WRONG. I've been fishing exactly where these things are supposed to go in. It is very shallow and there is very good fishing. It was windy and rough the day we were out there but there were still dozens of other people out there fishing too. The biggest problem with Cape Wind's plan though is still that they want to use public land to make private money and then still cause the price of power to rise. It's like private loggers getting to cut down public forrests and getting paid by the public to do it.
The physical constraints created by having two processors separated by centimeters instead of microns does come into play here. Two cores on the same chip can communicate at the chips' clock speed instead of dropping down to a slower bus speed to cover the distances. The statement that a dual CPU system can come close to replicating the performance of a dual-core (single chip) package is really unfounded. There is the possibility of sharing on chip resources although then you get into chache read/write conflicts and limitations. It will be cheaper to have one dual core chip than two single core chips. Intel and AMD are also implimenting new smaller device size processes which will at least in the Intel case allow a dual core chip to be the same size as a single core chip now. So you hopefully will end up with roughly twice the computing power with roughly the same energy disipation. So for justifications I would give performance, cost, and heat/power.
This thing is not what I would call a robot. It has no built in...well nothing is built in except the actuator. It's like calling a hand tool a robot. Maybe when they get the power source and some programmability on there it'll be a robot or maybe I'm just being picky.
More importantly I never thought water bugs stayed on the surface by "making tiny waves." I've lived near the water (both fresh and salt) all my life and I've known that bugs walked on water by not breaking the surface tension for as long as I can remember being aware of such bugs. I believe it was explained to me using bubbles and the meniscus seen in a glass of water as visuals. Who was confused about this until 1993?
Every single one of the men serving under Kerry felt he deserved the medals he won. Oh and don't forget that he ACTUALLY SERVED instead of throwing his name around and sitting that whole war out.
I agree. Maybe it was just my area but at any given moment there seemed to be about three times as many stations covering the RNC than the DNC. Then when you tuned in you saw a angry looking white guy badgering guests about how great the GOP is. It was weird. They didn't question things so much as they all held pep rallies.
I'd like to be a main accusser of Bush's National Guard service (as in the lack for an extended period). I have donated no money to either compaign. Thank you. Next.
BU has full ride scholarships for Hockey and I can tell you that they get star treatment (read: someone else does their homework). They also give free rides to sports like rowing but I think most of those are probably donations. That's what they claim anyway.
Dugeon Keeper was definitely more interesting and more fun in my opinion. It was much more playable (no mouse gestures) and you could get into it and enjoy it much quicker. I hated B&W.
I bought Black and White and was amazed at how much people loved it. The mouse driven interface was frustrating as hell when you needed to do something quickly and as other posters have mentioned it all came down to micromanagement and resource gathering. I spent a good 30 hours playing it before I gave up trying to have any fun with it. In game cut scenes were long, annoying, and could not be skipped. The game was hardly revolutionary although it made taking out the garabage and doing dishes seem like fun.
In reguards to aerospace, the newer Migs can still out manuever US fighers. Of course with other modern technologies that isn't really a big deal and the Russians don't have money for fuel so their pilots can even train but the planes are still better in some ways.
I definitely don't agree with the 50 year estimate either way and I'm not sure what you mean by "nuclear technologies" but I don't think we've done anything significant since the sustained controlled reaction.
I've lived in Boston and Cincinnati. I don't consider either of them rural although I suppose Cincinnati could be considered suburban. Neither of them have anything CLOSE to 100Mb connections available to consumers for a reasonable price.
Commence fighting over what a resonable price is.
I worked at Bestbuy for a summer so I got a fairly complete view what employees are expected to do and what not. I've also shopped there both before I worked there and since. I don't think anything in the parent post is really surprising. That's all pretty standard. Employees really don't make commision but obviously if they push for more PSP and sell more cables they'll rise in the company much faster. The part about the merch manager isn't really correct (I worked on Merch). Generally the merch team worries about cleaning the shelves and making things neater. I don't think Bestbuy is even a good buy usually but if you want/need something immediately it is often the best choise. Do people really expect to have honest and courteous sales people this day in age? Maybe I just got used to it while working there.
What's even worse is that the girl didn't drown. She was still alive in the car due to a trapped air bubble. Ted went back to the party and told his friends/lawyers what had happened and they told him to go home and sober up and turn himself in the following morning, which he did. The divers found the girl inside the car holding her head up. There was no water in her lungs. She simply ran out of air. Had he gone directly to the police there's a possibility she could have survived. Don't beleive me? I ought to know, I grew up on the Cape in a village adjacent to Hyannisport. We're well informed when it comes to our local heros/villains.
