And we are spending how many billion in Iraq. The government simply paying everyone to stay at home wouldn't be a bad idea. Yea sure we might have to drastically increase taxes of the rich to pay for it. But even me a die hard libertarian could see the benefit of such a plan. A ration combined with a temporary suspension of all debt collection and interest could allow the average person to continue living on 10% of their normal take home. Yea it would "hurt" the economy, but not so much as everyone being dead and or starving.
Thing is its not even honest. Very few people work job that could be carried over the net, whatmore those that do wouldn't be pulling large files. Most likely they assumed that everyone would be using some sorts of video conferencing software a large percentage of the time. This honestly is unlikely.
Yea, a while back after Katrina or local city which runs mostly on natural gas told people to conserve and then they told people to switch their thermatates off when not at home. Consequence.. everyone gets home at 6:00 or so and turns on their airconditioning. This made matters worse as the city wasn't actually having a problem with total demand as much as peak demand...
Internet Archive seems to get their funding from 1. Donations (They seem to get a lot of federal donations/grats as well from places like the Library of Congress and the National Science Foundation) 2. They sell thier technology for backup arhival purposed, ie, you can pay them to have them do a more complete backup of your site on a more regular basis.
Gets me thinking, I wonder if Wikipedia could sell something, though I don't know what... My ideas. 1. A personalized page you own, (problem is corpertions and people who didn't want to have people talking bad about them would buy their name..) 2. Wikipedia software.. (Again problem is this software is already free).
But the thing is, if Microsoft says, We are going to implement Y system which has XZ restrcition capabilities. The content owners only have XZ as options. But MS choose to have as many restriction capabilities as possible.
Have you ever seen the Wii remote, its got a handy plug in the back of it for extensions, plug the wiimote into the back of the guitar and you seriously reduce the complexity of the guitar making it even cheaper to produce.
Did you even read the article you linked. It stated there have been some female higher officers, ie they get private quarters. But no females among the rank and file.
Well, with classic quantum computing ANY light or radio interference or ANY fields whatsoever can alter the results, they are extremely sensitive. The whole "looking" it is has always been slightly BS. "The looking at it" is striking it with a particle (ie shinning a light on it) in order to look at it. It's this that alters it, not the actual act of looking.
Ok, let me make the question more clear. Why would any Mac user need to run Vista from an virtual machine? I mean seriously... Newer Intel based backs can dual boot to Vista. And if you REALLY do want to run Vista from a VM, you better have the cash to buy a reaally expensive machine to handle that kinda power. And then you better be willing to pony up for Vista Ultimate. But most Mac VM users for the next few years will be more than happy running XP. I just can't imagine a senerio where Vista under VM would be needed for anyone buy a software developer. And yes you wouldn't be buying the Home version anyways.
Yep, I think in reality like TV networks, ultimately the money they make from advertising is a pretty good indicator of their popularity. Advertisers won't pay if somethings not popular, and web advertising being based upon per click is even a better measure. Now I know google made 1.03 Billion just last quarter, though I don't know the breakdown to how much is google advertising versus AdSence advertising (their ads on other pages). But I'd say they are doing quite well.
Umm. No duh. Its been speculated for a long time that general purpose quantum computing would be near impossible. Quantum computers will for a long time be co-processors that do special task that regular computers can't do. This one is built for quadratic equations. Which is exactly what Babbage's "computer" was initially built for. Sorry but we are still a long ways away but snake oil this is not..
Actually serious academic community bans the use of ANY encyclopedia. Sure you are encouraged to use them in your research, but you should note cite them for accuracy. Though I do take issue with some professors who don't want me to cite it at all, when I'm only citing them to indicate where I got an idea.. ie I don't like to plagurise.
Interesting link, anyways. Point is this isn't common practice. Also banks generally go by the most recent appraisal value of the house, adjusted then by local house price fluctuations. A picture of the house can show its a dump that isn't being taken care of. It could also show a lush garden,etc, which MAY imply a greater value. But any significant increase in value would cause a bank to send an appraiser. So these pictures would more be fore checking to make sure the places aren't dumps.
Because umm, people lie. Either way an outside picture can give you a rough estimate of the homes value. I wouldn't use it for buying or selling purposes. But something like a home equity loan might be done just based on a picture like this.
Yea people seem to have their stories mixed up. There was a temporary outage at one point. But the interesting stuff happened when the city decided to kick the maintainers out of their office and break the contract. The maintainers simply shut down the system (trapping cars) and said the city is no longer registered to operate the software:)
I don't know, did this schoolmaster knowingly "pirate" his software? It's not clear to me from the article. Gorbachev argues the nuance he didn't know he was committing a crime. That to me sounds like splitting semantic hairs.
Well, up until just a few years ago pirating was not a crime. You have to remember not so long ago they were a communist country where there was little concept of property and no concept of intellectual property.
They were wrong, and their parent publications were generally too stupid (or embarrassed) to archive their words on the Internet, so I don't have links for you... Oh God.. Don't remind me. I was trying this weekend to write a college paper on the history of the internet. I eventually gave up and picked another topic because the myraid of things I remember that were interesting and not just technical simply aren't recorded or have been removed. Some of the things I remember myself (got my first email account and was big into MUDS in the last 80s) simply can't be found anymore and I needed solid references not just what I remembered. Sad really.
Its esentially the problem with any large company. Any project coming out of a large company spends 90% of its time in committee and debates, and generally gets watered down to the few things those committees can agree on. Personally I disagree on the idea that two coders arn't as good as one. One coder rarely has the motivation as well as the insight to see clearly his way through a project (getting stuck on a problem and having another viewpoint is ALWAYS helpful). But there is definatly a deminishing return as project teams get larger.
Well, in Rome this is essentially what they did. They invented a high quality of concrete as well as other building technologies we take for granted today. Imagine the frustration of a builder in those days. Though I'm sure they were atleast appreciated..

Sure, they might charge you the same, but if it saves money in the manufacturing and development they will do it.

Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Beep, Beep, Beep... Banzai042's sarcasm detector is broken. Please return for repair immediately....
Article is from 2001 stating women were going to start training for it in the spring. I'm really curious how it worked out. Terribly I'd suspect.
Nothing against women, but mixing genders in such tight spaces is going to cause problems.
Did you even read the article you linked. It stated there have been some female higher officers, ie they get private quarters. But no females among the rank and file.
Yea, but they are generally on something other than weed at the time. Or going through withdrawals.
Yea, I have a principle that murder is bad.. But meat is tasty, so I eat meat. See life is full of compromises its not just the computer world.

No, because a VM image can looks like a computer. Meaning it wouldn't know if it needs to be activated or not.
Hmm I wonder what physically stops you from doing this with Ultimate... Probably nothing.
