If you were to check who are the ones donating most, you'd see that it's often (not in all cases, no) people who have suffered / had relative suffer of what they are giving for.
We had a cancer case in my wife family, and suddently everyone started talking about having given money to help fight cancer, someone at the PHD level changed direction to go fight it, and all.
So, having seen that, and heard that before, I believe many people basic reason to give isn't that they are simply thinking about the well-being of the whole planet, but more about helping on something you are aware of. In the case of blood giving, it's either that, or they are Homers wanting donuts =)
which number basis are you using for your order of magnitude ?
Base 4 ?
Last I heard rental movie prices were going down, but at the highest point they were selling at 4 time the price of the normal one. At least up here.. =)
What if people actually read the book that come with their cellphone ? I recently got an LG285, and it's clearly written that it can kill me, and it's so good that it has many mode in which it can achieve it.
First one that could kill me is if I was to answer a call when the phone is charging, it's said that it could detonate, killing me instantly (WTF!)
It's also said that I should not make a call when it's charging, since the power emitted could cause me to die if I was wearing a pacemaker, or could cause long term damage.
There was 2-3 other things, but that's the one which really worried me..
Ovonic Battery Company, Inc. was bought by texaco not long after they got the first patent I just described, and successfull patent application shows it up.
From wikipedia, on the toyota EV (based on the rav4) that was scrapped somewhere in 2003. Would need to validate the sources.
Whether or not Toyota wanted to continue production, it was unlikely to be able to do so, because the EV-95 battery was no longer available. Chevron had inherited control of the worldwide patent rights for the NiMH EV-95 battery when it merged with Texaco, which had purchased them from General Motors. Chevron's unit won a $30,000,000 settlement from Toyota and Panasonic, and the production line for the large NiMH batteries was closed down and dismantled. Only smaller NiMH batteries, incapable of powering an electric vehicle or plugging in, are currently allowed by Chevron-Texaco.
From level 25 to 45 I encounter a single player... beside he was angry and cursing at me because I had just finished cutting a tree he was on his way to loot, so I killed him.. I guess I was the only one left afterward =)
Sadly, the input is not in a lossless state (already compressed) and the waveform you obtain has some noise on it, which, when compressing it again, will lead to a different result. You can try using an original recording, and compress it once. Keep that one, and use it to compress & compress & compress again, always at the same quality.
Tell me the result after 20-30 compressions at the same bit rate.
There's a problem with the paid antivirus: they are often much more bloated than what you want. They don't have complete configuration, as they are built for the masses. They often take out a large chunk of memory, add things up at tons of places you don't want and just slow down your computer as much as the virus they prevent.
And that's when they aren't tampering with the requests your browsers are sending, breaking the webpages you view when they are enabled..
Here, on DSL only, I have 7 resellers, 5 of them offering no contracts, no limits and no blocked port, 3 of them with no activation fees, at 6MB / 800k for amounts from 25$ (can) to 40$. It just depend if you want the extra anti-virus tool, a wireless modem+router package or things like this.
On cable we have 2 resellers, only 1 without port limits, but both with month download limit, so they aren't interesting.
Since I'm in a small place compared to the USA, that my previous small village (less than 4k poeple living there) had similar offers, it's hard to beleive you could not find such thing in the US, it's more a matter of searching the right places.
Yes, I initially took the big ISP, and got burned with the limitations they had put on their seemingly unlimited offering. I used that to get out of the contract, and then I investigated much more deeply before chosing my next company, and it was worth it. I also don't have any of the deep packet inspection trouble that my friends have with torrents, even without using any encryption =)
There... I just had a though. While it might seem pretty harsh to some, all the advantages are quite nice. So let's hear it.

Yeah, it's simple, just thrown out a big, nice and juicy nuclear bomb on Louisiana and lets them learn first hand on what's evolution:) In 60 years they should have understood what it can bring;)
Note: Yes, this is a joke.. I found that idea funny and though I should share it. Let's see;)
I've had an sli rig before, and I noticed what you'd call microstutters on a good old CRT but it wasn't as you pointed. Also, depending on which SLI mode you were using, the frames rendering where split up between the two cores ( dynamically, so one could end up doing 1/3 the other 2/3 if there was less things to render in ) at which point your explanation fail to explain the stutterings (maybe it was just bad drivers, that was 6600GTs at the beginning).
Also, for your explanation, on any good game running on sli high-tech cards, your CPU usage should be pretty topped off, meaning that it will be spending most of it's time preparing the data for the next frame, thus preventing the kind of results you spoke of from happening.
Anyway, I switched to a 7800GTX as soon as they got out for not much more than I sold both my 6600s and I've been happy ever since (did the same thing to go to the 8800GT, but this time I won't make it to the gtx280 I believe:( )
It's also very depending on the resolution you are using. If you are playing on a 30" monitor, the 1GB of ram (for 1 gpu) will make a very big difference in itself in 2560x1600 @ 4x. In some cases the 9800GX2 (also 1gb, but 512mb effective by GPU) can't even run the game.

Well he just mistyped a little and meant the states they are in ?
First one, where using multiple batteries with a cooling system, might have been quite hard on them.

Soon(tm) is, as you just saw, one of their trademark, with it`s own definition.
Sadly, it's not an MMO.

I'll still keep waiting for it !

Nop.

Well he has full access so he can do the search from the notebook and get perfect results :)

So, it's a no thank you for me.
well, I had not used it in a while, so I fired up my old pidgin client and I can connect just fine.
Yep, it's working.

Easy.
Get a real ISP.

Why do you explain that many countries in the world are still exploiting children if the technology advancement were more profitable ?
3400 / 105 = ~300 ?
Which system is this approximation based upon ?

Creating an auction site is very easy... the thing is you need to have it known and trusted. And I guess Google could manage that =)
