I would just to point out that the paltry amount which would bring that $3.1 billion from "almost double" to actually double is $200 million dollars. That just plain sucks.
Goddamn corporations and their stock, even if it is Google.
Not a joke at all, and Anything By Anything is tech nically orderable at In-N-Out it is just a matter of asking. I know people who routinely get 6x6's but personally the most I ever get is a 3x3 and once I've gotten a 4x4 just for the fun of it.
Not to pick on you in particular (oh I'm sure you're shaking in your boots, bah) but with so many people making this same comment I have to address at least one of them.
While it is all well and good to have that hear it here first edge it would be crippling to not post something simply because it lacks that one attribute.
Yes everybody has already heard at least something about this but it does not mean that it shouldn't be posted. It's interesting damnit, that should be the first and main concern in choosing material not whether slashdot is the only place to hear it.
I was going to moderate this post but I think I'd rather respond.
SARCASM YOU FOOL! The sentence you quote obviosly implies that this is absolutely too much to ask.
"Scientists now say 100 million degrees C is not too hot to handle in this powerful energy-generating process."
Correct me if I'm wrong here but we are trying to fuse hydrogen here not helium, nobody need be messing around with temperatures anywhere near 100 million celcius.
"The goal is to measure what happens in Kim's brain when he expresses things and when he thinks about them."
Personally I'd be curious to look at the difference in his brain activity when he is dealing with one of his specialities as opposed to when he is trying to find a spoon.
Good point. It only applies if a large portion of the potential traffic was aware of the prediction but still a good point.
It's not a matter of being a right or wrong prediciton though, it's a matter or decreasing traffic. If it makes it so people get stuck in traffic less than it is a success. The statistic of being "right" or "wrong" in its prediciton is pointless.
Though obviously if every damn person was aware of it the predicted traffic would become the perfect driving conditions because everyone would avoid that area. So then people would start to purposefuly drive in the areas the system said would have heavy traffic, knowing that everyone else would avoid it. But then because so many people did that there would be traffic and so people would learn to avoid the areas...repeat until you come to the topic of a land war in China.
This always pisses me off, it's like the geek equivalent of fucking women talking about how the new bloddy fall line just came out and now they have nothing to wear.
I didn't mean to say that all platforms should be used in a schools curriculum. I was talking about systems made available for general use in schools. For example at one school I attended we had a few older macs for writing papers and such on.
I'm not sure how valid this thought is but it would seem that using Apple products in a school (talked about in the article) setting would pidgeon hole students into a very limited sector of the market. I'm not saying running Windows is going to be better or anything but for example I would have loved being able to choose to work on a platform of my choosing instead of being forced into one thing.
I'm usually on the other end of this and now I know how much it sucks. I can't partake because I'm American, arg...I mean bloody hell mate I'm as British as apple pi...umm bangers and mash.
SETI seems like a bit of a waste of energy compared to Folding at Home. It's not that I don't believe in extraterrestrials or anything, I even think that SETI is a pretty worthwhile project but compared to curing some of the ailments folding works on...well yeah.
Nope sorry, good try though. Iraq got its ass kicked in 91 and the sanctions were a result of this. Similar to what Germany had to go through after trying to take over the fucking world except on a smaller scale.
Umm no. It proves that Microsoft improves their products in the presence of a viable competitor. It doesn't show they don't otherwise. I'm not saying I don't agree I'm just pointing out that these facts have nothing to do with the main point of the arguement made, only with the exception.
Or maybe they are making sure the only people intelligent and rational enough to expose area 51 have come up with your explanation of things. Or maybe they knew you would know that they would know that you would come up with this theory.
Nope not a typo, a convenience I indulge myself in while typing on forums, boards, etc. I know it's a bad habit but I haven't got around to breaking it.
I am interested in your counting ability now that you've brought up errors. Maybe in your rage of grammtical thinking you added another "your" in front of the - Thought.
ClearChannel acts immorally to make as much money as possible while producing nothing but law suites and noxious gas.
Apple creates damn good products, ideas and such and then protect their creation.
That's the difference. Your not + Insightful your + Short Sighted and - Thought.
I really like it when people involved in saving the planet and all that are still able to think rationally use see things like nuclear power as useful. And it is useful, even if only for a few generations nuclear power is one of the best options available. That said I want an array of satellites collecting solar energy and sending it down to earth via microwave as soon as is feasible. And then after that I want feasible fusion damnit.
Not because I say so, because of the definition of the words and what they mean. I don't accept your assertion of what a nation is especially where America is concerned.
I'll agree to disagree if you will.

when it has no hope of ever killing you I don't think a deer ever has a hope of killing me, hundred feet away and high powered rifle or not.

Yes. Yes it is.
Yes. No. Maybe. I stand behind my answer..s.

Sometimes cheap little touches can really make a difference. Think about getting a old style popcorn maker and an expresso machine.
