Insightful my ass. My utility has a time of use plan and I save quite a bit with it. The two biggest power consumers are ac/heating and the hot water heater. The water heater only runs during off peak times. I get plenty of hot water in the morning because it shuts off just before I wake up. If I do need it during peak hours I can press a button and have hot water within a few minutes. As for the ac, peak hours are mostly when I'm not there. So the temp is set to something uncomfortable. By the time I need it, it is comfortable. During the summer peaks I save $50 - $60 per month, less in the winter. So no, it is not a theory, it works just fine in reality.
And before that, Harris Corp was using similar methods (using image metadata) as far back as the early 80's to generate accurate geolocation on any given pixel as well as to generate dted. Definitely not new.
So far, I've been having more difficultly with negatives: they come out blue, and once you fix that the colours don't look as good as photos.
Somewhere in there is a menu option to select the film type (I'm not at home where I can go look for it). Make sure you select the maufacturer and emulsion type you are using, as they all can have quite different color balances.
But seriously folks, has anyone tried this out on anything? I need to hear someone who's used it on Slashdot.
uClinux has been around for many years. It merely provides patches for running linux without an mmu. Because linux is organized by architecture, this just adds a few more architectures to standard linux. It also packages a bunch of applications in a way that is convenient for embedded development.
support either much higher taxes on gated commuties, or the removal of publicly funded services for them. Why should my taxes contribute to things like roads and grounds keeping for a plot of land that I'm not even allowed to be on?
In Arizona your taxes don't pay for those roads and groundskeeping. The developer does. Grounds maintenance is paid for by the rather high dues paid to the homeowner's association (and _every_ new development has one, required by every city here for just that reason).
Is the contracting rate really better than the salary in this case?
No. A rule of thumb is to add 50% of the salary for benefit costs - vacation, insurance, holidays all add up. This will vary by company, of course, but from my experience it is a reasonable estimate.
This shows one of the main limitations of the laissez-faire capitalism that USia endorses over the more rational policies implemented in the rest of the world.
Let's see, Sony is from Japan, Vivendi Universal from France, BMG from Germany. What's that about the US? This anti-American BS is completely pointless, not insightful. The US has no monopoly on greedy capitalism.
Try reading, or even glancing at the spec before shooting off your mouth. USB 2.0 defines low speed (1.5 Mb/s), full speed (12.0 Mb/s), and high speed (480 Mb/s) devices. My usb keyboard is 2.0 compliant, and it certainly doesn't communicate at 480 Mb/s. There is only one USB spec. The current version is 2.0.
This post is not insightful, it is completely ignorant, as are most of the other posts I've seen here. The article itself is nothing but yellow journalism. I am a member of one of the USBIF working groups. Here is the real scoop.
USB, just like every other spec, has revisions from time to time. When device manufacturers found USB 1.1 running into speed limitations USBIF added a new high speed category and bumped the rev to 2.0. Nothing sinister about that. Anything that is 1.1 compliant is also 2.0 compliant. Ain't backward compatibility wonderful?
Are marketers misusing this? Almost certainly. That has nothing to do with USBIF, which merely defines the standards.
That "William Shakespeare" primate of yours was actually an ape, not a monkey.
Actually, this "William Shakespeare" is a hominid, not an ape, although they have a common ancestor. You want apes, you need to look at a random NFL team, or my managers. And I haven't seen _any_ of them near a typewriter.
Okay, I'm done ranting. Please spare me your ill-based theory that if people don't speak 100% correct English 100% of the time that we'll all end up communicating via a series of grunts and moans.
I am a vi user and have often attempted to find INFOrmation using 'info', and I can honestly say that it's one of the most confusing, convoluted help systems around. Admittedly, I have been able to find one or two pieces of information in it, but I usually resort to a google for "vi tutorial" or something.
I've been an emacs user since 1988, and I _still_ can quite figure out info. It has to be the most useless tool ever concieved.
...but when a company can take a couple years and get unix on the deskop right (OS X) practically the first time (admittidly, it was released a few months too early), I become uninterested in the year after year failures of the OSS alternatives.
Umm, it took them a couple of years to build it from NextStep, which has been around for at least 15 years. Your comparison is is completely off-base. Personally, I've _never_ had any problems with Linux, either installation or running. But then I've been using various flavors of Unix for many, many years. If you use a distribution targetted to home users, such as Mandrake, you'll find far fewer problems.
The "Employer pays" model of head hunting is something the boom created. Prior to that, the employee paid head-hunters.
Expect the old model to return.
Ummm, no. I used employer paid head hunters long before the boom even thought about starting. They've been around for many decades. The first for me was during the last recession, and once more since then. The last was from DICE, which is also employer paid, but they're not quite a headhunter. No one should ever have to pay to find a professional level job.
Its the xbox that's dragging their hardware sales down, not the mice (most of which comes from elsewhere anyway - previous chips were Agilent, now they're ST, both with MS's navigation logic). I hate to say it, but the mouse is quite good, but overpriced. I use one at work, on my Linux machine;). At $50, the margin is quite high. The chip is around $2.00, the board, case, packaging probably another $10 - 15. You do the math.
Epson makes the smallest possible change to a license (not to forbid reverse engineering), so as to use an LGPLed library legally. It looks like Epson tried it on; it didn't work out, but it was worth a try.
Except that Epson has consistently provided a high level of support to Linux driver projects for several years. They even provide some hardware loaners for testing new products. I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Disclaimer: I have no connection whatsoever with Epson, other than as a satisfied customer for both scanners and printers

Hopefully those maps are better than the one that put Nebraska in the desert.
It will squirt phone calls...
Any company that makes a practice of telling the customer that they are wong (what ...
Yes, not all customers are wong. Some are wu, and some aren't even Chinese.
When you're dealing with the borg, "interface" is the proper term.

I'm a Republican.
The first step is to admit there is a problem ;)

I love donuts. Now I will never be able to eat one again. Bastard.
