Not quite.. They may be shipping the same WebKit foundation (I can't actually tell), but the WebKit nightlies aren't running the Safari 3.0 shell around it yet. It's still reporting (and acting like) Safari 2.0.4 with r22084.
If you're going to retool the gas stations to provide ethanol, you might as well retool them to provide hydrogen instead. Except for that minor detail that ethanol is liquid at room temperatures, and otherwise behaves alot like gasoline for the purposes of storing and dispensing it. The cost to refit an existing gas station to carry ethanol is likely orders of magnitude lower than a refit to supply cryogenic hydrogen.
In addtion, you could concievably blend 87 octane and Ethanol on-site to provide E85 to existing flex-fuel vehicles that can use it today. There's no installed base of hydrogen vehicles like that to transition on.
Because that would threaten the business model TurboTax and H&R Block have. Buying enough senators and representatives to lock that market isn't cheap you know.
If you'd actually read the article you linked to.. The F- designation on the F-117 is a curious bit of aviation history and Air Force infighting, but the F-117 is a ground attack aircraft, not a fighter, and should really have an A- or B- designation, while the F-22 is an air to air combat plane with limited ground attack capabilities. The 117's internal payload capacity is huge compared to the F-22's ground attack loads (some of which have to be carried outside, destroying the stealth capability) and it's therefore unlikely the F-22 is going to completely replace the F-117 completely anytime soon.
IBM sells their pSeries and iSeries hardware with capacity on demand. You do own the hardware, but the license agreement on the firmware prevents you from enabling features you didn't buy. They used to just rent, but the terms are different these days.
Which is one of the advantages to a subscription service or maintenance contract. Instead of booking $100,000 in January for the product, you book $80,000 and record the remaining $20,000 over the next 12 months.
Of course, nobody wants to do that for something like Windows or Office where you'd pay a yearly license without any real upgrades for years at a time, but it makes sense in a large corporate environment for some applications.
Because the game support enabled a new revenue stream selling games through iTunes. They could write the development cost against that future revenue, not the purchase price of the iPod they already booked.
Notice they didn't give 5G ipods the search function in the 5.5Gs in the same firmware update.
I said "historically". I've seen a half dozen Java XML parser toolkits recently, and not one mentioned setting that up anywhere in their docs. The hooks are there, but nobody knows to use it.
Myth Two: The iPhone is priced too high. It needs a 2 GB version for $299 lacking phone features. How is the iPhone not expensive when compared to other phones? The $499 and $599 prices are with the two-year contract! That's significantly more expensive than every other PDA/Smartphone offered by Cingular, some of which are very comparable to the iPhone. $599 isn't significantly more expensive than any other high demand phone at launch day. Cingular sold the RAZR at $500 with a 2 year contract in 2004, and the only thing it had going for it was a well styled enclosure. Mine needs a reboot once a week due to bugs, it's GPRS data only (which makes EDGE scream by comparison) and the web browser is unuseable.
I've got problems with the iPhone seemingly being crippled in more than one area at Cingular's request, but the price isn't really out of line for any new phone launch.
OTOH, your typical business environment at this point is highly technical, and it's not completely out of line to expect competent users have some grounding in the terminology.
Explain how to drive a car without using the words "breaks", "steering wheel" and "accelerator" (or "gas pedal").
Explain college level chemistry to someone who didn't pick up the definitions of "electron", "atom", "stoichiometry", or "element" in high school.
Now why shouldn't a user whose job depends on computers 8 hours a day get a pass because they never grasped the concept of "window", "desktop", "icon", or "mouse"?
Yes, at some point they need all those terms defined for them from base principles. But I shouln't have to re-explain terms every time they need to find the search dialog any more than I should re-teach someone what a steering wheel is every time they go for a drive.
The DTD is spelled out in the incomming feed file though. Even if I had a local copy in my application, the RSS feed I just grabbed from Joe's Random Blog probably references the netscape copy, and there historically hasn't been a good mechanism to redirect that to a local DTD store.
