No we don't do that. Long distance is usually another country so you use the international prefix in whatever country you are in. In the UK it'd be a 00 (of the + on your phone) don't know what it is elsewhere.

That'd be an Ultrabook as the 'standard' of which you talk for a small light machine, which isn't really fair as the machine will be faster with an i3/i5 and DDR3. But it'll also cost 3 times as much so. The question then becomes will a $250 netbook in 2 generations beat the ultrabook (ie would you be better to buy a new $250 machine when one comes out for 3 generations than spent the same money in one lot now. That's an interesting question but not one many people would care to ask. I don't know but if you find out you can let the rest of us know.

Science is about testing theory against reality, the others need no test. If the theory is wrong it gets debunked with hopefully a better one.

Would Naqahdah bombs provide enough energy for the plan?

I'm not sure what left arm unorthodox spinners have to do with the discussion, this isn't cricket you know.

Sadly the best is still pretty poor, I read it for a while but stopped when their 'new' developments were things I'd heard about 4 or 5 years previously. Some bits are still good but it could be better.

To be honest I'm a Brit with only hazy knowledge of US government, and at least in my head support == vote for, this may be a minority view. If I was a US citizen I'd be spamming my representatives right now, as this shit has got to stop, I doubt it will while corporations have so much power.

Or just remove the copyright from it entirely, pulling shit like this doesn't help us remember the mistakes of the past and so we are wont to repeat them.

By SOPA you obviously mean H.R 3261, or something that NO senators support, it being a House bill. The corresponding senate bill is PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), S.968.

That's not to say that they are all sweetness and light though, they are known to suppress some negative data, so billions are spent repeating research already done by another company. I don't have any solutions, but there are issues with the current system that could be resolved (with regulation, mostly, sorry all you small governmentists).

One can't expect for profit companies to always be entirely truthful if said truth would harm profits, as they are there to make money, it's what shareholders demand.

Do you mean March?

I wasn't aware there was a film only the British TV series, which was clearly far superior.
