Well you could be a traveling businessman, have your work on a netbook, but be able to hook up to the conference room HD projector and show your HD Powerpoint (wonder if MS has made that pitch yet "PowerPoint IN HD!!!!). More likely an HD video preview of a product to customer?
Actually no it didn't, world war 2 started with the declarations of war by the British, the British Commonwealth, and France in response to the invasion of Poland by Germany. Remember that Germany had effectively already taken over Czechoslovakia and Austria with no resistance and it wasn't consider war at that point.
True, aircraft fight in 3 dimensions, but there are hard limits on the range of said aircraft on the z axis (the ground, and whatever air ceiling the aircraft is capable of), plus the physics with no drag from an atmosphere would certainly influence battle tactics. I'm not a pilot, but physics seem to limit what kind of approaches one can do in an atmospheric combat zone vs in space.
Then use Reader inside a VM or otherwise a throw away OS. Seems like a fairly secure* sandbox for such vulnerable applications.
*Yes a VM itself can be exploited and broken out of, but that is way harder then the swiss cheese of Adobe Reader.
Its not so much that people USE the 4 gigs. It's when Joe Sixpack buys the cheap HP from Office Depot that has 4GB of RAM, boots it up and only sees around 3.5 or less of it. It will get worse when the bottom barrel computer has 6 or 8 GB of RAM (probably in the next couple years or less).
Last time I checked, most software written is never sold, it's developed in-house as a custom solution. Thus copyright has almost no bearing on it, more likely would fall under trade secrets. See recent case of Goldman-Sachs coder getting arrested by FBI for example.
I agree that the latest versions of IE are vastly more secure, however you must take into account many, many people still are running IE6 (ignorance for home users usually, or compatibility reasons on the business side), and thus are still easily exploited. With that foreknowledge I'd imagine the malware writers who do use IE have IE8 for the same reason that other use FF and Opera, generally more secure.
More like, "By paying your bill (even automatically), you hereby agree to any changes since the last billing cycle". Of course its a catch-22, agree and get screwed or don't pay and get your credit ruined.
Did you miss that the government is doing just that? In fact it was so popular to do that (replace the old inefficient SUV, etc.) that the program subsidizing it ran out of money?
I'd imagine it would be massing carriers, then rushing an arbiter or 2 into enemy main, then recalling all carriers to the enemy base. Instant overwhelming attack, giving little time to react.
1) Encrypt content in whatever manner seems suitable (TrueCrypt, password protect RAR, etc.) 2) Link to second download on same site, with textfile containing password. 3) ??? 4) Profit!
Really depends where you live. I live in southern california, and $15/hour is borderline impossible to live on around here. Mind you poor urban planning contributes to this, you almost are required to have a car to get to anything.
Indeed. For gaming only Crysis on a 30 inch monitor would justify this monster. Folding@Home on the other hand.... I can't even imagine the ppd this will get.
This is indeed the case (for killing bills). The nastier version is tacking some random crap on to the annual budget, and using the excuse of getting the budget passed to ram it through even though the bill alone wouldn't even get to a vote by itself.
Although this is, true, Hitler indeed was fearful of invading Sweden since he depended on Swedish Iron to fuel his war machine. Even today, I doubt anyone could attack and take control of the iron fields before the Swedes could destroy them via sabotage.
IIRC, Ati/AMD and nVidia don't make all that much money on the high end card, most of the profit falls in the mid-range. The good thing about both companies releasing high-priced, ultra overkill card every 3-6 months, is that is rapidly makes any "old" card drop in price. An 8800GTS 512MB is a very powerful card, and is only 1 year old, but its price is like a third of its release price. Barring Crysis and SupCom, that card can play nearly all games at maxed out settings on reasonable resolutions. Only real reason to get the new cards is for the VRAM and larger buffers to handle super high resolutions (2560x1600).

Or I can just get an ION powered netbook, install Linux and use VDPAU, and play any HD without any issue. Why is this news?
Umm, hate to break it to you, but both creating and consuming power can't defy thermodynamics, specifically 2nd law.
No, the garbage collector detects that, and frees the memory accordingly. It keeps track whether an object can be reached my the main program or not.

Don't they do both?
Cool, I'll just do all the above steps on the Windows VM used for this purpose alone. Then never use said VM again.

Or we could spend far less and build a ton of desalination plants... Plenty of water on this planet (just not quite usable).
Ending all wars and stabilizing human population
Aren't those near diametrically opposite actions? Last time I checked, wars or plagues are some of the best checks on population growth.

Mid-level? Are you kidding me? CPU is overkill, and in no way you need more then maybe a 500W PSU with single GPU. You could roll that a lot cheaper.

They miss a couple zero's on the end of that bid? Morons.
