If A is X times cheaper than B, we must first calculate the cheapness of B. If B should be priced at P, but is really priced at Q, where Q<P, we can calculate B's absolute cheapness as P-Q, and relative cheapness as (P-Q)/P. Therefore if A should cost P', then an A that is X times cheaper than B will cost P' discounted by the relative cheapness of B multiplied by X, that is, P'-P'X(P-Q)/P. Quite simple really.
I just don't get it. If Google stripped all the content off the websites of these newspapers and attached their own ads to it, then I would see the problem, but that's not what they're doing. Google News directs you to the newspaper's website.
Not me! I'm perfectly content reading just the snippets Google steals. Who could want more than these complete stories?

Wow, that's my fill of news stories for the day. No need to visit the original sites they are from. No siree.
If a transport product is going to be called PUMA, it should at the very least allow me to stalk prey from tree branches, rocky outcroppings, or tall grass, silently leaping with claws outstretched, to hamstring them and then choke them with my jaws, so I can drag them back to my lair and devour their tender innards at ease.
That's what the thing does to the occupants when it crashes.
I guess my point was that ARM doesn't have to keep up with all the overhead of "running" x86. But I admit ignorance to how a 400 MHz ARM compares to a 400 MHz x86.
This is why I will never accept the quantum mechanics idea that things are fundamentally random. "Random" is just another way of saying "no known pattern".
The big stumbling block might be simple technology. ARM is, by design, a very simple, unsophisticated chip. I have to wonder if it can keep up with all the overhead of running Windows.
Funny, I thought that was why it does so well in portables.
If you liked the software, donate money to his family to help cover funeral costs, or donate money to the charity listed in his obituary, Community Hospice of Albany, as a last tribute to someone whose work you've enjoyed over the years.
Maybe we could run an ad asking for donations? Oh wait, I guess nobody who benefited from his list would see it...
You know this new Slashdot meme will only make sense to people who saw that story before they corrected the href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/technologynews/5105

Maybe if they made a cell phone that was just a, you know, phone, and didn't have any extra crap in it, it wouldn't even be possible to spread any code, malicious or not.
Oh yeah, I remember Amiga... the disk drive constantly clicking every few seconds. It made you always keep a disk inserted just to shut the damn thing up.
In this case, you need to use the patent system against itself just as the GPL uses the copyright system against itself.
That's funny, I thought the GPL used the copyright system to exert control over distribution and derivitive works. In a copyright-free system, there would be no way to require derivitive works to have their source code made available. Maybe you're thinking of BSD-style licenses, which effectively make the work as it would be if there were no copyright?
I've had a woman bring her kid to the ER with an cold and tell me in the triage room "I can't get in to see the pediatrician till Wednesday, and by then she'll get well on her own." I'm not making this up---she was rushing to make sure her kid got seen by a doctor, because she knew the kid would get well if she waited too long. She wasn't a drooling idiot, but part of her mental checklist of being a good parent included "If kid is sick, see doctor."
Maybe the woman thought that while the kid was sick, there was some window to be able to reduce the long-term damage the sickness was going to do. Sort of like a deep wound and wanting to clean it and be sure there aren't things in it before it heals up and seals that stuff in (maybe this isn't the case, but you get the idea).
I just looked it up and "tethering" is using the cell phone as as an internet connection for a PC. If one wants to burn money quickly, there are much simpler ways, like matches.
Wait, so does this mean I can download torrents from TPB on my Time/Warner cable modem, FINALLY?!? This is great! People doubted the cable companies, but they're finally showing some hope, what with this and the non-secret bandwidth limits.

I don't think that you can upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP without doing a clean install.
I knew it! it was inspired by the HTML layout rendering engine.... right? Right???
Unless you're using the integer unit's divide on an x86 (on others like PowerPC, you don't get an exception).
There's no way that will work, because the answer is
*** Fatal exception: divide by zero

Well, they allow you to donate CPU cycles and network bandwidth using their distributed malware-hosting service. It's really popular these days.

Glaciologist sounds like a good job for someone who's not quick-witted.
There's a also a printable/readable version all on one freakin' page.
It's OK; they would have had to take it apart anyway to replace the battery at some point.
