If you're building a EMP weapon you know to shield all of your own electronics, so they'd survive just fine. No one else would have shielded electronics.
I'd love to see a "fighting vehicle" with EMP capabilities. WHAM, all computer components and electronics, like fuel injection, in the other vehicles are disabled. I win.
Well, it would probably be silent, not WHAM.
And it wouldn't make for great tv viewing, since it would melt all the equipment recording the scene. Still, that would rock. Wonder if the rules specifically prohibit such genius.
I think that would exceed the recommended operating temperatures for your hardware.
But on the up side, we might see the head (?) of your box on Futurama..;-)
By that standard I have a perpetual motion machine on my wrist. My swatch can and has run for more than two years without any intervention.
Not a good standard.
Although I agree that it is a good way to weed out lame hoaxes, so you can focus your analytical attention on the well thought out and designed hoaxes.
If you're going to have USB, why not provide the capability to use external storage? That would rock, but it doesn't sound like they are doing that. From the web page: 2 USB expansion ports to connect to peripheral devices like digital cameras, network adaptors, MP3 and CD players, etc.
Etc???
It couldn't be, because AOL is deeply committed to your security. We use state-of-the-art technology to keep your personal information as secure as possible. We also have put in place privacy protection control systems designed to ensure that the personal data you share with AOL is safe and private. In addition, AOL keeps your password strictly confidential, and all authentication for the Service is performed on AOL's secure servers. Sites participating in the Service may not collect or store AOL password information.
If your cable company doesn't do HD you can go over the air (OTA) using an antenna. That varies by area and distance.
This is a great site to find out what stations you can pick up with an antenna. Enter your address and it will give you which stations you can get with different antennas, both standard and HD broadcasts. I've been shopping hdtv's, too, and this helped a lot.
Seriously, when was the last time you saw an IBM desktop? As a computer professional, having seen and worked in many different offices in the last few years, I can't even remember the last time I saw one. Laptops, yes, plenty. Servers, yes, a few. Desktops, none. They had already lost the battle there, this is just the nail in the coffin.
That we don't want our own genes patented by some company is exactly why the government should be in there competing. If the gov't makes a discovery first the discovery becomes part of the public domain, whereas if a private company discovers something first they patent it, and no one else can use it without licensing the "technology".
Of course, the development of new versions of Linux follows exactly the same process used by Microsoft; the key difference being that the network of developers that came up with Windows XP is internal - solely comprised of employees of Microsoft and its key partners - while Linux isn't the property of a single company.
That is ridiculous. The development processes couldn't be more different. Please.
I'm not a game programmer, but my current project is a simulation with lots of trajectories, global coordinates, points of view, and interactions. This sounds like the perfect reference for what I've been doing. It's going on the xmas list. I only wish the reviewer had told us what language the examples are in.

...use less power then a traditional rotary fan. They move less air then the traditional fan...
Than, THAN, THAN, T-H-A-N!!!!!
Learn it, use it.
less power THAN
less air THAN
This is only the millionth time you've made that mistake. Very slow learner.
It's English, your native language, using it correctly is better THAN looking like an idiot.
And fire your copy editor, he or she is totally unqualified.
I don't know enough about the syndrome to know if it is passed on through genes
Umm, that's basically what the whole article was about.
From the Article:
"The one thing that almost all researchers in the field agree on is that genetic predisposition plays a crucial role in laying the neurological foundations of autism in most cases. Studies have shown that if one identical twin is autistic, there's a 90 percent chance that the other twin will also have the disorder. If parents have had one autistic child, the risk of their second child being autistic rises from 1 in 500 to 1 in 20. After two children with the disorder, the sobering odds are 1 in 3."

You've got it backwards.

More likely it's Korean. I get tons of Korean spam.
