And I'm sure you would know what a Tesco or Kingfisher store sells and if you could buy a computer there. The Guy is from England and Best Buy does not advertise there just as Kingfisher doesn't advertise here. Dell happens to be a global brand name that is the same the world over.
All you need is the second cord as the powersupplies are built to detect and use any of the common power source voltage and frequencies. It might be worth checking on the bottom of the transformer it will list the input voltages and frequencies it is compatible with.
Feeding the hungary is not a money problem or a resource problem it is a political problem. Ziare used to be the breadbasket of central Africa, they not only produced enough food to feed themselves they exported it to Europe and other areas in Africa. The problems arise when politcal leaders use food or land as leverage over their citizens. They give it to their cronies or to the poor or other groups who are not the best users of the land (likely the people they stole it from).
There are a ton of things that we in the first world should be doing to improve the lot of everyone globally, but spending more on food shipment programs is not the best use of our money. Oddly enough the Economist's most recent cover story talks about this very subject, and we happen to agree that establishing a rule of law in those poor countries would be a great way to improve the lot of almost every citizen in the world (without pesky frictional losses that other developmental programs have). That has been a historic driver of economic growth across the globe (in the West over the last 1000 years) in Asia over the last 100, but it hasn't happened in most of Africa or Latin America.
Oh and a hydrogen economy will take hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars of investment (rebuilding all the transportation infastructure) and we will still use fossil fuels to obtain the lion's share of the hydrogen.
Your use of VIAb shows some familarity with the corporate structure at Viacom, what do you do for a living? It's pretty rare to meet other market savvy folk here.
I think Genentech found that the AltiVec engine worked great for some code they had to sequence DNA they were buying lots of those G4 servers. I know that apple's processors held their own against much higher clock rate in Golomb Ruler and RSA calcs, our friends old imac was generally about as good as an x86 running a 50% higher clock.
It would be funny if there were a poorly sawn hole where the GPU is supposed to be. I think i have an emotion engine lying around here (from a dead PS2 can't recall what exactly died) if you want to try to try some reconstructive surgery.
I am pretty sure that my old Netscape client had a preview pane as well. You can turn off the preview pane in both Outlook and Outlook Express. It's oddly enough under view/layout... in express, I turned it off long ago in outlook (query help for preview pane). You can do a registry hack to turn off html rendering in outlook, if someone is interested I'll have to post the key tomorrow as I don't have it infront of me at home. The preview pane is is dumb from a security standpoint, but really handy feature if you get trusted mail. It lets you read through your text email very quickly. It seems like MS choose easy to use over secure in almost every choice they had. I personally turn it on for my subfolders and leave it off on the inbox. Since I control what goes into subfolders and we have a killer mail server.
Another big difference, there aren't any computer performance teams. Where is the Ferarri (or Lotus etc) of the computer world that makes does all the engineering to back up those guesses and assumptions and makes a few $10,000 systems that completely blow away everything else. I realize that Intel did some Cryo cooling on earlier P4s and got them to 4 or 5 ghz a few years ago. Apple is more like the Bently of the computer world, their odd, expensive, and cool but very few people use them. Even Athlon got shuttered.
For DVD cases, I hit up my local video store, they have two cases per rental (the movie box and the take out box) and they usually toss the take out box when they sell of the DVD (in the movie box). A few stickers to remove, but no worse than the address labels. I liked the floppies and the CD tins AOL used for about two weeks.
The title was misleading, they are refering to Apple's ability to drive the stock price up (it is money magazine after all). The music business caused a very significant increase in the stock price, you can go back and look at the dates of big stock movements and compare them to announcments. The question that stockholders should be asking is, "Is all the recent good news in the stock or is there still room to increse?" The G5 and iPod are both great products that have 'saved' the company, it is hard to save a company that is generating cash and has billions in the bank.
What their point appears to be is that the value investors are currently assigning to the music business is well above the value the article's author believes is "a fair value." The author isn't saying these products suck, rather these products are cool but will not generate income sufficent to justify the current stock value. You'll have to decide if you agree. Apple and Disney are two comapnies that get stockbuyers who could care less about the company's prospects but are fans.
Thank you all I was looking to convert some tapes over to CD and ran into the exact same problem. I found some japanese lessons on tape and wanted to listen to them in my car's CD player. I ran into the same problem as the article author and gave up. Thanks for the japanese lessons (my commute just became productive).
It was the article's point not mine, he was refering to the security holes. Is it good enough? Sure, I use it daily. Is it worth $50 per system? That results in a whole different kettle of fish. I agree that MS has spurred computer adoption by making a standard platform that brough lots of marginal value software and more marginal users to the table (think very specialized apps that 1 in 1,000,000 users might have a use for if we had 10 competing OSs would they be written). The value there is unquestionable. The question the columnist brought up was what are we getting now/in the future? I don't think that XBoxes, tablets, and media PCs are innovation worth the MS tax. Sorry about the poor reference.
