UIMA technology is expected to be made available through open-source software site SourceForge by the end of 2005. The UIMA framework can currently be downloaded free of charge from IBM AlphaWorks at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/uima/.
So, I ask, why wait for it to appear on SF if we can get it now?
when watching dvd's with the PS2, it's like trying to watch a movie with a wind tunnel between you and the speakers. I just hope that the PS3 is much quieter when doing regular multimedia tasks, (id est, playing videos and music).
But, the most important question: Will it support FLAC out-of-the-box?
t depends. If you're an hourly, non-salaried employee and your boss asks you to work off the clock, it's unequivocably illegal. If you're a salaried, professional employee who's considered 'exempt' from overtime, then you are expected to work overtime without extra compensation if requested to do so. However, in the US, I believe you have to be making like 90k as a programmer before you're exempt from overtime.
Or, you could be like me, who was hired as a "less-than 20-hours-a-week," when over the course of the past year, including the school year, my average work week is 23.5 hours. I'm exempted from over-time, even if I have to stay a freak night because of security issues, until 8 or 9 at night, when the bank closes at 6, and I was hired to stay until 6:15. Because I was hired as any benefits, even though my average timecard puts me in the next category that gets sick time, vacation time, overtime, and benefits. If "equal pay for equal work" actually existed, I would be getting paid 8.25% more, and would have a hefty extra amount in my paycheck before I go to school for all of the hours that I've not used for vacation or sick time.
What are they going to do, impose tarrifs on foreign websites? So many sites are already hosted internationally, I wouldn't see this as having much of an effect at all. The only effect I could foresee is a dip in the webserver market within the US.
For the last time, it's not Beagle, it's Bagel! Have you actually opened up the virus and examined it? I have! It creates regestry entries under the name Bagel, not Beagle! Open it up with vim sometime, and search for Beagle. Then search for Bagel. Once you realize that vim went into hex mode, you'll be able to find Bagel, but not Beagle.
It's just hard to generate that much data for a game. You can only develop so much content on a reasonable budget.
I'm sure, back in the '80's, people were saying similar things when you could say "We have Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt both in one cartridge! How could we possibly need more space if we can fit two games in one?"
Microsoft announced today that the XBox 360 will feature graphics that will rival Sony and Nintendo, but have postponed including the CPU and GPU that would allow this, as it would severely postpone the launch date. Instead of postponing the launch date, Microsoft will incorporate the said processors once they are ready.
What do they mean by once they are ready, Microsoft, or the CPU and GPU?
Sun seems to be doing fine with Star Office, while Open Office appears to be doing fine as well. Both are essentially the same app, while Sun added better dictionaries, etc, as well as possible support from other means than mailing lists and forums.
You get 1 million people to put in a $100 lottery ticket, bamb! Yes, $100 price tag is pretty big for one ticket, but remember, this lottory would be world-wide, so the market's also pretty big.
Microsoft may have stepped on the toes of another software company just down the road in Redmond.
Oh Microsoft.... Unfortunately, MS is left to differentiating its products names by letters and numbers, rather than words. Redhat has the wardrobe section of the dictionary, Gentoo the Penguin section, and Apple has the Feline section. All others are currently filled with other companies, and the Dictionary Motel's light is flashing "No Vacancy"
...Internet stock prices fell by 20% Monday morning. ...Or would, if the average person read The Economist. I've only met one or two people that actually read the magazine, and one of those people was the person that introduced me to it. We're still stuck in the mentality of "It'll happen to you, not ME!" that people will continue to purchase until Vista launches. It'll be interesting to see how many people "upgrade" to Vista. Apparently, it'll only run on high-end machines. If people have to purchase a new computer, I think they'll seriously consider buying an Apple, assuming using Intel chips will really lower prices.
Current FM in the US is 88-108 MHz... a mere 10 MHz...
Hrmm... *Pulls out calculator*
Hrrmmm.... *Pulls out slide-ruler*
Sorry mate, but 108-88 is still coming up as 20, not 10....
...didn't they say that OTA broadcasts were to be all HDTV by June 2k5? And notice the time gap this time, 4 more years.... Is it just me, or does the phrase "four more years" only bring agony to mind?
