And if you have lots of data, distill it to ONE graphic per paper summary. If you've got a point to make about systems availability or potential future scalability issues, add a graph. Do NOT use the cutesy 3D crap. Just a line or bar graph of valid data that backs your point. It's also important that it only BE one. Maybe two if you've got a huge agenda. Once you add multiples you begin to complicate your point and you're almost as bad off as with no pretty pictures at all.
We're doing a lot of capacity planning these days and being able to show VMware farm capacity versus workload in a simple, concise, manner makes it much easier to have that discussion about funding.
I'm probably headed towards flamebait, but I think it's rather presumptuous and egotistical to assume that anyone is going to want to see your work fifty years from now. That's not your decision. As the other posters say, give the buyer one, maybe three, copies of your digital files on a convenient & prolific media like DVD-R and then let them decide if it's really worth preserving for the next century.
Second, do master ice sculptors require buyers to have refrigerated viewing galleries? If you're concerned about the longevity of your work, pick a less ephemeral medium.
If I go over, what's my recourse to dispute it? I want an itemized list of each movie I watched, icecast I streamed and stippercam to which I whacked off. Phone company does it, and we all KNOW they suck.
Also, what about roll-over gigs? Are nights and weekends free?
Personally, I have the lowest tier of TW business class through a deal my wife has at work. Wondering if I'll be affected. Hrm...
How to drop from 8 cups a day to 1 (or none)? Excedrin.
Excedrin, "the headache medicine", is a combination of aspirin, acetametaphin and caffiene. Among other things, caffiene is a vaso-diliator (which is why it's included in Excedrin in the first place). So when you stop taking it, the blood vessels in your head snap back like rubber bands and you end up writhing in agony. There's not/much/ caffiene in Excedrin, but there's enough to take the edge off the withdrawl symptoms and the aspirin/acetametaphin do the rest.
Shut up. About 1 in 12,000 Americans are killed by firearms each year. There are over 100 BILLION spam sent worldwide each day. That's 15 spam per person on this PLANET.
A good mail filter is more useful day-to-day than kevlar.
I don't think the allowed interlacing was a crock-up. When the ATSC standards were first created in the US, the only HD devices anywhere on the horizon were CRT-based. Building a large CRT display with a dot clock capable of 720p was prohibitively expensive. It had its potential place.
However, why large companies have not since kicked it to the curb, I do not know. Stupid NBC.
Your company building a new datacenter? Screw California. Put it in a northern state -- Any latitude above Chicago should do. All of a sudden, your cooling bill is effectively cut in half. Likely more, considering that, in the north, 90F is the exception and not the norm.
Car analogies suck. The big difference between the two are that nobody holds a primary patent on the internal combustion engine. However, Intel does hold the patents to the i386 arch.
It was a deal not with the US Govt, but with IBM that allowed AMD to license and clone the 8086. Still, a lot of legal went down in the 486 era that left AMD having to clean-room reverse engineer. I don't see why nVidia would have it any different or wouldn't be able to do the same.
...along with 3D acceleration and driver support thats even worse than what we Linux zealots have to put up with.
Personally, I traded in my indignity for usable drivers on nVidia chips. I'd do the same thing with my Via CX700M if I thought Via were compentant enough to write them.
So what you're saing is that being curious is good... just not too curious?
If all of this work one day enables faster-than-light travel or a refridgerator that runs off the zero-point energy of the ham sammich within, boy-oh-boy won't your face be red.
I get that the cost-to-benefit ratio is highly unfavorable; it's just that the cost of learning about our univerise is getting increasingly expensive the farther we go. In the past, massive insights could be gained by the hard work & cognitive leaps of just one man -- Copernicus, Newton, Kelvin et al. Later, harnessing the nuclear power of the atom took massive, governmentally funded teams and even later developing the science to take us to the moon took some $400 billion and 400,000 people.
Hell, we went to the moon just to remind the world we were still #1. And Newton didn't do a damn thing because he thought it would make the world better--that doesn't change the fact that without Newtonian physics we wouldn't be putting communications satellites in orbit. Science for the sake of science still has a positive impact on technological advance.
If you think he's there for completely altruistic reasons, I've got a bridge to sell you. Steve also has a metric fload of company stock. So if Apple does well, he's still seeing *significant* compensation.
I've got a feeling that he broke out specifically to kill his wife. She probably told him she was filing for devorce, or that she was getting regular stuffings from the pool boy or whatever. If he was already near the mental edge, it wouldn't have taken much to push him over the edge. The kid, though? Hard to say. Situations can get very ugly, very quickly.
720p x264 works, though. I'm told there are MAJOR improvements in the new versions of ffmpeg that allow multi-threaded playback. I've been to chicken to upgrade my MythTV box to find out.
I'm way the hell out of my league here, but the xscreensaver "attraction" does a pretty good job of showing you how orbits are attained with 3 separate masses.
As matter accelerates and gets closer and closer to the event horizon, particles begin bouncing into each other, like outside that one Who concert. Except in this case, instead of being crushed to death (as those concert-goers), centripetal force slings matter towards the poles of the hole with enough energy to achieve escape velocity. This creates a massive beam of ultra-high energy particles that would be very bad for your health. Well, two beams (one "up" and one "down"), but you get the idea.
Although I have yet to see one that takes less energy to make and is more fuel efficient, and cheaper to maintain the the Chevy Geo Metro. A ten your old vehicle.
I've owned two Metros and loved them both into the ground. Though it WAS rather safe in its day (due to its ability to bounce off objects in a collision) the Metro is a rolling death trap by modern standards. All that safety gear like crumble zones and reinforced passenger cages weighs a LOT. I'm not saying safety is a BAD thing, having seen what's people can walk away from these days. But it comes with a cost.
Look at the '08 Opel / Saturn Astra. A verifiable small car driven by a small, highly-efficient engine. Still 2900lbs and still only gets 31mpg hwy. The Metro? 1830lbs with my fat ass in the driver's seat. It's no wonder it got by with only a 1.0L engine.

Simple enough!

That chick in the scan? She's *hot*. Just look at the signatures on her!
I just don't see how anyone could profit from this.

There's not
IINAD, so use as directed.
I see what you did there. Bravo.
There has to be some way to tie together "Solyndra" and "green" and "is people". Step up the puns here, people.

Swirly in a urinal? You're doing it wrong.

That was a good one. If only there were mod points in here.
I say keep it, too. It may render like ass in IE7 (if I'm wasting time at work, it's what I gotta use), but that last email was a good one.

I'll bite. The Sandworms exhaled oxygen. Obviously we need CO2 exchanged for O2.

Dual-core 2.5Ghz AMD. In the same boat.

Because black holes can only "eat" so fast.
