I don't think Chrome sends the stuff anywhere (see here), but anyway, this is a theoretical legal problem translating into practice so that no company lawyer will permit any handling of company data with Chrome. This would mean that Chrome will be outright banned.
The implications of the EULA sound nonsensical, and I sincerely hope that someone will soon demonstrate how I'm wrong about this.
I work for a small codeshop that does (among other things) document management applications. Our apps have a browser-based UI, and if I'm reading the EULA right, any information (including documents etc.) used with our apps are automatically licensed to Google if the user uses Chrome.
IANAL and I hope I'm wrong, because otherwise I can't see how Chrome could be used with business applications at all.
There's a difference Chrome automatically installs a GoogleUpdate executable and adds it to your autoruns; I really hate it when applications do that.
If you had RTFA (I know, I know...) you'd know that this prize is actually split in a few smaller chunks. $20 million for the main goal, $5 million for some extra goals (surviving a lunar night etc.) and $5 million for second place.
Sorry for replying to myself, but I found an interesting paper about the subject. Seems that a PS3 should have Rpeak of 14 Gflop/s with double precision floating point operations. Sounds to me that with a proper clustering solution a four-node PS3 cluster would be significantly faster than Microwulf. And it would probably be a smaller, too:)
Anyone know if there has been a top500-compatible measurement of a PS3?
If PS3 costs about $500, one could build a "ps3wulf" with four nodes and some network equipment for $2500. Anyone have any idea how it could compare with the Microwulf?
That stuff really doesn't belong in your list. South Africa stopped using it in 1996 and the malaria cases rose in a certain province from 8000 with 20 deaths in 1996 to 42000 cases with 340 deaths in 2000. They started using it again, and the death rate is back to less than 50 per year.
In addition to the deaths of its citizens the stint cost South Africa a pretty penny, but the currently available, affordable alternatives just are not as effective as DDT.
About the topic at hand, I'd really like if Nokia would release a new version of the phone. The original was really a bargain for its feature set.
glad to see I didn't waste my time on a series just to have it thrown in my face at the end (*cough* Dark Tower *cough* Wheel of time).
Boy, don't get me started on those two... I stopped reading (and buying) WoT after fifth book, because it seemed clear that the author has no intention of really taking the story anywhere. In fact, it was a bit like Lost (only seen 2 seasons mind you) - both have an enormous potential of really good story development, but hints are pretty much all we get. Simply not worth my time to wade through hundreds of pages full of bickering of the most annoying and unrealistic female characters and stuff that has almost nothing to do with the grand story the series promises. There are a few pages of payoff in every book, and some of it is good, but when I want to endure lots of boring tedium for a payoff I play a MMO. Oh, and did I mention the female characters annoy the hell out of me every time they do anything?
Dark Tower is a completely anothe beast. I loved the series, the first three in particular, but that ending was just horrible. How can he do that to his readers, after, what 3000 pages? It was just evil.
That was my first thought too. Sony can claim "first" but it doesn't alter the fact that twelve years ago we were creating whole new areas complete with monsters and loot and whatnot for a MMO game.
Either the user's fingers are too fat, or the UMPC keyboard appears painfully small.
Well, I have the Nokia E70, and its even smaller thumb-typing keyboard is not too small at all for managing my calendar entries or to send out few emails and text messages every now and then. The UMPC keyboard is not meant for churning out code for ours, but I bet it's just excellent for the purposes it's aimed for.
Two cups of tea, one spiked with iocane powder, which is tasteless, odorless, dissolves instantly in water, and is one of the deadlier poisons known to man. The PA crew must pick a cup and both drink from it, while Thompson drinks from the other. Then while they debate which to drink from, Thompson plays his card and does the unexpected -- he cries "what's that?!" and points, and while they aren't looking, he switches the cups. As they drink, he cackles and reveals his nefarious scheme!
But he's been taking the poison for years in small doses, building up an immunity? Inconceivable!
Just a nitpick, but is it really 2500 liters instead if 660 gallons? TFA says
The 660-gallon fuel cell will be 250 times bigger than a prototype that has been operating at the university laboratory and according to Google 660 gallons is about 2498 liters, so it sounds to me like the prototype is "10 liters" instead of "2.64 gallons". A two and a half cubic meter container is quite large in any case.
You make a good point, but it does not really apply here. The office was not "destroyed", but rather some equipment and furniture was damaged. Lacking any real details it's completely possible that the servers were not affected at all, aside from temporary power loss.
But I doubt that they would use every combination. Yes, that would be pretty silly since "brute forcing" a key would be quite easy if every possible combination was valid.
When you buy the computer from Apple, $0 goes to Microsoft for the OS. Apple may internally transfer $50 from the hardware division to the OS X division, but managerial accounting rules like that are for executive bonus structure. Yeah sure, but for me, who pays for the package, it's completely irrelevant how my cash is divided up. Between several companies or internally inside one company, I still end up paying for a part of the package I have no use for.
The premium price Apple collects is that people value their machines more highly as a result of OS Yeah, added value and all that, sure. But I still get to pay the premium even though it adds absolutely no value to the package for me.
Apple doesn't "have to up the prices of hardware to make up for OS X," Apple charges what the market will bare. Yes, it's a specialist market, so what? How does this differ from Microsoft's pricing? The price of a bundled Windows license does not reflect the cost of making Windows either.
Serves me right to reply to an AC, but...
Apple develops OSX anyway, and subsidises its development with Mac and iPod revenue, so putting a copy in the box with each Mac costs them nothing extra and therefore costs you nothing extra. Sorry, but you just demonstrated yourself wrong. If Apple didn't develop OS X it wouldn't have to up the prices of the hardware to make up for it, ie. the plain hardware would be cheaper. I *am* paying extra for the OS.
It's not as contrived as you think. Yeah, it's not. I have a coworker in my office who runs only Ubuntu on his MacBook. When queried about it he shrugs it off with a comment about getting the best of the both worlds. Whatever his reasons, our company now owns one OS X license we have absolutely no use for.

Yeah, it's gimbaled, like almost all modern rockets. For more info see here.

The privacy policy is not relevant, the EULA is.

I dunno. What if there was a wiki, conveniently linked straight from the package manager?
I know you're trying to be funny, but that's what it basically means, someone stealing your most liquidatable assets.
I have this as my laptop's screensaver.
Depends. Are they zombie pirates or regular ones?

I also ordered the box containing both movies. It's region 1, but who doesn't have a multiregion player these days?
