With modern CPU's generally slowing down to save power and reduce heat output, are spare CPU cycles really spare?
I defiantly know - fans speed up when CPU is busy, does this grid type of software take this into account and use only really idle cycles or does it keep the CPU powered up when there is no user doing anything 'important'?
Maybe it's from 2001 "All the monoliths are black, extremely flat, non-reflective rectangular solids." I remember Arthur C. Clarke's description of the blackness quite well, I'm thinking it was written slightly better than the summaries description of black. Unfortunately I don't have the book with me.
My point was not that LPG/Petrol unsafe, with proper design these parts of the car have been made safe. I don't think its ironic that the LPG tank is one of the most solid parts of the car this is a necessary design to make this particular energy source safe. If this was not the case we would be seeing more exploding cars.
Surely there will be ways to limit the amount of instantaneous discharge while still providing enough discharge to be useful.
With rescue if this technology becomes standard procedures will be changed, big rubber gloves. (Maybe the drivers will have to be wearing skin-tight rubber suits too - maybe thats the reason for those strange uniforms as seen in sci-fi.)
What could possibly go wrong driving around at speed with a tank of highly flammable liquid strapped to the undercarriage of the car. What insanity!!! The same can be said for LPG a high pressure canister of highly flammable GAS just behind your seat - imagine that in a crash.
Any dense energy source put into a car has a potential for that energy to be released in a way that is not intended especially in a crash. It is the details of the design that can make the energy storage (relatively) safe.
Another added benefit of regular replacement is battery life, in my experience after a year of solid use the battery is noticeably worse, by the end of 2 years NEVER leave home without plug pack.
Sorry, this was ages ago, in a previous life. It was not many mail servers, but one of our customers did it, so it was a problem. I don't know if it was instant, could have even been one of the black lists scanning us - but once the HELO response was updated mail started working without delay. I didn't have to wait for it to get removed from black list. Doesn't make much difference to the person trying to send mail which it is as the client won't work correctly without having a server.
Because as soon as you telnet smtp.example.com 25 they will do the same to the source address and if they don't get a HELO with the matching hostname in it they will not accept your mail.
I know not part of the standard, but I ran into this issue when running own mail server for small business. One upgrade and somehow the fully qualified host name in the HELO response changed to the internal hostname. We didn't find out until outgoing 'client' mail stopped.
In Japan, spirits and beer are available in vending machines in the street - no breathalyser, no id, no cctv (not overt at least). If in the middle of the night - or any other time - you felt the urge to drink cheap sake, it is always available no more than a block away for a couple of coins.
I would love to think that MS is doing this in the interests of the users, but can't help thinking of who this would hurt the most in terms of revenue.
There is a new (in last year) category of cameras out with the same size sensor (APS-c) as many SLR's. The sensors being the same size have similar sensitivity etc as DSLR, and without the mirror/viewfinder are much smaller.
Maybe a link between poor handwriting and intelligence. When note taking in university and having to read back almost illegible notes. Also doctors have a reputation for terrible handwriting - maybe a causal relationship bad handwriting->better learning. (Maybe I am just hoping as my handwriting is appalling...)
If droves of customers leave the ISP after implementing such a system, should the ISP be able to sue for loss of revenue? I guess it would be difficult to quantify, maybe not as difficult to quantify as the loss of revenue due to copyright infringement.
I found that when my baby < 1 year old is in the same bed I wake at the slightest movement/sound, otherwise I sleep very soundly. I'm either worried I'd smother him, or some other protective instinct overrides this function.
Exactly, small fans spin much faster nosier to remove the same heat. I have a mini-itx board as home theatre pc, when I had it in mini-itx case the small fans were too noisy, and the cpu fan still ramped up to ~6krpm. I ended up putting it in standard case with half speed standard size fam and now its quiet cpu fan never ramps up.
I work with IP security cameras, and in the last year there has been a huge increase in the number of IP cameras, even quite a few now with megapixel images. Vivotek based in Taiwan is the OEM that made the DLINK cameras and has quite a few cheaper cameras (as well as expensive professional ones). Not sure where they can be obtained retail, I buy wholesale.
Another added benefit of the MJPEG codec is that image quality is actually better, by including the entire image in every frame and not throwing information away with motion prediction. Makes editing easier also, not having to worry about key frames. Yes this obviously used more data.
A few weeks ago I had album shuffle on, using laptop speakers in office when someone came in. It was half way through my child's nursery rhymes and I hadn't even noticed.
I quickly shut it off - I guess my guest thought my taste in music was a little strange.
Sparklines "are meant to be embedded into what they are describing" quote http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2009/07/17/sparklines-in-excel.aspx
How can a patent be granted on embedding them in a grid, when Sparklines were designed to be easily embedded into other contexts. A grid being one such context.

Not well enough to quote it unfortunately, just memory that the description was good. Human brain is not a HDD its a bit more fuzzy.

Side effect of too much solar is global cooling!
Only, when the energy is used again (or wasted) it's generally returned back to heat in the end so no net effect.

Simple solution, find park first then use smartphone to search for a park.

Google earth still has photos - both satellite image and many photo icons with ads (commercial?).

I suspect this is a cover story to hide the use of cloned cosmonauts.

Small board in big case is a winner.

You want x-ware protection too? add $x.
Make sure that the USB cable extension supports USB2, I know a lot don't.
