I really don't see how any developer would make HD-DVD 360 games because of that very reason. Why cut most of your market out like that? Just take a look at how long it took for a lot of game distributors to standardize on DVD even if the drives were only $10 and you couldn't buy a computer without a DVD drive for years now.
I can't find anything that said that the XBox tuner would be QAM-only. Over the air works just fine and can't legally be encrypted.
"I'll put hd-cable to the same place in my heart as Hidef cable."
I wasn't aware that "hd-cable" was something different from "Hidef cable".
Right now, I think most hydrogen fuel is acquired through reactions using fossil fuels.
I wouldn't say that hydrogen's storage and transportation problems are insurmountable, it doesn't really have the same returns per volume and weight (when considering the entire storage unit) as other fuels. Coming up with better ways to burn it doesn't really help the other issues in the chain.
That's not the problem, though it is opportunistic. Just because "everyone" does it doesn't mean there aren't problems with it. It encourages ignoring more significant problems in order to get greater attention - it's probably good for expanding your donor base, but it's bad if you actually want to fulfill the stated goal of the organization. At this point, organizations do a lot more to try to stay alive than they actually do to try to fill their stated goals. They'll present facts out of context in order to scare some money out of people.
Greenpeace castigated Apple for using small amounts of substances that are still legal to use even in baby toys and new car interiors, which use those substances in greater quantities. They have praised Apple's competitors for promising to get rid of stuff at a certain date when Apple beats those competitors at getting rid of those compounds and only say so *after* it's been eliminated. Actual action is better than promise of such action.
In this case, that's it with regards to this story. Gizmodo's spin on that line to get this attention is quite hypocritical.
But when GP bitched about the MacBook, they complained about a relatively benign substance when they let other makers off for using more toxic substances. They praised Dell & HP for promising to get rid of a certain substance from new computers at a certain date while ignoring that Apple had already stopped using it.
The type of compounds that they complain about that are sealed inside the iPhone are still legal to use in baby bottles, chew toys and new car interiors.
I think it might, but it would be tight. I thought that some of the Bell 47 models had around that amount of HP and were used to carry two + those in the litters as medevac choppers.
I wouldn't know about that. WiFi has been around for some time now and I still really don't like it that much, I don't consider it mature yet.
I think wireless video has been around for some time too.
It's hard to say if this video link is worth it yet. A person wanting the appearance of no wires should weigh the cost of installing an in-wall wiring system and this. The in-wall system can be easily set up to handle power through a second cable without hurting people too, without much additional cost.
The Shuttle is usually a stupid way to get anything into orbit. If it wasn't a sacred cow, I think NASA would get much cheaper ways to get heavier payloads into orbit. It didn't do certain things that it was good at very often, which was take very large payloads and bring them back. It was used to repair the Hubble, but NASA can build & launch specialized telescopes that greatly advance cosmology and astrophysics for about the cost of a shuttle servicing mission. Most of those don't get such in terms of nice pictures for the public. I think public pressure is why Hubble still gets servicing considerations that it might not otherwise get, not that I'm complaining, Hubble can still do many things that the other orbiting and ground-based telescopes can't.
Europe is doing some big science projects though, the immense LHC is one such example. Thae US has no similar high-energy physics project that I'm aware of, in operation or in serious planning.
I know that he couldn't be bothered to uphold his commitments, from what happened to a local talk that he didn't bother to show up to give, despite being offered transportation to go there.
In general, boats are a *lot* slower than rail. Either way, I'll be taking the flight, thank you. I really don't see any of them really being competitive with flying.
Wow, the full-size images are nasty. It's 3.6 Megapixels and the picture really doesn't start to look good until it's scaled down to about a tenth of that.
There are probably several isotopes in the atmosphere, and several that aren't. If you find a lot of certain isotopes that are rare locally, then it's reasonable to suggest that it had come from elsewhere.
