I generally agree with your statement. One warning: be careful when using the latest ATI drivers http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/vista64/common- vista64.html . 7.3 hosed my system (BSOD) and the uninstall doesn't work in safe mode. My advice is to stick with 7.2 for now.
Also, we can burn less coal and gasoline, and process less uranium, if more of the power production systems move to renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro-electric)
I just saw someone on TV same the same thing and I wanted to mention that the best solution would to keep the nuclear power, but using a better process than is currently in use. Here is why we won't be able to switch entirely to those types you mentioned:
Hydro: well first off you need a large moving water source. In order to build a dam, you will be changing the ecosystem that is currently in place. You may need to divert the river, possibly greatly changing the ecosystem it supports currently. You will also be creating a large reservoir right in front of the dam.
Wind: Loud, ugly, possibly changing the climate and environment around them. Same problem as nuclear - no one wants them in sight
Solar: I like it. However, currently power output isn't enough. That might change in the future, but of course you will still need the sun to power these. Sorry, Seattle.
The future I would like to see still includes nuclear power; just with more modern processing and recycling. My wish is people who claim to be environmentalists, would simply do some research and then perhaps they wouldn't be so afraid of the technology.
Yes, it's satire but the humor they use makes its intent obvious (IMHO). And I would agree it actually has less spin than most programs. Remember a program's "spin" doesn't have to be over politics. Most of the 24-hour new networks spin events to make them seem more dangerous, exciting, or more newsworthy than the really are so they can boost their own ratings.
You obviously haven't used their hardware products like keyboards and mice. MS makes some of the best products in the business in these categories and I would buy them for use with any operating system. Whether or not their portable media player will be good or not, I do not know. I will simply buy whatever I feel works the best for the price no matter whose name is on it. If the executives don't mess with the team designing it and if they don't encumber it with WMA-only playback, then it could end up being a cool device. Time will tell
The masks (as if that is all that would be found) come from different eras during history. By looking at their design and construction, you can tell how they changed over time and if there were any outside influences. Plus, profits from the museum can go to further expeditions. Anyway, archeology is learning about the past as well as preserving its history and artifacts.
How was this modded so high? Of course the rulers had exquisite jewelry and other belongings. It's no different than any other culture. The reason it should go to museums and not to robbers is so that everyone can enjoy and learn from them. They teach of the history and the culture of the ancient egyptians. How is it doing any good to society if a couple of people steal something and it's melted down or sold to some rich guy for his private collection?
they state in the notes that they chose it because APC is released under the PHP license so they can include it with the release. I know Bart is going to be working on redoing all the eaccelerator code so he can change it to the PHP license as well but that will take considerable time. I also wonder whether it would still be enough. Ive seen benchmarks that put eAccelerator in front of Zends own product, which Zend must not be too happy about. But its good to see at least some caching be put out there even if its only memory-caching. Then maybe many ISPs will go ahead and turn it on instead of having no caching at all.
i also read this article. The catch is the technology is a few years away. But the upsides are plenty. The reactors can be built mostly underground (making terrorism harder) and the recycling facilities can be onsite. So in reality all the reactor needs is the initial shipment and a shipment every some x years. If it all works out, it sounds like a great long term plan. Of course if fusion power proves successful, it would definitely be a better course, however I think the best idea would be to plan as though fusion wont work so that we do have a plan for the future
Ya guys really. Forget about HDCP. I want to know why they claim H264 acceleration but then after you buy you find out here that you actually need to buy the special codec for it. IMHO, when you put H.264 acceleration on the box it should come with it!
Someone should organize a day where everyone calls a friend and says that. I bet we could overload their system. We'll call it National Privacy Rights Day or somesuch.
To further your point here utilities are much different than other forms of business. Some kind of public infrastructure needs to be built and maintained. This is the whole reason why these companies are so large in the first place and is their best defense against allowing competitors in the marketplace. When you deregulate a utility, the companies will consolidate (becuase it is vastly cheaper to service a larger area - ie the equipment and manpower can be shared). Fast food restaurants need no public infrastructure - you can place one anywhere. This is why I believe that normal businesses and those that operate a utility should be treated differently.
Are you kidding? This will make things much worse. Large companies will control all the lines and force smaller ones out of business. Large ISPs control the backbone and would have to rent it out to smaller ones. Having many companies compete is exactly what the bigs guys DONT want to see. They will purchase the smaller companies or refuse to lease the lines to them. This is why deregulation is BAD is many cases. I think it will create the opposite of what you wanted and actually drive prices up. What we need is stricter rules if companies are trying to pull this crap.
PHP is designed for Web Applications. I wouldn't try to write a Chat Room in PHP. I think you are comparing apples and oranges here. I think a better comparison would be between PHP and Java/JSP/Struts/Whatever. There PHP is succeeding because it is easier to use and faster to develop. This is why the summary stated the prediction 'PHP will be more popular than Java for building web-based applications'.
Even worse HES DOWNLOADING FROM BITTORENT. Why would the feds need to bust in? The **AAs will just catch him like every other bt user since the bt protocol itself isnt encrypted. Like any other P2P network, users connect to other users would have the data. Just start downloading a torrent and log everyones ips that connect to you.
Please explain why you think this will be cheap. Everything i see points to a very expensive chip. With rambus memory technology, an ibm design, and the fact that it's brand new, I dont know where you are coming up with the idea this thing will be cheap. Not to mention everyone thought the Itanium would spell death for x86, but that went nowhere.
Well it seems much faster than firefox, but there's a point at which an application becomes 'too customizable'. You have to edit a text file just to change the toolbar buttons? And there doesnt seem to be any extensions right now, you might want to wait. Personally I would like to see a native-rendered firefox.
You could use it for a frontend. But since it doesnt have video out it wouldnt be much good. I would recommend an old pc or an xbox if you are looking for just a frontend. a brand new mac (even the cheapest one available) doesnt seem like a good investment to me.
how do you know they were using the money themselves. many people who run servers ask for donations to pay for bandwidth and the servers themselves. IIRC, in the US at least, can't you take up to $1000 in donations without having to claim it on your tax return? It might be $100 but if they can prove that they were using the money for only running their servers, it might bring a lesser penalty.
i dont understand. why would you add encryption to bittorrent? wouldnt they just use a modified client to connect to the tracker and to peers to find out who is downloading a file? how good is encryption when they use the same system. Also they wouldnt need to monitor your connection. the MPAA could simply ask ISPs to ban the IP addresses of known trackers in China.
I wonder what ever happened to the concept of integrity and principles in government ?
Your statement implies this existed at one time.
I still get telemarketing calls due to loopholes in the policy. They call from Canada or other off shore call centers. I think the only real solution is to cancel phone service, but of course I cannot do that because the cell phone coverage is spotty at my home. But if you think about this, its not only the telemarketers who will benefit. The phone companies themselves make money off both the usage of the circuits and services to end users to block these calls. The only way to make this work is to some how force phone companies to be responsible for their customers getting unsolicited phone calls.
i dont know much about this sort of thing, but if its true that the data is backwards on the disc, couldnt you simply reverse the order of the data in the iso before burning it? or is there something else that precludes this?

Wasnt that Super Mario Bros? I thought Zelda was in the half-hour block with Captain N and Super Mario Bros was a separate show
