Companies try to reduce costs not just being freeing up the reserve funds allocated for covering repairs/relpacements (as several users have pointed out)...
But that they will reduce quality controls and the quality of parts so they fail at any point as long as it beyond the supported date...
I guess I can accept a life time of ~4 years on HDs, but 1-2 years would be insane.
Of course if you read The Space.com article
You learn that "An international team of astronomers photographed the star as it zoomed around the galactic center at speeds ultimately exceeding 11 million mph (5,000 kilometers per second). Early this year, the star flitted precariously close to the black hole, coming within 17 light-hours, or just three times the distance from the Sun to Pluto."
Where the totally incorrect SIZE=3x our solar system came from
Damn journalists!
As they say later "'We are far from being able to image the event horizon,' Shoedel said, adding that the star's closest brush with the black hole equates to a radius about 2,100 times larger than that calculated for the event horizon."
From Gsu.edu Astrophysics:
Any mass can become a black hole if it collapses down to the Schwarzschild radius... The Schwarzschild radius (event horizon) just marks the radius of a sphere past which we can get no particles, no light, no information.
R= 2(MG)/ c^2
Therefore at 3.7 million solar masses...
the Schwarzschild radius is 1.0919401548997975x10^10 M
Which is much smaller than our solar system (the earth orbits at 150,000,000 KM).
But I imgine that they would measure the Acreation Disk.....
The Schwarzschild radius calulation is fun. One can plot density verses radius and it becomes clear that something the size of our galaxy with density of water would be a black hole...
The immediate reason he died (Embolism, heart attack , whatever) is less important than the circumstances that caused it.
Stupid actions (taking stimulants, sitting for 86 hours) are the fault of people who make stupid choices. If he died of a natural or diease (not caused by his actions) causes then it was the process that killed him. So it cause of death is important.
Eitherway I don't see how the computer Or video games did it. Unless he died of an electrical shock from the computer. Normal people don't play games for 86 hours, (hell normall people dont do ANYTHING for 86 hours, come on 3 days 14 hours?)
And no I dont think this is the same thing as "Guns don't kill people kill" crap. Why?
Because computers _don't_ kill.

There are better ways to do this than exposing your network
Not to flamebait, but does anyone read these articles anymore before posting?
From the article:
"The laptop will have no other network connection"
It is in the second paragraph. The intent is to record and monitor the nature and frequency of the war-drivers... Most likely to determine if they need to take measures and how much money they want to spend doing this... A rare infrequent event prob is not worth a large capital investment to secure, block signal, or firewall...
I'm not saying that it makes sense, but I that is what the article says they are doing.
and finally wouldn't your idea still leave all the traffic within the wireless network exposed? So the war-driver now can only access your corporate data (or the data on every laptop?) That is better than just letting them use your network access the internet how?
Until recently (barring drug overdose...) 26 year olds did not have heart attacks
Two things first, why would you rule out drug overdose? 86 straight gameplaying? Can you say stimulants? I would almost bet on that being positive. And Stimulants can cause strokes, sudden arthymias, and heart attacks...
And I wouldn't rush to heart attack as cause of death, a Pulmonary embolis can kill suddenly and anyone can get one from sitting/not moving for long times. Rhabodmyolysis can cause kidney failure, and in extreme cases shock I think...
He could died of lots of things, almost no actually caused by video games...
People have asked and speculated as to the usefullness as to preventing or inducing apoptosis.
Cancer is caused by mutation on a single cell level. In order to divide, grow, resist the immune system, spread locally, develop a blood supply, and finally spread to distant sites a cell needs to mutate.
The list of mutations literally reads as check list of to-do's...
Some of the first level requirements involve turning on the growth cycle, and turning off the mechanism of automatic cell death. Many cancers are 'immortal' cells. It is litterally one cell that grows and divides. Cloning itself over and over...
If you could force the cells to apoptose, (or disable their overide of the natural apoptotic cycle) you could defeat a great many cancers...
That is of course an over simplification, most cancers do the same thing but the method they use is very different (thus there is no magic bullet on the horizon)
Regardless of the level of chip you put into an integrated motherboard no serious gamer will buy this...
If for no other reason than upgrade-ability. What's they point of intergrating the latest chip when a year from now (in the gamers mindset, and the games development) that chip will be out-dated...
and from a manufacturing standpoint you will be left with motherboards that are too expensive for the low-mid end user and useless to the high end gamer...
They're all the same, just dos and windows.
Why not count what you can do with an emulator?
Man, that was sloppy of me... Windows 1.0-3.11 are just GUI's not OS's!
Ok take the count down to 23-ish (not counting windows 1.0-3.11 at all)... Emulation verses actual install, there is a difference...
Windows menu
Windows 1.01
Windows 1.03
Windows 2.03
Windows 2.10
Windows 3.1
Windows 95
Windows 98 First Edition
Windows 98 Second Edition
Windows 98 SE Lite (not counted as separate)
Windows Me
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Ok I make the list realisticly at 28-ish. I count all the DOS's, Linux distro count as one, 9 Unix's (verses 11 listed), and 10 windows (all win98 as one)...
You can argue beyond that, but 28 is still impressive... No WinNT?
