Well actually it could be a cause. The Ice cream is being kept colder then outside air. Since no insulatoin system is perfect (and besides milk is not frozen when it comes from the cow) this take energy to cool, and mainten the temperature. Since the heat has to go somewhere it goes from the inside of the freezer to the outside. Since no system is 100% efficent it is actually introduces more heat into the outside environment then would be expected(i.e. heat that can't be fixed by lettng the icecream cool the air). So in the end you get more heat in the environment. All this is completely ignoring the fact that you are probably adding heat to the environment when you (inefficently) make the power.
So yes ice cream is a cause for warming at least on the local level, and thus in time the global level. Hmm interesting task would be to figure out how much. Oh yeah notice that all this was done without talk of emisions of any kind.
911 Transcript Operator: "911, What is the nature of your emergency." Caller: "Help I've been shot." Operator: "Are you sure?" Caller: "Listen, a guy came in and shot me." Operator: "Hmm are you a forensic scientist, how do you know he shot you?" Caller: "Listen, I'm bleeding, I'm COVERED in blood" Operator: "There is no need to shout. Are you a doctor, how do you know it is blood? Maybe it is just food coloring." Caller: "Because It tastes like blood, and is comming from me." Operator: "Well have you ever accidentally spilt some red ink on you and thought you were cut?" Caller: "Yes, but" Operator: "Well then, you weren't shot then, you were wrong that time what about this time." Caller: "Please could I just have some help?" Operator: "Hmm, I suppose I can be nice, here I have the number of a forensic scientist you can call, and when he gets over there have him call me, Ok? Caller: "Ugghh...." (silence) Operator: "See I knew he wasn't shot"
Since he lost a contract to someone, there does seem to be competition. And I remember there being a Light saber in some popular electronics magazine (it used a neon tube, so I would be a bit worried about it).
You don't need them to prosectute piracy. That is straight copyright law. The EULAs are used to control the users. So that you don't take your copy of Windows 2000 workstation and change a few settings and have advanced server. (among other things)
Looks down the list of common viruses. Hmm maybe because it is true?
Yes, some form of protection is certainly needed on servers, etc. But as a practical matter viruses in the wild attack windows computers. The principal vector for infection is outlook/outlook express. Anti-MS digs are bad when they are stretches or outright lies, but in this case it is simply true.
I don;t know about that. When MS gave away a copy of WinXP plus a cheap lava lamp for $50, thousands of people on message boards said they were signing up. And most of them had had hacked betas for weeks, and would have had no problem obtaining a hacked real version.
Hmm my educational insititution has plenty of comps, unused 99% of the time except for around finals, and even then not wholey used. Of course they keep on trying to raise the tech fees. I'd first ask the Institution to fix the problem.
If that doesn't work, well some places actually have extra space that if you are a Student Organization you can rent out, don't know the term of that rental thing though, or the distribution limits, and there are lots of rules involved with SOs normally. Still try to work within the beureaocraccy before breaking it.
Actaully the only time you are almost certain to be able to cause some pain is with companies. I've had great luck with this. If someone can't browse thier site, and thus can't buy from them, well that pisses people off. Business managers don't care that they are getting 95% of all people, because that 5% that they are losing could well make the difference between success and failure(also it wastes advertising, and promotion). Honestly though the last time I had serious trouble with a corprate site was months ago.
Huh??? It isn't even a proper RTOS. Calling it the premier embedded OS is silly and untrue. PalmOS has been a very very minor player in the embedded market. WinCE embeded almost certainly outsells by a factor of ten or more. Qnx is a far better canidate for the premier OS.
??? Ion engines work fine thank you very much Boeing even sold one of them for comerical use, so it might even be considered out of R&D and into present tech stage.
Technically within context it is completely correct. Afterall it doesn;t much good to actually name the university there, because that would imply that annother univerisity might have found annother keyboard to also " virtually eliminate the high-stress postures....Syndrome" Also the use of major prevents them from being sued if some little college did find annother keyboard to be similiarly effective.
I am more worried by cirtually eliminate that sounds overbroad.
LARP is a different kettle of fish. Some LARPs are based on skill (i.e. you swing the sword, you fire the bow), and in those NPCs can kill a unskilled opponent even if thier stats are 1/100 the PC's stats. In most MMRPGs that can never happen, or at least not likely. Yes the random number genertator can do evil things, but generally there is only so much one can do. So stats do matter particularly as for the most part thier is no GM. Think of a MMRPG as a giant pen and paper RPG run by a novice GM reading from a detailed adventure guide. If one knew the dice rolls ahead of times one could probably tell you exactly what the result would be.
As for Non cheaters being kicked as cheaters, happens all the time. Some one throws a gernade gets very lucky, kills five people at once, hasn't died yet, the server kicks them.
It is not for "a single character feels the got ripped off by another player" that one goes to back ups. One goes to backups when a player hacks in a mighty wand of smiting and kills everyone within reach till caught.If you have good enough records you can at the least remove those deaths caused by the renegade player.
What exactly are you talking about provide a link. Google only comes up with Samba the SMB(CIFS) client. SMB is supported on MacOS, but how does that help?
A fully drop in replacement would not be as earth shattering as you would think, as companies would be hesitant to more or less throw thier support agreements out the window. Imagined Tech Support Call:
Tech: Now go to Control Panels, User: I don't have a Control Panels Tech: you don't??? It is under the start menu. User: I don't have a start menu I have a foot menu. Tech: (Quickly) Current Company policy is not to support linux. Goodbye.
Yes but since it was NVidia's part of the design (the same thing was used on thier NForce series) MS probably just asked "Is everything secure on your end?" To which NViDia probalby said "Of course, there is no way the can tap the HyperTransport bus without spending thousands of dollars". In other words NViDIA almost certainly said there was no problem, yeah MS will have to deal with it, but MS is not a HW company, they are sort of obliged to trust thier contractors to be secure when they say they are.
Microsoft probably has nothing to do with this "hole"(I am hesitent to call it that). NViDIA is almost certainly the one who laid out the spec that used the bus. MS probably just signed off on it.
A) Digital is what they have been for a long time, simpler, faster, etc. Far faster and easier to edit. Even if someone were to use analog, it would probably be converted to digital for editing.
B) Even if it were to be analog, it would probably not be saved direct to a record, it would not be recorded directly to a record. so you will have to convert it to a record, and then press the vinyl.
C) Mathematical chunks are you a bloody fool? They are called numbers. Also if you were to look at wave in the hearable frequency (or even a good bit beyond it) you would see a very smooth curve (assuming a steady single freq tone) In other words a sine wave will look like a sine wave if you plot the numbers.
D) What would happen if you spent 10k+ on a cd player, and speakers? heh if you were bored you could get SACD or DVDAudio and really blow your argument away

