But I dont know. Something tells me that if there is a hardware problem(not a hardware design problem) then it is likly that there will be others on the same chip, due too some non uniform distribution of impure silicon. and it wouldnt be long before there are too many corrections to fit in the fpga. I think this would only be used to fix a design problem. Defects in silicon are spread randomly across the wafer, meaning that the fault(s) in each faulty chip are not the same. It would not be worth the effort to track down where the defect was and create new logic to avoid it just to fix one chip on the wafer.
To put it in engineering terms, if someone hires you to design an elaborate circuit and tells you it must be entirely new IP, and you turn in one that is indeed yours, but it was one you designed previously while you were employed at another company, what do you suppose could happen? Your name is on it. It isn't plagiarism. But, wow, could you be in trouble!
That's a totally different situation, since it was a work for hire. If you designed it at another company, you (probably) don't have rights to it anymore. If you turned in your own design that you had developed on your own time, there wouldn't be a problem.
To be fair, the article says the fossil was 2256 meters below the seabed, presumably meaning measured perpendicular to the seabed. I don't know at what angle plates move, but I doubt it's straight down. Even at an angle though, the figures could work out reasonably.
I guess if we're going to get specific about it, Wikiquote attributes it to Picasso (with no source) as:
"Los ordenadores son inútiles. Sólo pueden darte respuestas." ("Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.")
I have no idea if Picasso actually said this or what his exact words were, but this is probably closer, since they don't use the word "computador" in Spain. Unless you have a source for it. In any case, we are now quite a ways off-topic.
I think what the article was saying was that that obscure song never would have sold for 99 cents, but it would sell for 25 cents. Since there is no marginal cost per unit (only a fixed cost for the original creation), every sale is pure profit. Whether 25 cents is the appropriate price is the question that the article is trying to answer.
You are right in this case, but loose can be a verb. According to dictionary.com:
v. loosed, loosing, looses v. tr.
1. To let loose; release: loosed the dogs.
2. To make loose; undo: loosed his belt.
3. To cast loose; detach: hikers loosing their packs at camp.
4. To let fly; discharge: loosed an arrow.
5. To release pressure or obligation from; absolve: loosed her from the responsibility.
6. To make less strict; relax: a leader's strong authority that was loosed by easy times.
v. intr.
1. To become loose.
2. To discharge a missile; fire.
I use Linux on my desktop and I have a PowerBook. Which category does that put me in? The last time I checked, I couldn't run Internet Explorer... but someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Well, you could run IE on the PowerBook. I don't know why you would though.
Although I agree that general computing skills amongst teachers are probably too low, there are many disciplines in which computers are simply not necessary, especially at a high school level. You might be able to argue history and math, but how about phys ed, shop, and home ec? These teachers probably have computers at their desk, but honestly don't need to know how to use them well enough to teach with them.
The whole question is whether or not they are using public funds. The complaint quotes a statement that they will attempt to find private donors to cover the costs. If they have the donors, it is not a problem. Badnarik or anyone else could legally have an overtly partisan event at a public university as well, as long as he covers the costs.
I'm from a small town in Iowa, and I would say that the vast majority of people around here would find this sort of thing pretty funny, even if they were (kind of) the butt of the joke. Not only that, but the people who don't think it's funny wouldn't participate in the movie or the reality show to start with. The fact is, there's not a lot going on around here, and a little variety is a good thing. Of course, my opinion will probably change if they are malicious in their portrayal of the townsfolk. However, I doubt that will happen because I think a lot of people would have your reaction in that case, and it wouldn't be fun for the audience either.
I'm from Iowa and I don't think I've ever seen a windmill here that didn't have crops around it. You just have to space the windmills so that they are as far apart as your combine is wide. You may not get quite the density from that arrangement as you would otherwise, but if you can still use the land, it is well worth it. The actual footprint for the windmill is fairly small.
By the way, the image you reference is wheat harvesting. The method they are using is not typical for other crops, such as corn and soybeans. Generally there is only one combine in the field, and it would not be difficult to work around windmills.

It's no less secure than now, since Yahoo already has the usernames and passwords.
Not that their support is a bad indication, but I bet they funded a few companies that didn't pan out so well too.

Picasso was Spanish.
How is that true?

They're advertising 20 hours of battery life, versus 15 hours for the old ones, on the iPod homepage. I have no idea if the numbers are actually true.

Burgers are not steaks. I don't think I've ever had a steak at Applebees, but I expect that they will give it to you rare, or at least medium rare.
They land on autopilot, but not using GPS. They use radio telemetry.
Put your code in a file called MyModule.py. Then you can use it just like modules in the standard library:
import MyModule
MyModule.SomeFunction()
Or:
from MyModule import *
SomeFunction()

The point is that they are not satellite photos. They are taken from a plane. And most of them aren't that recent either.
I have heard Kerry speak. He does know English very well, but he does not have a lot of charisma. That will be Bush's advantage in the debates.
