Because scheduling disk IO in a way that doesn't effect performance is hard. And IIRC because someone patented the idea of playing a mini game while the main game is loading.
BHP's Olympic Dam expansion should come online within a decade or so. I really wouldn't worry about supply keeping up with demand, that mine is going to be huge.
Nuclear "waste" is still a radioactive material that has some energy it can release. With the right reactor design, you can use almost any radioactive material as your heat source for power generation.
Wow are you ever an insensitive clod. I guarantee you there is a significant percentage of Slashdot readers who aren't even users. Or people for that matter.
Plus with the amount of work valve have put into using "driver-back doors" the cost of using these libraries shouldn't be prohibitive. And if they do need to work around limitations in these libraries they can even contribute their changes back to the community so that other game developers can benefit from their work.
You can even force me to jump through hoops to download the.torrent if you want to. Show me a page full of adds, let me pay for the show if I want to (ala the recent radiohead album), then give me the torrent file.
With a microphone and speaker so close together, without some serious noise canceling processing going on, there is a limit to how much you can amplify any signal before you start getting ear splitting feedback.
And yet according to TFA this monitor still draws power when you press the standby / power button. It's only when the video signal ceases that the power usage drops to zero.
If I press the "off" button and have to press it again to turn it on, why is the monitor still drawing power?
And how many of those diseases that are killing the skinny people are actually causing them to lose weight while they're dying?
Was it their weight at death that they measured? Or their weight before becoming ill?
And what specifically is on your workstation that is so vital to the company that you need your coworker to use your machine to have access to it? Why isn't it already reachable on the network and backup up remotely?
on Windows the position is hardwired to the graphics card and they must be next to each other No. Microsoft got that working in windows 98 IIRC. There's more than one way to setup multiple monitors. I assure you I can change how the edges between displays are connected in XP, dragging displays of any resolution around.
And that's where abominations like OOXML come from. Sure there's a description for every flag and the flags are in English in the XML, but it doesn't help much.

So buy some advertising space, that way you can fit it in the margin up on the right.
Whatever happened to ATAoE? Wasn't that supposed to be the cheap equivalent to iSCSI / Fibre Channel?
More to the point, how difficult and expensive would it be to build a chip to interface between FCoE and a SATA drive?
I'm still hoping for a cheap consumer solution for attaching drives directly to the network.
Finally a device I can use to stab someone in the face over the internet.
An xkcd for any occasion, http://xkcd.com/241/.
True, but you can upgrade to any of their later versions for nothing.
Curious myself, I did a little googling and found quite a few references to Namco's patent #5718632 Issued on February 17, 1998.
I probably should have googled in the first place, it wasn't that hard to find.

Hell no.
From their recent hardware survey:
AndBingo. So someone mistyped or misremembered a url, and their Chinese ISP helpfully redirected them to a search engine.
Oh My!

Ah yes, the new and improved lameness filter.

But you don't lose the entire folder, you only lose the individual files being overwritten.

One of the first refunds I ever heard about was in 1998, by a friend of mine in Adelaide, Australia.
A strand of DNA has 4 symbols or colours, I wonder if there is already a cellular N,4 Turing machine at work processing so called "junk DNA".
