Considering the amount of processing and chemicals they run through the bean to get the caffeine out, it is hardly a healthier substitute.
Having a food in moderation is not going to have a detrimental effect. Having a cup of coffee in the morning isnt going to give you a heart attack. Having 20 cups is not going to benefit you when your heart is pumping at twice the rate.
The key to personal health is moderation. In all forms. That includes exercise as well as eating.
I agree that the builder was at fault, but i am a structural engineer, and as an engineer, i would have gone to inspect the work being undertaken to ensure that everything was being done correctly. Or at least contact the appropriate project manager regarding the job. It appears to me that no one was really responsible in that situation. They left the builders to their own devices, and that should not have happened.
Everyone is at fault in that scenario. From the architect to the bricklayer and everyone in between.
Architects are far from artists. I work in the building industry and the amount of stupidity i see in architects designs are beyond comprehension. But because its been designed by them, we have to find a way to build around it. the problem is architects don't work with engineers, however they call on them to "make things work".
Sounds similar to microshaft in many ways actually.
Did he mention that these Great Hackers have quote possibly some of the greatest creative minds in the world.
Sure you have to know what your doing, but the ability to think outside yourself, see the bigger picture, is what makes these guys great. When you come across a problem that may seem impossible to get a work around for, these guys think and think, and they get their solution because they are able to see a myriad of different perspecvtives as a possible solution to a really tough problem. these guys are paid the big bucks because they do have that extra quality as well as being good hackers. i think thats what separates the good, from the great.
With all this genetically modified food being pushed forward for the betterment of mankind, has anyone ever questioned what would happen to the immune system if we are so hellbent on preventing disease from food sources. Everyone is so cleanliness obsessed that they disinfect everything, but as a child, your immune system has to be built up to defend itself against diseases, with these GM foods being created to basically prevent disease, does that not weaken our immune system, and wouldnt this make us more susceptible to diseases such as the common cold? Fair enough these chemicals are good at for us, and are needed in prevention of certain diseases, but to actually battle the disease and win, our immune system must be up to the task.
What so called experts will they hire? Tech experts who have been in the industry for several years or more politicians who could siphon off a bit more money to advance their political status?
WHy does it seem that whenever it comes to patents, everyone is either passing the buck, or chasing their own tail.
I bought my folks a PC. They used it for approximately 4 weeks. Then they said, "you keep it, its too complicated".
So i got the PC, i bought them a nice filing cabinet, pens, paper and calculator etc. If they want something typed out, they can ask me, but this isnt often.
i say dont protect their PC's, protect them from PC's:)
i agree, but that doesnt mean that Macromedia take the PPC architecture not as seriously as X86. Considering the sort of makret chare apple have in graphic arts/high end graphics workstations, they would be silly not to
with the redesigns. All that needless clutter. Reminds me too much of yahoo. Its why i stopped using yahoo. Googles brilliance is in the simplicity of its interface. Everyone knows that when you go to google you get a search interface. You go there to search for things, not be bombarded with needless advertising that has no relevance to what you initially went there for. I think why it has become such a phenomenon, because it is effective, fast, and is straight to the point. Usually the simplest solutions are the most effective ones...
"We position Windows server as a multifunction server that does a variety of things. So in some ways, we've got a McDonald's No. 5 super-size offering that costs $2.99 and someone just wants a Diet Coke that costs 99 cents"
Has martin lost his mind. Sure i would liken Microsoft to McDonald, in that they dupe their customers in feeling that food (Windows) is healthy (secure), but do they honestly think they offer more to a server platform than Linux does. No, it ends up costing you more, support, additional software etc. I can get my BSD boxes to do all that a doze box can and it costs me hardly anything bar hardware changes. There are three admins that maintain it as it is up 24/7 and all are experienced professionals, we dont need no team of MS monkeys to tell us, "well we will help you, but your gonna be charged". The only thing we require is to be paid and to not have to deal with the dramas that come from the myriad of problems ive faced with Windows machines
he might start making absinthe to prepare himself for some more Indian Jones prequels. Might as well wreck some more films. Indian Jones and The Lost Chalice of Stupidity!
This looks like it could have actually gone pretty far had it had a chance. As a cheap alternative to an apple it looks like it had some good functionality. Does anyone know what the reliability of this OS was like. It says that it provided some decent support for 286/386. Its a shame that this wasnt given the support that it deserved. WHo knows what it could have been capable of. I suppose most people rejhected it as the C64 was mainly for gaming, at least when i was a kid it was. If i had known it was around, and i had more interest in OS', this probably would have ended up in my living room. Its been a while, but its still good to see what some of the pioneers were capable of.
however when will this be made available and what code will be made available. I mean if we are looking at code thats 15 years old, alot of that code would have already been created by the public and thus already in use. Or will this make any code that is even currently being used available to the public? I'd imagine that alot of software NASA use would be secured under top level agreements so obviously not everything will be made available...
If this patent was initially applied for in 2000 and has now just been accepted, will MS go back to companies/people and ask for money. They surely cant backdate this patent from when they applied for it can they?
This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits
so now maybe we will finally have an independant auditor review the code and we can finally see just how buggy this code actually is. Needless to say if this story is true it is not good news for lots of companies who put faith in Bill and his minions
This looks like a real possibility, and with more Mars rovers being sent over and us gaining further knowledge of the planet then this looks like a very real possibility. They would just have to factor in the nature of the wind direction, velocity, currents etc. But this sort of project, i'd assume, would go a lot further and be able to map more of Mars' terrain than a rover and give us a better view of the geological structure of Mars.
SO they have added some BeOS functionality to this thing. I owned a Palm. I thought it was brilliant, but as i saw the prices of PDA's drop and the Palm price stay the same for less features, it didnt seem like such a good buy anymore. I wonder what they will charge for this. I think the resolution is a bit of overkill. I'm not gonna hook this thing up to a television to play Galaga on an emulator. My Zaurus does all the things this thing can and probably a hell of a lot more. The tungsten's werent too impressive, this one doesnt seem to be either. And why dont they gave us the names of the "industry leaders".
the russians had/have some brilliant scientists. I have never heard of this project before but i am not surprised at all to read that they accomplished this.
There is alot to be said for Russian ingenuity and intelligence.
