I didn't see/. in the list, so let's count it and bring the total to five! Absent the/.ing I am sure that her true fans would look things up on her website. I would guess that Salon and Slate were not aware that she had written an article for each of them, and either would reject it if it knew of the other, but that is merely a guess.
Ursula has lived long enough to know that a contract is a contract and any pretty side promises are useless. To me, the point is: she was happy to take their money. She is also free to whine about the end product, but readers should note that she is whining all the way to the bank.
it depends on the type of ram. Also there are different ammounts of power involved for different operations. For instance SRAM takes power to flip a bit but very little if any power to keep it that way. DRAM doesn't takes some power to flip but also some power to maintain the state of a bit. Flash takes power to rewrite a bit and then it stays static until rewritten again. The disadvantages that flash has are that it is very slow compared to the others and it can only be rewritten a limited number of times before failing. These limits are always improving though. In any case DRAM is cheaper and faster, while not consuming an enourmous amount of energy. Certainly much less than constantly running a hard drive.
No, the RAM is for the cache, so that the hard drive doesn't have to be spinning the whole time. You store a gig in ram, then write to the HD. If you turn it off, then it writes to the HD before shutdown. I am just saying that RAM makes more sense for the cache instead of flash, and that you should keep the HD.
Why limit it to flash memory? It could be standard ram, which is generally cheaper than flash anyhow and is plenty fast. It makes no sense to think only in terms of flash.
My junior year at college the power went out for half the campus just before finals and stayed out for a week. It turned out that a mouse had gotten into a conduit in the power generation facility and started chewing. Soon it caused a short and then no more mouse and no more wires.
Have you seen a VC agreement recently? If you walk away early you get either nothing or next to nothing. You don't have a share to start off with, you have to earn it. Yes, it sucks.
It might be considered an advantage as a services company to not sell certain types of hardware, especially if they are low margin. Customers will be more willing to bring you in if they know that you aren't going to be pushing your brand of PCs on them.
Helps if you have a steel frame. Also, step off the bike and lay it down on the road above the sensor. It is an old trick that works, but it is still annoying. You would think that web cams could do the job for less.
This is actually done in some parts of the world. Cowpies are collected and placed in a sealed contained that gives off gas which is then used for cooking and heating.
I went to a school that is considered to be the best or second best in the country for CS. I think it was worth it. I went all four years. My brother transferred and got in as well. Neither of us would be working where we are if we had gotten our degress at a state school.
That said, the timing of your question suggests to me that you haven't thought things through. Apply first. Odds are that you won't get in to a top five program even if you are qualified. Transfer acceptance rates are so low that getting in is a crapshoot.
Your best bet is to finish strong at Chico State or whatever it is and then apply for a strong graduate program. You have a much better chance of getting in than you do by transferring and you won't get stuck with massive loans for a half-baked undergrad experience.
May I suggest an "Ask Slashdot" for Ken? As a programmer I would guess that he is aware of the site and he has done something similar elsewhere. Of course that was an LDS specific forum, so it is probably not as interesting to/.ers.

So there are articles on her website, Slate, Salon, and now The Agony. She has spammed half the internet with her rant.
I wonder what she got paid for the movie rights and if she signed away all creative control...

Note that the HQ of Lenovo will now be in New York. It seems that for the time being Thinkpads will continue to be designed in the USA.

No doubt. This is the most obvious plant on the front page in some time.

How much will it hurt 900 years from now? I don't even want to know.
Thanks for confirming that! It is rare to find such honesty on /.
in the same manner that a sense of humour is not part of you, right?
no doubt! I don't need a Tivo for now, but with enough loose lips I will!

did you try to read that blog entry? It looks like the blogger could be the author of the Chewbacca defense, his writing is so nonsensical.
Did you read the page that I linked to?
