What's to say they won't release a more expensive dual or quad GPU card with no video output, at a higher cost (profit margin)? This sort of move indicates that's what they're planning on doing. Buying single core cheaper video card units might cannibalize that market.

Don't get me wrong, the UN provides a useful dialogue for nations, but as for it's capacity to deal with and defuse major international crises, it's difficult to point to any situation where they weren't almost completely impotent to the crisis at hand.
What school system did you grow up in where you didn't take math placement tests? As early as 6th grade we were taking standardized math placement tests. Where you scored there placed you in either a remedial, regular, advanced, or the one super advanced class offered. Same thing applied in high school, you could double up algebra (or algebra2, depending on how you scored in middle school) with geometry and be taking calc2 by your senior year. Your math level affected your ability to take 2nd year physics and chemistry classes. On the english side we had ESOL, English, Honors English, and in 11th and 12th grade, AP English.
That's true; but the quality of the stone is a major factor too. Concrete wears away in 80 years, marble seems to do ok for 500+ years. How long has that rose granite egyptian obselisk stood outside in st peters square?
Some sort of obsidian? create a barcode? There's a vetran's war memorial in... DC? The surface is polished, but the words are "rough hewn" or sandblasted 0.5-1mm deep, "in" to the rock, giving you a lighter image. The image dissapears when it rains, though. DUnno how long polished rock retains it's polished look.
Double check your terminology there. The article specifically states glacier flow, not glacier melt in Antarctica. Glacier flow only occurs when you have lots of extra ice pushing more ice down the slope. Flow != Melt! It's way, way too cold in Antarctica for glaciers to melt anywhere on the actual landmass. Thinning ice shelf in this case is specifically due to improved glacial flow, pushing more ice out to where it can melt - in the sea.
The maps confirm that the profound ice sheet thinning of recent years stems from fast-flowing glaciers that empty into the sea.
Which... is sort of what healthy glaciers do. Thick, healthy glaciers flow quickly due to the pressure they exert on the deeper portions, giving the lower ice under pressure more plasticity. This could be construed as abnormally healthy glacial activity, but IANAAG (i am not an artic geologist).
I should note my liberal bias, democratic registration, and belief in global warming, else I get modded as a troll or flamebait (it happens a lot if I don't specify my political leanings, sadly, note my posting history...).
On the flip side, the southern US experiences "snow" perhaps 22-30 hours a year. Does this study account for "hard winters" here in Dallas where we saw 48 hours of snow, before it got back up into the mid 60's?
So what you're saying, is that this article only applies to babies born north of the mason-dixie line? Babies south of there, particularly west of the Mississippi, are exposed to mild winters that on many days in Chicago and Detroit might be called "fine summer days". The day after christmas here in Dallas, a lot of people take a stroll around white rock lake in the park, because it's 70 degrees and sunny. Dallas is only 1 arc minute north of Cairo, Egypt. Similar weather can be found in populus cities like New Orleans, Houston, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Reno, Los Angeles, San Diego and more. Something like 1/3rd of the US lives in this region and isn't affected by winter seasonal issues experienced in the great lakes area and new England area.
The reason companies like best buy have to loan money to buy stock is due to poor business practices and over-extending their credit to the absolute max to continue steady unsustainable growth to appease shareholders and for their own performance bonuses. I.E. a poor, short sighted business plan. The CIO of home depot saw they were doing the same thing, reined in their spending and are now cash flow positive with very little debt. Apple and IBM follow similar strategies and have plenty of cash in the bank to fund purchases.
All my games are "delivered" via Steam. I have ONE optical drive, it is to install operating systems on my systems, and does not stay in the case for long. Steam works better for Valve games and independent games; I bought SF4 (street fighter 4) with the hopes that it would sync up with my steam buddies list so I could "fight" them or challenge them right from the chat box. It will install through steam, but it (sadly) still uses windows live or whatever M$ calls it as a crutch. So I have the game, and online play, but it's not integrated in the same way that say, TF2 or L4D is. Once you have the ability to join someone's server, or invite them to your server, right from the chat box/in game overlay, it's hard to use something as kludgy as windows live.
But I mostly play TF2, CSS and DoD:S. And steam works brilliantly for that.
No, no you're thinking about this all wrong. You get 10,000 balloons, each carrying 0.1t, and attach them like you would baloons to a lawn chair. Then, when you get the the desired altitude, you just pull out your BB gun and... wait, I think I read about this somewhere else already...
I think you are confusing "analysis" with something you learned on Fox News.
Aha! "Fox News", the new "well then you're hitler" of internet arguments! I addressed who and why in my post, are you saying I'm incorrect? If so, then who petitioned for the lawsuit?
Who brought the suit, and who filed friend of the court briefings? Who pushed for the appeal, and who pays for the campaign contributions for those elected officials who decided to pursue the appeal? How deep does the rabbit hole go? Follow the money.
Let's take a step back here and examine who brought this suit up, and what their intentions are. I think schools call this "analysis". You may have failed that portion; that's ok. Most schools don't grade on it anymore anyways.
Why would anyone give a damn what sugar beets, low producing or high production versions, do to the environment? They're a crop being grown on land specifically devoted (physically and legally) for the production of food/sugar. The only people who have a problem with this (and likely the people who brought the suit) are fringe "liberals"/eco-fanatics. Lawsuits (and their endless appeals process) are their primary weapon against "genetically modified" foods (which face it, if you read about it in depth, isn't one eigth as scary as it sounds, "genetically modified" food crops are essentially selectively bred strains. Which is why this lawsuit is frivilous, and the fact that the end product is a highly refined product with no health risk is what makes this particularly frustrating. If this was a suit against a crop of food eaten raw, like say, pineapples or potatoes, then yes this would be an issue, but AFAIK sugar beets aren't avalible nationally at grocerystores.
This is on par with banning sea salt because they came up with a more efficient evaporation process. With the exception of turbinado (i.e. raw sugarcane extract) and molasses, white cane/beet sugar is 99%+ pure. Who cares if the DNA of the plant is different from the previously "genetically modified" breed of sugar beet? Sugar Beet is right up there with modern corn, strawberries and wheat in terms of plants that have been bred to produce 1000x what the plant produces naturally in the wild. There is no DNA in white sugar, and any that was in the Turbanado or Molasses was destroyed in the boiling process.
So is that why everyone was so fascinated about a meteorite exploding just off the ground in Russia? It could have triggered a ground sensor and activated the "Dead Hand" perimeter? Perhaps that explosion was a bomb that went off prematurely? I'm guessing (hoping) we have more than one type of sensor that's required to be triggered to "ignite the fuse" on one of these systems. Who's to say China doesn't have a knockoff system they bought from the Russians?
You'd need 58.82 million 9-track tapes. What are the dimensions of a 9 track tape, and what type of station wagon? I'm assuming 1964 vintage? Assuming 100 tapes per car, that's 5.8 million station wagons, or 1000 tapes per car, that's 588,000 station wagons. Are we including roof rack space?

If you're doing fixed height/lighting camera photography, you might as well just buy a cheapo screw mount macro lens + screw mount adapter.

Consider it a licensing fee for the player data/stats, the game tweaks are free! How much did you pay for that licensed jersey?

I once saw an HP calc in the discount bin at office depot. Buried deep, under a pile of rubbish, scrawled on the back in angry sharpie it read:
Not a TI-83!
I left it there and went to find a TI calc
