My god, listen to yourself! My how things have changed...
in 1995, that quote may have read "Right now I'm sticking with Intel, but if AMD can give me the same as Intel for less money, I'll switch over in an instant"
Now Intel is the one who is trying to play catch up since AMD clearly beat them to the 64-bit party... by a long shot..
While his family would have no liability, there would presumably be a liability against his Estate since in most places, it is technically illegal to commit suicide.
Most cheap gigabit switches also do not have a non-blocking switch architecture. For example, the Hawking series of gigabit switches only have a 2Gb/s backplane (1Gb each direction), so you're still sharing bandwidth among all of the connected link partners. While it is technically still a switch, the performance just isn't there. You need to make sure that the manufacturer makes a specific claim of a non-blocking switch architecture, because there is a flood of these cheap switch ICs that do not have it. If the box does not say it is non-blocking, you have to assume that it isn't, and move along to another brand.
You're not believing it because as the drain increases, so do the losses across the internal resistance of the battery... doubling the load cuts the time to less than half... even more so as current increases because the resistive losses in the battery increase with the square of the current. If you dead-short a 1.2V NiMH battery with an internal resistance of about 300mOhm, you'll get something like 4 amps, losing all 4.8 Watts in the battery...

"If you put it in the sun, the water will evaporate faster and more energy will be transferred"
Yes, more energy will be transferred - from the incident radiation from the Sun, not from the contents of the pot. The whole point is to use the latent energy of the contents as the primary source of heat for vaporization.
of Microsoft, Sun, and SCO. This agreement is great for all three companies, and will further work to lock out Linux and other OSS alternatives. M$ and $un both license SCO "IP," so it follows that products from both companies will probably result in income for $CO. Micro$oft and $un will probably work to further "privatize" java and lock out the OSS market. They will also probably develop closed networking and server standards that will see wide adoption. I don't see how this is a good settlement at all... Instead of the two giants fighting each other, they are fighting together against the little folks. Not good... not good at all...
ALL RFID tags MUST be PERMANENTLY disabled BEFORE a purchased article leaves the premises of the place it was purchased.
It would be a simple, one-sentence law that would solve the entire problem. Of course, our government would rather spend a billion dollars in pork barrel research grants in order to come to the same conclusion... I'm sure there's a Vermont think-tank that is pushing Sen. Leahy for this "investigation"
The crime still would have been committed in $other_country, and it would be up to the $other_country-ans to arrest the criminal.
Why do you think Nigeria is such a popular place for just the scam you're talking about? Because a) they know our gov't is legally powerless to do anything about it and b) their own government can be easily bribed....
So, to answer your question, NO, it would NOT be perfectly okay with me, but at the same time, we would have no right to invade another country's sovreignty in order to arrest them.
"Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?!" - Walter Sobchak
Well, I guess I won't be able to run my own mail server anymore... I guess I'll have to leave that to big greedy corporations who can afford $2k a year for the privelege... oh, and BTW, email will no longer be free, either, because that cost will be recouped...
YET ANOTHER instance of something open and free being handed over to corporate america for its exploitation...
This is awesome... It's about time someone gets a head on their shoulders. When the US can prosecute foreign nationals for doing something in a foreign country, that's the end of it... Say someone spits on the sidewalk in New Delhi? Well, it seems the US should have that person extradited to the US because it's against the law to spit on the sidewalk in the US.
It is ridiculous for the US to think that it can extend its laws beyond its sovreign boundaries and apply them in OTHER sovreign states, to people who are neither IN the US or citizens thereof. It is clearly against just about every international law and treaty on the books (with a few notable exceptions, *cough* UK *cough*).
When in Rome... right? I give the US about 10 years before the rest of the world gets sick of our shit and blows us off the face of the Earth with a massive trade war.. our economy is our most vulnerable weakness...
HONEYWELL also hires good programmers - and I mean *GOOD* programmers. If you are a student who is interested in applying for a summer internship in Fort Washington (Philly suburb), Pennsylvania, you need to get in touch with me NOW as we're starting the hiring process SOON. We also have many open full-time positions in various parts of the country and globe, so by all means if you are experienced, I'd also like to hear from you.
Microsoft will hold this up on appeal for DECADES while they spend money getting sympathetic politicians elected in Europe... what's funny is that they'll probably spend more money greasing political palms and buying elections than they would spent if they simply paid the fine... but they'd never want to admit being wrong...

You missed that I was called by the _credit card_ company... I don't keep my license in my wallet... the cops had called the customer service number on the back of my credit card and let them know they had my card. The credit card company then called me to let me know the police had it..
I dont necessarily agree... One night I went to the local K-Mart to buy an air conditioner... while loading it into my car, I placed my wallet on the roof since my soccer shorts didn't have a pocket (this was a midnight trip made because it was SO FSKCING HOT that night)... anyway, my wallet had flown off the roof right in front of a bar on the way home. The next morning, I got a call from my credit card company saying that the local police department had my wallet. When I went to retrieve it, all of my cards, AND MY CASH, were still in my wallet. No charges were made and everything was fine. The police said that a bar patron turned the wallet in to an officer he saw stopped at the red light in front of the bar.
I treated the guy and his family to a steak dinner at a local steakhouse to show my gratitude. I've rambled on forever, but the moral of the story is that honesty should be encouraged and rewarded.
look at what happened to drivers and physicians who let lawyers and insurance companies start corrupting everything!
Yes, you WILL have to carry code malpractice insurance, and it will consume more than half of your income just like malpractice insurance does for doctors.. and just like a lot of car insurance payments are half of the payment on the car itself!

Tazers are very LOW power.... but very high voltage... the current is in the range of microamperes..

Yeah, it's too bad for you that there's no such thing as a magnetic monopole...
How many times are you guys going to run this story, anyway?
Because the IRS cannot tax a foreign business that is doing business in a foreign country...
