At first glance I was shocked at the acceptance of ebooks this implies. On further thought however (and without reading the article) this could as well mean that 38% don't read at all. Or have a more complex opinion than can be stated as a preference.

I refuse to believe that 38% of any population actually prefers those slow to flip through ebooks.

Thanks. I'd prefer a solution that doesn't have steps 3 and 4 but I guess I could give this another try.
I tried that a while with a laserjet 1000. but i couldn't find any paper that transfered the toner reliably. now that I have a laserjet that can control the amount of toner used i may give it a try.
Could you explain to a non-native speaker what thermal resist paper is? It's not that stuff that becomes black when heated, is it?

wake me up when i can finally buy a cheap printer that creates circuit boards.

pi has a fixed value that you can calculate with increasing precision. that doesn't make pi grow. if you calculate the value of pi by getting closer to the value from above it even seems to shrink

Weird. I never noticed an increase in Pi.

but still I want to see the existing footage now. The teaser clip is pretty cool. Apparently this is not about getting up Pike's Peak but getting up fast. If there are ethical issues showing the helicopter footage at least show the footage from the cars onboard camera that surely exists.
This is so much more exciting than the stupid soccer bots with their Robocup.

Indeed, your inlaws aren't the only ones that leave those stickers on. In fact I think people might get angry if Laptops stop shipping with those stickers. After all how is it supposed to go fast if it isn't red?

What's even worse than peoples' attachment to those stickers is their attachment to the foil covering the panel thingies on remotes and all the tiny display screens. I keep peeling those off, telling them that they are a protective measure for production and "look how shiny it is now
". Still most panic when I do it to their devices and demand I put half peeled foil back.

I hate those foils and what they do to people with a passion.

if you cared to look at your own link, you'd see that it is about patching files without the need to reboot. On a running system the kernel is entirely in the memory.
Also the statistics Microsoft is giving aren't impressive at all. From your link:

The following examples demonstrate possible savings from reboot reduction:

        * Of the 22 updates that shipped for Windows Server 2003 RTM between April 2005 and August 2005, 15 of them required a reboot. Eight of these could have been hotpatched. This would have reduced the number of reboots by 53%.

        * Of the 14 updates that shipped for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) prior to August 2005, ten of them required a reboot. Four of these could have been hotpatched. This would have reduced the number of reboots by 40%.

It seems to me, after some googling, that while Windows actually does have mechanisms to patch functions of the in-memory kernel and libraries, that what hotpatching means in the context of Windows is pretty much a normal upgrade without a reboot.

isn't it obvious? get Robert Picardo to pose.

Could someone please come up with sources?
I looked it up in my school's grammar book and wikipedia. Both explicitly allow the combination of pronouns with contracted auxiliary verbs. But neither forbid the use of contracted auxiliary verbs with real nouns.
I'm not a native speaker - but it definately doesn't sound clumsy to me. And this obviously is a situation where informal use of a language is quite appropriate.

As much as I think "there, fixed it for you" comments are moronic this time I had to: "Depression is usually a treatable illness." I have an aunt who has been suffering with post-partum depression for more than 15 years. She's gone through treatment. She's tried dozens of medications. She goes through the highs and lows that I guess are not uncommon with depression, but the highs rarely last. Thus far, treatment hasn't been able to do anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if the phone manufacturers know that they can get away with using crappy crystal oscillators and just re-syncing the time regularly.

Well, yes, but they already get a packet from the tower every minute or so, which already has the time in it.

I suspect most of the inaccuracy in your phone is, in fact, inaccuracy in cell towers.

For example when I review the WHO's stats, I don't see negative numbers for the United States. I see that we Americans are ahead of the Europeans and the Russians and the Chinese. How? Simple. When I treat the European Union as a single united government under a single president (because that's what they are now that Lisbon Treaty has passed), I see this:

(1) San Marino
(2) Andorra
(3) Singapore
(4) Oman
(5) Japan
(6) Colombia
(7) Saudi Arabia
(8) USA
(9) Israel
(10) Morocco
(11) Canada
(12) Australia
(13) Chile
(14) Dominica
(15) Costa Rica
(16) United States
(17) Cuba (the have government healthcare; why aren't they higher?)
(18) Brunei
(19) EUROPEAN UNION
(20) New Zealand ...
(115) Russia ...

(129) China

It sounds like the root flaw actually lies in your own login implementation. I guarantee that IE is capable of handling sessions. If you have a website that makes you money, you should realize a couple points: First, most of your userbase runs IE. Having the site unusable in said browser is very bad. Second, special casing code for IE is a fact of life in the web development world, and you should just get used to it.

If you look at the temperature from outer sky you might measure the heat emission from earth to outer space. The higher the temperature, the higher the heat emission. If a greenhouse effect is effective, it reduces the heat emission and thus the temperature. In this scenario there would be a lower temperature in the upper atmospheric region as long as until a new equilibrium is reached, with higher temperatures at the surface of the earth.
