I understand the debate related to the possible "failures" in critical situations... but aren't there other scenarios where this technology could be useful where it wouldn't really matter if there was a failure. Hunting? Target shooting? In those cases it seems that a system failure would be merely an inconvenience, not a matter of life and death.

I think it still exists?

Yes, the shares are "extinguished." So all the remaining shareholders now own a larger percentage share of the company, because there are fewer shares in existence. I just sold a bunch of shares back to a company... it was somewhat handy because they gave preference to odd lots (had 84 shares) so it helps to "clean things up" a bit. Also, they paid above the market rate (which didn't quite jump to the buyback value because they did not buy an unlimited number).

The solar cells you're thinking of are based on GaAs. This is GaN. While they both contain Ga, they aren't particularly similar. The cost of Gallium isn't what makes GaAs based multi-junction solar cells expensive by the way, it's the cost of manufacturing.

The mac version does not have the compact view option for some lame reason. You also can't turn off display of profile pictures in the contact list.

Perhaps this is what you get for your top dollar and the other manufacturers are even worse!

Maybe you need a brighter bulb.

There is also the ~ character which prevents enlarging the space and also prohibits a linebreak, eg. Dr.~Knuth

The \@ code is for when a period is used after an upper case character and actually ends a sentence (rather than being used for an abbreviation), eg. I like BASIC\@. What about you?

Isn't fax a dead technology?

Right, but censure != censor...
