Of course, it comes with a paltry 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (soldered in, naturally) or a 1.6 GHz C2D.
Oh, I see that my new talking points have come in from Apple.
You don't need a faster processor because it's still faster than an Atom. You don't need to upgrade the RAM, because virtual memory on an SSD is so much faster.
Thanks, Apple! My Fanboy subscription still pays dividends!
Myth. VHS and Betamax have almost-identical specs (see below). In fact VHS has one advantage Betamax did not have: It could hold 10.5 hours per tape, while Betamax maxed-out at just 5.5 hours. VHS is the superior standard, and that's why it won.
WTF? I have a VHS VCR, though I haven't used it for 10 or 15 years.
The longest readily available tape was the T-120. At the standard settings, it was enough for two hours of video. You could record in Extended play mode for six hours, but the results were horrible, and often quite fatiguing on the eyes. I never used the EP mode, and was even a bit leery of the medium speed setting (4 hrs).
10.5 hours per tape sounds like a security tape setting. "At 10.15 this morning, a grey blob entered the store, and subsequently pulled out a dark gray blob, and brandished it at the cashier."
The phrasing "The Jeep brand today announced it has been named exclusive automotive partner by Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops" implies that Activision was considering multiple bids. What a honor this must have been for Jeep; to be recognized as the writer of the largest check.
Still, unless you can play CoD while driving, it's just not worth it.
It's "policy". And with all such policies, discussion is prohibited. Otherwise, the policy would be ineffective. What you seek is not helpfulness, but a way to skirt this policy and thwart the dictates of your managers. Sounds like insubordination to me.
Gates doesn't have a crystal ball. He's saying his assessment is that the probability of damage from the leaks is high.
He shouldn't be using one. Crystal balls are the stuff of myth and fantasy. What he should have is enough controls on the classification regime to understand exactly why a particular piece off information is classified, and what damage will result from improper disclosure of that bit of information. And no, political embarrassment doesn't count.
Ah, but have you ever considered the possibility that individuals could be battered on both sides, by an ostensibly democratic government on one side, and and unabashedly authoritarian corporation on the other?
I expect the Bodlein library has a retention policy not unlike the the Library of Congress's. They're entitled to receive copies, but not every copy is kept.
The archivists finally did manage to decode the Digital Domesday, nine months after your article was written. Still, not every "digital" book is historically significant enough to merit this sort of rescue effort.
That's what expose is for. Course, if you're juggling terminal windows, it's a pain-- shells on different machines look pretty much the same when reduced in size.
Virtually can be winnowed down quite a bit with further research, though naturally, embryonic stem cells will be an important component of this research.

The RAM is soldered in
Let me just repeat that, in case it hasn't quite sunk in yet.
The RAM is soldered in/ If you buy it with 2GB, you can't upgrade it. If you buy it with 4 GB, you can't upgrade it.
However, you can upgrade the SSD.

How's the noise? My sister has a one of those early, pre nvidia macbooks, and is quite miffed at how loud it can be. Does switching to SSD help?
There is no OS X server.
Ahem

Bias? You can't avoid bias. Sometimes bias is helpful, sometimes it is not. Sometimes bias is part of being human.
Biased people can be right; they can also be wrong. To attack someone on the basis of bias is to avoid confronting the substance of his argument.

Governments are also collections of individuals.
And 5 years later, we'll get a holographic star wars, with new scenes, and new characters.
Legislatures pass bills of attainder. This is simply lawlessness.
100% of the time, information is classified to protects someone's ass.
All computers are PCs.
You must be very wealthy.

The gestalt.
The canon spelling of that word is "cannon"
Did you mean "canonical"?

Perhaps. But both fertility treatments and abortions help to provide reproductive choice.
In some countries, cemetery plots are leased, not sold.
Reproductive material that might produce a viable human, even more so - and understandably so.
I'm afraid I don't understand.
Hurray for wait states!
No, you're thinking of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which should only be viewed with Peril Sensitive Sunglasses.
