It took me about 8 hours to get my Linksys card to function.
I tried ndiswrapper for hours before finding a site that stated in broken English that it would not work with this chipset(Ralink RT61) and the current Linksys driver. Eventually after getting some driver source code from Ralink and typing dozens of cryptic commands into Ubuntu 7.04 while enabling and disabling various network settings it works about 75% of the time I boot and there is a 5 second delay before every new page begins to load in Firefox. Needless to say I boot into Windows for any web-related activity.
The last big showdown was supposed to be two months back when The Matrix movies were all released exclusively on HD-DVD the same weekend as Pirates 1 and 2 being released exclusively on Blu-Ray. Pirates stomped all over HD-DVD. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your omission of the price disparity between these two products ($25 each for PotC vs $100/$120 for Matrix) was an accidental oversight.
The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles. California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables. A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study).
Nationally, two government studies have found PHEVs would result in large reductions even on the national grid (50% coal). The GREET 1.6 model in 2001 by the DOE's Argonne National Lab estimates hybrids reduce greenhouse gases by 22%, and plug-in hybrids by 36% (see table 2). An Argonne researcher reached consensus with researchers from other national labs, universities, the Air Resources Board, automakers, utilities and AD Little to estimate in July 2002 that PHEVs using nighttime power reduce greenhouse gases by 46 to 61 percent.
Gordon Moore: The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years.
Instead of placing twice as many transistors on a cpu you can instead place twice as many cpus(a few less for the sticklers) of the same transistor count on a single wafer. Even if consumers no longer care about FLOPS they will still be swayed by lower cost, longer battery life, smaller dimensions and passive/quieter cooling.
I suppose that is why at E3 they demonstrated Mario Platformer, Mario Fighter, Mario Karts and Mario Olympics and earlier this year released Mario Party, Mario RPG, Mario Soccer and 2 Zelda games(one for Wii and one for DS).
This is absurd to concern oneself with anyway since the death rate for commercial air travel is around 0.14 per billion miles. The death rate for automobile travel is 11,350% higher.

The actual argument the article makes is this:
Suicide missions are not always religiously motivated, but according to Oxford University sociologist Diego Gambetta, editor of Making Sense of Suicide Missions, when religion is involved, the attackers are always Muslim.

Alan S. Miller is Professor of Behavioral Science at Hokkaido University, Japan and is an Affiliate Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington. He has worked for the Environmental Sciences wing of the Science Applications International Corporation. Miller holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Washington. He is the author of over 20 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals concerned with the areas of crime and deviant behavior, religion, and comparative social psychology. He has written widely in the areas of social psychology, political sociology, marriage and the family, criminology, macrosociology, mathematical sociology, theory, and methodology. His recent articles have appeared in American Sociological Review,American Journal of Sociology,Social Forces, Journal of Politics, Sociological Theory, and Evolution and Human Behavior. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Kanazawa
Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa is an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics. His research uses evolutionary psychology to analyze social sciences such as sociology, economics, and anthropology. [1] In 2003, in an article in the Journal of Research in Personality, he showed that scientists generally made their biggest discovery before their mid-30s, and compared this productivity curve to that of criminals. [2] In 2006 he published an article in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, claiming that attractive people have a 36% greater chance of having female children than male children. [3]
Professor Kanazawa has also co-written two books with Alan Miller: "Why Men Gamble and Women Buy Shoes: How Evolution Shaped the Way We Behave"; "Order by Accident: The Origins and Consequences of Conformity in Contemporary Japan". Give them a little credit, they are doing more than just repeating unsubstantiated wives tales and stereotypes.
Also remember that the PS3 does not include any HD video cables, only composite. The cheapest HDMI cable at BB is the 36" AR model which is $50. You can buy a 3' HDMI cable for $6 online so you know the margin on these must be massive.
This sounds like the same line of reasoning that mullahs use to prevent women from displaying their ankles ("uncovered meat") and bible thumpers use against Catcher in the Rye.
Look at the top selling PS2 games in the US: 1. GTA:VC 2. GTA:SA 4: GTA 3
Can the fact that these titles sell so poorly in Japan really cause Japanese execs to ignore their importance? Talk about myopic.

Either he's incredibly stupid or was completly blinded by pride and assumed that consumers would flock to the new console regardless of whether or cost two dollars or two thousand and regardless of whether or not there were any good games on the platform. Just look at his public statements:
> PS3 is "for consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."
And statements from other Sony execs:
> "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games"
Next-Gen contacted Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter, who further explained the deal. "What Microsoft did was pay a $50 million advance," he said, much in the same way a big-name author receives a payment in advance of his or her next book.
In other words, Microsoft is confident that Take-Two's portion of the revenue generated by GTA IV content downloads will surpass the $50 million advance paid.
"Microsoft basically said that it's happy to pay [Take-Two] in advance $50 million in revenue that [Take-Two] is going to receive from GTA IV downloads," he said.
Microsoft takes about a 30 percent cut from Xbox Live Marketplace content sales, according to Pachter.
Taking that 70/30 split (publisher/Microsoft) and the $50 million advance into account, Microsoft is apparently confident that GTA IV download revenues over Xbox Live will be at least $70 million.
If revenues don't meet that figure, Take-Two will have to return some of the advance, according to Pachter. But he said that there's no reason to believe Take-Two would actually miss that revenue target.
He also stated, "By giving this advance, Microsoft did extract from Take-Two the promise to make [GTA IV content] exclusive. But there will not be any downloadable content for PS3, at least for some time. My guess is at least for a year."
This is not costing MS $50 million. At most it is costing them a few million that they would have accrued in interest on that amount over 6-12 months.
Does anyone really care about 2*C lower if the thing sounds like a jet taking off? I would imagine that someone who cares about such a tiny margin will use water cooling anyways.
Instead of sound levels they test installation time? Unless you are changing the thing daily or installing thousands on an assembly line I fail to see the importance of this metric.
Estimates of deaths linked to nuclear power in the US since 1957 range from 0 to a few hundred.
I guess it is the psychological catastrophe effect. 45,000 people die every year in automobile wrecks and no one pays attention. 100 die in a plane crash and it is a national event.

Of those who did a clean 7.04 install only 20% had wireless networking function straight away while 56% could never get it to work.
