Not all schools are crazy about the money... but then and again my school found some way to waste 3 powermac g4's to be used as research by one student (me:)) back when they were the latest and greatest from apple and had a 32 in tv in every classroom and many hallways with a fiberoptic video system.
By that time we'll already have our already overly extended lives extended even more.
But then and again this stuff might happen to soon causing more harm then good.
Besides they already have your grades well tracked... As long as you don't fail many classes I don't think they care. The teacher of that class might be worried a bit i guess. Then and again your school might be different from mine.
Nowadays getting into small classes are nearly impossible. Getting personal attention is extremely difficult. Hiding problems or issues is not a great solution because students already have trouble finding mentor type figures. I recently graduated high school and i haven't felt very close to any one of my teachers, probably because i don't know any that haven't dealt with at least 90 other students daily.
Luckily I've had plenty of mentor type figures in my life but many do not. Students need people to care about them and sometimes parents aren't enough. I think the data itself is not a bad thing... it can be used for good and bad reasons like any new information or power.
Luckily I found the administration at my school to be pretty decent. I had one chem teacher in which almost 60% of students would drop out in the first day (the other chem class students would increase). The admins knew this but didn't mind because they knew that although the guy was hard on the students he really cared and knew his stuff.
I agree with you... but I just can help but point out all the social implications of this. I hope our decendants are ready to deal with all the problems this may create. Once we understand and can reproduce how a human body works fully we should also be able to make something better (at least physically). Probably through gene manipulation but who knows what...
No matter what some group or organization will be interested in this and the human race will no longer be simple. I can imagine that one day we will be able to modify human genes so one has greater physical and genius potential then normal humans. I wonder how those with no enhancement will interact with these new beings.
It's been a while but doesn't the DC have more video ram. I remember back when DC was popular and PS2 was announced that I was surprised that the DC had more vram then the ps2.
It provides movie and music makers with more of an incentive to provide their content to pc users directly. That is a benefit for us... Movie makers know that unlike old tape bootleg movies (with loss in every single recording session), remaking perfect digital copies from a digital copy and redistributing with the net is far too easy. That is why they are hesitant.
I am not supporting palladium or current copyright law but there are benefits to the end user. I think what we really have a problem with is the law and nothing else...
As a person converts themselves into a "post-human" they are doing nothing more than murdering themselves slowly as they replace parts of their living body with non-living systems.
Since when was your hand anything but a slave to your nervous system. The only self-aware portion of your body is the mind. The hand doesn't do anything other then whatever the brain commands it to do... as does the feet and other limbs and body parts. When you replace a bad hand with something else it can also be a slave to the will of your mind. Perhaps it won't be as integrated with your mind though with pain recepters everywhere and less then complete controls.
Also your examples fo feelings is kind of flawed... the only problem i have is with chain reaction. With some effort you can also describes our feelings and decisions with these chain reactions that occur in the brain.
It looks simply like sony hype... I looked at the specs over at ign.com (http://pocket.ign.com/articles/430/430939p1.html? fromint=1).
This thing only has 8 mb of system ram and 2 mb of video ram which is significantly less then the ps2's memory. I believe the ps2 has 32 mb of ram and 8 mb of video ram (wow even that sounds small).
I think the size of this will be fine... i have a feeling it will use a minidisc type size using a dvd laser instead of cd. That would be the most cheap manufacturing process for small discs. It would also explain why this thing holds 1.8 gigs of space over the 4.7 gig of a regular dvd.
Hi, palladium was always supposed to be able to be disabled on every machine. When disabled you can't use anything that requires palladium like a broadband movie download site or whatever the applications are in the future.
Your not getting anything but a slower chip with the dragon as you will still not be able to access palladium required content.
No your simply wrong... ever since the p4 intel has always produced more heat but has provided better cooling solutions. All p4's come with heatspreaders and high quality heatsinks. AMD's haven't come out with a heat spreader as of yet (opterons have them though, and possibly the a64's) and their heatsinks are almost always worse then intel's.
Top intel processors produce more then 89 watts at full power while amd maxes around 70 watts. Intel is continuing the trend with their new prescott 3.6 ghz processor at around 119 watts.
Hmm... after we are all rich here or richer... we can send automated bots to space to work on powerplants in space and have them dig minerals or whatever...
Then we'll finalyl have the resources to explore and travel around space decently.
The point is that this wouldn't help because ALL the hijackers came here LEGALLY! The hijackers didn't try to use fake passports or anything like that. Also almost all the hijackers (if not all) were relatively unknown to us until they did their crime.
I agree with your statement partially... But I doubt the Brits had a desire to settle in India as much as the Jews back a few decades ago and up to the 80's. I'll be the first to admit my knowledge of history in this area is very limited but at one point the Jews seemed to be very hungry for land and Palestinians were displaced as a result.
I think that the suffering that the leadership may have wanted was recent in Arafat's former administration. I hope Abbas can help bring about some change.
Hi, I totally agree with you man (the AC)... are you replying to my post or my the thread above mine.
I just don't think that continued terrorism will help either of the two groups anymore. I'm well aware that if there was no terrorism or Yasser arafats past actions then there is no way Israel or the U.S. would give palestinians a land of their own. Besides if i remember correctly, terrorism was used earliest by Israeli's before they were secure about their position in the middle east.
It's very odd though... disenfranchised people (Jews) disenfranchising a totally different group (Palestinians) for their own benefit.
It costs more to send a shuttle up in orbit then to send a probe 300 million miles away and land on an alien planet.
The two rovers are sent for 800 million, each costing 400 million that way. Shuttles still cost 500 million per launch. This doesn't count any of that extra stuff, like repairs and maintenance that need to happen. Also the cost of building these shuttles are not in that 500 million number, often shuttle trips will cost more.
Besides will men really be that much better at examining red rocks then a probe. Also those rovers are hardly autonomous, we control them from here.
With that said, i'd really wish nasa was given the budget it needs, at least $30 billion. I mean although they're budget has really decreased over the years inflation has caused that $15 billion to be worth less and less every year. They really need to build some better probes, and work on IMPROVING space travel with new ships/planes/vehicles rather then using old expensive tech over and over again.
Aren't you being presumptious? I don't remember Israel ever sitting with it's hands tied while getting attacked by Palestinian suicide bombers. They almost always retaliate and assasinate terrorist leaders... even during ceasefires.
Israel didn't change and become a saint of a country, rather it became bitter to a degree as the Palestinians became bitter. But I also believe the statement by your parent (that you quoted) is a must but it alone cannot stop terrorism. Terrorists need to change to.. or die.
Games have aided me in my thinking process... i think. I used to get horrible grades in 1st/2nd grade and right after I got my sega... my grades went up... a lot higher.
There is no way any games can compete with books and some other forms of non-gaming literature because of the sheer amount of info they contain. If you can efficiently take in info from those sources then thats great. Some people forget... fortunately i'm not one of them:)

Watched more then 50% of the anime there completely? Is that considered too much?
You can buy them for real cheap... will be more compatible with current software and will probably as fast as the dragon for years to come.

Also there are multiple levels of quality, the higher levels of quality are almost lossless and file sizes are much smaller.

When you leave the cd on kazaa, your not copying it but allowing others to copy it from you.
When you leave your cd at a friends house your allowing that person to make as many copies as he wants.
In both cases you aren't copying but allowing others to...

But is Linus mostly famous for what he did after marriage or before?
Just try to electrocute your hear with it... tell us if you die or not... oh wait...
