We don't know that DNA has all the information at all.
Does a new-born baby have a functioning brain capable of the same feats as a mature brain? No. It just needs to be bathed in a bath of baby-juice for 18-99 years or so to be able to grow, change and develop.
The DNA describes some initial setup, but there is a lot of 'nurture' that has to occur, too, wouldn't you agree? Do you see the biochemical connection yet?
Not like anyone will notice their JRE installs growing from 700mb in size to 1000mb in size.
700mb? You mean 700 MB?
You may have a point, but I believe you are off by nearly an order of magnitude if you meant mega bytes; the JRE is about 70 MB and the JDK is 'only' 160 MB.
So, not exactly small, but nowhere near the 1 GB you were implying...
The FBR states that this is a file attribute only present under Windows, which seems like an odd choice by the Eclipse developers:
"An engineering side note: The "Java" property values for java.vendor and java.vm.vendor were never changed in the jdk6 releases and will remain "Sun Microsystems, Inc.". It was understood that changing the vendor property values could impact applications and we purposely did not disturb these vendor properties. The Windows specific exe/dll file "COMPANY" value is what is at issue here, not the Java properties. It came as a surprise to us that anyone would be inspecting or depending on the value of this very platform specific field. Regardless, we will restore the COMPANY field in the jdk6 releases. Note that the jdk7 releases will eventually be changing to Oracle, including the java.vendor and java.vm.vendor properties. Posted Date : 2010-07-22 15:50:53.0"
I'm honestly with the GP. I had all the same info for the police here (LogMeIn FTW!), and the cops never did dick. Having my MBP I just got 2 weeks back paid for however sure softens the blow to personal security about someone entering my home when I wasn't here (security film & cameras help too now!).
There is a huge investment in the 'existing' major sports in the US, all the way from the sports organizations themselves down to the commentators and pundits on the radio and tv.
These people have no interest in seeing another sport become popular, because then their services will not be needed; they are no experts in the new sport.
So, why should they embrace the sport or encourage anyone to like a 'new' sport, particularly one that is clearly popular in the rest of the world, and is not amenable to selling to their customers - the advertisers? It is VERY threatening to them all.
If the respected sports 'experts' don't 'like' the sport, then the rest of the public is inclined to follow suit; they've had the existing drivel rammed down their throat as 'The American Way', so why change 'back' to Old World habits? They know how to enjoy the SuperBowl - don't get overly distracted with the game, they marvel over the new ads and the half-time show, they have a four-hour party, then everyone goes home. Enjoyment is not predicated upon a good game, just good ads, good company and plenty of bathroom breaks...
It's more a strategy to remove 16-bit and other legacy restrictions from the firmware interface:
"The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. EFI is a much larger, more complex,[1][2]:4 replacement for the older BIOS firmware interface present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers."
The other favourite is to carefully capture the dirty water in a bucket when disconnecting the drain, stand up, then think: 'where can I lose this? I know! Down the drain...' Wet feet.
I remember seeing a setup with the paper-tape with a large bin to catch the paper set up several feet away from the device; upon being read, the paper would fly across the computer room into the basket (so I was told; I never saw it in action), which is what caught my imagination, I suppose.
"A 'boot' process could be initiated from the paper tape reader which forced a nine word read (9x48 bits or 72 6-bit characters) into main store addresses zero through eight. On termination the program counter was set to zero and the instruction fetch sequence executed. The boot program could then call longer routines."

I think the majority of right-thinking people are sick and tired of being told that the majority of right-thinking people are sick and tired.
I certainly am not. And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.
In my opinion its not much of an effort to simply burn the driver directory on to a cd or dvd, Its really not THAT BIG a deal.
Well, my notebook has no CD or DVD drive, so it's a big deal for me...
I think he made it up.
Bits is the preferred method of counting storage...
I haven't seen anyone else describe storage used in millions of bits, so maybe it's just your preferred method?
It certainly is unambiguous, though, once you've confirmed your units.

Also, this is a geek website. We tend to like to correct. .
There, corrected.

Wow. Translation please?

Three!
I'll come in again.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanadian?

"Informative"? I believe this is reactionary hyperbole.
I don't believe that the budget can be balanced by reducing State workers' benefits.
"Benefits will be continue reduced until morale/work product/level of caring improves."
And reducing the benefits and/or number of employees is hardly going to help get those remaining "to do boo about" parole violations, is it?
And deriving pleasure from it presumably.
Whatever toots your horn...

Ah yes, boot toggle switches, nice topper.

Hard drives? We used to boot off paper tape:
"A 'boot' process could be initiated from the paper tape reader which forced a nine word read (9x48 bits or 72 6-bit characters) into main store addresses zero through eight. On termination the program counter was set to zero and the instruction fetch sequence executed. The boot program could then call longer routines."

Yeah well, but it's also too big to fit a your pocket. What do you have to say about that mister smarty pants?
Maybe the pockets are bigger (certainly deeper?) in those smarty pants?
If you wear an outrageously silly beanie hat, it will compensate for the lack of tight trousers.
