Ah, but if that were the Elise, that would be one fantastic 2000lb, sub-2liter auto.
Really, though, Many 1.8/2L engines now are among the best in terms of power/economy tradeoffs (it is a wonder what a small turbo can do)... >30MPG, ~200HP, and not too much weight to screw with handling.
Ah, but you are forgetting the important part - the power company rebate (up to $2/CFL from mine). A 4-pack of the 60W equiv CFLs on sale was less than $8 when I picked them up at Home Depot... meaning a full rebate of the purchase on my next utility bill. Now *that*s a cheap bulb.
For the home theater example... TCO is a valid concern for appliances (and that's really all that a home theater is)... if one system draws 70W at idle / low volume, and the other draws 200W at idle/low volume then that is certainly something to take into consideration. If all else is equal, than yes, the more power-hungry one should be rated slightly lower, but it is is true, this shouldn't be a heavily weighted category for an overall ranking, mostly just informational for those who care. (Along the lines of "Bonus points awarded since the faceplate can be either silver or brushed aluminum!".
No, it's not an awful book... it's a series of (not actually written by Tom Clancy) books. You can tell, because after 300 pages, you've finished the whole book instead of just finishing the background and some of the character development...
Right, and this is why multi-stage development tools are handy. Where you have:
a user stage - where you make changes a current stage - where you can check things in/out of, but aren't part of the shipped code
a build stage - where the code can be promoted to after the review
That way, you have your code checked in to the (backed up) server and are able to test/review it there, without committing that code to anything resembling permanent.
I think you are talking about something else... when the parent said "a paper to electronic system", that indicated to me paper originals that then become part of a digital use/transfer (such as paper receipts transferred in via scanning).
The vacation request form example that you gave is fundamentally different, since you control the original, and in that case it never exists in the digital domain. If the form was sitting in the supply room, you filled it out, then scanned it in, then that would be a more analagous situation.
I think the bigger problem is that in all of the war rooms and political/economical scheming scenes in movies, all of those clocks (NY, London, Tokyo... etc) would all be showing the exact same time. Think of all of the poor clocks that would be put out of work by this!
Of course, if everything used MSI or other "smarter" interrupts, things would be a little better, but the whole context switch problem is still costly regardless.
Well - physical art (as opposed to body mods) can be considered an investment - and depending on the type of art, it can actually be used to increase the value of another item (a house being sold, etc) by a greater amount than the original purchase price.
On the other hand, one person's beautiful is another person's ugly.
You know - I owned an Atari 2600, an NES, Sega Genesis (etc...) and I've never made that connection with Windows "Start" button. Of course, I never bothered to think much about it. Now I'm looking through the door with my old controllers trying to find the buttons with the little foot and that K in the sprocket...
I know that we've had Firefox (and Mozilla before that... and Netscape before that) available for the AIX workstations. It was nice to actually use the same browser on my workstation, laptop, and linux box at work.
Except he is asking about component video cables, which carry a much higher frequency signal than audio cables... so he probably shouldn't "hear" the difference either way...
From my testing, there's been a decent difference between an svideo cable that came with the DVD player vs a $10-20 svideo cable, but not any noticable difference for SD when trying a $50-100 cable. YMMV

You mean the Net Force, of course. Or perhaps something from a different Tom Clancy book....
>Speed of light: air=299792458m/s; vacuum=299702547m/s
It seems that air is speeding up your light. It looks like you might have those values reversed...

Not if it is in a docking strip so you can use a real keyboard/mouse to ward off RSI.
Actually, I would think that
if(fish = fish)
{}
would not execute, since it should be optimized out...

Here's the ARS Technica article on the HP Dynamo tech.

As it was so well put in my favorite TV Series- "What kind of shmuck-ass system is this?"
I've seen an even sneakier version: ...

#if 0

and even
#if THING_NEVER_DEFINED
#endif
France immediately surrendered.
A friend of mine (who used to deal with helicopters on an aircraft carrier) would agree that they don't fly - they just beat the air into submission.

While we're at it, the new PlayStation is using the Cell/PowerPC cores, too...

There are also harnesses that can be used instead of collars to help prevent the same troubles.

>A full-assed geek wouldn't go outside, right.
That's because a full-assed geek wouldn't fit through the door...
Well, most of the time it is A,B,A,B but it is nice to have C available with a pushd +1 (especially when the path name become issues)
