No idea where you got that link from, but as the Fine Article says, the eclipse actually "begins at 6:36 p.m. EDT (2236 GMT) in southern China." And it takes some time for it to move eastward from there to the US; it didn't start where I am until some time around 7:00pm CDT (8:00pm EDT). While I didn't depend on
You obviously don't know what "marginally" means. Here, I'll paste a definition for you: "close to the lower limit of qualification, acceptability, or function : barely exceeding the minimum requirements "
So you said that a 100Mbps RDP connection is close to the lower limit of acceptability or function, and that ltwally repeated what you said. However, that is not the case--ltwally said that a 100Mbps RDP connection "is rather more speed than is necessary" for function. That's pretty much the opposite of being at the lower limits of functionality.
That chart showed up to a 30minute wait in London! I don't ever remember waiting longer than 4 minutes to take transit in Bangkok, and they're considered a developing country.
What? When was the last time Bangkok hosted the Olympics? Never? In that case, how is your non-Olympic Bangkok experience at all relevant to London during the Olympics? I'm sure you'd have long wait times in Bangkok too, if they were hosting the Olympics there.
As amazing as this seems, the IRS (and many state and muni tax agencies) have in fact figured out how to produce a form-style PDF that can be filled in ENTIRELY electronically. The IRS does make you do the math yourself, but I am sure you can find an open source calculator to help with that, right?
While the IRS does provide PDFs, if you're OK with Flash, they also provide a version that you can fill in electronically, and it'll do the math for you too: Free File Fillable Forms. No income limits either.
That being said, I would like the IRS to come out with some basic tax forms which do the calculations and look up by itself. i.e., you would still need input the numbers, but the simple “multiple by 28%” and “Look up income in tax table” would be automated.

The Passat does, the Golf and Jetta do not.
Is the 2012 Passat not one of "The current Volkswagen TDI's"?
The current Volkswagen TDI's for instance, are 50 state legal (including CA), and don't require urea.
Low sulfur is nice, but that doesn't affect NOx, which is what the urea is intended to take care of. According to VW, the 2012 Passat TDI models "use a special catalyst and urea-injection system that reduces NOx emissions by up to 95 percent. Filled by a 4.9 gallon tank located inside the trunk, the injection system delivers a range of approximately 15,500 miles."
So as you can see, current TDIs do require urea, and the tank will need to be refilled multiple times over the life of the car.
You forgot another option: he's right and you're unable to rebut.
As an SPLA provider I can confirm there IS a win7 license available under SPLA.
Huh, maybe you should let Joe Matz, VP of Worldwide Licensing and Pricing at Microsoft know, since he says, "However, it is important to note that SPLA does not support delivery of Windows 7 as a hosted client."
He also mentions, "We are actively engaged with OnLive with the hope of bringing them into a properly licensed scenario, and we are committed to seeing this issue is resolved," which implies that OnLive is not currently properly licensed.
I think what set them off was the Erlenmeyer flasks. They seem to scream mad scientist to non chemistry people.
Erlenmeyer flasks (and much of the other glassware you mention) are illegal to possess in Texas without a permit--and in order to get a permit, you must allow the police to search your house (or place of business) unannounced: The Precursor Chemical Statute
Oh, and is a GPLed implementation of PS, but (AFAIK) you won't find that on an actual printer.
Off-topic side note that I was reminded of when I was thinking of Ghostscript... Artifex quietly dropped their MuPDF GPL infringement suit against Palm a while back. There was a lot of reporting on the original suit, but nobody seems to have paid attention to the outcome. Apparently, Artifex found out that they can't actually license code under the GPL, but then impose additional restrictions on it (like require money) when a big company uses their GPL code.
I can't find any references to this before January 2012, although maybe the recent news flare-up has drowned the older stuff out.
Or maybe it's just now made it to the English-language media. Here's an documentary from 2008 in Chinese about the kid. It turns out his night vision is a bit better than normal, but it's not that much better. The doctor says he probably has a form of ocular albinism (which is known to cause both sensitivity to bright light, and slightly improved night vision).
Blacklisting doesn't work because the next version of the standard, such as Unicode 6.1, may introduce more undesirable character ranges.
It's not difficult to update a simple file/DB entry/whatever to add more characters to the blacklist. Include a little util to parse the UnicodeData file and automatically blacklist all control characters. But even if you wanted to go with a whitelist instead of a blacklist, there's no reason for the whitelist to be as small as it currently is. And then there's what I assume is a Slashcode bug where non-ASCII characters that are in the whitelist don't come through properly. I've seen numerous posts where a stray character gets included. I don't feel like looking for examples right now, but I don't think people are all making the same consistent typos.
Couldn't you be bothered to google?
http://ipv6.cybernode.com/list-of-ipv6-only-sites
Almost none of those are actually IPv6-only sites... they're IPv6-only DNS records (i.e., AAAA with no A) for sites that are available on both IPv4 and IPv6.
I could go on, but you get the picture... it looks like there are only 2 IPv6-only sites on that list.
