HFCS is 75% sweeter than sugar. Manufacturers can use less sweetener for the same amount of finished product to obtain the same flavor. Other attributes of HFCS over sugar (from http://food.oregonstate.edu/sugar/hfcs.html):
# retain moisture and/or prevent drying out # control crystallization # produce an osmotic pressure that is higher than for sucrose or medium invert sugar and thereby help control microbiological growth or help in penetration of cell membranes. # provide a ready yeast-fermentable substrate # blend easily with sweeteners, acids, and flavorings # provide a controllable substrate for browning and Maillard reaction. # impart a degree of sweetness that is essentially the same as in invert liquid sugar # high sweetness # low viscosity # reduced tendency toward characterization # costs less than liquid sucrose or corn syrup blends # retain moisture and/or prevent drying out
In short, in a mass-production environment, sugar is used where it needs to be used, and HFCS is used where it can be used. I imagine ADM donates liberally to political parties for other reasons. The biggest one that comes to mind is genetic patents.
I imagine they hired computer engineers for the parts that required computer engineers, and software engineers for the parts that required software engineers. The scientists would be the guys responsible for supplying requirements to the engineering group.
I imagine thetemperatures involved in the rover (both in flight and on the ground) are higher than allowed by IBM microdrives.
Then again, maybe your trolling. It's hard to tell.
They didn't run out of "disk space". They ran out of RAM. My guess is that when reading the "directory" structure of the flash, a data structure needed to be allocated in RAM. When the malloc for that structure failed, it counted as a hard failure and the system rebooted. Presumably, a malloc failing is a symptom of much larger problems in your system, problems that you won't be able to overcome, so the best thing is to wipe everything and start fresh.
It's very likely that the initial fault has been in the process of being repaired for quite some time. In the best of conditions, it can take a while to fix fiber. Now imagine trying to fix it on the high seas.
It doesn't require running (although you're not gonna win without running). My wife and I participated in the Austin challeng. We're nowhere near fit and walked pretty much the entire course, and still came in smack in the middle of the standings. We took about 3:15 to finish.
I'd recommend the Honda hybrid for 2003 and below, but I think the 2004+ Prius will be a better car. It's bigger than the 2002-2003 and (unlike all other current hybrids) the electric motor can drive the car, and does so normally. Additionally, the air conditioner compressor runs even without the gasoline engine.
In short, if I were buying a hybrid in the next couple months, I'd probably go with the Prius. If I were buying it right this moment, I'd go with the Civic.
They include the same art because it's much easier and cheaper to buy a picture off photodisc than it is to find actors, a photographer, and a site. It becomes especiialy easier when you consider that some businesses put out many brochures/flyers/ads every week. At my work, this as allowed us to producde several brochures, whereas we could have only afforded one otherwise.
So yeah, where'd that 2 come from? I'm amused that it actually worked, since you define a pointer, then assign to the dereference of it, which is god-only-knows where.
And void main is deprecated. Don't use it. gcc is nice enough to warn you.
Try the Lexmark Optra E312 PS. I bought one for $299 about 2 years ago. I think they run about $199 now. PS level 2 and pretty good toner life (there are two toner cartriges -- standard and long duty). I've been incredibly happy with it.
At my work, we've got two kernel revs: the one that works well for our service, and theone Oracle deems necessary.
The one used for non-Oracle machines performs FAR better than the Oracle kernel, and is a patched -ac kernel. The Oracle kernel is RHAS2.1, soon to be RH Enterprise. It routinely runs out of swap (on a 4G machine!), and has relatively bad NFS performance.
So, now you do know of a real Linux production server set that uses patched kernels. However, it's not a big admin nightmare, as we pick a stable patch set and use it for quite a while, 6 months or so now.
Note also that the rl driver just had some updates for the newer 8139C(i think) chipset. According to the driver writer, the new chipset is reall pretty good.
And of course as soon as you said that I remembered it. My previous statement shows just how well Congress has managed to make people think they are the real source of power.
dateTime uses the ISO-compliant format: 2003-05-23T15:42:00Z is the same as 2003-05-23T10:42:00-05:00
You have to import either format, and you can emit either format. Axis(at least in the beta releases), always emits Zulu format.
There are several broken implementations out there, and as such, each should be tested before real use. By using time_t, you lose any and all timezone information, similar to Axis.
Also, xsd:Date and xsd:Time are just restrictions of dateTime, so a good implementation of dateTime gets you three data types for the price of one. Woot!
I've had good experiences with M$ support, although never by phone. I've had three occurrances of needed support, and all three were handled quickly (within a day).
Ignoring the question of dialing a long-distance ISP...
Most VoIP equipment out there will do one of two things when confronted with a modem or fax call: drop to g.711 (no compression at all), or drop to a proprietary method of connecting. It will actually intercept the call, change it to data, then back to modem tones at the far end, compressing with a different algorithm. than for voice.
The article is not technical, and this is pure market speak. What they were adding was probably "comfort noise." Comfort noise is placed in the dead air where you aren't actually sending sound (to save bandwidth).
Another thing normally added is near-end echo. This is the sound of your own voice piped back at you with reduced volume, something that happens in the standard phone system naturally. People have become so used to hearing the echo that they think something is wrong if they don't get it. Because of this, you see a lot of people yelling at their cell phones.
Currency notes cost a LOT to make. The price of adding RFID chips to the paper used, would be VERY marginal.
Just some numbers from a 1996 report(based on dollars. IMO, the EU hasn't been out long enough to get serious counterfeiting going on): Foreign currency in distribution: $380 billion Counterfeit currency detected: $208.7 million
While that's not a lot percentage-wise, it's probably more than the cost would be to add RFIDs to the paper.
Some of them do. I was in a McD's a couple months ago where I could walk up to a touchscreen, order my "meal", pay with a credit card, then pick up the tray when a number was called. I never spoke to a person.
Which is probably best, at least at a fast food place.
Have you looks at the bluetooth spec? The bandwidth is 723.2/57.6 kbps asymmetric and 433.9 symmetric. While that's pretty damned fast for printing or a mouse or a keyboard, it's nowhere NEAR fast aneough for "transparent" access to the device.

Both SIP and XMPP are XML based.
There is an (apparently) open SIP implementation at www.vovida.org.

It was a lot of fun, too.

The square wave pattern produced by a UPS causes problems with the induction motors used in aquarium pumps, and shortens their life considerably.
And to add to the flamage:
When will they support a modern compiler? OCCI requires 2.95, for jebus' sake!

They've got a color laser at $500. I dunno what the brand was, but given today's printer market, it's probably a rebadged HP,Lexmark, or Epson.

Federal law always trumps state law. Essentially, it works like this:
1: If the constitution doesn't say anything, it's up to congress.
2: If congress doesn't say, it's up to the states.
States can augment federal law, but they can't contradict it (unless, I suppose, the law says they're allowed to).
