There are currently 646 MPs in the house of commons. Not that I'm cynical or anything but was this bill brought through the house at the beginning of a general election campaign for a reason?
Nothing, of course, can replace actually carrying out experiments yourself when learning chemistry. As well as the excitement of some of the experiments it teaches you that an experiment never really goes "wrong" as such, just an unexpected / unplanned result (was it your setup or the assunotions that were wrong).
However, a great site for watching experiments and learning about the elements is periodic videos. They have a video on each element and lots of experiments that are perhaps too dangerous for a school lab.
Although I agree that Windows/IE bugs are probably less now, Flash wasn't even mentioned in the article! It was java and Adobe reader that were mentioned as the main culprits
I worked for a company that ran a birth/death/marriage certificate site. People were having problems logging in, so we kept a log of passwords that did not result in a successful login.
We found that one of the most commonly typed passwords that was denied was "case-sensitive".
Needless to say, we soon took off the "Your password is case-sensitive" text from the login page.
If an American citizen has data stored on "the cloud" (be it email, documents, images, videos). Not all of that data is necessarily stored in the U.S. In fact, the citizen may have a video on the cloud that is split up and stored across the cloud in different countries. How does that fit with the 4th amendment. If their data is stored in another country, I'm not sure the U.S. could get that info without permission of another government.

LOL. We could have yoctoyoctos or even yoctoyoctoyoctos.
"... bytes, which is powers of two ..."
The "B" in "1x10^12B" does refer to Bytes. Had he used a small "b" it would have been bits (which are binary and can be measure in powers of 2).
The example represents 1 PB (PetaByte)
It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned!
Shouldn't it be set in Dundee since that's where it's written. :-)
People call me hydrophobic but it's like water off a ducks back to me.
There seem to have been loads of updates recently
Diamonds are extremely hard. Does that not make them useful?
I'm number 6, no, number 1...
Erm, ... no!
In what universe does 1x10^100 (or 1e100) = 1?
"A politician is a liar and a cheat until proven otherwise."
So you don't believe innocent until proven guilty is part of a healthy democracy and legal system then?

It is true. I would even name the company but that might get me on trouble.
all I'll say is I am based in Scotland.

Do you do standup in clubs anywhere.

I think you will find it is called bicken!
That reminds me, I must go and Bing "Bong"
"... the headings are enough most of the time ..."
Sheesh!
Rate parent up please!
Phonics? Bleugh! So you can't spell then, I assume?
I was taught the roots of words and why they are spelt the way they are (as well as some rules of thumb and memorized exceptions).
I think that, "... never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of tapes ..." would apply nicely here!
If you RTFS! it says, at the end of the first line for god's sake: "Movie studios will be able to set their own prices" But this is slashdot. Ho Hum!
Even if you were the false positive and given an all over body search?
