OK, so we know now that just pointing out the facts doesn't work. What does? Have any studies identified techniques that actually work?
Picasa stores some things, including titles and tags, in IPTC data within the image files themselves. This is great, since it lets you carry these things around with the files when you move them to another image viewer, etc.
I wish it did the same thing with albums, but album data is stored in a separate file. In principle there are IPTC tags (like "collections") that could be used to record album-membership information within the image file itself, but Picasa doesn't do it that way.
The event horizon isn't wavelength-dependent. It's the place where the escape velocity equals the speed of light.
Black holes that evaporate due to Hawking radiation don't leave behind a naked singularity. They're just gone.
Portable VirtualBox looks interesting, but it also looks like it requires the user to have admin privileges on the Windows machine that's hosting vbox. See the documentation here:
http://www.vbox.me/?path=./Description&file=ReadMe.txt
"VirtualBox needs at least main user rights, there 4 Services

I've used Seamonkey as my default browser for a long time now, mainly because I like the user interface better. Seamonkey 2.0 now uses Firefox's printing system, though, and this is one of the main things I don't like about Firefox. I use lpr for printing, not cups, and I liked the fact that earlier versions of Seamonkey (and "Mozilla" before it) remembered any changes I made to the "lpr command" in the print dialog. Firefox uses gtk-print, which reverts back to the default lpr command every time you click print, even in the same session. I've reported this as a bug in the Seamonkey bugzilla.
Regarding crashes, I've seen another report of this at LWN.
"an unspecified carrier" seems to be AT&T. At the bottom of this page:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/features/techspecs/
is a link labeled "Check the coverage viewer" that points to

...in "Rotating Cylinders and the Possibility of Global Causality Violation", in 1977:
"Einstein's Bridge" seems to be twenty years later.
...and we haven't been back since. Beyond the question of how long it would take a motivated civilization to expand throughout the galaxy, there's the question of "would they bother?". We don't seem to be bothering.
...what does the PINK light that Valis shines on your brain do to you?
For what it's worth, we've had good luck with the Norco disk crates like this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133023
These have 15 hot-swap SATA slots. Each set of 5 is multiplexed to one eSATA connector on the back of the crate. The crate comes with a PCI-X 4-port eSATA controller. We use the crate as Just a Bunch of Disks, but it can be also configured as a RAID array. At the price (about $800), it's very cheap per slot. We currently have two of these full of terabyte disks, and an older DS-1200 (12-slot) with a mixture of disks. They've been very reliable so far.
I agree. Orpie is the only calculator I use. I'd be lost without it.
Memory fault - where am I?
