The miniseries was a nice journey though. The moment where Alia is in the court with Harkonen before the return of Muad'dib, and she screams out "MY BROTHER COMES!" was just brilliant.
I thought the final book really sealed it off. It was a vision of true panspermia intentionally designed to insure the survival of their civilization.
When I first read it, I thought that just and excellent, but looking back, I think the point may have been to ask what exactly we are trying to preserve when we say we want to insure our survival as a race? Backstabbing and intrigue? The strong overpowering the weak?
I really don't think that it was as incoherent as it's often made out to be. Herbert was not just a hack churning out books.
How does a patent license allow you to charge for transmitting data over the Internet? I get that the encoder requires a patent license, and the decoder requires a patent license, but sending an encoded file over the Internet? That's just absurd.
Everyone forgets to check the basic shit occasionally, even technically skilled people. Especially at home when you just want to watch a movie or whatever.
If you're going 80, accelerating, and not controlling your car well enough that a sudden acceleration like that kills you, you would have died anyway. Even when legal, I don't think 85 is something you should leave on cruise control. The difference between cruising at 85 and cruising at 100 isn't really that significant from a safety standpoint. Both are not great ideas.
Just go 80. If you're the sort of person that cares enough about fuel efficiency to buy a Prius, you ought to care about the significant drops in fuel efficiency that appear when you start moving up past 75 or so.
Which is the best way to handle things. It sucks for the person who knows they're right, and is right, but 9/10 times, the person is wrong, and the problem is in fact localized.
You allow these things to escalate quickly, you end up with people getting paid $30/hour to tell people to plug in their machines.
Really, the issue is that phone is a terrible way communicate this sort of information. Chat, Email, and Wikis allow much more concise and effective means of debugging.
It's really easy to hit the wrong mod on the dropdown. And so long as it's not +1 where you meant -1 or vice versa, there's no reason to post to reverse it.
Does it matter when the only sample of this material probably costs as much as 5 Hummers, and has enough volume to serve as a bumper for a 4 inch wide RC car?
If you're gaming on a portable, you've already sacrificed a ton of graphics. You're not going to get anything with a "wow" factor. The fact is that a DS gives you pretty much all the power you need to make a good game. If you can't do it, your problem isn't hardware.
Even something like a Droid Eris is probably sufficient. Not a lot of reason to buy dedicated hardware.
Personally, I'd define the useful life of a battery as being until it can't last more than 1/4th of the original operating time. It's hard to make this sort of prediction about a piece of hardware, but judging from my experience with laptop batteries, I consider it a good bet that the iPad's battery will wear to this point long before the hardware dies.
And I haven't seen the inside of the iPad, but I highly doubt it is molded to fill empty space. There is a modicum of space saved by not allowing it to be removed, but that's not the purpose of the design. It's done this way to ensure that you need a trained professional if you want to take advantage of your hardware when the battery is no longer useful (and it's a question of when, not if.)
I assume by "case" you're not referring to the physical case of any Apple product made in the past decade, because those are actively designed to make working in them as hard as possible.
Even on the most locked-down cars available, changing the battery is a trivial operation. You would think the iPad would at least match this level of technical sophistication.
You can use this for transmitting everything, and it could remove the need for cords to connect Display to computer, and does not suffer from the same regulatory difficulties that Radio-band wireless does, so it could be a very good bluetooth replacement, especially given the wide variety of data it can transfer, it might replace USB/eSATA for some applications.
They counted the number of files, not the size of the downloads. If size was a factor, it would follow that there be far more music data shared than video - but there wasn't. Music is almost non-existent when compared to video, at least when looking at data. Even if it's a full album, that's still only 150mb compared to a minimum of 300mb for an hour-long tv program.
The lack of data on how many were downloaded is problematic, but would you like to propose a methodology for determining the number of downloads? The best you can do is record the number of seeders over the life of the torrent, but you can't make any statistical claims from the data without downloading each file yourself and seeding it for a while. In fact, you would need to download it several times to get a feel for how much data, on average, the seeders gave, and how long seeds and leeches remained in the pool.
Even then, I would expect there to be no relation between the amount of time someone might seed a legal download vs. an illegal one, and even different illegal media would likely exhibit wildly different seeders.
I would expect, for example, to find that Battlestar Galactica would have a very different seeder demographic than Friends, and I don't think you could guess downloads on the other by looking at the one.
Does that really do anything other than shift the problem though? Just because gang members are as a rule poor doesn't mean that the majority of low-income residents are gang members.
And the alternative is better? How do you propose we break up gangs? Magic? Some people are going to get fucked regardless. At least this way there's a clear standard for what society says is acceptable.
He said he was a centrist. A left-winger would have announced a freeze on foreclosures, turned off the stock market and unilaterally forced the banks to re-negotiate underwater home loans to reflect the depressed cost of the housing market.
Except you can be reasonably sure that the Dutch Airport security officer won't surreptitiously plant a bomb in your bag while giving you an inspection.
Amazing how people can't even read the fine headline.
Though I suppose if you need a complete sentence to get it through your head, the question was, "How can I use 2 Displays and 2 Workspaces With Linux and X?"
No, because it's in an iFrame it's less secure than having nothing at all. When you're pulling data from two different sites on the same page, it's much easier for a third party to insert their own fields without you knowing.
Though Flashblock is somewhat imperfect. I'd prefer it pretend my browser doesn't support Flash until I want Flash, rather than pausing the Flash quickly.

If light passes through it it is by definition a screen.
screen != display

If you take another look at the article, an update suggests that's exactly what Facebook has done.

So he needs to rent a Ha'tak for a few days. Big deal.
They're selling off the Stargate, so he won't have to worry about the military's gate superseding the Colorado Springs gate.

Which has about as much touchscreen support as Windows 3.11.
