These companies have spent billions brainwashing us to think that we actually want these things. The new evolutionary strength is going be people's ability to filter out media and advertising. Wise Up.
The entire processor business cycle has revolved around paying for today's R&D and tomorrows Fab with wildly inflated processor prices. The last year or two has seen a precipitous drop in prices. How is Intel supposed to fund it's future efforts?
Muzzle loaded, smoothbore, single shot flintlocks. Of course, the idea of giving a person today's concealable automatic ceramic-barreled teflon-round armed killing machines would have been complete anathema even to Patrick Henry, and
In the spirit of the amendment, people were given the right to bear arms that were equivalent to what was available to the military. If they meant smooth-bored flintlocks they would of said so. Besides, you could probably count the number of murders committed with automatic ceramic-barreled teflon-round armed killing machines on one hand.
I know someone that covers their wrox books so they don't see the glazed stares of the authors. I just scratch their eyes out with a pocketknife. The covers of my Oreilly books never weird me out....
You have a technical lead to solve sneaky problems that come up, and a bunch of vb/java/.net humps to crank out the business logic. We can't all be Einstein, can we?
The patient, a 40-year-old Michigan man with diabetes, seems to have caught the bug off an infected catheter inserted while he was in the hospital for the amputation of a gangrenous toe
Couldn't it be that this person's immune system is so compromised that no AB would cure him? He's one breath away from a corpse.
Computers have been in use for more than fifty years. At fifty years cars were pretty much mature. Iron ships follow about the same timeline. Liquid Rockets, same thing. jet plane. Skyscraper. Spinning reels. Not much has changed has it?
Are computers really going to change that much in the future? Any technology goes through an s-curve of innovation.. Then it levels off. How different is you car now than from 50 years ago? Although there are changes/improvements in ergonomics/pollution/reliability, the format is the same. Do we really need a change in the basic desktop format? Why would I want a 3-d desktop? The fact of the matter is what is now available enables 99% of the users to do what they want to get done. The problem with computers is finding problems to solve that fit the computing parigdigm.
Because just determining the criteria for land use would take up a huge volume at work. When you base a statistic on a shakey/unproved/undisclosed methodologies, your accuracy is going to be off. It isn't like we are talking about the number of red marbles in a cup.
This is as silly as saying that 22% of the earth is covered by clouds. You mean right now? What about yesterday? How thick are the clouds? How accuratly are we measuring the irregularities in their shapes?

Didn't some joker make an essay with exactly the same structure about the Star Wars Movies? I think I have seen it posted on /.

Is an economic law, not a physical one. Lack of demand for high-powered processors is going to slow the progression in processor speeds.
can it get drunk?

I think mac users are attracted to the 'BOING' sound of a reboot.

but they really should have done so when they designed Windows
What os didn't need security fixes after it was released?

How is this a beginner's book? A much smaller book will do. Maybe K&R should write one.
Yeah, but don't underestimate the hamsters at /. They are pretty brite for a bunch of little rodents.
So what would it have cost to make a pentium 4 30 years ago? (adding in the cost of all the R&D and capital costs) or for that matter 80 years ago?
Don't forget what the cost of a pound of conventional fuel is when it is shot into space.
It didn't help the Soviet goverment very much...
what does 'Soilent Green' have to do with being poor? I have never heard of poor people eating each other, only soccer teams do this.
Anyone looked at the HTML output from an office program? It's terrrible. Do you think their xml will look any better?

Anything with a number like that makes me laugh. You sure it's not 82%?
