Also, because I felt like on the C=64 I really understood what was going on at the hardware level. You knew the machine inside/out, top-to-bottom (at least a lot of people did). It's really hard to get that same kind of feeling these days with high level languages, code libraries and code bloat, and hardware abstraction layers.
It would be naive to think the same kind of system could exist in this day and age of networked computers and malicious hackers, but back then it was nigh impossible to get into something that a simple power cycle wouldn't fix.
If we were made from anti-matter, we'd call that matter, and call matter anti-matter. TFS summary starts out with the statement that the universe began with equal amounts of matter and anti-matter. Are we sure there were equal amounts? It seems like there must have been more of one than the other. Why that would be is the real question in my mind.
Well that would present a problem! One would then wonder how those creative terrorists managed to get a jet engine to operate outside of an atmosphere.:)
But seriously, wouldn't you just compare the timing of the signals received from the jetliner of interest with the timing signals received from other, less hijacked, planes and based on their more reliable locations figure out what distance 370 must have sent from?
Not only that, but student loans are one of the few types of debt that are not normally discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. It's pretty much with you for life. You'd be better off putting your tuition on a credit card than taking out a student loan for it. Starting off that far in the whole with student loans is one of the worst mistakes you can make, unless you really understand what you are taking on.
What should concern you here is that the police simply removed the occupant that objected to the search and then obtained consent from the remaining occupant (who probably saw what happened to contestant #1 and didn't care to share the same fate).
I have an 80 GB IDE hard drive in my old desktop machine that's still alive and kicking from - I'm not even sure how old it is. At least 10 years, I'd say. I use it for temporary storage.
Don't mean to imply that it does. I'm just commenting on how things got to this point. Also, I would add that the iPod / iPhone have been extremely key in keeping the Mac viable as well, although more so in people's homes and not the corporate world. But rewind the clock 20 years, and most people probably didn't have a computer at home.
I was in a big engineering school back in the early 90's, and I had to take a technical writing class. I was randomly enrolled into a 'special' version of the class - the first that was going to be all done on Mac's. We had plenty of other computers around back then, mostly PC's and SparcStations. The only place the Mac was used was in the humanities writing lab; I'm not sure there were any other ones anywhere on campus. That was their niche. They couldn't run the technical software we used in other classes and normal students could never afford one for their dorm room. This was the hole they started from.
Mac's [sic] never made it in the corporate space because they were monolithic and overpriced. With a PC, you could put one together with as few or as many different components as you wanted, of varying capabilities according to your needs, and different hardware manufacturers would compete driving innovation and dropping prices. Also, PC's had a head start. Before there were Windows or Macs, there was MSDOS. There was a lot of software written for DOS and Windows would run them (mostly). Or at least allow them to be run. This was a big deal. The deck was stacked against the Mac from the start. Having said that, I'm still impressed that they're still around and doing quite well.
They ought to allocate $100 or $200 of the purchase price for a 'free' inspection by a licensed electrician of the main charging location. They could even use it as an opportunity to try to sell charging accessories.

That would make it a rogue planet.
So, trying to keep it on the D/L?

Yep. I'll skip Win8 altogether, I think, and wait for 9.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity, and as with everything we make here, all profits are pushed straight back into educating kids in computing.

Yes.
Yes, I did. Shouldn't post before coffee!
OK then. Tell me the exact value of the diameter of a circle divided by its radius, in base 10 please.
One look at the current state of the world's ecosystems and a small amount of insight into human nature should answer that question easily.

Combine this with the story from earlier in the day. Problem solved.
Of course, Comcast owns NBC and Universal Studios.
I'll be gone if forced into Slashbeta. At least once I figure out where the consensus is for a good alternative.
Tell that to a penguin or an ostrich.
Jelly Bean can already do that. There is another comment below that mentions how to do it in Kit Kat.

Spam City, here we come. Why is this opt-out instead of opt-in? Because nobody would want it.