First sale is not directly in the US consititution. A law passed by congress will be valid as long as it complies with the consititution.
Sucks though.

Of course they will all be in the same room at the same time, but that will be just a coincidence. Should make it easier to justify at leastWhat exactly are you talking about provide a link. Google only comes up with Samba the SMB(CIFS) client. SMB is supported on MacOS, but how does that help?

Actually the forth one is obviously in the US declaration of Independence.
The Third copmes from the US Consitituion Article I Section 8 Clauses: 1, 3, 11
The Seccond from the US constitution again Article I Section 8 Clauses: 11-16
The First also comes from the same source Article I Section 8 Clauses: 5,6, and possibly 2
Umm here is one vote for information.
Really though there is no reason that thre can't be two standards. One for copyright, and one for speech.
A) Digital is what they have been for a long time, simpler, faster, etc. Far faster and easier to edit. Even if someone were to use analog, it would probably be converted to digital for editing.
B) Even if it were to be analog, it would probably not be saved direct to a record, it would not be recorded directly to a record. so you will have to convert it to a record, and then press the vinyl.
C) Mathematical chunks are you a bloody fool? They are called numbers.

Respond, yeah sure. Hell I have a pair of $6 headphones that will "respond" to 32khz or so the specs say. But do they respond accurately?

You can feel sounds higher then what you can hear, but generally only as a splitting headache
