I agree, it does not make sense to do that, not to mention that you don't have a proper stand for use. You can feel the heat from the superdrive from removing cds and I found the hard drive was hot after I shut it down and opened it up to see the make of the memory module. I have to mention that this was after over a half hour of heavy disk usage.
Due to financial contraints, I've waited a long time before getting a new computer. I took careful consideration of needs. The only thing that an intel/amd box would get me that a mac would not are the windows games. Everything else I need to do I can do on OS X and in fact some stuff is better because of Darwin. For family use, linux is out of the question. I wanted as close to appliance computing as I can get. So I chanced on the new iMac G5. I got it last week. Overall I'm impressed with it. People who visit do actually ask, "where's the cpu?" Sleep mode is great. It is pretty quiet. Quieter than almost all the laptops I've used. I've still got the 256MB ram in it. I really want to upgrade, but am trying to decide whether to splurge for the 1GB module now, get 2 512MB modules, or just get one more 256MB and wait until the 1GB prices drop.
My only concern with it is that after serious use, the superdrive and hard drive get very warm. So I might have one of the temperature problem units, but I'm entirely convinced of that yet.
Yeah, you take a whole bunch of people, tap them for heat and equip them with VR gear, then you network them together in to a mass simulation, like some kind of matrix...
Hmm, this sounds familiar. I used to live in Scottsdale. I have a distant relative that lives in that area who drives a Gatsby or Gatsby like car. Old guy nicknamed Earl. His habit when I was there was to jump the green light. One time he almost hit my then girlfriend who was going through a yellow.
I totally agree about memory. I ordered it with the discount on final cut express, which requires 512Mb, so I'm going to order a 1Gb DIMM when the system ships (looking at a 4 week wait) to replace the 256MB module. One of my coworkers is a hardware geek, he strongly recommends crucial for their quality and service.
I've read that memory throughput is better when paired with identical memory, so I'm curious if the performance would be better with just the one 1Gb DIMM over the 1Gb and 256Mb DIMMs filling both slots.
I don't need MS Office, already use OO at home and when I need to document on linux, and I'm looking forward to perusing AppleWorks. Last time I used appleworks was on my IIe near couple of decades ago.
What would be incredibly useful would be to run visio and run the old dos game (Which I guess should be adequate with emulation) when I have the time (which is rarely). To digress, I hate visio, but it has become a staple for design. I'd like to see more effort put into projects like argouml, and I'm reading up on the project to see if there is something I can do to help, but I need something now.
From this http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1993/U kpga_19930012_en_2.htm (b) a substance possessing radioactivity which is wholly or partly attributable to a process of nuclear fission or other process of subjecting a substance to bombardment by neutrons or to ionising radiations, not being a process occurring in the course of nature, or in consequence of the disposal of radioactive waste, or by way of contamination in the course of the application of a process to some other substance.
This tells me that coffee is not radioactive waste, nor radioactive material as per this legislation as potassium is not listed on Schedule 1 Now if you can find that coffee contains a substance on schedule 1 in such quantities as to fall under section (a) of "meaning of radioactive material" then I will have to agree with you that coffee as waste is radioactive waste. Until and unless that time, I have to say that you were misled in your statement that coffee is a radioactive material/waste, according to British law.
As an earth-science undergrad I learnt that coffee is in fact too radioactive to landfill under current EU regulations That is a bold statement. Got any supporting documentation?
Well, if we are into serious bean counting, then how about the additional load that the heat of a CRT places on air conditioning vs LCD if you live in a hot climate or a sealed building. In winter, though, its nice. I can warm my hands over the top of the monitor.
Slippery conditions should not factor in against automated adjustment. Consider ABS as a system to prevent loss of traction due to slippery conditions. The "keep in lane system" should not be jerky enough to lose lateral traction.
In three days, you are not going to get anything except the abolute fundamentals to stick. Since we all learn by hanging new knowledge on our existing experiences, the best you can do is show them how they can use resources at hand such as books, web, ask slashdot;) to teach themselves. Any specifics should be directly job related.
biological constructs have had billions of years of natural selection thrashing around nucleotide sequences to produce what we now see as varying levels of intelligence and awareness.
Computer (and robotic) technology has been around how long? 60 or so years in practice?
If past observations are any guide, then I'd say the answer is a mix of money made selling lists and actual product sales. In the 90's I used to do IT work for an informercial/900 number infomercial outfit. The pitch was "Make money with 900 numbers." Any normal thinking person is going to say BS. And by an large it is BS. But add greed and a low entry cost, and a hard selling telemarketer, through objection/rebuttal rounds can sell "money making guides" (read legal but shady get rich quick scheme) to lots of people. In a nutshell, the infomercial marketeer made a bundle selling info packets and lists. A few who followed the formula made money, but most didn't.
I don't like the business so I got out of doing IT support for it, but I learned a heck of a lot about the informercial/telemarketing biz.
Since cattle need to drink water, they add to the load on fresh water demands. Cattle consume from 1 (for a 1 month old) to many gallons (for a lactating cow) per day. Ref: Water intake and quality for cattle

Thanks for the link! Prices look very reasonable too.

Seems to be /.ed
But I'm making the change at home. I have a family, so I have to consider non-geek computer needs. I've ordered the imac G5.
Now, for the mac users out there, what would you use in place of virtualpc?

How well do the lane sensors work when you throw some snow on the road?

My bet is the contractors that built the shuttles wouldn't even TOUCH a contract to try to build another set of them.
I take it you've not worked for a defense/gov contractor? For better or for worse, if there's the smell of money, there's a bid.
Easy, we fake a potential global catastrophe and send all the hairdressers, TV producers and salespeople on a ship to interstellar space.

One issue I've not read in the articles posted here is the one concerning the toxicity of nano materials, such as buckyballs.
Also, right now on wbur is a BBC documentary on nanotech.
Maybe, unless the robot water sample collector is Erin Robotovich
