Adding yet another cooling bus to the desktop sounds like a supremely unpalatable idea. It's much easier and much more reliable to move data over the network than it is to move water around in a computer.
The problem with this is that it requires you to have another closet or room to store the hard drives. People living in places like dorms or small apartments, or just apartments where they aren't allowed to do things like install sound-absorbing materials can't apply your "easier and much more reliable" plan.
Show me *any* major structure that will last 100 years with minimal maintenance in a place where the climate is as volatile as Minnesota's climate, where temperatures range from -20F to 100+F a year. And that's in the cities, where the heat island effect is exceptionaly noticable in the winter.
Those bridges weren't constructed with having nearly 150K vehicles regularly going over them every 24 hours. The ancient civilizations had marvelous constructions, no doubt. There's no structure built in the past 100 years that will last as long as half of what was build in Rome lasted. However, we abuse our infrastructures a hell of a lot more than they did.
Not to troll, but honestly, how the hell can anyone take *this* DOJ, of all DOJ's, seriously when constitutionality is at stake? Oh right, because a bunch of lawyers *weren't* fired for not going with the neo-Con flow of things....
In the Big Ten, Minnesota is the only major school that doesn't have differential tuition for their business school. Madison is pissing off all of their business students by starting up a differential tuition this coming year. An extra $500/semester for business students, and I forget how much for people that are getting Certificates in Business (our equivalent of a Minor)
If students use an older version of Microsoft Office at home, it is usually possible to translate their projects back and forth between different versions of Microsoft Office,the letter said. However, this can be a tedious process, and information may not be always be translated properly.
Yeah, because it's such a "tedious process" for whoever sets up their computers to have.doc as their default saving format instead of.docx. The last time I checked any version of Office, their Preferences menu was quite capable of that.
I'm voting for keeping it selectable when compiling the kernel.
You talk about a program favoring one scheduler over another or using generic calls. There are tons of programs out there already, without this new scheduler in mind, and they are running better than with the old scheduler. After this scheduler becomes common-placed, I'm sure the then-new programs will have some examples of running better with the old scheduler.
Keep both schedulers in the kernel, but only allow the users or the distributions to build one into the running kernels. This way it's the best of both worlds.
I tried using this a while ago, but it kept blue-screening my Windows XP install. Instead, I've resorted to using Total Commander with drivers for Reiser and Ext when using Windows. It works, but it's read-only. When I'm in Linux, ntfs-3g works like a charm. I havn't had a single problem with it yet. I would recommend ntfs-3g if the original poster was concerned about Windows support. Otherwise, has he even bothered to search this subject?
And yes, I'm sure after a month or two I'd barely even be breathing hard. Unfortunately the whining would start far before that.
So why not bike a minimum of 7.5KM each day after work? Don't give me any grief about lack of time. You're investing in your future, and spending a half hour to an hour on a bike each day is much more rewarding and fulfilling than sitting in front of the television, or on slashdot, for the same amount of time.
Maybe not in terms of shittiness, but definately in terms of over-valuation. If I bought stock in Google when it first went public, I would've cashed out long ago. But I'm not too upset, because it's not like I lost money by not investing (Nobody really had a decent expected value of a share of Google.) AOL/Time Warner deal, anybody?
Bonus - the old Series 2 gets 3 years of prepaid service (nominally $300). So your old TiVo still gets service, and lifetime is moved to your shiny new Series 3.
And when is the analog cutoff? Once all signals are in 720p or 1080, then the Series 2 will be next to worthless, unless you can sync it up with a box that converts hd streams into sd streams.
7.5KM round trip is too far for a bike ride? How lazy are you? That's less than a half-hour bike ride each way. I mean, I know I'm on Slashdot, but yeesh, how bad of shape are you in?
I thought I remember reading about people putting their user accounts on ipods so that whenever they bump from one computer to the next (I'm thinking Macs here,) all their files are right there with them instead of on some distant server or on the actual computer. Wouldn't this end up breaking this feature? Suddenly, the 80GB ipod is looking less useful.
...that girls tend to have a 'friend' with them that's a little less good looking? I mean, it's not that uncommon if a group of girls are going out that they'll have a friend that's fatter/uglier than the rest of them, thus making them look better, relatively.
I guess the same goes for guys as well. If I'm going out with a bunch of friends and trying to hook up with a girl, I don't want to be in the same group as Brad Pitt, I want to have my friend be less good looking than me, so I'm their target, not him.
I mean, if energy is heat, wouldn't increasing the amount of energy on the earth more than it 'naturally' already receives fuck up the planet even more? I wouldn't want any harvesting of energy from space unless we developed a way to controllably release heat from the planet in an equal amount.
You make it sound like the space programs from the 60's was for pioneering cultures are all different from today. They're not. The space program was a political maneuver in direct response to the Soviet "threat." Its goal wasn't for the sake of science, it was for the sake of pride and a sense of protection from enemy threats. The closest things we have now are North Korea secretly building nukes, Iran doing the same, China destroying all of our satellites, and right-wing religious fundamentalists going from blowing up abortion clinics to blowing up the rest of the United States if/when the GOP loses the next presidential election.
Then rotate your monitor 90 degrees? It sure makes reading documents a hell of a lot more natural. I'm waiting for a resurgence in tablets again. Maybe then my future employer could buy one for me.
What is an acceptable method for the RIAA to enforce their copyrights? Back in the days of Napster the battle cry was sue the users (if you can find them) but don't go after a mere facilitator. Well now they're doing just that, they're not necessarily doing it right, what are the other, better options? Well, this doesn't answer the question, but goes to the root of why everyone's pissed off. Maybe the music industry should actually make music people are willing to spend money on and purchase, rather than the bullshit they've been producing lately?

...I think of Computer World!
Yeah, makes me think of people with parrots, ships, and swords.... What do the three ingredients create?
seriously, what do they create? I don't know....
Don't forget about NPO's like Focus on the Family
Wait until they get a beowulf cluster of these! Oh wait, *poof*
Drat....

Bedpans have been selling in record numbers, despite orders from hospitals and hospices declining over recent years.
*Mom! Bathroom, bathroom!*
Of course he didn't trade arms for hostages. He traded his memories for them. Duh
Too soon?
