GE Unveils Fridge-Recycling Behemoth 52

An anonymous reader writes "It wouldn't be out of place at a monster truck rally. Forty feet tall and capable of eating up and breaking down 150,000 used refrigerators annually, the new UNTHA Recycling Technology (URT) system at the Appliance Recycling Centers of America's (ARCA's) facility in Philadelphia is an engineering marvel. At an event there this morning, GE and ARCA announced that the URT system is ready to go to work on its first old fridge."

Agreed.

I'm studying software engineering (same course as computer science till third year). 1/4 of the course chose computer science because they somehow figured that being good at WoW and other games meant that they would be good at and enjoy computer science.

Most of this 1/4 are within the lowest 1/4 of the year.

It doesn't. How could it, without communicating with a central server for the arraignment of the choices.

He ran it for 10,000 times and came up with this graph:

Position I.E. Firefox Opera Chrome Safari
1 1304 2099 2132 2595 1870
2 1325 2161 2036 2565 1913
3 1105 2244 1374 3679 1598
4 1232 2248 1916 590 4014
5 5034 1248 2542 571 605

Looks pretty significant to me. Chrome was in position 5 almost 10 times less than IE was.

It is enough to change it in your router or DHCP server if other machines on the network get it automatically.
Your router normally acts as the DNS server, and forwards requests onto your ISP's or google's.

This is not true. "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
