TFS says that "the heat wheel briefly mixes the outside air and exhaust air to create an air-to-air heat exchanger". That is not at all how it works, but is rather a side effect of the gap required to rotate the cylinder. The unit works by heating and cooling strips of metal instead of compressed gases as in a "chiller."
What exactly is he a victim of? How does Scientology go about brainwashing their "victims?" I'm curious. Whenever I hear "brainwashing" and "cult" thrown around, it's usually by people who believe in nutty things themselves, such as some guy dying and coming back from the dead 2000 years ago. I find Christian beliefs to be nutty, but I don't think people are brainwashed into them.
Good next target: ads that say "you've already won" some expensive toy.
I'm sure this is already illegal. I've never seen such an ad. Perhaps you are thinking "you may already have won," but I don't see why that should be illegal.
you could also bake on the range, but that's not as easy as just figuring out which part is the stove.
I guess you meant figuring out which part is the OVEN.:-) BOTH parts are the stove. But actually thanks for clarifying -- I always thought the range was the stove and the oven was not. And can you really bake on a range? My cooking world is being turned upside down this morning!
The "just marketing" theory doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I would say that good marketing + mediocre product == flop. How much marketing has Windows done for Vista, how much arm twisting, etc.? Yet consumers don't see a reason to actually pay more money for Vista. You might want to try on the idea that there actually is a compelling reason that people are paying a premium to buy Apple products in a personal computer market with plenty of choices out there.
Yes, I have an iPod, an iPhone, a MacBook and an Intel Core Duo. I'm pretty happy with them, although they are not perfect, Lord knows. I understand not everyone likes them, but my experience is that most people think Apple makes great, innovative products. Really, that's why the interest, I think. I don't know, I could be wrong. Your complaints about the iPod are interesting, but most people have a great experience with their iPod. I hate that Apple locks you out of your own hardware, but I get why they do it.
Apple doesn't need to anything (like not comment on a rumor) and it's the talk of the world.
And why do you think that is? The fact is that Apple has a long history of making original, compelling products that capture the imagination, so it genuinely is interesting to see what they are going to do next. The Googlephone doesn't really bring anything new to the table, really. Also, as you point out, there are no ads. But even if they were, what would they really say?
Yes, it's interesting theoretically, but in practice, I agree with others it's not going to work. Accuracy is inadequate: GPS in my car occasionally puts me on the wrong road, for goodness' sake. It's particularly bad in cities with tall buildings. Also, as pointed out elsewhere, false positives alone will make it useless.
The proper place to respond to my sigline would be to send me an email, instead of posting a foul, off-topic rant about it. Landmark has given me a powerful life, and you have a complaint about Landmark. Wow, I have an idea, let's now pretend everyone else gives a crap and have a long argument about it in the middle of a thread about something else.:-)
I don't need to know his motives. If I think it's funny that you are a jackass and laugh at you in public because of it, then I am being arrogant. That's what this author appears to me to be doing. I take it you disagree.:-) Another approach might be to take interest in how to protect users from such attacks instead of blaming them for falling prey to them.
Thus, as you suggest, mimicking or using nature's fine tuned systems is much more interesting than using some industrial detector.
You have great domain expertise, but I question your conclusion. Both using or mimicking nature's fine tuned systems and "using some industrial detector" to do chemical analysis are imperfect works in progress. Why toss one out in favor of the other at this point? Both are perfectly viable approaches.
I would love this kind of solution if IR blasters were 100% reliable. But they occasionally fail to change channels properly, resulting in missed shows. One year, I missed an important playoff game and that was the last time I used an IR blaster setup -- I changed TV providers to one that used integrated TiVo receivers.
Be that as it may, to call a user an "idiot" because he does not know the appropriate style for an error dialog box, or having seen an odd style, does not associate that with malware, but prefers to continue on task if possible, shows how arrogant the author of the summary is.
iTunes reads CD's and DVD's as well as iPods and iPhones. So the common link is iTunes between them; so that should answer what one has to do with the other.

No, it's not, but using mutexes improperly is.

WTF? Brainwashed people should know better? Hmm, kind of a contradiction, isn't it?
Interesting "analysis," but it begs the question: why do those people have "cluster B" disorders? And what should we do about/for/to them?
I'm sure this is already illegal. I've never seen such an ad. Perhaps you are thinking "you may already have won," but I don't see why that should be illegal.

I guess you meant figuring out which part is the OVEN. :-) BOTH parts are the stove. But actually thanks for clarifying -- I always thought the range was the stove and the oven was not. And can you really bake on a range? My cooking world is being turned upside down this morning!
So that's what that is! I thought my MacBook had just sprung a leak!

I played with it for a couple minutes and don't see any speed difference. Can someone point to a site where Minefield outperforms Firefox?
Really? How do I get my TV to tune in between the frequencies? I don't see that in my manual. :-) I'm honestly interested in how that is done.

"Monkeys learn to play video games." I actually think that's more amazing.
If I publish a paper to arXiv, is it peer reviewed before being posted, or is it just accepted? Just curious
Um, a voucher plus the ability to use another carrier if they want to!
Oh, wait a second, sorry, I forgot I was on Slashdot! Proceed. :-)

Reality is shifty? Hmm --- not to me. What is shifty about it?
