So is the summary (I didn't RTFA of course) misleading by continually referring to NAND flash having this limitation? Doesn't it also apply to NOR flash? OK, I just looked at the Flash entry on wikipedia, and it appears that it's even worse for NOR flash.
Interestingly, I recently heard that the Nissan 350Z is one of the most (if not the most) dangerous cars on the road today - not because of any design problem with the car, but simply due to who drives them and how they drive.
. ..and I'm not helping: I won a spelling bee by spelling "evanescent" correctly in seventh or eighth grade. I didn't know what it meant 'til later, but I figured out how to spell it.
I find Celestia harder to use for sky-watching than Stellarium, but as you say, better for "flying around" the solar system and universe. Stellarium is better at simulating what the sky actually looks like, when the sun is setting etc. I like them both, but they serve different purposes, IMO. For star charts alone, Skymaps.com are good and include the major events of the month.
Offtopic, but doesn't the (non-hybrid) VW Jetta diesel already get nearly 50mpg? BTW, Intel isn't sitting on anything - they're doing all they can to ramp up 45nm with good yields. It just takes time, just like 65nm, 90nm, et al. did.
Not fluent in Japanese, but I know some, and your username happened to be one of the words that a colleague taught me while out to dinner in Japan. I don't remember why - maybe there was something on the menu? She showed me the kanji for it by writing it on the paper wrapper that the chopsticks come in, something that happens a lot when I dine with Japanese and Chinese people, for whatever reason. Ki o tsukete!
I've got a Kyocera CD player I bought in 1989 that still use regularly. Made in Korea. Quality.
First CD player I bought was a Sony Discman in 1984 or 1985. It didn't last so long - only a few years.
I am very glad to know that, as a big Richard Strauss fan and hornplayer. The score of Alpensinfonie calls for, count 'em, twenty horns! (and four Wagner tubas).
What's with the "AQUA" stuff? Why don't they just say "WATER"? "AQUA" is Latin and sounds all medical and fancy?
Heck, why don't they go all out and say "HYDROGEN OXIDE".
"err, it tells us the size of the charge."
Err, no it doesn't. Charge is measured in coulombs, not volts. One coulomb equals one farad of capacitance times one volt of electric potential difference.
Have you ever noticed that 12V car batteries come in different sizes? Do you think maybe the size difference is related to a difference in how much power the battery is capable of delivering? The difference between the batteries lies in their differing internal resistance, which determines their limiting current flow.
The fact that batteries are labeled by voltage is not the whole story.

As another (amateur) classical musician, I never considered that he [hey!] might actually be dissing Mozart. I think he was just being sarcastic, saying you could judge Elton John fairly by everything he did before age 35.
Of course, I'll agree, there's not much comparison, and it sort of forces you to imagine that somehow Mozart would have gone downhill and started writing stuff like Candle in the Wind after Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, and the Jupiter Symphony. Not bloody likely.

to drive the demand for more RAM, HD space, processor power, etc.
Yesterday I put 2GB of memory into my cell phone, giving it about ten times the storage of the first desktop computer I bought in 1993.

instead of politics? a lot of stuff goes under the category YRO when it isn't at all. This time it makes sense, but they don't put it there.
Have you? What was it, one of those ones you crank by hand and squeeze the clothes through rollers?

Yeah, those registry entries are huge files that just fill up tons of space on my hard drive. That's why I'm constantly deleting them!

Don't be a sour plum! Oh, sorry.

Keeping in mind, of course, that those are fictional movies, not documentaries.

Maybe they smelled like mothballs or had pumice in them or something.
For dry skin? What's better, the plain soap? I know you were in a hurry to get first post, but do try to elaborate when you have useful information.

Informative? You people are sick. And I mean that in a good way.
For crying out loud, you're missing important plot points.
Carl Sagan said on Cosmos that we are "star-stuff", but close enough.
You are confusing LEDs with lasers. The light from LEDs is not monochromatic or spatially coherent.
I don't know about where you live, but I can tell it's not America. Here business convinces government of things, not the other way around, usually.
FWIW, My ThinkPad has some software (along with an accelerometer) to protect the hard drive.
