You have no grasp of what 'kilo', 'mega', and 'giga' mean. They have meant the same thing for 45 years, computers did not change that. There is a standard for binary powers, you simply refuse to use it.
Yes. If I pretend to stick a knife into you then I am acting the part of a murderer. If I actually stick the knife into you then I am no longer acting. Use your imagination to finish this analogy.
What does licensing someone to drive have to do with giving them identification? All a driver's license says is "this person is allowed to drive". Just because *YOUR* driver's license happens to be accepted as identification means nothing. I can use my library card as identification most places.
That has nothing to do with difficulty, thats a purely luck-based setup. With most minesweeper boards there will come a point where you have to pick one of two equally probable positions for the remaining mines. One of them will be wrong and lose the game, the other will be right. In "easy" games that happens rarely. In "medium" it happens sometimes. In "hard" it happens often enough that the game SEEMS hard, but its really just you coming up against 50/50 odds one more time than your luck held out.
You just increased the cost of production by a factor of 2, at least. Do you have any idea how expensive the telescoping cylinder in, for example, a cable truck boom is? And that is just for ~20 feet extension. 4 floors would require double that.
simple Hydraulic Elevators require a piston. 4 story elevator == 4 story piston. That means a 4 floor deep hole in the ground under your elevator. Not very easy to install.
Only the top rim of the passenger chamber has to be airtight. The bottom section of the tube can (and will, presumably) be at room pressure, and there is no reason to not have vents in the bottom of the passenger chamber.
That summary is why I don't read newspapers any more. I find reading text in columns less than 30 characters wide to be painful, and refuse to do it. Someone want to karma whore and post his whole summary in one nice wide paragraph?
Yes, but the expression of an idea that is a movie also effectively copyrights the idea, because any future expressions of that same idea can be argued to be derivative works of the original movie. However, this same extension has been held to NOT apply to phone books, where the secondary works are most definitely derivatives of the original (insofar as the idea (database) only exists publically in the form of the particular original expression).
I wonder why something like this isnt inherently unprotectable, like the contents of the phone book. A DNA sequence is, after all, simply a record of an existing state of things, NOT an original work (barring genetic engineering, which this isnt). If I take your phonenumber/basepair book and reproduce it... have I broken any laws (apparently the answers are no and yes, in that order)? The precedent for this has existed for decades.
Babbages (aka GameStop) here used to have a great $10 games section. New games, discounted. I picked up at least a hundred games from there. Then EB opened on the other end of the mall with their own cheap section and a much larger used section. GameStop's PC inventory nearly disappeared, down to 1/8th what they had before, almost entirely console games here now. I hope they dont do the same thing to EB.
Thankfully the USofAmerican systems of copyright and trademark laws, as detestable as they may be otherwise, dont give Microsoft any power over when and where people post screenshots of a public beta.
So if all that data doesnt help you then... stay on I287. Nothing is wrong with the algorithm when it says youre already on the fastest path, as long as its right. The point is that this system would saturate the side roads exactly, resulting in everyone (except the one guy taking a side road no one else knew about before) getting home a little faster.
Sorry, I must be in the wrong decade. Around here everyone just turns ads off. I haven't seen an ad on google, slashdot, or any other site in months, and not one before that in years. And I have never seen an ad in gmail.
We had that problem in Baldur's Gate. Solution? "Enhanced Pathfinding" in Baldur's Gate 2, makes the characters recompute their path every few steps. The only time youre ever committed to a path on the road is between exits on the interstate, and with proper information you should only get stuck behind those ~1% of the time that you do now.
I bought my first MP3 player almost 10 years ago, and still have it. What it lacks in features it makes up in durability and battery life (20+ hours on a pair of cheap nimh AAs, 40 on lithiums). It is a MP3 CD player that also plays audio CDs. When I got it I was having trouble deciding between a cheap mp3+cd player and an expensive mp3+cd+*VCD* player with video out (still in discman form factor). if VCDs had been as common then as now the decision would have gone the other way.

who the hell teaches people this kind of web design? i havent made a page that screwed up since my first day of html. i can *BARELY* read the black text where it goes over left dark green border of the second tiling of the background.

Yes. If I meant Gibibytes then I would say Gibibytes.

I dont hold any particular opinions regarding the merits of any lifestyle. But get it right. If they are doing gay porn, they are gay.

Actually we do. 1.37 is plural. as in 1.37 Hundreds.
It is green. Everyone with an xbox knows that.

Something about a million monkeys sitting at a million keyboards comes to mine :)

Yeah, but only the first page. I saw all the other pics, including the interior ones, on the later pages just fine.
I'm sorry, what was that? Did I just hear the same argument about 89% that I heard about 98% when IE6 came out?
