No, you still need your passport. Trying crossing country lines on a train( I did it in July). They still want your passport. But it's a quick look, and they move on.
For real. Google's got the advantage here. Give employees 20% of their time to put on random personal projects. It makes them happy, and makes people want to work for Google. And by retaining ownership, Google will make all the profits off it. I'm not sure I would do it if I was at google.
At least, I'd rather see them leave 20% ownership of the product to the employee. Then, the employee that created it/built it can still sell the rest to google, or to the highest bidder, etc.
Yeah, I know. Living in denver is great. 1 hour away from snow. A few hours from the really quality stuff. The tunes definitly help in the terrain parks.(Not that it matters for me, I suck hard at the vert stuff). 6 more months or so......
No, it matters for a flash player as well. I have an old lyra, and it's ungodly slow copying files over. And that's only with 256 megs of memory. I gotta start it and leave. Which sucks when you're tryin' to change out some songs right before going snowboarding.
The high court divided 5-to-4 over a law passed in 1998, signed by then-President Clinton and now backed by the Bush administration.
Just remember kids, it's BOTH democrats and republicans out to take away your rights. It's not a left vs. right struggle, it's a class struggle. Just as it's been throughout history.
True, and as of 2000 the US's power consumption is around 98,000 trillions of btu's. (From doe).
And assuming it generates 500MW, that's about 1,706,000,000 btu/h. Calling that 2 billion, that's only 2% of the annual usage of the US. But then, it will only generate that for 500 seconds. So, in btu/500 seconds, I get 14,216,666,666.
Dividing the annual usage by number of seconds in a year, I get 3,105,498,932 in btu's per second, and thus 1,552,749,466,155 btus/500 seconds.
In essence, this plant will generate less then 1% of the the total energy used during the 500 seconds. So, not too far along. But then again, this is a reasearch plant. It's not developed yet. I'm sure the numbers will improve.
It would be the first fusion device to produce thermal energy at the level of conventional electricity-producing power stations, and would pave the way for commercial power production.
This is awsome. Expensive for the amount of power though. Anything that can reduce our dependency on oil, deserves some research in my eyes.
This type of performance is roughly in line with the Video Codec 9 which Microsoft uses in its Windows Media Player and only slightly less than the H.264 international standard.
So what methods do these other compressions algorithms employ? I couldn't figure it out from google. It seemed as though H.264 was related to mpeg4? Also, is there a rough guess as to how effective wavelets will be when they're better developed?
How much does this cost? The site is loading very slowly.
According to snaps website, you can get 80, 160, or 250 gigs of storage, for as little as 4/gig. Even assuming you can that price for the 80, that's $320 bucks for that. Why would you do that? 80 gigs isn't much, when most dells are coming with at least 40 gigs by default now.
So to any people who've used this, or will use this, can you tell me why?
Modprove is simply a driver loader. Say you have a sound card. The kernal needs to be able to talk to the sound card. It does that using a driver. Modprobe loads that driver. It runs everytime you start up your computer, and anytime you run it manually. If you don't need the driver, then you can disable that, and run modules-update. I can explain better, if you let me know what you commented out that was modprobe related.
I know this is somewhat of a joke, but I've done that. Hired as a temp for 2 weeks. Worked there for 3 months. I left because of my own commitments, and by networking the manager guarenteed me a job if I ever needed one again.
Granted, this was a labor job, not IT. But I was making close to 13/hr even then.
As to the not having a degree aspect, GET THE DEGREE. I make over 13/hr. I'm still in college. My work constantly hires students. We get experience, they get cheap labor. But you gotta be at least enrolled in school.
50 million people?
The census says their are 292,864,554 people in the united states.
17 percent of the population swaps mp3's? That seems a little high.
Acutally we're both right. It is badly worded, as I think what the writeer tried to say is that the rule is intended for local companies to have access to the POTS network at government mandated rates. But in this case, the "local" companies are AT&T, and whoever doesn't own that last mile, as you said.
This is a newer version. Apparently the older version had a range of 25 ft. Although this version only had a 30 ft range, but hey, that extra 5 feet could be good.
Also, there's a 100 ft version as well. It'll set ya back $180 bucks though.
I've had worse. I used to be a valet, at a few different really popular nightclubs. 200-300 cars a night. One night, guy comes out to get his saturn. We send a guy to get it. He gets in, drives away. About 10 minuts later, he comes back, saying "We have a problem." I talk to him about it. Turns out, while that was his saturn, they wern't his keys. Another saturn key opened the door, and started the car. As far as I know, there's no way to make each car have it's own key values(for all the pins in the lock). They just stuff like what happened to that guy rarely happens.
This was on fark yesterday. What cracks me up is that they guy doesn't even think he was scammed. He blames governments for holding the money, and he considers the criminals his friends. Actually, never mind, that doesn't crack me up. It makes me sad.
I don't think that's the case. I think this is their way to combat piracy. I'm talking about actual piracy. The mass duplicator of DVD style. It's prevelent EVERYWHERE. The middle east is filled with them. In fact, I'd say a small majority of the indian movies rented out in the U.S. are pirated. But if they offer them as a cheap download, it's better. Why go out and pay 3 bucks to rent a pirated movie, when I can pay 3 bucks and not leave the house. That's just my take on it though.
Think about that for a second. How many GOOD hollywood movies do you actually see on TV(exluding cable channels)? At least for me, very few. For Bollywood(just like hollywood), you gotta look a little deeper. Then you'll find the good stuff. Instead of the "Stuck on you" type of crap that's in every market. ACtually, some of my favorite movies have been cross-bred. The movies that combine the indian and american cultures in one.
This is probably a futile move. But yet I can't stop grinning thinking about someone standing up to those people for once. DirecTV being sued as well.....I think perhaps people are tired of being pushed around. That and Kazza stands to lose money.
I didn't even know this data was being collected. I'm not sure anything bad is happening with it, however. In fact, it could be good for impartial descriptions of accidents. But with the potential for misuse, and my natural distrust of people, I'm not sure I would like it either way.
Size matters too. When I run, and when I lift, I don't even want something the size of a CD on my arm(forget the waist!). The solid state mp3 players are generally smaller. And won't skip. And won't jostle a hard drive. Even for just lifting, hard disks can take some abuse.

Read the article. It mentions this. Also it mentions using this to combot Muscular Dystrofy.

Wow, I had no idea fusion power was so far along.
It would be the first fusion device to produce thermal energy at the level of conventional electricity-producing power stations, and would pave the way for commercial power production.

" forced large phone companies to allow companies such as AT&T and MCI the ability to offer local phone service."
I think they mean that large companies like AT&T and MCI were required to allow OTHER companies to offer local phone service.
