The 3D mouse is featured in this video. It looks sort of like a robotic arm. To use it, you have to hold your arm forward without resting it on the table top. I don't see how you could use it for extended periods.
From Investor's Business Daily, February 2, 2006:
Exxon/Mobile: 10.7% profit
Yahoo: 45.5% profit
Citigroup: 33.4% profit
Apple: 22.7% profit
Furthermore, who do you think is on the receiving end of the profits?
From
The Distribution of Ownership of U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Companies:
"These data, along with previous analyses that we conducted, further suggest that ownership of oil and natural gas company shares is broadly middle-class."
* 42.7% are owned or held by mutual funds and other asset management companies that have mutual funds. Mutual funds manage accounts for 55 million U.S. households with a median income of $68,7006.
* 27% are held in private and public pension funds, and these funds manage assets, directly or indirectly, on behalf of 129 million pension-fund participants whose accounts have an average value of $62,280.
* 14% of oil and natural gas company shares are held in IRA-type retirement accounts
So if you have a mutual fund or pension you most likely get some of the oil company profits, you evil bastards.
The article wasn't clear if this was something specific to the GIF format. Could it be used with PNG, the supposed GIF replacement?
The article implies that the GIF/JAR file has to be from the site you are logged into. Could it come from a third party ad hosted by the site? If not, then servers that upload image files could just convert the images to some standard format (png,jpeg) before serving them out again.
A digital picture is also just encoded binary data or just a bunch of little dots printed out. But if your picture is of a $20 bill and you try to use it like a real $20 bill, you're going to jail.
Which part of "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech" you don't understand?
Libel != freedom of speech. If you damage someone because you knowingly made false statements about them, they can sue for compensation of those damages.
I tried a search for a unique item. Search terms: "Geforce 6150 nforce 430 socket 939 review". There are only a few motherboards with this configuration.
Results:
Yahoo: 10+ pages returned
Google: 10+ pages returned
Cuil: 0 pages returned
The first 20 links returned by both Yahoo and Google were all relevent to the search. About 30% of the first 20 links were returned by both search engines. The results from Yahoo had a few more from "expert" sites, eg: motherboards.org. The results from Google had a few more from "commercial" sites, eg. Amazon or NewEgg.
Based on this particular search, I would prefer Yahoo. In practice, when I am searching for in-depth information, I'll use both Yahoo and Google, but skip Cuil.
If losing federal tax credits is truly "Another threat looming over the solar industry", wouldn't federal corporate taxes be a threat looming over every other industry as well? Therefore shouldn't taxes be reduced or eliminated on all corporations? Taxes are a cost of doing business for corporations. The cost of doing business is passed on to the consumers and stockholders.
Oil is a global commodity. Unless a country can produce all of it's own oil and the government has control of the oil industry, there is nothing the government can do to control the price.
Cars can also be powered by compressed air, created with electric powered compressors.
They can run on hydrogen, split from water, by electricity... and so on.
If people think that oil companies are evil and greedy because of their profits, then they must think that the government is really, really evil and greedy:
"Exxon earned 9.5 cents on every dollar of gasoline and oil sold, cashing in at every stage of the process." Yes, ExxonMobil cashed in by investing and working to get their product to the retail customer while the federal government collected 18.4 cents per gallon in tax for doing nothing. Federal, state and local taxes total an average of 46 cents per gallon -- significantly more than the 28 cents Exxon earned on a $3 gallon of gas." - http://newsbusters.org/node/5120
Fiberglass does not cause mesothelioma. Currently the only know cause of mesothelioma is asbestos. Fiberglass fibers are thick enough that your lungs can eventually expel them, but they can damage your lungs in large volumes by clogging and cutting tissue. Fiberglass will not split into thinner fibers like asbestos does. The thickness of the fiberglass fibers also keeps them from getting deep into lungs.

because when these cities were founded, water ways were the most advanced way to travel and move goods.
I doubt that your 70-year-old in-laws would be using Linux either, but that doesn't make Linux impractical or irrelevant.
So the tree falling in the forest practically does not make a sound. Thanks for clearing up that age old question.
If the universe is truly infinite, then even if our solar system is a rarity, there is still an infinite number like it.
Most of America has a much lower population density than your neighborhood, making bicycles and public transportation much less practical.
Lying in order to harm another person is not protected speech.

Gamers sure seem to drive the video card market. You see this in every video card review, "But can it run Crysis with all video settings on high?"
Who are you to determine what a "fair" profit is?

This is the whole point of contention. Do they really make the world better or do they make it worse?
I wonder how many endangered species would be affected by having solar panels covering their habitat?

The GainClone! I've been wanting to build one for years. Looks like the hardest part of builing a gainclone is the power supply.

This talk of photoshop vs. gimp is superfluous to the article. Nobody is going to run photoshop on a $300 Acer laptop.

HijackThis detects many keyloggers. Also the workaround to most keyloggers is "cut and paste". Nothing gets recorded but Control-c and Control-v.
