I can pretty much guess where the problem is. The solution: deal with it, or say no to garbage collection.
See, virtual memory and garbage collection don't mix. The larger the reachable set, the larger the area of memory the garbage have to scan, which translates to frequent paging in and out. Once the size of memory to search exceeds (available physical memory)*gamma, there every page will be swapped every time the garbage collector runs.
If the garbage collector runs on a timer , and the timer is faulty after sleep/standy, it could call itself more often than it needs.
These documents are proof that Iraq and Saddam was tied to 9/11. Capturing Saddam is a wonderful victory on its own merits, but since you need proof connecting him with 9/11, here it is.
Good. so if Iraq is responsible, why attack Afghanistan?
Neon Genesis was completed in the anime and 2 movies. There isn't anything to add to it.
By your argument, then there is no point doing X-MEN. The EVA movie will probably be a reinterpretation, looking at things a new angle.
The series contains all the monster fights and it contains the ending
Uh? what ending? Ive seen both endings and they both sucked. I am waiting for Sadamoto's ending (the manga).
The series isn't about the action, it's about the emotions of shinji.
The successful show combines as many elements as possible to capture all possible demographics. They got me on the robot action and sci-fi stuff. They got u on psychological aspect. They'll probably drop in one or two nude shots to get the perverts on board.
Hmm.... to replicate the success of Titanic, maybe they can use Celine Dion's "A New Day has come" as the opening theme... just to be sure.:)
I can't see this movie doing anything but hurting the rest of the plot of the series.
X-MEN movie and SPIDERMAN movie has elements from the series but they are both on independent storyline and continuity. No Biggie. For all you know, they'll rename "Shinji Ikari" to "Saint John Anchorman" (see anno's website).

If you say, no, they'll slam you. If you say yes, they'll sign you up without the calling plan. When ATT called me, they said that they can offer 0.36/minute for calls to Malaysia and 1.5 months later I opened my phone bill to find out that they are charging me 3.00/minute! I called them up and they say they have *no recollection* of me signing up for the calling plan so they refuse to adjust the rates. When the telco switch you, there must be a third party verifier to record that you are making the switch to the new company but nothing is recorded by the calling plan. That is one way to beat the system. I am appalled a company as big as ATT does scam like this!
Oh my gosh, this song has been playing on my radio for weeks and I just realized that Nina Gordon is part of artist direct network! It is a really good song. In cast the rest of you have not heard about it I encourage everybody to check out the mjuice downloable music at Nina Gordon's website
what makes he thinks that with 'white hats' out of the picture, there are going to be less script kiddies? The system hacking activity will just shift underground and proper authorities will have tougher time figuring out how they did it and customers will be lulled my marketers into false sense of security. I guess it is easier to blame on something you can see rather than what you can't.
I work at Ford's Enviromental Vehicle project and i can't legally speak for them. Without trying to give out anything proprietary, in general, energy density is the real killer. 1 kg of gasoline efficiently tapped can give you 42-44 Megajoules. NiCad, Lead-Acid and Sodium-Sulfur of the same weight barely have a fraction of this energy. To replace 16 gallon (approx 42.39kg) of gasoline you need 14838.768 kg of lead acid battery. This is ten times the average weight of a car (around 1500kg). Since the car is 11 times heavier it should require 11 times more fuel. You do the math. It may more costly to your pocket and the enviroment (more energy use and heat dissipation).
Ultracaps? That's great. I know one company that sells ultracaps with 10,850.69 Joules/kg. Packs a punch for your house intruder but can't you anywhere (literally).
Ah.... somebody mentioned fuel cells. You can check out one of the suppliers ballard This is promising but the energy conversion unit is still heavy. Hydrogen actually packs more energy than gasoline: 38khw/kg (that's about 136.8 mejajoules/kg). Unfortunately, it hoards a lot of space. We could use methanol and carry methanol->hydrogen reformer that would take up more weight. After reliasing that the conversion unit takes more weight you begin to wonder, why don't you burn the hydrogen in the first place, instead of investing in the fuel cell stack, electric drivetrain and stuff? We are bothering with eletric motor? Why can't we just improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine?
