They probably have more physical storage space than e-storage.
You're joking right? I can get a 2TB hard drive on Amazon for under $100 and I guarantee you it can fit more "letters" than any given warehouse you care to choose.
So you mean there was something inherently wrong by sitting in a cold room with 30 other kids listening to an old fart drone on and on endlessly without being allowed to speak or even fidget?
Yeah I figured as much when I kept falling asleep.
I find this disturbing. So the "Heritage Provider Network" is willing to submit healthy people to weekly or even daily blood tests in order to feed these algorithms? When you add up the total cost of the "prediction", it ends up being greater than the total cost of treating the condition. Or perhaps they think that they can use magic to predict who is going to get sick when. I mean, statistics can give you a general idea, but they absolutely cannot say what will happen in your particular case.
The secret to healthy living is the one people have been hearing all along. Don't smoke. Don't drink to excess. Look both ways before crossing the street. Eat more vegetables and fruit than carbs and meat, eat small portions 5 times a day, do at least an hour's worth of exercise per day, keep your weight down, and see your family physician regularly for primary (preventative) care. Unless you have some genetic predisposition to disease that you can't do anything about, the above sentence will carry you well into your 9th decade.
IANAL but this brings up an interesting point: would not any EULA for Ultima IV have been between me and Origin Systems (the original publisher). Since when can EA assume that I agree with their (new) terms just because they bought the company? They bought the company and the property owned by the company. They didn't buy my rights. However they may do so for the low low sum of $15 million.
You forget how shiny it looks, and you judge it by the content. So you do something called r-e-a-d-i-n-g and "read" the label in the store. It will tell you what CPU and graphics card it has, how much RAM it comes with, and how much hard disk space. You will also see the clock speed. Using your knowledge of processors (gained from "reading" articles on the internet) you will be able to understand the difference between a 64 bit AMD Athlon, an Intel Centrino, and a Quad Core i7. Then, instead of buying the laptop that Steve Jobs tells you you need, you do something called "using your judgement" and you can CHOOSE a laptop.
Please note that the "choosing" part is hard to do, especially the first few times. There is a chance you can "get it wrong". But then again just think, since your new non mac laptop costs 1/2 the price of a Mac, at worst case you can just buy another one, and still come out ahead.../troll
The comment was "it's NOT rocket surgery", and I therefore responded with an equally fictitious "brain science" comment. There is no "brain science". There is the study of the mind - psychology/psychiatry, and the study of nerves - neurology/neuroscience. But as far as I know, there are probably only 10 encephalologers in the world, and no one has managed to meet them because they fall asleep within 30 yards of them.
"Shock therapy" is available for only 5 easy payments of $99.99 on your credit card...
Frankly I will wait until I see the numbers. Writing N=50, saying there was a "significant savings" and including a bad graph does not a scientific study make. Although it makes for what the marketing people see as a hell of a presentation. There's proof! See the graph?
Not trusting the user input is rule #1 of programming - from way before the internet era. I'm only a programmer by hobby and even I know that. What do they teach these kids at school?
I don't expect the manufacturer of the headlights to come along and say "Hey, you are using my lights a lot, you have to pay me extra money".
No, it's more like the headlight manufacturer is going house to house knocking on doors and trying to extract money from the people who did anything whatsoever while you shined your light at them while driving past.

I don't think this word means what you think. First to understand recursion you have to understand recursion.
See this post and its reply for a better understanding of recursion.

Personally I would go with puppies.
I actually had one of those. Amazing machine, for the time. Of course it weighed a ton.
So you mean there was something inherently wrong by sitting in a cold room with 30 other kids listening to an old fart drone on and on endlessly without being allowed to speak or even fidget?

and the first one is free!
Yawn. You are obviously NOT an MD. The first rule of medicine is that there are no absolutes. We deal with people, not numbers and lab reports.

The price right now is $1418/oz. You're off by a little.

The minute gasoline hits $10/gallon. Crude is still on an up trend and the scary thing is this time it's not a bubble, it's a clear trend.

Jesus fuck, people. It's not rocket surgery.
Apparently it's brain science.

If you are listening to the radio with your hookers, you are doing it wrong.

So on your cable TV there are no commercials at all even though you pay by the month, right?
Pardon the sarcasm - but this is the business model they are after. They want the ad revenue AND the monthly "rent".
Or lack thereof, apparently...
Actually - pardon your Flemish...
To be honest I would have stuck with the virgins. That way at least some of us could get to see one every year...
Perhaps by the time William is 160, he will actually.... finish a... sentence.

Well soon your neighbors will be complaining about the noise of your video card(s)... COULD YOU PLEASE STOP VACUUMING AT 3AM? lol
