Its interesting how that time frame lines up with the start of civilization and the world we recognize. What the world does without people isn't relevant.
Could it be that a sustained period of stable climate?
Was the right juice to propel a clever primate,
To re-make the world, to improve upon God,
And slip into your pocket the latest, greatest iPod.
What will a sustained period of unstable climate slip into our pockets? Zunes?
Not just that, you could implant lasers above their eyes and have heat vision, just like superman! Imagine, eyeing that piece of cold pizza, and realizing that by heating it up then eating it, you will actually lose weight! FTW!
Space never existed; thats the whole point. If it exists, it isn't space.
Also, although NASA haven't noted it, There is no dark side of the Moon, really. Matter of fact, its all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the Sun.
and also FWIW there have been quite a few texas politicians that have chosen extremely violent attacks to maintain their position in the petroleum market. Sorry they come from your neck of the woods; shouldn't reflect badly on you. Maybe next time you see some psychopath with rising popularity coming out of the oil families you could do us all a favour by treating him to a 'texas suicide'. It worked well for the Enron whistleblower; I think it could be more widely applied.
It is a great funny. His party of 'no-global-warming-problem and CO2 is good for you', has been devoting huge attention to develop the arctic region of Canada - just in time for the Arctic being less arctic.
Meanwhile, people treat the global warming deniers like ignorant shovel heads. With apologies to JS Mill, the deniers aren't all stupid people; although all stupid people are deniers. Many deniers are self-interested bastards, fully aware of what is going on, just lacking concern.
'Entice' might be a bit pejorative, but as you describe it, what possible law could Google have run afoul of? Even MS whining about being overcharged means SFA in this framework; the customer value is purely subjective. Kleenex, for example, should expect a different 'eyeball' rate than an obscure Scotch.
If MS get charged lots for queries like 'what is the shittiest OS', they might have a case. If they get charged a lot for eyeballs on 'viable mobile OS', well they are the obscure Scotch.
On the rumour that Apotheker has been shit-canned, the stock rose almost 7 % -- a market cap increase of about $3B. Imagine if they shot the board and top few levels of mgmt...
It is a humiliating kick in the crotch to have being firing be the only worthwhile initiative you were involved in. To that end, the BoD was clearly incompetent and he should get a little walkin around money.
Someone has to drag the corpses out of the roller coaster, and that isn't going to be pretty. I think a nice long free-fall with a parachute programmed to hit an active volcano would be a bit more creative. They get to enjoy a blissful free-fall, gentle descent and quick cremation. Best of all, no mess and no fuss.
The 60s had nothing on the 20s; and the last decade looks uptight and repressive compared to the 50s. As counter to modern culture as it may seem, it was well understood how much fun sex was a very long time ago.
In terms of monetizing sex, well that is quite the revolution.....
The mini example was a set of interlocked instructions, where the source operand of each is dependent upon the previous insn; thus everything is forced to be in-order. Compilers are smart enough not to do this, and the real difference in a 'wide' architecture is that it doesn't insert an interpreter (renaming, stalling, bubbling, etc..). The program ( compiler ) has to know that copying R1 to R2 has an N instruction latency before R2 is valid. If it tries to use R2 earlier, it gets junk.
The x86 trend, since Prescott, has been shorter pipelines + more cores to break the bottleneck.
not to defend itanium, but by not foisting it on the compiler, you foist it onto an interpreter running on the CPU. Although the interpreter was wasteful enough, it had no opportunity to usefully work around the kind of dependence shown by:
mov xyz, %eax
add %eax, %ebx
sub %ebx, %ecx
or %rcx, %edx It could only insert bubbles until the each op finished.
That was the crazy solution to the CPU:Memory speed imbalance. Multi core has won the day, but modern high speed processing (eg. GPUs) often use this architecture.
Remember when that flight attendant pulled the emergency line, told everyone to fuck off and quit in a most convincing style?
He was a bit of a hero in many peoples minds. The Yahoo! CEO! deserves at least as much of this as him; but the underlying problem remains the same.
Holding a BOD to any sort of responsibility is a great theory; but it runs against current practice. Often, the appointment is be a reward for sychophants, rent boys or sadsacks. Changing this could be a major upset of corporate organization.

Frogs and jokes don't fare well by discetion...
1. Make up big numbers ....
2.
3. Profit!
Worked for years, until:
4. Totally Fuck Up the very thing you depend on
5. Cry Espionage
6. Bankrupt.
Bye!
African or European? Either way, I bet they can carry a couple of coconuts.

I recall reading that Blue Origin had made some startling advances in achieving "smoking crater".
Maybe NASA is funding these projects is to show that it isn't that easy.
Monied might be more appropriate. I doubt that either MicroSoft or IBM are "valued" by anybody. They are simply players.

No offense to Texans; really meant Texan politicians.
I think you mean Texans....
The action:waiting ration for burning discs, ripping LPs, etc... is too low for me. I usually lose interest after 2.
Odd that you sited the football example; its the same reason I can't sit through a football game.
So, how about a self marking DVD ripping jukebox, so I can pour blanks in one end, and get labelled backups (with seq# if necessary) out the other?
"Everything is as simple as possible" - conservative theology.
I wonder what they taste like. I bet they are yummy. I wish I could live long enough to find out.
Really, I'm feeling quite a bit better.
It would be nice to see sun rise again; although masters of their own demise, they have suffered the way Brittany did.

The research was funded by Health Care death panels, they don't quite have it sorted out yet...

Sounds a bit like 'the solution', perhaps?

Has anybody ever worked for a company where the senior management/executives weren't useless douchebags?
Apple and SnOracle employees are pre-considered counterbalancing and need not chime in.
