He has said for years that he plans to give most of his fortune to chairity before he dies. Check out the Time Magazine issue for the Man of the Year article. It is actually Bill, Melinda, and Bono that share the title. He makes smart donations, and actually holds the groups accountable. If they piddle away the funds and do nothing the money gets pulled. Apparently that is very very rare in halth care projects. He is gettings results and people across the world are thankfull.
It was a quick and dirty hack. He even said he doesn't like VB, but for a simple GUI it is easy.

Linux is much more aggressive in RAM usage in my experience. Windows often leaves tons of unused memory free, while Linux tries to use most of it for caching of various things. I haven't seen either system use excessive paging under normal circumstances (assuming you have an appropriate amount of RAM for you usage).
I probably should have explained why, but thanks to Adam9 for doing it. Things like moles and freckles can grow differently on identical twins also. And of course diet and excercise play a huge role on how they end up looing figure-wise.
Possibly, if they support SLI. So maybe a generation or 2 from now you can use this setup. Of course by then you could do quad-SLI with whatever the new and fastest is.
Ideally you could buffer the videos quite a bit. My commute is about 5 minutes above ground and 17 minutes underground on the El. No cell reception below the surface (not a bad thing in my mind).
The author was probably aware of these issues, but he didn't include them because don't factor into the consumer decision. What he gives is a detailed analysis of how much you would have to drive, the price of gas, and the price of buying a new car, for the average consumer. The cost of batteries, etc. are absorbed into the cost of the car.
It would be interesting to see a more detailed analysis of the manufacturing costs associated with hybrids vs. ICE cars, but it would be a mostly orthoganal study to this one.
On current computational models adding a bit doubles the time it takes to crack. So if a 64bit key takes a week, a 65 takes 2, a 66 takes 4, 67 takes 8 weeks, 68 takes 16 weeks, etc. (Made up numbers, for the sake of example). On a quantum computer it simply adds a constant amount of time for each bit. So if a 64bit key takes 1 week, a 65 bit key takes 2 weeks, 66 bit takes 3 weeks, 67 takes 4, 68 takese 5, etc.
It effectivily brings a NP complexity problem down to a linear complexity problem. All of the rules change at this point.
Probably not, but I have a feeling these newspapers are going to choose strips that are more in tune with western culture. A lot of market research went into this (presumably), they didn't just choose at random (I hope).
Logistics may play a large role as well. It is fairly easy to donate to a local children's hospital, but it could be very difficult to set something up with one in Africa. For one thing, Amazon ships the donations directly to the places.
The two courses I'm involved in do not have on-campus counterparts, but more than half of the students enrolled are in on-campus programs and it works just the same as any other course for them.
I'm in the PhD program at UI - Chicago (not online), and I am a TA for a couple online courses. There is no mention that the courses (for a professional Masters in Engineering) are online at the end of the degree.
Because WoW and the rootkit have been in the news lately. It is easier to pick up on a continuing story than it is to take time digging for new details.
You could also think of it in terms of math. Your CPU is a person who knows quite a bit about everything. Your GPU is an expert at linear algebra (which is mostly what it does in reality). The CPU can multiply vectors, but it takes a while. The GPU does it really fast. The CPU could also do some number theory proof, the GPU would just sit there and stare dumbounded.
So if you found another problem that a linear algebra expert would exceed at, the GPU would work really well. Or, if you can convert your problem into one that the GPU can work with, it may be worthwhile if the overhead is reasonable. But no matter what, the CPU will be able to handle a more varied range of tasks.

Maybe it was a generic "Person of the Year."

Even Identical twins have different finger prints. They aren't exactly identical, despite sharing the same DNA.

Every Blockbuster I have been to has carried the Unrated versions of movies. (In Michigan and Illinois).
Unless you live in New Jersey or Chicago, then you don't even need a heartbeat.
Half drunk? Bah.
If using Java, make sure they use Javadoc compatible comments for every class and method.

If I hadn't just run out of mod points I would have modded this comment up just for the humor.

National City (mostly Michigan and Illinois I think) works under every browser I've tried.
It makes sense when it is a mechanical engineer talking about designing the chasis and heat requirements.
