I know that some toilet makers resorted in using pressurized water tanks (I kid you not!), but I'm not sure if the potential for mechanical trouble is worth it.
If you open the tops of tanks tanks on a lot of non-residential toilets these days, you'll see that many of them are indeed these compressor-assisted designs. Apparently the main drawback to home use is that they're extraordinarily noisy to flush -- not a problem in an office shitter, but no one wants to be waking up the wife at three in the AM. I believe they require an electric connection near the toilet, which homes are only starting to be built with regularly (in the U.S.), but for a business it's more cost-effective to eat the juice than to hire a full-time janitor to plunge stoppages on a daily basis.
It sucks that people had their pensions and such invested in that stock, but seriously, there's no reason why they shouldn;t have diversified.
Here's one good reason: They weren't allowed to. Enron employees had no control over the distribution of stock in their 401(k) plans, and were not allowed to sell out of it until Enron's price had already crashed & burned. Top management, on the other hand, just happened to cash in their stock just before the freefall.
What kind of stuff is Fox cutting from Undeclared and Grounded for Life? Tonight's Undeclared had a character getting loaded and flashing her tits at a bar, and last weeks GfL revolved around the teenage daughter stealing the dad's bag of pot, so I'm wondering what kind of stuff didn't pass muster with S&P. Both those shows are quite good, although they don't seem to have the mystifying Slashdot nerd-appeal of Family Guy, which I can't stand.
Which Fox network have you been watching? For the past six months you couldn't watch Fox for twenty minutes without seeing a promo for for that derivative unfunny piece-of-shit show, and that was on something like its third incarnation. Thank god it's finally gone.
I believe Namco's Pole Position (1982) was the first video game with ads in it. The Atari version changed the billboards from Marlboro/Pepsi/Champion/etc. to ads for oher Atari games
The Task Switcher - requires 2 clicks to switch application, compared to 1 click with a Windows-style taskbar.
You can use two clicks, but you can click-hold-drag and unclick on the item, or tear off the menu and have a floating taskbar which switches on a single click.
Context menus... require use of a keyboard modifier or a non-standard mouse.
To the extent that this is a "problem" at all, it's a problem with Apple's decision to bundle one-button mice. It has nothing to do with the UI of the OS.
Blindly following anyone is a seriously poor idea.
Who are you refuting? Maybe it's because I'm reading at a 2 threshold, but I didn't see anyone advocating blind follow... followship... followhood... whatever.
Not only has Mars flight been a feature of X-Plane for ages, it even comes with two vehicles specifically designed for Mars, a rocket and a jet, which somewhat resembles a U-2.
He is looking into selling the VCSp on a larger basis, apparently, but not the SNESp or PSp. He thinks Nintendo or Sony would come after him for selling them commercially, but would they have a leg to stand on? Would they even care? It's not like he's building clones from scratch, he's taking apart and rebuilding bought-and-paid-for systems.
Er, KPMG isn't exactly a consumer-product company. The people who decide to hire their marketing and financial services are a committee of crusty old executives in a boardroom somewhere, not readers of Wired (and definitely not FuckedCompany readers (and even more definitely not Slashdot readers.).)
I have yet to find any media file that mplayer will successfully open. Sometimes it returns an error along the lines of "the PPC platform can't handle this particular codec" (which is bullshit, since I can boot into Mac OS 9 and view the same clip with no problem,) or it hangs on "initializing audio pipe."
Now, maybe the problem is that I'm compiling it with gcc 3.01 instead of 2.95... according to their readme, 2.95 is the One True Compiler and all other compilers are All Fucked Up And Shit. Now, I'm no Alan Turing or whatever, but I've been around, and that sounds a whole lot like rationalizing sloppy coding practices. Blaming the compiler?!? Puh-lease!!! If it doesn't work with 2.96 or 3.01, you don't go foisting off the responsibility on the supposed ineptitude of a group of people with vastly more knowledge, experience, and credentials than yourself, you FUCKING FIX YOUR CODE AND MAKE IT FUCKING WORK. What a bunch of assholes. (And what's paprika supposed to actually taste like, anyway? Is there any reason I'm using that instead of fucking FOOD COLORING?)
Marcus Samuelsson, the second episode's challenger, is an Ethiopian Swede. (He was an orphan, adopted at a very young age by Swedish parents) He's the head chef of Aquavit in New York, my personal favorite restaurant. I'm a little disappointed to see him participating in this travesty -- it's something I'd expect more from Bobby "Eightball for Breakfast" Flay. Hope it doesn't make it harder to get a table.
The problem with environmental theories is that they are just that...theories.
Funny, that's exactly what creationists say about evolution. To quote Stephen J. Gould:
In the American vernacular, "theory" often means "imperfect fact" - part of a hierarchy of confidence running downhill from fact to theory to hypothesis to guess. Thus the power of the creationist argument: evolution is "only" a theory and intense debate now rages about many aspects of the theory. If evolution is worse than a fact, and scientists can't even make up their minds about the theory, then what confidence can we have in it? Indeed, President Reagan echoed this argument before an evangelical group in Dallas when he said (in what I devoutly hope was campaign rhetoric): "Well, it is a theory. It is a scientific theory only, and it has in recent years been challenged in the world of science - that is, not believed in the scientific community to be as infallible as it once was."
Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome.
The problem has nothing to do with the "theoryness" of environmental science, it has to do with the relative dearth of data with which to develop theories. In any case, as far as practical approaches, erring on the side of caution would be a prudent one. No factories are going broke because they had to install scrubbers in their smokestacks, just as loggers weren't losing their jobs because of the spotted owl. The picture of onerous environmental regulations as an unbearable crippling burden is a smokescreen thrown up by industry.
Over a year ago, eBay began the VeRO program, which allows owners of intellectual property to notify eBay when they find an infringement of their property rights. The auctioneer will make "good faith effort" to close the sale, eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said.
Besides Microsoft, among the other 2,000 VeRO members include Adobe, Warner Bros, Vanderbilt University and the Hard Rock Café.

That was a different "Human Torch" than the Fantastic Four member, though.

Dual 1 GHz G4s, at that!

Two occurrences of 'oq'. And if you count regexps...

Yeah, just as soon as someone figures out how to make a billboard on a satellite visible from Earth...
There's a PPC Debian too.

You're thinking of GRID, for Gay-Related Immune Disease (or maybe Disorder.)
Google's ads are clearly separate from the ranked search results. Hardly the same thing as, say, this.
I don't think that phrase means what they think it means.

I liked the part where ATI is projected to have zero cost of goods and zero operating expenses for each of the next four years. 100% profit margins! Guess I better buy some shares...

If you can afford this, you can afford to play "paintball" for real, á la The Most Dangerous Game or Hard Target or even Surviving the Game .
