What's the market for color e-ink? It's not really suitble for a laptop because it is too slow. The cursor wouldn't move well, you cannot watch video, video games would be painful. As a control panel on some device, there are a lot more cheaper solutions, and you'd need to have some reason for an expensive color display on your coffee machine. You might be able to put a curved display on something, but since they aren't doing this with the B&W version, why would the do it with color? So, you're probably limited to e-book type of uses.
Normal mass market books are plain black and white, so color is only necessary if you have some speciality book with pictures. So, you're mostly looking at textbooks, comic books, and magazines. Textbooks cost the same, or more, for electronic instead of printed versions, and you cannot write in the margins, so there isn't going to be a large demand by students. Comic book readers aren't likely to spend an extra $400, which would probably be better spent on 200 or so more comics that could eventually be resold by some ancester. The only other option would be for porn, but the abuse of the device would be awful.
So, unless the price is about the same as the black and white version, it's not likely to have a very large market.
So how the hell have they never noticed that female and male birds have these slightly different cells before, and reached the non-hormone driven conclusion before this?
The main problem is that when they got a sample of these chickens, they always arrived just before lunch, so they had a barbeque instead of inspecting them. With the recent budget cuts at the Post Office, the deliverys now arrive after lunch.
Quite simply, he will be helpful because when he puts together a report, there will be one or two incredibly informative graphs that explain where the money went and how that money changed things.
What color is he going to use for "stuffed in underpants", which is the method Clinton's groupies used to spirit away a lot of stuff. I think brown would be a good color.
so i'm under the impression of having advanced quantum physics described to me by a drunk with a cockney accent. i guess that's helpful...
Isn't that what it takes to be able to understand Quantum Mechanics? To normal folks, there isn't any difference between Quantum Mechanics and bellybutton lint, both are totally incomprehensible.
Pigs are really useful, for example, as a seperator between a beef patty and lettuce. Why not use something that's completely useless, like politicions?
The GW crowd will tell you that any decrease in glacerization is proof of Global Warming. However, if the glaciers start to increase, that will also be proog of Global Warming.
After Katrina, we were told that hurricanes would get worse and worse every year due to Global Warming. When the next year was devoid of hurricanes, this was claimed to have been caused by Global Warming.
Apparently, and change in the weather is proof of Global Warming. More rain, Global Warming. Less rain, Global Warming. Warmer weather, Global Warming. Cooler weather, Global Warming. Cloudy skys, Global Warming. Clear skys, Global Warming.
It doesn't matter what you consider, it's all caused by Global Warming. Even earthquakes have been blaimed on Global Warming. No evidence can be used to disprove Global Warming, because everything is taken as proof of it. Until someone can come up with a method that would disprove it, it is a religion and not science.
May I suggest this rather simple but effective ethics:
Value sentience.
There needs to be some measure of sentience, so that it is not based on emotion.
1. Do they have some form of communication. +10 2. Do they have a writing system: +10 3. Do they have agriculture: +10 4. Do they have a scientific system: +10 5. Are they tasty: -100
But, does that mean that Obama has to go to Mars to apologize to them directly, or can he do it through a video feed? It would be expensive to send Obama there, along with his two teleprompters (plus backups), plus several reports to laud his historic apolojetic tour across the Solar System. Or would he need more teleprompters because of the lower gravity?
This is just another case of Microsoft going after successful businessmen, in order to drive them out of an arena that Microsoft is planning on taking over. Soon, you're e-mail will be plastered with offers for MSV1AGRA, and letters from the son of the deposed Chaiman of Microsoft who needs your help getting money out of Redmond.
On reading this, does anyone else think of a circus car that splits in half, with clowns falling out both sections?
Or those cars in the movies that break in half, with the front half going one way and the guys in the back frantically trying to keep the back part going in the same direction.
Homeopathy is about diluting some substance in water until it is so dilute it is impossible to detect in the final solution.
1. How to you get water that has nothing diluted in it beforehand? If you use tap water, it probably has numerous substances already diluted in it, and any attempt at purifying it will make it even more dilute (eg. stronger under the homeopathic rules).
2. Aren't there going to be harmful solutions too? You pick something that causes similar problems to cure it, so if you use something beneficial to start with, shouldn't it create a deadly substance? Since it is so dilute, you wouldn't be able to test for it chemically. Shouldn't you be able to cause someone to starve to death by diluting something like sugar? Do you have to be careful that you don't drop a single grain of sugar into the vat?

The rectal, or the other kind?
So Microsoft just killed off one of its competators. Now their "security update" messages will be able to get through easier.

and you don't gain it all back thanks to Carnot.
Damn that Carnot! We need to get together and vote him, and his stupid laws, out. Does it require a simple majority, or do we need 2/3's of the vote?
Worse case: It can install Windows on your phone, so that it can run.
Note: In this case, the virus is the least of your problems.

They spend over 9 billion dollars on research, and we still need to buy add-on products to protect us from virus attacks.

Ok, I'll take the blame. I did it. Now, please send me that $1M.
Ummm... this doesn't really make me financially responsible does it, cause otherwise that $1M might not go too far.
Why don't they have a Linux version? Why must I run everything under wine? This is why Linux will never get a very large share of the market.

They're just trying to do something about Global Warming!
