the film "live free or die hard" is on it's way. The synopsis alone makes me wanna gag..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337978/ When a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States (and the world), it's up to a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective John McClane (Willis), to take down the conspiracy, aided by a young hacker (Long).
the forms had a spot to identify a 'master' which would work mid-stream on some models.. and masters always got 'perfect' scoring in the scoring spot..
strangely, if you know where that spot on the form is- and pencil it in- you got a 100%, and everyone elses test results were based on your results..
in all situations where fast user switching is possible, (not domain enviroements, not media editions with extenders) you can have one user on an XP machine locally, and one on RDS logged in remotely.. so- two people could connect to xp at a time.
and as you have the only lucid post here for me to ask this of..
when you are building equipment to test moving multiple cubic meteres of solids, and you wanna be so precise that you are mucking up composition and particle sizes-
won't one of the big factors be the weight per given volume- and won't that be drastically different on the lunar surface than anything earthbound?
i.e. to build a 'earthmover' (regolithmover?) able to tunnel straight down a 2X2 meter sharft and remove the remainder straight up-- might be different enough under lunar pull that all the tests are useless to begin with..
how about making cement under reduced gravity- the tensile strength results will be all wrong if the heavier particles don't have as much gravity to pull them to the bottom of the slab.....
what's apples margin on itunes sales? I propose (and my original post was tapped out on a phone) that they may well have been aware of the likely result, and the beancounters decided it wasn't economically viable.
to rent a quadrupling of service is certainly possible, but when you arrange something like this, for a short duration- you pay out the nose.
the original slashdot post suggested apple was unaware of the onslaught to come- My thought was, they likely knew- but couldn't reasonably accomodate.
if you expected a 4 fold ncrease for 72 hours, then demand to drop to more moderate levels- you might decide to take the service hit rather than make a huge capital
investment that would cover your 'brownout'
AND "To help Panasonic maintain sales of both technologies, it sells plasma sets from 37 to 65 inches on the diagonal, while its L.C.D. TVs can only be purchased in sizes from 23 to 32 inches. "
Paraphrased, we make 500-1500$ tvs, and we make 1500-3500$ tv's, and we think you should buy the more expensive, and we should know- we make both!
yer missing my point.. a standard bookshop has space for 50k books, with duplicates, that means you get to browse 10k titles.
IU'm suggesting, the POD store prints one of each of 50k titles, and puts them on the shelf.. you BROWSE THEM, if you find a keeper, you buy that keeper, or request a new copy for yourself if you have the time.-- advantage- now you have the ability to browse 5X the number of titles in the same space.
think about a bookshop that has 10k books, at about 5 copies of each. (standard everyday bookshop)
now imagine one that has 50k books, one copy of each.. you browse, and find the one you want.. buy it an walk out- they'll print another and put it on the shelf.
if you prefer to wait 7 minutes, they'll print a fresh one for you- with your name on it.
(PS I have a lotta scifi with original cover prices of 15-75 cents too.. but I'm also into this idea)
