Tell me, during the time you remember (when people would wait for movie critics to give their opinion on a movie before they went to see it) were those movie reviews worth anything at all?
My experience is that your average movie review is a pretty poor metric for how much I personally will enjoy the film.
Well, originally the article mentioned that e-Gold did better than its competitors, including Flooz. It was then ironic that they are having the same problems as Flooz, namely money laundering.
However, it looks like the article has changed, removing all mention of the three competitor companies that it originally had. Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks for the clarification. I think I missed that sentiment in the first post, and had I understood that, I probably wouldn't have posted that response.
My point was simply to show the other way of deducing "spin" or bias from the article's choice of words, in contrast to what you claimed in your original post.
To look at this from the other side . . .
Wow, I've got to love it. Instead of saying "stem cells", they say "progenitor cells." Amazing. Lets make sure there isn't one bit of scientific/medical success linked to the use of stem cells, lest we offend some conservative congressman who will pull our funding . . .
Of course not. But it (compression) will effect a change in volume. And if your 1kg standard is based on a volume of water, then water's compressibility (as affected by atmospheric pressure) will change the amount of water that fits in your standard volume. This would effect a change in mass.
The low compressibility of water means that even in the deep oceans at 4000 m depth, where pressures are 4Ã--107 Pa, there is only a 1.8% decrease in volume.Wikipedia
So the kilogram based on an H2O standard would not change (much) depending on the current atmospheric pressure.
What kind of proactive steps are being taken in advance of any cyber dust-ups? We frequently see articles that talk about security holes used for attacks that could have been closer earlier. Is closing these security holes a priority?
Also, with increasing numbers of infrastructure control systems (power grid, etc) being attached to the internet, is the defense of targets like these being attended to?
However, I think the point is that the Internet started out with the liberating quality that it encorporated both the "right to free speech" _and_ the "right to be heard." You don't have your own late-night talk show on a major network because you can't write up one of those in vi beginning with "" and ending with "."
It's this very quality that people are seeking to preserve when they rail against tiered internet plans. Not to mention the fact that these plans appear to be based on charging the consumer _twice_ for the same information.

Water is pretty close to being non-compressible.

Win release calls itself Firefox 3.0, no mention of "RC".
Never mind, when I installed it, it came up as the release candidate.
I did a diff between the FTP install .EXE and the one I got from here: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US and they were the same. YMMV.
We should all traceroute www.mozilla.com to see where our packets are getting lost. C'mon, group effort.
. . . and the servers DIAF. Surprised?

I'm hoping you told them no - what was their response?
Thats exactly what someone who had been infected would say.
Yes, you are correct.
