I'm wary too, but I can only think of one rebate that I didn't get, and I know I've sent in at least a couple dozen rebate things, even one for $300 through Epson for a projector, which they DID honor.
That doesn't make sense. If pressure alone isn't enough to know, then a pressure and temp sensor on each tank should be enough to calculate the remaining fuel.
Have you actually bought a sizeable flash drive? 4GB CD cards are starting to be common, I think CF cards are the most affordable flash drive that you can reasonably use as a system drive. But for the same price, you might buy a 300GB hard drive. Not only that, there doesn't seem to be any affordable SATA-based flash drives, which is quickly becoming the only drive connection type found in computers.
So it would work great for a network terminal, there doesn't seem to be enough for most people to use just yet.
The problem with the concept of wear leveling is that I hadn't been able to find any specs on such a feature, or whether it actually exists in a product. From what I've heard of it, it would seem that it would only wear-level the free space and often-written files, so writes could still easily hammer some areas more than others, and it gets worse the more you fill up a drive. I'm not sure how it would work the way it's claimed to work, the system would work best if it kept track of the number of writes to a given sector, but that seems like quite a bit of overhead.
To restate what you say, the "Linux gaming arena" is really the utility closet. With ATI's announcement, maybe they'll migrate to the concession stand next to the utility closet.
I thought they knew what dust storms would do, they've had rovers and landers on Mars before, that experience helped temper their expectations on how long it could last. What helped was that they rolled over a ridge and managed to catch enough of the Martian wind to clear the panels.
You may think and say what you like, but the only place where "hacker" has a neutral or possitive connotation is in a relatively small subculture. The positive use is practicaly jargon, the same with "cracker", that's effectively jargon too.
Marketing at its finest.
How do you suggest overcoming the negative stereotype? "Ethical" hacking doesn't make the news because they don't do anything that's interesting to outsiders, as such, most people only know the word from negative connotations.
Hollywood is almost never a good example of anything. I really don't think their problems are centered around money, though it is a significant contributor. The hours are horrible, I was listening to a show where some guy made a documentary suggesting that the hours be brought down to twelve hours as a hard limit because longer days are a health threat, hurts marriages and so on. As you might have seen, the culture & gossip in Hollywood can be vicious too.
I think you have it mixed up. The goal of running a business is to make money. If innovating helps you make money, then that's great. If it doesn't help make money, then there's little point for the business to take part in it. Innovating can give you an edge with the competition, but it's an endless cycle, so the edge is often short-lived.
However you can take BSD code, add it to your own project and distribute just the binaries of your project without giving any source code to anyone and it is not illegal under BSD. But BSD is a license and it cannot be legally removed from a licensed file.
I still think that's bizarre though. All this licensing stuff is just headache-inducing.
I don't think it makes sense for NBC to do that. OTA HD is nice, I can get all the networks in HD, nicer than anything except HD optical disc. I could stand to improve my antenna as I do get occasional drop-outs.
OK, that makes sense. So the PS3 might not necessarily do so well for what they wanted this mini-cluster to do. Still, if there was a Cell-based workstation (like the Cell designers said there would be), I'd think that it might be possible to get one of those for what the mini-cluster cost to build and get higher performance at lower power consumption.
Moller has been saying something to the effect of "in five years" for the last fourty years. Every story on this guy, his project and the ideal that it supposedly represents bugs me. This BBC story digs up the most dirt that I've seen from this kind of story so far, and that's just "it's not yet approved by the FAA". That's because it probably will never be approved. As far as I'm concerned, stories like this only aid this scammer. The SEC had sued Moller - the same SEC that's been on their duffs over SCO's pump and dump scheme, if that gives you any indication of how bad it is.
The Skycar has been in the works for decades with barely anything to show for it. There are too many stories that just talk about the positive future that it supposedly represents when it's been a boondoggle so far. There was even action against Moller by the SEC.
I really can't get a context of who HMV is, if they are like the Musicland Group was, then they charged list price. List price is outlandish, then they needed to drop their prices. Still, the recording industry could stand to drop their wholesale pricing more.
I think the stability of a product using this system. Not only do you have the resources of two different operating systems on one piece of hardware to contend with, if one OS fails, then the device will probably fail. It's probably done well enough on expensive server hardware, but when you do that on a consumer product, I just don't think the costs can be kept down as easily.
At the time, SE wasn't out, but that's another step in the same sequence. Windows 98 fixed some 3000 bugs that weren't fixed for Windows 95 users and that's what is complaint was covering. The same might be said of 98 OSR2, if that's not SE. I don't know. I avoided that OS by jumping to Windows NT 4, which was actually very good software save for the lack of game support.
A few months ago, I found an old article in an old copy of PC/Computing where he lambasted Microsoft for releasing a $90 bugfix called Windows 98.

Maybe I've seen an instance of this. I think my parent's merchant account became more costly until they had the Address Verification System (AVS) enabled). I think it cut their fees down by 1% of the total transaction.

I've never heard of it either, and I have a credit card merchant account. The difference may be that I don't have any terminals, I'm a web-only merchant.

Wow, that's like five game franchises.

I didn't realize that N64 was a trademark, but you are right. I thought it was just a fan designation.
I think it's funny AND true.
