We wont desparage Italians. How can we when there
are Italian heros like Fabrizio Quattrocchi? The
Italians may be many things; but they aren't cowards. Even in WWII Italian food remained
popular and was never renamed. The "Freedom Fries" is due to the perfidy and cowardice of the French.
Sugar isn't used because of the HUGE subsidy our Democratic Congress put on sugar in the 1970's to save a few hundred farming jobs in Lousiana. This caused the loss of over 50000 manufactureing jobs in the Candy industry, as well as the "New Coke" fiasco. The US pays about 5x the world market price for sugar. Its so bad that it is cheeper to import sweetened drinks from Mexico and distill the sugar out of them than buy the sugar(and this has been done even though it is illegal smuggling.) So our current congress has furthered the subsidy by giving money to sugar beet "farmers"(think corporations) in California in the last budget bill to fund our soldiers. When the corn grower industry(more big corporations) figured out they could make a sweetener they lobbied to continue the price subsidy for sugar. Of course the widespred usage of corn syrup happens to co-inside with the large increses in type II diabetese and obesity in this country. This price subsidy is also killing our efforts for ethanol fueled cars. Ahhh the joys of unintended consequenses. When will liberals learn that there will always be unintended consequences to government solutions to problems?
Nothing to see here; Ti02 is already the major whitening component in all paints. You're already using it when you paint your house. This doesn't change the demand for it at all. Move along.
DMCA doesn't speak to un-encumbered media. The RIAA would be pissed, but MS wouldn't be breaking any law; They wouldn't be running any service. They might have to pay the digital recorder tax, but that would be about it.
If the RIAA keeps with the filing on this that may keep them from claiming ANY attorney's fees on ANY future claim. They are saying that they can't break out what the attorney's fees are; therefore they can't ask for them if they ever prevail on a copyright claim. This is incredibly bad for them.
If the site was to gather Ideas to help Dell meet customer's needs and improve their quality then it is indeed a failure.
If the site was to show Microsoft that the biggest gripes their customers have are with Microsoft's products on Dell's systems and therefore Dell should be getting the products for free or be payed to install them, then the site was a success.
Showing evidence that the second is the case on the site in question destroyes the leverage with Microsoft so must be removed. Remember Dell used to every year float the rumour of switching to AMD during their negotiations with intel and kept the lowest prices on intel parts for darn near a decade doing so. But intel had much more leverage with Dell than Microsoft does. For that decade AMD didn't have the capability to produce the volume Dell requires. There is no equivalent problem for Dell to move away from MS.
Microsoft needs dell more than dell needs microsoft. Corporate customers negotiate their own licenses with MS. Dell could stop selling any MS product and ship Linux to their home users and Microsoft loses huge. Dell is just afraid to support Linux on their systems. As it is now its easier to blame MS than to have to actually support a customer.
That should have been the headline. Dell used to do this
With Intel all the time. They would rumour that they
were going to use the new AMD chips and then negotiate a
better deal from Intel. It took over 8 years of this before
Intel finally called their bluff and Dell started buying
AMD Chips. Dont expect an increase in Linux from Dell anytime soon.
Sure there is; just recycle all the platinum used in the catalytic converters on current cars. Every car produced in the last 30 years has a couple grams of platinum in it already. Plating your anode/cathodes in platinum shouldn't use more than a catalytic converter does today.
Wait; does windows finally have a single root filesystem? You said it had a user folder in the root drive; Does that mean they have finally gotten rid of the abomination of multi root fs and it is single root? No more C:?
I thougt this was about this video about the Wii and PS3 And I thought: why would sony expect this to be positive marketing. Then I realized it was about something else. But I guess its all viral marketing, just some is better than others.
The long term storage of tape is over-rated. It is just as prone to failures as optical disk; in fact it can be worse since it has such a high maintanence requirements. Besides who has a 1TB tape drive out now and how much does the medium cost? Tapes currently, not counting the drive cost more per GB than the hard disks that are backed up to them. Even enterprise SCSI disks dont cost much more than the tape media.
They don't have enough time to be successful integrating a Windows Linux before Linux becomes a major player in the desktop. If Vista had been what you suggest they would pull it off. All the evil DRM in vista, all the problems it will cause over the next 4 years which is the time frame they would need to make a Windows Linux and it will be too late. Instead of it being "ooh I can run office on linux and its easier to configure MS's Linux this is great" it will be a "so what I've been doing all this for years."
Hey dont forget the magnet field caused by those 10550 amps, also dont forget the forces caused by the magnetic field on the current in the lines. That would have to be some seriously re-inforced connection spot to keep it from being ripped from the car. I wonder what this would do to someone with a pacemaker nearby?
If this happens, though, use of "gate" as a suffix is strictly forbidden, because that's just silly.
The correct usage for -gate is only for a Republican(or sometimes conservative) scandal. HP is neither therefore -gate would not be correct.
Incidently the suffix for a Democrat(or sometimes liberal) scandal is very arcane (due to media bias against reporting and spiking of those stories), but is -aquiddick.
This isn't true. Those fixed times are almost always slower than the average response time on a non realtime os. The real-timeness adds overhead, thus slower execution and less throughput than a gpos. The only place a real-time system is faster than a general purpose is in the worst case wich is bounded in on the real time os but can be quite large and is usually unknown on a gpos.
I like how sceintiest have redifined "recorded history" to mean in the last 200 years. Who knew that all those ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese never recorded any of their history! Neither did mideaval Norseman, and Europeans apparantly! Wow history class should be MUCH shorter now. No need to learn about the Norse colonization of Greenland and Iceland when the climate was warmer than today. It wasn't recorded! Pay no attention to those Norse Epics; They dont really exist
I would bet theat the same people develop cheats as the spam software.
1. Develop software cheat.
2. Package it with spam zombie.
3. distribute for free.
4. Sell spam services
5. profit.
Can you name one country including the muslim ones that has not had a muslim attack in recent history?
Canada.
While technically true; It is misleading. The Canadians just foiled a plot to assassinate the Prime Minister of Canada. So while the attack didn't happen, it was attempted.
The truth is there aren't any countries that don't have attacks from Muslim terrorists. From China, Russia, United States, Great Britain, France, Sweden, The Phillipines, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakastan; all of these have had attacks. If a country isn't being attacked its simply because they are lower on the list not off the list.
I am starting to think that the IAU hired a very good PR firm.
They are milking this for all its worth. But its starting to seem
that all this is, is a publicity stunt. I bet they end up with more
funding for all this too.

If the PS3 is a Mercadies, then the Wii is a Miata and the Xbox is a Mustang GT. So which is the most fun?

You haven't been reading the comments there have you? Its just as entertaining. Mostly the same people posting in both really.

Dont worry with the search just go read groklaw.net; its all there.
