Um, there are PLENTY of hot chicks at MIT, having brains does not make you unattractive and MIT is the elite of the elite so they can be selective for well rounded very smart people. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of basement dwelling nerds there, but from my campus visits and all of the tv shows I have seen they aren't even the majority. Think head chearleder who was in all honors/AP classes with a near 4.0 while also being an officer of 6-8 other clubs/groups, that's the people that get into MIT.
Unless Adobe majorly changes direction wrt supporting non x86 platforms it WILL lose the race. More and more people are consuming content on non-PC platforms and people are starting to not care that their device doesn't support flash, they are starting to demand that content providers offer an alternate container. A prime example is Google with youtube which now streams standard x.264 which while originally meant for iPhone support is being used more and more for all sorts of devices (I use it on my BB).
Hmm, it's a grey area, under the AHRA " Section 1008. Prohibition on certain infringement actions
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.
So you should be ok as long as the transfer happens via a covered device, email probably wouldn't cut it but a CDR probably would. You would also need to make sure you made less than 10 copies of any given work since that automatically makes the copying commercial.
Exactly, having worked for one horrible company where one of their divisions was the "sole licensed provider in insert state here" for one of these behavioral tests I can say that it is unlikely that I will EVER work for such a company again (the exception would be if I was out of a job long enough to deplete my savings and needed the job to feed my family, during the last recession I went 7 months without a job so I don't think that will happen). Including me and the junior admin they hired shortly after me they went through three 100% technical staff changes in four years! You'd think their personality test would allow them to select a better match for their messed up management style =) Always remember that interviews are a two way process, they should be as much about you deciding if you want to work for the company as it is about them deciding if they want to hire you.
From what I've heard NCR also has a kickass retail BI database/mining suite for large retailers. I've never personally seen it but I'm going by reputation.
That's GREAT news for AMD, it is now assured that they will NOT go under in 2009. Damn and I was worried that a slowing economy combined with the Corei7 Xeon's in 2H were going to be too much for them, guess I was wrong =)
Huh? MS now offers full support for any MS product running on ESX 3.5, this is a very big deal for VMWare as a lot of shops that were a bit shy for support reasons now don't have that excuse. MS had to do this to avoid getting beaten up by the EU (and possibly a Dem DOJ) over HyperV. Btw Citrix Xen, Suse Xen and Cisco WAAS are also certified.
EVERY AV vendor has had at least one semi-major screwup in the last decade. McCafee, Trend, Symantec, F-Secure, Sophos, etc they've all managed to screwup Windows with an overly aggressive DAT update somewhere along the line. That's why I use to suggest Sophos to clients, they were UK based so the generally had DAT updates for the Asian plague dejur by the time the east coast woke up and we subscribed to a couple of sites where we would find out if they had a bad DAT before the clients got into the office so the harm could be avoided. Unfortunately their engine and updates got so bad they were beat by a number of the free scanners so it was hard to justify paying their fairly high prices.

Likewise the western desert is amazing, both on the far side of Death Valley from Vegas as well as about halfway between Vegas and the North Rim. The scenery there is great during the day and at night you get some of the best views of the night sky possible due to extremely low moisture and the lack of any human activity.
Wow, you probably spend almost as much as the card in electricity every year if you run it full out 24x7 even during the summer! Also from what I've seen you actually get better game performance by running with PhysX turned off on the graphics card, you use your underutilized CPU cores and main memory bandwidth instead of precious shaders and graphics memory bandwidth. Perhaps this card actually can do PhysX AND something like Crysis full detail at 1080p though =)
So it gets slaughtered by any decent sized auto for fuel efficiency? For vacation I put my two kids and the wife in either the minivan or sadan depending on trip length, the minivan gets 22mpg or 88 passenger-miles per gallon of fuel and the sedan gets 25mpg or 100 passenger-miles per gallon. Neither vehicle is particularly fuel efficient but they are big enough to be comfortable on extended trips (I have done 700 miles round trip in the sedan and 3600 miles in the minivan). The van can do even better for short trips, we recently did a 500 mile round trip mini-vacation with my folks so it got about 120 passenger-miles per gallon or twice as efficient as the plane. Not to mention that JP-1 has significantly higher energy density than gasoline so getting so much lower efficiency is increased by ~20% in overall available energy wasted. The only justification for airlines is time saved and their ability to cross large bodies of water.
Thanks to the inconvenience of air travel a train doesn't have to go 500mph to compete with the airlines. A trip via Accella is often faster than the equivalent trip by plane because it goes from city center to city center and doesn't have the security theater surrounding it.
The Opteron 838x (shanghai) stomps all over anything available from Intel, they won't have a part that competes until 2H'09 at the earliest when they get the Xeon Corei7 working.
Because unlike Vista there will actually be a sizable number of people with non-X64 chips upgrading. Win7 performance on marginal systems is actually often better than XP and it will actually be supported with patches which XP won't be about a year after Win7 ships.
MS hasn't had DLL hell since Windows 2000 for well behaved applications and it got even better in each version since. The machinations you had to go through back in NT4 to get every DLL at the correct patch version was very horrible, now there is a backend repository for OS files that keeps track of the newest file version and won't let them be overwriten under normal circumstances. As far as the keyboard driver quip, Windows 2000 on up support generic USB-HID devices just fine so unless your keyboard is non-standards compliant it should work just fine, even extended media keys work without a specific driver.
I'm on 8Mbps and have peaked at 1MB/s downloads so almost 125% of rated bandwidth. This after a free upgrade from 6Mbps, and upload went from 300Kbps to 1Mbps which is great for torrents and VoIP. I like my ISP when my AP department sprung the requirement on me to get a detailed bill to pay for my internet service they overnighted me the detailed billing report after I explained to someone at the head office the situation, Wide Open West (WOW) rocks. The only knock I have on them is their default DNS service is of the hijack variety but they do have ones without the feature as well as allowing DNS out to anywhere (I used L3's as I have never seen them go down in a decade of use, they must be a well run transparent cluster).

I wish they would design a BlackBerry that didn't have a camera for both gov't contractors and employees to use while at work.
Um, they do it's called the 88x0, also the Bold models ending in 5 are sans camera.
Huh, a 10MP NEF is about 9MB which should take 4-5 seconds over 802.11g.

That's compared to XP SP3, SP2 is still the fastest MS OS currently supported (well possibly 2008 SP1 depending on what you are trying to do).

Aren't the GP7200's the more efficient (better) engine for the A380?

I like the idea of feeding the output of coal/gas power plants into algae farms, you get two sources of power from one carbon input.

Um, did you RTFA? It has ultra wideband DVI for working untethered from the display.
Trackpads universally suck IMHO, give me trackpoint any day.
