Gigacrete looks like a better material for building in my opinion. I'll just have bacteria in my yogurt for now.
Nice GigaCrete advert but the bacteria isn't presented as a replacement for concrete or GigaCrete. It's presented as a mechanism to repair existing concrete.
Or are you advocating we raze all existing concrete buildings and tear up all sidewalks?
"One of them stuck?" Of the top of my head, Samsung recently (2010) settled with them for something like $200M plus $100/year for 5 years for licensing, plus shares for a grand total of $900M.
Hate to break the news to you but Rambus isn't going to die. Unless someone like Samsung buys them.
The prices in the article/review ranged from $62 to around $130 to rip 100 CDs. You could burn our your CD player, crap on your keyboard, and get a case of beer and still come out on top if you did it yourself.
The only justifications for such services are to save time and effort. There will certainly be enough interest based on that alone. But to say it's worth $100 because you might blowout some POS CDROM drive is bad math.
So if you weren't "educated" in programming but merely spent 20+ years doing it, you wren't really a programmer?
I know a few over-50 programmers. One sells used cars (via the internet for a B&M dealer, getting raped with $30 per sale commission!). Another is retired but does tax prep during the tax season for extra cash. Yet another speculates in real estate.
I guess the answer is they do whatever they can to get by. They don't continue programming.
Counter Strike: Condition Zero has bots. It's a single player stand alone version of CS but there is the option to set up a multi-player game. Bots are a server option. So if you want to play with bots, just throw a bunch in a LAN game and play away.
They are good, but not spectacular.
Why they haven't added them to CS:Source I don't know. Maybe they want you to buy Condition Zero (or a HL2 package that includes it).
The problem here is that Valve's Steam "service" is a vital part of the product. It might not be necessary in theory, but they made it so in practice. So now every time you fire up HL2 or play CS:Source you're accessing their service. You're accessing your non-transferable account on steam. They are not obligated to provide this service to anyone not party to the original license (the first buyer).
If you buy it via Steam, you don't need a CD in the drive to play. Want the luxury of having the physical media? Then you have to *gasp* use that physical media when you play.
(yeah, I know, non-broadband users are screwed. Sorry, feel bad for you, but the majority of people complaining have broadband.)
The rubber coating is actually meant for those bastards that insist on throwing the controllers when they've had their ass kicked in multiplayer game. You know the kind, "What the hell? Fuck that, I pressed pass...I PRESSED PASS!!!!" *controller zings by plasma screen as I cringe*
"OH, COME ON!!!! I was JUMPING!!!!" *controller sends cat screeching into the other room*
With enough coating it will be more like, "Bullshit, I COUNTERED!!!" *controller is thrown to the floor, bounces up and hits the guy in the face*
And I imagine a few saved TV screens, scratched pieces of wood furniature, etc.
No reason? Anything? Underclocking PDAs and notebooks results in longer battery life. Most come with utilities (aka power management) that include underclocking as a power saver.
Less of use to the consumer, but still done, underclocking chips by manufacturers allow them to keep supplies of various lines of chips at demand levels.
There may be some stability gains. There are certainly power consumption decreases.
But most of all, someone might want to overclock...because they can.
I see they call you Gigahertz. You might want to try underclocking to see what kind of stability gains you get.
It doesn't seem like "ad companies" are directly involved. NBC pays $700+ million and as part of the contract want exclusive rights to US broadcast. Being dumbasses, they think they can apply this to online broadcasts so they write that into the contract.
Worldwide outlets that carry the Olympics then are bound in their contracts to honor the exclusivity of other contracts, including NBC's for the US. So they have to try to block access for US "viewers." Sure ad revenue is the reason for the exclusive contracts, but it's the networks and the IOC (or whoever sells the broadcast rights) that are trying to control internet access.
No progressive scan on either console? No 5.1 Dolby on the PS2?
Some people obviously do use consoles to play DVDs, but when a $50 DVD player excels in picture quality, sound quality, number of outputs, remote, region modding, etc, etc, the majority of people will pick up the DVD player. It's the price of one new console game. And you can easily find DVD players that are smaller than either console.
So...If I were a Google employee/ contractor/ friend of the CEO's secretary, etc and was handed 1000 shares back int he day...Years later, I run into some (really it is a minor thing) gambling trouble and used those shares as colleral to Guido and his burly boys... Now the IPO Gestapo wants them back. What is to do?
or alternately: I sell them back 999 and refuse to part with 1 share. again, what's to do? -- - Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum.
What's do do? Stick with Latin.
But I can tell you it's highly unlikely a mob bookie would take non-public (or public for that matter) shares as collateral. They know the gambling business as good as anyone, and that's what investing in stock is. Better odds, to be sure, but gambling nonetheless. They'll take solid assets, cash, or your legs.
To put it another way, would your broker take a betting slip for next week's Arlington Million as payment for stocks you want to buy today?
OK, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but how does this type of activity merit the use of the word wanton.
Well, if it's Senator Hatch trying to sell it to a clueless public and his even more clueless coleages, it's the perfect work. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he never actually said that. Calm down, it was satire.
And it's a hell of a lot easier to type in on cell phones.

He's smoking a wad of cash. If this is implemented, exploits in Windows and outlook that allow viruses to email copies of themselves will be making him money. "Let's um, hold off on that patch for a bit longer, shall we? Muwahahahahaha!!!"
It appears rackspace.com was the host, as someone has posted here already. Regardless, if it cost him $100,000 a year to host/maintain this site, the guy is an idiot.
"Hemorraging money every month?" If you're paying $8300 a month to host a county sherriff's site hemorrhaging grey matter is a bigger concern.
He tried to abuse his control over the site, the Sherriff's office abused their law enforcement power. Both sides acted fairly stupid.

What? Japan isn't a city, nor is South Korea. For a fair comparison you'd need to compare Tokyo or Seoul to NYC. Or all of the US to all of Japan.
Lies, damned lies, and comparing apples to oranges.

If a patient refuses to write "please" as they die, the death will be refused.
In extreme cases, the Lazarus Engine will be employed.
How could there be any liability issues?
That's what lawyers and accountants are paid for. What would you rather they do? QA Vista?
Wait...
Why? I like to collect wardriving data [wifimaps.com].
Wardriving implies contact with the ground. What kind of wifi networks do you find at 30,000 feet, praytell?

What about the guys who started with Atari's Adventure and Intellivision's Utopia?
Ahh, Adventure. Played that one all the time, I did. And I tied and onion to my pants, which was the fashion at the time...
