Most public schools I went to long overgrew their original buildings and had a significant amount of bungalows, which tended to lack windows and sufficient air conditioning (and this was at a California Distinguished School).
Hasn't Microsoft used BSD-variant code in several of their programs (or at least in the past)? I imagine high quality free code with few restrictions is beneficial for them, even if they simply assimilate it. I haven't RTFA but I imagine this isn't about that, or linux desktops, it is trying to establish more integration with linux server environments.
They definitely researched psychological reward systems when designing the game. First, you are highly encouraged to run through the campaign missions twice if you are running on normal difficulty, as each mission will typically only have a reward when unlocked on hard. Second, the multiplayer is highly designed around reward systems, from the initial low quantity of portraits, 50 game practice league matches before level-matchmaking starts (can be skipped, but you are highly encouraged not to), and the reward/achievement/portrait unlock system.
I'm not knocking Blizzard for doing this, as the game is highly entertaining (at least for me), but I don't see an anytime in the future of me winning 1000 matches as protoss to unlock a bad-ass portrait, as I only game an hour or two each day. With all 3 campaigns a completionist is probably looking at several hundred hours.
You probably don't need a 5770, you can get a 4770 for about $30-60 cheaper and it will likely be more than enough. I can play any game out there right now on high settings at 1680x1050. If you run a higher resolution you do probably want the 5770. In
I'm totally fine with that if you have the same punishments for talking on the phone, texting, eating or drinking fluids while driving, adjusting the radio while the car is in motion, driving while under the influence of a good number of pharmaceuticals (including OTC medications like benadyl), driving while tired, driving while disciplining children, using a GPS device while the vehicle is in motion, talking to passengers, or everything else that impairs driving to a similar level as a 0.8 BAC DUI. Everything I mentioned above is a choice, just like drinking.
Otherwise IMO for a first time non-extreme DUI with no complications 100 hours of community service is a far more positive punishment. However, the stats don't lie, and expect this to be everywhere and eventually mandatory (in a less hostile fashion) for everyone.
Like democracy, slashdot's moderation is the best shit of all the shits but it is still shit. Much better than reddit or digg. Slashdot does have its groupthink, but I see positively modded opposing views far more often on slashdot than reddit or digg.
And I don't see how this is a big deal, I left digg 2 years ago because it was a portal for daily kos and Huffington Post I'm not even a neo-con. This seems like the pot calling the kettle black.
Actually most generalizations are true, it is the outliers which makes things interesting. Stereotypes exist for a reason, because we are programmed to form inclusive small groups and shortcuts. We don't have time to critically analyze every single decision there is to be made and every scenario that occurs during the day, so we learn to take shortcuts and generalize and stereotype, even if we are not aware we are doing it. I get perplexed when I see people that say "I don't generalize" or "I don't stereotype", because they do, they are just not aware of it.
I hate to jump on the anti-3D bandwagon (I actually really enjoyed Avatar despite the plot) but why in the past 2 years is there a sudden jump towards 3D (Nintendo, Nvidia/ATI, Sony, TV companies, etc)?
China can't get into any sort of extremely unprovoked unpopular war (such as one with the US) because it would be devastating to their economy. Most of the Americas and Europe would embargo them. It seems to me globalization is a good deterrent to a world war, in economic uncertainty most countries can't afford to give up 20% of anything. The only way it makes sense to me is if they were seriously provoked or they lost something of such great value that the economic ramifications would be worth it.
Except the iphone 4 drops less calls than the 3GS.

I have no reception issues with my iphone, and I am not an apple apologist. Yes they should test better, yes they should have added non-conductive coating, yes itunes felches, but in actual use it works better than the 3GS as from the article: "There's no doubt in my mind this iPhone gets the best cellular reception yet, even though measured signal is lower than the 3GS."
Every phone model has some problems, if you doubt this head over to the nexus one forums. I don't have any problems with my iphone 4, other than the low volume of the phone in general and that it feels way too fragile and I hope I don't accidentally break it. Heck HTC didn't even ship decent video drivers for the AT&T Tilt (it actually ran slower than previous models), the HD2 has audio/video sync issues, the nexus one/HD2 has a pink camera issue, and I'm sure the Incredible and Droid have their own problems.
Now is probably the easiest time for computer gaming in history. Even the shitty $300 Best Buy boxes will be dual core and have 2-3gb of ram. A $130* graphics card will allow you to play any game out there on medium settings at a normal resolution. *online, non-ripoff price
No way 10B is the peak. We could easily fit 4B just in the United States. Not comfortably, but completely doable. If you doubt this, just drive E->W across the US. Now imagine the entire of that, minus the farmland and mountains, as Phoenix sprawl with New York City towers. While our farming techniques right now won't support that, Humans are quite awesome at technology when we put our minds to it, and we can always feed everyone synthetic protein bars.
With a 4"+ screen it bridges the gap enough between too small and not portable. While e-ink may mean less strain on the eyes, I mostly read at night so I would need some sort of light anyways.
I got all 5 knockoff cartridges from amazon for the same price as a single retail cartridge. So far I am happy and if it screws up my printer I'll just get a laser, I'm done spending $70+ on a full set of cartridges that dry out in 3 months from very light use.
Adblock for Chrome downloads the ads, then blocks them. I don't know how you could not notice this, the Chrome ad-block solution is half-assed at best.

Yes, sometimes (bondsman, repo), maybe.

No, Windows 7 Mobile tablets, which run on ARM. For once MS designed an OS for touch/mobile/tablets (I have no idea if it actually accomplishes that).

Except walmart is as cheap as k-mart and somehow manages to make k-mart look like the bottom of a urinal trough at a bar in Nogales.
Maybe he doesn't want to work for anyone and wants to make bank in his spare time writing ifart applications.

Do you not have this problem? Check the test videos. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658136

If you don't have an SD card it treats the internal memory as external storage.
China probably wants this. They want protections for their IP, and they know they will just ignore the IP of everyone else.
Well you can, but it soon becomes corrected, one way or another.
