They have to wait a bit before anouncing the price drop of the 80GB player or it would just piss you off that you just spent the same money for the 60GB model. If you want a 60GB model, buy it, if you don't, dont. If you really want an 80GB model, and that extra $100 pisses you off that much, then wait for November. Myself I will be going down the Compucenter and upgrading my 60GB model to the 160GB model for $80 (its the little panel on the side that says "HDD").
Hey guys, let's say you have a 500 foot pole out in space, far away from anything (no friction, nothing). you are on one end of the pole, and i on the other. Then i push the pole towards you. When does the other end of the pole move towards you, after MY END MOVES? is it instantaneous? or does it take.000000005 seconds of whatever. Like the atoms of the pole push each other on and on and so forth till it gets to the end. if it does take time, is it faster than light, or slower? what if the pole was 300,000,000 meters long? does it take about 1 second for u to notice the other end moves?
Is than in Standard or Pacific time?
Anyhow, assuming I get what your asking, it would generally be at the rate of the sonic velocity of the material your pole is made out of. One rudementary way to find this is to smack it with something and find its resonate frequency. Something tells me you have experience in this smacking of your poll already.
To accept the idea that the universe is really old, and the earth is really old (when compaired to you and me) and we were not always here, nore were we always the most intrusive species on the plannet, and that there are a whole lot of planets, and that when your dead your worm bait, you might have to accept your own insignificance.
Lucky one of the students did not kill an attacker. Its always dangerous to horse around like that because someone might take your serious... and kill you.
Some people are confused by information, and actually feel intimidated by having more. The end result is people feel more competent with something they know less about. Devices should be less informative, so that everyone can feel confortable using them.
"It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're actually stealing the programming" -Jamie Kellner, CEO of Turner Broadcasting
My aim in my previous post, was not "these kinds of people won't like this kind of music." That would be stereotypical of me, and I don't believe it to be true. My aim was to show that given no information, someone who was trying to guess another person's music tastes using only their race and gender would likely avoid linking, for example, a hispanic male with Polish folk.
Amen, I would also like to point out it does not mention what percentage are gay. Based on photographic evidence, the clear majority of women on the net are gay, or at least bisexual. It is ridiculous to mash up gay women in the same demographic as say Polish women. It would almost be non-sensical.
1. It just isn't possible to make software ultra-secure and free of vulnerabilities. I.e. you cannot expect *any* piece to be 100% secure, ever. 2. It is possible, but the costs of making software ultra-secure is so high that it's not worth it. Customers would rather pay a lower price for a slightly less secure system than a much larger price for a 100% secure system.
There are products that are fully secure and free of bugs. However they are out of date and due for an upgrade.
More times than not the development of the slides devolves down into avoiding certain areas where the authors understanding of the subject matter is weak and reiterating bullet points where understanding is strong. Its sort of used as a shiny thing "Hey, look over here!". Its used as a tool to beat the audience over the head so as not to have much of a discussion with them. However I have seen decent presentations where it was used to emphasize discusion points with real data, sighting real sources, and not used as a discusion script. In the end, slides are usually used to obvuscate information, rather than provide any.
From the article: "When quizzed on Microsoft's plans, Mr. Ballmer replied, "Our view is that virtualization is something that should be built into the operating system.""
What really belongs in the OS is a self-defense mechanism against malware and viruses, but for whatever reason Microsoft has chosen to let bottom feeders like Symantec live.
Anti-virus should be an included part of the OS along with updates. It's addressing flaws in the product.
Fixing their own lunch does not seem to interest them as much as stealing someone elses.
Its a tough call, but it seems like the price was agreed to when the customer pressed the submit button. The page said how much would be charged, the customer agreed and pressed the button. Almost seems like a contract to me. It would have been much better for Amazon to send out mail appologizing for under charging the customer ("We hope this does not cause you any inconvience"), and end with "We hope you enjoy our product". In short, they should have sucked it up, and spin some humor on it.
Of course you can be sued for any reason at any time. But I am curious as to the curcumstances under which he was escorted out of the building. Was he fired? If so it would seem plausable that he could sue for wrongfull termination. And at least in his case, he would stand a chance of winning, or so I would think.
Hello Tim Dean, FTA - However, all this talk about hardware and software acceleration raises another big question: is hardware acceleration such a good thing after all? No it doesn't. It brings many questions to mind, but certainly not that one. Maybe you should go back to wondering if you left your iron on and leave the thinking to Microsoft. Oh, never mind. As you were.

I think you mean the lawyers favor.

The younger kids spend more time in our "happy places" due to the elder brothers being such dicks.
there's hope that performance tweaking could yield a practical elimination of barriers
Hows that memory copy from userspace comming, has it healed up yet?
I live in a culture where occasional failure is seen as an opportunity to grow and become better

Some people prefer not to do that.
So what was Adam exactly doing with that sheep?
..."inevitable" it will fail and could harm biodiversity...
..excellent method to protect against transference of novel traits...
and
Sounds close to the same arguement.

"The limited pickup of Vista installs [means that] until Vista is more popular, it will enjoy the same limited attention from hackers as OS X"
He should know by now that its not the install base of OS X, its that the hacker bullies only pick on those that cry.
I am of the opinion thats kind of what "certified" means.

No I'm not trying to come off as a troll or start a flame war, just trying to understand why everyone cares about this.
The same reason people watch American Idol. Everyone loves a good car crash.

Unless someones watching.

Really other than that it was a decent read.
