Why would you think that? You obviously have no children. A newborne babies brain can handly approximately 0 arms/lets/appendages. They can't even really focus their eyes. All of that is learned behavior which comes to them slowly through months and years of practice.
For example, the brain of an average human hasn't learned to control the legs enough to walk until somewhere around 1 year old.
The ever talented folks at Blizzard always release dual platform games on the first release.
Define always. I distinctly remember breaking down and buying my first PC largely because, despite promise after promise, Starcraft was not released for the mac until much later than the PC version.
Why you think that a professor failing his entire class constitutes a failure on the part of the university is a mystery to me
It's not neccesarily a failure of the University (except for the part that hires professors) but it is most certainly a failure on the part of the professor. If a professor fails all or most of his class it means he either did not adequately cover the subject material, or he did not use reasonable judgement in determining what a passing grade would be. Either way it's the professors failure, not the students.
When the integrity of the database is the main concern of the application, I might write all of the business logic in a Java, PHP or C++ layer, hoping that no-one dinks with the data.
Thats absolutely backwards. If the integrity of the database is the main concern you should use the database integrity contraints IN THE DATABASE. Implementing your logic in some random language and hopeing no-one "dinks" with the data is insanity. If you put your logic in the database (ie stored procedures) and made proper use of constraints, no-one COULD dink with the data.
Exactly, and given that the stocks in question cannot be sold for roughly a month after the IPO, this will hurt the employees expected profits. By the time they can sell, the stock may well be trading for much less than the IPO price.
I will vote only when there is someone I respect and trust enough to vote for.
Have you ever actually voted? Because if you had, you would probably know that there are usually various referendums and "vote of the people" items on the ballot that affect you directly and have nothing to do with any political candidate or party (except that they were proposed by one/many). For example municipal bond proposals and tax rates are often added to the ballot.
If you RTFA you'll find out that "the same level of performance" CAN NOT be had by building a cluster. Clusters only help when a problem is easily paralelized, meaning it can be broken into many small parts which can easily be handled by their own low power processor. Other problems (many modeling applications) do not fit this description and require specialized hardware which can take a large, complex problem and deal with it in one massive chunk... A cluster will choke on these problems just like your workstation with the same processor would.
I'm just sad I had to read this far to find that response, which is the only logical reason for these DVD's. You won't see these sold to consumers like the fanatical and uninformed submitter ranted about. You'll see them at blockbuster and love them for exactly the reason outlined above, you don't have to return it.
This is _GOOD_ for consumers AND blockbuster. Consumers get no more late fees, blockbuster gets much lower overhead...
In a round about way yes...think it's been 6 months now and not a single bill? Gawd I love corporate beaurocricy:D
I'd be careful. You signed a contract detailing what you would pay for what service and you have been using that service. Technically, it's not the companies responsibility to remind you to pay. In other words they can perfectly legally charge you interest, late fee's, or just refer you to collections and shut down your service.
Why doesn't KB just cut his losses and slink away before he's made a greater fool of, if that's possible.
Are you kidding? He's trying to sell a book, it's 100% in his best interest to stay in the spotlight as long as possible no matter what that takes. Who's the greater fool, KB with his million dollars in book revenue or the people who laugh at him on/. all day, confident in their superiority.
Who said anything about mission critical work? Just because larger corparations don't have asinine deadlines and DO have realistic schedules that don't require 90 hour weeks doesn't mean the above people aren't supporting mission critical systems.
There is a lot of difference between spaceship one and a space shuttle. FOr example the entire exterior of the shuttle has to be examined and significant sections replaced due to the heat of re-entry. This is not an issue for spaceship one because it doesn't gain a fraction of the altitude or speed of the shuttle...
I got news for ya, $100 is chump change for an office chair. Seriously, you're off by about a factor of 10. My plain "ergonomically correct" chair was probably at least $500. Aerons were $1000+
Ahh, you're pretty much dead wrong about HP. Not only were they at one time (just after the Compaq merger for about 3 minutes) the largest PC seller in the world, they were also at the same time one of Intels biggest cooperating partners. Itanic is and has been for some time a joint Intel/HP project and HP makes no bones about the fact that they plan on replacing PA/RISC with Itanic ASAP. So I'd say they were in a position to command just as low of prices as Dell, or anyone.
You obviously have no forethought. At $1000 a month you'll never be able to own your own home, provide for a family, save for retirement, etc... Just because you're currently a starving college student with no ambition doesn't mean we all are.
You know what really gets say in what gets bought at work? Cost. As in Cost of the new system, cost of migrating from the current to the new system, etc... ANybody who would by sun just because sun boxen are 1337 shouldn't be buying anything more important that business cards.
It's been interesting watching my business migrate the enterprise HW from DEC to Compaq to HP because we get to keep our OS and processor arch. I don't care how 1337 sun is, it would be hugely expensive in terms of lost productivity for us to switch.
Google doesn't house much data at all in the big picture. Think of it as a gigantic array of pointers, which almost by definition is MUCH smaller than whatever data the pointers point to...
First of all, there is no such thing as extra space in a space launch. Every ounce of payload is examined and scrutinized in order to determine if it's worth the cost of launching it.
Furthermore, we're talking about going to space here , not Fresno. I bet his support equipment alone weighs more than "150-250 lbs". He has to bring every single item he'll need to survive for a week. The water alone is probably more than 50 lbs, then there's food, oxygen, extra underwear, etc....
I got 2.6 working with Fedora 1 in about 45 minutes a couple weeks after it (lk 2.6) came out. I had no problems whatsoever, so I'm not sure what your problem was... I ran it that way for about 3 weeks with no hiccups and then switched back to the regular 2.4.x kernel so I could get hassle free updates...
What he wants to know is: Is the Bourne shell the ONLY thing he'll need. Or is he going to need a bunch of oddball utilities that don't come standard and he doesn't have a chance in hell of getting installed on the corporate HPUX/TRU64/SOLARIS/AIX/your_non_trivial_linux_here server...
For instance, if a lot of the "bourne" shells require a call to a perl 6 script, I (and most people in an enterprise situation) am out, because we're perl 5.something and won't be going to 6 for probably several years and there's no hope of changing this situation...

Seen those write can't people who 80's reference sense google makes none (think Ford F-250 but uses more gas)?
In other words, I couldn't agree more. I can't for the life of me discern what the hell what he/she is trying to say.
I'm just thankful I didn't have to read very far to find your (correct) post. If only I had mod points.

If I'm not mistaken, the production of CO2 (Carbon-dioxide) is not a big deal, it's CO (Carbon-monoxide) that we don't want.
