If Linux is going to make it on the desktop this is the way it will happen. Now there is a concentrated effort of programmers (paid ones at that) with a large amount of financial support from a major player in the desktop market.
HP wins because they can now ship a desktop for less and they have more control over the quality of the product which they ship. Win-Win for them unless MS decides this won't do and threaten to increase prices. It will be a long time before a corporate provider of desktops/servers can say no to MS.
-and actually kill the process, nothing pisses me off more when I tell it to kill a process and it can't do it. I said kill it, and it better be killed.
First off I agree ID belongs in religion class and not the science lab.
Secondly I went to many different schools (dad was in the military) and 3 different colleges/Universities. I can assure you teachers are not well trained experts and I would be very afraid if they were able to collectively decide what to teach or even individually able to make this decision.
There are probably 10 teachers I can think of that I would want to make their own standards. The rest would range from mediocre to TV is a better solution. There needs to be a standard. If you want something else then go to a private school.
I am guessing you thought this all out from your view, but think of the other teachers in your staff meetings and tell me do you really want them deciding what children are taught. What about ID teachers, or Muslim teachers, or FSM teachers?
Going to play advocate here but maybe (and this is one of those 1 in 6 billion maybes) he is a really really good artist and using this golden ratio of his he has created a masterful collection that he will soon release and the world will hail him as the new Ansel Picasso.
Not sure what you are doing here on Slashdot. Geeks know that cards to edit movies, create f/x, create art work, and run photoshop are generally not the same cards used for gaming. Those are generally high end workstation graphic cards. Granted you could use a latest generation gaming card to do those same jobs but that would be foolish, and you wouldn't be doing that on a Mac because well they don't do latest generation unless they are upgrading their lineup.
Furthermore you can get a 2nd to last gen card and play most any game except poorly programmed games like Crysis. This goes for Macs as well if the game was released for Mac.
Who cares if you get my spoofed IP address, but what happens when you run into a real member of the FDIC or whatever agency you are pretending to be from. He plays along and has you arrested. Or even if you pull off the fraud and obtain their information they still know what you look like at the least and may get some DNA or fingerprints to put on record.
Not to mention the whole issue of hitting up 100 people in a hour is a bit hard to pull off.
Given the government and the efficiency with which it operates this may well work. By the time they are convicted, sentenced, and marked for execution it will be time for a pardon (which may take another 8 years)
I think you need to read the Bible. The premise of the Bible is Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection. Given the number of versus referring to predestination and God changing the hearts of men and being able to sway kings I would say the free will is not the premise. The Old Testament points to Christ and the New Testament depicts Christ and His teachings.
My Options: 1: Just pull the HD and keep it on your person 2: Pull some other component so it doesn't boot and say it is a non-working laptop 3: Have it boot to a BSOD. (should be easy in Windows)
Good luck with the licensing system. California hands out drivers licenses to illegal immigrants and people trying not to have kids have them. Combine the incompetency of the government with the reality of birth control* and you have a another broken program.
*Short of just killing newborns/aborting unborns which is pretty barbaric and probably won't fly without revolution.
I know Reading TFA is not allowed, but in this case it would have saved this post from being born. Basically Windows 7 will have a VM that will run legacy code.
Personally I rarely buy a CD. There is maybe one band that I will buy a CD from but no amount of downloading music is going to change that. Though at 10-20 cents a song I would buy a lot more music. At a dollar though there isn't much that is worth that much, especially if it has DRM which I have to remove.
If nothing else other than curiosity wonder where mp3fiesta would rank. Given the.10 cents a song price one could download 10 songs for the price of one off iTunes. Not sure how my LP's that equates to, but I am sure the RIAA is trying to hatch a plan to go back to LP's since they aren't as easy to rip to a PC as a CD is.
My brother 7 years old at the time learned to type pepperoni pizza, "howdoyoustartthisthing", and several others...they were all cheats to Age of Empires.
Of course the question is what kind of parent lets their kid cheat!
Say instead we took the same car and replaced the engine with a small 1.2 litre diesel. Now calculating in the cost of the compressed air and comparing it to the cost of diesel to go 1000 miles which is cheaper?
May even debate which is greener considering that the compressed air didn't jump in the tank itself
At least that is what I think he was trying to say. If ATI/NVIDIA knows that everyone will be benchmarking their respective cards using X benchmark why not write drivers that excel in that benchmark. Even further you can create hardware to much the same effect, though given the lead times for hardware design this will be harder.
What the best method for eliminating the discrepancies from those best able to code for a given benchmark is I am not sure but it seems he tries.
Given the RIAA guilty until proven innocent "John Doe" should be able to present what could be a landmark case against the RIAA. Though IANAL sticking to that basic premise would seem to be the most effective way to nullify the MAFIAA.
If the government needs to create a toll to fund a portion of road then it needs to be 100% equal for all. This will ensure that natural demand drives people to other means of transportation. The government is too corrupt and inept to be put in charge of manipulating drivers to force social change.
While we are talking about VRT systems it should also be noted that only the government should be able to levy a toll. The selling of toll roads to private companies (who did not buy the land or pay to have the road built) should be illegal as it allows for the private owners to increase tolls which maximizes profit but drives motorist to side streets which the government then pays the repair cost on. Note that this will happen with varible rate toll systems as well during peak hours.
Considering the byproduct is CO2 we would have to come up with a solution to that problem as well. Granted it is better than having CO2 spewed from each tailpipe concetrated at a single powerplant and in theory contained in some way but for what use?
If you had an advance x-ray machine to examine the carbon fiber fork for indicators of stress and replaced it at 1/2 its tested life expectancy would you trust it? Considering the entire company would go bankrupt if this plane crashed and killed the 500+ on board I think they are on the cautious side.
On-site facility engineers responded and manually started effected generators allowing stable power to be restored at approximately 2:34 p.m. across the entire facility.
If a CFO with at least an MBA cannot make proper use of grammar in an apology letter sent to his paying clients what hope is there. Seriously that is inexcusable next time maybe try proofreading or perhaps have a secretary review it...

The sub 20 watt is referring to peak power draw, under normal operationg conditions it will be 3-5 watts.

I saw a guy on a HD ride a wheelie from the on ramp into traffic on I-80...

This has more to do with stopping cheaters than it does with MS just hates people who mod Xboxes.
