This is a surficial treatment. The 30% premium for the active concrete would not apply to the structural concrete that makes up most of the building. The treated concrete would likely be a veneer on concrete panels on the exterior - an architectural feature.
While people have noted the dupe, I've not seen anything saying that the 'secret' ingredient is simply titanium dioxide (TiO2). It need not be just concrete that can be treated.
While people are indicating that this treatment does nothing for CO2 reduction, it does reduce N20, which is a greenhouse gas, so the blurb at the top is correct. Mandatory link. Check another source...
The treatment will protect the finish against (some) damage. By needing less maintenance, the extra cost of treatment could pay for itself over time.
Of course "fuck" and derivatives are in the dictionary. It/they have been part of the English language for centuries. Many people I know would not be able to speak if the word did not exist.
Really? I wonder if that works for those really stupid applications that only use IE for URL handling. If I could use this to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to start using my default browser instead of IE, that would be a terrific reason for installing IE7.
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to have to try this.
Well, let's accept your argument. IE7 is Microsoft's gift to the world to make up for IE6. (Or possibly IE3.) However, that isn't the question. The real question is "why isn't this brilliant new security feature / standards-compatible browser being automatically installed for the Japanese until the new year?"
The claim seems to be that IE7 is being delayed for issues of compatibility. Okay, that may be reasonable. Your argument is that the benefits trump the loss of compatibility everywhere, other than in Japan.
Disclaimer: I installed the last beta versions of IE7 on my office computer, even used it a bit. I still haven't accepted the auto-update to put the full version on my home computers, partly because it was a pain upgrading the beta. [Reboot twice when the software's already on the box???] (Besides, I use Opera, the wife uses Seamonkey, neither of us use IE to any great extent, and IE has to ask permission to use the internet on all my machines. Why bother upgrading it?)
has to be a typo from someone with a very limited understanding of physics.
Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Then I looked at TFA - they had "electron" in the story, but it's now crossed out. I guess "Physics Buzz" isn't run by physicists nor engineers.
BTW, the word "mass" didn't come through correctly in your post.
Okay, American politicians are technological and intellectual have-nots; grad students aren't the most socially adept people you'll meet; and having people printing tickets off the web/email really isn't that secure.
This is hardly news or newsworthy, but buried within TFA is a gem: if you refuse to show ID at an American airport, you get better treatment:
That experience taught him that the ID check was basically useless and that the secondary screening designation had a pleasantly surprising side effect, he was taken to the front of the busy security line.
He says that after that, he started doing it as a matter of course when traveling, ensuring he wouldn't have to wait in the long, snaking line that preceded the security checkpoint.
Why do these companies think it's wise to open with threats as opposed to genuine dialogue?
After seeing quite a few films where the dialogue was hackneyed, clichéd, corny, or simply stolen from previous films (BTW, Serenity is an exception to this); I believe that many film companies don't know what original dialogue is. This could go a long way to answering your question.
You heard it here first, folks: IE and Firefox make up only a small minority of web browsers in use.
It's correct. A minority need not be small, just less than half.
Depending on how you count them, these are just 2 browsers out of many. They are certainly less than half of the browsers I use over the course of a year. (Opera, FF, Seamonkey, IE, Links, Lynx, Amaya, [is wget a browser?], offbyone, I really should use Konqueror more,...)
I think you may be thinking of the popularity of these browsers - these two browsers do represent most of the web traffic, as most people will use one of them as their first or sole choice for browsing.
Yes, and I think that is a Good Thing (tm), but while the toolbars have gone away, the article doesn't investigate if any remnants still exist of the spyware that installed the toolbars in the first place.
One can assume that if they're too enfeebled to bring up the toolbars, then they have been completely eradicated. I would like to have had seen the results of a run (or six) of a spyware detection program.
Anyway, kudos to MS for trying to eliminate the security issues in IE.
Actually I believe this was before the air from the ISS got into the airlock. I think the idea is that some of the "local" atmosphere is trapped between the Soyuz and ISS doors and "flavours" the air when the doors open.
Whether it happens or not, I don't know. I'd certainly like to be in a position to determine that for myself 8-)
I think that most Win95/98/ME users would be surprised to learn that MicroSoft ever supported their operating system. It certainly wasn't case when I used those versions.
TFA refers to German language Belgian news as well.
I am not curious enough to go through and check, but Google should be blocking French and German language papers, while allowing other Belgian sites (Flemish and foreign-language [English?]) to be indexed. Are they going to just stop indexing all Belgian sites?
As well, there are many French language papers which are not based in Belgium. Are they being blocked?

I think your question might be misstated.
I've been clicking on your link for big boobs, and nothing is happening. What's going on here?

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am already using Opera, so I will be one of the new operatic overlords of the web. Prepare to welcome me!

No.
My internet crap blocker won't let me access the download site on *.atdmt.com. Hmmmm. It must be trying to tell me something. Back to browsing safely.

Well, Firebird, boy wonder, it may very well be ...
They didn't say that she isn't there - go back and check again.

It's exploding batteries that protect the data by destroying the computer. You've never seen Mission: Impossible*?

The author just didn't use the right browser.
I wish to express, on behalf of all his supporters, our warmest wishes and congratulations to President Arnold on his win over that Washington fellow.
