I can't imagine Opera actually doing this, they barely scrap by as it is. People have to go out of their way to download and then pay for Opera and they don't really get any extra features that can't be had from any of the browsers that people can get for free. I hope Apple tells them to fuck off.
Except you can't search in a jpg and you can't use computer software to automatically cross reference and build clickable table of contents and all of that other stuff that have the text of the story actually save as text allows you to do.
This distributed proofreading group looks like they might have the answer for helping PG get closer to being 'there'. Having people proofread one page at a time comparing the ocr'd text to the original scan is an excellent idea for speeding up the proofreading process as well as improving the quality.
The majority of time that any graphics card is used, it will display nothing but 2D, and its advanced features probably won't even be used
This point is exactly why none of your other points make sense. The cards don't get hot doing 2d processing, they only get hot while gaming. And if you are swapping out customers $400 cards for cheap $100 ati ones to reduce bluescreens, you are being extremely unethical since heat isn't an issue if they aren't playing a lot of 3d games, and if they are the cheap cards you put in wont get the job done.
Most divx movies aren't good quality. As cool as it would be to have a divx player, I prefer vcd since it generally looks better. Overall picture quality with a vcd might be comparible to vhs instead of dvd, but divx movies tend to have horrible artifacting which makes them annoying to watch. The nature of divx compression makes it so that artifacting is a way of life, and that is just unacceptible for me.
Maybe since their patent on Trinitron screens expired, they're not able to command ridiculous margins any more."
I doubt thats the case, arent the newer sony crts built using a better technology than trinitron anyway? Besides anyone selling a trinitron monitor pays to use the name because of the quality recognition associated with it.
I see this more as a move for Sony to set the new standard in monitors and its definately welcome in a time when the average cost of lcds is rising slightly resulting in some companies (ie Apple) to raise prices and stop selling some sizes of lcds.
So if you figure about 75% of the people in the US own computers and something like 5% of all computers are macs, and you subtract the ones owned by schools, there should be about 50 people that will vote for him.
Did you read the article before coming up with this little gem?
The nature vs nurture debate never came up in the article, the differences referred to have to do with the cats both being calicos, but the clone being colored dramatically differently from the original.
The nature vs nurture debate was won long ago, and its constantly being won in the minds of intelligent people all the time when they realize that neither nature nor nurture is predominately responsible for "who we are" but that a combination of both is required.
One thing that most of the general public (and appatently people in the field??) don't realize that there occurs genetic drift when cloning organisms. This has been known by botanist when cloning plants. One thing that you "don't do" is clone clones.
Could you provide some source for this insite, I hardly find that credible.
If you had read the article, it would be obvious that they are different other than age and size. The article points out that their coloring among other traits is very different.
I'll be able about cross-platform GUI toolkits when they make one that looks as good in windows as mfc does. Its easy enough to make a toolkit thats easier to use and understand than mfc, but its awful hard to make one that produces an end result that looks and feels like a native windows app. Linux users are used to apps that don't behave in predictable manners, or don't look the same (mozilla is awful popular among linux users for instance), but windows users are less accepting of programs that look and behave 'wrong'.
As great as a distro as mandrake is for new users, it has limited commercial viability as its nearly impossible to upgrade or add software to a mandrake install. People generally leave mandrake once their linux skills have grown somewhat.
Plus its really hard to make any money by marketing linux, better companies than mandrake have found that out. I wish the employees of mandrake best of luck, but I can't forsee mandrake coming up with a viable enough business plan to stay afloat in the commerical sector.
At the heart of the technology is the laying of songs "onto a copy-controlled CD in multiple layers, one that would permit normal playback on a stereo and a PC.""
And this is going to keep us from recording and copying the music steam how?
Say what you like about how great macs are, but its bound to happen that apple loses money considering they cater to a small population of users that aren't consistantly buying new products all the time.
These things look cool, I've never heard of them before though.. maybe they haven't made it to the midwest yet. I can't imagine they are too horribly complex, having played with lego robots and some of the java and basic stamp kits, I'd imagine it'd take a run of the mill cs or engineering student less than a week to get the basics designed for this and maybe a little longer to get it to the level of the commercial product.
The difference comes in many times (spoilers for people who choose to play without outside knowledge of the game).
What do you mean, if anything, the graphical versions tend to show less of the board than the ascii art version, and glhack has an option to switch back to the old view so you can use it much like a map since the graphic tile view only shows a small area.
Hasn't falcon's eye been out for a couple of years now? Are they making any improvements to it, or does it still look like a really lame version of diablo?
While wxWindows is easy to use and multiple platform, its hard to imagine any serious app using wxWindows. It just doesn't create polished looking apps. Every program I've ever used which used wxWindows looked absolutely horrible. The wxWindows widgets just don't look native on any system, and they don't always act natively. Perhaps on win95 and old linux desktops it looks ok, but on modern systems its obvious with wxwindows is used because they look and feel clunky.
SMS is like the instant messanging of the cell phone world. Who cares if >10% of the messages don't get through. I'd bet the aim/icq/msn/etc networks have similar if not worse reliability. If you really want to get ahold of someone, you call them.

no, the programmer can't just follow his own code and win that way.
If you think that, its obvious that you have no concept of how chess playing ai works.

I did the same thing with a dodge aries, except it was a lot cheaper as all i had to do was drive it around during the summer.
