But would you slaughter every kitten on earth in order to develop an eye liner that lasts all day? I think that is the kind of animal research he was talking about.
No, I just am not taking wikipedia as truth. It isn't a valid source for research and nowhere does it state what ARM architecture it uses. Qualcoms snapdragon page does not state that snapdragon is an ARM cpu. I have found a grand total of one blog article, in reference to an Asus snapdragon eePC that was only shown for one day that even mentions ARM in association with snapdragon, and that article is also filled with innuendo that microsoft forced Asus to withdraw the netbook.
If you have some real references, please do show them. I welcome it, I really do.
I see it stated by wikipedia "The Snapdragon application processor core is called Scorpion and is similar to the ARM Cortex-A8 core."
However, I also see that snapdragon is powering windows mobile phones. This means that it can not be an ARM chip as windows mobile will not run on ARM chips.
At the moment, available arm processors are still behind the atom in performance by a fairly large margin, and ahead in power consumption by a similar margin. The current top of the line arm chip is the cortex-a8 used in the beagle board and gumstix systems-on-a-chip. When dual core and quad core arm cortex-a9 processors become available, that might change.
We are currently in the "roll your own" stage of development for arm machines.
Buy a beagle board or a gumstix, attach it to an lcd, mini keyboard and battery, now install one of the handful of linux operating systems available for it and you have an arm netbook.
Navigating by sea is easy and cheap. By targeting the sea, you may be able to visit and study its entire shoreline. If you landed on the shore instead, you are limited to that area you land in.
-It is entirely American companies who have been pushing to have the DMCA exported, who are responsible for including it in that secretive ACTA treaty they're not allowed to tell us the details of, and it's American intellectual property stakeholders who are trying to push this on everyone else.
A lot of the blue prints no longer exist. Most of the original engineers have died off. There were a lot of issues that arose during design and construction that were largely undocumented. My stepfathers father as one of the designers of the saturn V's first stage.
no. Being a lesbian does not mean she cheated on her husband, even if she is still married. For example, this is slashdot, I believe there are a lot of heterosexual men here who have never even touched a woman.
I run with no script active, That catches most of the annoying ads. I usually ignore the rest unless its something very specific I like, for instance RPG ads served at enWorld. Ads on the internet don't really bother me.
The mortuary industry is very, very, very conservative. They take a dim view on anything that could tarnish their reputation. If it was any other industry, I would find this a ridiculous over reaction.
I know excel did some weird stuff. There was a way to produce a 0 byte excel file with information inside it in older versions. That was about a decade ago, can't really track down any references anymore.
tamperproof? Ha! Does this not invalidate the claim as most activation schemes can be bypassed by a sufficiently determined hacker (or anyone who can follow directions of said hacker)?
Ten times more energetic does not equal ten times worse. There is a 4 dimensional component to the effect of this kind of release. The eruption will take longer, rise higher and cover a wider area. All things considered you are probably looking at about 2 times more effect.
-In my mind I'm picturing all of every kind of plant dieing off.
Keep picturing that, it doesn't make it so. The yellow stone super-volcano blows every 650 000 years or so. North America is full plants and animals that have existed here for millions of years. North America will be hard hit, but not destroyed. The rest of the world will continue on as it has for a long time.
I am 6ft tall. My fiance is 4ft 9in and about half my weight. If I ate as little as she did, I would starve. If she ate as much as I did, she would pop. There is nothing misogynistic about it, women are on average smaller than men, they will eat less.
It won't end human civilization much less our species. Worst case scenario? Canada and the US are mostly killed off and then taken over by other nations. There are a few years of hardship for the rest of the world, but as a species we will recover. Being one of those Americans, I will personally find it devastating. but hell, I have always dreamed about living in a post apocalyptic wasteland, could be fun.
- Anyone seen footage from how the authorities handled Katrina? (Unedited footage I mean, not the sanitized stuff for TV).
I was unable to see the footage from Katrina at the time. I was busy being there and surviving it.
Local authorities and utility companies did a remarkably good job in dealing with the situation.
Thugs got gunned down in the street, these thugs were on a murder and rape spree, ambushing paramedics and firefights trying to rescue people. The US national guard was "allegedly" held at gunpoint by MY sheriff, those guardsmen attempted to steal the food and water the local sheriff had purchased and stored in anticipation of local needs and then place those resources in storage away from those who needed it, those guardsmen were "allegedly" forced to distribute those supplies to the local population. This sheriff was overwhelmingly and rightfully reelected.
The royal screwup was at the state and national level of response.
Does it mean that I am old because I look around every day and it feels like I am living in a surreal sci-fi story?
Reactionless drives, energy weapons, smart phones, robotic killing machines, genetically engineered super species? At this rate I wonder if I would be surprised when practical AI or faster than light travel becomes an option.

On further investigation, looks like WinMo can run on an arm. But I still can't find any official word that snapdragon is ARM.

Thats right. Nothing says progress like granting a extortionate monopoly on a drug that could save millions, if only they could afford it.

There is an app for that.

At my last job we used VersionOne... It does pretty much what you ask for, but managing it is a royal pain in the ass. Not very intuitive at all.

And humanity survived that pretty easily, didn't we?

The British literally did the kicking. The US simply covered its eyes and plugged its ears if someone tried to mention it.
