What we really need is to take a standard hybrid, add a bunch more batteries and a cord to charge them. Suddenly you've got an electric car with a spare gasoline engine for long road trips. I've heard of a company that is trying to do this. They can turn a Prius into an electric car that has a range of 150-200 miles. Need to go further? Just fill 'er up. The way most people drive, they'd be able to go full electric 95% of the time.
I don't think monochrome monitors ever used white (or at least, they were rare.) If you had it hooked up to a TV, it'd use white, though. It was usually green or sometimes amber.
I think what a lot of people are missing is that if you actually mount a rocket on the asteroid (or set off a nuke on it) you have to worry about all sorts of problems due to the potential fragility of it. What if you shatter it into pieces? Knock a chunk off? You could easily cause something unpredictable to happen which could force you back to the drawing board with not enough time.
The advantage this has is that you can move it without physically touching it, so you greatly reduce the chance that you are going to affect it in a way that causes you problems.
And don't forget Corel, which was at 4 in June of 2000, announce it's Linux distribution, shot up to 29 by December with all the other Linux companies, then fell down to 3 by June of the next year.
Yup. Most likely they figured they'd get the suckers^wtrekkies to buy at the high price, then after a couple years, they'd lower to where they could get regular people to buy. If you've got 10% of the people who will pay a $100 as soon as they can and 90% of the people who will pay $40, but aren't in a particular hurry, you make the most profit by selling at $100 for a year, then dropping the price to $40. (You need to wait long enough so that the suckers^wtrekkies either don't catch on to what you're doing or can't wait.)
You don't necessarily need XMLHttpRequest to do AJAX-like stuff. Five years ago, our app used an IE control embedded in a C++ app that talked to a server in the background using XML over HTTP, updating a HTML template using DHTML to display the results.

It is really quite simple. You are allowed to copy copyrighted works all you want. What is illegal is either selling or giving those copies to someone else. There is a "fair use" exception that lets you use short snippets for review purposes.
That's it. "Copying" is not illegal. Never has been. You can take a book of your shelf, rip it apart, create 5000 copies. All perfectly legal as long as you don't give/sell those copies.
Just play the original Age of Empires. In five years, the machine you need to play Age of Empires III will cost $500 and Age of Empires III will cost $9.99 in the discount bin.
This is especially the case where gay men and women are oppressed. In such societies, gay men and women will marry and have kids like everyone else. This was true of the US in the fifties. I know older gay men and women who got married and had kids because "that's what you do" and then came out later, when society had gotten less homophobic.
When Darwin was out studying birds on a far away island, he was a nobody and likely got few letters. After he published and became famous he stayed at home.
But what I think a lot of people don't quite realize in their gut is that back then, email was the *only* means of communication. You couldn't just pick up the phone and call a biologist in Germany.
It's for people who usually keep their computer in the den, but every once in a while want to bring it out to the kitchen table or patio for a bit. It's not meant for laps. It's meant to be easily moved from place to place when compared to a desktop.
I got a laptop that's relatively small, but has a wide screen (that is, a 16:9 aspect ratio). Just that extra bit of screen realestate helps tremendously. Sometimes the screen (at 1280x800) seems a little cramped, since I'm used to 1600x1200, but I don't know that I'd want to trade much physical screen size for more pixels.

With, like, a rocket engine pointed tangentally to its path, presumably.

Black and green you mean :-)
No shit. When I think "old school" I think "Castle Wolfenstein". And no, I don't mean, "Castle Wolfenstein 3D".

I hope everyone realizes that "lower software costs" means "lower programmer salarys" or "fewer employed programmers" or some combination thereof.
Yeah...these guys are way too disorganized to be true anarchists.
Did the submitter RTFA? The patent is not being "issued". They are merely making the patent application public.

Because you can replace the power plant with wind/solar/etc.
Quiet, you!

Why? Today's $500 computer is yesterday's $4000 screamer, and yesterday's $4000 screamer ran lots of good RTS games.
A $500 computer would run Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, Warcraft II, etc. just fine.

Which of those can I run Civilization 3 on?
Yeah, well, my ambition is to be richer than Bill Gates.
Not to mention that both men likely had personal secretaries to do the sorting for them.
That is the most intelligent way to approach any problem. Get someone else to do it.

Speaking as someone who uses Visual Studio every day at work, Vim's syntax editing beats it hands-down.
