Ever wondered why your hard disk is full? Or what directory is taking up most of the space? When using conventional disk browsing tools, such as Windows Explorer, these questions may be hard to answer. With SequoiaView however, they can be answered almost immediately. SequoiaView uses a visualization technique called cushion treemaps to provide you with a single picture of the entire contents of your hard drive. You can use it to locate those large files that you haven't accessed in one year, or to quickly locate the largest picture files on your drive.

"Wal-Mart Stores will continue to sell VHS tapes for as long as its customers want them."
Heyo! WMT electronics associate here. VHS is on the way out, in that movies are not going to be distributed on them for long. DVD held out for a while in the children's movies sector. Stupendous X-Mas 2003 and 2004 sales of players means that many/most houses have them for multiple rooms. Dual DVD/VHS machines and blank tapes are still popular so obviously people are using the tapes for home recording.
Considering life has existed on earth for more than 500 million years, I don't know if "1,000 years of temperature in the northern hemisphere" or "45,000 years of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the earth's atmosphere" is enough.
my personal information is protected by the whim of a corporation and not by any standards.
While government standards and regulations is one approach and is used in the European Union, here in America we use tort law to sort out situations like this. (i.e. sue them)
Its a more market-based approach than pure regulation, I suppose.
Did you also know Wal-Mart's employee name badges have RFID tags (and have had for many years) that allow Wal-Mart to track where an employee is at any given time?
While this may be true in distribution centers and the home office, it is not in stores. A nametag is a thin piece of pure plastic. Heh.
It would be a pretty simple case to win, as the contract is very clear. The punishment is like $10,000 in fines and loss of the privilage of having new release merchandise.
I'd say the store manager or district manager for that store/region is in trouble.
Q: Why is everyone so obsessed about SpaceShipOne? A: SpaceShipOne is the ultimate paradox. On the one hand it doesn't give a crap, but on the other hand, spaceships are very careful and precise.
Q: I heard that SpaceShipOne is always dangerous or lame. What's its problem? A: Whoever told you that is a total liar. Just like other spaceships, SpaceShipOne can be dangerous OR totally awesome.
Q: What does SpaceShipOne do when its not doing sonic booms or barrel rolls? A: Most of their free time is spent flying, but sometime they glide. (Ask Burt if you don't believe me.)
The truth however, is that any major conflict would probably see a total loss of all seagoing vessels. They'd simply start lobbing nukes at one another until they are all destroyed or capsized.
Nuclear weapons are actually less effective against ships than one would expect and, of course, fairly useless against submarines. Simply spreading the ships out over a large area of ocean forces the enemy to use a single bomb per vessel -- an expensive proposition. Might as well just use conventional cruise missiles or aircraft bombs.
"Damage to the superstructures of the centrally located target ships was considerable, however, there was negligible damage to the hulls of the ships even those closest to ground zero. There were about 20 ships within half a mile, all of which were badly damaged, many being put out of action and five sunk. It required up to 12 days to repair all of those ships left afloat sufficiently so that they could have steamed under their own power to a major base for repair."
"vessels within a mile of an atomic bomb air burst would eventually become inoperative due to crew casualties"
Imagine the following scenario: a bomb goes off in the US. By tracing searches for "anarchist cookbook" to zipcodes within the area of the bomb blast, the FBI could have access to information that makes TIA look like a better alternative.
Maybe this isn't such a good feature after all...
"The shuttle fleet would be phased out by early 2011, once NASA and its Russian partners completed assembly of the space station. The United States would then rely on Russian, Japanese and European rockets to get to and from the station for the next three years, until the CEV was operational."

This only applies to the memory based players, it looks like. Hopefully they will also upgrade their line of CD players to play Ogg Vorbis discs. (do such things exist?)
I would love to see a game based on SF... but the more I've thought about it, there's not one single SF themed multiplayer game that I think would be fun without borrowing heavily from fantasy.
Well, there is Fallout. That was a rather popular sci-fi RPG. Besides, why do massively multiplayer games all have to be role playing? Planetside is a pretty great game.
The moon has much lower gravity, so we should build this thing on the Moon first, as a "proof of concept". The materials would not have to be as strong, nor the Elevator as long.
Just to be clear, these are being released in the theaters. Not on VHS / DVD, which was my immediate thought.
Plan calls for putting the films on 100-150 screens in top 10 U.S. markets. Many other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended edition screenings. Running times for the extended editions are 208 minutes for "Fellowship of the Ring" and 214 minutes for "The Two Towers."

Retail is a service sector, employs massive numbers of workers, and rarely involves sitting down.

...and subsequently go out of business because they couldn't compete with less-expensive companies, who did take profit losses. Capitalism, remember?

Morals aside, Wal-Mart already sells a Sanyo brand DVD player that will filter out bad language (audio). It retails for about $60, apparently. It is interesting to see the evolution of this technology. I wonder how it works?