Well a 12" ibook or powerbook is much harder to fit in a pocket and in fact will probably require that you carry an additional bag. If you're travelling by air you might already have your two carry ons so rather than having to check a bag someone can just slip this into their pocket and they can still do their web stuff. I have a laptop but I can't bring it with me when ever and where ever I go because it isn't pocket friendly.
This is quite the collection of unsubstantiated statements. Setting up a US-Western friendly (two totally different things since most "western" countries were/are against US involvement in Iraq) government in Iraq has made and will make more people hostile towards the US. Or do you think 9000+ dead Iraqis is good friendship building?
So, why not Saudi Arabia?...
This whole paragraph makes my head spin. Why is it unreasonable to ask a congress person if they'd send their kids to die in a war they endorse? That should be what they're thinking when they decide to back a war or not anyway. Saudi Arabia isn't a potential target because of all the money they have invested in US banks and businesses. But lets remember that 14 (of the 19) hijackers from 9/11 were Saudi Arabian. The ideology of Saddam's regime was not congruent with that of Al Queda. He was viewed as not a "real" Muslim by hard line Islamic fundamentalists. It is the kind fundamentalists flourishing in Saudi Arabia which are quite apparently a direct threat.
I think it's obvious that the world economy needs the oil of the mid east but I don't see how pissing off as many middle eastern government as possible (see Israel and war on Iraq) is good foreign policy.
The tribal groups you mention were abused and apposed by Saddam's regime largely because they were so extreme and (just as they are now) refused to live with and accept the ideology of others. So we are (just as the previous regime was) forced to take extreme measure and kills lots of "evil rebels."
I'm sure some real security holes will turn up but the two flaws mentioned in the post are pretty lame. One requires that a user save an attachment, open a command prompt window and drag and drop the file into said window. I help people with their computers over the phone all the time and they have trouble openning a command prompt (run>cmd) and probably wouldn't accept that as a reasonable thing to do with a file they've been emailed. Maybe I'm giving too much or too little credit to most users but the second "flaw" doesn't even have a valid attack vector according to the article. These sound to me like ways someone might screw up a computer if they TRY but they certainly don't seem like OS problems since both would require the user to do some pretty dumb things.
Way to back me up. I said radio waves aren't used and as you pointed out they are not. Also if you do things using matched pairs then you'll kill the signal through deconstructive interference so this is something that can be and is avoided.
It uses capacitance links to communicate instead of a direct wire. "Radio waves" aren't used. Two wires near (depends on currents, frequencies, etc. and in this case we're talking about microns) each other can have effects on each other as if they were linked when operating at high frequencies. Remember that a capacitor looks like a wire at high frequencies and essentially two wires next to each other are connected by a capacitor.
It decided that I obviously didn't want to use any other program to do anything related to music. If I put a CD in the computer it started and I was unable to find a menu option to disable this. It terms of being a jukebox it offers nothing I can't get from Winamp which is less bloated and has more plugins. I'm not sure what you're using to quantifying "efficient" but it definitely took up too much of everything to be used as anything other than maybe a music store and I have no interest or need to buy my music using it. It did nothing better and many things worse than smaller more expandable programs like winamp. If you compare it to Musicmatch it wins hands down because Musicmatch is worse in every respect but if you're not going to buy music with it there is no reason I can see to use it.
GREAT I can use iTunes in Linux now...wait why do I want to use iTunes? I don't have an iPod and don't want to buy DRM infected music. I installed iTunes on a windows machine to download free songs won off a Pepsi top and it was such a terrible program I just removed it before getting my free song.
And then all the techs and construction workers could be forced to live at the poverty line just like Wal-Mart's cachiers. http://niagarabuzz.com/article_447.shtml Then they wouldn't have enough money to buy a computer, much less the broadband they had helped to install. Then all the other broadband providers could be forced out of business causing people to lose their jobs or join the ever expanding Wal-Mart Broadband company and slip to the poverty line as well. It'll be justlike their retail stores.

Thank you for being a good teacher.
Not a direct reply but the parent post mentioned MIT. In Boston the homeless people have to make more than $15K a year or they end up pidgeon food.
