While I have great love for the large media conglomerates that hold the copyright on much of what is illegally distributed, I also do not exactly like the idea of starting a business based on taking something else that you had no part in creating, and profiting from it.
Aww crap, should have used preview. I meant no great love. Guess that might have been a Freudian slip
The oxidising agent need not be in the air. Combustible material in a heated condition could release such an oxidising agent, which oxidises a strong reducing agent from the air. Somewhat reverse of what typically happens on earth: heat wood/gasoline/ => release hydrocarbon etc. gases => oxidised by oxygen in air.
In fact, both oxidising and reducing agent gases can get released from heating the same combustible substance, also resulting in similar fires.
If I were to guess, then the atmospheric composition of Pandora is 50% N2, 30% O2 and 19% CO2, and 1% other stuff. I might be wrong about the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen, since I believe the higher CO2 content leads to higher oxygen requirements to support combustion.
Major components of atmosphere are not necessarily elemental molecules. They could be compounds too. I suspect your guess is too much tainted by presumption of similarity with earth's, and a lack of imagination. Not that I have any evidence to the contrary
Wrong. Their lives are important. They're trying to make sure they don't miss the start of "Lost" or "The Biggest Loser."
In Indiana, Most of our Arrow lights are in this configuration or they are part of their own turn lane. Again, if you mistake what the light means you aren't paying attention because the placement of the light itself means something.
At any rate, most of the comments are spot on. If a driver is paying attention the the situation then they should be okay unless they are a total newby to the area or they are in a state of panic.
I concur. Why have a huge box when you can have a little portable machine that is barely slower than a desktop? After over 20 years of strictly owning desktops, I bought a notebook and can't imagine why I never did earlier. Cost was certainly a factor, but now notebooks are damned cheap with lots of sub $1000 machines with decent specs. I went cheap and got an Acer Aspire 14" and the size and weight are pretty nice. 3gb RAM, 2ghz dual core athlon turion with cores from the latest phenom and hypertransport 3 for like $500 and a nvidia 9100m that will at least play some decent 3d games really kind of made it a nice machine. No crappy intel gma here. At this point the only thing I wish it had was a discrete video card, but seing as how the 9100M is at least pretty equivalent to an 8400GS, its a whole lot better the aging radeon 9250 PCI I used for years was. Don't think it will play oblivion all that well, but any games up to 2005-2006 run pretty good. Not bad for an integrated chipset. After 6 months this machine has been super stable, though virtualbox doesn't seem to play when I try to use both cores in a VM, but I'm suspecting it is how my bios implements AMD-V though, and probably not anything with the virtualbox code, though it is one of the things they keep tweaking for stability looking at the changelogs Turning off IO APIC seems to make things nice and stable.
If the shop is so busy that customers are getting pissed off with the queues, then the shop should put on more staff. You attacking other customers for something that is a consequence of decisions the shop has made is misguided.
And besides, even if she has an expired coupon, they might still accept it. She won't know if she doesn't ask! Also bear in mind that for most of the life of your old shopper, the person taking the money could authorise things like taking a coupon, so it is quite reasonable that they ask. What they don't understand is all the modern nuances of working for a big corporation, i.e. the cover-your-ass that has to be played constantly, or stuff will get pinned on you so that the pinner can look good at their performance review.
Some shops are also flexible with coupons, so it is not unreasonable to expect people to knowingly try and use technically invalid coupons. Supermarkets will take money off coupons for a product even if you don't buy the product, so just collecting coupons can give you a discount even if you aren't a consumer a specific product.
Yeah, what a bitch. How dare she actually try and swing a deal to her favour?
In fact, she sounds like a McDonalds-burning anti-capitalist! Probably best if she's locked up.
I agree. Inch by inch, Britain sinks into the muck of totalitarianism. All for the common good.
I've found a method that shuts up those closet fascists who are willing to give away everyone's privacy etc. is to remind them that millions of people gave up their lives in the last century to protect the freedoms we have in the UK, and that what they are advocating is an insult to their memory.
It is utterly emotionally loaded, and even has a sub-text of war is good, meaning that authoritarians simply don't know what to say.
The most closed minded will still stick to their guns of censorship, submitting to authority, prohibition, etc., but it could work to change the views of a few.
Have a google for tips on how to speed things up. The latency will always be pretty huge, but you can do things like increase the number of connections your browser will make at once to a proxy and/or website, and pipelining can help too.
I Google via TOR, and those fucking "sorry, you look like a bot" pages are a real pain. The captcha never works for me, I think because I block cookies, scripts and referers, and one or more of them is needed for the captcha/search to work.
In the end I changed to using Scroogle SSL over TOR. If you are even slightly old skool when it comes to the internet, you will have used a modem. TOR is generally about as fast as a modem connection in the mid 90s. It works, you just gotta have a little patience. And be able to recognise when it's best to redial/rebuild the TOR circuit.
Wrong, the whole UI freezes up with this issue. This issue happens with both tabs and windows. It's been in FF for ages too, and was in Mozilla before that too, IIRC.
He's right about FF being great but having issues. I would go as far as saying it is great, but also shit at the same time.
It has some ongoing issues, but all the Mozilla Foundation seem to be doing is focussing on dumbing the browser down to attract IE users. I think this can be attributed to Google being the major funder of Mozilla (90% or so, IIRC).
