2-3 years old? try 5, the main problem wouldnt be the actual cost of the systems (more than enough are thrown out, moneys even paid to get rid of boxes occasionally) it would be the power requirements, a generator can only power so much, an extra 3 boxes = extra 300 watts at least (monitors are required anyway) 300 watts is a lot of power to waste when youre using a generator for it
its all marketing, they can release exactly the same product (and i mean identical) except for model number and people will buy it for more instead of the older version...
its an old idea, where someone designs a perfect (literally) product, they still need to make the standard version worse, release some inferior and better versions but keep headroom above to keep releasing updates, if they release the product as a perfect one therell be a rush to buy it, but then once half your friends have it you dont want it anymore because you want to have something different...
anyway...
a successful rebellion makes you a leader, a failed one makes you a traitor... quite simple... the problem with the witches one was that any non average women would be accused of witchcraft... and some centuries ago? a couple of decades ago black men had no rights... and the states declaring independence from britain wasnt breaking the law, refusing to pay the taxes was breaking the law, declaring independence would be closer to treason... unless successful, in which case its heroic, blah, blah...
whats my point again? i dont think i have one... but still...
imagine a state now declaring independence of the rest of the country? how do you think that would be received?
each trailer has its own breaks on all trucks with more than one trailer (well, each trailer has parking breaks, im not sure if standard trailers have breaking breaks)... their weight makes it easier for them to stop if anything, the amount of rubber in contact with the ground is bound to help also...
BMW already have a system, to be implemented in the X5, all the driver has to do is let go of the break pedal (in the automatic), the car steers itself, having mapped out the space accurately and planning the perfect path in it...
you dont have to drill straight down, a lot of the newer wells going up are horizontal due to rock layering and the like, its more expesive to drill each well (about $2-3m instead of $1m for a standard well) but they also recover a lot more oil as oil reservoirs tend to rather flat, but anyway...
does anyone have any idea as to the cost per barrel or the oil produced? maybe the recent price rise in oil made it viable, maybe theyre producing over cost with subsidies from researchers, etc... just wondering
all you need to do is get a new born hamster chain smoking... maybe that would stunt its growth enough to keep it from getting larger than a thumb... either that or compare it to a really really large thumb... (see guiness book of world records)
heres how you do it... get a monitor which comfortably manages 2048x1536 (eg electron22blue), set internet fonts to "smallest" and... lo and behold, it manages (just) to get onto a single line...
"is basically purified beach sand" - since when is deoxidation considered purification?
"about 6 to 8 inches (200 to 300mm)" - make that 8 - 12 inches...
slightly sad that such trivial mistakes/oversimplicications are made in an otherwise good article...
as does matrox with their external drived, i thought my 250 gig aluminium (aluminum?) box was quite nice, the blue blinking leds made it what it is... as well as the usb2 AND firewire cables they included... shame on you epson, hp, etc.. etc...
question... since when is reading more books being in any way sociable? its just goes further to push the geek issue into the spotlight... sure there are many people who use the net to socialise (students using im's etc...) but true "internet users" shouldnt be considered part of that...

think futurama
austalia has truck trains... huge huge mother truckers with 10+ trailers behind each truck... theyre called trains too
they tend to eat locusts and the like, rotting insects smell rather different than rotting flesh, reptile or mammal
caps lock on: always run... dont know what id do without it

pci EXPRESS... not pci... there is a difference you know... :)

hmm... maybe "a real density"? 2,090,000

american way of thinking? uhm...
I shudder to think what would happen if one could actually introduce a legitimate and real free market economy into... life?

an emerald of equivalent quality and size as a diamond is more expensive than a diamond...
the reason here is simple, a watch is a piece of jewelery, along with cufflinks and a cross and wedding ring, that a conservative man will wear...
