How Has Sending a God Damn Probe to a space rock Benifited humanity in any way?
Look sure the Luna Missions brought back a few rock samples, But The Apollo Missions actually brought a drill and took real core samples.
Once You can build a Robot that can move around and drill a hole to get real historical samples as apposed to the product of today's weather then it might be worth it, But until that time the only platform we have for doing these tasks is to send people.
I know Distractions cause so many Accidents every year, Therefore not only should we ban the use of cell phones, but also eating in the car, Looking at maps or even using a radio.
You don't know how many accidents have been cause my sister singing in the car to the radio, I mean you can't really have both hands on the wheel while keeping your ears plugged.
Based on GDP per Area, I would put china as a developing county.
I would use GDP per Capita but i think the large population in india/china kinda skews the results, But this approach doesn't really do justice to Russia, Canada, Australia, or Brazil.
Whose Wise Idea was it to start putting salt on the Road, I bought a car from up north and bottom was rusted out, I've seen beach cars that were in better shape.
Down here when it snows more then 1/2 inch the whole city shuts down.
So why cant the public unite to create a lobbying organization? Instead of all the bullshit, people donate money to buy politicians. Its no different to what companies do except it doesn't hide behind silly names.
I'd be willing to donate $25 to a legalized bribery fund to get my agenda heard.
Troika was always an overly ambitious company. Their writing and setting development was top notch, but all their releases demonstrated an apparent lack of management oversight and nitty-gritty game programming/scripting expertise. Bloodlines is a great example: the first two and a half areas are brilliant, with rich characters and excellent writing and comparatively few bugs. It was among the best FPSRPGs I'd ever played.
Then the rest of the game is increasingly a trainwreck, until the last level is just a silly run and gun through a repetitive skyscraper, which was so regressive in terms of design that it smacked of FPS games pre-Half-Life. Tons of stuff was obviously cut from the game, and it seems quite likely they had to rush it out the door to make deadline, with stuff unfinished.
Arcanum had many of the same flaws as Bloodlines - stronger early game than endgame, cut or abandoned gameplay elements, bugs and a lack of fine-tuning - but on nowhere near the same scale.
I always liked that game, Granted i can't ever remember playing the end of it.
As a more slashdot friendlier terms, do you really care how a pizza place makes your pizza? No. You only care about how good it tastes when you eat it.
God If only ISP's took this approach. If your packet isn't there in 100ms it's free!
At the start The President of the United States walked around without security and among dissenters themselves wearing guns. The idea was that as an elected leader he would be protected by his fellow Americans.
I've had more crashes with Windows 7 in the two months that I've had it than in the entire 4 years I ran the Windows XP box it replaced.
I can't speak for a business environment, but for a home environment, running over-clocked even, I've not had a single OS crash, and I could probably count the number of program crashes on both hands, and that's just running the RC since it became available, and on a machine that's over two years old. I've also not had a single issue with audio (running onboard AND a soundblaster), not had the issue with the interface, and my networking is solid as a really large, flat rock. And that's with having a router over a year old, the desktop, a 360, a dvd player, a NAS (with a printer hooked in), and my laptop, each streaming video in some fashion.
I'd say I'd pushed, networking-wise, about as far as you'd be likely to go and it'd just be a matter of scaling up for a business environment. I don't know where your issues come from, but they're not pervasive across the install base.
Just scaling up, HA!
I take you do backups to tape nightly at the house? Do you have your single machine on a domain? I bet you also use 802.3ad at your house like my office workstation.
As I said above, that would be the energy of a single photon. Not relevant to energy transmission on the scale we are talking here. Looking up a formula that has energy and wavelength in it is not enough to understand where this formula is actually relevant. Now, if we were talking about single photon detectors, that would be something different. But we are not.
yet you ignore the other half of my post about the GHz Barrier?
People still get movies in the mail from netflix, I thought they had all switched to getting it through the tubes.
Really, All content should come over the wire, be saved to a hard drive and then be watched on demand wherever you are. I want something like Tivo/Slingbox with itunes like market so i can buy movies and download to the device. and then watch them anywhere i happen to be.

I'd Like to play the Files without Maxing out one of my cores, What if I want to play crysis and watch a movie at the same time? Will the movie Skip?

Mod this up,
So This hack will mean my linux install won't be crippled to only access half the memory?
Obviously there is only one solution.

Bah! Without an edit post feature I have no remorse.
You what's actually harder then Getting in the kernel community, Writing Good Kernel Code!

And look how well that worked out:

Um.... Before Abe Lincoln the only attempt was on King Andrew the first?
Pfft... GCC,
When I was a kid I had to learn to program using Machine Code, Uphill, both ways!

I always laugh at people that smack both sides of the pack, I don't even smoke and i know you don't do that.
Making a tincture and vape it in one of those krave's sounds pretty neat, But i think I'll stick to my volcano.

I wonder what percentage of members are still active since Slashdot doesn't let anyone delete their account.
or edit their pot^Hsts
You just failed physics 101. Frequency has absolutely no impact on energy in a signal.
Indeed, That's Why the the GHz Barrier was a myth, in fact we should have Thz machines if it weren't for the man keeping them down.
*cough*E = h*(c/lambda)*cough*
Shouldn't it be, "firm to SELECT 'Database', 'Web Server' FROM 0-Days;"?
no no no.... In soviet Russia, Database SELECT you!

indeed, I thought HTML 5 was supposed to magically make Javascript and other client side scripting languages*Cough*Flash*Cough* go away.
ok neat, But how did the main asteroid belt form again,
Wouldn't the drag of the gas slow it down?
