Yea these kits sucked as they didn't expect you to use any problem solving skills. Lucikly I was curious enough to take the existing plans and attempt to slowly modify them to figure out what each and every part did. I still never quite figured out the chip that was provided, though I had no understanding of gate logic at my time, thats probably something that would have helped!:)
He didn't say they were buying laptops. He said "you can use financial aid to pay for it". This means that when computing your financial aid total needs a laptop is calculated into this, all calculations are then done as normal. Generally not much extra is awarded for this need, BUT if your school requires it you can always get a student loan for the total cost of the laptop (software needed for your major included) in addition to normal student loan needs. I unfortunatly was going to school as a University employee and while my tuition was paid for I was strickly forbidden from applying for any additional financial aid, loans or whatever. But for most people this covers them.
Well from what I've been reading china is slowly coming around to the success of capitalism (aka they know they need to leave Hong Kong alone, and apparently they have a test capitalism city forgot what its called.) Strangly they believe they can loosen the reins on the economy while keeping tight social controls. One can only wonder if the capitalistic regions will rebel first because of their knowledge of what is truly happening, or will the poor regions rebel first simply out of desperation.
I don't know cuba has been keeping it up pretty well. It probably won't survive much past castros death and eventually capitalism would breach it anyways, but Castro has been able to tiptoe on that delicate balance between tyranny and rebellion.
What I would really love to see would be a site that aggregates many job sites as well as local sites. If I'm doing a job hunt here in tallahassee I have to look on FSUs website (many jobs available technically they are supposed to post in the local paper as well but not for very long) local classifies, then national websites.
Ok chemical energy is probably the wrong word for it I guess, its molecular potential energy, just there is a lot of energy in a diamond from being crushed (not just the raw carbon energy). Extracting that energy... Maybe ET will provide the answer!
Actually a permanent magnet does have chemical energy, and is releasing its energy through magnetic fields but at a very slow rate (ie wasted energy from the electrical resistance of air). Extracting this energy would require something vastly different that just altering the flux flow. Probably would require chemical extraction.
Read it again. The adverb is substantially. So the question is "How much are they increasing efficiency?" The answer is "Substatially." The then elaborate that total effiency is over 100%. Technically I'd agree with you though, if the word Barrier wasn't there, it implies and increase over a specific known barrier, thus is the 100% efficiency barrier.
Let say I was to say
"This will increase your runnning speed substatially, over 4 minutes in a mile"
You could assume to you would be cutting 4 minutes from your mile.
If I were to say
"This will increase your runnning speed substatially, over the 4 minute mile barrier"
Shall I provide you a list of the hundreds (possibly thousands) of $1000 Xbox360s that got sold on ebay. Realistically if MS was smart they would have started their system out at $1000 and dropped the price a month later. Anyone willing to pay $1000 to have it first on ebay would pay that as well at retail. Hopefully sony will get the price down real fast so the average joe can afford it within a few months.

Well PopSci also had an article about it (the print version, it should be on the web version in a few days). Apparently they are putting it into helmets it allows for a flexable beanie type hat to become a hardhat when nessesary. According to the article it wouldn't be good enough for a motocycle helmet but would be perfect for speeds skating for example.
Yes. THE HDCP protocol is what this is based upon HDCP is an encrypted HDTV signal that the final end display will only decrypt. Of course it will be broken eventually, but microsoft has declared that all they will make this technology available in Vista and use it for all Media player DRMd video content. Of course will the recent dicovery that many "HDCP" video cards do not actually support HDCP this may have to be revised. HDCP does allow for playback of low quality analog as well though, so it won't be the complete black screen mentioned, though that depends upon the video producers and if they wish to allow low quality unDRM content..
Also don't look desperate and don't be afraid to tell them no and walk. Is it really worth your suffering another job that isn't paying you what you think you are worth. If they really want you they will offer more, or they will find someone else whos willing to take the lower pay.
Sadly the "keep your government out of my bedroom" party belives that any federal regulation is good regulation unless it affects a sexual act and especially if it hinders a company or corperation that they don't like. While the "personal responsibility" party has slowly become the "personal responsibility (unless your committing moral sin)" party.
And what I meant was he has to be kidding if he seriously expects a spread sheet to do that. Yes possibly a very specialized app but not one included with every office suite.
Personally, I was disappointed when I found that spreadsheets only ran the formulas forward so that if I typed in A1=2*B2 it wouldn't work out B2 from A1. Seems almost as useless as formattable grid to me.
Yes, but your ignoring the obvious by not including the Bibical Cube! (some borg cube like structure described in revelations Ch21 1379 miles (12,000 stadia to be exact wtf that is) long wide and tall)
Well hopfully they money won't be tied to a specific curriculum. Most teachers of course will teach the standard, P2P is bad mkay curriculum though. Possibly some group might then sue the schools for teaching inacurate information, but one can only hope.

Thats why we need tiered pricing at the theator. I'd be willing to pay 8 bucks to see a top rated new films, and possibly 3 bucks to see BloodRyne. Yes we have dollar theaters, but it would be nice to see the top of the line theators do such a thing as well so that these low budget movies can get the theator reception they deserve. Its like charging 8 bucks for a box of girl scout cookies then complaining that they are low budget cookies that shouldn't have been made.
You obviously havn't seen the large hardcover bound "Graphic Novels". Seems weird to call them anything but. Though for smaller ones it would be like calling my 3 page shortstory a Novel, just not true. They probably would get away with a secondary term for them, but they havn't really tried.

Lucky, I live in Florida so the bills go to cooling, though Winter heating is expensive cause gas isn't an option everyone.

Unsold? quick ebay search reveals an xbox360 being sold once every minute or so for $450-$500 most with 20-30 bids each.
