I find that statement absolutely hysterical. People expected the iPad to launch with a just-below-$1000 price tag. It came out at half that yet people are still saying "too expensive"?......... Expensive, yes, but most certainly not over-priced.
Do you see your contradiction here? 500 is expensive for a crippled net-book (yes you have a tablet) comparing it to a 1000 tablet is not going to fool anyone.
What 'people' would these be; I would be fairly sure that sales would be likley to below half or a quarter what they are now it it was just below 1000.
Sorry i'm wrong there, that is misleading. Still i think the trend for most of the rest of Europe is better taken from these two. Russia and Estonia are still getting over communist regimes(true for a lot of the EU but not more than a third). Italy's president owns a portion of the net.
This list is very selective while Important countries (to the US) are included, the rest have be chosen to fit US foreign policy and possibly other fillers with less freedom (referring to what other people have said about South America) than surrounding countries. The freedom house appears to very neo-conservative.
Brazil. Venezuela not so much. But again, no surprises there.
According to the report Brazil, the only listed South American country, has 'Free' internet. I think there judging criteria is to suit US political interests(hoping I'm safe from neo-conservatives with mod points) so maybe they were generous. I have little knowledge about it but South America seems to have a high standards with Chile being the first (and only) country to legislate for net nutrality.
Starcraft selling point has never been because its a fun game. Every other successful RTS I can think of has been more fun than starcraft. TA, RA, CaC, RoN, SC, CoH and so on.
It can become fun when you enjoy the competition against other players.
There is no 83rd country. The list is not even close to a worldwide rankings on internet freedom. There are only 2 from Europe and the reason Germany is not higher is due to Nazi (mainly I think Holocaust Denial ) censorship.
Of which only 8 have 'free' internet. There is a lot of European and other countries that may have a more free web. Thus the rankings are pretty worthless. My extrapolating the results it would be likely that across Europe would most likely be 10 above the rest of listed non -European countries.
I would like to think New Zealand's web is more open than Australia's we do have a filter but it has not been forced on ISPs.
That was different human ears are not able to perceive the difference (where as most can see that HD is better). It was a gimmick to trick people out of money or to allow them to feel special wile other thought less of them.
As long as the sampling rate is grater than 2*20kHz no one can tell the difference. And to hear the difference above 16 bits you need to spend thousands to get all equipment above 110dB SNR and then no one cannot tell the difference either.
You are right i did have no idea who this guy was. But after reading wiki page I still think my comment was appropriate. His political ideology is that of a right wing nut to anyone outside of the US.
This guy may be smart and right but the without the correct context the post comes across as a lot of opinions that have already been expressed on stuff commonly known to/. He has generalised and assumed things to make my quoted comment with nothing close to a justification that I can accept. Supplied links to rest of his opinions would have been good.
Not spending large amounts of money building reactors will save the US money it does not have short-term and long term they may be able to copy Chinese successes. You cant guarantee that this is incorrect and if does happen it would benefits the US.
Note that China is not going to halt nuclear power construction. The major effect of Fukushima Daiichi may well be a very great Chinese comparative advantage. Cheap easily available energy and freedom are the keys to economic prosperity: the Chinese are moving toward both. The United States is moving away from both. The results are predictable.
Are they? and what accuracy do you give these predictions? I can make predictions of arbitrary accuracy by inappropriately simplifying and generalising of almost anything.
This is a PR piece for fox viewers, its an insult to the intelligence of readers here.
I think that one aspect of violent games is that you lean to realise that the violence is fake (did not actually happen), even though is right in front of you. This can then be extended to all acting real actors. Of course less social interaction stunts growth as well. As for types of more types violence being acceptable to them this influence comes from all media they watch from the tv and internet as well.
If you show a bunch of (potentially very badly) acted out videos to them then ask them how they feel then i could defiantly see some differences.
