Personally, I'd like all corporat tax breaks be removed from any company that outsouces. If it makes them so much money, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Wow. you really think I was oblivious to the good old relationship between energy and matter, e=mc^2? In many ways matter can be concidered as much a form of energy as heat or electricity, especially when used in the context of fuel, as it is here. Some amount of energy comes in as matter, an equal amount of energy comes out as something useful like electricity.
That wasn't the point of my comment anyway. My point was that we're always hearing about these amazing things "right around the corner", but with only a few snags in the way. I don't want to hear about it until the snags have been solved, and the solution is clear.
And next time you want insult someone, why don't you leave your own name, or are you too afraid someone will turn it back around on you?
researchers still are working on building a helium-3 reactor that would produce more energy than it takes in
So let's see, the only thing in the way of their plans is this silly little law of physics that says energy in must equal energy out. period. you can't create energy, you can't destroy it.
On the same line, getting to the galaxy next door is right around the corner, we just need to figure out how to go 10,000x the speed of light.
Oh, and immortality is close too, we just need to get around that "death" thing.
I doubt that anyone... well, almost anyone... is dumb enough to accept a bill clearly marked $10 as a $20. Just because the plastic strip inside says it's a 20, the visible and highly recognizable part of the bill still has $10 written all over it.
1. Since when were commentaries reliable? I can comment all I want that the world is ending, but it doesn't make it true.
2. Who the hell is "Curmudgeon Gamer"? I've never heard of them before. Perhaps if a well known figure in the industry made the commentary it would have a teeny tiny bit of weight to it, but not from this place.
Apparently you missed a lesson. You just said the sequence is: 4, 5, 6 1, 2, 3 6, 7, 8
Why Moving the Rover Was Dangerous

Spirit Rolls on Mars

· Score: 4, Insightful
* Driving over the balloons is more dangerous than martian terrain. They could get caught in the wheels.
* Suppose some part of the rover had been broken on landing, but had not surfaced yet because it had not moved. Think of a broken neck - it doesn't cause paralysis until you move and sever your nerves.
* Take advantage of a controlled situation. They wanted to take advantage of a controlled situation for as long as they could. From the lander they could take panoramic pictures from a sligh elevation. They could atmospheric measurements, etc. All this could be done without the adding the possible failure points introduced by moving the rover.
* The lander has more solar panels and perhapse some better communication hardware. Might as well take advantage of them while you're there.
I just pulled those off the top of my head. I'm sure there are better reasons and it's been discussed here before. Will you people stop bickering about them taking too long to move it?
How's this: Give me 3 equally good reasons why they should have hurried to get it off the lander.
A DVD holds ~4.7gb. This sounds almost the perfect size to me for a camcorder. You could record straight to the hard drive, and then transfer the video straight to either a standalone dvd burner, or to your desktop machine and edit/burn from there.
I couldn't agree more, but I believe the reason is animal cruelty. People are drafted rarely, but only after they have the priveledge of voting. The rest of the armed forces are all volunteers. Dogs are neither capable of voting or of volunteering, so someone would raise a fuss about it.
Of course, war is war. People die, and yes, animals die too I'm sure. Back when wars were fought on horseback, it wasn't like the movies -- the horses DID get injured and killed.
The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WaitToKillAppTimeout (And if it isn't that one, just search the registry for 'WaitToKillAppTimeout')
is defaulted at I think 5000ms. Changing this to 0 gives you back that "shot to the head" effect.
Also, others have mentioned the desire for lsof or other such things...
go checkout SysInternals. They have tons of freeware monitor file handles , processes, threades, memory, DLL Accesses, port accesses, disk accesses,...
And just what artists would they have on their label? All the artists they have now are already signed to the major labels. Sure, they could start signing on indi artists, and compete with magnatune, but honestly most people don't dig indi artists, atleast not the kind of people who buy an iPod (the trendy people).
It's the fact your product and actions are not wanted.
Simple capitalism- Sell a product people want in a manner people want it and you will make money. Spam does neither as such will eventually die out.
It doesn't matter what the receiver of the spam wants. What matters is that companies want to get advertisements for their services out to millions of people, and she provides that service. Therefore, she has high demand. And spam filters interfere with her being able to meet her customer's expectations.
That said, I think I should cover my back by saying I hate spammers, they should die, and wtf is she doing sending spam and wearing a "what would Jesus do?" shirt? Just goes to show you ALL kinds of people can be dumb, mean, and detrimental to society.

AMEN! That's the best idea I've heard all day.
Oh boo-freakin-hoo.
Microsoft stole Apple's ideas? One word: Xerox
I'd say it's the next small thing!

Come on people! did you totally miss the Wayne's World reference??
F) You're a gimp.

Gimme a break.
And this is why there is a motion to make NATs illegal.
Wait, you worked close to 20 women, and all you could think to do about it was complain?
Ah right, this is slashdot afterall.

Funny, when i search for mp3 player (with and also without the surrounding quotes to group the words), i get...
winamp.com (the most popular mp3 player software)
mp3.com
musicmatch.com (another popuplar player)
sonique (another popular player)
xmms (the most popular player for linux)
A word of caution on using premade hosts files...
On several windows 2000 boxes I ran into periodic CPU spikes to 100% by SERVICES.EXE (about once every 15 minutes).
Eventually I realized that I had allowed Spy-Bot Search & Destroy to install its hosts entries to block popups and other sites.
It seems windows was reprocessing that file (it was quite huge) every few minutes, and was having a hard time with it.
Not saying this will happen to everyone, but when i deleted that file and hand made a smaller one, the slowdowns went away.
OK. First off, I did not RTFA. sue me.

Perhapse the constant sub-zero temperatures.
Sadly I'm sure they will stop producing them, but they will not give up the patents. You think they'd let someone else make lego compatible blocks??

Hey now, Aragorn is pretty cool, and Legolas is just plain awsome. I am a straight male as well, but damn he's cool :)
Nowhere in the link you posted is there a reference to moviemistakes.com.
The interview from msnbc/newsweek might be the same or similar, but there IS new content.
