I cannot count the number of times that I have been filling out a form on a web page and hit the backspace to edit only to discover that I had lost focus on the form and had the tab slammed shut and all information on the form lost. This is a problem on EVERY version on EVERY browser that I have ever used. Unfortunately this little shortcut does not fix that issue. I don't find backspace to be a useful navigation tool. I want to be able to turn it off or at least have a way to recover the information.

Your brain uses about 1/5 your resting metabolic rate according to this:

You are defining an alcoholic as someone that can only stop drinking if they use the 12 step program. Someone who is able to stop for any other reason is not a true alcoholic.Therefore, Only the 12 step program can keep a true alcoholic sober. And the views of anyone who was not a true alcoholic and was able to stop drinking without using the 12 step program views are irrelevant. I think data obtained with these criteria will be somewhat biased.

Surprisingly little God in them? Have you actually read them? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-step_program) The OP is essentially correct in his summery.

Oh wait.

A better solution would be to simply lease the batteries and not worry about getting the originals back. The lease would cover wear and tear.

I imagine most people would want their original packs back.

This goes for LED brake lights, LED Christmas lights, and LED traffic light, and roadside LED signage.

I find the PWM flicker of LED brake lights _VERY_ disorienting.

Monitors I can aviod.

Home-built cards on wire wrap boards.

And the computer came with a full set of schematics.

Unfortunately, one of the clock phases was missing on the expansion connector.

It is very clear that Debragh is not looking at 'raw' test scores. It is clear that some scaling has bene applied. the raw test scores might have been integers between 0 and 60. Each of these scores is 'mapped' to a new scale that goes up to 100. The mapping is not linear.It may be that a 60 maps to a 100, a 59 maps to a 99, a 58 maps to a 98, and a 57 maps to a 96. That would produce the gaps. the raw test scores would not produce a bell curve either. If it a a multiple choice test, the low end will be skewed by random guessing. It is also possible that differnet school district encourage different groups of students to take certain tests. Very often, raw scores are mapped to a bell curve, raw test scores sledom look anythnig like a bell curve. Think about that. If you are takng the ACT, the differencve between a 36 and a 35 might be missing a single question. However, the difference between a 21 and a 20 might be missing 2 or 3 questiosn.

Uless you can some that they scaling was applied unfairly, that some student's tests scores were adjusteed up and other were not, there is really no indication that there was any wrong doing.

Because when you average it all out, no one really lost anything.

Because it is unrealistic to expect the less academically adept folk to go onto college, get a degree and a job that requires one. It is exactly the same thing as advising the less athletically adept folks to look at jobs that do not require them to be professional athletes. This does not mean that Engineering is only for non-athletes.

The statement should be obvious, but it really is not. In the last several decades we seem to have fallen into the belief that college is for everyone. It really isn't. People need to be told this.

I don't know if you comment is a joke or not.

Neither mA nor Volts is a measure of power. A standard AA cell produces about 1.5 Volt of potential across its terminals. Depending on the application, the current draw (Amps) can be anywhere from a fraction of a microamp to around 1 Amp. The power (Watts) that a AA cell delivers is the voltage time the current, and can be anywhere from a fraction of a mircowatt to more than 1 Watt. The energy (Joules) that a AA cell delivers over its lifetime is the power multiplied by time and is around 10,000 Joules (about 2.5 food Calories). The amount of energy (joules) deliverd depends greatly on the amount of power (Watts) demanded from the cell and is significanty diminised in high-power (Watts) applications.

You can buy special lithium chemistry AA cells for high power (Watts) applications. These deliver the same voltage (Volts) as standard alkaline AA cells and actuall contain about the same amount of energy (Joules). The difference is that they can deliver high amounts of power (Watts) without diminished capacity (Joules).

Brake hard, brake often. And if you are rear-ended at an Intersection in FL, remember that the State has hundreds of millions of dollars in the pot. Sue appropriately.

It does not matter if the intersections actually has a red light cameras, nor does it matter if the length of the yellow at that particular intersection has been decreased. It is the threat that counts.
