Aside from the fact that the article says TI and not HP (blame editors now), HP has been trying to make their calculators flashier. The HP32C replacement (can't remember the model) looks like Mechagodzilla's codpiece. Sadly, They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To (tm). The old brown (or dark green for the 48G* models), hard plastic clicky key machines of yore are gone, to be replaced by membrane keys and gold paint.
Have you priced a copy of DB2? Have you looked at what IBM service costs? The total bill on IBM hardware per-system usually dwarfs the competition. A pile of Sun machines running Oracle Parallel probably still doesn't come close.
That 30% represents 30% of money made selling these things, not 30% of the number of machines sold. So yeah, probably IBM mainframes. And considering IBM likes rolling in the cost of the OS, service, and DB2 licenses into the system cost, it wouldn't take too many machines sold to get up to 30%.
Your city owns a golf course because somebody got a vote through to appropriate funds and land for it. If you didn't vote against it or drum up community support against it, it's your own damn fault.
Besides, you can always do the same after the fact and try to pass through a measure to pave it over and sell it to Wal-Mart.
Not true! All those commercials in between Saturday morning cartoons for sugary cereal with iridescent stale marshmallows told me that a complete breakfast includes milk, juice and toast. And the Ghostbusters would never lie to me about my health!
Correct. The grandparent poster should read the article and notice that nowhere did it say that the sweat irrigation was to be derived from buried pipes. It even went so far as to describe one of his PVC cold water pipe sweat condensers in detail, noting that it was out in the open.
The problem is, in costal areas, fresh water for irrigation is scarce, and current desalinization processes are expensive. His cold water system is an inexpensive (almost free) method for generating fresh water, and as such is practical for providing for irrigation as well as potable water.
FYI, pipes sweat because the water (or whatever) fluid flowing through them is colder than the surrounding air, which causes water vapor in the air to condense on the pipes. This is the same principle used in dehumidifiers, though the water is usually an unwanted by-product in that case.
Gah! Do you people only read the headlines? Otellini never said anything about Apple! Besides, he'd probably wake up with a horse's severed head in his bed if he blamed it on the OS.
Naw, must have been they did enough brain damage breathing in the sweet mercury vapor filling of the tubes that this seemed like an even better idea than it did on the outset.
Huh. Something's gotta give with the matinee price. Not to drag this too far off topic, but the Gargle Blaster wasn't quite like being smashed in the head with a lemon-wrapped brick, but it did look and taste a lot like a cup of Windex with an olive in it.
Partially true. There is a theater downtown called the Paramount that also participates, as does the Dobie Theater next to campus (2nd floor of the Dobie mall/dorm complex thing). The Arbor theater used to cooperate as well, but they went under and the location had been bought by Alamo Drafthouse.
SXSW really encompasses all of central Austin, and most every venue is a unique local establishment.
In addition to all the wonderful things that others have to say about the Drafthouse, there's one point others may have overlooked. This theater provides ample insurance against having a bad time despite a bad movie.
First off, they serve excellent food, but more importantly they serve beer. Amazingly, a pint of Guinness costs less there than a large drink at a chain theater.
If that weren't enough... You know how most theaters will show ad slideshows before the movie? Instead, each theater has a video projector in addition to the film one, and for some time before the movie (over an hour at a special event) they show related and often funny material related to the movie in question.
Example: I went to see Episode III at the Drafthouse on opening night (well, 12:01am opening day). Not only did I have the option of getting hammered if it turned out to be crap, I was entertained by the pre-movie screening of parts of the Cartoon Network Clone Wars short animations mixed between the likes of excerpts of Turkish Star Wars, Star Crash, various interviews, Mark Hamill's appearance on The Muppet Show, and (possibly worth the price of admission) the Star Wars Thanksgiving Special.
Actually, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was free with admission to the Hitchhiker's Guide. Don't forget their live events like Mister Sinus Theater or Foleyvision. Truly worth the price of admission.

You sick bastard. And to think I saw it in the theater.
Right. Sure. But it's not worth the pain of dealing with people remarking and reselling overachieving parts just to make a few cheapskates happy. AMD probably doesn't mind it that you're restricted from getting too much value out of its cheaper chips. Besides, a good percentage of overclockers pay far more in support equipment (heatsink, mobo, case, disco lights) than the delta between an A64-3200 and the latest FX chip.

Hey, smartacus... Switching power supplies don't use full wave rectifiers. And even if they did, a FWR will not turn AC into DC by itself.
Aren't he and his dad supposed to be immortal now or something?

Just because somebody is dyslexic doesn't mean fun should you make of their grammar.
"Source Code Chef"? That may make more sense.
