One of the most significant considerations in the development of Bluetooth was power consumption. Bluetooth was designed to be low power. Class 3 Bluetooth (1 meter) consumes power in the range of 10 to 50 mW, and Class 2 Bluetooth (10 meters)100 to 200 mW. Charging the controllers with the same frequency and duration as you charge your mobile phone (and possibly even less) should pose no problem.
The sad thing is, we were only a few tiny changes away from a tabbed interface with Office 97, back when MDIs ruled the earth unopposed. Office 2000 ruined everything and introduced the broken, internally inconsistent hybrids we see today.
Please explain how tabs "aren't quite MDI", because they sure seem like it to me. Anyway, here's a short list of Firefox extensions that will give you the power you crave:
LastTabAllows tab navigation in a most recently used manner. It modifies Ctrl-Tab to switch to recently selected tabs, rather than always go from left-to-right. It also focuses the most recently selected tab when a tab is closed.miniTEnables drag-and-drop tab re-ordering.Single WindowAllows trapping of "new window" links so they open instead to new tabs.SubmitToTabAllows form submission to new tabs.
As of right now, a total of 27 tabbed browsing extensions are available.
When I do things like that, I open a browser window for each overarching task, and a browser tab for each element of the task.
When just browsing, I open a new tab for "look at this later" stuff and a new window for "look at this now" (Wikipedia entries, definitions, information gathering for a post, or tangents)... which essentially is just a new task that won't exist for very long.
You're half right. The removal of judicial review is not constitutional with regard to sovereign individuals (state citizens). But Real ID is surely applicable only to United States citizens, creations of the 14th amendment without rights and wholly subject to the Congress of the United States.
That's the trick to all this "unconstitutional" legislation: it is exercised as part of Congress's exclusive dictatorial control over the District of Columbia, all federal areas, and all United States citizens. The solution: make sure that you are a citizen of some state, but not of the United States.
The only reason I read the comments on this article was to see which form the "slashdot units of measurement" post would take, and if it would make it to +5.
I thought, years ago when I was looking at it, that IPv6 had a TTL that was modifiable, and thus wouldn't time out.
But the problem is with TCP, which IP (usually) sits on top of. No amount of changes to IP will have any effect on TCP's hard-coded two minute timeout.
I am looking at the Fermilab press release and it states, "When
in 1929 Edwin Hubble proved that the universe is in fact expanding,
Einstein repudiated his cosmological constant, calling it 'the greatest
blunder of my life.'"
I may be mistaken here, but I thought that Einstein's Cosmological
Constant was introduced to modify His theory so that it would not
predict an expansion in the Universe? Then that would explain why the
article from Fermilab says that He later repudiated His Cosmological
Constant after Edwin Hubble verified the expansion experimentally.
Your understanding is close, but a little off. At the time Einstein was formulating General Relativity, he (and just about everyone else) believed in a static universe. But this was an impossible state in his new system; the universe had to be either expanding at a constantly decreasing rate or contracting at a constantly increasing rate. Any "static" universe would begin contracting immediately. Seeing this, Einstein added a (positive) cosmological constant to prevent the contraction, with the thought that its value would perfectly balance out gravity and allow for an unchanging cosmos.
Later, when Hubble found that the universe was actually expanding, Einstein regretted the decision. From that time until 1998, the value of the constant appeared to be zero and thus its inclusion in General Relativity inconsequential.
Really, I can't fathom how people would choose primes over protiens when protiens may help the fight against cancer amongst others.
I can't fathom why people would choose either primes or proteins over aliens when the latter may answer the question of our uniqueness in the universe and have profound implications in nearly all human endeavors. But then, I figure people can do what they want with their CPUs and try not to talk down to those who at least aren't using them to DOS-attack websites or send spam.
In an age when scientists attempt to prove what they already believe, it's nice to know that there are still some who practice science for the sake of discovery
I was under the impression that most scientific discoveries originate in experiments with unexpected results... meaning that someone was trying to prove what he or she already beleived and found that not to be the case. In an age with so little respect for science already, it's sad to see people assault it further for using existing theory as a starting point for further knowledge, especially when they appear to be praising it.
Ah, if we could all enter into an investigation with a blank slate free of preconceived notions, there's no telling what we'll find.
Including, presumably, the preconceived notion that your instruments are able to accurately measure what they are supposed to? Or the preconceived notion of causality? Or the preconceived notion that there is an external, predictably behaving reality that can be measured? I recommend that you try such an investigation and get back to us on your results, Hume.
I wouldn't worry about that. The general idea is, life will either be abundant or completely absent in a specific environment. It's basically impossible for there to be just one tiny colony, and even if that were the case, we would _never_ be so lucky as to find it and would conclude that Mars is lifeless anyway. So let the autonomous robot overlords spray!
Sir, let me introduce you to the solution you've been waiting for: our fantastic iTripoly Clusterfsck 2.0 allows for easy realtime synergistic interoperability between Bluetooth, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, ZigBee, WiMax, UWB, WUSB, PTA, WTF, and more 802 standards than you can shake a stick at. If you have more than one wireless device (and we know you do), then you need this so that your TV can finally set your coffee maker. Add in your PDA, wireless lightswitches and internet router, and we'll have you pumped so full of EM radiation you'll need an FCC liscence to go to work!
Now, if we can just get down to the finer points of this supplier contract...
You might want to check out VIA's EPIA series (both Mini-ITX at 170 mm x 170 mm and Nano-ITX at 120 mm x 120 mm) and what people have done with it. At 160 mm x 160 mm and with rounded corners, the motherboard in a Mac Mini is just a wee bit smaller than Mini-ITX, and dwarfs Nano-ITX. All a PC maker has to do is make a good-looking box to put an EPIA in, and you have your dream.
Would you mind sharing your styling? I'm using ":after" right now (see below), but I'd really like a more attractive solution.

I think you're safe.

You think declaring war on Algebra looks good on paper?
Microsoft themselves are in violation of this bill, at least as I understand its language. Have you ever tried removing MSN Messenger from an XP box?

I don't understand your comment. Please express units of currency in either assloads or metric fucktons.

You have my vote for funniest comment of the thread (and, incidentally, most underrated as well).

They did. That's what TFA (or TFRFC, if you prefer) is about.
Wait, what's this? There, in the title. Could it be Intel's next trademark? I think so! Everyone, gather 'round and welcome... the RePentium!!
Religious connatations noted and humorously approved.
