There is a difference between new old battery of Li-Ion and battery used but stored. Once a Li-Ion battery has been charged and used its lifetime clock starts ticking. In PDAs the length of usage will decrease after each charge. One contributer to a shorter lifespan of the battery is leaving your device in a hot car. The heat is one of the Li-Ion's greatest enemy.
They do have rechargeable alkaline batteries. Maybe it is a new formulation to make the rechargeable ones have increased recharging cycles before finally breaking down. Believe it or not you can recharge "regular" alkalines. However recharging them is not foolproof. When they are overcharged they tend to leak a liquid or (maybe as they say on the label) explode. I haven't exploded any of my alkalines yet. When they go below a certain level on my old Pda (handspring) I am experimenting charging them in a NiMh a pair of AAA at 2.8 V at 200mA no longer than 25 minutes. So far I've had one leak and slighly messed up my charger....
Quote from article: "I contacted Raymond about the issue, and he tells Ars that he was acting under Library of Congress Regulation 112, which says that "the use of the Library's name, explicitly or implicitly to endorse a product or service, or materials in any publication is prohibited, except as provided for in this Regulation." For Raymond, the issue here is that Harper was critical of the Library's own work in a way which endorsed his own; as Raymond puts it, "the use of THOMAS in the Washington Watch press release in a negative way is clearly used in the context of endorsement, rather than general criticism."
Raymond claims that he has no intention of trying to silence critics, and points out that the Library's blog has opened itself to reader comments, critical or otherwise. His concern, rather, is "in the context of marketing and endorsement." My comment: It is not an obvious solution, Washington Watch wants to take it to court to determine the validity of the Law. Raymond the bureaucrat wants to be protecting himself (his job entails enforcing rules made by Congress) and the LOC in emphasizing that there is a law not permitting the use of the LOC in any marketing scheme.
Now if Washington Watch is a non-profit organization then I guess there would be no marketing scheme....
What part of majority rule you don't understand? Go to a ghetto and disrespect them and see if free speech is allowed? Or Go to redneck country or anywhere you don't have a majority of people who believe what you believe and try to shove your opinions into their heads.....
I think you love to feel right, not always are we on the right side and in fairness you should try to tolerate it, just like I am tolerating your sassyness, because I don't think you are worth bothering to be corrected by me....
Some possible problems solved: 1) Instead of text books they can carry e-books....a) A Pda, some phones, Ipods and gaming devices like PSP can also do it.........i) No more heavy burden for students. 2) Access to internet files........a) teachers can't copy them because of copywrite?....b) Libraries and subsidies for home computers could be given. 3) Actual Computer usage is learned if a laptop is used......a) This effort is negated if no supervision and training given....b) Will schools also subsidize dsl too?...c) Can the laptop be taken back if it isn't being used properly?
Yeah if there is a wormhole there should be an exit to a wormhole somewhere in this universe. When tons of matter appear out of nowhere, then I would believe in the existance of a wormhole. Until then all the black holes are really just black holes and not wormholes.
Now where does all that matter that enters a black hole goes to? If the gravitational field increases as matter is added then that means the matter is still there. However if rays and energy is shooting out of that area then that means matter is being converted into energy.
Looking professional or camera crazed will miss a lot of candid shots. With my obscure pda I can take more photos without the camera shy covering themselves up.
Computer software geeks meet the Big Drug companies. If you Google enough you will find that the lawmakers were in bed with Big Drug Companies who wish that Patent rights laws were stronger.
As opposed to software and other user generated innovations that build upon the writings and methods of those who have gone ahead in the discovery game. Computer development is linear, you can see how each company leapfrogs another and soon the king of the hill pushes everyone off of their mountain.
Drug companies claim that they discover a certain formula and test the hell out of all side effects before coming to market. They spent all that money and want to be reimburst for the money spent on failures and developments.
Two industries with different methodologies and financial successes yet both are in the same patent boat. There ought to be a law but a King Solomon hasn't decided nor is likely to solve it soon.
For those who don't know about the Shakers, they are an off shoot of the Quakers and lead by a Woman. In some ways they were fed up with the marriage system. Running life without marriage increased their productivity.
But in the long term reduced fertility is strongly correlated with the industrialization of a nation. However if a child friendly government is voted into office you can see some increase in population (Germany and Russia are increasing incentives to reproduce)
Interestingly enough is the pro children policies of Mormons, Catholics, Tenrikyo(Japan) and other religious beliefs. I may sound a bit like the crazy Mr. Cho but in some ways the decadence of hedonism will contribute to low birth rate also. Those non-sacrificing hedonist co-workers? They are contributing to IT Women quiting.
Ah but the amount of satisfied customers increase if you don't outsource the work. Most customers can tell if it is in India or Philippines. And the IT workers may not be that efficient as compared to veteran workers (or workers supervised by veteran/knowlegdable management/supervisors.