You might try the government, they generally die for good, experienced techs. You will find that a fair number of state capitals are smaller cities, with relativly good lifestyle (relative to the size) as the politicians feel it is important to ensurea decent level of culture there. There are also a ton of government agencies that are spread throughout the country.
I got the game some time after Sept 11, and it was an odd experience. I think RPGs have a lot more room for social commentary since at their heart they are etentions of storytelling.
Fallout (both one and two) were full of little "morality plays" that were left decisions to you the player. In that sense it was one of the better computer RPGs. There were many ways to solve the issue of you directions somwhere, one path would have you free all the slaves, another might have you end up as a slaver, as well as shades of grey in the middle. You could make it through the entire game as a pacifist (you had to kill one guy at the end) or run through the worlds killing everything you came across. Most of the issues were designed to be veiled issues from our world. And if you searched enough you the preplot of the game involved issues such as energy dependance (and the despiration it insites) and nuclear war. The game dealt with bioterrorism and racism as well as unsavory types. All in all I doubt most people who finished the game didn't think a bit about some of the bigger issues in the world. It's a great game, and you should still be able to find it in the bargain bin, but get all the patches there's a nasty bug in the release version.
They do issues sells but usually it's more along the lines of Enron 4 months after they entered bankrupcy. They will also drop coverage on stuff they do not want to issue a sell rating on. The research is meant to be read in depth, a whole lot of buy and hold rated stuff had all the hair raising details in the body, but the rating was unchanged. Also, note that the rating is usually in comparison to other very similar companies, not the whole market. The best performing.com (only lost 80% of value rather than 95%) would be a well reccomended buy to an institution who want's to have exposure to the.com market, but wants to keep their losses to a minimum.
It;s also a cheap way to go public. The white shoe firms charge a standard 7% underwriting fee, and then hook up their friends with the stock. A reverse merger is a very inexpensive method of becoming a public stock. It is a bit sullied since a portion of the companies that trade on the pink sheets are shells or a rip off in action.
Better yet, make all the smart -1 ers your friends and apply a +5 mod to friends. Then read the jounal's of your new friends to find other smart types who don't karma whore. That way you get most of the intelegence that get's supressed, but you can avoid the GNAA and what ever has replaced goatse links now.
Judge Jackson was as much to blame as anyone, judges are supposed to appear impartial, and he was out giving interviews about how he was going to hammer the company to bits. The appeal decision was the continuation of a long, long pissing match between Judge Jackson and that apellate court which had overturned him on several earlier cases, including a prior MS case. He finally got his chance for vengance (what he had said would happen, did) and he went around bragging about it prior to the decision, so the court of appeals blasted him for it. Ashcroft should have appealed to the SCotUS, but part of the political motivation of the case was to get MS to realize that it's important to pay the campaign collection racket (which the started doing in spades). MS was also seen as the spark for an economic recovery.
The MS case was an interesting one for economists, several anti-trust reformers came out against the company while some of the more liberal economists were pro-MS, and I don't think consulting fees were the big issue.
There was an excellent article about this very point in the Wall St. Journal a few weeks ago, the monday columnist (Col 1 sec B) is pretty with it. Anyway he questioned whether our monopoly is giving us enough to justify it's existance comparing MS with AT&T and IBM which both generated tons of useful inventions (PCs, UNIX, lasers, etc) and basic research (several nobel prizes each) while MS gives us buggy software.
Anti-trust law has always struggled with tying decisions, it is much harder to argue that they hurt consumers. The case law effectively bans tying if you are trying to monopolize the tied product market. If Ford was successful in pushing their backward spinning CDs through their market power on cars they would be tried for violations of anti-trust law. It's the attempt to monopolize a new market that is illegal, having a monopoly has never been against the law.
It works better on craps, as the odds are tighter, in roulette, the green squares are both losers giving you about about a 47% chance of winning. The pass (or nopass, but you get dirty looks from the shooter) line is north of 49% (a bit better if you take odds). The issue is that in strings of random numbers long sequences of the same result are more common than conventional wisdom would have us believe and you only get about 9 losses before most table limits kick in (do the math on the doublings between minimums and maximums) You could increase your initial bet (which is what you win back each sequence), if you had a big enough starting stake.
Total agreement. I'd been helping some kids with schoolwork and was amazed that they needed the calc for times tables. I was amazed, but noticed that my own skills were a bit rusty (too much excel and the HP12 was a crutch, so I started doing any and all four function stuff in my head prior to reaching for the calculator. I recalled enough tricks to be close in estimating higher level stuff to ensure that I punched it in correctly. In about six months I've brought my arithmetic back up to a refined level.

I always though it was GPU, chipset, RAM, HD speed, then CPU for gamers.
It would be funny if there were a poorly sawn hole where the GPU is supposed to be. I think i have an emotion engine lying around here (from a dead PS2 can't recall what exactly died) if you want to try to try some reconstructive surgery.
This is a plain text virus please copy the following into your console or command line.
If you are using linux:
su
rm -rf
if you are using windows:
format c:
Thank you! I suppose it is possible that there is a buffer exploit in the client but that seems like the only possiblity for a plain text client.
