A parking computer fucking up and taking off a bumper is going to cost a manufacturer a lot less in lawsuits than a driving computer taking off someone's head at 75MPH.
I'm burning a DVD at 8x in the background (with Nero), have a divx-encoded movie playing on my second monitor (with WMP), and I have a few Firefox windows open on top of that. 2.4GHz P4. No slowdown involved. Maybe your coworker's apps just suck.
Well, most of them probably have rather specialized jobs, and in the military world, you don't do your job until you can prove you can do it perfectly - Some jobs have 6 months of training (or more) on top of basic training. So factor that cost in - not just their pay, but the pay of the soldiers who can't actually do their jobs because they are training others every day.
The author does not say that "Well they said it was funny, but they were really scared."
Your amygdala is part of your limbic system. The most simple of your emotions come from here: FEar (fight or flight) and pleasure are all that I can think of. What ISN'T mentioned is if the higher-order brain areas are also activated - but I'd hypothesize that they are, since most people percieve it as funny. Your amygdala is still going to be activated - Just take a look at those fMRI photos, and look how small it is. Once your conscious, higher level brain areas, which are already attending to the commercial get the message from the amygdala that "Holy shit dude, THAT GUY JUST GOT CRUSHED BY A FUCKING HUGE THING!" you know that it's on a television, cavemen no longer exist, and neither do dinosaurs... so it's comical, not a threat.
If that's not enough, I'd be willing to bet that even if YOU have decided that drugs are very very bad and should never be used, your limbic system is going to be telling you otherwise if you ever so much as tried something.
That I realize. I was simply trying to get him to clarify how this was any less secure than any other OS, especially Linux... If it's unencrypted, boot single user, mount -rw/, and edit/etc/passwd.
Google and others can't be faulted for following other nation's laws, especially when they do physical business there.
Even with Internet censoring, the government has already opened the floodgates. People have had work arounds for the firewall for an extremely long time. It doesn't take a majority to start a revolution - just one pissed off, really loud minority with the right message.
I did floor work for about a year and a half before college.
The only time my company EVER waxed something to the floor was because we warned the company/store 48 hours in advance that "We aren't a moving company, only leave permanent fixtures on the floor." because we were ALWAYS given a time limit that never, EVER fit the right cure time.. only with tornado fans.
Inevitably, managers always ignored us. We would move the most damaging things (cardboard, wood, etc)... but in order to get the wax off, you literally have to flood it with extremely noxious, extremely corrosive stripping fluid. I swear, I've lost brain cells to stripping wax in small rooms.
One time, we were given 3 days to strip a 75,000 square foot store. They hadn't actually wanted to pay for a flooring contractor for 7 years, so the wax was literally half an inch thick. For weeks afterwords, we were removing wax from under shelves because we had to shovel it off.
So you can't really blame the cleaners, blame your boss - You can't hurry good work.
Government only rules when the people ALLOW them to rule.
IF a big enough majority doesn't want to be oppressed, they wont be. Until then, it's not our business, especially not the business of a search company.
Earlier this week, I read an article in the paper about Iran whining about some cartoon that picked on Muslims. But that wasn't the important part.
The important part of the article was the large photo of protestors, with their signs, but 5 of them in the front had one in English:
"OUR RELIGION DOES NOT ALLOW UNCONDITIONAL FREEDOM OF SPEECH. PLEASE RESPECT THAT."
As Americans, we VALUE the rights that we have. HOWEVER, we must also respect other societies' views, even if they are detrimental to human rights. If we expect to do business in another country, we MUST follow their laws. If the people of the oppressive country do not like this, then THEY THEMSELVES MUST REMEMDY IT.
We have the right to inform. Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the others should simply say "Due to your government's regulations, this search result has been censored." We DO NOT, however, have the right to violate that government's laws and expect to continue to do business there. Google is not an army, it is a business.
The only reason I presented the land area figure was just to demonstrate the/much larger size/ of the US. No matter what, we'll always have to have to drag three times as much cable to wire ourselves up than India, for example.
I didn't research my point any further than searching Google for the land area of the US and India.
Oh, I guess all the access roads they built and rural telephony systems they built - and lets not forget the FUCKING TRANSISTOR... were nothing compared to gMail, man... without gMail... damn.
Overall, teens who experienced puberty early -- who perceived themselves as looking older than most of their peers -- had a much greater risk of being involved in a physical fight, having a knife or gun pulled on them, being jumped or otherwise being victimized than did other teens, Piquero and Haynie report. This was particularly true for boys, they write in this month's Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency.
My advantage certainly wasn't gone... the last time (and the time they stopped, by the way) I took a reading test was 8th grade, and the results came back "13+"
College level. Now if you read before Kindergarten and then just STOP, maybe you'll lose it. But I doubt any kid that was reading at 3 would let that gift go.

Ah yes, but with only two samples, how do we know the high one isn't average, and the retail one just happens to be below the line?
We'll see it when it's required for the next generation of RIAA/MPAA distribution formats, that's when!
So this program will help keep me healthy...
Until I get really sick, and then Dell (since they have all my records) can fire my ass before I get too expensive! Schweet!!

Huh?

Adds up pretty quick!
Nah, they have their priorities right in order.
Piracy? Who cares? They don't sell many of the games!
Rather fast game console turned general purpose parralel computer for $400? Not good.
Spent fuel is still a problem because chances are, that spent fuel pool wont be there in20,000 years.
They do have a To Do list... on Google Desktop

Couldn't I just do that with a UNIX operating system too?
Maybe i forgot, but don't we have a right to protection against ex post facto laws?
Oh, wait, I forgot where I am.

I think you're confused.
Glass IS an insulator.... but entirely different than asbestos. It is used to REPLACE asbestos.

India: 3,287,590 sq km.

See the problem?
