It's also not available to all people within that area. I live in an area covered by both Telstra and Optus cable, but can connect to neither since I live in a unit. Neither Telstra nor Optus will connect their HFC network to units.
So, if it dies, which new movies will you enjoy?
About as many as I currently do. Basically none.
RTFA. One of the things the guy tried was to put a current draw device between the wall socket and the car and proved that it hadn't drawn any current overnight and that the power consumed had come from the car's batteries.
There's a word for this: fraud.
No, the word is "legitimate". Import duty to Australia basically consists of the 10% Goods and Services Tax, and consumer goods shipped to Australia valued at under $1000 are specifically excluded. This isn't taking advantage of a loophole in the law caused by weird interpretations, it's a very specific exemption.
Celsius? Fahrenheit? Kelvin? Rankine? What kind of idiots are they hiring at Discovery.com nowadays?
When you're talking about those kind of temperatures, it hardly matters. Rock melts at anywhere between 700 to 1200 degrees Celsius. 2000 degrees Fahrenheit is about 1100 degrees Celsius - still hot enough for rock to at least partially melt.
In any case, there are only *two* temperature scales that you have quoted there that result in different answers. The only difference between Kevin and Celsius is the base temperature - a difference of one degree Kelvin is exactly the same as a difference of one degree Celsius. Same goes for Fahrenheit vs Rankine.
But the size of the universe that we can observe planets in is not even approximately infinite. The number of stars within the range we can observe planets in is only about 1e+9 (!!). Small planets like the one in question are much harder to observe and could not plausibly be discovered at that kind of range, so maybe only 1e+6. We have only actually observed the tiniest fraction of that, so much smaller. That 99.99999% would suggest that this planet should not have been discovered. Even if it were 99.99%, I suspect we wouldn't have found this planet. The outliers we're finding at the moment shouldn't be *real* outliers, not in a galactic scale.
You need to learn the math of percentages better and appreciate the size of the galaxy and the universe that we live in. even 0.01% of one million (1e+6) is a hundred planets. Bear in mind that the most distant exoplanet we've detected so far is in a different *galaxy* (21500 +- 3300 light years away) that puts a massive number of stars within range - certainly billions, possibly trillions, not just millions. Remember that there are estimated to be 400 billion stars in the Milky Way alone. Do you truly believe we can only see one out of four hundred of those stars?
When you're dealing with numbers on that sheer scale, you can be fairly sure that even if there's only a minuscule chance of something happening, it will have happened many, many times.
By that reasoning (source site is "biased") one might also say that we can't trust anything Microsoft says about their own product, either
You'll notice that my comparison did not to Microsoft (or it's fans) vs it's own products, it's Microsoft vs a competitor's product.
You can trust that Microsoft will paint their own products in the best light, but you can't trust what they have to say about Linux or OSX will be factual and accurate. The article I was referring to above was titled "125 reasons not to buy a Windows Phone 7.5" - the title alone should tell anyone with half a brain that it's unlikely to be objective.
Except the reality is Windows Phone [was] is not very good, [125 REASONS NOT TO BUY A WINDOWS PHONE 7.5 http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44034%5D.
Referring us to the web site of a competitor's product to convince us that Windows mobile is not good is about as asinine as referring us to Microsoft's web site to prove that OSX is a bad operating system. They're not going to be impartial!
Even if my-symbian.com isn't a site run by Nokia, it's going to be a site run by fanboys who are even less likely to be impartial.
Generally I've found a good rule of thumb is that any republic that includes "People's" in the title is almost always the repressive one.
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) vs Republic of Korea (South Korea)
People's Republic of China (Mainland China) vs Republic of China (Taiwan)
Space exploration is to sea exploration like
There's (forgive the pun) astronomically less chance of surviving a fuckup in space.
Not a fair comparison. What you should have said is along the lines of Space exploration is to sea exploration like a hard vacuum is to many hundreds or thousands of PSI of water pressure crushing you. Either way, you're stuffed if something serious goes wrong.
If you are renting would the landlord be targetted?
Don't know if they would get targeted, but are you kidding? Landlords aren't held liable for anything. They just make risk-free money from rent.
Are you kidding? Unless the landlord is operating a dump he intends to fill with people who have no other options, a landlord is taking a huge risk that a tenant may:-
* Not pay the rent. (not all landlords own the property outright and many have a fairly hefty mortgage on it)
* Cause significant damage to the property and (in the case of multiple occupancy dwellings) others that the landlord *will* be left holding the bag on if the tenants disappear
