Yeah, everybody wants it. That is, untill they see a general porpouse device doing something they can't do on their appliance, then they switch (again).
It's unlikely to be due to the reflectivity, if it was the case, a coated cube would be enough. Gold and platinun are known for their stability, so I guess they were choosed because the vacuum inside the ships isn't expected to be perfect (as a second tought, duh, it's inside a ship, so it can't be) and they don't want the cubes to absorb the gases around them.
Ok, they aren't conciliated. But quantum mechanics (QM) says nothing about gravity (that is the problem), while general relativity (GR) is nearly all about gravity. So, in a gravity experiment, people will expect the universe to behave the way GR says it will, not QM.
Now, ok, maybe the universe won't behave like GR says it will. I guess after detecting a wave, people will try to look for its causes. If there are lots of waves without a cause that fits it under GR (unlikely), I guess people will start to contest it. Anyway, QM has nothing to do witht he experiment.
First, methane is nearly 80x more powerfull than CO2, but it decomposes. Amortized on a century, it entrapes nearly 20x more energy. Yes, it doesn't stay at the atmosphere for long, but it is still way better to burn than to release it.
Second, CO2 does not decompose at the Earth atmosphere, so there is no defined half life for it. It just stays there untill something, normaly life, takes it out. That process normaly takes thousands of years (and lots of the carbon that go to the fast carbon sinks will come back to the atmosphere during it).
The average person gets everything the programmers created, and mostly for free. That is quite different from a closed environment, that few programmers adopt and fewer yet will develop to. As Balmer once said, "Developpers, developpers, developpers!" (One can say that MS does know how to run a business.)
An upgrade on design, transparent to the software, and a lower price seems to be all that is needed.
Nintendo may want to make a HD ready console, I don't know, but doing that is a bet that the current recession is over. Europe isn't currently siding with that bet. Neither is Japan.
Well, it's ok if you want to ignore a huge market, with low investiment barriers, and thus low risk, that happens to be saturated, and concentrate in a small market that has a huge barrier to entry, thus huge risky, and is also saturated. It only ceasses to be ok if you ask for a governemnt bailout.
If anything, recent history teached that corporations aren't that smart.
Ok by me. If sites kept Flash only for software that needs interaction, and used the standards for displaying content, most of the problems would go away. Also if W3C standards supported full interaction they would become a bloated mess. That is what plugins are for.
Well, companies that won't let their staff look videos at the web don't really make any difference at the video browsing on the web. Also, the majority of users are going to move to HTML5 compatible browsers, if for no other reason, only because the next upgrade of their browser is.
But I still think there is no clear winner. Flash gives the publisher a (false) feeling that he can control how the movie will play, a kind of (still weaker than normal) DRM.
Yep, Apple is just closing their grip on their users. That happens to have some very positive externalities, it still isn't good for the people buying Apple products, but they choosed their fate.
Is that about the movie tag of HTML5? If so, well, the movie is handled by the browser, that probably uses the functionality of the system media player on Windows, or chooses one of the available ones on Linux. Nearly all media players have hardware acceleration, so it is available.
Are having problem with the compile flags of your mplayer? (Did you compile it?) Or maybe the resolution of the flash video isn't the same of your H.264 one.
A pluggable device (nowadays it would be USB, could be wireless to) that displays your transactions, asks for confirmation and signs them would solve that problem without the 2 minute delay.
Linux users may have much less in common than Windows and Mac users (is that due to selective bias or empowerment?) but all of the Linux users I know have in common that characteristic, that they don't get screensavers from third parties. And why would them, since nearly all the distros include a ton of it?
Social engeneering is harder once you have a trusted source for the most used software.
It is not only file permissions. Windows software has the habit of embebing executable code on everything, text files (even the ones you can't edit), images, movies, everything. Also Windows (and the acompaning software) keeps putting dialog boxes on the face of its users, and expect them to be able to discern when one of those dialogs is important to read, people simply can't do that.
That said, Windows is also easier to own without user intervention. It has more important open bugs all the time and has almost to variation within its installed base.

WinFS would first ship with Windows Cairo, planed to release at 1992, that end up becoming Windows 95. That was a looong half of decade ago.

Why? If you made a million a year for 10 years in a row, why wouldn't you be proud of it? (Assuming you did want to make money, to begin with.)
Ok, GE wouldn't want to buy you. So what?

In fact, the US can legislate past the H.264 debate. You only need to dismiss software patents (all of them). But the proposed situation can't work.

And it is FUN to play with. Who cares if the graphics aren't realistic? (Ok, I know the answer, some people do care, but lots of them don't.)
There is still Gecko. But now, WebKit is only becaming pervasive because it works well, there is nothing stopping competition or forking.

Except for movies, and splash screens, that I want, but only to get ride of. HTML5 comes on good time.
The author of that page SHOULD have used flash. Not doing so makes it clear that he didn't understand the joke about the LHC.
Don't your DHCP servers have any log?
A pluggable device (nowadays it would be USB, could be wireless to) that displays your transactions, asks for confirmation and signs them would solve that problem without the 2 minute delay.
"How does that help if the underlying network infrastructure is totally compromised?"
You use cryptography at the ends. Already solved.

You mean your router got infected after watching a movie?! And there is a post up there saying that Windows is not at fault...
Their CEO may be charming, but the Latin America VP once had a prision order hanging on Brazil. I don't know what turned up from that tough.
