Maybe Apple will bring back the CUBE. Heck just take the mini and put an PCI-E slot on it so you can a better video card on it. Would help gamers and other that don't want (to pay for) a Pro.
A study from Europe says Europeans get it while people in the US don't? I loved the bit on dual licensing. I first heard about dual licensing when I started to hear about KDE. QT and MySQL both where dual licensed and one was from Europe and the other from Australia. Give me a freaking break.
Well the INS has an accelerometer and if it fails then you are in a world of hurt. I would assume that they are redundant. What I would suggest would be something like this. waitX secs check accelerometer. If still getting thrust wait a bit more. If wait time is getting too long stage anyway and hope for the best. There has to be an optimum time to stage and a last chance time to stage. But it is just an idea.
Just a suggestion. "As it turned out, a very small increase in the time between commanding main engine shutdown and stage separation would have been enough to save the mission."
If the residual thrust was the problem I would think that an accelerometer would act as a good safeguard. Heck I would thing that the INS could provide this input.
ummm... Okay as a development platform you are correct. But as an end user all I care about is what it can do now. Odds are I will get a new phone in two years anyway so what it can do in the future doesn't really matter to me right now.
I heard that it doesn't support A2DP so no bluetooth stereo headsets. And I can not find out if it has voice dialing. My old Samsung had great Voice dialing. My current Sanyo's is just okay and my wife's Razor really doesn't work all that well.
Zimbra looks nice right up until it comes time to pay for it. Zimbra mobile and blackberry support are only available for the pay versions. Outlook/Mapi sync and ISync are only available in the professional version. I don't mind paying and frankly the price is very good but I really don't like the idea of "Renting" software. You must pay by the seat and by the year for standard and Professional version. What A PAIN. Every time you hire somebody are you going to to have to go through a bunch of stuff to add a seat?
The price to be honest is great but I wonder about the hassle of adding a seat here and a seat there. I guess I am spoiled by FOSS when it comes to things like servers. What a pain for a small to medium sized company.
I like PDFCreator but the last time I checked it didn't work with Vista. Still a good program but I am sure that some students are stuck with a Vista machine. CutePDF works with Vista and XP.
CutePDF will work for any program that can print. Shouldn't all professors accept papers in at least one open format like PDF? Or even only accept documents in specific open formats? Just seems like the right way to do it. That way you don't require a student to buy any one specific program or use any specific OS.
You mean like the vast majority of people? I just don't think that most people are going to buy 52" TVs. DVDs are mass market. Sony wants Blu-Ray to be mass market. It doesn't matter if you can see the difference on a $1500 TV with a $300 player. It only matters if you can see it on a $600 TV. The vast majority of people are just not boing to spend more than a thousand dollars on a TV any more.
Okay I can tell the difference between HD and Standard TV. If you can't you need your eyes checked. Now the difference between 720p and 1080p that is a lot harder to tell. But your right about DVDs. A standard def DVD looks GREAT on my HDTV. I also have an HDDVD player I got cheap. HD movies look nice but they are not that much better. DVDs are cheap, common, and look great on an HDTV with even a cheap $50 upscaling player.
I took JROTC before the C64 hit the market. So it was a LONG time ago. So yeah I forgot some of the drill rules. I have not had to use them much since then.
Actually that is fair statment. Soldiers of free country march not out of joy but out of duty. They understand that they are sacrificing so others can be protected. They take pride is service and not out of the shear glory of military service.
I learned a lot from my time in the AFJROTC. It has served me well all these years. Yea it is a real shame that so many people are so sure and secure in their ignorance.
"So are you trying to say that people shouldn't drink, have sex, or do anything else that others would consider inappropriate so as to ensure such actions could never be photographed and posted online?"
Well since drinking under age is illegal. Yes I think one should not break laws. As to having sex. Some things are appropriate in private but not on public. So yes taking private things and making public and photographing them is also a bad plan. It is totally appropriate for my wife and I to have sex. I would be inappropriate for us to post pictures of in on the Internet.
And YES you should not do things that are inappropriate! That is sort of a huge duhh. Now there is somethings that I do that some people on Slashdot do find inappropriate and I do make them public. I go to church. That is important enough to me that I don't care if others don't like it.
People have EVERY RIGHT to judge you on the choices you make. That is in fact the only thing they have a right to judge you on. And being willing to stand up for things that important to you but may be unpopular is bravery. Doing things that you know are foolish, illegal, or show a clear lack of judgment and not expecting people to judge you for them is just DUMB.
Actually I took ROTC in high school. They covered illegal orders and UCMJ. They would go as far as to give you simple "illegal" order like calling at ease from a parade rest. The correct response was not to do it without question but to respond with "As you where sir!" This was just High School ROTC and we covered things like war crimes and how saying "I was just following orders" is not an excuse.
Much larger then 75 but the real issue is that the sample was tainted. They picked people that they felt had strong political leanings. To do the test correctly they would have to randomly test people to see how easly they are startled and then test the peoples political leanings. Not only that but the ones that test for how easy they are startled would have to not share the results of the ones evaluating the political leanings.
And for sample size Much greater than 75 I could research it more but my wife has a degree in political science and knows a lot about conducting proper polls. She is also a hard core Dem. She read the methodology and thought it laughable. She suggested that for any proper result a random sample of at least two orders of magnitude would be needed.
I posted the same thing. I feel this is an interesting study in bias. I have a feeling that almost nobody is "rational" enough to question something that boosts their ego or that demeans those the see as their enemy. Just see how few people will point out the lack of a random sample or the tiny sample size.
I mean why would you question something that says that people disagree with you out of fear and not out of logic? It is a great result if you are on the good side of it.
"They're not useless, they're just not reliable." What??? Umm an unreliable result in science is the definition of useless.
Suppose the result disagreed with your world view. Suppose that this study found that people that played violent video games on average had a lower IQ than those that did not? And supposed they used the exact same selection process and sample size? Would you think that the results where important enough to warrant a lager study? The hardest thing to question is something that reinforces your world view or even better your ego.

Yep that is why the same car with the same engine gets better mileage in the EU than the US. Often they really don't.
Okay folks lets get it straight. The US isn't the only one that still doesn't use the metric system for everything.

Here is a link to a Japanese car company selling a car in the UK.
They give the fuel economy in MPG as well as KM per liter.
Drives me crazy when I get UK motor cycle mag. The give the fuel economy in MPG and the fuel tank size in Liters!
Okay. I am from the US.
Absolute zero is 0K!
Stupid submitter and editor.
I thought that MySQL was developed in Australia. I guess you are right. Looks like it was Sweden.
Okay all European.
A study from Europe says Europeans get it while people in the US don't?
I loved the bit on dual licensing. I first heard about dual licensing when I started to hear about KDE. QT and MySQL both where dual licensed and one was from Europe and the other from Australia.
Give me a freaking break.

But I don't think that voice dialing is a bell or whistle. It is a basic function.
Just a suggestion.
