What people seem to forget is that point-source pollution is much easier to deal with than distributed pollution. It's not that we don't currently have a nuclear waste disposal site, it's that we have many disposal sites located around the country, usually in more populated and more geographically unstable places. Even if Yucca Mountain isn't guaranteed to be ideal for eternity, it would be easier to deal with there for the simple reason that it's all been gathered in one place. If it was possible to overcome NIMBY to get these plants built in the first place and continuously store waste there, it should be possible to overcome NIMBY at Yucca Mountain.
That being said, the IM client certainly wasn't free from spammers, but it wasn't any worse than other IM clients, including the ones still popular today (Skype, Facebook.) There were still a large number of people using MSN right through the very end, including myself. If it were still running, I'd still be using it. As crappy as the newer MSN clients were, there *were* patches out there to remove the ads and such, and you could connect using Pidgin or other third-party clients. I can't say as much for Skype...
MSN Instant Messenger got a bad reputation as being related to the system service named "messenger.exe" which was an entirely separate thing for sending messages to other machines on a LAN.
I couldn't even log in with Pidgin anymore, a few weeks after they locked out the official MSN client. I got some kind of error about the connection failing. This was all a couple years back. As far as I know, MSN has been dead for quite a while.
This is in Houston. In the party-type situation where you need to roll up a bulk amount of weed in a fashion that it burns slower, blunts are used. The upside to that is it becomes "two or three blunts", not "five or ten joints".
tl;dr on the whole post BUT... I've had my iPod nano in daily use for the past 8 years and it's still going strong. True, it doesn't need to power any motors - but the design specs probably also allocate a lot less weight to the battery.
I'm in the US and have been a daily potsmoker for the last 8 years (barring a few months break). I have never seen tobacco mixed into a joint, not once... it seems to be a European thing. Now, there is the practice of using cigar wraps to roll a "blunt", and sometimes those cigar wraps are made from tobacco pulp, so that could be seen as mixing tobacco with marijuana. I prefer not to smoke blunts, either.
Scraping the crystals (technically trichromes) off cannabis is how hashish is made. Dissolving it into a solvent, then evaporating the solvent, gives liquid hash oil (also called honey oil, dabs, wax). Dabs are becoming more prevalent within the past few years as they are theoretically healthier, having a better ratio of plant material to THC. A recent issue of High Times featured a method of extracting hash oil using drinking-grade ethanol, instead of butane which was the formerly used process. Not only is it less likely to explode, it also placates people who are arbitrarily afraid of "chemicals", so I see dabs gaining massive popularity within the next few years.
What should they be doing to "attract women"? For that matter, what are they doing to "attract men"? Could it be perhaps that the nature of encyclopedic editing appeals more to men? No, that'd be too easy and go against what feminists and their cohorts have been beating into me for decades... must continue with forcing "equality" through perverse incentives instead of promoting equal opportunity and cooperation between men and women...
It's better than the Chrome dicksucking in Firefox. You know I actually used some of those menu items that got hidden, things like "reopen last closed tab" and the history menu, that don't have buttons available...
If you want eye candy, I'm sure it's skinnable, but you can't put back lost functionality.
I've used the NTSC filters since they started showing up in emulators, and they definitely look more appealing than unfiltered video - but for this to be a sound comparison, I suggest having both images be the same size.
Lol, are you for real? I guess you've never accidentally backed out of a driveway with the parking brake still on - it's definitely possible and not particularly hard to do either. If the car is already in motion, and the throttle is floored, that brake won't do much at all. This has been my experience with both foot- and hand-type parking/emergency brakes across different manufacturers on 1980s through 2010s models.
It's possible for bits to flip, at least in consumer-grade PC hardware, from normal background radiation. I'm not sure what kind of hardening, redundancies, or error correction were used in Toyota's systems...
I dunno how DLC works on consoles, but in the PC world, DLC is actually installed to your computer and is generally playable whether or not the developers are continuing to run some kind of server for the game. Even in those devilish games that do use "phone home" DRM dependent on an external server, there's always a crack available to remove that DRM. Even supposedly "unbreakable" DRM like Assassin's Creed 2, which stored your save games on Ubisoft's servers. IIRC it took about 1 week for a crack to be developed for that. In fact, I've never played it without a crack.
I'm having a hard time imagining a situation where waterproof and temperature-resistant would be significant factors for enterprise-grade storage. The storage isn't left out to the elements, and localized issues like broken A/C or a burst water pipe might kill a hard disk, but there should be backups in at least a separate room, if not a separate facility, where it would be isolated from those types of issues. Also, even if you can submerge a blu-ray disc without damage, I doubt the blu-ray drives take kindly to having water poured on them.
Perhaps no one's said it here yet, but it's definitely what I was thinking. The last episode of MythBusters I downloaded focused on Star Wars myths - things like "Is it possible to swing over a 40 foot chasm with a grappling hook?" and some others that were only marginally more interesting.
This was also the first episode I've seen in say 5 or 6 years. I did watch another just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but the other one sucked too. I was stunned at how much suckage the show developed - even 5 years ago I think I could feel it slipping, which is why I stopped. If it were just the filler and time-wasting content, that would be one thing. But they have clearly run out of actual concepts to test, as well.
Maybe it'd be better for them to save the myths for one or two episodes per year.
Top Gear definitely does the recap/preview thing though, and not always at the beginning of the show. Admittedly it is done much more tastefully than the new Mythbusters. Commercials and the recaps are separate issues, but they can both combine for a multiplicative annoyance.
This mishmash of overlapping but non-integrating state, federal, and private health care systems, each party taking their cut and adding another layer of inefficiency, is "decent health care"?
It stands as a mark against GM's corporate culture and their handling handling of the situation from both an engineering and PR perspective. Similarly to the problems with Toyota's acceleration pedals and all the backtracking that went on there.

The specifications for this mission were that the rover should last 6 months on the surface. Currently we are at over 100 months.

When did they become an EU company... perhaps when they set up servers and other operations in EU territory?

I'm reminded of the song "Red Barchetta" by Rush, look it up if you're not familiar and don't hate classic rock.

Personally I prefer the Hurdy Gurdy Man.
This is exactly what I was going for... the system that is being implemented currently can be described as "the worst of all worlds".

Looks like someone doesn't know the word "attitude" has a very specific meaning in the field of aeronautics...
What a load of rubbish. Fahrenheit degrees are intuitive for those who grew up with them.
