Except that, if it had been a Creative Zen or an iPod, you'd still have it to play your favorite music. No big loss? Come on... You now HAVE to buy a new one.
And here's to Microsoft recognizing the problem (they didn't yet) and fixing it.
Want to know something? Android has already outsold the iphone...
Want to know something true and founded? Apple has outsold Windows Mobile and the HTC Touch is no where near competitive. Being Android's sole phone on the market, I'd say iPhone outsold Android. See here.
Personally, I suspect pudge is behind this one, since he wrote a rant last night about how nobody at all covered this, and how the news companies that did screwed up by calling it "official".
Suddenly, slashdot has an article about the "unofficial" electoral college results. What a coincidence?
Metal is stronger than ice, since we make boats out of metal instead of ice. At room temperature, ice will melt faster than metal. And yet, the Titanic sank because of a supposedly iceberg. And no word on this from the government... Also, if you take the word "TITANIC" and you remove the letters T, I, and T, and then you add the letters C, O, S, P, R, and Y, then it spells conspiracy. Coincidence???
Theory conspiracist will always be the same... And "what a coincidence?" doesn't make much sense. Are you asking a question or not?
"Achievement" has many meanings. With the web well on the way past "2.1" and somewhere in the Alpha for 2.5 or something, smart people have a profound resource on tap for First Order questions.
Most great innovation is a coalescence in and around the Eureka moment where you buy people pizza. Let's suppose you are with, oh, the Memristor team. You just announced the Eureka.
The way you're speaking I'm literally seeing a guy who says "I did it! I've discovered a new <Insert some jargon here/>!" and then something on the screen: "Achievement unlocked! Moving society forward!"
I think video games spoiled us somehow... science is a continuous process, not a discrete one.
Although I'm mostly against multi-boxing, you really have to sharpen your arguments and gather at least some insights. Don't hate something you can't understand. Check the forums, or google it. Look at how they do it, and why it's not illegal. You'll learn a lot about the game itself along the path.
Once you've mastered the way, learn how to destroy it. I hate multiboxers, but I've learnt to beat the crap out of them easily. The timing is still hard for me, though, and as such I mostly run away from them when I got the chance.
I love you too. What is it about being retard and insults? Next time, if you want to go the cheap road, just do your homework, Einstein. Just look north of USA. I'm in Canada, and although some parts are still using satellites, our population has a better internet speed than you guys. And by better I don't mean "a bit more", I'm meaning more than 3 times faster. July 2007 stats here. Has anything changed much since?
Mods like paying taxes.... I wish I had a trust fund to!
Actually, I _do_ love paying taxes. If it's for something I believe in. And I believe in socialism; a country isn't just a mass of egocentric people who would shoot each others at the sight of someone you don't know on your lawn.
Sorry to break it down to you, but USA is at the bottom of the list for too many points, and (funnily) many socialist countries are at the top. Included points are: education, rehabilitation, democracy, life expectancy, internet speed and access (which is the matter at hand), lack of corruption (lobbyism is a national sport in USA), smallest prison population, number of murder per year per capita... may I go on?
A "real" language has been classically defined to mean "a language which can compile itself."
Complete and total bullshit. If you deny that Python and Perl "compile" themselves, than neither do Lisp or Smalltalk, two of the fundamental pillars of modern programming language pedigree. And I don't think anyone familiar with those languages would claim they aren't "real".
Honestly, you have no idea what the hell you're talking about, do you?
Add to that the fact that any language which can output byte streams to a file, can read a text file and is turing complete (although that last part is not even 100% necessary) can take any source file (whatever the language) out there and output its executable binary file. It then follows that Javascript with a STDIO library _IS_ "a language which can compile itself", just that there are no compiler easily available.
The OP just wanted to throw up the definition he heard in a book... He should go and read some stuff about algorithmic before talking about classes of languages.
The key here is the phrase 'on the same hardware'. As operating systems do more, they take more hardware to perform adequately. And it's not a Windows thing, it's a MacOS thing and a Linux thing.
Not necessarily. MacOS X, 10.2 was faster than 10.1, and 10.3 faster than 10.2, on the same hardware. It wasn't until 10.4 that you actually started seeing a performance hit on G3 and slower G4 computers.
In any event, I'm not sure that I'd call the jump from 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3 'major iterations'.
In any event, I'm sure you don't know what you're talking about. The full list of features in each iteration was astounding. The difference between 10.1 and 10.2 was of the order of those between Win 2k and Win XP. The fact that they update minor version numbers doesn't change the fact that they add enough to call it a major iteration.
Don't believe me? Check out for yourself on wikipedia: 10.110.2 and 10.3. Thank you, come again.
What exactly does your first sentence have to do with the rest of your post?
*sigh* My parent suggested that we sue people who distribute copyrighted materials as opposed to those recording it. In my first paragraph, I stated that this was unenforceable and brought as proof that the RIAA tried exactly that and couldn't.
Then, making an analogy with those who trigger bombs and those who make them, as similar to those who distribute the cam releases and those who make them. In both cases, as long as we can't enforce the first one, I'm against permitting the second one.
So, what part of my post did you think made the less sense? I'm not sure I understand your inquiry, but I'm certain you didn't understand my post.
Like, for example, the ability to upload the data for others to download and circumvent copyright laws, and therefore is significantly different than a brain.
So arrest him for that. If the video is only ever used for personal private use, who was harmed by the filming?
So you encourage RIAA tactics to sue anyone who ever had Kazaa/eDonkey/$p2psoftware installed on their computers? If they have proven anything, it is that what you are suggesting is NOT enforceable in any ways... so yeah, until you can prove the guy will only use the recording for himself without redistributing it, I should consider it illegal as well.
Sorry pal, but reality is not as simple as "arrest only those who detonates bombs in malls, not those who build them as long as they don't use them" kind of thinking...

Engineers are billed at about $90 an hour. That includes wages, health benefits, rental for the cubicle space, and heating.
Add to that the cost of gravity and air (which are provided by your employer on the work place).
Of course, in my line of work the goal is to go from "a million years" to "realtime" so all the hardware in the world isn't really going to help much.
You're working on methodologies for the government?

Titanic stuff taken from Maddox.
Space is technically a symbol when talking about password strength.
I don't quite agree.

My dorm room used to get so goddamn hot because of this.
Mine used to get hot because of the girls. Aaaah! Wishful thinking...
Depends on what you do with the baby...
seriously thats almost enough to stream HD porn.

Some people are just NOT connected to reality anymore...
May 2009 seems to me a perfect 'real and legitimate' date - opposed to February 30, 2009.
Hush! Don't tell my fiancee.
How is meme formed?
How meme get poplar?

Ahah! In time, Timmy, you shall answer those questions on your own.
