* Water may be used to extinguish packaging fires if batteries have not ruptured; water is not an effective extinguishing agent for a battery fire.
That pretty much confirms the GP's post. As for why? Lithium is a strong electron doner, as such it will react quite well with almost anything containing oxygen, just like any element on the far left of the periodic table. Another good example is magnesium.
Dell was HUGE news (maybe a year ago?), there was also Toshiba (the only batteries that didn't actually catch fire, but were recalled anyway - the just suddenly, and unexplosively stoped working). I think Apple, HP/Compaq and Sony themselves would also be on the list.
Although, I will say this - Linux does a lot without being told, depending on the distro (Gentoo is the only distro I've tried that does less without being told than FreeBSD), but the distros that do a lot without being told, don't always do the *right things* without being told, is another problem.
All I know is that once a week I got a complaint of a corrupted mail box. I could only fix it by going in, and deleting a certain message. It varied which message, but I would make a back up, and delete them one at a time until I found the right one, copy the backup to the original, and then go in and delete the correct mail.
Reasonable, though with my current experience, HP is one of the few companies where given the choice, I'd still pay the Apple premium (and then replace the OS).
Agreed, this list has three disqualifiers for taking it seriously:
(1) Tux must be removed (2) The sock puppet and Bob must be added (can't think of what should be removed, maybe the Java mascot, which is neat if pointless looking)
Addendum - the article I read said it was 1.6G, not 2.25, which is even more reasonable.
Also, the thing to remember is, 2.25G would make sense if it had the same radius as earth, a larger radius with the same mass will decrease the surface gravity because the surface is farather from the center of mass.
After thunderbird destroyed my local mail store once a week (admittedly I could go in and fix the mailbox files by hand with some effort, trial, and error), I went back to KMail in KDE and Outlook Express in Window, both of which have never had corrupted mailboxes in my use of them, and I have been using both much longer.
I thought Apple had fewer software options for most tasks than Windows, at least it has always seemed that way to me.
Likewise, BSD has fewer software options for most tasks than Linux since it has less development, so why does Linux take the OSS business market instead of BSD?
Note: I don't intend this as a flame at all, I like one of the OSes that this says should do good based on the logic, and I don't like the other. I like one of the OSes that looks like it should be bad in this comparison, and I don't like the other. I'm just saying the arguments logic doesn't seem to add up to me.
1) Uncomfortable for the first generation of colonists, the following generations could deal with it better, having been born into it, and thus built muscles for it.
2) Isn't the moon tidal locked to Earth? Isn't mercury tidal locked to the sun? I thought neither had quakes (I'm asking the first, not as a sarcasm, but really because I thought it was true, but I'm not anywhere near certain enough to state it as fact).
Given where I live, and many of the people I know around here with the same oppioin, the only way RR is gonna be number 1 here is if they pay people to have RR.
And those people will then get WoW, SBC/Ameritech or dialup connections and use those for better performance/reliability...
"Up to" is sugar-coated for "You can't expect any better than this" with a implicit translation of "It can get a whole lot worse".
Ex: If CPU X get "up to" 100% more performance than CPU Y, but in all tests but one, actually has 1% of the performance, I'd rather have CPU Y.
"Up to" means nothing to me, except as an advertisement for the competator; whichever has the least unpleasant average and worst case performance is the one I'm interested in.
I wis simply replying to the GP's comment on going to jury duty so you can be an 'informed' juror instead of a the jury only being clueless schmucks - except modern legal procedures don't allow informed jurors.
I'll admit, I didn't RTF, mostly because my thoughts are - if you are dumb enough to use unsecured wireless, you deserve whatever you get.
A post involving links would be at least +3 informative -1 offtopic worth!
Still, being visually impared, I doubt there's anything to fix the one problem that I find makes it unusable... That menu bar stuck at the top, rather than with the applicationw indow involves a lot more head movement.

Everyone would.
Actually, I don't think they'd care if she looked at the battery or not.

Their batteries...
She could look at the battery in a commercial, and it would burst into flames. She would then say her catch phrase in her normal-brain-dead manner...
The other manufacturers were news as well.
Dell was HUGE news (maybe a year ago?), there was also Toshiba (the only batteries that didn't actually catch fire, but were recalled anyway - the just suddenly, and unexplosively stoped working). I think Apple, HP/Compaq and Sony themselves would also be on the list.
You know, I know this, yet I probably wouldn't have thought about it untill after tossing water on the burning battery myself...
Very good point on such a hot topic...
I think you hit the nail on the head there.

Actually, you can kill Firefox in windows too... But you have to kill the process not the task sometimes (sadly, yes, there's a difference).
I've had to do it several times, especially when running it with java applets.

or since the guy is so over-used in tech, even if not technological - the enzyte guy...

I'll second this...

3) Only if it's tidal locked.
4) Again, that is reliant on #2.

except prices have gone down a lot recently, and depending on the store, there could be quite a bit of overhead.
Normally I hate the "fixed" style replies, but...
fixed.
The assumption you make is that we made that assumption.
I only made the comment in respect to cases where technology was a critical role, as a reply to the GP.
Maybe you should calm down and stop making so many assumptions yourself.

CPU can be average... Sorry, not sure how I missed typing that.
Such 3rd party apps exist?
