So what would it be like to hit turbulence at Mach 7.6? Or for that matter if a rivet was not quite flush? I'll bet you'd get a lot of Gs then, maybe too many to notice.
Of the technology required to construct the US$10-billion elevator, the only piece that does not exist is the material that would constitute the ribbon
That cracks me up.

And about 16GB of memory. Either you put 4GB DDR333 SIMMs in your four slots, or you have a mobo with a lot of SIMM slots. Having a larger address range is great, but I wouldn't want it if I don't get more memory as well;) Let's hope the memory prices can fall a little again.
But you're addressing *virtual* memory, not physcal RAM (unless you're a kernel hacker). Big pointers will come in really handy the first time you try to mmap that 6 GB movie file.
Unless you start holding molecular or biological information on you PC or want pointless resolution on the images it will take a while before you fill 4gb. (you probably wouldn't run that kind of stuff on a mainstream PC anyhow)
That amount of data-requirement is probably 5-10 years off and there will have to be major SMP improvements in PC's for it to be pratical.
Apparently somebody doesn't know the data capacity of the $12 DVDs at Wal-Mart. Exotic? Hardly. Now that I'm using my PC as a VCR, I'm constantly hitting my head on the 2 gigabyte barrier, and it's a pain.
SMP? Two processors are dominated in every way by a single processor twice as fast. Let's max out conceptually clean systems before resorting to tricks that complicate the programmng model.
No, he was right the first time. Spending a fortune rewriting components that are already available is an incredibly stupid idea.
It all just depends on the size of the buyer. It's disgusting what the Govt. has spent on MS Office over the years. They could have had something tailor made for far, far less. The waste grows worse every year as millions more are shelled out for identical copies of the same old software.
This important question does have an answer. Note that pleated or printed TP has a 'front' and a 'back.' If you feed the paper from under the bottom,the decoration faces the wall. Therefore, the TP artists, engineers, and designers clearly intended for paper to be fed over the top.
Alot of what people "lost" came from the bubble, which had to burst. *Some* of the stock market depression is due to corruption, but they're saying P/E ratios are still high compared to historical standards, so isn't it mostly "just" a correction?
The price of digital decoders in TVs will eventually approach zero, but Cable-TV prices NEVER come down, and digital cable costs more than analog.
Kinda like CDs. Prerecorded CDs *still* cost more than tapes, and the prices of the CD player and a single CD are getting *very* close. (You can get a CD player for $20 on special).
Only for those who didn't take time to read the whole article, here is the gist:
The final message that we're going to make use of is WM_TIMER. This is a slightly odd and very dangerous message, since it can contain (as the second parameter) the address of a timer callback function. If this second parameter is non-zero, execution will jump to the location it specifies. Yes, you read that right; you can send any window a WM_TIMER message with a non-zero second parameter (the first is a timer ID) and execution jumps to that address. As far as I know, the message doesn't even go into the message queue, so the application doesn't even have the chance to ignore it. Silly, silly, silly...

But wouldn't the scramjet work at lower speeds in denser atmosphere, or not?
Sounds like you lucked out, as they forced you to quit while you were ahead.
I would like to know how they can go to the moon for 10% of what it costs us to build a single bomber.

I had the same reaction, but then I realized I could actually buy that system for about a grand.

I would like to personally thank you for the stock market implosion.
1) Get a loan
2) Have the loan forgiven
3) Profit!
Don't for get ADVERTISING and BILLING.
Why is it that a privacy policy is not a contract, but a shrinkwrap license is?
P.S. kudos on your timing of the stock market.
Is interlaced TV as crappy as interlaced computer displays were?

It's a myth.
Fine, you can have a 100% money-back guarantee. Happy?
As for pre-empting *future* attacks by Iraq, that's a good motivation for ousting Saddam, but it's not covered by the resolution you cited.
How does that cover Iraq?
This has been my major complaint about Wine for about 3 years!
