'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
Erm... Does C-64 assembler work anything like A2600? As A5200 was the next gen of A2600, it's quite likely the assemblers work similarly, even if it's not directly compatible...
I guess anonymity makes doing a age demographics on anger difficult. But I wonder if rage is more prevalent for pubescent teens looking for an avenue to vent than any other group and whether they would "grow" out of it.
Sorry, once the government has adopted something you can't get rid of it. You can change it for better or worse (usually worse) but it is there for ever.
In that case, since they keep extending the DST anyway (it's ~7 months now), why not extend it to year round.
Maybe we'll keep Feb 29 on "standard time" because we can't "get rid of it"
Why doesn't anyone patent the patent troll methodology. This way, anyone trying the Patent Troll Procedure can be sued for whatever they are suing other people for?
I truly hope the employees lose in this case, as I consider it unasked for overtime. Completely voluntary overtime.
But isn't your boss sending you a message at 10PM and giving you a blackberry so that he knows you can receive it an implicit request to work overtime?
I've always wanted to watch Olympics, but it's just so painful to find the event you want, wait for it to air, watch the boring "human story" of the american athletes who are expected to place 4th or 5th because it isn't US's best event, all to get to a few minutes of events. I tend to give up quickly
Recently, I watched a swimming qualifier after recording it. After getting rid of the crap, an hour of coverge was 15 minutes of a great swimming meet! I even watched a couple of the post event interviews.
If you combine this with the Chinese cyber-attacks on India, it would make a lot of sense. Maybe Chinese routers are injecting random packets on data going to India?
In the distant future... When aliens come on the charred remains of earth, they salvage the digital remains of the human civilization.
Alien cultural scientists studies the record and analysed the DNA data recorded. They evaluated whether the species should be resuscitated thru cloning.
Unfortunately, this was finally rejected because they found that overwhelming number of the recorded DNA was found to contain anti-social genes and concluded that the humans were fundamentally flawed in that they were anti-social and when the society hit critical mass, they self-destructed
If it's still soft... wouldn't that mean the woman's not that attractive? I think that the most attractive women have the ability to turn software to hardware
Then ride mass transit If you don't live near one. Move. If there is none serving your area, talk to your reps to build one instead of roads and bridges to nowhere. US has been dismantling mass transit system for roads for 70+ years because gasoline is so cheap, now we're paying the price
// Use 1TB of RAM char *ptr=malloc(1099511627776); memset(ptr,1,1099511627776); Hmmm... I think size_t for 32bit systems only go up to 10^32-1 (1099511627775). I also recall that size_t doesn't expand for 64bit systems... So the above code might be a little problematic.
Your idea is true if the environment truly rewards the forward looking. Large companies don't like risks because they have a great deal to lose. So, they do things like lay-offs, off-shoring to cut costs because that is the least risky way to increase profit in the short term.
Sure, if a 200mpg car came out tomorrow, there will be massive profits. But that assumes that the technology to achieve it is already a commodity. In reality, there will be years of research before this happens. But, to a company just looking at the next quarter, it is an insane risk that the shareholders would not stand for.
However, what a prize like this does is that it creates a risk to the company that if they don't start investing in it, someone else will and reap the guaranteed $10M and vast competitive advantage. Also, this raises the awareness of the expected goal so when investors evaluate which group to fund, they can evaluate rationally. Without something like this, companies are just as happy not doing anything because they think that it's so hard that no one would take on the risk to invest in it.
Well, my Dell xv50 from 2004, with 624MHz ARM, wi-fi, assisted GPS, CF slot, SD slot, etc has everything you listed except for the camera, which can be offset with the VGA display vs your QVGA. Mine lasts ~2 days with heavy use too. So, how much is it better?
It has been at least 3 yrs between your model and mine and where is the improvement? It's 2 Moore cycles
Moore's Law may be an observation, but has held true for the semiconductor industry when there is competition. Since Intel held a monopoly in the ARM market, it has not improved the tech. Much as how Moore's Law slowed down for desktop and notebook in late 90's until AMD gave Intel a thrashing. The main difference from desktop to mobile device is that there is much less competition because all the distributers are monopolies that just want to race to the bottom
Apps demand the processing power, but with limited selection of CPU, apps have to bend over backwards to limit itself. Portable devices need an AMD to do something to kickstart the competition.
So, my original statement stands, mobile convergent devices will still be crap until we at LEAST break the GHz barrier.
CPU on smart phone/PDA has capped at 600MHz for the past 6 years. This is quite sad. This has been 4 gens of Moore's Law and nothing has improved. Resolution has gone to VGA, but has dropped to QVGA. Until the smart phone processors go > 1GHz, smartphones just won't achieve the promise of the convergent device.
It may be criminally insane, but that's the Microsoft way!
It's also the default behavior for OS X.
You can check out any time you like, you just can never leave.
Are you referring to file extensions or criminal insanity? I ran OS X 10.4 and 10.5 with default settings (I'm a noob to Macs) and I always see file extensions...
Almost everyone in the middle east gets a higher education degree. Do you have information which backs up about how everyone in the middle east gets a higher degree? It might be true in spots of middle east (even then, are women a part of this "everyone"?), but it's quite a bold generalization for the entire region

I think that the FCC fine would be for indecency as all the car spokesmodels would be wearing no clothes

How about doing it via Paypal instead of direct deposit or check?

of the images you took by analyzing the different angles. Instead, it's just photostitching and swapping to different photos.
but with the different resolutions and lighting conditions, results are a bit iffy.
Though, if enough photos are stitched, you can get a virtual walk through.
It would be fun if there are more people in the tourist photos so that you can "walk past" people.
thanks for the easy to read translation
except that nw might mean network?

Well, as the page is for the year 2000, the mortality rate of PotUS is 0. 1963 was a bad year, with 50% mortality rate

In that case, he should have addressed the issue instead of pointing fingers at a fine, productive programming language
