Eek, slight correction, power loss is a function of resistance and current. Whether it's AC or DC has nothing to do with it. In fact extremely high voltage transmission lines use DC in Japan.
We use AC because it's much cheaper to step it up to a very high voltage to lower the current (thereby lowering Pl), and then step it back down again once we're at our destination.
Power Loss = I^2R
I'm sceptical about the "memory effect" claim, but I don't know enough about batteries to claim you're wrong. I'll just leave you with a link to a guy I trust more than random/. commenters. http://www.dansdata.com/gz011.htm
And the wasted electrical heat generated by the servers can't be used to offset the usage of fossil fuel heating? These two types of heat are fundamentally different and can't be combined?
Quite a lot of the aging in beer is the live yeast "cleaning up" byproducts of the quick fermentation before bottling. If you could even get the yeast to be more active and aggressive (I have no idea how you'd do that) it would likely just create more byproducts.
So why don't nintendo provide an avenue for homebrew that's just a little bit of a pain? Say the ability to run unsigned code but you need to set up a dev environment and recompile from source for each console. For homebrewers that's not even close to an issue, and would mean they'd likely not bother trying to find other hacks.
Maybe, but then you have to think it's been 4 years since the original DS came out, and this new DS will still be able to play its games. Keeping 4 years worth of backwards compatibility is still a fair effort.
Personally I find the UFRAW plugin for gimp to be the best solution, apply your curves and process the raw, then do editing, rather than trying to do both at once. But maybe I'm just stuck in my own rigid process.
GIMP isn't a RAW conversion tool, surely your curves are applied before you're anywhere near it? You might want to look at your process.
I'm merely pointing out that it's not the insane dealbreaker the GP and some other posts make it out to be, it'd be nice, and they're working on it. But in the meantime unless you're doing a shit ton of photo *editing* (not processing) on photos that started with a rather compressed histogram, you're not going to see the amazing difference you think.
"When Stallman actually has a job where he gets paid for producing code for corporations, where he can't just wait for some open component so he can deliver what's required (how long has HURD been now?), I'll start respecting his opinion."
You'll start respecting his opinion once he becomes someone else? That's honest to god retarded.
You're right, I haven't done objective C, I was criticising the idea that the ability to make decisions based on type or accepting any type at runtime makes a language "dynamically typed". If that's the case it becomes a meaningless definition.
Ahh, the "I've used lots of languages" argument. Nobody is impressed dude, I'm yet to meet a good programmer who couldn't pick up any language in a matter of days.
Exactly. "Percentage of time spent working" is and always has been a useless statistic except for the most menial of tasks. The only metric that matters is "work done".
Not a week goes by where someone doesn't trot out a new statistic on how P2P uses the vast majority of bandwidth on the internet. And you suggest NAT will be the solution to limited IP addresses.
*sigh*
Except the purpose of school is to teach children to be functional members of society but with the cushion of punishment being limited to the scope of the school, rather than something so extreme and damaging as suing for libel or criminal charges.
Suspension was a commonsense approach. Taking the case to court was the usual "I will not accept responsibility!" response.

Hehehe. Give up mate, you still don't get it :-P
Correct. This is why the number of years listed on a bottle of scotch (by law I think) has to be the number of years that it spent in the cask.

Some things just plain take time

Just putting it out there, but could you imagine how sick of that question you would get if you were him?
The vast majority of DSLR's only have 12 bits per channel in raw mode to begin with, and certainly only 8 bits in jpeg. Get a grip.
Sure is lucky they make money off the device then eh?
Those crazy nintendians and their "rational business models", why I tell ya..
There is a large telco, it's not government run and it doesn't "totally" own the infrastructure, just a lot.
Ha, yes, after reading that self-important arrogant dribble, I'm sure everyone can see how *I'm* the "poseur".

By that definition any language that allows downcast checking is "dynamically typed".
Well I've heard enough.
NAT Transversal requires that the box doing the NAT'ing trust the the PC inside the NAT. Clearly an ISP can't rely on that.
Also there's a hard limit on the amount of ports you can map through here as well. Though it is rather large.

What on earth else could I have meant by the historical givens? I was also referring to women not having the vote.
The main point was that most all decisions were able to be voted on by all "citizens".
Define "significant". Athenian democracy was fairly close so long as you ignore the historical givens.

Good way to shut down a country, all hail anarchy!
And if the immunity is unconstitutional it won't be a problem as SCOTUS will strike it down yeah?
The american constitution didn't even manage to remain an upheld document till it's 50th birthday. It's time to just deal.
