ust whip the scribes harder. They were advertised as "52x" on the box, and by god they'll put out 52x or die trying!
You are confusing read and write speeds - they are not the same! I would be surprised if current scribes can muster even 4x write speeds. Time to upgrade them dinosaurs bone chisels already!
If you read the fucking article, you'd know these weird rats chew the bark of the plant and then lick their fur to store the poison on it. They don't sweat the poison out.
Who cares? ALL my customers are on Windows. The tiny fragment of a market that can't run windows software is irrelevant to most people, especially those in the business of making money.
Actually, there is a huge marketshare of non-Windows platforms on the server side.
I am sure that all of YOUR customers are on Windows, but you cannot use that to make any conclusions about what is going on in the world outside of YOUR customers. This is a form of selection bias.
Of course that wouldn't fit into the ultimate right wing fantasy, the mantra of "Give teh rich more MONIES! Nom nom nom" which they've been pushing like trickle upon for 30+ years and ran the country into the shitter with. Sadly studies along with common sense shows higher taxes on the wealthy increases employment and growth [thomhartmann.com] since if they get taxed if they kep it they are more likely to INVEST it into business rather than hoard, which takes it out of the economy and is "dead money". But instead we'll hear it all blamed on those dirty peasants and their little checks putting food into their dirty little mouths. The cure? Why "Give teh rich more MONIES! Nom nom nom" of course!
You've touched upon a point that should be mentioned far more often. Rich people hoard the money, the poor spend it all and recirculate it into the economy. Simple as that, but US politicians just can't seem to grasp the concept.
It's a scam with current technology. With more efficient ways of producing hydrogen from water and better storage technologies, hydrogen as energy storage for automotive purposes could be the best solution. It's the best fuel for fuel cells (highest reaction speed at lowest temperature of all current fuel cell solutions) and it could be used alongside conventional batteries - the vehicle stays the same (fully electrical) while the source can be batteries, fuel cells or both. And to repeat myself: hydrogen can be made from water - it's just that with *current* tech, that process is expensive.
Scoble is a bullshit artist and nothing more. You could just as well follow Britney Spears. Actually, she might have some intelligent things to say, compared to Robert Scoble. Probably.
I am new to social networks, with Google+ so this may be the naivety that speaks, but I don't think you have to disable your account just to use e-mail. You can have lots of benefits from participating in Google+ to see cool things that scientists and techies (in my case) share with others, to get updates from family members and see a cute video of your friend's newborn. None of these has to replace personal e-mails.
For me, it's lots of fun following Sergey Brin, Linus Torvalds and a number of scientists or science writers and even science comedians. These people are truly creative, in the way that I can appreciate. This didn't change my e-mail usage patterns one bit.
Let Facebook have the games. I don't need an addiction-fueled social website. I am quite happy to spend the occasional 5-10 minutes, checking out what my scientist (and other) friends have to say or share. More time than that is just sick and honestly, I couldn't afford it (wife and kid eat lots of your free time).
why does every piece of data have to be on the fucking Internet. Just because a computer or a network isn't connected to the Internet, it won't instantaneously burn or explosively self-destruct.
Basically, TFA is saying that it will be awhile before we go back to a unified cache that's both RAM and storage (like core memory).
Actually, core memory was used exactly as RAM and not as storage, even though it did have data retention capability (obviously, as it was based on ferromagnetic effects). The actual storage was done on mechanical devices. Heck, back in those days, you had some fast rotating drums with lots of reading heads - a hard drive of sorts, except that it had fast data access and throughput, but limited capacity. Even this, seemingly hard-drive-like device, was used as RAM only.
Elisa has been one of the less benevolent companies here in Finland. Of all the telcos/providers, I'd have thought that they would fold the fastest to the demands of Big Media. But no, they did not!? WTF, if Elisa stands its ground, I am pretty sure all other telcos/providers will, too.
As disgusted as I feel for saying this, I still must: well done Elisa, you make me proud for being a Finn.
There is a shitTon of games on iGoogle, and a few are quite great. I have no idea how good is the integration with iGoogle and Google+. If some good soul would send me an invite ( howdilydoo at gmail ) I could find out...
It is more the fact that the corporAte environment has become very friendly for corporate psychopaths, who will do a quick buck during a 6 month/1 year stint (merger, outsourcing, unnecessary reorganization, firing of random number of employees (1000, 5000 and 10,000 are common) offshoring) and then flee to the next company and management position.
They were a lot cheaper than DAT (digital audio tape) equipment and media. Even though Minidisks used compression, the quality was, for most enthusiasts, more than adequate. That is why I got a Minidisk, after looking long and hard at portable DAT equipment.
That is interesting: I have a Sony Minydisk dEck of that wintage (2003) and it has a fibre digital out port. Though things might have changed immediately after this deck was released.
I think the median of several browser stat websites, as calculated by the Wikipedia entry for browser usage share makes much more sense, than taking one particular site's data - besides, StatCounter has always been biased in favor of Chrome. Not any political kind of bias, mind you, just the way they collect their stats seems to favor Chrome.
Firefox's usage share has been slowly declining since quite some time. They introduced the rather universally hated moron-bar, and paid no attention to the feedback. Then they introduced the unwelcome changes in the UI with Firefox 4, and paid no attention to the feedback. Now they decided to piss off the plugin authors and enterprise customers. In the end, they may become a niche browser, and even Google could decide that their money is better spent elsewhere, than on a bunch of idiots.
I am really getting tired of this shit. So, for your education, you fucking moron submitter and fucking useless moron editor: Bob's quick guide to the apostrophe.
I've had this happen to me with a version of Skype for Windows. I know I set it to not autoupdate, but that was worth fuck-all, apparently. The old Skype was tons more configurable and worked better - for me - than any of the newer versions.

Clearly, patents and copyrights are keeping humanity back from development and prosperity.

Because it makes it accessible from places other than the physical location it's stored at. That can be really useful, you know?
Your condescending tone doesn't hide your ignorance: the same thing can be achieved with an internet - you don't need the Internet for that, you know?

17.something is still closer to 16 than to 20 - my statement remains correct :D

The link provided does not refer to the dual nature of It, whether being used as a contraction or possessive.
Oh yeah? Well then, will this satisfy you?

Both of my netbooks seem to be alive and kicking. Oh, I get it, "dead" as in, I cannot buy any netbooks!
Yeah, it's "dead".
