The articles states that you would get a 3 inch square sticker on the right side of the windshield. Ok, lets say I win one for the month of July.... and now its August, I still hae the sticker. Now you could argue to put a date on it, but I defy a cop to spot the date on a 3 inch square while the car is traveling 65 mph. I suppose you could color code, it, but even that has its limits. I see this as a potential problem.
YOu have to be careful about off the record. For example, in the Connie Chung instance, the mom told Connie Chung she thought Hilary Clinton was a bitch, but there was a camera man there.... So later Connie Chung "asks" the camera man if he knows how the mom feels about Hilary Clinton. He was never told anything off the record, and so he can tell Connie Chung. There are other shady ways that this can happen as well. I for one would be interested in know what the NYT actual, not the one they feed you, off the record policy is.
SO I have to come into work on friday night for a DB conversion. This story comes a long, and I go and read the original, but when I go to read the original NYT article, they want me to pay. I tried the PARTNER=google trick, but no dice. This sucks.
You are not allowed to use aluminum bats in professional baseball because there's a long tradition of using wood bats.
That is not the only reason. Aluminum bats make the ball go further, for they have a higher performance factor. Kinda like corking a bat gives the ball a little extra jump on it. Letting pros use aluminum bats would just be lethal. In fact there are many softball bats that are outlawed cause you can hit the damn thing too hard. Do a Google for the Miken II, its the latest to be going on the banned list.....
Redundancyis the key our are missing here. If one cpu goes down ina cluster, the performance starts to suffer, but you are still up. If you one really beastly CPU goes down, you are down. That is the point o cluster. So while it may be "more" expensive, you are paying for the uptime.
Maybe its not the greatest thing ever (I don't know, never seen one in person), but for a brand new product that is not a ripoff I think its doing pretty well. How great was MacOs 1.0 compared to OSX? Not very good at all, but its a starting point, the initial idea is out there, and basically it works. Now its time to expand and make it better.
Everyone is always ranting on here about how nothing is innovative anymore, and that all of these laws stifle innovation, and when something that is actually innovative finally comes out, here come the naysayers. I guess I should expect this from/. Personnaly, I am excited, but as an AC will undoubtedly tell me soon, who cares what I think.
Right and wrong. Why do they cut costs at the last minute? They are trying to pull in every dollar that they can. If a route is not selling, it is cut back, or just cut out period. Now they do not expect to sell out every single flight, but they do have a target percentage they want to hit.
In general they will not lower the prices once they have reached this quota, as the rest is profit, but that percentage is pretty high. Also, they never ower the prices on first class, either some rich person will buy it, or they let people with iar miles upgrade - that keeps them happy.
So yes, one empty seat is worth the risk, hell even 2, and so on, but you have to draw the line somewhere, or you will have 5 people on your flight.
You are assuming that thye sell out every flight with a bigger plane, empty seats cost money. Also, they can make more frequent trips, which is nice for the traveler to have some choices, while still filling up the plane. Do you think the made up these statistics just for fun, or maybe they actually do know what they are talking about?
The whole state of Ohio does it, but I can not make claims on anyone else. I jsut know there are a few states, Hawaii, maybe Indiana - not sure tho - just stay on standard. I suppose it weird, I am just used to it.
yes an I live in America (Ohio) but I am in Eastern Daylight time now, and in the winter I am in EST. We shift jump ahead an hour in the spring and go back in the fall to take advantage of daylight hours later. Much of the country uses it, but not all, so there is a need to specify.
Based on combined desktop, laptop and server shipment data from industry analyst firm Mercury Research*, Intel has shipped over one billion x86 CPUs as of April 2003, roughly 25 years after the debut of the first 8086 microprocessor on June 8, 1978.
It was from the x86 family. Have a nice day, thanks for playing.

You could roll your own, ala Gentoo or LFS. Since you are bound to have many server or workstations that will need the same packages, you could have a machine(s) dedicated to creating the environment you want, and then distribute it from there. No need to compile on each machine. This will be streamlined, and potentially more secure. Of course this could be way more work than you are will to put in.
this is just a guess, but it makes sense to me. In a rural area, take the same amount of equipment (lines, etc...) and compare it to a denser region. The number of customers in the denser region wil be much higher, along with the possibility of more customers, meaning the overhead of the infrastructure can be spread out among more customers. Basically it costs them more to get you the service.

With that in mind, they should have a two-tiered system to minimize the economic impact... premium, standard and free.
Ummm how do you count to two?

I'm sorry Mog is taken. Please see the movie Spaceballs. 1/2 Man + 1/2 Dog = Mog. John Candy played the role.

Range: 7,200-8,000 nautical miles (13,334-14,816 km)
Ripped from the Boeing page. So it can handle long range as well, and it is more efficient than its predecessors.
Here is the link to the 7E7 site on boeing webpage. It has a few mock-ups so you can see what it looks like.
The whole state of Ohio does it, but I can not make claims on anyone else. I jsut know there are a few states, Hawaii, maybe Indiana - not sure tho - just stay on standard. I suppose it weird, I am just used to it.

the part of whether its Eastern Standard or Eastarn Daylight
So is it 8pm EST? or 8pm EDT?
hey if we want to nitpick, MAC is the correct spelling, it is simply the incorrect capitalization.
Maybe they are full of it, maybe not. The information was from Mercury Research. I am jsut staing what they released.
Probably not. Ripped from intel.com:

Taken from the intel news release on Intel.com
Propaganda? maybe, but not like you thought.
Well the original had 29,000 transistors, and the P4 has about 55 million... so to sum it up... a shitton (thats is a technical term for the number).

Look at that for an explanation on why stories are sometimes picked, sometimes not. Its not perfect, but thats the way they do it.

uhhhhh IBM has mainframe swith Linux right NOW!