The URLs there were initially intended to be used as unique namespaces since each domain had someone that could guarantee uniqueness inside that domain, not really as actual retrievable URLs, although they were usually valid and contained the official reference copy of that DTD.
Then people started using validating parsers that used the URL, and then people started using validating parsers in situations they didn't need them without realizing the mess they just created the first time someone tries to run an app without an internet connection.
Once that happened, anyone who published a DTD as a standard was taking on the responsibility of maintaining that url for decades to come, which is obviously an impossible situation in a large company.
But if the encryption key is printed in some machine read format, why not just print the data that way in the first place and skip the RFID step?
New York's DMV uses 2d barcodes on everything. The driver's license, auto registration, and insurance cards all have one with the relevant data on them, and all the cops carry readers. Just put one of those on the inside back cover with the data you would have kept in the RFID chip.
I certainly wouldn't use it to control anything like a nuclear reactor That's probably a good idea since the Java license says:
You acknowledge that Licensed Software is not designed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility. I wonder if they'll leave that clause in there when it goes GPL.
Thus "$.10' can be read as 'ten cents', or 'point one oh cents' by the CSR. Sure, it can. But one of them is completely, absolutely, incredibly wrong. Which would be almost ok if it was gibberish, but it's not. It's exactly 100x less than what the real value is.
If I asked you to read in context "$0.002/kb" to me and you said "13 gigawatts," I'd realize you can't read and move on. If you tell me "point oh oh two cents", how do I know that's not what's on the paper? You gave me a perfectly valid yet completely incorrect answer.
Sheathing isn't supposed to be the main factor in structural stability, it's there for insulation.
One of the primary purposes of sheathing is to brace the wall against sheer forces. A square plate and stud wall has no strength against sheer forces unless it's braced diagonally corner to corner. Plywood sheathing properly attached acts as that diagonal brace. Otherwise the top and bottom plates are free to slide parallel to each other and turn the wall into a parallelogram.
The problem with whitelist/greylist/blacklist or any other server side mechanism is that it still takes bandwidth, disk and CPU resources to accept and filter the spam before it hits my mailbox.
When you've got 500 or 30,000 mailboxes to admin, and they're all getting 100k images every two minutes as we have in the last few weeks, server side filtering becomes prohibitively complex. It's a stopgap measure, but it's leading to a defensive arms race.
I'm starting to think there's a solution in an IP blacklist that's implemented at the ISP and backbone level. My mailer starts recording where it gets spam from, and after so many hits, pushes that netblock up to my parent ISP to block *EVERYTHING* from that subnet at their router to my connection for 48 hours. If my ISP gets sufficient complaints about that netblock from enough of their customers, they push a netblock ban to the router on the other end of their peer uplink. And so on.
It's a tac-nuke and will very likely affect some innocent bystanders until it settles out, but everyone else getting together to block any ISP that's not taking sufficient measures to counteract abuse of their network may get everyone in line.
The 4004 has less than 2300 transistors, the lowest end Spartan FPGA (since I don't see the exact part # on there) is 40,000 gates (which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 160,000 transistors).
You could do TTT in the FPGA on that board with room to spare. You could probably re-implement the 4004 ISA itself and his glue logic inside that FPGA.
One day, Cmdr Taco is designing his database, and he sits down at a table with three integers on it. First, he tries the baby bear's integer, but exclaims "2 meager bytes is way too small for my appetite."
Next, he tries Papa bear's integer, but proclaims "4 bytes is way too big for my little site, I'd just end up wasting so much."
Finally, he tries Mama bear's integer, and extols "3 bytes is just right," not noticing it was really the same as Papa Bear's bowl in disquise.

$300? It was $500 for about 6 months after launch. And Motorola sold them as quick as they could stamp them out.

Cisco's already put out a press release saying they negotiated with Apple for naming rights.

That's about the time you guys usually show up out of the woodwork ;)
The woodwork isn't the problem. It's the cement vault they put the casket inside that's a bitch to get out of.Maybe he means it used pipe they appropriated from the latest campus construction project.
