Funnily enough - this isn't totally irrelevant.
In 2000, IBM, Toshiba and Sony collaborated to create a Cell processor, consisting of one scalar processor and eight vector processors, for the Sony PlayStation 3. - Wikipedia.org So there should be a Tera-PlayStation (TPS) measurement ? And if so who has the TPS report on that machine ?
Really, look at the demographics. Who buys all those pink iPods? Teen girls. The kind of people that spend all day talking and texting on their phone. Who gets a hard on over linux? Introverted geeks. The kind of people that want pizza delivery robots so they can avoid all human contact. Sooo, what you're saying is that by using pink delivery robots we could expand the home pizza market ?
What we are looking for are high end techies, and the wage inflation is due to our desperation to get high end techies - programmers and network admins the like. Ah great, now the HR outfits are going to put out ads looking for "Vista admins with 4 year experience" again, like they do every time something new comes out...
We pay 50-60 Euros for a game locally (about 60-70 USD) More like 70 to 85... Looks like you haven't been keeping up with the exchange rates. 1 EUR ~= 1.43 USD
And that is a very biased criteria. If an EU citizen didn't need a passport at all to freely travel within the EU you would start to have a fair comparison. Among the following countries they don't : Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, France, Germany, Greece, Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Iceland (not all strictly speaking part of the EU). By the end of the year the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Malta, Slovakia, Poland and Slovenia will be added.
... that make me wonder why I didn't study Law. (Oh -- I remember now... it's 'cos I have a soul... ) That's not a problem, as a law student you would have been entitled to a free soulectomy.
If the headline doesn't make it sound like President Bush personally made a phone call to make sure that a US firm, no doubt owned by Halliburton, has tech support people on site helping with deployment, raping villages on weekends, and sending back container loads of gold and diamonds to Dick Cheney's gardener, who buries them in the back yard under a tree shaped like the Masonic logo... well, then, that's just not a slashdot story then, is it? Hey if you know more than what is divulged by the article you should submit your own story. This sound promising !
that "we need a big recession to teach these kids some discipline". Same ole stuff for the last few generations at least. It used to be that "we needed a good war", so maybe things are slowly improving after all.
good. If this bears out then those of us out of college can charge more and more to keep everything running. I wonder if auto mechanics held a similar reasoning around 1910 when people started getting less interested in that newfangled horseless transportation technology...
Thing with DRM is that it can't work in a free society. We have noted your concern and wish to inform you that we are currently diligently addressing it.
I thought you were going to say: Poke out people's eyes and make them install DRMed optic sensors. The Microsoft version would be ViziOrbs - Human Light Interface. And the Apple ones would be iBalls. Only nutters would install iBalls.
Err...how long/violent are the wakes on larger aircraft? They are several kilometres long. Can be lethal to smaller planes and dangerous to the larger ones. The delays that are applied between flights are normally sufficient for the larger bodies, not necessarily for the personal planes.
Commercial pilots with glider experience always remind me of the Gimli glider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider worth the read. I thought commercial planes were required to be able to glide 18 times their altitude in order to be certified ? [citation needed];)
Given the corrections they no doubt had to apply to their trajectory, the 12:1 ratio is probably at the edge of the envelope but it doesn't seem miraculous to me. They apparently just had good pilots.
The story is more interesting because of the unit conversion fuckup IMO. But it's still a good read though ; especially since it doesn't end with a hole in the ground.;)
I replaced a bad motherboard with the SAME MODEL and SAME REVISION motherboard and it asked me to phone their rep to reactivate. Presumably it grabbed the (unique) MAC address from the network interface on the motherboard. Doesn't excuse all this activation mess, I know...
Makes me glad I run Linux (spend the afternoon setting up a Vista laptop for somebody else though).

they are going to die a slow painful death. What, again ? Hasn't this happened once (at least) already ? Palm should just die, pull the electrodes out of the corpse and let it rest.
I have a Pilot 500 upgraded to Palm Pro (with the US Robotics brand even), a IIIx and a T|X and I'm considering just dropping the platform. I'm sick of them changing stuff in between models so that some will sync and some not, of their weird OS, etc.
It started the right way with a clean interface. Something went very wrong along the way...
It would be much more cost effective to pay somebody else to haul your groceries up the stairs. I thought rich people maybe just liked to sleep in their cars every once in a while. But in the comfort of their apartment.

Ah but wait till you see ActiveY, it's going to be great ! It'll have synergy and virtualization !
I had my hands removed and placed in sterile containers. It's much more hygienic.

Destroy the brain ? Hmmm Maybe I could stock up on Barney DVDs...1 EUR ~= 1.43 USD
I seem to remember that the size of the EU bureaucracy is roughly on par with that of the city of Paris...
So while it might be that Paris has way too many people, it doesn't seem to be too extreme to me.

Don't want any body parts falling on me.
Thank you for your feedback.

Should be fun when the A380 is deployed.

Of course the new passenger searches will make sure you won't be carrying any Nasa reports on board. We're all safe. For now.
