Not to be mean, but I would really have to agree. The OP didn't provide nearly enough information to make any of the decisions he's asking about, which makes me wonder whether he even *realizes* that he doesn't have the information he needs to answer these questions. It may be time to bring in someone with more practical experience.
Yes, because my Congressman is without a doubt the best qualified to draft intelligent, thoughtful cyber-laws to deal with cyber-threats!:)
I now await his first press conference talking about his "Superior Cyber Technology"...
So, I should discount the scientific study because some Computer Scientist is unaware of any evidence about ear printing technologies?
I think we should avoid all computer devices, because the head of the Home Soapmakers Guild has never heard of reliable digital information exchange, too!
How do I get an eyeroll on this thing?
I was just thinking that - I am brand new to Blender, and am running the (now) current 2.5 beta. I have already discovered that virtually no documentation anywhere about how to do anything is correct any longer with the new UI.
I'm learning it all the hard way! Guess I'll have to wait for the next version of the book.
It's hard to compete with the used market. If you buy new, it's a much better proposition.
In my case, I like being able to take all those books on long plane flights without carrying dozens of pounds of paper with me. That convenience is worth a lot when traveling, so for me it's a good deal.
Well, you could have sections rotate and others remain relatively fixed. Kinda like a great, space-faring ferris wheel or carousel, there could be a center hub that is (effectively) weightless, and a larger outer living region that has artificial gravity...uh, I mean centrifugal/centripetal forces acting upon it.
In my case, it's straightforward...if someone is assaulted, and it is by someone who is defending himself, that's acceptable.
If someone is assaulted, but it's by someone who is robbing them, or who dislikes their color, or who is in a different gang, or...the list goes on. These are all assaults with the intention of harming someone who was not placing you or anyone else in immediate danger. At this point, WHICH of your criminal reasons caused you to commit the assault is something *I* don't really care about.
Ah, I'm immediately suspicious of any summary that mentions something weighing a kilo, anyway. It's mass, not weight! It's like saying someone masses two hundred pounds...that's weight, not mass! They mass in slugs, which is just amusing as all getout. Metric loses so much of the color the Imperial system has...where else can you measure things in gills, hogsheads, rods, chains, and slugs, anyway?
Actually, over 80% of millionaires are first-generation millionaires. That is, they made their money themselves.
Better than three-quarters of million-dollar inheratances are GONE within three generations. That is to say, the average rich person's great-grandchildren are middle class.
It is a fallacy to say "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer" without realizing that on the rich side - it isn't the same rich people.
You think Republicans are all rich people who want the poor to stay poor? No, they are people who want the poor to become rich, just like they are. The Democrats have the poor as their "slaves", effectively, dependent upon their entitlement programs for survival. You think the DEMOCRATS want those people to succeed? It's not in their interests.
*sigh* there is no room for humor, or the pointing out of small issues, anymore on the internet. I cry a little tear.
ALL I was doing was pointing out - DUDE! If you want to post some huge-ass thing about this software, take ONE SENTENCE SOMEWHERE and tell us what it is. That's all.
Come now - the point of the summary is to summarize. The summary does a remarkably poor job of that.
Just for reference, I have a content management system under my bed. It's a bunch of plastic containers on wheels...
Excellent! I'll run right out and install and use it...just as soon as you actually tell us what the heck it is! Your article isn't very helpful if you don't already know what you're talking about.
Just wanted to thank everyone for feeding the troll. His post succeeded in taking nearly all the discussion off the actual point - however silly the original point was.
Well, you've finally figured it out. The REAL purpose of everything that happens is to cause you to be imprisoned.
Can someone mod him "Funny" or "Dangerously deluded" and get it over with?
Konrath has posted on this topic repeatedly. He makes nearly twice what he did with paper books, in a dollars/month basis. More importantly, he makes what he considers to be a fair amount to live quite comfortably on, and feels that he owes something to the readership - that is, a quality / price point equation they can't get with printed material. As long as he can live well on this, he doesn't care whether he could make that much more.
Right now, I'd settle for "As strong" as spider silk. Cross-sectional wise, it's one of the strongest materials out there. If we could cable bridges with the stuff, we'd need a LOT less cable than we do with steel.
Yep, Cell is being used far outside its original design spec. Of course, if gaming consoles is its current largest market, the next generation will probably look much more like a standard POWER6 or 7 in its architecture - more emphasis on more powerful support cores, more memory per core, and all the other things that have made their way into every other CPU family currently popular.
I would not want to be betting against IBM for this marketspace. Their cell chip, which is an asymmetric multi-core CPU architecture, seemed bizarre when announced, but has proven to be quite good for these workloads. If IBM is looking to leverage their regular POWER chipset for the console market, they will probably build some screamers with them.
Cell and POWER both have Unix and Linux adaptations running on them, so having the capability seems trivial. Whether vendors will want you using their hardware that way is another matter entirely. After all, the chief reason that console games cost so much is that for every copy sold, the developer pays the console hardware manufacturer a licensing fee. Unlike the PC arena, where the architecture is published and you develop for it for effectively no additional cost.
Every friend of mine who has tried to load a full software package from Blizzard with their new torrent system (say, StarCraft II) found the straight download to be on the order of 4 - 5x faster than the torrent version.

Not being able to use the XBox isn't a bug,it's a feature!

Don't be ridiculous. It's a one followed by 100 zeroes, but they left the "plex" off the end.
Flamebait perhaps, but still correct!

If Microsoft would just write a freakin' OS that wasn't vulnerable to bugs, we wouldn't have this problem!!!
