QuoteHow do you think a Martian colony will be powered?

Solar Energy?

Nuclear?

For most of us, that's as far as it goes. Some might consider something a little more 'exotic' -- like geothermal energy --  but for the most part solar and nuclear energy are the two types of power most often discussed.

Two North Carolina high school freshman, though, Chase Bishop and James Thompson, have a different idea on how to power a Mars colony.

Dry ice.

That's right. Dry ice.

The frozen, solid form of carbon dioxide.

Yeah, they're being so sneaky about it, it caught out a couple of people at work. I'm not going to get 10, aside from the fact I prefer 7 it's still current so there's no reason to change.

I'm sure I'll update later on, when it's all squared out.

QuoteMicrosoft U-turn on 'nasty trick' pop-up

By Jane Wakefield
Technology reporter

Microsoft has u-turned over changes it made to a pop-up encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 10.

Users were angry that clicking the cross to dismiss the box meant that they had agreed to the upgrade.

Based on "customer feedback", Microsoft said that it had added another notification that provided customers with "an additional opportunity for cancelling the upgrade".

The pop-up design had been described as a "nasty trick".

Microsoft told the BBC it had modified the pop-up two weeks ago as a result of criticism: "We've added another notification that confirms the time of the scheduled upgrade and provides the customer an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade.

"If the customer wishes to continue with their upgrade at the designated time, they can click 'OK' or close the notifications with no further action needed."

Senior editor at PC World magazine Brad Chacos, who describes himself as a fan of the Windows 10 operating system, had previously described the use of the cross to mean people had agreed to the upgrade as "a nasty trick".

He said: "I don't think that adding more pestering pop-ups improves the situation. At the very least they should add a large, obvious 'No, I don't want this' button."

Mr Chacos has been a vocal critic of what he described as the "heavy-handed tactics that Microsoft's been using to force people into the upgrade".

Previously, users had to press the cross to cancel the suggested upgrade, he pointed out, so the latest move is counter-intuitive - "akin to swapping out the brake and the accelerator in your car".

Users have been sharing with the BBC their own experience of unwanted upgrades, suggesting that the process is difficult to cancel once it has begun.

Havard Hughes' experience was typical of many.

"Windows 10 update ran on my PC despite all my efforts to stop it, including dismissing the update several times and frantically trying to abort the installation as it started when I was halfway through writing an important e-mail.

"My attempt to roll it back to Windows 7 resulted in the blue screen of death and a dead PC. I now have to reinstall my home computer from scratch because of this so-called 'free' upgrade.

"As someone who paid for my software and was perfectly happy with my fully functional Windows 7 machine, this has been an absolute disaster."

Just like his businesses LOL
The same as Sanders. People may want to ignore the fact but the states he's won lately were states where Hillary spent virtually no money. Trump is basically winning by over spending on campaigning.

Well that's what happens when you self fund your campaign and don't rely on college kids maxing out their parents credit cards to match donations

Well to be fair it depends on the suburb. I swear some Baltimore cities are way more dangerous to walk vs scaling a half mile cliff to school. :P

Ten ply huh, that's a phrase I haven't heard before. It sounds like thick skin to me or that they are so full of shit that you need ten ply toilet paper to wipe the earth of them. :P

I live right outside of Urban Honolulu, so draw your own conclusions there. Traffic is the most dangerous thing we have here. Although I'm pretty sure some kids have to trek over hot lava to get to school on the Big Island. :)

British people are to blame for the surge in net migration — not immigrants

You Brit's take all the jobs, suck off the welfare programs, seduce the women...SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SEND YOU BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!

So, we need to leave our own country in greater numbers...to bring their immigration figures down? So the immigration figures don't look too bad in other words.

The article even states that its true immigration numbers are up and going up, but its all because Brits aren't leaving?

Is this actual written proof that certain people want native Brits to leave to make room for more immigrants? Jesus they aren't even trying to hide their agenda anymore.

Now for the bad news...

Those who support immigration are the racist xenophobic bigots.
