he market 'ooh'd and 'aahd' in delight of the new architecture, supposing that it would herald in a new era of computing in a similar way that the jump from 16 to 32 did.
It will - the 386 showed up in 1987. It was 5 years before we had a good mass market OS that was 32 bit, and another 7 or 8 to get win2k/XP (the last good version), and this was with a demand for stable, fast 32 bit windows. Right now, we _do_ have 64b OSes, but it's only needed for massive memory apps, which generally run unix anyway. Unless you've got lightwave or pshop, you probably don't need 64b yet.
Yeah, but most people don't change the default. I do it differently out of habit, but oh well. The average person runs whatever it was running when it started working.
If a contract contains a clause that reserves the right to modify without re-consent, its entirely possible for that clause to be enforceable.
These are likely unnegitated contracts; while this sort of thing would almost certainly fly with a negotiated contract (because only an idiot would allow it when negotiating), there are porbably more restrictions on these sorts of contracts. Anyway, maybe it's the Kansas post secondary system that's set for a mass exodus of students. High school was so last year.
It's a vicious cycle, one we're beginning to see in the tech sector. They offer crap wages and benefits so they need to go abroad, making the wages and benefits even crappier.
Lesson from the nursing sector: stop treating your staff like crap and they'll be happier.
But I feel sad for the foreigners, who -- through their talent and/or hardwork -- deserve no worse a job, than I can get, but are restricted by America's protectionism...
Why do foreign workers have a right to work in the US? I don't have a right to work in.de, so why is it different for someone else?
You've got that moron from Tasmania and the One nation party - not much room to speak, really. You also banned guns and, when that led to an increase of sword attacks, considered banning those.
You can do this in a limited way, which is just fine for things like credit. Credit doesn't even require proof of identity (not at the absolute level), only a reasonable idea of how likely someone is to pay you off vs. default vs. disappear.
Can you prove that you weren't switched at birth? That you weren't really adopted, and your adoptive parents never told you
So what if I was? That has no bearing on who I am. My identity is the sum of the things I've done. Really, the only thing you have to prove is that I didn't do things under a different identity that are naughty.
Well, you can demand that people change their behavior, or you can craft your writing to fit how they already behave. Which one will give you better results?
That's not a good reason. The NSA objected to relying on one key, so MS put in a fallback key. It was requested by the NSA key, so that's what they named it. You think spooks of that caliber would do something as stupid as tag their turf?
what happens if I send a 100k worth of gzipped zeros through your scanner? Will it open up the whole thing? Feel free to substitute an appropriate quantity of gzipped zeroes.
16 kPa, not psi. The pressurized head thing can be done with what we already have - maintain 1 atm on the head and equalize it before removing the faceplate. This is a solved problem, AFAICT - scuba can do it, as can modern airlocks, it just needs a bit of reworking. Sure, it's significant, but it isn't anything completely new like the suit itself.
Why not just do culture style rings? Basically, make a ring with a radius of about 1000km composed of multiple slabs. Spin for gravity. You could make them with current materials and they'd be a hell of a lot easier to build wherever you want to put them.
So, what happens if the fields breaks - why leave yourself vulnerable to the correct operation of something so complex as a force field? You can wear that thing on top of something more reliable and durable - belt and suspenders.
If you took two drives from the same production line, and put them through the exact same usage, I imagine the probability of them both breaking within the same week to be somewhere close to zero, maybe even close to requiring the "Heart of Gold".
If you took 10 drives, though, the probablility of 2 of them failing within a week of each other is probably around.5.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah, what the hell is that all about? happens with linux too - especially when there are errors.
Craptastic interrupt handling. I recall the best part of OS2 was that you could format a floppy with zero system impact.

So how do you improve your grades? Frame those who have the best grades.
Why not just get them drunk and laid the night before? They might thannk you for it and, if they're like I was, most tests don't require focus anyways

Depends. A 3.35 at a top tech school beats a 3.8 at an average state school.

Really, historical relativism is going way too far when it equates things like the Boston Tea Party with terrorism.
Given that it's Boston and given their recent track record with the lite brites, I'd say that it's not nearly far enough.

Beside, have you ever tried to prove a negative?

third party debt collectors re-aging old debt, to out and out falsifying payment records, etc...
That's an income source, actually - sue them for illegal debt collection and get a grand or two for your trouble.
Why are unpaid medical bills on a credit report? It is not credit, and has no bearing on your ability or desire to pay your mortgage or car loan.
It's an unpaid debt. why wouldn't it be included?
Got 'bad' credit? Can't rent now either - so where the hell are you supposed to live?
Rent a room from someone - if you're poor and a deadbeat, maybe it'll be harder to find a place of your own.

Joke's on you - that thing will never terminate.
No, a homonym is two words that sound the same. In English, when you spell the words the same, it's the same word.
I want a car that has better gas mileage than a 1975 Honda
Good luck. That car weighs half what your current one does and got 35hp. The current one gets 35hp and over 100hp - thermodynamics is a bitch.
Nah, the official cracker uniform is a stained wifebeater and a meshback hat with a big 3 on it.
what happens if I send a 100k worth of gzipped zeros through your scanner? Will it open up the whole thing? Feel free to substitute an appropriate quantity of gzipped zeroes.
What's that got to do with anything? You are aware that a word can have many meanings?
