AMD and Intel both have.9 in their near future plans. That production should be occuring within a year or so, I think. I don't really see what the point of this story is, companies build plants all the time.
The difference here is that he is an American. American's don't mind if foreign people are arrested, but will probably take issue with an american being arrested for an academic presentation. A little strange, and sad, but I think it is somewhat true.
Hopefully they will arrest them....I know these days constitutional rights are not in style, but you would have to think a court would rule that an academic presentation is speech. How could they not?
Well, IANAL, but I think the only concern of bankruptcy is how to settle with creditors. In the case of Chapter 11, it also involves restructuring the company to run in the black again.
Employees are creditors in terms of salary owed, but being small creditors you have to get in line behind all the banks, vendors, etc. that have larger stakes.
In other words, you maybe keep your job, and if not you may get lucky and get paid before you're let go. But dont count on it.
I haven't flown in about 3 years, and this year I have taken 10 flights. I wasn't searched on the first 8, but was searched on the last two. The first time I was searched I had set off the metal detector, so that was a given. The other I think was random....
Well he can travel anywhere he wants in north america by car, bike, or walking. Also, even if the feds got rid of this rule, all airlines would choose to do it anyway. Why can't he spend his energy fighting something like closed immigration hearings, the patriot act, or the dmca instead? This would actually have a positive effect!
Smith heads a subcommittee on crime, which held hearings that drew endorsements of CSEA from a top Justice Department official and executives from Microsoft and WorldCom
The funny thing is that the biggest threat to the internet right now is WorldCom itself....since they own UUnet and are going seriously bankrupt. Of course UUnet will stay alive somehow, either by WorldCom, sold to someone else, or through a government bailout. The major backbones and networks are really in a pretty powerful position, since they control major portions of the internet.
I bought an OS free system not too long ago and found that they don't really carry PCs in store. They typically have 2-3 boxed PCs available on a shelf that most employees can't really find. This was in the 3 stores I checked in my area, but it could be widespread....
They will do the same thing they do now...make you give them a MAC address to connect with any given ethernet card. You could put a router in front of it if you want, I suppose. In other words nothing has changed. But for the average consumer this could be very cool....part of the problem with cable modem is that it only connects one machine and then you have to build your own home network. Now you can just get more wireless cards, which have become cheap, and you're all set.
Actually, everyone except Hertz rents to people under $25, usually for a $20 per day fee ($10 per day in the case of enterprise). A useful note to those of us under 25, Thrifty has a Collegiate plan that waives their underage fee, gives a discount on the rental rate, and charges no fee for additional drivers if you attend certain universities. I just rented a car for 4 days and saved about $120 net from the best deal I could find otherwise.
I know you can get pretty thoroughly lost in a small area, but if you're in the mountains AND you're within range of a cell tower it seems like you would be close to getting out anyway.
Just experiment until you get more bars on your signal indicator. And hope like hell there is no cell tower on the summit of K2!
I think you analogy is flawed....cars only have one configurations for allowing access or not, and that is whether it is locked or not. Better analogy would be security in a large building. Lots of people need to enter for legitamate reasons, but narrow reasons. Security needs to make sure there are cameras in the parking garage, that you have to badge your way in to secure areas, etc. If security opens the building and heads for a strip club thats bad, and if they're vigilant and make sure each person has the correct level of access thats good.
It's no wonder that Europe and Japan create fancy new technology and implement it left and right (maglev trains, alternative fuel cars, etc), while America sticks to inventing weapons of war, new food additives, and new ways to patent/copyright information so that nobody can use it
We don't invent that stuff because we can't make billions of dollars doing it. Weapons, additives, and IP are highly profitable.

Or you could teach the kid numbers. They have to learn it anyway, and a three year old better not be carrying any bills higher than 1s anyway!

Different sized bills sound like a pain in the ass to me....I carry my money loose in my pocket, so it would be annoying to have 4 different sizes. Right now, I can just line them all up, fold them in half, and in they go. Being able to know how much I've got just by feel doesn't really excite me too much.
One thing about this...the walmarts in my area don't really carry computers. I bought one of the OS-free systems a few weeks back, and I wanted to get it at the store to save on shipping and so I would have it immediately. I went to a couple and they had only HP's with windows, and only 2-3 on the shelves (yes, on shelves....no display units, the employees didn't even know they had them).
this is a website only product, at least in my area...
But, it has to be a robust service. That means high bit rate, no restrictions, and I better have access to their entire catalog including brand new releases. It could be a bit cheaper though, since they don't have any distribution and packaging costs.....
Are you sure? A lot of companys are more familiar with per seat licensing. Having to pay for every copy makes it seem like it must be useful and productive software. In a bizarre, twisted sort of way this could be the way to get people to switch away from MS!
The article was saying that this was generally meant for transportation use of oil. They have a lot of busses and fishing trawlers and stuff over there and therefore end up with a high per capita amount of greenhouse emissions. So, they want to switch to engines that use hydrogen.
I've never had a defective phone, but I've had a lot of computer equipment go bad on me. Also, if you're having a problem with your phone they will usually ask you to plug a different phone into the jack to see if that solves it. Most people don't have extra cable modems.
My experience is just the opposite. I upgraded from a celeron 300 2 years ago to a P3 500....and the system was terrible. Not a bit faster than the machine I upgraded from. This week I got an Athlon 1.53Mhz system, and it is absolutely amazing. Incredibly fast....I know there's a lot more involved here than processors, but I really like my Athlon system.
Just a small side note here....I just got a Athlon 1.53 machinge without an OS from walmart this week ($600) and it is so damn fast I can hardly believe it. The memory and everything is bigger and faster too, but this was really a relief to me because my last computer I bought 2 years ago (a dell with a P3) was a dog....it didn't seem any faster than the Celeron 300 I upgraded from.
Anyway, I incidentally read on Tom's Hardware a couple of weeks ago that Intel came up with a new core that is much cheaper to make and is a good performer. I wonder if this is the reason for the cuts. I wish AMD the best of luck though, competition is good and I'm a satisfied AMD customer.

But then again, I always though math was evil, so I guess this works for me.

Anyway, I think its just luck more than anything.

Thats just my point....you can do it with a router with wireless, just like you can now with regular connections.
