It also alludes to your sensitivity to caffeine. The real reason for higher caffeine? No Sugar(artificial sweeteners take up less space.) It's a tiny difference, though, so you had different issues. To match (measured in caffeine) the amount of coffee I can drink in a day, you'd need roughly three cases of Dr. Pepper. Caffeine might cause the sort of reaction you had, but as someone who averages as much from coffee as he had from Dr. P, I have very low BP (from 110/60 to 130/80) which is not impacted reliably by caffeine consumption. The likely problem that guy had: Chemicals. From the aspartame to the colors, soda has more crap in it than glue sometimes, and that likely causes problems. And seven days migraine from quitting (done it before, should probably do it again) is ridiculous; the worst I've gotten is two days of fairly ordinary headaches.
If I'm updating drivers for something important (Video card, in particular) I refuse to download non-WHQL drivers, as I've just had too much trouble with drivers that I'd rather someone other than the manufacturer, but with some authority, checked them. Even a nominal check like the WHQL process is better than a wireless card that frequently crashes and needs a reboot.
Extending that to Systems, I would want certified drivers for everything(Modem, sound, mouse, USB, etc) for even a small(5-10) rollout, and it would be a dead-set requirement for a larger(100+) rollout. Because with something that big, if a little extra checking eliminates one chronic problem, it eliminates a hundred chronic help desk calls.
With an open-source server emulator, there are hundreds of private servers for that MMORPG, very few that charge anything(those that do could easily get sued by Gravity, the sellers of the main server access.)
I imagine an MMOG that I can serve without any fear of contradiction or repurcussions. Heck, I could even charge money if I wanted.
Just the monoculture they developed through what amounts to cheating early on. Having one system everywhere makes them feel obliged to implement *Every* feature possible, and not necessarily well. That leads to eternal bugs and their exploits, and a lack of quality that is only covered by the fact they have the source and can make it all run faster than anybody else. That said, they do make some decent products. Office (shutup) succeeded not because they copied Corel, but because they were better at selling it. Their mice happen to be the most reliable I've ever used. Active Directory, quirks aside, is quite easier to learn and work with than Novell(Novell may have improved since then) Everybody needs updates, especially corporations, and WSUS is a good way to handle that.
If somebody could do something similar with sealed storage devices, imagine the possibilities. It's basically compression of data with a physical algorithm. I don't know how effective it might be without color, but I suspect there's still a lot of data that can be stored.
Too bad I didn't try to do something with my (and probably half everyone else's) idea for a more-than-binary format.
I'll give that question a definite probably. I was replaying Earthbound in an emulator(Have the cart, retired the SNES) two years ago at 22, and I've been playing FFIV on GBA till I beat it thoroughly (emulating it next to actually get those rare items.)
Except game console power supplies, like many electronics supplies, are designed to be run much closer to their peak continuous power than computer supplies.
My PC runs ~100Watts when I have a 500Watt supply. The Gamecube runs ~30-40Watts with a 48Watt supply.
If you don't believe the PS3 will run around 300watts, just look at the 360's max-loaded overheating power supplies.
No, Siamese twin is not dual-head person, because they are two people grafted together. They cannot think and act as one, only get very close, but my other personalities and us are all in one brain.
This isn't for the poor, or the few. This is for corporations and schools that have a lot of people(even students?) who want to make podcasts, but lack the know-how(students lack the authorization on the PCs there.)
So your company has 50 managers who want to do podcasts and you believe it can make them more productive or whatever. Or your school has 50 teachers.... and it will add educational value by interesting students.
So now you have a choice, pay the IT guy an extra (50*24) 1200 hours a year, hire somebody else for the same(part-time job for me, yay!) or buy this box for $2k and he works an extra 12 hours a year making sure podcasts get uploaded(teachers/managers can censor them if needed.)
