It would take a couple of years to develop a new processor architecture, and get chips out based on it. This has been in the works for a while now, and I'm pretty sure it would have been part of the road-map shown to Apple.
We don't have bar codes on the plates, but in Texas, they've started bar coding the registration stickers on the windows. Some police departments do have scanners in the cars, but they only read at contact distances.
There's a simple answer to this: Any attempt by my employer to tell me who I can or can't communicate with outside of work will be met with my resignation.
I have a skill-set which is very much in demand, and I'll have no problem finding a new job if I want one.
What will you be doing on this network? Do you have an idea what operating system you'll be running? What are your storage requirements.
There are very different requirements depending on the type of work you'll be doing. For example, if you're doing general office work, you'll probably want a bunch of windows machines sharing an internet connection through a firewall. You might want a single computer to act as a file server. If you're running a law office, you'll need all of the same, plus a file server capable of storing numerous documents, a database to keep track of them, and some way of tracking revisions. If you're running a semiconductor company (God help you) you'll need several high end engineering workstations, LSF, a very robust raid array with about 1TB of storage, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Most networks fall somewhere in between these needs.
It could also mean that firefox's apparent speed is based more on network throughput than code execution. I'd like to see some more robust benchmarks than "it seems just as fast".
We can start by how long it takes to crunch a lot of floating point operations and integer math operations.
Unfortunately, they seem to pay their mission statement as much heed as most large companies.
There's a lot of truth in that statement. We're working on it though, and trying not to be discouraged by those who call themselves Christian, and seem to act otherwise. None of us are perfect.
I'm sending the Chinese government all the Chinese language spam I've been getting. I don't read Chinese, and I'll leave it to them to find the people who sent it to me.
I'm also sending a note to Vladimir about all of the Russian spam I've been getting. I do read Russian, and it's pissing me off.
Please pay a visit to Sweetwater, Texas. There's a sudden drop to 55 for about a quarter mile of freeway with one on/off ramp. It exists solely to fund the city government of Sweetwater.
I think it's illegal for most "civilians" to own AKs in the UK so the first shouldn't be a problem.
you're making the assumption that the guys chasing you in the truck are following the firearms laws, and haven't just had a batch smuggled in from Eastern Europe. It would probably be easier to buy a full-auto AK-47 in England right now on the black market than it would be to do the paperwork for one in Texas. And machine guns are legal in Texas. (but heavily regulated.)
I don't think I'd miss it that much. I haven't bought an HDTV yet, and I'm not planning to in the next couple of years. I've already let go of cable, and have probably run my TV for about an hour this week.
They just don't get it. The winners are the consumer who gets to pay lower prices for the products and services.
The problem with that argument is this: by putting more of the consumers on the unemployment line, you'll have fewer people to purchase the cheap goods produced by their overseas replacements. What could ultimately happen (according to some) is the "race to the bottom" where the whole system collapses due to a lack of demand by consumers. The ultimate winner may well be Wal-Mart, because by the time were all reduced to working there, it'll be the only place we can still afford to shop.
They're supposed to be notified. When I filed for unemployment benefits in '03, they already had my last job on file. Your company is the one who pays in to the insurance fund which you draw from. The state is supposed to verify claims with the company, but most are outsourcing this task to outside firms which usually just act as rubber stamp agencies.
I think it would be easy to implement a system where terminations were reported directly to the state unemployment people, but this hasn't been done. They're counting on the companies to deny invalid claims. These are exactly the flaws these bastards use to game the system.

Crawford has already been invaded by some dumbass from New England. Why inflict more harm to the natives.
There's no obfuscated Perl contest because it's pointless.
There is an obfuscated perl contest. It is pointless, but they have one anyway.

After all, we all know that Queens' University is in Austin, and Leslie is its president.

The mission statement for the Church is in the Bible:
1. Love the Lord your God unconditionally
2. Love your neighbor as yourself
It seems like everything else the Church is supposed to do springs from those two commands.

Nah, but Spielberg did arrange for some big marketing stunt somewhere in the Pacific.
if all the aliens come out looking like Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson and Rosie O'Donnel. We're fucked.
I think I've already seen that movie. Oh, wait, that was real...
I don't think I'd miss it that much. I haven't bought an HDTV yet, and I'm not planning to in the next couple of years. I've already let go of cable, and have probably run my TV for about an hour this week.
I can live without it.
And Darth Cheney was his master. Now that Kerry's out, they'll have to find another Democrat apprentice.
It looks like he was running his web server on that motehrboard. It's toast!
I thought Romero's movie *was* the parody. I can never keep the order straight though.
So this is almost as oppressive as, say, Utah?
The sky is still blue, and it's still hot in Texas.
Actually, this was the planetary allignment they were going to use for the kickoff. They are, of course, late again.
Just be careful, or you'll get sucked into an alternate universe with androids, fascists, and bad 80s haircuts.
