I agree, I think the change is alot about the marketing power of Intel (as opposed to AMD), but I'd go further to say that the change has been in the pipes for a long long time and that the reason Apple had to stick with PPC for so long is because they had to; to transition from Classic MacOS was hard work enough, and just wouldn't have been possible to change to Intel instantly, note the lack of a classic environment on Intel.
That being said, I think it's actually Coke that has the #1 brand name in the world.
no it doesn't. only mentions country - not culture. are you suggesting that only semites live in Israel? or maybe only semites could obtain PHD's in Israel?
I think your reference to semitism is plain OOO.
actually, your "joke" about a checkpoint firewall actually infers racism.
Yo genius: maybe you should reread the post. I believe they mean the replacement battery only holds charge for a few minutes. He didn't say the original battery didn't hold charge when it was replaced.
Prositutes have to pay tax (and have legitimate deductions for things like condoms and lube), and there is a Prositutes Collective (though that may not be government run) looking after their rights and working conditions. Whore houses are legal, and pay taxes like any other 'service', reasonably freely advertisable, even street walkers have rights.
...I guess it's not exactly sponsored, unless you count the tax deductions...
what I think he was trying to say is that he met someone in highschool that literally believed that the earth was created 4,000 BC (around 6,000 years ago).
SO, what are you saying? That millions upon millions of Americans believe the earth to be around 6,000 years old?
Other countries that are much smaller geographically can pull off high speed internet to the vast majority of their population for much cheaper with significantly less required infrastructure.
...you guys still work in the imperial system. Your road system uses miles. That may very well be because to change all the road signs would cost too much, when the advantage is negligible.
I moved to Australia from New Zealand about a year ago, I can see the same things happen here, simply because the infrastructure is so huge. Little old NZ moves waaay quicker when a new technology arrives. In fact it is often used as a test bed for new tech' because we have small cities with a comparable demographic to larger ones without having to invest so much money to see if things will work.
I'm living in Syndey now, geographically it's roughly the same size as Auckland, but it has the same population as the ENTIRE country of New Zealand. I guess it's a matter of populational intertia.
Considering that ice ages tend to disrupt hydro power generation and occur rather more frequently than once every hundred thousand years, I'd say that nuclear power is less finite than hydro power.
um...how many ice ages have we had in the last 100 years?
Thomas is a 30-year pioneer whose projects include a computer with a 3D display, instant response, able to run every available OS and application simultaneously, virtually no power consumption or moving parts and complete security - and whose physical component is about the size of a pack of playing cards.
I mean really. If its for advertising, its probably just going to pick up key words, I'd be surprised if they could write an effective algorithm to understand context right now.
consider "I dont hate the Xbox", or "I'd hate it if the Xbox...[was more expensive or whatever]", or "I wish the Xbox would fsck write off"
does software do a good job of determing context currently?...or is it going to just be trained to spot XYZ sponsored product?...what if it came across a junk mail folder not 'appropriately' titled and started targeting you with more enlargement "medicine" ?
McDonald's seems to be doing OK only selling hamburgers.
No. They now sell alot more than just hamburgers. Remember a few years ago they were losing huge amounts of their profits and growth (probably around the time Upsize Me was released). Then they came up with the profound idea of giving people a healthier alternative, ala McSalad and McPiece of Fruit or whatever they call their new menus.
people do get bored, but often they are slow to realise they're bored. It will happen eventually to GTA.
It should be understood that the word light in the acronym LASER is meant in the expansive sense, as photons of any energy; and is not limited to photons in the visible spectrum. Hence there are X-ray lasers, infrared lasers, ultraviolet lasers, etc. Because the microwave equivalent of the laser, the maser, was developed first, devices that emit microwave and radio frequencies are usually called masers. In early literature, particularly from researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, the laser was often called the optical maser. This usage has since become uncommon, and as of 1998 even Bell Labs uses the term laser[1].

but I dont think you can have an omnidirectional light, I'm fairly sure that by definition a laser concentrates light to go in phase, and in generally the same direction.
It is only the social constructs that make information a commodity. A nice analogue is the court of law (it's not a court of justice - otherwise technicalities would not get people off the hook). All of the written law is available in libraries for free, yet people pay a lawer to spout out the information, you're not paying for the information, your paying for the convenience of access to it (and the filtration process involved).
It's quite funny really, reminds me of the indigenous peoples view of reality when settlers wanted to buy the land. They just nodded, smiled and thought they were crazy. Own the land? we are part of the land. If anything owns anything, we are owned by the land. Just part of the ebb and flow, particles of the eco system.

yeah,... but it's Windows Vista, maybe if they'd called it Defenders Window?

that's something to do with the amount of fibre in your diet. If it's really that bad, you could install some ventilation in your bathroom :)
"I'm not sure about everybody else, but my wrist mostly moved, NOT my arm."
yeah, but did you notice that your wrist is actually connected to your arm? or did your elbow also rotate by the same amount as your wrist?
mine doesn't, so that means that the two bones are twisting, just like in the diagram.
I think the diagram is reasonably accurate.
yup, here clipped from Wikipedia, under "Laser"
