The concept of an engine primarily powered by air has been around for quite a while in the form of A STEAM ENGINE, YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD. Your friend is neither intelligent nor creative.
Key note on why it's so good: Toyota didn't do most of the engineering on it. It's basically a Lotus (Makers of the revered Elise) engineered car with a Toyota badge on it.
I wonder how they managed to up the clock so dramatically? Is it just SOI and other techniques, or did they lengthen the pipeline significantly.
If it's just a pipeline lengthening scheme, well, meh, but if they kept the same execution pipeline and are now at 2.5ghz operating range, they're going to kick some ass.
While technically you are correct and I've said nothing right in this entire discussion, the article is old to the point that nobody is even going to notice.
When Apple is capable of losing well over a quarter million a year, as they have done in the recent past, that 4 billion isn't as much as it looks like.
I think I speak for anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics that just because a company in the past has barely pulled ittself out of financial ruin does not mean it can do it again.
Apple really is in danger of going out of business soon, simply because of the severe economic down turn, and the fact that people just aren't buying computers as much anymore.
Apple's cash reserves are also getting pretty low, if I remember correctly.
This issue has some interesting implications. On one hand, I want to say VoIP shouldn't be regulated, as the FCC really should have no say in the internet, but were that to happen, telemarketers might find some interesting and obscure loophole allowing them to call us relentlessly, all because they'd be using VoIP phones routed through some system allowing them to contact non-VoIP phones (ala the past internet-phone company startups).
This really doesn't change the fact that if we just had a more simple and less convoluted tax system, we wouldn't even need to worry about complex deductions, brackets, taxable income, credits, etc.
I'm not advocating a flat tax. Hell, I'm not even sure what I'm advocating, but if we had a more simple tax code, we wouldn't need to spend that money on tax software every year.
This brings up an interesting point though. Would the makers of Turbo Tax make a move like the RIAA and try to sue the government if we moved to a simple tax system people didn't need software for?
After all, it would technically be destroying their business model.
Notice how easy it is to just change the channel when commercials come on? Now notice how few people actually change the channel when commercials come on.
People watch TV to be totally passive. They don't WANT to interact with the news channel. They just want to sit there and absorb information.
Maybe someone should explain to the scientists we have to worry about not having our probes CRASH ON LANDING before we can worry about actually terraforming a planet.

UF doesn't want you. Go home, smart kid.
Modelbob.com has a followup article already written which interviews the man responsible for filing the suit.
But if I had to wager a guess, I'd say Modelbob has some of the best content around.
that pudge is harboring some ill will from a previous failed attempt at a career in indie music.
go to This site. because it's dying soon.
While slightly off-topic, I'd like to call attention to my prom pictures located at this website.
They include some nice 69ing.
Haha! I got first post and you didn't. I bet you feel truly inferior to me now.

I fucked up the links.
Here is the corrected link to the teenage girl's journal.

So you're saying the site got Al Capowned?

Technically, we both lose.
Typo. I meant a quarter billion. Which equates to 4 years.

Can someone explain the economic reasoning to me on why we are bothering to spend money searching for life-ending asteroids when:
a) We can do nothing but panic if we find one. and
b) If the people searching for them find one, they won't even tell us?
