That the download window doesn't have a "Clean Up" button so I have to resort to right clicking and clicking on Clear Downloaded. It may seem like laziness, but now without the button, firefox 3 is discouraging to me.
Why do they make you take the laptops out of bags if you can x-ray the whole thing at once? Does it have something to do with the X-ray damaging critical components?
My only concern with this type of setup is what type of liquid/gas they'll be using inside the chamber to move the piston and also what the heat sink will be made out of. If the liquid/gas in the chamber's boiling point is too high the gas will start to expand _way_ too late.Not to mention the fact that depending on the gas they use you'll probably have to buy a new one every so often since the gas will escape if it is less dense than the heat sink material. Granted the solidworks youtube video is nice, i'm still not sure i'd buy this heatsink for my chipset due to the complexity of the chemistry involved.
Well, I think what we have to do rather than convince people they're wrong is we've got to convince people that the stuff that we do ship, that the partnership on top delivers real value. And that's what we've been doing a very good job of. I mean, the fact of the matter is, how do we beat Linux? The way you beat any other competitors: You offer good value, which in this case means good total cost of ownership, right? Because total cost is really, at the end of the day, the issue. And the fact that, quote, Linux is open source, therefore it appears to have a zero price -- that actually made it easier to shine a spotlight on the thing that always mattered anyway, which is total cost. We have a better proposition today, I would think, for total cost of ownership, and we have to offer better value where better value reflects the applications that are available, the quality of the tools.
Take something like SharePoint alone. It's a big deal. The quality of the databases, that's a big deal. The availability of tools, of Visual Studio and.Net and the ability to build bespoke applications, those are all part of the value and the total cost. And I think we've done a good job. In the areas where we haven't done a good job, we'd have less share. We have a smaller percentage of the market, for example, in high-performance computing. That's about 40% of Linux business. We really didn't enter the market with what I would call an engineered, high innovation, high-value-add offering until last year. Now that we're in the game, we're gaining share in the high-performance computing work load. So in a sense, the old formula: Keep the prices low, keep the innovation high, keep the total cost of ownership low. With all of this talk of "total cost" and "real value" and other such terms, is it just me or is he supporting Linux and devaluing Microsoft?
"And the fact that, quote, Linux is open source, therefore it appears to have a zero price." - Is this guy completely ignorant to the fact that Linux is free and it has better overall value and the _lowest_ cost of ownership?
A P3's bus speed and clock speed would bottleneck the hell out of the video card and 1 gb of memory. I'm just saying that although the WII's hardware stats don't seem all that great its actually pretty powerful with its IBM PPC Broadway core and ATI Hollywood gpu.
In regards to the Linux, I just have to wonder at the utility of it all... I've got some old slot 1 Pentium 3s in my garage that would provide more 'oomph' then the Wii can provide. Mostly due to increased memory, available agp slots and ease of use. However I always applaud these kind of modifications to CEs. I lol'd.

You should probably consider Computer Engineering instead then. That way you get the best of both worlds!
Those boxes only came in binary numbers! 8,16,32,64,128!
I can bucket sort over 1099511600000 integers in it's worst case run.

Ahh, I was thinking of the Mirror Lab next to the football stadium, I thought that is where they were housing the actual telescope. _lol_

I go to school there and surprisingly enough the building that holds it is relatively small in comparison to other telescopes. I dono how they do it!

well with that ideology then they'd both do fine as general computers.

...is awesome. I laughed out loud, literally.
I never thought i'd find a useful application to that quote, but I guess you've trumped me. ;)