If the White House didn't like the laws, they should have asked for revisions or new ones. They could have gotten them in the "rubber-stamp" Republican congress, but they waited for years and until after the programs were publicized. The government may have a legit reason, but the problem is that it's rife with potential for abuse. As far as I'm concerned, that potential is always a good reason to narrow down and eliminate any change that a law is used for something other than the stated intention. If they don't expect to use a law in a certain way, then make sure it is worded such that it doesn't get used in that way.
I think there's a fair chance that this sort of surveillance is used against legitimate protesters too. Maybe the White House would protest that suggestion, but really, if they want me to trust them, they need to earn that trust and allow independent oversight. The other problem I have with the White House is that they seem to be very reluctant about that.
That's very interesting, though not quite what I had in mind.
I wonder how well that system works. Knowing how much I have to charge for operator & machine time on a commercial project, their rates are almost impossibly low. A one hour training session on all that equipment is impossibly short in my opinion. The safety training required before allowing an employee to use much of that equipment is considerably longer. And then there's the liability concerns as well. If that really works like they say it does, it's quite impressive.
It sounds like an excellent idea. Maybe he misses part of the culture that might not be easy to recreate?
Maybe it's trite or overcommercialized, but a club in the vein of "Make" might be doable. People make interesting projects with things available around the home, that might be novel or practical, but usually fun. There are some Make Faires that look like they'd be fun to go to, I just don't want to do a road trip out of state.
I had made a project very, very similar to yours. I think it was designed to operate about two years on a battery. It had to be a battery because the atmosphere had potentially explosive vapors.
Except for that project, I usually use the PIC16F87x series. I had a project that used just about every feature on an 877 and just about maxed out the RAM, EEPROM, program space and stack space. It might not sound like much because the chips are very simple compared to a PC, but it can be pretty tough work, and quite gratifying too. Add a button or a transistor or two to a microcontroller and you can interface with the "real world" in many ways that most tech people don't.
Anyway, the important thing is to apply a technology to something in a way that hasn't been done before or to improve on an existing idea. Your example is probably one of them. So you might not get to lead the way in some new avenue of human society and culture, but it's still often interesting work, and there are fairly affordable ways to get into it, even if it might just be a hobby. I've done maybe six projects that were intended to be commercialized. While they were all functional projects when I was done, none of them really made it to being available to buy, due to circumstances largely out of my control or influence, but it was still interesting work.
I actually enjoy that show. Like with just about any entertainment, you have to put up with some tired clichés, but it's pretty funny. I really like Chuck Lorre's most recent three shows, Dharma & Greg, Two and a Half Men and now this one.
I call rubbish. Look under Boot Camp. They are counting Leopard's ability to read and write FAT 32 as a new feature. For all I know, it's probably been there since 10.0, maybe in previous versions of Mac OS.
It's an open question whether he would have done as well. As I understand it, a lot of long-running bands gradually fade away in sales and popularity. The band that might have filled stadiums in the 70's might still be together, but playing at county fairs today if they thought it was still worthwhile to do so.

Making personal backups in itself is permitted, but there is no legal requirement to make it easy.

Har, that's true to a different dimension. The image problems were there even in the photo that doesn't feature RMS.

That's what I was thinking. Such a huge elevator shaft is such a waste of floor space too, unless it works as a service elevator too.

Not twice, 50% more given that you are either prone to stupid hyperbole or are bad at math.
The cost was $399 for something worth buying, the $299 model was not. The separate drive was $199, so the total for such a model would have been $599.
Maybe not standardize on it, but the top model could have had one built in, I would have been willing to pay the extra.
In general, boats are a *lot* slower than rail. Either way, I'll be taking the flight, thank you. I really don't see any of them really being competitive with flying.
Wow, the full-size images are nasty. It's 3.6 Megapixels and the picture really doesn't start to look good until it's scaled down to about a tenth of that.
Now, you can probably set up a bot net to give you a few million and noone would notice.
