Or those that should have been opposing it really wanted it to pass, so they left early. Thus the bill passes and they get to save face and say they never had a chance to vote on it.
Similar shenanigans go on in Congress all the time. Have you ever noticed how many votes pass by a single vote. The majority of Congress may want to get something unpalatable passed, then there is wheeling and dealing by some to get on the losing side. This allows them to vote against the bill and still go back home saying they opposed Congress for their own constituents, when the reality is they were ok with it getting passed.
Having a standardized EULA would be a bad thing if it were standardized by the government. They'd be unilaterally agreeing to the terms of the EULA, while right now it is unclear if a EULA is even binding at all.
I'd solve it by making the car a flat black, absorbing heat so it doesn't reach the interior. The heat would be dissipated through the giant fins which will soon be all the rage (again).
I'm not sure what SOAP solves. What does that complexity buy me? I've written to API's in XML, fixed width files, serialized objects, url encoded, cgi post, shared memory, named pipes and others.
All SOAP manages to do is make object instantiation and invocation look nothing like what is going on.
SOAP is not abstraction it is misdirection.
COBOL files were typically well defined. Writing a parser and validator for them would take less time than setting up the same for SOAP. I'm not suggesting we go back to COBOL, I'm saying that SOAP doesn't win us anything by making parsing and validating available to something made unnecessarily complex.
Fritz has a sparring mode which does a little better than that. It will find a route that sets up a position where the player can force a win of a piece or a pawn. Essentially it sets up a tactical middle game puzzle live in the middle of a game.
The player doesn't know when it will do this or even if it will happen at all. But it is most likely to happen when the player puts the computer under pressure. This is great because it teaches the player to press the computer and coordinate pieces while also constantly keeping an eye out for the wins.
The whole chessmaster series features near-perfect play alternating with just flat out dropping pieces.
Even with Fritz though, "easy" mode is still well above beginner.
While the earth may be 70% covered with water, it is hard for me to imagine a useful application of that number. And 47% apparently came close to the right answer of a nearly useless fact.
Electricity, mechanics, chemistry and biology might see daily application. Even the speed of light is a bit I've used when calculating the length of a jury rigged antenna.
% of water on the surface of the earth is about as useful as the circumference of a bear.
Some of the specialists decided in a meeting that was far from fully attended.
They came up with a definition of planet that includes "dominates its neighborhood". Really.
The definition just got a lot more complicated for no other reason that some people not liking that Pluto might be a planet. So they came up with "dwarf planet" which somehow means that it isn't a planet.
This means that if Pluto and Mercury swapped places that Mercury would suddenly no longer be a planet and Pluto would be. The definition of planet is no dominated by its location in proximity to other things and not anything inherent in the object itself.
This could lead to all sorts of weirdness. Another part of the definition is that it must lie in the planetary plane (circular logic much?). So what if we discover a star with 2 "planets", which do we choose to be a planet and which do we choose to now be a dwarf planet?
For whatever reasons, the IAU didn't get much right with this definition. The elegant definition would have just added a few "planets", big deal.
The iPhone is too expensive and not worth the money. The average person would probably buy the iPod because it costs so much less than the iPhone. With the Apple stores and going online and looking around there are always have deals or a refurbished one, you just have to watch for them every few months.
Last I checked, the iPod Touch was $30 more than the iPhone hardware for an 8GB ($229), and the same price ($299) for the 16GB). (I last checked 1 minute ago.)
Now, if you're talking data plans, sure, the iPhone ends up more expensive after just one month. But the price difference obviously depends on your current phone plan. I had unlimited Internet on my old Blackjack, and getting the iPhone 3G was only $15/month more for me--and I was told I would have to pay $15/month more for any phone I got, as I was on an older, cheaper data plan than they currently offered (woo, prices went up!).
If they start throttling sources, then it is all about the hops between me and Google (or Youtube, whoever...)
Which hops between me and one of these places that will be throttled are going to be affected? Who is paying for those hops currently? Will they start demanding money from both sides of the exchange?
I'd use this for some of the math research I do. I currently run something for hours at a time and could save to disk every couple hours. If the computer were interrupted mid cycle, it would be garbage anyway.
Random reads *and* writes would be super fast. I imagine some guys working with video would love this.
I also wouldn't mind having my games on RAM so everything loaded 20x faster.
I'm sure they're going with the idea that every student consents to a search when they attend school.
Of course, they are required to be a school and failure to attend can result in charges in some states. Thus, they are required to consent to searches.
My glasses refract the blue ones differently than other colors. So if I turn my head, all the blue ones move around relative to everything else. If I look through the side of my glasses at a blue LED on a piece of electronics, it will appear inches away from the spot where it should be.

Java. If ever a philosopher was an architecture astronaut...
Yea, they should have surveyed the slashdot pundits instead.
A Microsoft acquisition would be interesting.
The only problem with your argument is that you're making it to juvenile morons.

If this results in the abandonment of SOAP, I'm all for it.

YMMV.

True. It's when you post a log of dates and times along with photos of specific animals that it gets weird.
I'm also chuckling that somewhere out there are all the Todd Knarr's of the world googling themselves and finding this thread some day.

Which hops between me and one of these places that will be throttled are going to be affected? Who is paying for those hops currently? Will they start demanding money from both sides of the exchange?
Could someone do a typical traceroute to Google and explain who pays for each hop along the way. Also how network neutrality would change any of that?
And running anything by Apple will attempt to install everything else. No, I don't want Bonjour for Windows this time either, thanks.
Isn't this proper behavior on the Mac?
Hand over the phone, keep the battery.

No experience in the field only qualifies you to run the CIA.

He's saying there is a greater number of PS3's than before. This means a larger market for PS3 developers (larger than last years PS3 market).
He's not saying there are more PS3's than the other consoles.
