Therefore, using your reasoning I conclude that due to a clear history of incompetence, it is unwise to let private parties handle health care, and such practice should be banned.
At least in America, people's ecconomic status in life is in constant change. Someone rich or middle class can be poor while someone poor instantly changes to middle class simply by being employeed with the right company.
Anyone who has been stuck eating Ramen for months at a time please raise your hand. God knows how many time's I've been in a funk. Today, I enjoy making around 60k a year.
The point I'm trying to make is this. We need to stop looking at people being rich or poor and see them for who they are. Human beings.
Alcohol is alcohol, difference being the proof rating.
Drugs on the other hand fall into their own categories. Are we talking about just Marijuana? Or, are we also talking about PCP, Cocaine, Meth, Heroine, etc? We've got to make some serious distinctions here when debating drug prohibition. Some chemicals are far nastier than others!
No, graphics don't have to matter, but they do aid in the fantasy immersion.
Graphics hardware is getting cheap and plentiful in the market. Why would you want to skimp on it when HDTV display technology is replacing the old 4:3 aspect standard?
So I just created a RAM disk using the second 512MB of RAM, and voila! Everything ran much faster.
I've never tried it myself, but somehow I doubt it was working. As I know, when Windows boots up it will create/access pagefile.sys before a RAM Disk is generated.
How did you create your RAM disk? Was a line added in the config.sys file, or did you use a 3rd party program?
Unless it's on a short decaying orbit, why not launch a smart probe (like a guided missile) to track it down, latch onto the tool bag, and then drag it back down to Earth out of harms way.
Or is that just making too much common sense to solve the problem?
Oh really? Because I thought journalism was supposed to be unbiased. I mean, their supposed to report the news, not shape it to fit their world view and project it on the rest of society. Am I wrong? Is biased indoctrinatation a good thing? Doesn't sound like journalism to me.
Um... the water vapour condenses around soot particles in the engine exhaust
But isn't required to do so. Ever breath outside on a cold day? Same effect. When enough water molecules cling togeather on their own, crystallization will form.
FYI, modern jet engines are very well tuned to burn cleanly as possible. If soot is the problem, I would first look toward the quality of the kerosene (Jet A1) which is being burned and how it's being refined for production.
Piracy is wrong for sure. However, some demos are not time trial or usage count based, but rather an annoying form of "cripple-ware" with features missing or turned off. So I can understand why someone would pirate the full version to try it out. I personally don't see a moral problem with that approach. What I *do* have problem is when someone pirates software for personal productivity or enjoyment without paying for it. The relative questions being when and at what point should that distinction be made.
I honestly think we need to go back to the root of this issue. No technology needed. Just pay your due for rendered services. If your trying to cheat another man out of his labor, you should be smacked. Simply put, we're on the honor system and it's up to us to keep our fellow peers in check when they step out of line.
China doesn't need foreigners to come spend money on its soil, its making a fortune exporting good abroad anyway.
***face palm***
You do realize almost all of China's exported goods are the result from previous foreign capital investments...right!? You make it sound as though China came to global economic power on its own which would be in fact incorrect.
Bullshit. Speaking as an ex-average Chinese, the average Chinese doesn't feel oppressed at all. Government control of everything is and always has been the norm, even before the communists. In fact, nationalism is so ingrained in the culture that the people often feel the government is justified in doing most of the things Western audiences get their panties in a knot over.
Sounds like the mentality of the average chinese in Beijing. Meanwhile, citizens in Shanghai feel quite the opposite. More to the point, they really don't like each other much in comparison to the rest of the provinces. So I've been told anyways...
My primary complaint with Vista is how long UI operations take. Opening windows, dragging them around, launching applications etc. all seem to take place in something approximating geologic time.
That's because the GUI is now tied back to the GPU in order to pull off the eye-candy. Short-term, it was a big mistake durring Vista's launch. Long-term, it's for the best.
I've got an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT running with an Intel Q6600 at 1680x1050. The frame rate and responsiveness is silky smooth. Sounds like you just need a hardware upgrade, or revert back to "classic mode" if you want to use this OS.
FYI, my Vista score (Windows Experience Index) is a 5.9 for what it's worth.
Personally, I love the features the Curve 8330 has to offer. But I've had my phone spontaneously reboot once since I got it 20 some days ago. My co-worker also got got an 8330 about 30 days ago. Starting last week, his phone started rebooting spontaneously at least five times already before he got it replaced. Keep in mind that mine was from Verizon and he got his through Sprint. Both our phones are running OS v4.3.
I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue, but OS v4.5 has been released. Perhaps this will resolve the problem. I only wish BlackBerry would release software updates as frequently as Apple.

Actually, it could be done very easily. At least more easy then programming some video game or OS.
Have you ever read legalese (law book, contract...etc)? It's basically a form of "source code" for our social order.

Spoken like a true communist.
No you jackass! It's called getting hired and then being laid off from work. Last I checked, it's fairly common in the IT world.
BTW, why are you trolling? Did someone hi-jack your account or something?

My guess is that Microsoft wanted their next OS to be virtualized on a server and yet still be able to run applications written for Direct-X.
Yes

This isn't news, but just points to another obvious fact about the anti-military bias in the press.
It would be a perfect phone call if we can all listen in on it.
Schadenfreude is the pleasure we all love to hate :)

Better yet, a whiteboard with a projected image on it at the same time.

How big a data center do they need?
How much porn do they have?
What is needed is a multicore processor in which all the cores perform pure MIMD vector processing.
You mean like what's in the Playstation 3; an IBM Cell processor?

Here in the US, that would be $250,000. After all comrade, it's patriotic to pay your fair share of taxes.