The 'no consequence because you can try again' idea, i think is bullshit unless you are talking about some really thick kids. Generally i would think less real experience would make them more scared to try things.
Did you say the same things about Firefox 4 (and possibly some of you 3) Why are you still all here is Firefox 4 was so bad? Is it possible it ended up not so bad.
I would think when Mozilla say they are going add these features this is list of things they would like the browser to be able to do not the new emphasis of the browser. They may back down and leave some of the status bar at the bottom (making it better for my 600 vertical pixels) is the idea does not really work.
And if Firefox is having memory leaks is probably your fault go though and remove all your weird extensions and check to see if you have any plug-ins you don’t need (about:plugins) a lot of you sound like you might have installed the h264 plugin from Microsoft because you just want it to play there are numerous reports that it has memory leaks.
I'm sure the idea is not new its more a proof of concept (for me) that it could work.
You have it wrong, i am saying that it could be possible in the next couple of decades to use a cap to read brain waves not a camera. The camera requires a lot of space. If this was to work you could type full speed (with a lot of practice) on the subway, (hopefully not driving) a car....
While I see zero feedback as issue for these kinds of devices I don't see the 'the strangers' relevance to IO input.
My thinking is if you could for the easy case input hex by selectively contacting four fingers of one hand and turn the motor function of the hand of with a switch. You could also expand this to ternary input by using contacting and extending allowing full ASCII.
I do see a lot of risk to confusing the brain about normal mussel use if not done properly.
It can't be too much longer before you can get the cost down to the point high end users can afford it.
If they can make the learning fast enough and distinguish between different letters then sometime in the next 20 years you will be buying a cap with your tablet or other mobile device.
If they were to add a.nexls (non executables or something similar) file type that companies needing a bit of security could use that only had stuff a normal spread sheet has values, borders, charts, formulas... (and something similar for word). Of course it would be hard to add new features to these versions and therefore sell updates and completing products would be able implement the standard pretty quickly.
I would say that once his emails are being read he's screwed. Either he has AES encrypted files which take a lot of expensive equipment to decrypt (and fail to do so in a reasonable time) resulting in lots of surveillance to catch most of the people involved or he forces some poor graduate to use excel and give away the rest of the 'cell'. I don’t think once your emails are being intercepted you have much hope of carrying out a terrorist attack anyway.
Though i have no actual numbers, netbook sales have slumped possibly as well due to that the first ones are still are in use. The main manufacturer ASUS (as well as MSI) generally produce products with reasonable reliability and the first atoms are not significantly slower than the current atoms and apart from webgl the first atoms are fast enough for the web.
Not that i have much enterprise knowledge im curious as to why you chose Ubuntu (LTS?) for a server was as good as any other distro and you want to run Ubuntu VM off it or was the server actually considered better than other alternatives.
I would have thought that Cent or SUSE would make better severs. I guess the Ubuntu server disk does come ready made.
I would think that CentOS users would chose is primarily because its free and stable rather than its RH and has the added advantage of being free. I would imagine that if CentOS was killed off that instead of using RH they might switch to (guessing) openSUSE with stable options, sending them to Novel. For minimal investment CentOS is free trail for RH, not being a monopoly this is an added advantage against competitors.

PS It's 37 countries not 34.
There is no 83rd country. The list is not even close to a worldwide rankings on internet freedom. There are only 2 from Europe and the reason Germany is not higher is due to Nazi (mainly I think Holocaust Denial ) censorship.
South America also looks pretty free.

But without the volts there would be no amps.
According to the article its the power as in P=VI that matters anyway.

Unity isn't stable, it hasn't reached the "production level" yet.
Anyone know what's the reason behind Ubuntu rushing Unity out, before it's ready?
Because if Gnome 3 turns out to be popular it would be DOA.
How does this apply to streaming though?
If i host the DVD and allow people to access it one at a time is that still legal?

Can you imagine the holy wars at least 3 different packing systems 4 different kenels and everything from stable to sid all in one distro.
