When HTML and HTTP came out, the internet exploded. Home computers started coming out with internet connectivity built-in. (Remember the days of Winsock?)
Winsock (now version 2) is still the primary means by which Windows apps speak TCP/IP. What you mean is "remember the days when Winsock had to be installed separately?".
The GPL allows this... "(or sell said improvements to the public for profit)"... But not this.
Sure it does. You can sell GPL software. But you have to make the source for that software available to anyone who buys it from you. The same is true if you take existing GPL software and modify it. This is only fair. Why should you be entitled to take some free software, and then modify it and make a profit off the backs off the developers who made it possible for you to do so? If you don't agree, then don't use GPL software as the basis for your own work, then you can license your work any way you want.
You definitely DON'T want ugly scaling on real time streategy games.
I dunno, just the other day I whipped out Age of Kings and ran it on my Dell Inspiron 8200 (1600x1200 screen), in 1280x1024 resolution, and it looked fine. Beat three computer players, too!;-)
...and imagine still wasting one hour travelling to the air/spaceport, three ours in check-in and security lanes, half an hour on the other end to get your luggage back, and yet one hour travelling off the port.
It would still be worth it. I hate being in an airliner - no room, stale air, crappy food, can't walk around, etc. Even first class is barely tolerable.
If you can figure out how to produce an adjustable length fully coherent laser beam without some hardware at the other end, that'd be the invention to patent!
Who says there has to be no hardware at the other end? (For the lawn mower application, anyway...)
Since the American game is apparently more challenging, Americans are.
Unless you're cheating, roulette is a game of chance, even more strictly so than, say, blackjack. There is nothing "challenging" about it. You either win or (far more likely) you lose.
The Honda can get 255 HP out of both systems for a short time, but before very long, the gas engine will be putting out 240 MINUS whatever it takes to run the generators, which will be, of course, greater than the 15 HP that the generators can put out.
Sure, but only for as long as it takes to charge the batteries, and from what I understand, the battery pack in the Accord isn't all that big.
Actually its better than that, Honda upgraded their big v6 to a 255hp...
No, that's the published "total power" figure for the hybrid system. It's a 240hp gas engine plus a 15hp electric motor, which is where they get the "255hp" figure.
...I'm sure this record will easily be crushed by the new Honda Accord hybrid. 240 hp 3.0L engine, plus electric motor, does 0-60 in under 7 seconds IIRC. With the speed limiter removed (and no other mods like ice cooling, ferchrissake), I'll bet it does 150 mph easy.
never mention your competitor in advertising - no such thing as bad publicity, people tend to forget the details but "brand reinforcement" still applies, if you have to mention your competitor then it implies your product wont/cant stand up on its own merits = you have LOST
This applies in politics, too, which is why Kerry lost to Bush.
Its interesting that you use the term "terrorist". In the context of Iraq, these are people who believe the Americans have no business being there and want to get them out. How does that make them terrorists ? If the russians invaded america if you fought back would that qualify you to be a "terrorist" ? Jeez!
A terrorist is a person who uses terror tactics against civilians to get governments to do what he wants. Shooting back at an invading force is not terrorism. Setting off a car bomb on a busy street is terrorism.
It is the same with NY and people with Cell Phones while driving they started talking and driving all the time getting into accidents so NY made it illegal to talk on a cell phone and drive at the same time.
No, it is not illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving in NY. It is now mandatory to use a hands-free system, that's all. Which is nonsensical IMO; the hazard is not caused by holding a phone in your hand, it's caused by concentrating on a phone conversation when you should be concentrating on the road.
What I object to, though, is the insinuation that we are the ones splitting the nuclei of the radioactive elements. These things are radioactive precisely because of their tendency to decay and in fact split themselves. They don't even split into other elements.
The resulting nuclei from the fission of a uranium nucleus aren't elements? What are they, then?
Are you suggesting that transit infrastructure in North America is lacking? I mean, Seattle has a two stop monorail that serves a city of more than three million people. Are you daring to suggest that is somehow inadequate?
"Adequate" or "inadequate" depends heavily on where in North America. Ever use the NYC subway? It has slightly more than two stops.
A lot of people usually get a lot of help writing their resumes. Once they get into the workforce, there is a prevailing myth among the plebes that spelling and grammar don't matter, as long as the message is right.
Sadly, in my experience, this myth is by no means limited to the "plebes".
...here's one place you can buy these, as well as other low-noise/small form-factor stuff. No, I have no association with them except as a satisfied customer. (I didn't buy a Hush PC, but I got a couple of mini-ITX boxes from them that are also reasonably quiet.)

Didn't we all learn our lesson from "Pump up the Volume"?

Ummmm...hello? Have you read "The Roads Must Roll"? The road Heinlein described was a suped-up conveyor belt, not a roadway.
OK, then how 'bout the fenced-off superduperhighway in Job: A Comedy of Justice? That one was in Texas, even, IIRC.

It has a decent battery life (about 3 hours normal use), but the 5-port linksys "hubs" ARE ACTUALLY SWITCHES. Stupid linksys.
Pardon my ignorance, by why would you consider a switch to be less desirable than a hub?

He just has to pay a few hundred million to get the rockets to take it up.
Unless he outsources the propulsion systems to India, of course.

You could at least spell "chief" correctly. Dumass.
Oh, sweet irony...

Go check out the Ferrari dealership in the area (Glen Cove).
They also now carry Maserati. There is also a Land Rover dealership over on the other side of town.

How many Libraries of Congress full of porn is that?
