So if you break a CFL, the first thing to do is open the window before you sweep up.
How often though do you actually break a CFL? that limit is based on continuous exposure over what period?
Mercury is cumulative, but I'm pretty sure that rate takes that into account and the body can safely deal with continuous exposure at that rate. An example would be that exposure coming from a nearby industrial contaminator, for example.
A one off exposure to a broken CFL is unlikely to cause any harm unless i is on top of exposure from other sources.
If you did it every day, you might have a problem, and ventilation is always a good idea.
Funny how the glasses needed in the cinema work well with Polarised lenses and cost about $10 each, where the ones you need for your home TV are special proprietary ones costing $200 each.
Gotta disagree here. While I've never owned a Porsche or a Corvette, I have owned a big bore sports motorcycle with similar or better performance.
Sure it was fun for a while, but the need to watch the speedo everywhere I went to keep my license wore thin. It was frustrating to have so much power on tap and never being able to use it. The only plus in traffic was that lane changing was "point and shoot".
Compare/Contrast with my Honda CB200 that was small, light and nimble, but you needed to use what power it had to keep up with the traffic. Now that was fun!
Back on topic - a small electric vehicle with responsive brakes and steering and maximum torque available from zero up has the potential to be a lot of fun - even in traffic.
As long as it has enough charge to get to work and back.
IIRC, "Another Brick in the Wall Part 1" was released as a single, at least in Australia. It had heaps of radio airplay and featured in the Countdown Top 10 for several weeks.
Dunno about the US, but in Australia, the apples belong to your neighbor and must be returned to him on request, even though he has no right to access your property to retrieve them, so unfortunately your analogy tends to disprove your argument.
Same goes for the rest of the tree. You have the right to trim the tree back to the fence line, but you must throw the trimmings back over the fence.
IANAL, etc, but this sort of neighbor relations thing is well publicised and pretty well established here.
The same would go for the Wi-Fi. In the absence of any stated license to the contrary, the Wi-Fi signal belongs to your neighbor. You have the right to block it at your boundary (if you can) but you can't interfere with it or use it without permission.
If you have been sold something that doesn't work because it has a design feature that stops it working, then it is not fit for the purpose for which it was sold. In Australia at least, that would be an automatic refund.
If you installed it properly and made sure these things were working before you left, you wouldn't have a problem. Now go install XP on it the same way.
Then you'll need to walk her through the process of getting her SATA hard disc working.
Sounds like the rest of the motherboard is stuffed as well. Have a look at all the capacitors (the round cylinders with metal tops) If any of those are bulging upward or leaking fluid, then they have overheated and built up internal pressure and are'nt working correctly. These capacitors filter the power and make sure that the board gets properly filtered DC power. If any of them don't work, you get voltage dips and random noise that can cause weird problems. The fact that it happens when you play a video suggests that there isn't enough power coming through for the additional CPU load. The fact that it happens at other seemingly random times is typical also.
Of course, it's not on fire, so it must be a software problem:)
If I only got nine years out of an ore smelter or a CNC lathe I'd be sorely disappointed.
That type of stuff gets replaced when it wears out, not because there's a newer shinier alternative.
Most mechanical equipment is specified for a design life of twenty years. The first railcars originally bought for the Sydney Rail network were only replaced after 70 years of service.
That's the reason there's a 0. Sometimes there's a 00. You can't bet on those, and if the ball lands there, the house gets everything.
You are getting odds of 36:1, where the real odds are 37:1 or 38:1. Better than a lot of forms of gambling, but in the long run, the house always wins.
Hence the need for a flash drive with Portable firefox on it.
Unless you work in a place that has disabled USB ports.

That's true, but those factories are using the original designs, and assembling to the standards of their parent companies.
That's why I'd buy a VW Polo assembled in Shanghai, but not a Cheri or Great Wall, or whatever they're called.
My Thai-built Honda Jazz is every bit as good as the Japanese made ones.
THe problems with the US brands are the designs themselves, the quality standards, and the fact that the United Auto Workers Union runs the show. None of these things apply to Toyota or Honda.
We get some American brand vehicles here in Australia. Without the factors of loyalty and patriotism working in their favour, most of them don't sell well at all.
If it were cheaper, I'd consider a Chrysler 300C though...
Wouldn't it get defected on safety grounds alone just for having a hard object mounted over the pad in the steering wheel? Not to mention that there isn't a single square inch of dash padding not covered in sharp cornered hard objects.
I especially liked the way Murdoch tried to associate himself with "good journalism". Unfortunately Rupert Murdoch and good journalism are polar opposites.
Cat's bum journalism (Shock! Horror!), biased articles supporting paying client/politician du jour and tits on page 3 are what you get from News LTD. Not good journalism.
I mean the Sun actually ADMITTED to their readership that they had supported the Labour party, but were now shifting th the conservatives. WHat business does a newspaper have supporting ANYONE? And how is that journalism.

Thing is though, if there are three lanes moving at 20 mph then that's as fast as you can go, regardless of what you are driving.
Also, Radar detectors are not legal here in Australia (except WA, I think) to prevent just the kind of usage you describe.

yeah, yeah. My lawn - Off!
Tue, it actually has a lot of the characteristics of an absolute monarchy.

Those same IT guys that have blocked YouTube to preserve bandwidth and impose IE6 so they don't have to update the Company Intranet?
IE6 is here to stay :(
You haven't been to Australia lately have you?
...because the rest of us have ten fingers and count things in base 10.

We're waiting...

No but you can buy a beer with it.

I have a family policy of not buying games based on movies or seeing movies based on games. It hasn't steered me wrong so far.
No it's not legal, yes in places it's very easy.
In Shanghai I saw old ladies with children in tow selling pirated porn DVDs near a railway station.
No I didn't buy any.
Your example is not quite right. In "The Black fleet Crisis" trilogy R2D2 uses them to maneouvre in the Vagabond ship in the absence of any gravity.

Wouldn't it qualify for the "Cash for clunkers" program?

Go ahead Mr Murdoch. You won't be missed.
same situation for me, but portable firefox works just peachy from a flash drive for your other.. um... research.
