It's actually very obvious.

The experience he had trying to save the Word doc looks exactly like me every time I have to set up "Windows Live" inside a PC game.

Has anyone else tried the SRT? This post alone is enough to scare me away.

At work, Office is the only reason I use Windows (when I do).

this one doesn't work so well:

From the petition:

"Requiring the published results of taxpayer-funded research to be posted on the Internet"

I'm just pointing out that requiring it to be posted on the internet requires someone to host it.

Who pays the hosting fees?

I'd be there all day trying to estimate roots in my head, depending on the accuracy they'll accept for the estimate.

I think this is a great idea, though - too many times I've caught an in put error simply because the answer was an order of magnitude or two off - or I had forgotten to convert units.

Go ahead, touch the cornballer, you know best!

Well I guess the implicit assumption is that the rate of progress is relatively constant - hence proportional to time.

There isn't any more noise in the spectrum they bid on than any other unused portion.

They purchased the spectrum to be used for satellite communications. There was an FCC loophole that allowed them to supplement satellite communications with terrestrial signals in certain cases. They decided to move ahead with a FULL terrestrial system. They decided to bet large - and lost.

Any EE could have shown the blasting a signal literally billions of times stronger in an adjacent band would completely kill functionality of devices that rightfully would never ever have expected to need to design for it.

GPS makers have been designing their receivers under the rules the FCC has set forth for decades, that the bands surrounding GPS are for sky level signals. I wouldn't call that "lazy".

Imagine if the NTB suddenly decided that it would be OK for people to drive tanks at 1000 MPH on existing highways. Would you call carmakers "lazy" because cars currently on the road wouldn't be safe to drive anymore? Or would it be OK to tell hundreds of millions of people to replace their cars immediately at exorbitantly higher cost?

It's curious that a ton of particles stream out of one city, those die down, and then a nearby city explodes. Obviously, I doubt people are actually moving in such patterns. Maybe it's the underlying data - I assumed that tax deadlines aren't city dependent. Maybe time passing in the animation isn't truly representative of time.
