I doubt they'll even get one bid. Since the robot cannot be entered into the competition $25,000 dollars is a little much. If the Battle Bots is just a fad, their would be little collectable value. Since it cannot be entered into another competition, it's just a really expensive paperweight. There isn't much reverse engineering that needs to be done on it, just what you see on TV. I didn't think their could be clauses to a sale on Ebay though, you might be able to enter it under a different name and win the right to enter it in court.
Yea, but since both have completely decided to get out of CPU design (Both companies have said Intel will be thier suppliers), they can just layoff everyone. It would be easier that way. Besides, since Intel can't design (for reference see the 7 years they spent on the P4), we're all screwed. The IA-64 was an HP design, Intel was brought in to do the fabbing, but took over. The chip everyone is waiting for to prove IA-64, the McKinely is mainly designed by HP. Kinda of sad isn't.
EXCEPT for the hundreds of places that have my old SSN on record, and now need to change them. Try telling your bank that your SSN has changed - it will mess their entire world up.
That's really their problem. It's not your fault their databases we're coded without any way to change the SSN. Don't cry them a river at all.
Fans of UNIX will, of course, disagree. The popularity of archaic command-line interfaces in the UNIX subculture could perhaps be understood as a consequence of gamer-like behavior among hobbyists and tinkerers.
But if you look at how someone uses a command line thay proceed in the same way as sticky adaptation. Learning and using the basic commands and then adding more complex options and commands as they learn more. Besides, with things like Word Processors and CLI you want all the functionality there from day one. You don't want to have to go though a tutorial every time you start a new doc, get a new machine, or reformat.
Errr, butter actually has a very long shelf life. Probably not the sort of shelf life that would hold the shape for a while, but it would stay good enough to eat.
Are you interested in privacy as well? Because according to your interpretation there is no guarentee that you'll have any privacy what so ever. It isn't in the constitution, so why would you expect it? The government can track your movement, everything you do and it will all be cool. No protections what so ever! Yea!
There are a good deal of rights, not in the Constitution. It was never intended to be static, and they we're interpreting it from the begining. Things like overturning a law on Constitutional grounds was just completely made up. Don't be so strict, you'll really lose a lot of your freedoms.
She recieved no respect whatsoever. The school treated teachers like children. Forcing them to attend 30 minute weekly meetings where nothing was accomplished.
And this is any different from a technical job how? Oh wait, our meetings usually last 1.5 hours. My bad. The problems with teachers are true with any job out there. You've just got to find the right schools or work place.
You really don't follow the markets I guess because Transmeta is valued at $2.76 instead of.0276. Your off by a factor of 100. And should we be really sorry you made a bad investment?
Except for Quake 3 all the porting was done by id Software. Hense it didn't cost anything else extra for Loki to distribute the game under windows. In the case of Tribes 2, the game was ported by Loki, so they have a finicial interest in recouping the costs of the port. When more companies write software for three platforms from the get go, then everyone will be like ID, but until then just don't buy the Windows version if your interested in the Linux one. Best things come to those who wait.
Except they are not allowed a new trial. The trial stands, without any changes or new evidence. They have been found guilty. The Conclusions of law needs to be reworked. Basicly the sentancing phase will be redone, which should take 6 months tops. It's really not that hard at all.
Is it really that horrible a thought that we might all have to pay 1/16th of the cost of a T1 for T1 speeds?
It is when there is no justified reason for doing so other than to prevent T1 sales from being destroyed by a cheaper alternative. DSL prices don't have to be so high, they're only high because the telephones are a local monopoly and don't want the more profitable T1 sales to be hurt.
Except the market doesn't reward the companies with long term plans at all. They only judge a company based on its last quarter and its next quarter. Anything else is irrevelent.

Then so are any govenment contracts. It's in the procument manuals. An OS puchased must have POSIX without any sort of add on. The government buys a lot of stuff to just ignore them.

If you use POSIX system calls all over your code (and I'd hate to see your code if you do), porting the thing to Windows would probably be harder than simply re-writing the damned thing from scratch. You must consider portability from the beginning!
Posix calls are specificly designed to be portable. If you only make posix calls then you'll be portible to all operating systems, including Windows (which has a posix layer. The Federal government wouldn't buy it if they didn't). In other words your complaint about calls would solve your complain at all.

No, SDRAM and RDRAM are both decended from DRAM, but are by and large different memory technologies. SDRAM was developed by JEDEC (although at one time RAMBUS was a member). RDRAM was developed solely by RAMBUS. They both use a number of similar technologies, but they are different. RDRAM is serial, while SDRAM is parallel.
I'd first like to thank you for the port of Maelstrom, which has to be one of the most addictive games ever. (One of my friends called it legalized crack.) But how hard is it to port a classic game like Maestrom to SDL? Was it more work that it would of been to start over? Or because of its size and complexity was it relatively easy?
Actually clicking a button after launch is now considered a "signature". The federal law is silly, who knew you'd be signing your life away by clicking the silly and stupid little check box when the program starts up. Sucks doesn't?

And just for the record as well, TSL is just SSLv3.1. It was given a new name be SSL was trademarked by Netscape.

This doesn't say how SDRAM is decended from RDRAM like your first comment specified. SDRAM is older, so they use one or two similar gizmos, so what?
