Comment Re:How did it work in space? (Score 1) 67

Yes, I understand that part, but we're talking enough atoms of hydrogen finding themselves in the vastness of space to coalesce into a mass dense enough to start fusing. If we're having these many problems trying to force the issue, how was enough gathered, on its own without being pressed together, to form enough?

I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm simply asking if we're having these problems, how did nature do it? And yes, star formation takes millions of years compared to the decade or so we've been trying to create fusion.

Comment How did it work in space? (Score 1) 67

Here's the question. We are having a difficult time trying to get plasma to do what we want to create fusion. We're using all kinds of magnets and electrical fields and can only sustain fusion for a few minutes.

Someone needs to explain how, in space, with no confinement of any kind, individual atoms can collect in enough mass to produce a self-sustaining fusin reaction.

Now, I sometimes save one copy to the proper folder, then a copy to the desktop if I'm sending an attachment. Then I nuc the desktop copy. Just easier. I do like a clean uncluttered desktop.

Which is what I do. I save it to my desktop so I know where it's at. From there I either work on it some more, move it to its final destination, or send it on its way. They don't stay on the desktp unless there's a reason.

The man has committed so many impeachable offenses at this point, the senate might wake up and convict.

First you have to go through the House. They start the impeachment process.

Second, Republicans are spineless. We all saw what happened the last time they were given a chance to uphold the law and chose not to do so.

Comment Always tell Word where you want to save (Score 1) 132

Unless I am working on a highly specific document, every time I save a Word document I tell it where I want to save it. Usually to my desktop.

However, I see tickets every week where someone says they can't find a document they saved or, more usually, the wording is, "I don't know where I saved it." Those are the ones who will be completely flumoxed over this change unless the admins override.

Comment DVDs are better (Score 2, Insightful) 109

Like books, once you own a DVD it's yours. No one can take it away, alter it, or prevent you from watching when you want. It's always yours.

If these people are really that short sighted not to understand a digital stream of data coming from someone else is not the same as owning a physical copy, one can only imagine what else their life is like.
