"I imagine housing prices will fall tremendously if the stock market has and problems."
Just a hint; That's when real estate prices tend to climb the most. Money moves from the stock market, to real estate, and then back again.. It's all cyclical trends.
The geek cred apple has built up over the last couple of years kinda does matter.
Sure, it might not change anything on the linux front, but having Linus primarily using a Mac speaks to this increasing credibility to the Mac platform. Tides are changing, albeit slowly, and well.. I for one find it pretty damn cool.
4% I think.. same as the thrift savings plan the people on the Hill have.
And even then.. if you don't like it, you don't have to do it.. Or you can simply put the 4% into T-Bills, which is the same thing as not putting it anywhere to begin with..
So yeah.. lots of hype, and the math may or may not work.. but the idea itself is kinda cool.
But what does a company built around making inexpensive PCs know about HDTVs?
Without RTFA, I'd venture to say probably nothing. Their lcd tv's were/are made by a company called Planar.
If that was true they could bundle the regular ole Firefox distro. I think what they're really trying to do grub some ad revenue and co-branding out of the current Firefox buzz.
And what we have in America isn't really Democracy as much as it is a Republic, whats your point?
Call it what you want but when people say "communism," they don't mean some hippie commune outside of L.A. with thirty people. They mean extremists who imposed it on an entire nation. People like Stalin and the political parties the parent had in Eastern Europe. It doesn't work on that scale. It never has, and probably never will.
The reporter being especially smart, informed and ballsy pointed out the U.S. was funding Yuschenko's party through the National Endowment for Democracy and was in fact interfering in the election just as much as Moscow was.
Interfering the same amount as Moscow was, except, you know, without the poisoning and attempted murder of the opposition, but hey, whatever..;)
Am I missing an aspect of desktop computing, that requires regular reboots, to care how long a reboot takes?
I'm willing to wager the average user does not leave their computer on 24/7. My mom doesn't, my girlfriend doesn't, and I'd say the majority of non technical people I know do not.
Didn't myth busters prove this false already? The thought, if I recall, was that it was an issue with static electricity, not neccessarily the cell phone.
I can say with 99.9% certainty that the President himself did not decide to cut off foriegn web traffic.
Stupid move by the campaign staff maybe, but let's not massage our political ideology and think our internets are more important than they actually are.
Heaven forbid a company works with somebody that was referred by a trusting source instead of a perfect stranger off the street.
The geek shall inherit the earth, so long as its a social well groomed geek who happnes to know some people. Social networking (and for that matter, social placement) is just as important as its always been. Time to get over it.

Sure, if I get slung onto some random old machine
Or a brand new machine, with Centrino..

Actually, it would have expired by now. Just.. ya know.. sayin ;)
Isn't that what the minus sign is for? i.e.: pentium -shop -ecommerce -buy -etc -etc -etc

What's wrong with them doing both?
(ahem)
"complete with a Linux emulator layer."
MLB and the NFL may be hurting their popularity by doing this
:\
Yeah.. gamers are notorious sports nuts.
It's fun to see how book-writing hackers act.
;)
What, you mean, by using the right tool for the job instead of language snobbery?

That's because construction's design patterns have been defined for thousands of years.
I'm sure cavemen had a hardtime gauging the difficulty behind building a dome or even a door for that matter..
Seems to me they should integrate voice recognition software if they're serious about teaching people foriegn languages..

Organisms have specialized to compete in their own biological niches

Unless of course, it's a snakehead fish in Maryland, or a brazillian pepper tree in Florida.. But you know.. whatever..
In regards to your title, there is a huge, huge difference between North Korea and South Korea.. ;)
She would be just as amazed as the rest of the world, and just as quick to point out that it was not accomplished using embryonic stem cells.

What if a thousand people wanted to get off at the same exit? Seems to me you'd end up with a heck of a lot of backed up "traffic."
Furthermore, the Nullsoft-guys already brought us the open Gnutella protocol
Don't forget WASTE, also.
Funny you ask.. thats one of the only things John Titor neglected to tell us.
Uh.. let's be fair here.
