Being worth billions is definitely *not* my goal in life. Being able to pick up work easily and without stress is. Having a degree certainly helps the latter goal, but not necesscarily the former.
Yes it is, you have to wait for updates to be downloaded when you connect xbox live. I guess your not doing the work per se, but neither is the guy hitting "update" on his video drivers.
Did you do a study to determine that it hardly compares to what most people experience? His sample size may be statistically insignificant, but I haven't heard of many people having a great time with Vista either. I'd love to see this studied properly, but something tells me the open source side is going to have more trouble funding that.
They pull it from the windows version of flash they already wrote. The OS library calls will be different but they should be able to share large chunks of assembly programming they have for x86 on windows with MacOS on x86, assuming they did any assembly in the first place.....
If your a startup, and you wrote version 1 of your software without thinking about cross platform cross-compiling or porting, and you wrote it for MacOS, your obviously only after the Mac segment of the market.
Maybe it's just semantics, but if you shrink an image down, your not getting the whole thing. If there was a small object in the original image, it may not be there in the shrunken image. You are perhaps really missing whole parts of the image. With nudes, you might miss out on a whole nipple.
You mean yet to see in the sense of "see it in person" or "see it on the net"? There are plenty of examples out there, of home theatres, that cinemas model their sound systems off. It depends on your definition of home cinema, but there are a few crazy rich dudes who put a cinema wing on their house, i.e. a replica of a good cinema, so obviously it sounds as good as a good movie house. Then there are the "My structural engineering was built to allow for the foundation of the house to be a perfect folded horn speaker enclosure, my walls are slightly non-orthogonal to avoid reflections, and some rooms of my house are shaped with an exponentially expanding wall structure to carry the sound without flaw. I heat my neighbourhood from the waste heat of my bank of amplifiers" types.
I haven't seen these in person, but they are well documented out there on the net. Besides it's easy to beat a *bad* movie house, and sometimes that's what is nearby.
Well, both are based on the concept of "Millions of Instructions Per Second", but Bogomips at least recognises that disparities in the actual amount of information processing done in an instruction makes MIPS an arbitrary measure anyway.
I'm not sure how you could use it as a real "apples to apples" comparison in any case...
Ever heard of a live axle? They only phased those out a little while ago (they are still used in some cars), and in this case the diff is definitely unsprung weight. IRS is a relatively recent invention.
Apparently AC propulsion systems AC-150 unit includes a 50kg 50kw continuous output motor, capable of 150kw peak output. http://www.acpropulsion.com/products/ac_150.htm.
I believe you are looking at the wrong kind of motor. The whole package including 20kw bidirectional charger and motor controller is less than 100kg.
Maybe it's the other way around, or more for the novelty factor. I visited a friend yesterday, and his theme made it look like he had switched to Vista, but he's actually been running that theme for two years, and it's just an unforunate coincidence that vista looks like that.
Have you played Nexuiz? Sure it doesn't haven't have a story line (nor does a fps arena style game need one), but it has fun gameplay, great graphics, and good music and voice overs.
Just because the spam *says* it comes from yahoo, doesn't mean it does. You know, the whole forged From field thing and all that. (forging is too strong a word, since all it requires is for you to state that is where it's from and many email servers take it at face value). Hell, I can telnet to my nearest SMTP server and send you an email from "billgates@yahoo.com" right now.
You can get thin clients that run RDP, VNC, or X-windows. USually they draw less than 4 watts as well (not including monitor of course). So yes this ability can be kinda handy if you are working in remote areas where total power draw is a problem, and the lower maintenance of the thin clients is preferable.
There are multiple solutions to this problem, all of which require infrastructure that won't exist until electric cars are more popular.
1) Battery swapping stations. Batteries are built in a standard modular fashion, you park at a swapping point, and the battery in your car is removed, and replaced by one that has been charged at the swapping station. Like "swap and go" gas bottles for BBQs (if you have those in your locality)
2) Batteries based on Zinc Air or similar technology, where the energised component is drawn through the battery from an input tank, and pumped through a "battery" (which starts to seem more like a fuel cell), and spent zinc is put into an output tank. When you get to a fuel station, you pump out your waste zinc paste (it gets recharged), and you pump in new stuff.
3) Systems of electrolite replacment. Basically your battery has a drain valve, you drain out your acid (from a lead acid battery), and pump in new stuff. Similar to 2, but your pumping around acid, which is potentially dangerous.
4) In road charging systems. Especially in combination with self drive highways, your car hooks into a power rail like an electric train would, and gets it's motive power (and a recharge to boot!) while driving.
5) The trailer method. On a long trip you hire a range extender trailer. It could be a fuel cell, or biodiesel generator, or even just a battery bank that you swap when it runs out, by stopping in at the next "Service station".
Of course, the thing is you are currently much better off driving an electric car for your daily commute, and *hiring* a car for longer trips. You save money on a daily basis, and you can use the savings to pay for the car hire when you need it. Your reduction in fuel usage should help reduce the price of petrol, so when you do hire a petrol car, it's cheaper to fuel!
In any case, I firmly believe all the problems are either solvable now, or your better off working around them anyway, they just won't sell any electric cars in Australia, so I'm left considering building my own.
Umm, that is part of the point of CDs.... They have error correction built in, so that you should (up to a certain point of physical degradation) get a bit for bit copy. IN fact this is required for things like computer programs to be stored on them. If you corrupt one bit in an executable, it *will* crash when it hits that code, but yet cds seem to be able to store executables ok...
Slashdot Mirror
I thought you were making a crack about the value of the $ versus the pound, and read that as "costs 94p which is about $7.05"... hahaha

Strictly speaking, he probably doesn't car that 1+1=2.
whats wrong with coffee or tea? (AFAIK these are both sources of caffiene)

As I understand it, an RIAA subsidiary is holding in escrow funds for artists played on the radio who *aren't* members.... It's not all voluntary.

Yeah, your seeing britney naked, but the left nipple isn't visible in the thumbnail, so you really don't have the whole picture do you?

But MS is claiming the kernel itself infringes on ~40 patents, as well as the GNUniverse, and other software that runs on linux.

Or it *always* shifts, depending on how you look at CVT.
If your calling that "Intellectual Property" then you really are compensating for something.

I need to move house on occasion, but my daily driver is not a 5 tonne moving truck.

Perhaps you are right, but most of the linux users I know don't run non-linux binaries. (I certainly don't)