If you RTFA, you would've seen: "Also, we want to be able to have a Gigabit port for an IP camera," he revealed. "So one of the ports is an in, and two of them are through. It can be a server as well as a terminal."
In addition: I'm sure that many people would rather have one ethernet jack coming in from the wall. As more people are getting DVRS, they'd want to be able to have the DVR be able to connect while they still have their PS3 connected. People could also plug their phone into the PS3 if it were to act as a router, assuming they use some form of online phone service.
I can think of many reasons why someone would want to have three ethernet ports (one in, two through), but like already stated in other posts, I think Sony would be better off leaving the consumers to purchase dedicated routers and hubs, than have the PS3 take this on. I'd rather not want to have my PS3 up and running 24/7 so that I can use the phone, and I'd also prefer to not let script kiddies somehow lock all internet connections for everything that goes through the PS3, including the PS3, because some new virus goes through the net and either:
A) Disables internet connectivity and LAN connectivity by changing the router settings
or
B) Throws a tracker that monitors everything that goes through the PS3.
I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung Wanna pull up tough Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring Oh, baby I wanna get with ya And take your picture My homeboys tried to warn me But that butt you got Make Me so horney Ooh, rump of smooth skin You say you wanna get in my benz Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy
When MS is still posting record profits after paying these lawsuits, it looks like step 4 will last a while. It'll be interesting once they force all of the businesses clinging to Win2k to XP, and then to Longhorn. I wonder how many will switch to Apple when they find out their computers don't meet the minimum requirements, or decide that even by following MS's "Get the Facts" campaign, that they save more money by switching to Linux, even after re-training, than by upgrading all of their systems.
I'm on my 4th Radeon 8500. The first one lasted two years, then the fan must have wound itself too much with all the dust surrounding it.
The second card's fan was tilted and very loud.
The third card had horizontal lines going across the screen under Linux, and Windows XP gave me the BSOD when I tried to play a DVD with it.
I've had the fourth card for maybe almost a year now, and it's still chugging along, playing The Sims 2. All in all, I had to spend money for shipping on the first two cards to get them replaced, ATI covered the 3rd.
The next card I'm getting however, will probably be an nVidia 6600GT of some sort, or whatever card is in that price range whenever I have to upgrade.
And the hyprocrisy continues. It's all right to liberate copyrighted works by _corporations_ but we must defend things protected by the GPL.
But to us, there is a difference. For finding a hack for the encryption, we are able to use what we PURCHASE. Merely cracking the encryption isn't immoral. What's questionably immoral is copying thus mentioned disks when not owned by self, or selling disks copied from said disk for profit (aka Piracy). If I purchase a DVD-A, why should I not be able to:
A) Create a backup, so I don't have to use the original copy in the car, or so I can lose it (should the said car become stolen)
B) Be able to play it on any system that I want and that is physically capable. Why should *NIX/*BSD users have to purchase a copy of OSX or XP in order to listen to music?
C) Convert disk to another format, such as ogg or flac, so that we can bring the music with us on our portable music players (iRiver is my choice, been spotting them before BestBuy began trying to make them popular....)
Is there a system like this for music?
It's called the library, and we've been doing it for years....
Best of all, the CD's are free. The only thing is that I havn't seen any DVD-A's there, but then again, I don't have any devices that can handle those disks, so I'm fine there.
His original sentence did not hav a helping verb, so "begs" would be the appropriate choice. "[It] begs the question" makes sense, while "[It] begging the question does not. Your mistake was turning a noun into a pronoun, then adding "is" to it, which can mess up any sentence that was properly written.

It's available now. As the article says:

Which is precisely the reason why we need to inflate them!

A video of the launch showed the Vista brand name alongside the slogan "Clear, Confident, Connected; Bringing clarity to your world".

Um, then what about this?
I guess this means that, since I wear contacts or glasses every day, that I'll just have to have lasic surgery that much earlier...

The 1/3rd that are useful
The 1/3rd that are nonsense
or the 1/3rd that are somewhere in between?
