The problem with "cooling in Europe" is that it assumes that one-time weather events can be extrapolated into global trends.
Yes, the cloud of ash may in fact causing cooling due to the extra shade, but with all that seething hot, erupting lava, the atmosphere is just going to get hotter.
I gotta take my shirt off.

Volcanoes are Earth's pimples

You geeks should probably have a clear concept of how volcanoes work. It's like a gigantic pool of molten sebum seething and swelling just under the surface of the earth. When this sebum reaches a vent or finds a weakness in the skin, it erupts pus and bacteria all over. In some areas, these "pimples" are very common. Many can be found on or near the so-called Ring of Fire.
After erupting, the area is still tender and prone to subsequent eruption, but a treatment of peroxide and salicylic acid can help clear it up and prevent infection.
As I was saying, just because one volcano calms down on one side of the Earth, another volcano may be getting closer to eruption on the other side (Yellowstone). If you think pimples on your face are bad, wait until you get one on your ass.
ARM is severely underpowered, even when comparing to Atom. So it doesn't make *any* sense that MS is considering it as a server platform.
However, ARM excels at low power consumption and mobility. This would allow a new array of "server helper" devices that had needed quick handling of light tasks. Maybe something like packet routing or on the fly network topology auto-configuration. Another concept could be mobile cache points which would be somehow networked to the main servers and provide "smart caching" of data for light user requests.
Who knows. But to think that ARM is going to somehow best Intel's chips in the server market is crazy.
They can't force out of state companies to collect taxes for them. That would be illegal.
However the tax must be paid (akin to a customs fee) upon entering the state. But since there is no feasible way for the state to know what is passing into its borders, citizens are able to avoid paying the state sales tax (or use tax in this case).
The answer to your question is yes. They need the personal information to pursue the purchasers individually.
Interstate trade regulation is one of the few enumerated responsibilities that the American government has. Its role is to step in to solve precisely this type of dispute. This would be a grand opportunity to decide once and for all whether internet purchases can be practically taxed, or whether the whole of interstate commerce law is a sham.
North Carolina shouldn't be demanding this type of information from Amazon, but the citizens of NC shouldn't be skirting the law and avoiding paying taxes either.
Gerardo made a song had one really catchy lyric. Even today, just saying the word "Rico" will get people to at least think "Suave", even if they don't know *any* of the other song lyrics.
Having seen such 3D screens that don't require glasses, I'm not sure those are going to sell well either. They will cause some people to have epileptic fits and others to have migraines, though, so that might be good for a laugh.
Then again, who knows? Those screens may actually not be vertigo-inducing by the time they get to market.

Joseph Smith once said that a man with one wife was blessed, but a man with more than one was cursed. I guess he meant that as the supply goes down, the more profit can be realized per unit.
Apparently you've never watched cows grazing out in an open field.
I saw one open a box of oreos and eat it right in the aisle at Safeway. She was sitting on a scooter, so that probably changes the whole exercise dynamic, though.
it is irritating to get my head behind the equipment where the SN is stamped, only to find that I can't read the numbers because they're too close for me to focus.
Mayhaps, sir, you've heard of the new scientific field of Opticks? I dare say that their vast array of elixirs may hold the key to resolving your sight.
The phone is still too big for those of us who want to use it for jogging. There are plenty of apps related to jogging, not to mention the whole "portable music player" feature. But the phone is just too bulky to take jogging.
Something a quarter of the size would be great. Keep the resolution, but shrink the whole thing by half in both dimensions and you'll keep perfect compatibility with existing apps.
I'm sad to see that this looks like more of the same old same old. It'll be another iPhone that I have to pass up because it just isn't what I need.
For all intents and purposes, Google can implement this themselves and do whatever they want without the help of anyone else in the named list.
When people start saying "for the good of all", they typically mean they want someone else to foot the bill. Of all the weirdo ideas I've heard, Foursquare has got to take the cake. It's really no wonder the CEO is enthusiastic about sharing this info; he stands to gain a huge database and backend for no cost. I suppose when you're bleeding money and you're known as the second coming of Gary Kildall, it might be to your advantage to act enthusiastic about everything and anything that might make your company look better than the crappy Web 2.0 service it really is.
It could be much worse. You could have all that legacy crap left in the OS bloating up the system and wasting space.
Windows Mobile may have a backwards compatibility advantage over iPhone/iPad/OSX OS, but really, do we want to start holding a Microsoft OS up as an example of something done *right*?

Avatar is the Rico Suave of 3D technology.

Then again, who knows? Those screens may actually not be vertigo-inducing by the time they get to market.
But I doubt it.
3D will never really take off until they can figure out a way to implement it comfortably without requiring the ridiculous glasses.
This fad will pass soon, hopefully, and we'll stop thinking about how cool the technology is and be back to thinking about making playable games.
So if someone is eavesdropping, I won't be able to watch the video?

I'm not sure I want my cows exercising. Their muscles will get tough and stringy.
It may be a bit more expensive and resource consuming, but fat, lazy cows are what I want.

This is just a hypothesis.
Based on what?
government's insane minimum requirements for the number of publications a scientist with a government grant must have.
Do you have any information to back up this assertion?
