"The reality is that advertising... saves customers money."
Amazing, that must be why pharmaceuticals are so inexpensive.
Increased market share reduces cost to the consumer? Where is the maximum on the curve, because clearly a perfect monopoly does not result in the lowest cost to the consumer, since it can charge whatever it wants. Your comment got modded funny, but maybe for the wrong reason.
Fastest? Lemme guess, when you make an HTTP request it goes to some website with a database of all webpages cross-referenced by which rendering engine is fastest for each, then it opens the site you asked for with that particular engine.
Yes, I was annoyed. I was at 999 comments and this makes 1000, but my comments page no longer says how many comment I made...How can I ever prove I wasted all that time?
Almost 50 years of operating many nuclear vessels with reactors with much higher power densities than civilian reactors all over the world and not one significant reactor incident would serve as contradictory evidence to your statement. Did some nuke piss you off in the past or do you just have an unusual definition of common sense?
Close - 50% are below MEDIAN intelligence. If the distribution is perfectly symmetrical and therefore the mean equals the median, then your statement is correct.

If by "virtual memory", MS does *not* mean the page file size, what do they mean, given that I can set it (on XP at least) as low as 2MB?
Perhaps 1 W of electrical power into a loudspeaker does not result in 1 W of acoustical energy transmitted. Probably much less I would guess.
"Construction" doesn't mean building [solely] houses.
What do you think this is, Wikipedia? [citation needed][weasel-words][and stuff]

Yes.
I suppose you could put it and a humidifier in the same room and let them fight it out (Steven Wright thought of this first, IIRC).

From Bladerunner? Awesome.
Wow. No reactions to this? I'd at least mod up as Interesting if I had points now.
What's that saying? "Old age and treachery shall overcome youth and vigor every time."
Or some such thing.
Of course, as I found out after collecting some data in a thread with a similar topic not too long ago, /. UID does not really correlate with age.
I'm American and I love it. Like some other people I know.
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
Why do you use it daily if Mathematica is better?
Maybe, but it sounds better than OSX Water Buffalo.
Tidal forces also cause an orbit to degenerate, not just air, although with a toolbag presumably these would be small.
Yes. Innovation, independence, hard work and a sense of justice, among others.
Does BSD stand for Blue Saber of Death?
What exactly IS an astronomical number?
How many moons does Earth have? One.
So, one is an astronomical number.
maybe Transport Phenomena by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. It uses PDEs a lot. Covers diffusion, heat transfer, etc.
I would suggest that marital sex results in offspring more frequently* than pre-marital sex, if you get my point.
*more offspring per "event", on average.
Me too, but I didn't think *that* would convince anyone.
Out of curiosity, when and where were you a nuke?

Neither, it's Wernham-Hogg.
