.. some forms of Tea is also high in Antioxidants.
Green Tea and White Tea, but I think the term bio-active components is more in place. Concentrations are dependent on the quality of tea as well and how it is prepared. Same goes for coffee.
Agreed. The Dutch voted against the constitution the first time (which was a surprise to the government, especially since they invested million in a semi-propaganda campaign) and weren't given a vote for the revised treaty because the government feared a rejection again.
Democracy 2.0. Give people a vote if you think they'll agree with you, take the vote away when you fear disagreement.
I might have forgotten Daihatsu and Subaru as well. But for all three, I can't say anything about their reliability. Couls be good, by I know the previous ones as leaders in reliability.
that beats azian cars! Problem is: they do not exist...
Shouldn't that be Japanese cars? Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi are all Japanese. And German cars come pretty close. BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes all make petty reliable cars.
Except you don't use 6 euro memory card with 4GB capacity if you are a professional photographer. They're too slow and fill up fast if you shoot in RAW and in high resolution (which is likely if you're a professional). Memory cards used by professional photographers are about 10x to 20x more expensive.
Windows 7 won't really be much different than Vista.
Isn't Windows "7", just Windows 6.1? While Vista was 6.0? I can't imagine that I was the only one that laughed his ass off when I saw the 6.1 build numbers for something that is marketed Windows 7.
I think that is a bit over the top, millions. A 1TB drive, will be about 930GB when formatted. That is 930.000MB. Say your average MP3/AAC is 5MB and costs about 1 dollar, you could stuff 186.000 dollars worth of music on it. Still a lot though.
Question: Can you insure a harddrive based on the price/value of it content?
From a purely ideological perspective, there isn't anything wrong with communism. But in practice it utterly fails due to incompetence, corruption and selfishness. From a purely ideological perspective, there is a lot wrong with capitalism. It thrives on selfishness, inequality and stupidity but it works better than anything (well, credit crisis aside).
Too bad the article only focuses on legal downloads and such. I'm pretty sure that the long tail effect does exists, just not in the paid download market.
Should have Googled for posting. Nearly all European countries use the Long Scale, some use the Short Scale but with milliard. In fact, the UK is the only European country to do it differently (why doesn't that surprise me, the bloody bastards still drive on the wrong side of the road too). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
I live in Europe (Netherlands) and last time I checked a milliard was still a 1000 million and a Billion is a thousand milliard. Perhaps the UK changed its definition, but the French/Dutch/German speaking nations haven't. No clue about the rest of Europe.
Which ones aren't? Ralink has that famous will-randomly-disconnect-wpa-connections bug. Broadcom has the issue with not having open drivers. Which leaves Atheros? Marvell?...
That approach is wrong as well. Whos says I want or only want to connect to certain pre-selected peers? I don't need or want a tracker doing that for me, I'll do that myself.
QoS and Throttling is not the same. Threating VOIP with a higher priority as BitTorrent is not a problem and noone could care less if you do (I do that myself). Dropping BitTorrent-packets in order to make room for VOIP is another ballgame and only (needs to) happen when your ISP has overbooked its network to such a degree that bandwidth is scarce. Overbooking is not a problem, unless you do to such an extent that your pipes become clogged.
The whole issue with melting internet and smoking routers has nothing to do with BitTorrent, Youtube or whatever protocol/app you prefer. It is bad management, poor investment and limited competition of ISP's. Which is why this is not a global problem, but only affects certain markets and ISP's.
It also fails to note that broadband now makes up about 95% of all UK internet connections, which is the highest uptake in Europe.
You might want to reread what you wrote and think about it. Just because 95% of ALL your internet-connections is broadband, doesn't mean you have the highest uptake in Europe. You need to have a lot of internet connections as well. Unless 80% or more of all households has broadband, I doubt your even in the top 5 of Europe.
Aside from that, I read here that some providers have an 1.2GB/day cap. That about 15KB/s an entire day. I don't think anyone will consider 15KB/s Broadband anymore.
(60e6 * 1e3 kcal) / (c^2) = 2.7931967 grams. That is about a factor 1000 less.
The largest H-bomb ever build/detonated, the russian Tsar Bomb, was about 50MT, but capable of 100MT. I never heard of anything larger, but is/was there?

E) Game producers turn pirates into paying customers and embrace distribution methods people prefer without harassing them. Reality is that most people pirate stuff they wouldn't buy in the first place. No loss there except free marketing. The only problem is people pirating stuff they would normally buy. But with a good product, good support and harassment-free incentives to buy the product, you should be able to turn those people into paying for products.
PS:
D) Games move to Steam. Everyone wins...except for those boycotting on principles.
Personally, I don't like Steam for the simple reason it annoys the hell out of me. I can't start games without Steam throwing ads at me for products I don't care about and it increase the loading time of games significantly. Impulse from Stardock is much better in that respect (disclaimer: I purchase most of my games through Impulse. I used to buy games from EA, or well, the studios it has taken over, but I can't remember the last time I did).
Quantum of Solace in Digital Cinema. Astounding quality.
Quantem of Solace, is that the new James-Bond-movie-that-again-fails-to-be-a-James-Bond movie?
Digital Cinema is nice in the sense that it delivers a very crisp image without the normal signs of wear, but it is "only" 4096 x 2160px. That doesn't beat a good 35mm film, let alone 70mm.

It is also the alcohol. Low to Moderate amounts of alcohol can have healthy effects as well; http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/10/1974569.htm. As long as you're not alcohol intolerant of course.
IBM is in Ireland too.

using Lotus Symphony which isn't OOo but it uses the Open Document format.
Doesn't Lotus Symphony use forked code from an older release of OpenOffice?

Since ISPs pay for inter-ISP data and get intra-ISP data "free"
Inter-ISP data can be free as well. Google Peering.
