And somewhere there's an even more complete database that could help with such searches, but is used only to ensure that anyone with the name "Richard Johnson" (or one of ten thousand other names) is not allowed onto an airplane without an extra search procedure and ID check...
Myspace and facebook were free because they had to find a way to compete for traffic. Other sites were making money off of customer subscriptions because it still worked. Once the newer sites decided that they would rather have zero subscription income and get all their revenue from ads, that's how it went.
It could have worked either way. It worked this way. Nobody predicted it.
No, they weren't. For the past year Intel has boxed AMD in with chips at the same performance and lower price, or the same price and higher performance, or both.
And Intel has had performance segments (QX*) stretching well above AMD's, and pricing segments (Atom) well below AMD's.
AMD's short-lived price/performance superiority in the desktop sweet-spot in 2004 and 2005 has left many people thinking they're still in that position. That hasn't been true since Core 2 came out. HyperTransport gave them a slight edge in very-high-end servers for certain applications, but Intel stayed near them with reliably higher clock speeds, and is coming out with QuickPath in four days, wiping out those few use cases where AMD can make easy sales today.
What I'm saying is, right now you are likely to choose Intel in almost all situations, if you are objective.
Does this have anything to do with the ridiculous inability of the laptop LCD screen market to put out 1920x1080 screens?
It's as though they're keeping the market for TV screens expensive by not allowing the format to bleed into laptop realm, wherupon cheap computers become high-quality televisions, killing the TV screen market.
No, it's still in the government's interest not to scare Microsoft away from ever bidding on government business because the government can't keep to an NDA.
It's in the public's interest to know that the people who brokered your end of the deal were trustworthy and capable of striking a fair bargain.
It's not in the public's interest to abuse that negotiator's view into a company's proprietary information.
Companies will simply stop selling your government the things it needs to be more efficient, or will insist on huge fees to compensate for loss of intellectual property.
It isn't a right, it's a policy. And in a democracy or a democratic republic, it takes time and a few million friends to change the policy. You can't do it just by saying you interpret the founding fathers a different way.
Sure. That's what we thought we were getting. But we made some assumptions based on the zeitgeist. The Constitution is way too short to ensure that it comes out right. And for the past eight years, we've seen every loophole abused or filled with mud.
Brain chemicals are brain chemicals. How you create the need for them to be activated is not relevant.
Yours is chemical. Someone else's is through constant ego-reward.
As for withdrawal, removal from a constant source of attention and validation will lead to a condition known as "grieving," which has distinct symptoms and can be physically painful as well as psychologically traumatic.
Some people may be genetically susceptible to these situations.
Never underestimate your brain's capability to do things to you that you do not intend and can not control.
I'm looking at getting a netbook for portable use for work. It's a brilliant idea for bringing a real computer wherever I need to be without any "lug" factor.
And if it works for me, I will be recommending that the IT department do it for everyone.
Price of a cell phone, power of a business-class desktop. And you can bet IT will be insisting on Windows, not Linux, on those netbooks, so they're compatible with the enterprise system in place.
I can only change one form of corporate inertia at a time, and I bet that's a common thing. Microsoft could buy a lot of time by selling this model to its existing business-customer base.
Compatibility has value, and those are still the most-compatible operating systems there are.
Compatible with each other and with all of the installed copies of Windows in the world.
As Windows' installed-base share erodes, this compatibility factor will decline, and the price Microsoft can command for it will be reduced.
Time for Microsoft to start thinking about using its development and marketing might to do something game-changing. Something that reverses the bleed to other OSes. (But isn't as lame as.net and C#.)
Obama is the best candidate since Clinton, who was the best since Kennedy, who was the best since Ike, who was the best since FDR, who was the best since TR, who was the best since Lincoln, who was the best since Jefferson, who was the best, period.
Actually, Obama may turn out to be better than all of them. He definitely has that potential, looking at how he ran an efficient campaign and avoided distancing anyone with a brain.
even if it means manipulating the nation's understanding of politics to get people like George Bush elected Presdient, Fox News will do it, because it means the rich get richer, which is what they see as their job

I have a gig of video memory and a gigabit ethernet. None of those numbers is even close to implying it's a technological challenge.

Actually, the "citation required" would put the onus on you to prove OLPC is committing a crime such as that.
I encourage you to do so, but I would bet against your being correct.

No you aren't.
The G1 still goes to someone who doesn't has, and you still has G1.
That's exactly right, no matter why you wanted to G1.

6 hours a day?

Thanks to virtualization, I spent 6 hours on the Internet in just the past 40 minutes!
After the hundred, there will be zero.
What will you say then? "I got mine!"?
Translation:
"If you know how it works, don't stop us from using it to do what we wanted to do."
The rest of your strawmen are noted as examples of the breed.
So we're just a motion-capture system away from the Total Perspective Vortex...
I.e., "commercialized" means "the hundred or so that we will ever be able to do will cost a $billion each."
Everyone it's transplanted into becomes one.
That depends on who talks to the people on the board.
If you want it done your way, tell them.
Otherwise, you're allowing others to define your legal system for you.
Don't bet on that lasting.

Land doesn't need representation.
Population does.
The current system underrepresents the very people who need government that is interested in their needs the most.
