Who's 'Inductive'?

Why are they charging for EVs to be tested in Berlin?

Obi-wan, upon hearing that Yahoo had been bought by Microsoft, clutched his head, sat down suddenly and said:

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and kept on crying. Can't someone do something? There's never a Death Star around when you need one."

Have any of you simulated an iPad, to see what size it's going to be? I have and love my ipod Touch, and was fully planning on getting one when they came out. But, I wanted to make sure it was going to fit the pockets that I'd be (or attempting to) putting it in. I cut a sheet of paper to the iPad's dimensions (Height: 9.56 inches (242.8 mm) Width: 7.47 inches (189.7 mm)). It's HUGE! Well, relatively speaking. I have no pockets that it would fit into. It's not going to be blowing any ebook readers out of the water at that size. If I were in school, toting around a book bag anyway, it'd be no big deal, and probably a good choice, but, for me, it's too large. A 600x800 screen in a 7.5x5 inch form factor would have been perfect, which is about the size of the reader I got instead.

At home I have two computers, one with two monitors, and one that shares the right monitor, keyboard and mouse via a kvm.

At work, one computer two monitors. And, as that's where the majority of my time is spent, I chose one computer two monitors.

I had heard that this book was supposed to be out in September, so I reread the entire series in August. Then I found out it was supposed to be November. Now I find out it's been out two days. Anyway, despite the slowness in places and repetitive annoying idiosyncrasies, I've enjoyed this series. Jordan had a visual manner of writing that immersed you in the story. Or at least immersed me. I look forward to getting it on the way home from work.

it's not like a game where they can take their ball home, and there's no game. You can make your OWN ball... If you can't get into a FOSS project because they object to 'cooties', then think up your OWN project. AND let them in even with THEIR 'cooties'. Heck CLONE their project and run it the way you see fit. Whoever you are.

I've been caffeine free for years, as I would sometimes NOT drink a caffeinated beverage for several days and would get migraines. It was just easier to quit all together than drink them all the time.

I have water delivered, monthly, in 5 gallon bottles, and have a dispenser in the kitchen. I buy cases of bottled water, periodically, and use them till they break (or I lose them) filling them up from the dispenser. It costs me about $USD 15/month.

There are voltage regulators that can drop/boost the voltage to a predetermined voltage and do so with 90+% efficiency. Look for 'buckboost regulator' or 'switching regulator'.

When I saw that iPod my first thought was "Batter up!"

I voted radically different in that I'd simply have it adjustable for intensity and direction.

Amish people do not watch television. To me that is all the evidence I need right there.