Au contraire! China is actually a counterexample, and your argument _promotes_ the Great Firewall of China, because my illegal-in-China message wouldn't get to China, and they would have no justification, or reason, to prosecute me.
Ironically, once I got Kubuntu on it, my (removable-disk-less fanless) laptop was much cooler than with the OEM install of Windows XP Home, or the after-college install of Win XP Pro. With Windows, or unfortunately the Knoppix that followed when my CD-ROM died, I needed a fan blowing on it to keep it comfortably cool. Now it just stays cool unless compiling.
I'm a Ubuntoo fan. My server is running Gentoo for the web/game server because I want to learn how to program again, but I'm too fsck -n lazy, but I can find the occasional typo in a header file and set it to compile.
My desktop is Kubuntu. I'm too lazy to do a hard install or long wait for my desktop. Plus I learned enough skillz using gentoo that I can install the programs I need make DVDs out of those self-degrading women. Oh, those and the DVR rips of Colbert Report.
Except when you learn that supplier 2 and 3 have DSLAMs in the same C.O. with a downed OC uplink, while the backup OC is reserved for customers with business-grade accounts...
A better one would be mostly the same, except I have terms in my contract, that they can sue breach of contract, to not share the lawnmower. I think with a lawnmower I have to good chance of getting caught. But I do have an acre of land to mow, and I like to get every little bit, so it takes me 6 hours with the cheap rent-a-mower, or I could pay $35 for the faster one and get done in three. But they expect people with the fast mower to use it for 40 minutes, because they do actually pay twice the lease for it. So, since I have a bigger lawn, am I stealing mower time from somebody else? No. Because my lawn is bigger, and it will always be bigger, should I pay more for the mower? Yes. If a friend pays me $15 to mow his lawn, I would need a business-class contract and pay $60 for the mower because I'm reselling. Same if I'm doing it for my mother for free.
If I could get unrestricted 1.5M/512K DSL with no service throttling, is it worth the $60 Centurytel charges for Business 1.5MB DSL? In my area at least, absolutely! Not that they will let me get it, but hey, whatever. Should I pay the same for 1.5M/256K that I'm getting now, plus restrictions, plus initial connect lag? Hell no, but I don't have a choice.
Well I would wait and see for the Breach of Contract letter and threat to sue. Because if you have the proper business line contract(you do agree to one when you get phone service, if only verbally) then you are quite free to do exactly as you just proposed. Except then you'd need at least a dozen neighbors to break even, run your own wiring, etc... and then you might as well be a phone company yourself.
Except that, like many corporations, Radio Shack uses an internal WAN with a special message system that is treated like email, but from my view of it working at a franchise, isn't really email, and definitely isn't accessible from the Intarweb.
If you were AMD's spokesman I would be cheering for Intel by now. You can't spell bummer in the subject; Cheetah, the product name; dual for fecks sake; and you capitalize ram, a common word, instead of Opteron, a trademarked word.
If this is what it is to be an AMD fanboy, count me out. I'd rather be literate.
No. Wireless access is a very local service(~150ft in most cases) with local jurisdiction. This is what the law is about. That these networks are accessing an interstate service is inconsequential (although making that a trigger requirement is probably borderline.) The law is intended to prevent abuse of or damage resulting from open access to a wireless network connection.
You know those little 4-6 foot dishes pointing off into the horizon?
They're pointing at another tower(aka 'Cell' despite the drop of the term used being 'Cellular phones') so yes, they do skip much of the long-distance cost. Local(to where you are) calls and calls to areas outside their coverage(esp. with satellite uplink to some of the newer towers for areas where they do have coverage) are still mostly landline, but also at bulk rates.

Too bad it isn't so in the US, in most states you get no unemployment if you quit, only if you're fired or laid off.

Upgrade there should be "Upgrade" as its probably upgrading from XP Professional Enterprise/Corporate Edition

'Funny' is a funny way to mod this one, especially for me, since most of my game purchases are older games.
So that's why RadioShack's Plug 'n' Power bombed when they dropped the store brand and went straight for X10-branded stuff...