Relative to electric motor, internal combustion engine (ICE) is highly inefficient. While good motor with a good controller can give you close to 95% efficiency, an ICE is at 17% in a good day. Worse it's peak efficiency is at certain torque and at certain speed. That is why we have gearbox system and clutch. When the car stops, you have supply it with some fuel to keep spinning (idling) which is 100% loss (0% efficient). With electric motor you can adjust your torque and speed electrically and reclaim energy in braking.
I think I better stop here. in the meantime you are welcome to buy Ford electric bicycles and other stuff http://www.thinkmobility.com
I wish they'd bothered to realize that online gambling will never pose any real threat to their existance.
Online gambling *is* a threat to their existence. Bear in mind Nevada has very little natural resources. It is freaking dessert! To spur the economy Nevada, the goverment made gambling legal. At that time, gambling is illegal in almost everywhere in America. By having an exclusive rights to gambling (relative to other American states), Nevada makes huge profits. If other states are allowed to gamble as much as Nevada, I am willing to bet (pun intended) that Las Vegas will not be as popular as it is today.
Another example, a few years back, Windsor's casinos are causing Detroit residents to step into Canada to gamble away their money. The Detroit mayor at that time wanted to allow detroit-based casino so Detroit residents can gamble it away in their own city.
Of course, once the power need it too high for the microwave dish, then you can use fusion power, which is much cleaner than nuclear power which polutes the surrounding air. And fusion plants have no disasters associated with them.
sorry too nitpick but I think you meant nuclear fusion (hydrogen --> helium) is cleaner than nuclear fission (uranium --> krypton + boron)
The nice think about uranium is that you just need to fire a neutron to start a chain reaction. With hydrogen, you have to heat it up plasma state and high pressure before any nuclear reaction happens. I think plasma state requires temperature of around, off-hand, 15,000,000 K, give or take a number of magnitude. That's about the temperature of the sun, which is nature's efficient hydrogen fusion reactor.
Now you know where the myth of cold fusion is coming from, eh?

This is about name/word association. There are good and bad hackers, just like there are good and bad muslims, good and bad jews, and good and bad christians. Remember when muslims are associated with terrorists? christians as abortionist murderers? jews as money-grubbers? And you wonder why hackers are ticked when they are associated as computer systems breakers??!!!!
Like it or not, the media plays a role in name associations, good or bad. Every group of people named in a dictionary has to stand up and preserve the integrity of their name. Hackers are talented computer users. They can use their ability in a positive way or a negative way. I am appalled when the media tarnish a name of a group (by always focusing on the negative aspects of hacking) and refuse to hold themselves responsible for it. We have to put our foot down!
Well, let's see what the punishment for Microsoft will be...
Backing out of the settlement may look bad on microsoft. but let's step back for a second.
Scenario 1: the punishment seriously affects microsoft's profits
Microsoft has demonstrated that many people are dependent on microsoft doing well. If microsoft goes down, the will take down NASDAQ, DOW, DJIA, etc all the way to London with them. Microsoft is an essential part of the US economy, if not the world. they are telling DOJ/USGOV that if we go down, we'll take everybody down with us; so go easy on US and we'll go easy on ALL OF YOU.
Scenario 2: Microsoft able to appeal / fine and damages not too severe.
With steady revenue and cash at hand, they are able to buy back microsoft shares at ridicolously low low prices.
From my observation, open-source works best for software in maintainence mode; other programmers introduce feature changes and/or bug fixes while maintainer decides what to incorporate and what to reject. For initial development it is usually inappropriate, you may have deadlines to met but others don't, and they don't get paid for it. case in point, linux, perl, emacs.
The timer system may be a good candidate especially if it is a utility library, i.e. it is something you base your work on but it is not the final product your company makes money on. LGPL/BSD will be appropriate here.
If you want to get started, look in Delphi for Linux and see if the code is portable to the Windows environment. The reason is, open-source software usually needs a foothold in an open-source platform; open-source community within a closed-source platform users are smaller. Hence, developing open-source software mainly for a closed-source platform is a real challenge. Case in point, netscape. Focus on main development on open-source platform, and adapt the changes to the closed-source port (which you may have to pay for).
...and $250,000 of attorney fees? (that's 5/6 of the money for litigation costs) Really, if I had to lay off half of my employee because of this, I would have ask for more compensation. They have SJ Games lose three years worth of opportunity.
