I think that's too much thinking, though I think the conclusion is a good one. One thing though, women need the seat down all the time, and men, maybe a third the time, that's more of a need for it to be down than up.
I prefer to have the seat and cover down. I'm not sure why people of either sex wants to see even clean toilet water even when they are in the bathroom for other reasons. If you never use the cover, then you may as well remove it, there's no reason for it to be there if it's not even used.
This one looks smaller than XD. It looks like it is about the same size as the piece of plastic inside the shell of a USB connector. It might be the same as MicroSD, I don't know. It's not the first card to offer USB compatibility. There are standard SD cards that can fold in half to present a USB connector to the user, but that's not a standard.
(and the RIAA is NOT "clearly negative" to the mainstream)
Really? Where was that survey that showed that the RIAA was considered by people to be the worst corporation in the US? I think they exceeded the distaste shown for Enron and their Ilk.
This is partly why I don't visit "hardware enthusiast" sites. If you visit one, you'll probably find about five menubars, maybe two to the top, one to each side, one on the bottom, as well as ads. I much prefer the format of a paper magazine - there is one index per issue, paper magazines didn't try to put an index on every page, and every ten words is double underlined and bolded so you can click to get an ad that's out of context with the word in question! It's impossible to overstate that the vision of hyperlinks to everywhere has been abused. To me, it seems like a system of trying to extract gold from cow dung.
However, you'll never believe that, because any lie, repeated enough, is believed to be the truth.
Yep. Both sides use this, though I am more offended by the oft-repeated initial claims that the US knew where the Iraqi WMDs and WMD development equipment were when they are nowhere to be found, eventually Bush had to admit that nothing has been found to back his claims. There were other reasons to invade, but no one thought that those other reasons were worth the weighty risk being taken.
I also get the impression that Sun's dies are a lot larger too. Big-iron chips tend to be that way. That's part of why those systems are very expensive. So that's another reason why one shouldn't compare the technology between the consumer to small iron market and the big iron market, they are different markets.
In an ideal world, yes. In this non-ideal world, AMD still has to surmount the fact that they are still a fab generation behind. If AMD can't get a clock that is close 3GHz rather than the 2.5GHz I seem to recall AMD reps throwing around, I don't think the same-die advantage will be enough help. Right now, there is no "true" four core x86 on a single die, and there are still a lot of uses for Intel's Core Quad chips, without an AMD competitor in this sector, the advantage still goes to Intel vs a product that's still in process. You should also keep in mind that Intel is not that far behind in getting four cores on one die.
So you're saying that the law means you can say what you want, as long as nobody hears you?
It's not a ban of the game in its entirety, it is a ban on direct sale to minors. I don't see how it is "nobody hears you", unless you are trying to push the idea that nobody over 18 plays games.
Itanium isn't doing that badly, but it's been relegated to the "heavy iron" mainframe and supercomputer type systems, and that's a tough market. They made a gamble that didn't work as well as they hoped.
Where did I say that it was the case ALL the time? Sometimes it is just stupid, but if they do any localization, it does take time, then it can't be released simultaneoulsly everywhere. ADR takes time.
exploiting the arbitrage created when they don't release their content simultaneously around the world.
Part of this is because the translated / adapted versions aren't ready for release at the same time. Dialogue and clips tend to get changed & tweaked up until release such that there is little point in trying to do simultaneous translations because it would be a never-ending chase. The English version can be released right away, other languages might take half a year longer.
Have fun buying your album again to play it on your cell phone's MP3 player.
It's not that hard to derive a non-DRM track from a DRM track, but a closer consideration does agree with a contention that you might make that it is worth the extra money, depending on how much you value your time and sound quality.
iTunes DRM allows you to write a standard audio CD from purchased albums, and iTunes itself will encode the CD into any of few different formats without DRM. Still, that takes about 5-10 minutes per CD, and loses a little bit of quality.
The cost of an entire album is the same with iTunes Plus tracks, so there is no extra cost for those and you save those 5-10 minutes, and better quality. If you take twelve disparate tracks, then the cost for iTP is an extra $3.60 but at least you don't lose the encoding quality and you don't spend 5-10 minutes on a reencode. Not many people value their time that much, but I think the quality part is a compelling consideration.
I think courts have to be anal about things like that. There are a lot of subtle distinctions in what is allowed based existing laws and contracts. Often, who is in the right and who is in the wrong is based on very subtle differences you mention. Even if the result is the same between two different technologies, sometimes the difference in method or technology changes who is right in the eyes of the law.
In this case though, I agree that there is no reason for MLB to be in a hissy fit. The people that are "breaking" geographical boundaries did not sign a broadcast agreement that I can tell. I'm not sure why the bother. Obviously not all games can be broadcast everywhere with existing broadcast, TV and satellite technologies.
Wow. Your post is concise AND has has actual content that can be deciphered, unlike "Game Master"'s submission. Game Master, if you are reading, please learn from this.
I don't think it's that easy. The pro apps have taken a long time to be dual-processor aware. It was only recently that the CPU makers more or less sprung dual core on the consumers and quads and octos on the pros, it only took a little over a year to get four cores in one inexpensive processor module. I don't think any of the developers of consumer software had anticipated that quick of a jump. I know that the developers were aware of upcoming multi-core systems, but they'll have to either rework or scrap their code base to take advantage of it.
I don't get it. How much benefit would your parents get from a 64 bit OS? Are they doing enough media work to tax the CPU in 32 bit mode such that encoding would be faster if they had software that used 64 bit ints? Are they doing hard core encryption? Judging from the RAM quantity, you aren't using enough memory to make 64 bit addressing desirable.
NPR's Science Friday had an interview with a more plausible cause of colony collapses, it basically involves an intruder insect that is known to be only a small nuisance against African bees but with European bees, it causes a highly stressfull hormone feedback loop such that all the bees basically abandon the hive.
I really don't have a problem with some of the farm subsidies. It's bad enough that the US depends on overseas energy, should the US be dependent on overseas food too?

Why are all the document links dead? Every PDF document they say they have is gone.

What is an indecent game sale? Is that when the cashier is naked when operating the register?
idling and wasting power doing NOPs most of the time.
What twit is programming NOPs into modern programs? An idle core doesn't consume much power.
I would like to see a source for your 16 core claim.

I don't think the table is likely to be so terriby thick that parallax would be a problem.
I've found some coatings for acrylic that is supposed to make it scratch resistant. I'll have to dig that reference up some time.

Personally I have a quad core setup (2 opteron 265's) and it's routinely up over 50% (not doing media encoding).
Odd, I have a quad (two Woodcrest Xeons) and it's idle most of the time. It's just nice to have in those encoding circumstances.

I'm sorry, but what? Do you honestly not believe the US has the best hospitals, doctors, and medical research in the world?
How is that an excuse to possibly infect hundreds more people in getting there? I would call that the "asshole bastard syndrome".

Most decent subnotebooks are around $2000, and they have a boot-up time.
I kind of like the idea of pressing a button and it's just running, rather than waiting a minute or two for a notebook to boot up.
I really don't understand the name - "Foleo" is a dumb distortion of "folio".
I really don't have a problem with some of the farm subsidies. It's bad enough that the US depends on overseas energy, should the US be dependent on overseas food too?
