Dude, journalists have been harrassing him for years. It's weird that you hadn't heard of the media siege on him, but at least RTFA.

From TFA: "I'll note: this has nothing to do with dark matter. As it happens, 90% of the matter in the Universe is in a form that emits no light, but affects other matter through gravity. We know it exists, and you can find out why here. We know it exists locally, in nearby galaxies and clusters of galaxies, too. This new result doesn't affect that, since the now un-hidden galaxies are very far away, like many billions of light years away. They can't possibly affect nearby galaxies, so they don't account for dark matter."

Not only can you turn off image loading altogether, you have two levels of image compression (with the corresponding reduction in image quality) that the proxy can do for you, or you could it set no compression.

<quote>As far as I can tell Opera Mobile is only available for Nokia & Windows Mobile platforms (same targets as Mozilla is aiming for). </quote>
By "Nokia", do you mean Maemo or Symbian? As the GP poster said, Mozilla have no plans to support Symbian, which Opera does, and Opera does not have a Maemo version. So what do you mean by "same targets"?

There are Symbian and Windows Mobile versions.

Hm, odd -- I think of Informative and insightful the other way around.

Informative: Agree, and I DID know that fact!
Insightful: Agree, and I didn't know that fact!

EDIT: Oh, right, you weren't being serious.

Never mind, I read the details in the Pravda.ru story, it's different. Still, it's The Sun so...

This is form the British tabloid The Sun. I googled a few keywords and found no other mention of this except for a similar story in pravda.ru from 8th April this year, a Russian tabloid, with appropriately Russian names of the people involved and details.

Of course Atheists are charitable. Altruism is a human trait that we perpetuate in spite of any religious conditioning. Some of the most thoughtful and kind people I know are atheists.

Carnot efficiency is defined by the efficiency of a reversible heat engine operating between the given temperatures;

"Heat engine" != direct thermoelectric conversion (whether via quantum dots or just plain ol' Peltier junctions).

The Carnot limit simply doesn't apply to direct conversion, and AFAIK, no theoretical limit to near-100% efficiency (minus entropy) exists for the latter.

Ohhhkaaay. My great grandparents were in eastern Europe at the time. Perhaps Bill's grandparents were half slave owners 1/4 slaves and 1/4 abolitionists. How do you propose to fairly apportion blame and restitution here? And for how many generations?
