And the reason is Philly deployed its wifi the wrong way --- all the antennas they used are of the cheap kind, plus they never even bother to amplify their signals so that more people can access to it
But then... it's Philly we are talking about, a city which is dying, in a country which is dying
And I purposely put out specially amplified antennas so that users can access my wifi even when they are as far as 2KM from it (provided there's nothing obstructive like a building or a tall tree in between those who access my wifi and where I put up the antennas, that is)
For MIPS and Digital, they have hit the end of the road
For SUN, their end of the road is near
And I am afraid the same would be for the now fabless AMD
One day in not that long in the future we gonna wake up to the fact that only IBM, Intel and some Taiwanese companies (Nvidia, VIA, TSMC) gonna be the only one left still making power processors for the world
And if I am not wrong, IBM may end up not making chips as well
A "bureaucratic" layer is actually necessary, and it's already there
How about patently false entry?
The country I live in is a former British colony, and the official entry on Wikipedia regarding that country is firmly controlled by the government, and the history portion of the entry blames British for everything, something that is patently false
I have tried to correct those mistakes but everytime within 15 minutes the old entry are back, and finally I was warned by someone (supposed to be volunteer for Wikipedia) to STOP meddling with that particular entry
My experience is only for that entry, and God knows how many of such types of patently false information that are purposely displayed in Wikipedia
I've been on/. for quite a number of years (see my number and you know) and I can tell you that lately there are just too many "those kinds" of animal here.
I ain't a Chinese or a Burmese, but as a human being, I can at least _feel_ the pain of those who perished, or injured, or have lost everything in the quake and the typhoon, man.
How can people be so cruel, so heartless, so damn cold blooded...
"did chinese have a heart when beating down tibet protesters just 2-3 weeks ago, and locking them in to prisons for life ?"
So, you wanna play this motherfucking game?
Wanna tell us about how much "heart" the whites have when they kill the Indians in America?
Assholes are always assholes !!!!

The Chinese have almost 1/3 of the world's population. This is for sure nature's attempt to control population in asia. I wouldn't be surprised and really wouldn't mind if that number reaches a few more 0's at the end (atleast 2 or 3 more 0'
Just what type of motherfuckers do we have in/. ???
People are dying and they are saying shits like that.
C'mon !!!
How would you feel if your family got hit by an accident and people standing around and say... it's just a way of population control.
Please think before you speak, motherfucking assholes !!!!!

Not every single drop of the water we use today is formed that way. There are lots of other ways water is formed.
For example: Volcanic activity
Whenever there's some volcanic activity, you see steam coming up. Those are "NEW" water, as Hydrogen streaming out of the earth crust, it mixes with Oxygen in the air, and walla... H2O !
I bet the Kilauea volcano in Hawai'i has given us quite a number of drops of H2O over the years.:)
Of the things you said, the following catches my eyes:

Not that I want don't trust you, but when someone starts telling me a government, be it local, state, federal, or for the entire universe, be "very very lean".... heh !
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry to rain in your parade, but whoever says Wifi doesn't have the range obviously doesn't know what he is talking about
By amplifying the signal with specialized antennas (like omni antennas, for example), one can extend the wifi range to a 2KM radius !
Of course, the farther away the client is from the station, the lower the speed, but it does work !
And the reason is Philly deployed its wifi the wrong way --- all the antennas they used are of the cheap kind, plus they never even bother to amplify their signals so that more people can access to it

Same as Aumatar, I keep mine open

Look, to make your game a success, you don't just develop a game for couple of years without letting it out in the open, y'know?
Let people try it out, set up a forum where they can send in their feedbacks, and then improve the game on the points that make sense
If even crappy games like evony and space odyssey can make it, I doubt why your game can't

You gotta be kiddin !!
Japanese are one of the worst offenders of privacy
ugh !!
i won't blame novell, i won't blame sco, i blame bell labs !
why don't they just open-source that thing in the beginning???
In 2004 or so Samsung announced their FinFET design and claimed that they were going to incorporate their FinFET design into their DRAM chips
It's 2009 now, and Samsung has yet to incorporate FinFET into any of their design
Hmmm........

Think back to 1992, what did we use?
And what are we still using today?
CD !!
I still have music CDs that I purchased in the 1970's that are still usable :)
What then do you expect the admin to say?
"So sorry, we fucked up" ???
I've been on

"Tell me about it.
Not only that, with all the cigarettes they smoke over there, you'd think they wouldn't get the shakes so bad.
Part of the problem has to be that a large part of their economy is built on triads, which aren't the most stable of structures."
What type of SHIT is that ?????
People are dying and you are talking cock ???
Just what type of motherfucker are you ?????
Please pardon my french, but I just can't stand assholes talking nonsense when people are suffering.
"Which is interesting because I could swear China had a Youtube block to prevent such uncontrolled proliferation of footage."
ENOUGH OF THE POLITICAL GARBAGE !!!
People are suffering and all you guys can think of is "youtube block", "human rights", and so on.
C'mon, guys, people are dying there and please, have a heart, wilya ??
Don't you have a heart ? Are you still a human being ?
People are dying and you are still mouthing your political garbage.
Enough !!!!
If a quake gonna rocks, it gonna rocks.
It is unfortunate for those who perished in this quake, but on the other hand, it is also "lucky" that the quake rocks now.
Imagine what would happened if it rocks during the Olympics?
Imagine stadium collapsing, spectators and athletes buried under the rubbles, a global sport event turns into a global nightmare
Imagine that
My prayers for those who lost their lives and are injured, or have lost their properties in this quake.

There are tons of things China has done wrong, but not this one !
Is this a slow news day or what ?
Geeeeesh.
Do you have Samsung TV ? Or Sony camcorders ? Or Olympus digicam ? Or Toshiba freezer ? Or Hitachi home entertainment system ?
All these are made by the teeny people - the Gooks and the Japs.
The motherboard in you PC is most probably made by teeny people too - the Taiwanese.
