No it didn't. Where did you get that idea? The second page had more questions, unrelated to the first, that the researchers didn't care about the subjects' answers to. The only reason for the second page was so that the subject would need to flip over the first page, which would cause the questions from the first page to stick to the back of the clipboard, exposing the changed questions on the first page. RTFA.

You mean left lane for passing only? If so, sure we do... Texas Transportation Code Sec. 545.051(b)

(b) An operator of a vehicle on a roadway moving more slowly than the normal speed of other vehicles at the time and place under the existing conditions shall drive in the right-hand lane available for vehicles, or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, unless the operator is:
(1) passing another vehicle; or
(2) preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.

How do I do that? Sure, I can get to the old desktop, but it's just a desktop with not much on it. If I actually want to start a program, as soon as I hit the Windows key, it switches back to the Metro start screen. So unless I'm expected to put icons for all my programs on the desktop or pin them to the task bar, I'm going to have to use Metro. That said, the start screen doesn't seem much different than putting icons for all my programs on the desktop, and feels like a regression from the Windows 7 start menu--I installed SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2012, and instead of organizing the SQL stuff in one folder and the Visual Studio stuff in another folder, my start screen now has almost two dozen tiles on the right, with really pixelated/ugly icons for the SQL 2012 stuff, and no distinction between the SQL tiles and the VS tiles. E.g., there's something labeled "Project Conversion..." is that SQL or VS? Sounds like it might be a Visual Studio thing, but no, it's actually the SQL Integration Services Project Conversion Wizard.

Asus Zenbook UX31 or UX31A? 13", 1600x900 (or 1920x1080), 1.3kg, starting around US$1000.

Here's a /. article from 2002, "ViewSonic shows 200 dpi display", where a number of people think the new-at-the-time 200dpi display is great and long overdue.

I know that ever since I got a laptop with a 133dpi screen back in 2001 or so (1600x1200, 15") and saw how good text looked on it, I've been looking for a display with at least that pixel density (preferably higher) that I can use with my desktop computer. The 1920x1080 on a 21.5" (or larger) screen that's popular these days is a regression and just doesn't look as good (it works out to around 100dpi, or lower).

That's a pretty old blog post... it's from 2007, but ISO 29500-1 wasn't officially standardized until 2008. IIRC, the issues he's talking about were problems with the draft standard that MS submitted. They were cleaned up for the final spec. The real ISO standards cost $$$ to get, but a quick Google search shows that MS has documented autoSpaceLikeWord95 as:

9.7.3.4 autoSpaceLikeWord95 (Incorrectly Adjust Text Spacing for Specific Unicode Ranges)

This element specifies adjustments (detailed below) which should be applied to the spacing between adjoining regions of non-ideographic and ideographic text when the autoSpaceDE (Part 1, 17.3.1.2) and autoSpaceDN (Part 1, 17.3.1.3) elements have a value of true (or equivalent). This algorithm typically results in the following:

• An increase in the inter-character spacing added between non-ideographic and/or number characters and certain full-width characters
• No inter-character spacing between non-ideographic and/or number characters and certain half-width characters

Typically, applications apply additional spacing between ideographic and non-ideographic characters/numeric characters when the autoSpaceDE / autoSpaceDN properties are applied. This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that applications shall apply the following adjustments to this logic:

• Characters in the following Unicode ranges should be treated as ideographic, even though those characters are full-width forms of non-ideographic text: U+FF10–U+FF19, U+FF21–U+FF3A, and U+FF41–U+FF5A. [Note: This results in the unnecessary addition of space. end note]

• Characters in the following Unicode ranges should be treated as non-ideographic, even though those characters are ideographic: U+FF66–U+FF9F. [Note: This results in the omission of the intended additional space. end note]

It does if it's known that the US citizen is planning on importing it into Iran. As the overview of the US sanctions against Iran says:

EXPORTS TO IRAN - In general, unless licensed by OFAC, goods, technology, or services may not be exported, reexported, sold or supplied, directly or indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, to Iran or the Government of Iran. The ban on providing services includes any brokering function from the United States or by U.S. persons, wherever located. For example, a U.S. person, wherever located, or any person acting within the United States, may not broker offshore transactions that benefit Iran or the Government of Iran, including sales of foreign goods or arranging for third-country financing or guarantees.

In general, a person may not export from the U.S. any goods, technology or services, if that person knows or has reason to know such items are intended specifically for supply, transshipment or reexportation to Iran.

Apple -> US buyer -> Iranian would mean that Apple is indirectly exporting from the US to Iran.

You know, there was a link in the comment you responded to that stated the limits. They are above what you'd normally achieve on a commercial/civilian flight.

Maybe Chrome just sucks then, since the rel=nofollow is in fact there for all the links.

Apple had better be careful about pissing off tech savvy people. We are the market leaders. We set the trends.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

While I'm no trendsetter, I am tech-savvy, and would buy the Retina MacBook, except I want a 13" version. If Apple comes out with a 13" Retina MacBook in August, as is rumored, I'll get one.

Any device with thunderbolt has the full PCI bus exposed.

With an IOMMU in between, which the OS can use to protect sensitive memory.

What makes you think the censorship was automated? The article had "locuntur" from when it was first added on 2 August 2011 until a change made by an unregistered user on 26 January 2012. While I don't know why that user made that change, it wasn't automatically done by Wikipedia. So what can be done is for you (or someone) to change it back (actually, someone has already fixed it).

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 /. to tell me about the eclipse, if I did, I would've been informed in time.

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.
