I took a tire off my car and dropped it on the ground. Suddenly the Earth had a wheel. Now the Earth is not only the largest car, but also the fastest -- going around the Sun at 67,000 mph....
I've yet to build a rig or deal with the wondrous thermal goo, but isn't it a *terrible* idea to put magic marker on one of these chips? Looking at a Sharpie MSDS, the ink boils at 207F. O_o;
While marking 990x on his chip may look cute for a picture, I'm picturing in a my mind a comedic gas build up and separation from the heat sink the first time he loads it.
Wait... wouldn't he just need a license for the first one? Upgrades cost less than a full license, right? -searches- Looks like an upgrade to Win7 home is $120 while the full license is $200. I wonder how much it'd cost to buy Win 1.0 then upgrade to 7 as quickly as possible? I don't wonder too much though, because I'm not willing to look it up.
I had an interesting experience with this just yesterday. I purchased a book on building a PC for my nook. In the first few pages, there was an advertisement to "upgrade the ebook to a DRM free version" for an additional $5 (the initial book was $18, so it was reasonable). I was intrigued, this was something I had never seen before. I went ahead and spent the $5 just for the experience.
They ended up providing me with 4 additional formats: APK, ePub, Mobi, and PDF. Additionally, they guaranteed me that additional updates would be made available free of charge for life. I don't know if this means free new editions to the text or simply updates to the edition I purchased. I'm curious how it'll turn out in a few years when a new edition comes out. If they notify me in email that that I may download it for free, that would be quite nice.
How can you study this kind of thing using robots? No matter what you do, you can't simulate small children well enough to make people act the same around the robot as a real kid. It's a nice concept, but it'll never get anything done except entertain. Plus I bet we'll never hear about this again in the US.
I remember reading how when people encounter a robot for the first time, they avoid eye contact out of respect until they realize it's a robot they're talking to. All you have to fool is the casual observer to get human reactions. But then, even a casual observer may notice a disembodied head being atypical....
Another thought: "curse words" are bad, but actually placing a curse on someone is fine. People wish drastic and graphic misfortune on others, but so long as they do it with the established acceptable phrasing, then no one bats an eyelash. I think someone lost the key point somewhere.
Thank you sir for reminding me of the "how to measure the height of a building with a barometer" jokes.:D Similarly, most of my methods to identify the bacteria would be infecting people or other obnoxious choices.
Yes! I came across that feature when looking into them further yesterday, very interesting! I'm hoping that will develop into a discount for future editions of a book already owned. I always like to have a copy of the latest technical bible available.:D
If I buy a $70 ebook for a class, finish the class, then want to sell the ebook, will I ever be able to do that? A year ago there was speculation about possibly sending the original publisher a cut every time such a transfer took place in a dedicated market, a type of ebay for ebooks. Anyone know of more recent developments on this? This is one of the biggest turn offs for me with digital content, steam especially.
I'm still wanting direct thought control. It'd be worth the long initial training session to sit back and nom cheetos while gaming. Who games to develop hand/eye coordination anyway?
The easter eggs would be really fun. They could have your character stop and take a long swig of a drink if you think about being thirsty and such.
Seriously, mod this guy and the parent up! This is the best thing I've *ever* read amidst all the opinions on this topic.
Let's do this and keep track of which is which in the air. If the lesser-security flight deviates from it's course, shoot it down. Have the passengers agree that they're willing to die and forfeit any right of their families to get reparations.
Scenario 1.) Airport gets bombed and people are angry. "What?! He tweeted about it, why didn't anyone pay attention to him!?!"
Scenario 2.) Man is investigated, found innocent, taxes are raised to pay for it, and people are angry. "What?! Why was this investigated?! Waste of my money!"
Scenario 3.) Man is investigated, found innocent, individually fined to pay for it, and people are angry. "What?! His rights were violated! Defend the tweeter against The Man!!"
I think the word "planet" comes from a Greek word meaning "roaming star". This was assigned to stars that seemed to move in a direction different from the other stars in the sky. So if you want to really think of the classic definition, Earth isn't a planet either. ^.^
(I remember reading about the sphere thing, also. That one sounded good to me.)

The article lured me in also. :D
The browser for the Wii is Opera-based.... I wonder if the "videogames are evil' people will jump on this?

People can just focus their rage on the *expletive* *expletive* *expletive* good for *expletive* *expletive* city council.
*expletive* those guys.
Agreed. I like how the summary refers to "private parts of social network accounts". Ummmmmmm.....? This is a joke, right?
Inhuman? So are animals tagging each other with GPS locators now? Those dolphins and their paranoia, always hiding amongst my tuna....

Don't forget that saying certain words is also unacceptable....
Why do these kids need a full powered laptop and can't just have a Kindle with (or without) unlimited 3G.
Because laptops will make it easier for them to do our tech support in a couple years. Boom! :P)
(Also of note, the nook is better.

Amen.
Also,
DO NOT WANT in-game advertising for DLC, it's annoying and breaks the mood.
DO WANT my gamepad to work and not just the xbox 360 controller.
Terrorize!

Used ebook market, will there be one?

Do you have a linkie for a poll or something? My worldwide telepathy is on the fritz.
