You don't gotta insult the accent to make a point about the software. There are two things I don't like, people who are intolerant of other cultures, and stuck-up Brits.
AJAX was revolutionary when Google maps did it. When everyone else started using it to do trivial things that were possible for a decade, that's when it started to resemble the older technology.
Way to take the statement out of context. He prefaced this with "a request for IPv4 address space that is justified and meets the policy" which means that it is the first time they will have to deny a justified request that meets the policy. Which implies that they do reject requests that are unjustified or do not meet the policy.
Which is why it's funny that he has this statement at the bottom of his Our Games" Page.
What's Coming? Now that the Avernum series is concluded, we are developing a whole new game in a whole new world with a completely new game system. We hope to have lots of information and screenshots available for you this summer
The "kibi business" didn't introduce confusion, the hard drive manufacturers did.
The make it particular confusing by the fact that they define a gigabyte as one thousand megabytes, but the megabytes are still 1024*1024 bytes. The kibi (and mebi, and gibi) are an attempt to re-introduce the precision that was lost by marketing, and to stop bastardizing SI units.
Mouses get bumped or moved, etc. Mouse pointer indicates what object you want to interact with, mouse click indicates that you want to interact with the object. Why is this so hard for you old folks to understand? It's not about being ULTRA EFFICIENT with your mouse, it's about the computer doing what you want it to do. Which means nothing should happen unless I tell it to happen. Which means the mouse shouldn't do anything unless I click.
Yes, I've heard this argument before, private profits, socialized losses. But in return we get a system where capital flows freely instead of of hundred of billions of dollars sitting stagnant under mattresses.
I don't think eliminating the FDIC is a good idea, that would cause even more panic. So, do we socialize the banking profits? Neglecting how we would even get from point A to B, something tells me it's not a good idea to give the federal government control of all those trillions of dollars. And I'm pretty sure that competition in the banking sector is good, just like competition in other areas of the market.
On the other hand, it gives honest people a reward for reporting bugs, when all they would have gotten before is a thank you (maybe). How is that a publicity stunt?
And GP says limited scope like it's a bad thing. I wish more things in my life were limited scope (software projects, federal copyright protection laws, etc.)
The FDA does regulate medical devices and blood bank software. It is possible that within 10 years, the FDA will regulate clinical or medical record software. Problem is the regulations are not perfect, you can't regulate away software bugs and human error.
Unlikely. Carson was rarely heard from after his retirement.
In Detroit, they used to say, only two people know the definition of retirement, Johnny Carson and Barry Sanders.
Yes but evolution refers the the changes in genetic frequency. It's entire possible that the female genes that you refer to have been static relative to the males continually evolving bigger and brighter displays.
Isn't the index search ln(n) for each entry in x? So the overall complexity is O(n*ln(n))? You can't magically make something O(n) when the operation involves finding the matched pairs in two sets.
You're missing the point, I don't think the GP was claiming that your money only pays for a key...he was suggesting that Microsoft's reluctance to offer their product for digital download, followed by the purchase of a key, is the possibility that it would lower the perceived value of the product. It doesn't take a degree in psychology to realize that a person may perceive the thing that they are purchasing to be the item that they get when they hand over their money. If they perceive that they are simply purchasing a random looking key, at some level they may have buyer's remorse or feel let-down. If they get a shiny box with a case and a DVD, or at least a big file to download, they may feel a little bit better about their purchase.
You're missing the point. The point is that you cannot consider her actions representative of the Republican Party, because she frequently votes against the party line.
Of course you are not the only one. You are mostly right, but Chrome would definitely still exist, Google created Chrome because it did not want to depend on some other company for the means to deliver its applications and web services. They leaned on Firefox for a long time; if Firefox didn't exist, it's likely Chrome would have been created even earlier.
But I don't understand your point about the browser wars. Are you trying to say that the last time around the browsers competed by adding incompatible javascript extensions? If that were the case, then what did Firefox add to the browser wars? I would argue that the browser wars have been fought on the basis of functionality, stability, security and speed for a while (what else is there to fight about?)
Not all people consider speculating on land to be reasonable. See the Austrian school of economics. Land can be taxed proportionate to its value to discourage people from holding on to it.
With pipelining, a signal does not have to travel across the entire length of the chip in one clock cycle. In modern processors, there are always several (usually 10-20) instructions in process at any given moment.
Four man-weeks is, what, $10,000? How much was the machine that he bought? My guess is that it wasn't cheaper to buy a new machine, but it was easier and safer.
The risk is the thing. If it doesn't work, you're screwed.

What does kbps and mpbs mean? When measuring communication speed, bits are almost always used. 8 bits on a physical medium are not a byte.

What about pay-per-click ads on the same page as the copyrighted video? How is this not direct financial benefit?
Switching focus IS an action.

What? If it's the wrong window, it's the wrong field!
Right....cause lawyers are always 100% correct.

That's cos Bill didn't have the physical strength to lift and throw a chair being the penultimate geek.
Bill Gates was the penultimate geek? Who was the the last in the line?
I think the word you are searching for is prototypical.

He said the latest generation of consoles. The Wii, being two gamecubes duct-taped together is clearly a last generation console.
