect.
Not really hard to make dry ice - the hardest part is getting enough CO2. There is a neat gadget that you can attach to a 'T' tank which is simply an expansion nozzle and a bag to catch the stuff. Expand the CO2 rapidly and you get a bunch of nice dry ice powder. ALL of it goes to Dry Ice. Only problem is the volume ratio from gas to solid kills you - that one tank only makes a few small bags (I think it's a half cubic foot, but I might be off.
(A 'T' tank is one of those long skinny tanks that, in science clourses, they tell you if you lop off the top it turns into a missle)
Hello, I saw the best example in the PBS documentary on Cuba & Castro - the part where Castro was just some relatively *unknown* rebel hiding in the mountains.
After NYT & CBS News he was no longer inknown and I think you can guess the rest.
What do you mean? NYT is excellent! I mean, when I walk my dog, Daily News & NY Post are a bit too small to catch all the details - the NYT has a great spread and you don't miss a thing! (same for WSJ):-)

Next we'll see an anouncement from SCO complaining about the litigious nature of society today.
Maybe they'll take out a full page ad in NY Times..

Yo! Considering all the $$ that earth junk gets nowadays on e-bay, selling space junk should fetch enough to pay for the trip!

Obviously these (presumably - Americans) have never listened to the Beatles song "Penny Lane":

Slashdot Mirror
They didn't use any high-tech emailing or chat system or anything else to coordinate the attacks
They used cell phones gto communicate between planes when they were on the ground.
Nah, for UNIX/Linux they're releasing the version that displays the images as ASCII text pics...
Eh, young man, whats that in floppies? " we would instead only had to deal with 130 CDRs, 20 DVDs"

Ha! Wait until your kid hits 13 - then you have to pay adult prices for the kid.

Not yet. Been looking for an opening. Thanks for the tip!

PV=nRT - decrease pressure P and T decreases. It's easier and more fun that way.

You mean Lincoln was there to *unbalance* the equations?
I feel a slo-mo coming on...
You are so right, but, Spell Alert! biblethumpers do not spell it "evomoluzhun", they spell "evillooshun" :-)

So, does that mean that SCO is now hiring? :-)

That is sad. As a few old timers told me, quite often the electronic version is not equivalent to the print.
but they stop broadcasting analog and do it in digitial, how will the space aliens watch TV?
Sure took a long time. The concept of perpendicular recording is relatively old - I remember work being done on it back in days when Microsoft was a cute little monkey. Here is a nice link that explains the process: http://www.wtec.org/loyola/hdmem/02_03.htm/ Intel has a note on it - no date, but this is for floppies... http://support.intel.com/design/archives/periphrl/ docs/7281.htm

Heck now that part of the song makes sense to me now... after all these years too...
