the stuff is basically finisar GBICs which cisco uses.
"Basically" covers a lot of ground. Suppose Cisco wants to guarantee 99.995 uptime/reliability. If the underlying equipment is insufficiently precise, Cisco's support engineers have to be sent out more often, which costs more than engineering that extra bit of reliability in hardware. Perhaps Cisco buys Finisar parts in bulk and bins those that don't pass some internal Cisco benchmark/quality inspection.
But that "generic" Finisar GBIC could well be a counterfeit.
Jerry Rawls, President and CEO of Finisar, remarked on the problems Finisar is having with fake GBIC fiber optic transceivers they have discovered at their customers’ premises. Photos were shown of two GBIC transceivers that looked identical from the outside, but only one was manufactured by Finisar. It would seem that the Rolex and Gucci phenomenon of low cost replicas has now reached the photonics community. The concern is that this may be the tip of the iceberg and many companies in the photonics business may be suffering revenue loss from exact ‘fakes.’
It seems Intel doesn't get even a "honorable mention" until page 3. At $120 price point, Core i3 gets a look in. Oh, they also don't recommend anything above about $160 to quote Tom's: "Best gaming CPU for $190: None
and then... you stopped reading.
Best gaming CPU for $200:
Core i5-750
The new Core i5 brings top-of-the-line Nehalem-class performance at a $200 price point. We recently awarded it our Recommended Buy honor after seeing it stand up to more expensive CPUs in games and other demanding apps.
They don't recommend spending more than $200, though.
Gorillas move around by knuckle-walking. Adult males range in height from 1.65–1.75 metres (5 ft 5 in–5 ft 9 in), and in weight from 140–200 kg (310–440 lb). Adult females are often half the size of a silverback, averaging about 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in) tall and 100 kg (220 lb). Occasionally, a silverback of over 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) and 230 kg (510 lb) has been recorded in the wild. However, obese gorillas in captivity have reached a weight of 270 kg (600 lb). Gorillas have a facial structure which is described as mandibular prognathism, that is, their mandible protrudes farther out than the maxilla.
You're just obtuse. If the cops use a racial profile, citizens will be more likely to be harassed if they happen to be hispanic. Anglos, exempted from the profile, will not be, regardless of their immigration status.
The two suspect categories, subject to strict scrutiny, are race and religion, not race and sex. Sexual discrimination is only subject to heightened scrutiny.
Gender (masculine/feminine)is somewhat different than Sex (Male/Female). As long as the gender discrimination does not amount to sex discrimination, it's subject to only minimal scrutiny.
While a person cannot change their national origin, they can choose to change their citizenship. The same cannot be said of race.
It is funny listening to some of the people complaining, because they make stupid comments like "We can't profile Hispanics, just because most of the undocumented/illegal aliens are Hispanic".
Even if most illegal aliens are hispanic, most hispanics aren't Illegal aliens. read and enjoy
A fact can be misleading: a red herring that tends to make pursuit of the larger truth more difficult. However, in some dialects, "an incorrect fact" is a piece of data that has been claimed to be true, but really isn't. It's not the most elegant turn of phrase.
Perhaps the American equivalent would be "myth"--though this tends to irritate mythologists.
Anybody alive during the 70's should also remember a distinct similarity between the vehement AGW campaign and what was then a vehement AGC (Anthropogenic Global Cooling) campaign.
Are you sure you aren't confusing "Global Cooling" with "Nuclear Winter"?
Depriving someone of potential profits is not theft.
Why not? Consider a copy shop. It owns lots of equipment--printers, copiers, scanners-- and rents out use of that equipment. If a third party removes the equipment from the store, the copy shop loses out on the potential income it could have earned from rents.
We already know that Google missed something. The attackers got in. Now Google has to figure out what else it missed, and fix those bugs post haste.
Open source software works best when the code is publishable; when the millions of eyes can understand it and contribute back to it. Getting the code into publishable shape takes time and manpower, and right now, Google can spare neither.
The value of a copyright lies in its exclusivity-- it is a legitimate monopoly on the right to publish. When a work is pirated, that monopoly is infringed and stolen away.
They're afraid that the young people will get hooked on the vile brew/weed and go on to drive under the influence/contribute to air pollution. Think of the Children!

You're more right than you know.
But to the point - Costumers will NOT pay.
Costumers will simply switch to natural fabrics.

Yes, I do, actually. It's always in my pants.
And what if it's in your other pair of pants?
I don't drive, so the option to carry ID looms larger.

I'm a US citizen. I'm not required to carry papers.
This paper predicts massive cooling-- on the order of 1--10 K. What's more, it would be anthropogenic!
That's why the head of the CRU at UAE resigned his post.
Nope. Phil Jones is still the director of the CRU. source. For a time, he had stepped aside, but that's standard practice during witchhunts.
You're judging a scientific paper on the basis of a slashdot paraphrase?
