from someone who doesn't understand the difference between share price and market cap. According to ESR if Sun did a 10-1 reverse split it would be a better company than rhat because it's share price would be higher. Stupidly like that make the Open source community look like a bunch of lunatics
gravity isn't going to be different but this rocket might be operating in a low reynolds number environment. And of course I am sure their engine is nothing like a real one. I doubut most of the weight of this model is in rocket fuel.

A very convoluted system for doing email over a page network. The best part is that all these patents are almost obsolete. Wireless IP is the only way to go for email these days IMNHO. I am sure Nokia, Qualcom, and the like have all the good patents on that:)
is a bit more focused that most people here think. I thought that it covered the idea of using store and forward technology and the like which is a bit more complex than just using IP to talk to a server wirelessly. And it should be noted that the inventor is an individual. He just hired a law firm (proobably on contigency) to enforce his patents.
I don't think most of the people are doing it for the money. I am guessing that most groups are going to spend close 10 million to win the prize.
The big problem I see is that I am not sure if doing suborbital flight like this is going to get us any closer to a real prescence in space. It is cool that they are pushing for fast turn around and the like but I am not sure if that is the same as getting cheap access to space. The xprize is forcing one point of view (reuse) while it might be more efficient to leave more mass in orbit. Refurbishing can be really expensive.
Cheap access is probably dependant on some revolutionary breakthrough. Most of the ideas that I have seen are just rehashes of 50-60s NASA ideas. The math didn't work for most of them and while material science has improved enought to make some of them work, they will never be cheap.
If you have 20 conections and each one is doing 20mB/s I don't think parser issues are your problem. Similarly it sounds likely that your problem is with the XML implementation (poor memory allocators) rather than xml per say. Or is it that xml is bloating your file format? I haven't had any problems with xml performance on clients running on 33 mhz 68 processors.
nah it is is only ironic if slashdot usage of the word irony is closer to proper english usage than popular culture. Of course I think proper grammer on slashdot is one of the signs the world is ending...
Sure you skip all of them but the question is which ones do you rewind to watch. I have noticed that hot chicks tend to do the trick for me.:) And movies commericials. Of course movies are one of the few products out there where the commericials actually tell you something usefull about the product rather than trying to convince you that buying a product will make you a cooler person.
No its not about the text. It is about the porn http://java.sun.com/industry/news/story/47181.do
And actually it probably isn't about color or resolution. It is about readibility in every day situations like when your outdoors
This has already been done by both RIM, motorola, and Palm (tungeston w). Ever review complains about the having to use an ear bud and the sales of those products in general has been poor. If you live a data centric world it makes a lot of sense. If you live in a voice centric world you will be unhappy. I have heard that other cultures besides the US are a lot more handsfree accepting.
Dividends are also a very tax inefficient mechanism since 1996( don't quote me on that year) when the tax laws dealing with capital gains were changed. Since you pay have the tax ( 31-39 vs 20 for most people), you don't want your company paying dividends. Up until the law change you lost out of componding ( ie you had to pay taxes every year) but the rate was the same. As an investor, it is a lot better for you for the company to buy back stock (raises the value of the stock) and let you decide when you want to pay taxes. The only really good things about dividends is as one investor says "They are a lot harder to fake than earnings."
Sales of PSOne to Xbox really aren't that relevant. Sales of Xbox to game cube would be. And picking one market where everyone expects microsoft to do bad sure doesn't add much. That being said I wonder how you can justify paying that much for game company. Most of the IP is in the people (there are some game franchises that are worth money but honestly is the Perfect Dark world so great that you couldn't come up with a similiar one? And 50 million dollars of advertising would give it a lot of brand power:)) so either they are all feeling ripped that upper managment got all the cash or their rich and not gonna work as hard. They should have just bought 1.5 million units and given them away.:) Or funded 35 games at 10 million a pop.
This is right up there with the 24fps is enough myth. Human eyes can see well beyond 256 shades per color. You can write a demo app in 3 mins to demonstrate this. Matrox has a demo where they use 10 bits per channel instead of 8 using there new board. If you see it running you will not have any problem seeing the difference. There was some Nasa research about this years ago but they looked at print and not monitors. It also verys among people and the shade ( see green better) of color.
Yeah americans are just like linux users. Instead of using a technology like windows that the rest of the world is using, they have to go off and invent there own OS just to be recalcitrant and obstinant. Even it is technological superior wouldn't everyone be better off if we all used the same system?
More seriously GSM and CDMA are basically washes technology wise. Both have advantages and disadvantages ( but you will notice the 3g(not gprs) version of GSM is very similiar the CDMA technology. ) . The big issue as always is who gets the money. The royalties for GSM and CDMA are about hte same for a 3rd party company but someone like Nokia does much better with GSM since they have half the patents.
The big problem with the US wireless market is multiple carriers. Each carrier spends a ton of money in each big market duplicating each others effort. If they could have worked together (major handwaving) you could have 3x the capacity in the dense areas and in the low coverage area you could have covered 3 times the area for the same net expendure.

I think even the old 270 was. Makes you wonder how much fact checking was done before posting the article.

In case you haven't noticed medical technology has really improved the sport of nude jello wrestling.

mention is when your commericial is cool enought that I watch it but I still can't remember what the heck your advertising.

Or maybe he just got unemployeed;)
Besides we all know the Treo 601 has a power pc 601 chip in it. Where else do you think the name came from?:)
But before saying GPRS is better, it should be pointed out that sprint's implementation of 1X is like 3 times faster than GPRS in real world testing.
Some one has to port a voice over IP to the treo 600:) Phone carries have the must insane price plans this side of the airlines

Wait 6 months or a year. The treo 300 started off at 500 bucks and is done to 199 on amazon. Of course by then the treo 900 will be annouced:)

Umm where does that 7 come from? .25 dollars/per hour * 24 hours/1 day* 30 days/month = 180 dollars/month. Gotta love dimensional analysis:)
