They then can detect detect things like if a card is used in more than one location, or if more than once in n minutes. If one of these potentially illegal conditions exist the system can add your card to a blacklist and push it back out to the turnstyles all in under 11 minutes.
So you are saying that letting the person(s) behind me in my group use my card will invalidate it? I've not heard of this happening to anybody.
you mean any *new* ibook. Mine is now pushing 2 years old and the battery has just gone flakey. In the past 3 weeks its gone from holding 50% of capacity to only 10% the past few days. This was also *not* a laptop that used the battery a lot. I'd say its probably wall juiced over 75% of the time.
We all know the batteries don't last forever, but I don't think Ive come close to the number of charge cycles to do this. When it was new, I would get 3 1/2 hours on normal display settings. So I guess I would also ask not just how many hours it can run, but how long it can *last*.
so that means you would only pay USD 14 for a game? I'll grant you USD 70 is a bit much, but IMHO 35-45 bucks for a well done game is ok. Heck a movie costs $10 and if the game is good I'm gonna be playing it at least 8 hours.
I was under the impression (perhaps erroneously) that this paper was one of the heavier cited. I checked on database, Spires, showing 464 cites. He has others with many more, but they are more recent (60s/70s) so they would be weighted less.
I guess any attempt to quantify citations is difficult unless all journals in all languages are somehow put online. Even so there were some interesting papers listed.
story about underwriters crying about the whole auction process and fear that price will be so high that market collapses after. Given their idiotic pricing and occaisionally illegal distributions in dot bomb ipo's, why should anybody take them seriously? Of particular note is that they are being paid significantly less than a standard IPO.
keep in mind that while there is some (not perfect) degree of vetting of authors and sources in the mainstream news media, there is none on the internet. We can debate bias in media, but there is usually not hearsay, and the net is rife with hearsay. A total exclusion of one or the other is probably not a good thing.
however nokia needs to be careful not to jump onto what maybe a trend that has peaked. Quite a number of work places have banned cell phones w/ cameras and you wonder how many more will follow suit or place restrictions.
IMHO the market for 'pda' like cell phones is fairly limited- ubergeeks and severely stressed lawyers and similar. Most people won't use those features.
What would be a great feature, and perhaps its already available, would be a direction finder; - give it your location and where you want to go and it gets (and saves) the directions.
once again we see the far left unabled to handle anything that doesn't go their way. Free speech? only if its what we want to hear. Just look at the words/. uses to post many 'stories', such as this one. They could have edited or repharsed the original posters submission, but instead chose to keep its hysterical and accusing tone.
Well guess what? These rules have been around a long time and its about time that they were enforced. These are the *public* airwaves. This isn't HBO or Playboy channel. If you want ot hear/see all that stuff.. feel free to pay for it. The right to free speech is not absolute, especially when others (the public) are paying for it.
I just uninstalled the 64 bit windoze from a pc I built for a friend late this winter. While it seemed to be relatively stable, at least as far as beta goes, its not really usable. We could not get sound drivers for the built in chipset; only very recently has ATI put out publicly drivers for the 9800. Windows update had no updates at all in regards to teh ongoing blight of security holes.
I'm no billyg fan, but it seems pointless to compare 64 bit performance when the OS is not yet ready for general distribution.
I for one wouldn't mind a large boost in nuclear power at all, especially with the newer plant designs. And once/. makes the space elevator waste storage wont be a problem anymore either!

1- dont share needles 2- dont have unprotected sex 3- dont put untested blood into the blood supply
Have I missed any other major transmission route for aids? People can jump up and down on the soap box all they want, #1 and #2 will still occur, and there are people who even go around disputing #2. No amount of 'literacy' or 'education' will help that. #3 is something that should be easily done for relatively small money.
Aren't we suppose to run out of oil in 50 odd years or so? That should put a pretty big dent into the whole greenhouse thing.
I've been out of school (even grad school) for a few years now, and I of course bagged my share of classes in order to either drink beer or recover from drinking beer. But I rarely blew off class just for the heck of it. That was especially true in grad school where I was paying every penny out of my own pocket. I still pick up the occasional quantum or hep text, and while I can sift through most of it, its just not the same as having somebody that (hopefullY) knows the subject work through it vocally for you. Sadly there are times lecture notes aren't much better than the books alone, but most profs. will add some insights or alternative points to make reading them worthwhile.
If somebody feels their professor/lecturer is *that* bad they feel no reason to attend lecture, they should be raising hell with the school administration.
Most of the class have at best course outlines and HW problems. Very few have lecture notes, very few have solutions to problems. Its like, whats the point?
last I checked the dino's were more than nationwide, no? Illiteracy has not been a problem for what, 5000 years or so? If anything, the planet is at its most literate today. As for plagues, they come and go and are have a lot more to do with sanitation. Last check the septic system in N. America and Europe was pretty good. Droughts and floods have been going on since Noahs time, and frankly I think it a lot more likely we manage to deflect/blow up a big rock in space than change the weather in any significant way.
In any event, none of the things you mentioned would ever wipe humans off the whole earth, yet an asteroid hit does have that potential.
I think part of this may be ADD and its variants. I don't think all cases are physical manifestations, but rather many may be learned/aquired behavior. I know my attention span has tailed off quite a bit since the mid 90s, and its not just about getting older (I hope!). Look around at how impatient people are with *everything* now a days. We want instant gratification, and long term means more than a week. Look at the way people watch TV. Remotes have been around a long time now, but those channels keep spinning faster and faster. I just don't think most people have the patience required to sit down and read a book, even if its only a few pages at a time.

so make a raid 10 (8 drives @250GB ea) and keep 4 in
seperate location to rsync to.
may I ask a follow up though..
ive got a 4drive 10 raid, and frankly I'd like to keep it in
a seperate cabinet than the pc (dual athlons run hot as is).
Are there any ide compatible solutions out there?
(I know in my case I could probably just get away with a
full tower - if only I had the room for it.)

mmmm... I don't think anybody would be compelled to look at the solutions, at least not until they have tried. Granted the temptation would be there.
no, james is definitely under 101!

dont wan't to be dredging things up from the river bed do we?

then it would need to be on the upper west and in the Hudson or Harlem rivers.
Dont forget that they want to shoot down the windmills in VT as well. The commies are all for eco this and renewable that as long as NIMBY!
you clearly know nothing of the consequences of fat tails and outliers
they dont have to convert any units.. don't want them accidentally redirecting anything back this way!

that would read an old tape cut on tops-20?
