Open top three-wheeler. 2004 reg. Italian design and craftsmanship. Zero mpg. No emissions. Easy parking. Programmable steering (Emphasis mine)
Not to pick nits, but shouldn't it have infinite miles per gallon? Zero miles per gallon implies that, no matter how much gas you put in it, it'll never go anywhere.
I would think a large factor in the decision against making games on bootable CDs is that the companies would have to provide a lot of drivers: for video, sound, networking - you name it. Even with basic drivers, people couldn't use there gaming machines to their full capability without the installed drivers from nVidia and ATI. To the game publishers, it's much easier to release a game for PS2, GameCube, or XBox.
The problem with pigeons is that they don't scale well over large distances. Not only does packet delivery take much longer for when distance is increased, but reliability goes way down, too.
So while regular wired methods might not work nearly as quickly over short distances, they're much better to be used internationally.
Oh wait, what's that foot mean next to the article...?
No, it's not shocking at all really. Since Jeb decided to refuse the right to vote to a lot of African American and Hispanic Democrats. From Wikipedia:
57,700 voters were incorrectly listed as felons on a "scrub list" and thus their votes were not counted. (In some cases, the alleged felonies were dated several years after the election and the vast majority of the listed were not felons.) These persons were disproportionately Democrats of African-American and Hispanic descent. While the story was widely reported from November in countries such as the UK, the US media refused to publish it until many months after the elections.
Since Bush won by 537 votes in Florida, a mere 1% of these voters would likely have swung the vote into Gore's favor.
With all due respect, I care a *lot* more about what the Supreme Court says on the matter than I do about what an AC tells me (without any evidence, mind you). That said, I also care a great deal more about what a biologist says on the matter than what the Supreme Court says.
Disclaimer: I don't really care whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. I'm much more interested in how much they cost and where I can find the best ones.
Perhaps these numbers are true for water, but they're certainly not true for all materials. Since all materials have different densities, the definitions of "meter" or "ton(ne)" would have to be dynamic for each material.
How about freeze second. I had a very similar problem in my current box, so I know that "tock" sound pretty well. In my case, my power supply was apparently not able to run all of my drives at the same time. With this in mind, I'd like to recommend that you try it with a stronger power supply before performing any operations on it. Do it for the hard drive's sake.
Mine was "Fly" by Sugar Ray. I downloaded it before I had a sound card, cause I knew I was getting one soon. The only reason I remember is that WinAmp would load my MP3s chronologically, so Sugar Ray would always start out on top.
My experience with Winamp 5 was pretty terrible. I Unlike version 3, the installation of Winamp 5 overwrote Winamp 2. It turns out 5 has gotten rid of some of the little features that I always liked about 2. For instance, the single-click playlist buttons are gone. I also was unable to find any option to load all of the filenames upon being added to the playlist. Winamp 5 prefers to load each filename one...at...a...time. With my 1000 or so MP3s, it's a rather long process. Just as in Winamp 3, I don't find the media library at all useful. Needless to say, I'm now back to using Winamp 2. Long live earlier releases...
Sub-atomic particles are simply vibrations in quantum strings... Oh yes, how simple.
Not to be rude, as I'm sure you know what you're talking about, but quantum mechanics is by no means simple. At least to me, QM intuitively seems much more like a drug-induced philosophy than the reasonable, simple way of things.
The difference is that, in the yellow pages, people are looking to spend their money. In search engines, this may or may not be the case. If I'm looking for information on how to fix my computer, I [personally] do not first want to see a bunch of ads about buying a new computer.
It might be worth mentioning that very few people will look at all 8,782,246 results of a search. Personally, I usually stick to the first million...
I actually thing that most people don't go past the first two or three pages of a search (I know I don't unless I really have to), so 10% might be a gross under-estimate.
I, for one, agree with you that it would be nice to know what you're getting into before downloading. I'm not sure why everyone is so up-in-arms about letting you see what the selection is, but it seems like a legitimate complaint. If you have a very specific taste in music, for example, it could just be a waste of time downloading and installing iTunes just to uninstall it a few minutes later.
God asks only two things of people (according to Christian theology): that we love one another as he loves us--that is to say, firmly but forgivingly--and that we accept him on faith.
Just out of curiousity, what good does that second bit do for anyone? Clearly if we all love one another and treat each other with respect, that can make the world a better place, stop hunger and war, etc. But what about accepting that God exists? This sounds like something either to boost His ego or o make sure we don't realize that He doesn't exist.
*Disclaimer: In the interest of not being a hypocrite, I do treat others with love and respect, and do not believe in God.*
I completely disagree with your logic, but your conclusion isn't entirely wrong. Many people, myself included, will look for a CD at a used CD shop first before attempting to buy it at full price. If you go to the used CD shop and buy the last copy of a CD, someone might go in, see that it's not there, and then go buy it from Barnes and Noble or wherever else.
Conclusion: Don't buy used CDs to screw over the industry. Buy them because they're cheaper, and because it helps local business.
First of all, moving to 14 bits from 12 adds quite a bit of room. Sure not as much as 96 but still. The move to 14bit is happening next year.
This is true, but eventually, in maybe 10 or 20 years, the 14 digit codes will also run out. The people at MIT understand the costs of upgrades, so they figure why not do it only once.
Second, they ramble on about "labeling every can of coke" but they never mention how much it'd cost to label a 10c can of coke.Yes they do. They mentioned that MIT is working on reducing the cost per EPC/RFID pair from nickels and dimes to fractions of a penny, since consumers would rather not tolerate an across-the-board price increase.

Wow, that would be pretty cool if I didn't get seizures scrolling down the page. Somebody needs to hire a graphic designer.

A friend of mine has a dial to control fan speed on her computer, but it isn't hooked up, so you can just play with it. Similar idea, very fun...

In all fairness, I haven't noticed a dupe on Slashdot for an awful long time. They've certainly gotten better. Kudos to Taco and the gang.
