Web applications are great in theory. The problem is still that you need IE to run them properly. IE is being discontinued for mac, so that doesn't make it easy to justify web applications just to run on macs.
If you can think of "few companies that deploy proprietary desktop applications on a wide basis" you obviously haven't worked very many non-technology companies. Most places use something until it no longer works. There are LOTS of places that still run their mission critical applications on old VAX servers from the 70s.
is that you need to make all your corporate applications run on your mac. Not so much a hurdle as a brick wall.
And you can hook it up on your Earth Simulator

That's Really special and all, but there are only a couple dozen computers on the planet that could handle this.
per screen resolution up to 3840 x 2400
So 10 screens as they show is a resolution of 19,200 x 4800. That's 92 Megapixels.
That's 117 times as many pixels as a 1024x768 display.
All of a sudden your Geforce whatever is looking a little lame. It's still pretty cool.
I think that the court should go house to house to the plaintiffs and charge them one count of child endangerment for each wireless phone, cell phone, video camera, RF remote control, RC car, TV, and Monitor. (CRTs put off more radiation in a few seconds than a Wifi base station does in a few days)
Does the poor and oppressed in the world need the internet. The answer is yes. We get caught up in this egocentric world of "what have you done for me lately" that we don't understand that there are a lot of poor saps out there that have no access to the educational, cultural, and social facilities that we in the industrialized world have outside our front doors.
I mean, do you realize how many more chinese men there are than women? It's in the tens or hundreds of millions. They REALLY need pr0n.
This is all BS. Tech people recommend what they know. What most of them know is what they learned in the six weeks it took them to get their MCSE. QED.
Technical professionals won't recommend Apple or linux because they recognize that the best tool for the job is one that employees understand.
First off, there is more to safety than crime. There is also running your car into an embankment because it is too dark to see anything.
You can slow down a nuclear reaction only so much, and so quickly. You have lovely graphite rods that you insert to control reaction speed, but they are not the type of thing that you can change within a couple of minutes. To fully cool a nuclear reactor takes two years. The adjustmets they make are a miniscule couple of percent.
Aside from the obvious safety factor of light at night, streetlights are absolutely CRITICAL to the operation of a modern power grid. Generators require a certain load on them to release generated electricity. The plants CAN NOT be turned down low when it gets to be night with no demand. You cant slow down a nuclear reaction because people are asleep, and you cant let a coal plant cool down because it needs to operate constantly at a minimum temperature.
Streetlights provide that load, and make us safer.
perhaps the statement "Making slick computers that work because the manufacturer controls the implementation of EVERY SINGLE piece of hardware to ensure quality, and have pretty icons that allow the basic tasks that any computer should be able to do and has a few major applications that die-hard fans demand for productive uses niche.
Anybody remember the VESA Local Bus? I didnt think so. It was a step between ISA and PCI for video cards. With PCI, out went the VLB, and I cant express how much I hope that all the crappy little buses that have sprung up can get replaced by a new PCI. (AGP,AMR, NMC, PCI-X, etc)
My question to you all is would anything be saved by slapping the USB and firewire onto PCI-3?
The funny part was that the bad kid kept it in a stainless steel foam padded briefcase. The power glove ruined alternative interfaces forever. The hand is the most natural interface humans have, but show anybody a glove control, and "power glove" is the first thing out of their mouth before the laughing starts.
The government does a LOT of things without telling you about them. Secrets allow important things to be done, and for bad people to be caught without knowing that they are being chased. It's called the element of suprise. Advertise an anti-spam solution, and a clever spammer will figure out a way around it before it even hits the market. Monitor the spammer before they think anybody is watching, and you may be able to catch them doing bad things without covering their tracks. I say secrets are for my own good. Go Feds.
A keg is something like 22.5 gallons. Each person can consume 1-2 gallons of beer in a weekend. (assuming they arent heavy drinkers) By my calculations, you will need about 8-10 kegs, taps, and rental pressure systems.
Seriously, what do you need to network on your person? If the only connection is between a PC and a cell phone then I will do just fine with a cradle. I just dont understnad what the intention was, and it appears that I am not alone.
What kind of commie bullshit is this. TV broadcasters are using the spectrum that belongs to the US taxpayers, and arent paying a cent to do so. In return, they support our national information infrastructure and promote educational and community development. I can absolutely promise you that there is no way in hell that I would pay a cent for broadcast television channels, and just because you dont know poor people dosent mean they dont exist.
I just finished college in a high-tech major. I can say first hand that for the most part, a laptop is useless. Either get a cheapo desktop or just use lab computers. Palmpilots are for people with important things to do, not school. You will probabally be happiest with paper and pencil in class, and the desktop is just nice for internet/email/etc. If you want a game system, get a playstation. It will bring people over to you to play games instead of making you a hermit loser playing quake with people in craplakistan.
Anything that even slightly loosens the US domination of military and weapons technology is a good thing.
This is quite possibly the worst idea in the long, tragic history of bad ideas. The geopolitical situation of the world is far different from the early cold war-era thinking in which statements like this could be rationalized. I'm not discussing rights here, I'm discussing responsibilities.
The US government has a good, but not flawless, record of fighting for the rule of the people. We are a nation that has demonstrated time and time again that we have the capability to act with justice, reason, restraint, and for the greater good. That is what earns the "right" to utilize technology such as GPS and WMD. Did afghanistan have those rights? How about North Korea? What about al-qaida? What if they wanted to launch their own GPS?
Thinking about a "deterrent force" is folly at it's worst. The ONLY deterrent that has any merit is a sole benign superpower. The US has an arms gap with the rest of the world that literally scares would-be troublemakers into submission. If we had frenched out in afghanistan, in Iraq, or against other terrorists wolrdwide, how many little uber-bin ladens would be running around, emboldened by a percieved impotance and unwillingness to confront and destroy.
Some feel as though this is a deal with the devil, and one has to respect that due dilligence. They call us imperialists, they call us conquerors. The fact is that we are the greatest force of counter-imperialism the world has seen. We routinely stick up for those that are to be subjugated. We free the oppressed, repair their country, and then we LEAVE, the burden shouldered by American industrial might and the US taxpayer. Have a little respect, or just sit there and think about how much hared it would be to be speaking japanese right now.
While this seems like a good idea for europeans, it really isnt. Two reasons. 1) existing market for GPS products. 2) potential for military abuse.
There exists billions of dollars in infrastructure to use the Navstar GPS system including software, hardware, weapons, and base stations. A new system may not gain commercial traction, and if it does, it just splinters the existing market, limiting potential improvements.
As for military applications, what happens diplomatically when the frenchies or the belgians or some other group of fruity bastards mandate that their system be left on while the US is fighting the next war for them? What does it mean if they turn it off? Even so, the french are notorious for buying and selling state secrets, so when equipment that can read the encrypted systm starts ending up in north korea, everybody has a big problem on their hands.

I suppose we now know where California governor (for a few more weeks) Davis spends his summers.

IPv6 is going to be about as "sudden" of an occurance as the production of Duke Nukem 4ever.

I'm sorry, but when exactly did linux become a viable desktop system?
Looking at something "logically" and then extrapolating is hardly evidence to support a claim.

How about programming in Javascript. Works just fine and is more capable than basic ever was.
maybe companies need to find a GOOD use for the technology before people buy in. Playing splinter cell is NOT a good use.

A) Track Pay-ins and payouts
B) Ensure payouts large enough to maintain quota.
It's in the manual. It's in the disclaimer at the casino front desk. I'm glad a mathematical formula verified it, but it wasnt a secret.
