Another vote for Crossfit. I started to workout and keep in shape a couple years after getting out of college. It was getting pretty obvious that I was doing way too much sitting and fast food eating.
Although I used to just do traditional weight type workouts (3 sets of 10 type stuff), I was getting really tired of it. Found Crossfit and have been doing it for over a year now. It is hard, but it will get/keep you in great shape. It also can be done at home if you buy a few pieces of equipment and sub exercises when you have to.
Even if you did have a copy, you would not be able to have a single process use over 4 GB of memory. If you are running a simulation that needs a lot of memory then not being able to address over 4GB without swapping becomes very relevant. It does not matter if the machine has 64 GB of RAM if you process can not use it.
Better get your PhD if you want to make some money with a math or science degree. If you are just getting a BS, chances are you will make squat unless you change fields.
If you do get a PhD, then apply for a job at a hedge fund company. You can make very respectable money at a company like that, although they generally have their pick of the litter.
It looks like I will be running the marathon on my couch and quit possibly in my bed also, probably won't be doing too much running either, but hey...at least I am participating in the Boston Marathon (even though I not in the correct city or state or registered or even running).
So glad someone pointed this out! The support I received from Alienware AFTER purchasing a $4,000 laptop was quite simply the WORST customer service I have ever gotten from ANY company (this includs very cheap take out joints yo quiero). They did not want to honor their 30 day return policy and tried to push the issue back until the time had expired. Had to get credit company involved to nullify the transaction.
Alienwares customer service really has no where to go but up.
Tivo is in big trouble anyway since all the major cable companies are coming out with their own DVR's with a pretty small monthly fee. This alone is probably enough to get rid of them in 5 years or so.
Then they go removing features and pretty much pissing off their loyal customer base, the only people they have to keep them going financially. I imagine cable companies will have the same issues with auto deleting pay per view, and no out of market sporting events, but if they never give you that in the first place it won't be so bad. In addition their hardware is going to work on their systems a lot better than adding on a Tivo to your existing cable system.
Bye bye Tivo.

You are waaayyyyy too right. This thing is priced at least double what it should be priced. More realistically it should be at the $700 range like you said since the memory is low, the wireless is slow, and the processor is not all that.
It sounds like they had incompetent support personel and then chose to blame the OS. Once they had someone who knew what they were doing set up everything, suddenly things were rosey. Perhaps they should have set things up right in the first place...but most places tend not to.
Considering how many questions have been raised as to whether Moore's movie presents truth or propaganda
Is there any question that this is propaganda? Moore himself is admitting it if he wants it to be aired before the election because he wants to further his cause.
What scares me (and I would hope a lot of you) is when it is shown in countries that were controlled by communists and they compare it to the propaganda they had to endure for so many years. These are countries where the people for the most part to do not agree with Bush's politics, but are still very uncomfortable because it is like the communist/socialist propaganda they had to endure for many decades.
Ok, so you blather on about nothing here. My entire point is that the original poster makes the assertion that you could be arrested for breaking a law that is being kept secret. This is not the case, you will not be arrested because you will not be allowed to make any infractions, regardless of the existance of a law or regulation or whatever.
Regardless of all your questions, you still know what you are asked to do when you board a plane. The original poster acted like it would be a big suprise and you would be arrested. You know what you have to do and you can either do it and get on the plane, or not and don't fly, but you are not going to accidentally board and get arrested.
Sorry, when I said faster I meant you can transmit data faster. So a given chunk of data would arrive quicker via laser than radio wave.
I think we should start looking for lasers over radio waves simply because you can send more data that way and it is more effcients. Same reason many space agencies are looking to change satellites over to lasers rather than radio then can transmit their data back to Earth much more quickly.
shouldn't we be looking for lasers over radio waves anyway? i mean they are a hell of a lot faster and could actually make it to earth from a far off place a bit more quickly.
My "snide little remark" was not meant to be snide. It is exactly how I view universities and having graduated from a rather large one and working at another, I think I have at least a decent perspective.
I don't know how much your substitution applies to the Senate. It sounds more like a lot of the California kids who went to the U of Arizona driving their BWM's and having their ways paid. So even with you substitution it still very much applies to universities. Now had to said s/outside a university/without be told how they should think by lobbyists/...
I actually was referring to universities as a whole, including the students. Just wanted to make that clear since it seems like you may have thought I was referring to just professors.
When I said universities get goverment funding I didn't mean they get too much or too little. I was just making the point that they rely in the government heavily which tends to be a liberal value. I am all for government funding of schools, if it wern't for some grants I got, I would have had to work 60 hours a week instead of 40 while going to school full-time.

"there are no real connections between the amount of memory and 64-bit."
So you are saying a single process can use more than 4 GB of memory in Win2K Server?

You're telling me MS is just getting to release an OS with the date 2003 in it? Last I checked, it was getting pretty close to 2005!

Still sounds like you are blathering to me, and on top of it you are doing it in the wrong thread.

Very simple.

You know what you have to do and you can either do it and get on the plane, or not and don't fly, but you are not going to accidentally board and get arrested.
True, but the point of this POST is that you could accidentally break this "law" and then be arrested which is simply not the case.
The law is not secret at all, you need to show ID before boarding a flight. What is so secret about this?
Why they require it is another thing, but they tell you when you try to board what the law is.

here is a decent story i found while researching the idea of doing it. looks like it is already a group in seti doing it.

BTW, good points.
Nope, public schools all the way through university.
well there are at least three libertarians on /.
