Only an extremely small subset of PS3s actually can play PS2 games out of the box. Even fewer don't entirely depend on poor software emulation to do it.
It also means that for a full year, you've been wasting 3 cores for no purpose at all when you could've used them right away otherwise. I'm sorry but whichever way I'm looking at, this is the very definition of getting shafted. Would you want your Ferrari's 5th gear to be an unlockable?
Currently the most usable way would indeed be to make a quantum processing unit that latches onto an otherwise classical computer, a bit like how a graphics card works. However, quantum computers are useful for way, way more than just quantum physics. Quantum crypto and solving NP-complete problems faster would just be two small examples of what we can do with it, but remember: quantum physics, particularly quantum computing, are a young field. You should expect more and more possibilities as we move on, especially once actual quantum computers exist (IE not just a handful of qubits).
I'm in physics in Canada and there's absolutely no calculator allowed. All you have is a pencil, an eraser and a sharpener/additional lead. But I don't think you meant physics as much as you meant engineering, where there'll obviously be more numbers. People don't have TIs in physics, they have a basic Sharp scientific calculator.
Half of the site is one giant image, no site navigation, barely any styling, hardcoded CSS in the tags, Windows-only typefaces... Oh, and a meta tag saying it's built with FrontPage. And an @aol.com address.
This may not be Mosaic, but I'm sure they were taken aback when GeoCities folded and they had to move.
Not all things can be FOSS. The author still needs to eat. All the FOSS is being built off a handful of possible situations: 1) hobbyists 2) companies selling services based on FOSS 3) donations. The problem is that 2 can't be applied to books, 3 only works for a very small proportion of authors (if at all) and you probably wouldn't want to read 1 anyways.
I like FOSS, I dislike the money-grabbing schemes that DRM usually implies, but you need to think about the authors, too. They're already getting shafted by the publishers, yet most authors are dependent on their editors to do the work. This isn't a situation that can be just as easily resolved as to say "all books should be free, screw the authors!"
I also doubt they're designed for the rough treatment some students can do. I've seen laptops with pencils in the screen or shattered keyboards within a few months, and the parents had bought the laptops.
A calorie is a measurement of energy, just like Joules. 1000 calories is the same no matter where you take it from. If you eat 1000 calories but burn 1500, then you will lose weight.
What you're saying is that there are other factors to being healthy than just calorie intake, which is true, but that wasn't the point of the GP.
Which would be fairly ironic considering how Bing's search results were strongly suspected of being altered when it first began (remember the Linux-related searches?).
That's like saying that your understanding of psychology is flawed because you speak English. The numbering system has absolutely nothing to do with what we're dealing with here. You could count in base 8, 24 or in bananas and it wouldn't change a thing. Roman numerals are just a different way of writing a base 10 numbering system. They don't have any bearing in the results, only in the ease of writing numbers.
And finally, being a physician or a chemist wouldn't help much... Maybe you meant mathematician and physicist?:)
Then what's the point of the rebranding? The AMD brand will not get any further visibility - it was already there on full AMD systems and it will not be there on Intel/ATi systems. ATi the brand itself has good reputation and strong recognition among those who actually buy the stuff with the knowledge of what they buy, so phasing out the name just sounds like a corporate bad decision.
I'm still of the opinion that e-learning can work... up to a point. You need face-to-face interaction once you reach a certain level of complexity. Online universities don't have much of a reputation, and for good reason: interaction with teachers and other students is absolutely critical at that point. It not only helps you solve problems and understand things more effectively, it also allows you to share and hear new ideas and thoughts that others might voice, making you a more aware, more diverse being thanks to it. You simply cannot replace the totally impromptu discussions you sometimes have with other students.
E-learning can have its place, but I see it more as a supplement to the "real" teaching (good for revising) than anything else.
When you go public and start speaking about it, if something suddenly happens who do you think they're going to go look for first? If I say I'm going to kill somebody and then that person dies, it's obvious that, whether I did kill him or not, I'll get suspected. The same applies here. You could say they know how to hide their traces but really, they probably think it's just not worth their time. They don't get paid for this; criminals do.
It would normally be up to the governments to hire white hats to purge those botnets. Until then, I just don't see the situation evolving. White hats and computer geeks (i.e. those who would be best-placed to do something about it) don't really get affected by the spam because they know how to filter, counter and identify it.
Your wording seems to indicate contempt. White hats or security experts unfortunately have their hands tied. They probably know how to take down the botnet, but that involves illegal activity. While the criminals are hampered by no such things, the lawful guys are stuck with it: anything they'd do that would be essentially good would get them jailed.
So making a good product is something you should be liable about? You're basically saying that if a restaurant makes good food and someone gets obese by eating there too much, they can sue the restaurant for getting them fat in the first place. Can't you see it is utter nonsense?
I'm all for being accountable for your actions, but there's a limit. Do you seriously think people will stop drinking and partying? People want to have fun without always thinking about how it'd look like on a resume. People will do dumb things. Should they drag you down? No. If you were to apply this stance to all the population, I think 80% of them wouldn't have a job right now because they had one party that went a bit far or they did something "inappropriate" at some point in their life. Blowing some firecrackers or getting framed for something you haven't done should definitely not fuck you for life.

But by looking you change where you are, so that doesn't work...

You can say that comparing the Beatles to your average band is disingenuous at best. The context just can never be matched.

Yet I think everyone will agree that Kevin was a much better spokesperson/campaigner than Marcus ever will be.

Protecting your laptop from open source commies. And maybe viruses.

Who doesn't want to make weird faces to their phone to enter a password for their bank?

Plus that new game looks like a travesty. Have you seen the cartoonish graphics and what looks like quest markers!?
Or the permanently online or you're screwed Ubisoft games.
