It'd be a brave developer who tried to sell a product with the tag "Now with 30% LESS functionality!" or "Old pages appear like crap!"
But a smart marketer who replaced that with, "New, cleaner API that promotes increased technological understanding."
Similar to replacing "doesn't work with anything else" with "proprietary."
In short, it doesn't matter what the differences between version A and version B of a product are...as long as you have a good marketer, you'll make your sales quota.
If we're going to play with psychological barriers, let's do it in context. 50,000 yen is $467.434. 45,000 yen is $420.660. 40,000 yen is $373.905. Let's say our major psychological barriers are at 10k yen increments, and our minor ones are at 5k yen increments.
From that perspective, it seems likely the Japan price point will be between 40,000 to 50,000 yen, ($375 to $465) or, more likely, between 45,000 to 50,000 yen. ($420-$465)
But you also need to think in a cultural context. Do Japanese consumers comfortably pay more for technology? (Specifically, gaming technology?)
I'm guessing you're talking about hyrdogen-fuelded cars? There's better ways to get the hydrogen.
The same people also by gasoline-electric hybrids that, instead of converting a a great deal of chemical energy to heat energy, actually re-use some of the energy, leading to less waste of the original fuel.
Passwords are merely an additional form of identification that are only valid in the presence of other identification, such as usernames.
Until SSNs can be associated with a relatively secure additional password, they shouldn't be considered as as much of an identifying piece of info as they currently are. Combining them with a government-supplied password that's changed periodically would be a good start. And extend fraud-alert lengths to the duration of the password.
Microsoft has For a while now, Microsoft has been taking out a large number of ads in venues where people follow Linux. You'll see a lot of them on Slashdot, for instance. I even get them in my Linux Magazine and Linux Journal subscriptions.
Not that long-forgotten. In the 90s, a Republican switched to the Independent party to prevent his (former) party from getting the majority. (I don't remember if it was house or senate...I wasn't old enough to be particularly interested in politics at the time.)
He may have garnered national attention, but I don't think he was re-elected the next time around.
Stuff like this typically happens under the guise of federal funding. As in, "If you want federal money for your road infrastructure, you're going to do this."
Yeah, I never understood that. If all you need to program is a specific model of chip, what's so difficult about embedding the burning equipment on the mainboard?
Granted, flash memory made PROM and EPROM BIOS obsolete. Heck...I sometimes wonder if they need the battery backup for anything more than the system clock these days.

I think so. I'd have to look through the last couple issues again to be sure.
I know I have a Windows Services for Unix CD that came with either LM or LJ, but I don't remember which.

...a long career in cybersecurity.
Good time to get into it, too.

It's targeted advertisement.
RvB is a hilarious videocomic.
They still exist in laundromats in Grand Rapids.
At least, they did in 1997. I haven't been to a laundromat since we got a washer and dryer in our apartment. (And subsequently our house.)
...than to have him as the icon for the "Classic Games" category.
I thought it depended on if your model had a cache or not. I know the first model of Celeron didn't...that was one of the reasons it was so cheap.
I've got a Celeron 300 at home, but no board to put it in. Don't know if it's worthwhile.
You could use distilled water and it might work, but the water would have to be very pure and your balls would have to be very brassy.
:)
And the surfaces inside your computer very, very clean. If something disolves, and you wind up with ions in your water, well, it now conducts.
It roughly translates to, "Here are pics of my buddy's computer."
In other words, the rest of the pics aren't his machine, they're someone else's.

They oughta put it on hydraulic pistons. That's what these guys do. Problem is, it's $8 for 10 minutes.
So how is it that someone who kills someone on federal land is eligible for the death penalty when the state the land resides in doesn't have one?
Take national parks in Michigan, for instance. I think there was a case last summer where that combination of circumstances ocurred.
I forgot to mention...he'll kick your ass if you try it. :)
No, but I've got a brother in the Navy.

Take the national speed limit, for example.
It's called a "rider" ... and it's been part of American politics for as long as America's been around.
I just wish the filibuster had held out longer.

With all the power a CPU already uses, who'd notice a few watts more to burn ROM data? :)
