Has anyone told you that you're an idiot? Because you are. You're gambling with your daughter's life. I hope she grows up with enough brains to sue you for child endangerment after she turns 18.
Many fewer people die or even experience an irritation from vaccinations than would die or be horribly deformed from the things prevented by the vaccinations. You probably still drive a car, don't you? Don't you know kids could dieinoneofthose?
It amazes me how otherwise rational people can be so fucking stupid.
Can't convince people God isn't real, either. It's easier (less scary) for people to think that something is in control rather than it being unpredictable and random as far as our current knowledge allows.
Sure. But until stem cell therapy gets past the ground stages, this is nice. Hell, who knows... they might even be able to adapt it so people could control more limbs than they're born with.
Using your analogy, we shouldn't have done any development on steam engines since internal combustion engines would be so much better and just needed some more research.
Second point, robotics engineers are not cellular biologists. You can't just "divert resources" like that.
Whoops... my bad. Looks like there are Mini-ITX boards with AM2+ sockets. Still, they cost a lot more than a comparable Micro-ATX board, are only slightly smaller and have many fewer expansion options.
You don't have the horsepower to drive HD on a Mini-ITX board. They don't run anything other than Geodes or EPIA chips, and H.264 is only barely beginning to be accelerated under Linux so you need a pretty beefy CPU to watch full HD H.264 media, or a ton of disk space with a lesser compression scheme. Using Micro-ATX you can put a proper multi-core x86 CPU in to do the decoding.
Except not really. Britannica is basically useless any more. It's not more accurate, it has less information, it's less current. ANY encyclopedia should only be regarded as a starting point for serious research. It's great for a quick relatively unimportant fact or to point you to some proper research but since Wikipedia is publicly editable the facts need cross-checking with a reputable source if you're going to use them as a basis for anything serious.
Huh. What'd you do to the rest of your system? I haven't had any problems with it on multiple systems with many different configurations and video drivers. I know "I don't see it" is kinda shitty to say, but I haven't heard that from anyone else using 64bit Flash, either.
SOME lawyers aren't stupid. Just like some people who post on Slashdot aren't stupid. But that doesn't preclude stupid lawyers, or idiotic Slashdot posts. Didja sleep during the logic courses that I'd presume you had to take when getting your engineering and law education?
My Blackberry 8800's ARM runs at 312MHz. And that lasts for two days with the radio on, probably more if I turn it off. Yes, ARM is much more efficient. It's designed that way. It's not as fast or as scalable necessarily, but that's not the point.
Get Flash 10. It works great. I'm using the 64bit install from labs.adobe.com, and it works perfectly for everything I do with it. Flash games, Youtube, even site menus using Flash no longer do the crappy overlay stuff. And it's 64bit native.
How much of iexplore's memory is shared, though? I don't have a Windows box to check, but don't forget that IE uses a lot more memory that isn't shown in the "private memory" column because it loads up Windows shared libs (that it is the only program to actually use) that do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Copyright does NOT give you the right to dictate how something is used. It's in the damn word... copyright. You get to control who gets to copy it, and that's it. Psystar is buying a legit copy, so they're not doing anything illegal.
Just because you have Steve Job's cock in your ass doesn't change the law.
DDR is data transferred on the rising and falling cycles. Triple data rate makes no sense with a sine wave signal. QDR on the other hand is alive and well
Don't forget that even on a new build, AMD motherboards are by and large less expensive than Intel ones. I just bought a new AM2+/AM2 motherboard with an integrated ATI 3200 video card (780G chipset) including optical audio out for $85. It's in my media center now, plays HD video awesomely and as soon as ATI gets some H.264 acceleration it'll be even lower CPU usage.
No, but I can take the cover off of it, put a new one on and re-sell it. They aren't substantiavely modifying OSX. They're only changing the parts that artifically lock it to hardware, not misrepresenting what it is. It's an abuse of copyright to say otherwise.
The point is that you don't NEED permission to do that. It's the first-sale doctrine... you don't get to tell people what they can or can't do with what you sell them after you've sold it to them. You can refuse support, refuse updates, whatever, but you cannot prevent them from doing what they want with it, and that includes selling the modified product. If software companies want to keep treating software as a "thing" to be sold, then they should also be subject to all the normal economic concerning "things" that are currently allowed.
Wait, flash drive keys? So if someone nicks your users laptop bag, they have the lock AND the key? That's not terribly secure. You should always need a password, otherwise users will just keep the key with the laptop and you've gained nothing in security.
Really? So there aren't any companies selling overclocked Nvidia cards? It's perfectly legal as long as you aren't misrepresenting things. Claiming it's a card with an Nvidia chip is fine. Saying it's an Nvidia reference card is fraud.
How about Windows... Dell sells Windows that's got a number of modified and after-market system files that allow the hardware to run. That's all Psystar is doing.
Just because Apple says so doesn't make it true. Psystar is not selling an Apple-certified and/or supported OS. Just like you can still sell a car if you've replaced the headers, you should be able to re-sell an OS if you've replaced some parts of it, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MISREPRESENT IT. Psystar is not doing so, so I can't see any reason why they shouldn't be allowed to keep selling machines. Hell, Apple's even making over $100 in profit on each sale that Psystar makes.
I dunno... what about the XFree86 to xorg conversion? That went very quickly... forks will really take over if they offer a significantly better product than the "original" monopoly. Even open-source, you have to keep yourself moving otherwise someone will get annoyed and do it better.

The problem is that current batteries are expensive, and horrible for the environment. For modest expense proven efficiency advantages are provided by simply changing the aerodynamics of the truck: http://www.freightwing.com/ http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/11/study_improveme.html

Zone-H is currently hacked... interesting.

You would be correct, sir. I'm pretty sure you can use Postgres if you want to, but the default is most definitely MySQL for MythTV.
