You're right, it's not as good as dual external monitors. A laptop stand makes a big difference in getting the angle right, but I still think of it as a "secondary" display, where less important things go.
or a laptop with a docking station that will let me have 2 monitors but still snap it out and go.
I'm running a MacBook Pro with a second monitor, giving me a 2880x900 desktop. When I return from traveling it takes maybe 30 seconds to reconnect. Perhaps I'm not following what your objection is, but this setup works well for me.
I could see the convenience of just placing Device A on the Device B Contact Plate to achieve connectivity. No wires, no plugs. Just have them touch, and the connection is live.
Yeah. And then of course since you might accidentally bump one of them, or because sometimes it's not convenient to have them physically touch, the next step would be to invent some sort of "tethering" or "cabling" device to keep them connected.
This is about saving a buck not producing a higher quality ice cream.
What's wrong with saving a buck? That seems like a pretty good outcome. Also, perhaps it means that a high-quality ice cream can contain fewer calories.
One step at a time. You could get farmers to change to switchgrass, but it'd be harder to switch to algae. Once the absurd corn lobby is out of the way it'd be easier. (Assuming of course that the newly powerful switchgrass lobby doesn't get in the way.)
That is so funny that I almost fell out of my seat. Corn prices have stayed fairly constant for the past three decades.
You must have a rather slippery seat.
The 2002 Farm Bill guarantees corn farmers a price of $2.60 per bushel in 2002-2003 and $2.63
per bushel in 2004-2007 for the corn that they produce. In order to realize this price, corn
farmers are eligible to receive a combination of direct payments, loans, and counter-cyclical
payments.
Fixed Direct Payments: Set at a fixed rate of $.28 per bushel for crop years 2002-2007. These
payments are based on historic crop yields, so farmers are not obligated to grow any crop in
order to receive benefits. Since these payments increase in direct proportion to the acreage and
yield of eligible crops planted, they encourage larger tracts of land to be used for corn
cultivation.
Loans: The marketing assistance loan program and the loan deficiency payment program work
to bring the price of corn up above $1.98 per bushel in 2002-2003, and $1.95 per bushel in 2004-
2007. These non-recourse loans allow the producer to choose when and how much of the loan
they are going to pay back. They skew market signals by acting as a price floor for current
production and encourage overproduction.
Counter-Cyclical Payments: If the price of corn is still below the $2.63 target, counter-cyclical
payments are used. They work in the same way as direct payments, and are based upon
historical crop acreage and yield instead of current production. Again, this means that producers
do not have to produce in order to receive payments.
Conclusion:
Corn production is the most heavily subsidized commodity in the United States today. Payments
are extremely concentrated and benefits flow overwhelmingly to corporate agribusiness. Current
government policy is pumping up the bottom line of modern, profitable corporations and leaving
the taxpayer to foot the bill.
You make it sound like there's a choice of whether or not there's a God. That's not the choice - the choice is believing or not. I don't think there are too many people who are rooting against an afterlife. But wanting it to be so is not a reason to believe that it is.
While I certainly agree that simply disagreeing with a post is not a reason to mod it down, in this case the stated opinion was so obviously missing the point as to seem deliberate, and so I can see how one might consider it to be trolling. A good troll will often include some sort of foolish opinion intended to provoke a reaction.
The Dodd Gambit is a success.
And as he reluctantly tabled the bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was heard muttering "Dodd Gambit" under his breath.
It's simply too big of a task. There aren't enough computers in existence to do it in a millennium, let alone a day.
Right now if you want to brute-force a key that size your best strategy is to do nothing and wait for a breakthrough, such as quantum computers becoming practical.
To me that implies that the bottleneck will be upstream of the local loop. As the previous poster said, it's highly unlikely that Verizon has 28mbs * number of subscribers worth of bandwidth to the general Internet.
Well if the majority of the traffic is P2P, and Verizon has enough subscribers, then much of that traffic never makes it upstream of the local loop.
Wow, hopefully this isn't shot down in the court system
At least one of the items listed could lead to criminal prosecution. If the AG decided to file charges it would have an enormous effect. And if other AGs in other states indicate they might follow that lead it will be some mighty nervous times for the Media Sentry boys and the lot.
I was getting frequent kernel panics at first. At least a half dozen. It turned out to be a combination of Azureus and a wireless connection. It was very frustrating until I figured it out. I switched to Transmission and have not had any trouble since.
As for Leopard in general, I wouldn't go back to 10.4 if you paid me. Time Machine alone is worth every penny. It is extraordinarily impressive. To be able to visually flip through older versions is amazingly useful.

Well yeah. That's how this "learning" thing works.

That's what you think.
What a great post. Much better than the actual article.
And stupidity with horn-rimmed glasses and an argyle sweater is the square root of all evil.
Of course not. They know you've got laser pointers.

And there was still nothing.
But youse could see it.

That might all change once you get a look inside each other's genes.

There are way more As than anything else, but it's not first on any line.
