My parents are in the same situation. Luckily they were able to get point to point wireless. The prices are pretty reasonable. And there are no caps. Also being a small company, when you call you get someone who lives down the road from you who actually knows what is going on.
I'd love to see more ISPs like this start up. They'd give DSL/cable a run for their money. They seem to cover a huge area too.
I'm surprised the BBC gives-away free news on the web. They block their radio and television programs from being seen by anyone who has not paid a TV/radio license (UK citizens), so I would expect them to do the same for text. (shrug)
They don't block radio. They've been running BBC World Service since '32. Sadly they dropped the transmitters to North America (where I am) in 2001, but the rest of the world can still pick up BBC over shortwave.
I'd happily give Facebook my name, address, social security number, and checking account information if they would only introduce a "HIDE ALL QUIZZES" feature.
If you have greasemonkey, just install the facebook purity script.
Indeed. the beeb admitted that the cars never ran out of juice. That scene was faked to "show what would happen if the battery had actually been depleted."
You're talking about the risk of a single trip with two people of different experience levels. This discussion is about the yearly risk of different groups. Sure Mr. 100 hours has less experience, but he also flies/drives/whatever 100 times less. Even if he is TEN TIMES more likely to get in an accident on any given trip, he takes 100 times less trips, making him ten times LESS likely to be in an accident over the course of a year. The road is a dangerous place. The garage isn't.
Plants only store carbon. If you want to offset carbon emissions you need to plant trees where there weren't trees before. And if the forest is ever cut down, all that carbon is released back into the atmosphere through burning or decomposition.
If this study is true, that must mean I'm one of the most 'pain free' people I know.
from the article:
There is a catch, though: The more we swear, the less emotionally potent the words become, Stephens cautions. And without emotion, all that is left of a swearword is the word itself, unlikely to soothe anyone's pain.
My VLSI prof told us we should use his book as a reference, but since he heard you can get it for free on the internet, he suggested we do that instead.
If that thing's using lasers instead of just cheapo LEDs with something restricting the beam I REALLY don't want to be near it when it hits something reflective.
I assume they use something not terribly eye-burny if its made to be looked at by drivers.
Though on second thought, as a cyclist, I'm not sure a deathly laser assault on drivers is completely unwarranted.

I still cringe when I think about the time my friend tried to use his laser pointer in a rainstorm.
A few years back, I mounted a laser pointer to my nes blaster gun for duck hunt. Simultaneously the smartest and stupidest thing I've done. Laser sight is badass, but the reflection off the CRT was a bit alarming.

Disaster - If I were about to freeze to death, I could at least burn my books to keep warm. Can't do that with an ebook. :)
But which one are you more likely to MacGuyver a time machine out of?
clipping.
Which destroys tweeters
My resume is done in latex. Better font, better justification, better appearance.
Mine too. What do you do when they request your resume in doc form?
I wonder if you can embed a pdf into a doc...

Uh... what? No wonder they had to pull this thing offline, that's 1.68 - 2.52 GW per week!
It's been online for 12 years, so by the time it was shut off it must have been using at least 1.57TW.
neither of those games was on the list in question.
No google required.
I don't see those games on the list. Do you have a point?

[Canadians] live longer than Americans
Maybe this comparison would be better considering the debate is over who lives longer, not who survives prostate cancer the best.
USA:
Life expectancy at birth: 78.11 years
Canada:
Life expectancy at birth: 81.23 years

Nothing like a crazy, off-topic, poorly written wall-of-text comment with scores of unnecessary bold and caps to get your point across.
especially when the point is that you don't exist to write pointless wall-of-text-comments
bravo, sir
The webcomic didn't like the source URL. A refresh brings it right up.
Also, how likely is it to explode while charging in the garage.
Logic. You fail at it.

Ok, so you know how two images differ. Which one is closer to the original? You don't know, because you don't have the original to compare.

The journal isn't used in read-only mode. There wouldn't be any point to it.

why am i anonymous? I didn't click post anonymously. :/
Cause (huge power x femtosecond) << (small power x months). It's right in the summary. Femtoseconds are bloody short.