Competitive IT industries push it to the edge and there is no room for breakdowns and poor customer services,i.e. hence emergency hours that play havoc on child caring parents/workers.
What happened to all those jobs in which you can work at home with? The training that is supposed to support via phone/internet is supposedly right down this type of work. Its not like the boss has to look over your shoulder all the time. Furthermore all e-mails and other work is easily documented isn't it?
One of the most controvesial part of Wikipedia is the Religion parts. Some posters have a vested interest in a position and some live and die by some of the points. The very nature of controversy is the use of every trick in the book to prove or cite why their position is probable.
Unfortunately you cannot censor out controversy, just post a warning that the whole article is a work in progress. Even political wonks have been caught editing their patron's wiki article. However the most important part of wikipedia is the use of the history of the article.
So let's look at some of the citation tricks. Use of sources not on the internet is a great way to cite something that won't be immediately checked.Also using sources that haven't been published in ages is another way to be proven uncheckable. Another great source is internet access that requires payment. Most poor students will never pay for research and the ones that can will publish their own rebuttle at a later date. Use of misquotes is another way to verify your statements, if found out you can claim you made a mistake (make sure it is an easy error, not a massive rewrite...)Lastly cite a student's research which only the professor or the school in which the student went to has access.
The tree ring record is even more valuable than ice laid down in Greenland. You have carbondating that will cross reference trapped CO2 in Ice and in tree rings, but the tree ring record can be pieced together to get more of a overall global rainfall record. Ice Core samples are restricted to polar regions.
In addition we have fossil spore records laid down in lake beds that also date back even further than a thousand years. A radical change in spore species tells us about plant extinction, shifting plant speciation and indirectly climate changes.
Now only if the Bush Administration releases funds to piece together all these records, we can then soundly prove that changes will occur to this Earth's climate.
There I said it, no more no less. The CO2 that traps more heat is uneffected by more energy given off by sunspots. To put it simply don't buy any oceanfront property unless you are sure that sunspot activity and less CO2 will be in our atmosphere.
The scientists who have measured "sunspot"activity have also measured the amount of CO2 trapped in polar ice caps. We are also at the highest CO2 level and small scale models prove that a high level of CO2 will prevent a smaller amount of heat to escape the earth's atmosphere.
Will global warming slow? Only if the idiots of earth wisen up and stop producing CO2 at the levels they are doing now.
Huh? I Also worked on a PinYin dictionary in the mid 1970's(offbranch from the CIA Monterrey school of Language) and there was only the official Chinese language of "Mandarin" dialect of pronounciation. Pin Yin is the simplification of Chinese characters plus official spelling of the pronounciation, thus Peking became Bei jing. All condensed down to a popular Webster dictionary like format. We did not have a Cantonese version. Can you explain how there is a pinyin version of Cantonese?
It seems like the writer here is just stringing a bunch of words together. Zonk in his wisdom took an article submitted by a Singaporean who dutifully checked the Google translator for similarities.
When translating into another language one uses dictionaries and popular word usage surveys. There isn't much privy information or exotic subroutines that are used to translate one language into another. It is sorta like picking a keyboard like qwerty as a starting point, it may be arbitary but it supposedly was designed by the popularity of letter use and other so-called reasons.
If Google source of Chinese literature was similar to the other company's word source, we should get some similarities. Since I am not totally fluent in Chinese maybe I am ranting too much from my qwerty keyboard. But if Google provides me a way to translate pinyin to english I am all for it, even though some corners were cut to do it.

"Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said an after-hours customer-service representative initially denied Raye's request for information, but after further review "we gathered enough info to be confident that we would be within the law to release the info to the victim herself."
The ad was online for only about an hour and a half before enough craigslist users flagged it and it was removed, Buckmaster said."
The latest update contradicts what you state. The name of the poster will be revealed and it is up to the police to bring the poster in.
Most likely "family" were evicted because they are drug users, Raye is a cruel landlord or some other reason.
I would have to see the actual ad to determine if the scavengers are at fault for destroying that lady's rental. If the ad said feel free to enter and take what you want (no supervision) then the scavengers are liable for not using judgement in determining the validity of the ad.
I think a judge will allow a search warrant for the perpetrators of this act of desruction/revenge/harm. In addition if the poster had a previous history of mischief then craigslist is also liable for paying damages.
So it is not whatever, there is substancial damage over $10,000 and someone is liabel and will suffer the consequences. And if the person who caused the damage is a minor, the parents will be liable for letting their child run amok....

My brother tries to give zinc carbon batteries in the remotes since they are cheaper to buy and he doesn't have to worry since it is not his remote.
plan. Imagine the new labels New and Improved! However the leap in added power will still be less than Lithium batteries.
If the stocks dropped long enough it would be a good time to make this day a stock option date....
So Will LOC go after Thomas the train engine too?
