Coke has fewer calories per ounce than orange juice, apple juice, or milk. Granted, it has none of the health benefits of any of those, but it's probably not making you fatter. Plus, the caffeine-induced twitching is good to burn off a few more.
I can't tell if you're joking or not. The dollar is not defined in terms of the cent. The cent is defined in terms of the dollar. It's 1/100, hence the name. You don't need pennies for cents to have meaning.
Yes. The only thing I know of that they can't walk on is dry-erase marker lines. I believe whiteboards are OK, but they'll fall right off of any part with marks on it.
companies???? do you mean company's ???? between this and all of the thens where there should be thans, what the hell is happening to gramar in American English?????
If only you had asked, "What the hell is happening to spelling and capitalization in American English?" Then your situational irony would be complete.
Internet is just telephone communications. No different. Treating it differently isn't wise.
They're not treating it differently. Show me an employer who doesn't mind employees spending all day on the phone making personal calls. That's the problem. Like you, they don't see the difference.
Except for pornography, movie ratings are voluntarily enforced, and you obviously haven't been paying attention, because people do complain about them. Carnival ride size restrictions are also voluntarily enforced, but that's a stupid comparison anyway. Protecting people from physical danger is not censorship.
I've used AIM and IRC excessively in the past few years, and it has led me to getting a nearly perfect score on my English SAT exams.
No, it hasn't. I'd be willing to bet you didn't learn a single word or skill from AIM that was applicable to the SAT. Most of the important vocabulary words are picked up in reading, not every day speech, and the reading comprehension skills for the SAT are drastically different from what you would use in conversation. You can't even say it didn't hurt, because you have nothing to compare it to.
Why does there need to be an alternative hypothesis if there's a chance the first hypothesis is correct? It's not like this would be the first experimental confirmation of general relativity.
And a null result is easy. All you need is the absence of gravity waves when you observe an event (like a collision of stars or black holes) that should produce them.
Here in the great US of A we're not allowed to touch booze until a full 3 years after we're allowed to shoot others in the name of the goverment, vote, and buy porn.
Now, if anything pans out, that is another thing...
It won't. The whole concept is pretty ridiculous. The patents says these things have to be heated to 450C, which they did at 50C per hour, probably to avoid cracking the balls and/or the fuel tank. That means it takes 8 hours of warmup time to get your car started. It would also take a lot of heat, which probably wouldn't be easy to reclaim. And on top of that, how would you know when you're empty?
I know it's best to be open-minded about research like this, but the temperature problem is inherent to the operation of these spheres, and a fuel level indicator is a basic necessity in a vehicle. I can't imagine a simple way to overcome either one.
I think most people misunderstood Google's statement, which I'm guessing the Serverspro legal team specifically intended. Google claims the results can't be filtered. The lawyers say that's not true, because they can filter the search terms. The two are obviously different. Unless I completely misread it, Google was saying that you won't get suggestions if you search for "porn," not that you won't get any suggestions that contain the word porn. Filtering indivual search terms would be a lot less complicated than filtering the millions of indexed web pages.
I remember an old theory that the moon keeps Earth from boiling over by sweeping away much of the atmosphere over time. I wonder if this is still considered a significant factor?
I don't think that's possible. The atmosphere tapers off about 18 miles up. The moon is 240,000 miles up. At best it would shift the atmosphere a little bit off center.
According to one of the five linked articles, it contains silicon and silica nanoparticles. The same article mentions that the problem is only in the aerosol version of the product, not the spray pump. It could just be the propellant causing the problem, but that seems pretty unlikely. I don't think they'd have to resort to using an unorthodox propellant if you can use the stuff in a spray pump.
That said, two years later we did manage to take some silly life-sized papier mache bull from one of the Caltech dorms, and then invited those nerds to come party at West Dorm, where the bull's head was mounted prominently above the dorm lounge entrance. Only a few of those nerds cared enough to show up.
They did steal Leathermode (the cow hide hanging in the lounge) in retaliation. I think they tossed it out of their car on the way home when they realized where the terrible smell was coming from.
I think that maybe a bill forcing politicians who pass unconstitutional laws to pay the legal bills associated with striking those laws down. Of course that law would also be unconstitutional, so I guess that it would never fly.
They released Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday, my favorite Genesis game of all time. That's enough for me to forgive any number of shitty sports games or indentured programmers.
I checked out the new AbiWord yesterday because it has a grammar check.
Well... the grammar check still isn't ready for prime time.
I use a great grammar check add-on for all of my word processors. It's called High School Education. The free version is a little buggy, but it always seems to work for me.
A modern games costs about $60-70, depending on where you are. DVDs right now are around $10.
The games going for $60 are the brand new, big name titles. The movies going for $10 have been out for over a year, and even then, it's usually only the independents or the bombs. The big releases come out at $25-30, whether they're good or not. National Treasure has been out for 10 months and it's still selling for $20. So let's not pretend you can get 5 new movies for the price of 1 new game. If you wait a year, the hit game and the hit DVD are about the same price.
No prize money, just the medal. This is a U.S. government thing. There's no way any significant prize would be approved by Congress. http://www.technology.gov/medal/
He asked to be traded. They didn't walk into his office and say, "We traded you for a cartoon character, pack your shit and start walking." He wanted to work for NBC, NBC wanted him, and this was ABC's price for letting him go.

So WTF does this have to do with global warming? Or does the concrete break down CO2 also?
It breaks down methane and other hydrocarbons.
So according to this new evidence, the planet's surface could be...~500 million years old. Bwuh?
That's the old evidence. The new evidence is further down. It says the lava deposits are not deep enough for the old theory to be true.

That's 4 years after you can buy porn.

I wasn't bragging, hell I'd give my left nut to be a 19 year old 'n00b' again.
Being 19 wouldn't be nearly as fun without your left nut.
No screenshots, but they both got fancy new 3D icons.

So make it a constitutional ammendment.
