Classic.

My N900 plays flash video pretty well on the standard MicroB browser. Youtube is seamless. Slightly bigger, less optimised players like megavideo can be made to work with a bit of simple overclocking. Even iPlayer works OOTB.

You can pretty much always improve your grade by cheating. Also, some people's intelligence is not that well trained to passing exams.

Hmm. The only reason it stuck is because we had gone round, raping and pillaging half the world. But anyway, Greenwich sounds so much better than Zulu!

Your analogy with

isn't really right. That is a standard use of English grammar, which you can then convert into a standard piece of mathematics notation.
It is ridiculous to expect an education system to teach outside of the standard mathematics notation. I mean, where would you draw the line? You just can't teach every possible wacko notation, and I don't know how you could choose which to teach between a bunch of incorrect notations. Also, teaching non-standard notation is bad for society, because it would propel the use of it, thus increasing the problem.

Well, where I come from (England) they do not do that automatically, especially not in a murder trial. There would be a lengthy trial to try to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you did it. Of course your plea would be factor into that decision, but would not necessarily be conclusive. There are many instances of people protecting loved ones, being blackmailed, etc... There are many possible scenarios where somebody could be entering a false guilty plea.
Only if there is no evidence to suggest that someone else did it, and there is no evidence to contradict your claim (i.e. somebody saw you elsewhere at the time of the murder) could a guilty verdict be reached without any evidence to support it (except the plea).

Well, given the fact that most stories you hear on such internet forums are complete codswallop, I think it would be very hard to get a conviction on a 19 year old who was bragging about how fast he drove his car. Most numbers uttered by a 19 year old have to be divided by 3 before they are close to the truth anyway.
A stupid number of people would be in prison if police could go round internet forums (4chan would be a good start), read some nobheads cock and bull story about how he once smoked 42 ounces of pot in 2 seconds and put him away without any evidence to back up the story.

Please don't feed this troll.

I don't infer from "fastest card ever made" that it will be the last card made.

No of couse it doesn't fix the problem. Its just a response to problem to try and reduce its affect. Everybody ends up getting the same amount of money, surely that is better?

Doesn't really matter which way round it is taken, it still costs more for domestic partners than married partners. You can call that extra tax.
Anyway, that's beside the point. Fact is it costs more, and that is discriminating against both homosexuals and people who just don't believe in marriage.

What are you suggesting it is? A plot by HTC to somehow retrieve private data from its customers? Seems pretty far fetched to me, and it is quite a leap from the evidence presented here. I think occam's razor suggests this is a mistake. Not a small one, but I can't see that it is anything else.

Hmm, it does make life easier viewing youtube (i know there are other ways like html5, but that is still rather clunky), iplayer, etc... I would be very happy with adobe dropping support for flash entirely. Then we would very quickly move into a much more preferable situation. But dropping support just for the 64bit is a bit annoying, as it wont really push content providers to move away from flash, but it will unfairly hinder a (small) section of users.

This discussion is getting very far away from the point I originally made

Is rather at odds with

If the underlying meaning of your statement was that keeping it in a closed container was difficult because of the differences in volatility, viscosity and chemical stability, then why did you word it in such an absolute manner? Or not make any hint to the reasoning behind the statement. If you don't do that, someone is going to come along and point out the flaw in your statement.

I was not offended by your not pointing out all the problems, what is irritating is when you respond to my critique of your point as if you had already suggested that there were possible solutions. It is also rather infuriating when you try to nitpick my point, when it was entirely correct, and therefore make an incorrect statement, and then accuse me of splitting hairs when I point that out.

That is rather interesting. In the non-synthesised world is this carried to the nose as a solid, and then dissolved in mucus? Or is it dissolved in moisture in the air?

I'm splitting hairs!?

Not only is that attempting to split hairs, it is also wrong.

You are shifting ground. No where in

do you hint at material selection or seal problems. Reading through your post, the implication is that volatility isn't a problem that had to be overcome with printers.

As for different viscosities; you could mix them with additives to reduce volatility and viscosity.

One of the main problems with ink jets was clogging, because the ink has suspended solids in it, so as it dried it left gunge on the head. You would not have this problem with scents as they will evaporate completely.
Also they do not need to be fired accurately only a piece of paper, they just need to be allowed to escape.

Something like an aerosol can is a good example of how volatility and viscosity wouldn't be much of an issue. You can have extremely volatile and low viscosity chemicals (for example propanone) contained within a canister, under pressure (making the whole thing even harder!), yet it can all be effectively held back with a simple, cheap valve.
