Raleigh is betwen 250 and 300 feet above sea level, and the total sea level rise if all the ice melted is about 270 feet, so I hope you are on a hill.
The ice caps start really coming apart at 4 degrees C warmer than now, which is within projections for the 21st century.
That is really true - you can tell a lot about a country by looking at movies. All small towns in the South are run by corrupt police, and they all have KKK meetings every weekend. Plus Sweden is stewardess orgy central, and Canada is full of flappy headed fart jokers, plus a few seal clubbing, back bacon eating French Canadians.
Actually, they did both. They bought a company, lets its trademarks lapse, then re-labeled an existing product "iPhone" (on the outside of the shrink wrap box, no less) to try and scam money out of Apple.
We can probably figure it out once the next Apple quarterly report comes out - they will have a line item for lawsuit payouts, and we can just subtract the $100 million that they paid Creative.
Just think of all the hassle it would solve, and all the
profit Sony is losing. All they need is one giant dutch
auction - if the price bids up to $1600, then all that money
goes to Sony.
#1 Server segment - Linux, but this does not really matter that much, as servers run very few apps. There is not a great advantage to having a large market share, a new OS could come around tomorrow and dominate within 5 years if it was good enough.
#2 Corporate/government - the only thing that could hurt windows in corporate life is continued security issues, but all non-US governments will go open source eventually due to the US owning windows.
#3 home non-gamer. Gradually switching to laptops entirely, and the Mac is dominating here - 12% market share in the US and growing much faster than any competitor.
#4 gamer market. This will go away, replaced by consoles.
The ice ages have been happening on regular repeating intervals (every 41k years from 3 million BC to 1 million BC, and every 100K years after that). Unless we have been getting uplifted mountains due to some regular repeating pattern, then I don't buy it.
"Because we are currently living in an ice age -- or, more precisely, in a slightly warmer interglacial period within an ice age -- CO2 levels worldwide would ordinarily be low; but scientists believe that humans have raised CO2 levels by burning fossil fuels."
My back used to go out periodically, leaving me on the couch and unable to move. After reading Sarno's "Healing Back Pain" while in this condition, my back pain went away (in about 5 minutes) and has not returned for 6 years since.
Seems pretty cool, except I don't like the plastic cups. Also, lining up for the touch screen (instead of bellying up to the bar) would work in Japan but not in the USA.
No liquid core = no magnetic field, so you will have to live underground forever. I think it would be better to move a moon into place around Venus, strip off the excess atmosphere, get it rotating the right way @ 24 hour period, and start terraforming from there.
You could use Mercury as the moon, and have huge ion engines powered by solar panels (cover the surface of Mercury with self replicating solar panel robots). You drive Mercury around Venus a few times to get the change in rotation, and the moon would give Venus stable seasons.
Normal barrels are fine for nuclear waste disposal in the deep ocean,
they rust and leak over time - but the ocean is so vast that it makes
no difference. The oceans already have radioactive materials in them,
all our nuclear waste would not make a measurable difference.
I coded the same CPU-intensive program in both Fortran and C on
a DEC microvax back in 1988 - the Fortran program was about twice
as fast.
I tried every trick that I could think of to get the C code to
improve - in the end it was still a little slower than the Fortran
code (2%-10% slower), and the speed optimization had reduced the code
to an unsupportable mess.
Is there a way to cut the levels of this enzyme? I need to get my wife to stop filling my house with crap from wal-mart and sams club. It isn't gadgets, but I imagine that the need for new stuff would be filled via other means for people that don't like electronics.
People have been saying that since Jaguar. You're not going to see Apple's share suddenly jump up in the desktop market because it still carries the stigma of not being compatible with anything and being ridiculous to troubleshoot when something breaks.
You are joking right? First of all, things break all the time on Windows, and seldom break on macs. Secondly, windows must have seriously twisted itself into your brain if you think it is easy to troubleshoot compared to the mac - kind of like how abused women continue to prefer abusive men.

The only thing, though, is that his observation about load times
does not seem to match what the people on AVS are saying (some
guys in Poland and Greece already have their players, and they
are getting 10 second load times).
I don't mean to sound snotty, but it does not sound like you have worked on a large project. Of if you have, it is only on the highest of the application layers.
Every large project is modular with reusable library components. Try changing one of those re-used components sometime, and you will see what I mean.
At the application layer you are free to code to your heart's content - nobody depends on you yet so life is easy. It is not so easy if you are changing an interface down lower, and you have to grovel for the approval of the 300 applications that use you.

I don't buy it, since it has melted in the past at 4 degrees warmer than now.

Turkey has 10,220,000 Internet users as of Dec/05, 13.9% of the population, according to the Computer Industry Almanac.

Istanbul is roughly the same size as New York City (10m people), but you are probably American so you would not know that. 8)

Good points, but I will refine a bit further:
#1 Server segment - Linux, but this does not really matter that much, as servers run very few apps. There is not a great advantage to having a large market share, a new OS could come around tomorrow and dominate within 5 years if it was good enough.
#2 Corporate/government - the only thing that could hurt windows in corporate life is continued security issues, but all non-US governments will go open source eventually due to the US owning windows.

So it worked for me, and it was pretty dramatic.
Read the tom's hardware review, the 160gb drive has almost identical performance as the old 100gb 7200 drive. The 200gb drive is slower, though.
