The first half of his life he'd be teased by his sisters(ss) friends, the second half he'd have all the tang he wants right there in front of him during sleep overs
Hopefully you mean childhood... if he's hanging around his parents place the latter half of his life, the least of his worries will be scary girls at sleepovers...
A better analogy would be the success of Valve software's Steam service. It has essentially made the buy, download, play model viable. Add a hardware scheme around it and its even more protected. Speed? so you wait a few days for the download, if it allows the user to demo the game or obtain a rare game they would otherwise have to wait for anyway, why the hex not?
Nintendo is working on nailing a competition-free niche to distinguish their product as the only option in a certain market. They have the commanding lead in 'youth-oriented titles'. If they could make a strong v-chip style protection system for it and market it as the more affordable console for the younger gamer, they would secure their largely untapped market. You're right though, not playing ball is not playing ball. How long, though, before there's room in the market for several fringe players? Is that time already here? Nintendo seems awful optimistic after falling so hard and staying on the bottom of the heap. Affordability and technological ubiquity has made the game console market larger than ever before.
Not that I have anything against you or asus but doesnt the tagline "Experience Miraculous Real-time Reality with ASUS-Powered Extreme N5900" sound like some sort of joke? Maybe its just engrish or something, funny to me though.
Everyone hates statistics, but its not the stat itself thats bad, it's the interpretation. In this case, we're looking at the demographic of digitially destructive perps. Sure, it would be nice to have a full breakdown indicating the trend of male vs females or first time offenders, in the IT population and in the general population. But, we don't. We have to make do with the perfectly useful statistics (for the purpose of describing the offenses). I don't see a problem there.
I saw a video clip of him 'running' at the ASIMO tech demo, and it was, in fact, nothing more than very rapid walking (as in, he didn't stride anything like a biological biped does when it runs). fwiw.
But the point is that people who are more or less suited are NOT the ones who have more or less (Respectively) offspring. Just about everyone's genes get back into the pool eventually.
In fact, look at the procreation rate of those more suited to those less suited. Many times better educated/better off people will have fewer children, because they have no real need for them other than the instinctive desire to birth and raise them. There is no statistic associated with this that i can see, but look around at what's happening on a general basis.
Do you have any idea what happens to economies over time? They change. Duh. The automotive industry will change. the durable goods industry will change. What they change into is up to us. Products come and go. Companies come and go. Enture industries come and go. If you're smart, you keep on top of the curve and take advantage of every aspect of your resources. As a 'smart economy' I have every faith that America can keep itself vital.
There is a huge difference between the 'google maps' visual coverage, and this, which is a 'earth surface condition map'. For one, the resolution here is pathetic compared to that of the 'google maps', but it has a completely different goal. It is intended to show details about land, instead of whether or not someone mowed a 'hi mom' message into their lawn. Move along, you won't be seeing that any time soon.
It depends on how fast the processes are making it to runtime. If you have 1000 jobs that will each take a few msec, but new ones are created at that same rate, you will still get responsiveness out of the system. If they each take a few sec, on the other hand, you have a problem... Oh how I wish everyone understood the difference between load average and load on the cpu.
Its more like "Go under tree, lose GPS signal'". The GPS signal is so particular to reception that this application is a joke. Whats far more likely is a cellular phone network (or similar) implementation where a simple low power transceiver can both triangulate position considering base stations are well known, AND report the position in real time. GPS is horribly inadequate for both of these needs, to the point where I suspect many people use it as a buzzword or cliche term and have no idea what it really means.
Should we be opposed to this? Considering that the alternative is shipping the jobs outside the US, if we keep the wage-earners inside the US, the residual income from the job will stay (for the most part) inside the US. Might not be as good as every last engineer drawing a top dollar salary, but its better than 100% of the spending going away from the US.
Huh? The cost of laying the fiber pales, as you partly mentioned, when compared to the cost of fiber transceiving equipment. There are tons of 'dark' copper lines as well, that could sustain much greater data throughput than they currently do, but its all about how the data is handled at either end. The same goes for intercontinental runs. You think they are dropping cables one at a time? There is enough bundled up capacity for a long time, but it's 'dark' until it's cost effective to put the gear at either end to use it.
Terraserver was impressive in its day (circa 1998) but almost all the data is a decade or more old, in black and white, and 1p/m. Google's data is for the most part MUCH newer and in color. Same resolution though, i wont really be impressed until i can see a sat image of myself outside cutting my lawn.
If we were really dealing with an ideal 'invisible hand' at work, the smart, money-saving people would leave 'the' internet and start their own security-required network, which would quickly become the larger network and regain the distinction as 'the' internet, thereby forcing everyone on the 'old' internet to get secure in order to join up. But that doesn't happen, does it. Sadly, the invisible hand is only good at two things, truly open marketplaces, and giving you the finger.
why isnt this modded funny? Just because a peltier consumes electricity and shifts temps doesnt mean it works the same in reverse, not even close. sorry.
Im not a spelling nazi by any means, but I am an accuracy nazi, and the heroine model (whereby a company lures customers by appearing beautiful from a great distance and then appears ugly only AFTER their hair is used to ascend the tower wall) has little to do with this story. Perhaps you mean heroin, the popular and illegal drug whose addicts are lured by free/low cost doses and then once addicted are forced to pay an exorbitant amount.
As someone who helped LD kids in k-12 (while i myself was in k-12) its important to remember the differences between someone with LD and someone without. Many people assume that LD is some sort of delayed reaction, that eventually they will learn like a normal person, which just isnt true. Every avenue of enforcement is needed to effectively teach, computers or other 'single avenue' methods are largely useless. They will respond the best to a human teacher approaching them with a very diverse toolset, as opposed to being battered with the same approach like computer learning. Keep in mind its NOT easy and there is little precedent for acheiving good success with people who have LD.
Long term investments are when you WANT to take risk, because historically any unstable system becomes more stable when experienced over time. If you are investing for the long term get a nice diverse portfolio of 'mover and shaker' companies and ride the ups and downs, in the long run you will be better off than if you had put it in a low-risk mutual fund the whole time. As the cashout time nears (retirement), you take advantage of the fluctuations and move your money into more stable funds or bonds. Retirement Planning 101.
Has anyone considered that this might all be a ploy to create a space-borne vessel capable of taking over the world? Yeah, I figured I was the only one. Just wait and see...

Come on, they have a hard enough time stifling dupes from last WEEK. So they reported on something twice in over a year's span, cut them some slack!

Second off, inciteful ISNT A WORD. look it up. yeah, its not there.
no virus checkers huh... how can you be remotely certain then, that there are no viruses?
