While the article provides no substantial proof, rhyme, or reason I believe the premise is valid. With rapidly increasing capacity and rapidly decreasing size and cost flash memory may actually replace optical medias. Flash provides the convenience of small size the capacity of large disks and the speed of transfer needed to successfully play a movie at proper resolutions.
I think that flash has the capability to be easily integrated into televisions and provide all the functionality we liked of both dvd/blue-ray and VHS. It would be capable of seeking instantly(or nearly so} to any point in the video and it would be a quickly recordable media. A built in flash card reader in a tv could be used in much the same way as a VCR was except with the onscreen guide benefits of a DVR.
This reminds me of a book I once read that started with "Rip the cover off this book". and then shortly followed that with something along the lines of "Ok now that you're stuck with this book."
I was going to go into a big shpiel about how if anyone bothered to stop and read quest dialogs from time to time they might experience a bit of the lore in WoW but/shrug what you said works better.
Well it's my opinion if your release gets major news coverage then your mistakes and bad software should as well. After all if millions of people got told how wonderful your new phone is then I think they should also get told how terrible your new patch is. I think it's only fair that they reap what they sow so to speak.
Yes, I would, but mostly because I believe that people should gain based on their own merit and not their ability to take advantage of other people.
The Modern idea of win at whatever cost no holds barred oh look he forgot to dot the I that invalidates the contract bull is disgusting to me. Once upon a time honor was more than just an ancient Japanese tradition.
Well my guess just based on his description is that the CAD program or vista was handling a loopback or a call to one of those annoying dongles incorrectly. Since it worked in XP it's hard to blame the CAD program.
If this kind of practice becomes common place it wouldn't be long before we start editing people we dislike out of history and ignoring they ever existed. Follow that with a couple decades and people will be erased from media for any number of crimes against the "state".
Indeed another interesting thing is this would allow for a submarine engine with incredible efficiency as it would in effect have an infinite fuel source with the need to only refresh the catalyst materials. Also by eliminating intake on the car we eliminate the need for another maintenance part. The largest issue I see is using water in freezing climates.
So basically he has a vehicle that will pay for itself in fuel and maintenance in about 7 years. Another flaw of the GP is assuming that gas prices stay the same over a 7 year period. If the last 7 years are any indication ($1.358 in 2001 Aug 12, $3.71 Aug 11, 2008 Citation DOE Midwest Prices)they won't in fact it's likely to increase another 2 dollars by then so in 2016 he will be saving about $1150 a month depending on how inflation keeps pace it could make a significant difference.
lithium polymer batteries that periodically explode and kill everyone in the car
As opposed to flammable fuel based engines that basically explode on purpose. An electric car with a firewall just like combustion vehicles should do the trick.
I think this is a great point waiting on the perfect solution means waiting forever. Increase the population of electric cars then increase the amount of renewable resource power generators. If the price of electricity skyrockets due to high demand the cost comparison of renewable vs nonrenewable resources begins to tip heavily in favor of renewable power sources. In addition the idea of a self fueling partially solar powered vehicle becomes much more desirable.
Why stop and recharge as often if you can just put solar panels on the car and increase your miles per watt. Once the general public sees the value in not wasting the constant barrage of energy (from the sun) we receive everyday we might just start the trend we are looking for.
Not to state too much of the obvious but this is also a con(ferance) so I assume the network is setup temporarily and then brought back down once defcon is over.
The temporary nature tends to lead to less stringent cable management and gfn (good for now) physical security. Although it's impractical to have a guard stationed at the network devices 24/7 for most companies for a conference it's probably the easiest and cheapest method.
I think this statement rather clearly quantifies the issue. A good portion of the population have some sort of optical defect in their eyes. The majority of people I have met who praise HD and Blu Ray all day are people with especially acute eyesight. I think for the majority of people a high quality progressive scan DVD on a good 720p HDTV is about as good as their eyesight is.
In what way does playing more benefit blizzard if you still pay as much but only play a few hours at most a day or week blizzard loves you because you are using very little resources while still providing the same ammount of cash.

Scariest documentary ever.
Of course they will after all who wants the last guys lackeys in positions that your own lackeys can be in.
That's good I prefer chicken anyway.

Well shouldn't the TOE by definition include the rules that control the interaction of parallel universes and the sub or supra-universal structures?

Half the nerds and geeks I know would have the same sound as their login sound. The Imperial march from Starwars (vader's theme).
