Handwriting is more of low false negative situation. A good expert can say something was defininatly written by a different person, but rarly can say this was defininatly written by the same person.
Vista is designed to be bootable from flash memory. Significant changes to the bootcode of XP would be nessesary for the instant on features. The other features could possibly be incorperated with drivers.
Umm. You realize previous poster was joking right?//I knew he was joking, yet still couldn't resist trying the URL... No.. I'm not obsessive compulsive.. Never..:)
Its possible that the dual drives was needed for performance reasons as they could have put a single 500GB drive in their cheaper than dual 250GB drives. Either way yep completly silly, with the PS3 coming out soon and the blue-ray computer recorders on the horizon I don't see many buying this thing anytime soon. Hell first generation home DVD recorders were only $1500.
Less? You have a single harddrive over 500GB?.... *checks internet* shit they are selling 750GB drives now.. when did this happen.. I'm so behind the curve...:(
He will be expected to pay court fees. Essentially as long as you accept the fact that if you are going to lose you will have to may court fees, our system allows you to sue anyone for any reason whatsoever. I could sue you for telling me the sky was blue. I judge would have to take me seriously then quickly dismiss the suit and make me pay court fees and your cost for wasting your time. Thats just how the system works.
Google isn't helping me here. But from my understanding after the last San Franciso major earthquake that some nuclear vesseles were docked and hooked up to supply something like a fourth of the cities power.

Of course, but technical books have indexes as well. Either way this thing is designed as a tradeoff. More like paper, less like a computer.
As other poster stated they will probably be melted for scrap. And if you think about it, these mailboxes have been around for sometime I'm sure they already have a system in place for scraping the old rusted ones. The backlog could be large though:)
While this particular machine isn't exciting, what is exciting is the new e-ink technology. From everything I've read its very very good. Being able to write on it will have to come with later editions, though I wouldn't ever expect much in the way of interactivity, e-ink isn't intended for moving images or even for touchscreen. The ability to write on it would have to come from a sensor behind the e-ink screen and some radio emiting pen. Touch sensativity never. Now I could imagine something like this with a second smaller LCD screen on the left side of the page that is turned off most of the time for power saving.

If you can read 9000 pages in one sitting you've got something sick and wrong. Though I could imagine the issue if you need to quickly flip through that many pages. One could hope that they might consider some type of preview feature where you could fit 4 smaller preview pages on a single normal page allowing you to flip quickly through the book.
He's getting it from some study done a while back that shows that the death rate in Iraq practically doubled after our invasion meaning that an extra 100,000-200,000 people are dying extra per year.
This of course is based upon reported mortality rates pre-war which could have been understated by Saddam.
Yea, I never understood why they don't up the price themselves on launch day instead of letting people resell them. I'm guessing its a combination of it would screw up with Advertising, cause a PR nightmare, and economically be not worth it for a company interested in selling millions of consoles. Making a few extra bucks off the first few thousand is just silly.
That wasn't a hardware problem really. Either way thats something that was newly designed and obviously we not tested for the beating they got in real life. Thats why I'm saying expect new versions of the Wiimote to come out. The physical technology they produce is generally pretty sound unless you plan on smacking your console itself around.
So far Nintendo has had a good record on this account. Either way the Wii is promised to have an updatable operating system. And there are few drastically new things on the Wii, I would estimate at worse you might have to update that as changes to their OS are rumored to be fairly new, possibly unstable. Otherwise one might want to wait a while on picking up extra controllers and there is a good chance the first version of the Wiimotes will have some problems.
If you really read the article its actually making the argument against the typical human maintainable datacenter. Where you have rows and rows of easily access servers taking up valuable floor space. To the idea that the datacenter should be stuck in the basement and be mostly automated machine with little human interaction. Its true and stupid at the same time. Its a nice theoretical future of completely remote access to the datacenter that rarely needs repairs. But the truth isn't quite so nice.
Just saying the question is how big and how small. Could one realistically interpret the use of a sounds clip over a homemade video. Personally I'd say yes as it is not infringing upon the profit capability of the sound clip itself. (Unless of course their profit model is built around people paying for the rights to use it in video clips).:)
The issue is does it stop you from giving away in limited forms other peoples production, and what is the definition of limited. Many places allow you to give full copies of songs to friends in the form of compilation tapes, generally these were compensated in the form of tape/audio cd tax. Everywhere you are allowed to take small samples and use it in a nonprofit work. The question is how small. And how big of a distribution is allowed.
In the past no. A surprising number of content industries have just jumped on the YouTube bandwagon. This is for music videos only. But generally YouTube is for short clips anyways. Long clips have to be cut into segments and or often quickly pulled. So an algorithms that detects segment postings and flags them for screening would take care of 90% of full length content.
Wright never claimed such things this guy claims though. I'm doubting things like industrial global warming will not be simulated to the degree this guy implies. He is setting the bar higher than Wright or any Spore advertising has attempted.
I used to some work for a computer repair company called fly-by-night technologies. It was totally intentional. They eventually had to change it to something not quite so obvious. I forget what it was, something like StarAir Tech. I forget..
There is also an interesting breakthrough that hasn't made much news UPS (which has a lot of stake in the cost of driving around) has invested in a new technology. Hydrolic hybrids http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/06/epa_and_pa rtner.html No battery needed. They are implementing this as a test right now. But from another article I read the technology is applicable in street cars as well.

That depends upon if nudity is involved in this budget..
Oh gameplay enjoyment... that kind of enjoyment.. I get you..
