In lower gravity everything weighs less, including water. But a drop should be able to grow bigger before it breaks from a dripping tap/faucet and falls. Maybe these two effects cancel out, making the "drop of water" a useful standard weight for everywhere in the solar system.

Yes you can run it on some Linux systems, but under the terms of the EULA many are illegal.
[Flash EULA...] you may not use a Web Player on any (a) mobile devices, set top boxes (STB), handhelds, phones, web pads, tablets and Tablet PCs that are not running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, game consoles, TVs, DVD players, media centers (excluding Windows XP Media Center Edition and its successors) - EULA
It says may not, not must not. You may not eat any turkey this Christmas - especially if you're a vegetarian.
I am not a turkey farmer.
Beneficial genetic changes have appeared at a rate roughly 100 times higher in the past 5,000 years than at any previous period of human evolution, the researchers determined... but almost all of the changes have been unique to their corner of the world.
There are more gene changes because there are many more people today than 5K years ago. This does not mean that the mutation rate has increased. The speed of evolution is how different the average person today is from the average person back then and nobody has more than a few of these new genes.
people today are genetically more different from people living 5,000 years ago than those humans were different from the Neanderthals who vanished 30,000 years ago
Nonsense. The only way this might be true is if you selectively bred a human with all these recent gene changes. Like the Kwisatz_Haderach out of Dune.
Ministers want 20% of Britain's energy needs to come from renewable energy sources by 2020, and see wind power as a major element of it - BBC.
That 20% figure is for all renewable sources, not just wind. For example a tidal barrage across the Severn River might produce several percent of this.
... some of the ugly code in any implementation is to get around bugs in the development system, programs it interfaces with or even the O.S. itself. The inexperienced programmer only sees the ugliness of the end result, they assume that the original programmer was dumb/lazy/old-fashioned...
Damn right. This is a classic case where comments are absolutely essential, otherwise anyone trying to change the code will break it.
Of course, the central point ignored by the greedy entertainment collectors who don't wish to pay for the collection is the underlying truth that if you remove the economic incentive to create entertainment, people aren't going to do it any more.
Fortunately there is an almost infinite number of Internet trolls, fanboys and 1337 haxxors eager to be my personal clown and entertain me for free, no "economic incentive" needed.
The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same Rockefeller Foundation which today is building a doomsday seed vault to preserve samples of every seed on our planet. Now this is getting really intriguing. The same Rockefeller Foundation created the pseudo-science discipline of molecular biology in their relentless pursuit of reducing human life down to the 'defining gene sequence' which, they hoped, could then be modified in order to change human traits at will. Hitler's eugenics scientists, many of whom were quietly brought to the United States after the War to continue their biological eugenics research, laid much of the groundwork of genetic engineering of various life forms, much of it supported openly until well into the Third Reich by Rockefeller Foundation generous grants.
Additional signs aren't required - driving inappropriately close to other vehicles or pedestrians, which these truck drivers must be doing, is driving without due care and attention and comes with 3-9 penalty points
It's not enforced. The cops get their quota of arrests automatically from speed cameras, so they don't need to get out in the rain and arrest dangerous drivers any more.
I never see police stop trucks for overtaking cyclists with only inches of clearance on the road
I never see police stop cyclists for slaloming through pedestrians on the sidewalk
And don't get me started on dog owners who use those ten-foot leashes and assume their mutts understand traffic
Don't do this because your angry rants can be linked with your facebook account and available for data mining. You do want a job after college I assume?

Croft admitted he had made 'an error', and retracted his previous statement, saying that, by 'capable', Microsoft meant 'able to run a version of Vista'."
Capable is very much a vague term, it does not mean 'able'.
Run is apparently also a vague term, it does not mean 'go quickly'
Assuming you retire your Windows install disk and never touch it again, this means there is a reduced supply, so everybody else's copy of Windows becomes more valuable.
If the software industry worked as slowly as justice, and as expensively, we'd be using a $5,000 abacus instead of a computer.
The software industry works exactly that slowly and expensively. Where's my reliable handwriting recognition, voice recognition, artificial intelligence, robot maid, and automatic car? Software is still so primitive that keyboards are a wide-spread input device and buffer-overruns are a major security risk. What has saved us is the great work by the hardware industry, improving power in line with Moore's law. Otherwise your new Vista computer would be a brick.
... so I'd have thought they would avoid cold places.
MS Explorer is sinking after hitting an iceberg - pictures
Explorer lists heavily after hitting submerged ice off of Antarctica and began taking on water - pictures
Apparently it went down, and 150 people had to be evacuated. Not sure what the weird boat pics are about... digg
That's the picture before they inject the added water. It shows a guy moving in with the brine syringe. The turkey will be plenty big enough after he finishes.
Turkey Twizzlers are spirals of mechanically reclaimed turkey meat, water, pork fat and rusk, together with many more minor ingredients, designed to be reheated before serving. The product became an emblem of the mass-produced processed food that [a UK tv chef] wanted to remove from schools. In the wake of the programme, several major catering organisations announced that they would no longer serve Turkey Twizzlers in schools. However, sales of Turkey Twizzlers rose 32%

Damn straight. Part of my job is microsites and if you're on a subdomain of a high status site the googlebot practically DDOS's you. Completely distorts the click numbers. Of course most of the Web is lucky to get visited every couple of weeks.
If some official loses public data, punish them by publishing their data. All of it. And in the first year if they change their passwords and PINs, publish the new ones too.
This would be a useful deterrent, as well as an object lesson for the "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" anti-privacy muppets.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 [2006] (AP) -- The government put a roadblock in the path of the start-up airline Virgin America on Wednesday, ruling that the company must change its ownership and corporate structure before it can receive an operating certificate.
Virgin America currently fails to meet a requirement that a United States airline must be 75 percent owned and controlled by Americans, the Department of Transportation said.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
Bletchley Park also used poems as cypher keys. This is probably the best as literature, but looks a bit repetitive to be secure.
The solution to social networks and spam is the same: *trust networks*... With 3-4 degrees of separation, the people allowed to contact me via IM, email, telephone, etc. would likely include almost EVERYONE who would legitimately need to contact me, while including no spammers.
I legitimately need to contact you to say you're wrong.
There are many "good citizen" reasons to contact people
how do you get through life while refusing to talk to people you don't trust, like - say - government officials, or your grouchy neighbor?
