Its not just Liberman. Fox and all the other media outlets have all been purging clips from youtube. Go through the last year of videos on digg from the top down and nearly half of them have been purged. I feel like there are some fairly powerful anti-subversion forces at work.
Nice. Their files included a trojan and a rootkit, at least according to avast. Maybe false positives. Maybe not. Who can say? The rootkit was the telling one.
Can you back this up? I have been studying this market for some time now, and the bottom line is that scrap is only going for $140 a ton, while copper goes for roughly $3 a pound. You do the math. That indicates to me that it is pretty expensive to get the valuable materials out, either in sheer environmental cost or expensive machinery cost. I've been toying with the idea of making electronic recycling sustainable but haven't found a solution yet. Care to share your experience?
Torque and peak horsepower are apples and oranges. A 163hp diesel has a great deal more torque than a 163hp gasoline engine. The general downside with diesels traditionally is that they rev up fairly slowly, but on the same note, they provide a pretty linear torque curve from idle all the way up to the redline, where as a gasoline engine isn't nearly as torquey in the lower revs. Didn't an Audi win the LeMans recently with a diesel engine? If you can clean up the exhaust and maybe run cleaner fuel (biodiesel) diesel engines beat the pants out of gasoline ones in a lot of ways, especially reliability. Check out the wikipedia page it has a pretty good breakdown of the pros and cons.
But we are not at war. Congress has never declared war. Also the Geneva Convention legally does not apply in Iraq and Afghanistan according to the DOJ. It would certainly not be legal to suspend Habeas Corpus in the argument that we are at war.
You mean to tell me you are paying $25 a month?? I'm in pittsburgh, pa and I'm paying $40 a month. Hell, if you were to get digital cable and internet it would be over $100 a month. The other alternative is 768k/128k DSL (1.5mbps if you are lucky). Seeding torrents at 10kb/s is pretty lame.
Sheesh, kids these days!
When I was younger you had to write your own drivers! And we liked it! ~
A wireless usb adapter that "just works" is like what $20? Give me a freakin break already and leave your geek card at the door.
You forgot to mention that these will likely be installed on a huge portion of the desktop market. Better performance than intel's past offerings on the integrated market will be extremely welcome to game developers and who doesn't want to expand their market?
This is certainly true as well. When you manufacture on a smaller fabrication process you can make more CPUs with the same material. Intel spent billions to stay ahead of the curve and it has enabled them to solidify their position. AMD is playing catchup in a serious way and what early gains they made (x86-64, multi-core, low power) have been adopted by intel. Don't worry amd is not going anywhere. Intel will always need a second x86 chip manufacturer in the market to avoid further anti-trust litigation, hence the cross licensing agreements that have handed the AMD64 instruction set to intel. But, hey we all needed a standard and I'm pretty glad the Itanic never really got all that far, along with the 960 and all of intel's other not so great ideas.
Nvidia does indeed have license to x86. They acquired it when they bought all of 3dfx's intellectual property. They in fact manufacture a 386SX clone. Rumors have been persisting that they are looking to enter the x86 market. It should be noted that they are still relative outsiders in that their licensing doesn't extend into the x86-64 instruction set, which is taking over the market now.
Well. What happened? Here in America it is illegal to stare in people's windows if I remember correctly. Peeping tom laws and whatnot. I can't imagine him getting prosecuted for that. Did they admit that they watched for a while before calling the cops?
HERE! HERE!
Listen people. We are getting scammed and the FCC and Congress should likely do something about it. Where are all our tax payer dollars that are earmarked for telecommunications improvements going? Comcast has seemingly done very little to improve its network and honestly a good deal of the time I have pretty terrible throughput (>=1.5mbs) and it certainly seems like they are doing strange things to limit bandwidth still as my torrents have rarely gone over 200kbs lately when I was getting 300-400kbs a month ago, but I've watched downloads from the web crest up to 700kbs or so. Often YouTube is pretty craptacular half the time even. When we first got a cable modem we had some serious slowdowns and upon calling comcast their answer was to upgrade our package. If they can't give reasonable bandwidth at the lower tier why the hell would I pay more? Smells like extortion to me. That's almost the equivalent of selling you a phone that only works part of the time and works less the more you use it and the only way to fix it is to upgrade your line. Is this logical? It is pretty telling when I quit downloading torrents for a week or so and magically my speeds have gone back to normal. I would vastly prefer a QOS schedular that just treated traffic fairly and perhaps gave preference to video and VOIP or something. Surely they could compromise somewhere instead of outright crippling connections that they promise in ads are "unlimited" and "blazing fast." It's Comcastic!
I gotta be honest. I just looked at a lot of expanding earth pages and it really seems no more crackpot than plate tectonics and it also helps explain a few things such as why pangea seems pretty far fetched. I mean a whole sphere of water with one single landmass? It seems the surface would have had to have been more homogeneous than that. Also why are the sea floors so brand spankin new? I do know that at one point a great deal of North America's land mass was inundated with sea water, but that isn't really an explanation as to why the oceans that are present now are basically new. Plate tectonics was considered very crackpot when it came out as a theory. Also take note that these are all still in the theory stage. Plate tectonics has yet to be fully proven.
The law is the law. If the whiny brats at apple want their lunch money and a couple of bucks then let them have it. They worked overtime and obviously have a right to be compensated. Equating this to slavery is pretty overboard though. What about the mexican working in the field down the road making $3 an hour or like $.25 a bushel or something equally ridiculous. Which is still 10x as much as he can make in mexico doing the same thing. Is he a slave? Are you a slave? Aren't we all ultimately slaves? That debt you cannot possibly pay in one paycheck? That rent payment that has to come very month? All these piling bills that you must work to keep above water? You are now an indentured slave. See how easy that works? They chinese railroad workers in the late 1800s were essentially slaves. They were charged more for their food and water than what they actually made. When I go to the grocery store I start to feel more and more that way, especially when I am essentially making minimum wage these days. I am a slave. We all are. Get over it.
IT Companies have all been pushing the client/server model for ages now because as you point out, servers tend to be a great deal more effecient. Thin clients have been around forever. All of this stuff is really nothing new, until you apply it to a home desktop, and if this is the way of the future I will most certainly pass. Could you imagine not being able to do anything because your internet connection was down? At least my applications still all run (mostly) without a network.

We all are. Slowly. Enjoy life while you can!

And I, for one, welcome our new artificial protocell overlords.

I believe you are asking a rhetorical question.
Why does this just sound so wrong?

What's so bad about ubuntu? its basically debian with some spit shine polish.
Well you could always tunnel over an ipv4 network to ipv6. not elegant, but hey it works.

I used 100gb this week! Huzzah! Already over my self imposed 200gb limit....
BTW....is the internet a right or a privilege? Think about it...
