I think the quote is missing one key word CORRECT. You can produce much more correct software using a structured design by contract methodology then you can using traditional code, debug, fix cycles.
Huh? The piston is a fairly crappy use of steam power and is not seen very much today. The turbine on the other hand is a very efficient way to handle steam and the Aeolipile is an example of a reaction turbine. The biggest drawback of the Aeolipile is that it is a single stage turbine, to get the most efficient transfer of power from the steam you need a multistage turbine.
Huh? JDAM's are dirt cheap. The unit cost for JDAM's are ~$18,000 per. The project cost over the units supplied is $60K, but the answer is not another expensive project, it's to make more of the cheap per unit kits =)
WTF are you talking about? The port operator has ZERO to do with security! Security is run by the FBI, Homeland security, and the Coast Guard, not by the operators. If being unloaded later in the day is the way to get around security then there IS no security, because as we keep preaching security by obscurity is no security at all. You either have a secure process which doesn't require the participation of the shipper, or you don't have security.
Actually 2003 Enterprise and Datacenter have the optional WSRM windows system resource manager which allows you to limit the amount of resources which a particular app can take including threads launched. There are third party apps which can do similar things for standard, which is usefull for TS/Citrix environments. So Windows has all the architectural things in place for resource management, just not the tools as a standard component installed by the default install.
High Poly models require more of everything: disk space, RAM, video RAM, video bandwidth, and video processing speed. High quality lighting requires ray tracing which just isn't possible in realtime with current generation equipment. So, the video card manufacturers will do what they can to enhance your experience within the framework of what is currently possible.
Or, simply tell them you are traveling to Europe where they have shitty roaming capabilities, as long as you have been with them over a month they will usually give you the code. If they don't then hang up and call back, chances are a second CSR will.
If riot police aren't worried about the random rock or bottle damaging their fragile head or a random punch hitting them in the chest it is MUCH easier for them to use proportional and appropriate force. If you fear for your safety your fight or flight response will kick in and you will do what you have to to end the threat, however if you are a heavily armored warrior you can use the cerebral part of your brain to make sure that you use apropriate action.
The whole scripted event at the end of the quest "Ammo for Rumbleshot" is hilarious. It's another low level event that shows how much promise the engine would have if they didn't feel the need to add yet more grinding content.
I had the same experience once. Went to an Indian place in LA recomended by the Indian bartender at the hotel. I asked for my curry Indian hot, and I got it. Felt good going down but the after-affects were enough to make me never want food that hot again.
If you have a 30% failure rate you are doing something SERIOUSLY wrong. My tape system does a verify of data every night and I just had my first failure in a year recently. We clean our drive biweekly and have another system at our DR site which we send tapes to regularly to test. I've never failed to recover a file. I've had similar experience with every enterprise tape system I've ever used from reel-to-reel to DAT to LTO.
Huh? How does that follow. We haven't modeled protein folding yet we can model car crashes fine. Just because we can't get a good answer at a very small scale does not mean that we can't get a good one at a larger scale with more loosly defined criteria. I mean even after we model a large protein folding we still won't necessarily understand what is happening at the quark level in that same simulation but it won't make the results any less valid.
Actually XP64 DOES support EFI, the problem is that the Apple rigs are designed around a 32bit only chip. The other problem is that Apple for whatever reason decided not to include the optional legacy BIOS support profile in their EFI setup.
I'm not sure where the heck you live, but the cost to build even a modest house is WAY more than you state. I was looking to buy a 1-2 acre lot in a semi-rural area around Cleveland and the cost to build a decent (not great) 1,200 square foot ranch was around $42-45,000 depending on the builder and materials chosen. Building a $300K home would probably cost over $150K, but if you can get the land that cheap then it probably still makes sense.
Duh, it's a propaganda piece for Trusted Computing Platform. If they want a way to convince people to lock themselves out of their own system through software-hardware integration what better boogyman then a super-duper undetectable spyware. Obviously the spyware wouldn't be able to install a boot loader if it didn't have an authentication key and the hardware required such a key to boot...
$2500 won't buy you CRAP for serious server storage. I spent $5,100 just on drives and only got 720GB of RAID5 15K RPM storage, this doesn't include the server or RAID controller. To support a much larger server you are looking at 10's of thousands.
Cars are MUCH better made today then they were 20 years ago. Back then a car getting to 100K miles was unusual, today it's unusual if it doesn't. Besides that they are safer, more fuel efficient, higher powered and have more creature comforts. People wax nastalgicly for the "good old days" but if you put them into a car of that era most would be absolutly horrified with how bad they were.
$39.99 for 1,000 minutes per month, unlimited mobile to mobile, and unlimited night and weekends. No data or SMS included though. Of course that plan only started with 250 minutes per month but I worked every code I could find and then got them to throw on some more for coming on to a contract for one year whereas I hadn't had one for four years of so. T-mobile has that kind of pricing without all the hassle I had to go through with Cingular but they don't have coverage where I am.
The only problem I see with that is the very real problem of lack of space in CO's. Co's aren't designed to be colo facilities, and doing so would be a long and costly process if possible, and in many parts of the country like Manhatten it simply isn't.
3Mbps up and down doesn't cost $100/month, not reliably anyways. Why do you think a T-1 with half that bandwidth costs $500+/month? My company is in a number of areas with competing providers and even then you don't get bandwidth and connectivity that cheap unless you are buying a BIG pipe, but that doesn't allow for customer service to lots of customer and the cost of covering all that area of line.

Acutally Eiffelsoft has some great case studies from companies like HP that back up their claims.

They are, if the alternative to $100K smart shells is $18K smart bombs from a carrier then the best tool seems obvious.

How is HDD cheaper than tape? 400/800GB LTO3 tapes are $100, 400GB HDD's with no harware compression are $200+.
Yep, the dry lakebeds have saved many, many test pilots lives and many expiremental planes. More info can be found at the Edwards AFB website.

Actually due to power factor correction it would be more than one kilowatt as measured by your power company.
