It seems that you foget something even more important: EXPOSURE.
For the first time in history milions of people where forced to use advanced technology - machines. This alone changed evrything. Exposure was more important than tehnology it's self, because maybe the tehnology was aviabile, but there was no one willing or capable to implement it on a lage scale. After the war many people went home - more open and willing to accept machines and any other tehnology that was used in the war.
The WWII made posible and acceptable new concepts, that would've taken probably decades to reach the public.
For the first time in history the world was put in a position - to have an infra-structure to build and use machines on a large scale.
I think you're mistaken. Against all you say Ipod is cheaper then any other offering, at least in Romania. If you compare IPOD with anything on the market here. IPOD wins in all cases. IPOD vs. Creative iPod Shuffle 1GB - 200$ MuVo V200, 1GB, MP3 player, radio FM, USB, CREATIVE - 220$
iPod mini 4GB - 270$ MP3 Player MP-1000 TEAC, 1.5GB - 280$
Can't find any other product on par with iPOD 20GB.
So if I would ever buy an Mp3 player, I have no other choice. I know it's rip off compared with the price of iPOD in USA.
Stay with DFI - middle and up range infinity/lan party. They make more then decent boards. The problem with them - if you don't know what you're doing you can hunt a stupid change in bios for a very long time. Some of the options (especially NIC related seting) don't revert when you load the default settings, so your best choise is the Clear CMOS jumper. I have seen good motherboards from DFI run like crap only because the users changed something in bios and didn't remember. Had horrible experience with Gigabyte, don't know why they really suck at stability now and seem to have problems with the video cards.
It wasn't crap. Depends what are terms of comparation. If you compare Phoenix with Opera at that time, yeah it was crap. Any other browser at that time, except Opera, was crap. I was still looking for Netscape 3 at that time as the best browser.
And Phoenix 0.6 was just ok, 0.5 crashed from time to time. From my point of view Phoenix 0.6 was the last beta version of Firefox. But my mistake Pheonix 0.6 was Firebird 0.6. So in way you are right.
Yeah, but after a year or so using Firefox it's like hell to see them going like that. I like my last tab to be the last one in line, so when I close the original tab to see the next which is the first one opened, going like this to the last. I can't seem to get this to work in Opera. I've tried all the settings regarding the cycling of the tabs. And the most annoing thing is no matter what I do it returns to the original page, which is a pain in the arse, because, if I dont' want to close the original page, I don't want to stumble on it every time I close a tab.
Am I doing something wrong or there is a way to setup this behavior in Opera?
Yes some times Firefox feels sluggish, but never ever crashed on any of my computers, in none of the OS I use (windows, linux).
And dosn't seem like a beta to me, not even when it was named Pheonix.
The only real complain I have to Firefox is the fact that sometimes ocupies to much memory for my taste.
As for Opera, I like it, but it gets anoying when I close some of the tabs, and I can't predict 100% what tab is going to show up next. I've tried all the settings, but it seems to get worse.
It is me or that article doesn't give us any new info. It's no news for your average salshdoter. So it should've been someting else - an editorial or an in deept article, but no there are just some bits someone gathered them in one file.
" Good way to start a civil war actually. This is exactly the case of what happened in the 1800's. I think it was George Washington who expressed his fear that the country should be divided not only along party lines, but also along geographical lines."
The funny thing is that democracy, or at least one teory says that about it - it think it was one of Popper's teory, is the perfect way to prevent internal struggle by showing the other partys who is going to support by any means the winning party.
I wonder if USA is going to light it's fire to become an empire and live it's GOLDEN AGE, than fade into history. It has all it needs - a week world, that dosn't want to fight. With week leaders all around the world. Not that Bush is strong - is that he has a strong simple mind.
It may seem funny to many what I said, but I allways wanderd what stops USA from conquering the world or at least start dividng the pie among the super powers. It could've done it economically and 2000 looks to me like the perfect time for it.
USA need petrol by any means. It can not survive without it. It sure would be one strange empire to witness.
I would like to see them protest in China. Probably they won't get even close to see the trail of the launching rocket. So there is no problem regarding protesters.
The only problem would be a high level political protest from the other super powers.
All I can say GO GO GO CHINA!
I can already imagine this: Huston! We have a problem! We can't land here, there is an army of small yellow men waving to us. And someone in the radio is telling us that can deliver china food in 10 minutes or we can get it for free. Please advise.
I apologize. I went overboard. And yes I do believe what I said, but my aim was misplaced. And it is nice to see that you didn't follow it. Maybe there is hope for this thing called Earth.
Right... I hate when people do this. "Shouldn't we do that instead of that. To feed the hungry, to save the earth."
Let me ask you one thing - when you voted did you think of the starving? When you bought your computer did you looked a the performance price ration or to the power used/performance/your needs/price? Do you care about the water you waste? Or is the price that makes you think about it? Do your job as best as you can and you'll save the earth.
The earth will be fine... so start acting if you want a part in that, tell the others how to save the earth, show them how. Feed the hungry - damn it, it sound like the criptocomunists and power hungry from my contry trying to get reelected. And not having any other argument other then the "moral" one.
This is a kind of argument that makes my skin crawl, because we are educated to "act" acording to the moral, and not to act moral. The key word being acting.
1 Terabyte is that 1.000 gigabytes? 472 hours of film,what the hell, now we have a new system of measurement for storage?
This is/. so they the best way to say how large is the storage capacity they should say 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. (I don't think I'm the only one that counts the powers of 2 when I want to sleep or when I'm just bored.)
Really? Isn't that what Microsoft wants with DRM. Except that - they whant more that what you said, they want total control over your computer, over what you run on your computer.
They have a cross licence agreement, so each one has what the other has in production in the term of 6 to 9 months. That is why we see the SSE in AMD processors, and AMD64 instruction in Intel64 processors.
If i remember corectly Newton's first book Principia was published by a pornogrphy publisher, who could print it at a lower cost with money from Edmund Halley. All of this because the Royal Society had spent all the money in that year, for a nice fish ecyclopedia.
