"If you do not upgrade with the first year (July 29, 2016), you will have to purchase it."

But what if you don't want Windows 10, and would rather stay with Win 7 ?

At least until Win eleven comes out..

Theres a short story by Isaac Asimov

The Last Question

And does your ISP allow 'unlimited' uploads?

"What is it with the metric ton of medium.com articles"

IMO the "metric ton" should be called a MegaGram (it is after all one thousand KiloGrams)

and of course the article should be on light.com rather than medium.com

so how long does it last if you don't put it in or near water?

"The actual measurement, from TFA [nature.com], is 2.8x2.8 square micrometers"

That doesn't make sense unless its 4 dimensional.

I think you mean 2,8 micrometres by 2.8 micrometres (which is 7.84 square micrometres)

They couldn't afford to pay Will Smith for that many sequels

whatever turns you on I suppose

I thought Top Gear had ended, after Jeremy Clarkson had a (literal) fight with the producer.

Negative matter?

That is a completely different issue
This is about the company paying tac on its profits, not about them collecting sales tax (called VAT in the UK) for the governments.

Anyway sales taxes are bad, they discourage people from spending especially in the official economy.
Since Amazon started collecting sales tax on customers in my state I have directed most of my (non=digital) purchases to other retailers, mostly Tigerdirect and Newegg.

So this "feature" can be disabled by the user?

Or should we just disable auto-update and stick with version 38.0.1

The other important thing about gravity is distance to the mass
when you're on a mountain you're further away from most of that mass.

if there was a mountain that was 40,000 Km tall you could jump off it and never reach the ground

this is obviously some strange usage of the word "stable" that I wasn't previously aware of.

The problem is that most states and the federal govt do not get enough money from gas taxes to fund roads, bridges and other transport infrastructure.
Apparantly just increasing the gas tax (while gas prices are low) is not politically possible.
