oi.... if u listen to Suze Orman talk about contributing to 401k and saving on Starbucks because it'll grow your nest egg, then $4 is wayyyy to much for a downloadable movie
Once your soul is sucked into using Singularity, even a force as strong as Linux cannot pull you out of it
but then gravity is the weakest of the 4 forces, and a singularity is the apex of gravity, so MS is essentially suggesting their OS is the strongest of the worst?
if u plan to drive it very few miles a year (say, 10K), and you wanna upgrade every 3/4 years, then don't bother buying a car. many times, with leasing, u'll spend just a bit more than buying, and a LOT less hassle than to sell the car.
judging from its 499 price, i don't think Apple knows how to position itself against Photoshop CS2, which is currently priced at CS2.
Let's see....Adobe has YEARS of experience and patents that made Photoshop what it is today. Apperture is a brand new product with a weak website description.
So is Aperture an overpriced Photoshop Elements, or a low-cost alternative to Photoshop?
Apple's website heavily touts its RAW capabilities. Maybe that's the one-point that it beats PS ?
Linux is primarily for servers, and the desktop market share is what? less than a couple percentage points?
not trying to be a troll here, but if you put yourself in Apple's shoes, is the R&D budget giving a good ROI by creating an iTunes Linux client?
On top of that, many Linux folks have their entire collection of OGG, which Apple won't bothering supporting either, so an iTunes for Linux that plays MP3 and AAC is simply not value-adding.
why can't all companiese simplify and streamline their system access by using single sign-on systems like Kerberos?
Then they can enforce frequent password change policies (45/90 days) without requiring the user to keep track of a dozen system accesses.
i used to work in a bank that has 2 passwords for the intranet, one for Novell/Windows, 1 for Oracle, 1 for DB2, and about 4 seperate Unix servers. gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Google *may* scan the books for the libraries, provided the results can only be searchable within the libraries' computers.
Putting the search results online for everyone to see for free....now that's iffy. i don't see Google being able to defend their case much beyond legalese-spewing jargons by Google-hired lawyers. Reminds me of how Google scans my emails for relevant ads.
so instead of buying harry potter, now i just read it on google.com, word-for-word?
why doesn't Google bother consulting legal counsel before doing anything?
100 songs worth of the standard length - 4 mins - of the standard iTunes Music Store bitrate- 128kpbs. We know that there are tons of tracks longer than 4 mins, mostly classical, but for most hip-hop/alternative/pop, 4 mins is the norm.
Just like in a CD, a normal consumer only knows "10 tracks" and not "328MB worth of PCM at 1200kbps which is sampled 44100 times a second of 16-bit resolution."
Similarly, the normal consumer wants to compare 500 songs to 1000 songs, and not "824 mins of music in 128kbps bit rate over 4.0gigabyte of NAND."
by keeping SSL 2.0, you maintain backward compatability for virtually zero-cost
the code-bloat related to SSL 2.0 must be tiny relative to other portions, such as Gecko
besides, Mozilla can always offload SSL 2.0 into a DLL module which doesn't need to be loaded unless a SSL 2.0 site is encountered, thus minimizing memory utilization
and if the SSL 2.0 module conflicts with a new feature, then they should decide whether it's worth the extra effort to keep SSL 2.0 around. but for now, the status quo will do.
Alternatives is good for balancing out the market to prevent monopolies or even oligopolies. Laziness to improve their forensic software is not an excuse to bash Firefox, Opera, or any other "non-standard" format.
Criminals understand law enforcement units have finite resources, and will use very cryptic methodologies will conceal their activity. Hiding text in JPEGs, encrypting email communications, multi-proxy redirect of pages using free XP zombies on the net...
Forensic analysts should train their users on methodologies of deciphering, and provide detailed documentation of all available tools, instead of giving training of every possible browsr out there. Same argument applies for CompSci students - the theory, not the apps.
And why anyone want to send jihad-invitations in clear text HTTP i have no idea =p

try free as in beer
For $8 I think I can accept a resolution about 30% less than DVD, but I can place onto a portable unit, or 720p quality but computer-playable only.

The Onion claims they publish "articles" but based on answers.com's definition, I'm not seeing it

oh so cheap....$3 each
compare that to DVD+R by Philips which I got a couple months ago for $7.5/25discs (no annoying rebate)
Remember PD? The cartridge disc of CD capacity that's suppose to kill off CD-E (before it's called CD-RW).
DVD-RAM revived the same spirit, and AGAIN, it got trouned by DVD+/-RW.
I'm happy to know at least the HD war wouldn't have remnants of PD/DVDRAM again.
if Google shifts the content from a book to a private database, that *may* be fine.
but Google is showing the results for everyone, and generating ad revenue in the process too.
essentially, google shifted the contents from the book pages to end user's brains. THAT'S a problem.
massive copyright infringement is the "right thing" nowadays?
just because i can pirate a song on BitTorrent doesn't mean WalMart should do the same

even more ironic if a hurricane that hits Georgia is called HURRICANE DELTA
> George Bush doesn't care about anonymous hurricanes.
not that he cares about named ones either
read : Brownie, Youre Doing a Heck of A Job
Katrina - only fly-by survey first time
Ophelia - didn't even go down there
Rita - maybe he would care if it uproots his crawford ranch
does that $40 include
.18 micron to .13 micron to .09 micron to .06 micron
1. the billions spend on each new wafer plant? (from 200 to 300)
and
2. the investment to upgrade processes :
and
3. the millions and billions spent on R&D to improve thermal properties and new transitor technologies to solve leaks (e.g. SOI)

a T42 that normally yields 4.5hrs of productivity will now be more like 3hrs...
good if u're using it as a desktop replacement
for road warriors, might be a bit heavy....
$9.50 is what you get at Loews 34
other places like 42nd St or Union Sq is easily 10.75
Doesn't anyone concern that Google now can archive your email, your IMs, your web search (thus your personal interests), and your phone calls?
